Earlier, after seeing a movie and chatting for some time, Tom and Lucy decided to go downstairs to see what the others were up to, and they met Evelyn, Desmond, Sonia, Bryan, and Dawn in the Den all playing a game of monopoly with Dawn managing the bank. No sooner had they sat down before one of the housekeepers came in to inform them that they had visitors, so they had all gone out to greet Aaron and co. "Lucy!" Jamal exclaimed excitedly the moment he sighted her, and ignored everyone else as he ran…-

After taking a stroll around the neighborhood as planned, Harry and Jade were now seated on the swings at the porch in the cool of the evening just before dinner. "You know, this reminds me of the first time we both sat down here," she said with a small smile as she glanced at Harry. "Really? What do you remember about it?" Harry asked, and she grinned. "I remember our mugs of warm chocolate, our conversations, and most importantly I remember thinking that you had the most gorgeous pair of brown eyes…

"Mind if I join you beautiful ladies for dinner?" Cassidy asked when he walked into the house and saw Andy, Susan and Maribel seated for dinner. Although it sounded like a general question, his gaze was on Andy since he wanted to be sure she didn't mind sharing the table with him. Despite their discussion two days ago about not staying away from his house on her account, he still tried to minimize contact with her as much as he could. "I don't know about the others, but we could use the presence of a…

By the time Harry stepped out of the bathroom some time later, Jade had arranged the bedroom and not a thing was out of order. He smiled as he towel dried his hair and looked around the bedroom, "Good job, esquire," he said and she smiled. "I was beginning to think you were going to sleep in there. Why did you take so long?" Jade asked with a pout. "Because I love to take my time to clean up," Harry said and Jade rolled her eyes. "What's there to spend so much time in cleaning up? It's not like you're…

As Lucy and Tom lay on the bed watching a romcom on his laptop, Lucy tapped on the pause button when it suddenly occurred to her that this was the first time they were actually doing this. "What is wrong?" Tom asked as he turned to her when she paused the movie. "Do you realize that this is the first time we are seeing a movie together this way? I mean just lying down idly on the bed and seeing a movie on a laptop?" She asked, and Tom considered it for a moment. "I guess it is," he said and she…

Harry raised a brow when Jade opened the door to her bedroom, and his vision was assaulted by the sheer pinkness of her bedroom. He said nothing as she pulled him into the room and once she shut the door behind them she turned to him once again and embraced him fiercely. As his gaze swept across the room, taking in the teenage decor as well as all the Barbie stickers and picture clips of her in dancing costumes decorating the walls, he couldn't help wondering how she had managed to stay sane in such…

By Friday, the Hank family had sort of adjusted to the idea of Dawn being Lawrence's daughter, and were now back again to focusing on his death than on his misdeed. Of course they had no choice than to adjust to the idea of Dawn being a part of the family seeing how much ruckus Tom's public statement had caused all over the internet. Just as Lucy had expected, Dawn had become one of the most searched topic on the internet from the moment the statement was released, and even though the Hank family…

Once Harry was done freshening up, he returned to the living room to join his family for dinner at the dining. They all ate in silence for some time until Aaron spoke up, "So, how are things going with Tom and Lucy?" "I'm yet to speak with Lucy, but I know Tom is isn't faring really well. Everything is getting to him," Harry said and Aaron nodded. "Something like that would get to anyone. Considering his grandfather's reputation, I was quite surprised to read about him being the kid's father. That…

The moment Lucy stepped inside the house, Sonia who had been waiting for her, took her hand and dragged her to the porch since everyone else had gone into the study to discuss their grandfather's funeral arrangements, while one of the housekeepers was attending to Dawn and prepping her for bed. "What is wrong?" Lucy asked as she followed Sonia. "I should be asking you. I noticed how you were acting with Dawn during dinner earlier. Did something happen during the short nap I took?" Sonia asked as they…

Later that evening after they had all had dinner together, Lucy saw her parents off to their car, leaving Dawn with Tom and the rest of the family. "How are you coping with everything?" Andrew asked referring to the rumors which had been circulating all over the internet. "I'm okay. It has been taken care of already, remember?" Lucy said, since they had all followed the news and seen the public statement from I-Global addressing the rumors of Tom's relationship with Kimberly. They had issued a…
