Monday morning came very fast, and as usual, Tom and Lucy left for the office before the others came out of their bedrooms. They had woken up a bit late and had to hurriedly get ready for work and leave. It was the week of the anniversary and there were a lot of things that needed to be done, starting with the annual meeting with the shareholders and board of directors to present the company's financial performance to them, and to discuss the way forward for the coming year. Tom pretended not to notice…-

As Jade ran up the stairs to her bedroom ahead of Tom, she ran into Candace at the top of the stairs. "Seeing the smile on your face I guess you both made up," Candace said, and seeing that Jamal was nowhere in sight, Jade took Candace's arm and pulled her with her. "Yes, we did," Jade said with a happy smile. "Why are you pulling me with you?" Candace asked as she let Jade pull her along. "Because I need someone to listen to me gush about how much I am in love with Harry. And since you are his twin…

Harry listened quietly as Jade told him all that happened at the spa, while he slowly drove them back to Tom's house. When she was done he turned to her, "You do realize that you don't act in line with your profession, right?" Jade scowled, "Being a lawyer doesn't make me less human or immune to anger. They were wrong and I had to make an example of them," Jade said defensively. "By hitting them? How many others have you assaulted like this because you lost your temper? It's a wonder you still have your…

"Say something, will you?" Harry urged her when Jade just stared at him without saying a word. "You realize you just told me you love me, right?" Jade asked, and Harry chuckled. "When has that ever been a secret?" Harry asked, and Jade shrugged. "It's not something you've said outrightly," Jade pointed out, and Harry considered her for a moment. "So do you want to hear me say it again?" He asked, and Jade bobbed her head. "I love you, esquire. And I will love you to have more confidence in yourself…

Although a part of Jade was still mad at Harry for threatening to end whatever they had if she showed up at his date with Aurora, she raced all the way from her bedroom down the stairs, and by the time she got to the foot of the stairs she was breathless. She paused at the foot of the stairs to catch her breath and compose herself before walking to the front door. As she walked from the door to meet Harry, who was waiting for her in his car, she reminded herself of everything her dad and mom had…

Once Jade returned from her outing with her mother, she went straight up to her bedroom to freshen up and relax before dinner, leaving her mother to chat with the others and catch up on the events of the day. As relaxing as the massage had been, she was exhausted from all the activities. They had gone out for lunch in a fancy restaurant together and did a bit of shopping after leaving the spa. After she had showered, she put on combat shorts with a tank top and settled on her bed with her journal and pen…

Sara was silent for some seconds as she tried to figure out why Harry could possibly be calling her. Did Aaron finally tell him about her? What about Lucy? Did she tell either Harry or Aaron about their discussion? What was going on? "Are you that surprised by my call?" Harry asked when she did not say anything after some time. He had called her not only to satisfy his curiosity and to put his plans in motion, but he had also called to catch her off guard and to take a peek at what was in her head. He…

Anita looked up when Bernice opened the bedroom door, and Bernice almost jumped back in surprise, "What are you doing here?" Bernice asked with a forced smile as she quickly tried to compose herself and brush away the tears on her face with her hand. "I was searching for you. Lisa needs a drink, and your housekeeper said you reserved some for her. Are you okay?" Anita said as she rose from the bed, trying to sound as normal as possible. "I'm fine. You can leave. I will bring Lisa's wine," Bernice said,…

"What show was Tiffany talking about?" Lisa asked Anita curiously after they sat at the other end of the table, away from Tiffany, who was busy on her phone. "Eric Howells invited mother and her daughters to his show," Anita explained since Tiffany had already let the cat out of the bag. "Am I not one of the daughters? Why am I just hearing of it now? Don't answer that. Let me guess; mother asked you not to tell me about it because she doesn't want me on the show?" Lisa asked, and Anita shrugged without…

"MIA!" Sonia screeched excitedly as she jumped out of the car quickly and went to embrace Mia. Mia laughed happily as she hugged her, "It's so good to see you again, Sonia! For a moment there, I really thought you two were over," Mia said when she pulled away to look at Sonia. "Same here! Thanks for kicking Bryan's ass. He told me you didn't take it easy on him," Sonia said, and Mia grinned as they looked at Bryan, who was getting out some food packs from the booth. They had been the last to leave the…
