Although it was very early on Saturday morning, Rebekah sat on her dining with her two oldest daughters having breakfast. She had called for a meeting with her daughters; Bernice, Tiffany, and Anita, so they could shop together and also discuss the coming talk show they had been invited to, as well as put heads together on how to assist Anita in getting Tom during the anniversary week. "What's taking Anita so long?" Tiffany asked as she glanced at her wristwatch. "Unlike us with maids, she lives alone…-

"What do you think?" Lucy asked some minutes later as she stood in front of Tom, dressed in a gorgeous ivory satin button-down long-sleeved blouse tucked into tailored beige trousers with a cinched high waist. Instead of packing her hair in a ponytail as usual she had combed it to the side and let it flow down her shoulders. She had also left the first three buttons of her blouse open to reveal the simple yet polished gold necklace that adorned her neck, which matched the earrings she was wearing. She…

Candace had been too exhausted both physically and emotionally to think about anything the previous night, but the first thought on her mind, when she woke up that morning, was the fact that she wasn't an orphan and she had a father and brother. A father and a twin brother, she thought with a half smile as she looked down at Jamal who was sound asleep on the bed beside her. She had not been able to tell Jamal about it yet, but she was going to tell him about it before they returned to the hospital. Even…

Sonia woke up in the middle of the night when she heard sounds like someone was moving around the bedroom. She sat up immediately and turned on the light. "Bryan..." She quickly got off the bed when she saw that it was Bryan who was walking around and packing his stuff. Bryan paused halfway through packing his bag and turned to look at her with blank eyes causing her to forget whatever she had wanted to say. Sonia stopped in front of him, "Were you going to leave without talking to me?" Sonia asked,…

Aaron and Harry spent over an hour talking about Candace and Jamal and trying to figure out the best way they could welcome them and make them not just feel like they were welcome but also make them know that they were family."I want to go home...""No. I'm not letting you do that," Harry cut in before Aaron could finish."Apart from the fact that I no longer have to worry about Sara showing up since the truth is in the open now, I have you and your sister. I feel much better...""Dad, I'm not letting you out…

Standing on the rooftop of the hospital, Jade scrolled through the internet for news on Bryan's fight, and she was able to find just one before it was taken down. Never had she been more impressed by Harry's efficiency than she was at that moment. There wasn't a single article on Bryan anymore. It was as if it had never been there. Deciding to find out what was going on with Bryan, she dialed his line. "What?" Bryan asked gruffly once he received her call. Jade frowned, "That is such a pleasant way to…

While Tom sat on the balcony making some quick phone calls, as he waited for Lucy to shower and joined him, Lucy sat on the toilet seat browsing through the internet for various subjects, which had her face flaming bright red as she looked at some pictures and even watched some videos. After some time, she got up and showered and then prepared herself for the night. Or better still, for Tom. Once she was done with everything, she lay down on the bed, "Ace?" She called softly, and immediately, Tom's head…

The car was silent during the first ten minutes of the drive. It seemed like even Jamal could sense Tom's anger and frustration, so he didn't utter a word. Lucy kept glancing at Tom at intervals as she wondered what she could say or do to help his mood. She understood better than anyone else how he was feeling and why he was feeling that way. She also knew this was not the time to talk to him. They had company in the car, and he wouldn't be able to express himself comfortably. Tom turned to spare her a…

"So, it's just the both of us again," Jade said as she hooked her arm with Harry's. Harry tried to pull away, but she held on, "What? You only know how to get me all flustered and bothered when we are alone?" She asked tauntingly, and Harry sighed as he let her hold on to him while they walked into the hospital. He tried not to pay attention to the curious stares they were receiving from the staff. Harry knew without a doubt that soon there would be gossips about him and Jade. "So?" Jade asked once they…

When Candace and Harry returned to Aaron's room, they met everyone laughing at something Jamal was demostrating, and a smile lit up Aaron's eyes when he saw them. "Jamal was just showing us the role he played in his school's play. He's a terrific actor," Aaron told them. "He once auditioned to be a Disney child actor. He wants to be an actor," Candace said, and Jamal shook his head. "Not anymore, mom. Now I want to be like Tom," Jamal announced, making them laugh while Candace looked at his with…
