‘What is his deal?’. I wondered, and at that instant, I became uncomfortable. And waiting for my plates of porridge felt like it took ages. A few more minutes, and he was still staring at me. Just then, the waitress returned with the plates of porridge. I suddenly forgot about the old man and took out the silver necklace I had hidden underneath my dress. I dipped it into both plates of porridge. And after confirming they were not poisoned, I began to eat. I did not fail to see the disbelieving look the waitress gave me, but I did not care what she thought of me. As she was leaving, I stopped her and asked, “Who is the old man?”. She shook her head at me after taking a glance at him. “Him? Don't mind him”.“He has been coming to the restaurant lately and was always spouting nonsense about wanting an apprentice to pass down his generation of skills”. “Anyway, it's good if you ignored him”. She said to me, before she left. “Ignore him. Got it”. I said and continued eating. But, I

{8 years later}Travis's pov,“Today marks exactly 8 years since she left Sally City by boat”. “But why have I not heard anything from her ever since then?”. “Why did I not find her when I crossed over the water?”. I muttered and rubbed my palms on my face, before I rose up from my chair and weakly went to stand in front of the transparent wall, as I stared outside. I ran my fingers through my hair, before hiding both hands inside my trouser's pockets. “Where in the world are you, Georgina? I just want to know if you are alright”. I said, when a knock on the door distracted me and made me stop thinking about her. The look on my face abruptly changed from being worried, to being blank. “Come in”. I said plainly, and the door opened. I did not bother to take a look at the person’s face yet. “State your business”. I went straight to the point and demanded. “Mr Travis, it is your father, the chairman. He has just arrived at the company, and your presence is needed right now in the

Georgina's pov, “Are you sure about this? You did not have to accept their invitation”. Clara said to me, and I clenched my fist tightly, and my eyes darkened. “I am sure about this. I have made my promise of making them pay. And I intend on fulfilling my words, even if it is the last thing I ever do”. I gave her my answer, and she nodded at me. “Very well, then. Just know that I am with you. I will go with you whenever you go”. She assured me. But rather than be assured, I raised an eyebrow at her and said, “Aren't you supposed to be busy handling your family's company? And besides, did I allow you to come with me?”.“Tsk”. She rolled her eyes at me. “Don't think I am doing this because I care about you, Gina. I am only doing this for those little cuties of yours”. “Also, I am not the only one alive in the Norman family. Of course, there are other people who could stay in my place and take care of the company for me”. She proudly said with her chin up. And just as she finished t

I checked the time on my cell phone. It was exactly 6:05pm. It was indeed a long boring flight, and along the way, I had imagined myself wearing a parachute and jumping out of the jet. Too bad I did not let my intrusive thoughts win. “How far till we arrive?”. I asked Clara as I was sick and tired. For once, I wanted to get to a bedroom, lay on the bed, shut my eyes, and sleep off. I don't remember the last time I had a good night's sleep. "Be patient. We are going to arrive there soon”. She said, making me sigh in defeat and shut my eyes, before fixing my gaze outside the limousine as I watched people who were going on about their day. By the time I turned around and coincidentally glanced at Clara, I saw her grinning and raising an eyebrow. “What did you do?”. I asked her because I figured she would not have acted like that if she had not done something. She smiled widely. “Don't worry. You will soon see it”. She said to me, and at that point, I knew that what

Claire's pov, I finished bathing and wore one of my best outfits. It was a thin blue gown, and had many sparkles and glimmers. I had worn this particular gown on purpose because Harrison was the one who bought it for me. I figured that whatever occasion he had prepared, the outfit was going to be a perfect fit for that. I grabbed my black heels and wore them, before I went and stood in front of the large wall mirror that had glowing lights attached to every corner. My face was as bright and clear as the sun, and my hair was styled to the side, and it rested on my shoulder. “Perfect”. I muttered, before my lips curved into a smile. After putting on a piece of necklace, I left the room, as I wanted to find him. I went to the living room, and seeing that he was not there made me slightly shake my head, because I realized where he might certainly be. He must be with Jamari, our daughter. With that, I changed course and walked in the direction of her room. When I stood in front of
