She didn't know about Candace, but she was curious to know what Jero might have left her. Was it money? Documents to some secret property? Or maybe details of a trust fund account for Jamal? "He will find you when everything is settled and deliver the package," Jero managed weakly, and it seemed like the more he spoke the weaker he became. "Don't you think you should give us a clue as to what to expect in this package? What if Bill tampers with it?" Jade asked, wanting to…-

"Yes. They were four. Two amongst them are dead. They were gunned down while trying to escape. One is in the hospital, and the last one is in our custody," the person on the other end of the phone informed her, and Jade's breath came in a whoosh of relief. "That's great. I'm so glad this is almost over," Jade said happily as she let herself collapse on the bed. Now she didn't have to worry about anything or keep looking over her shoulders. "It's not over. Don't let your guard…

Lucy sighed as she picked up her cup of chocolate. She sipped from it before meeting his gaze, "I understand what you mean. But I think she really likes you," Lucy said, but Lucas shook his head. "It doesn't matter, Lu. I don't have to be friends with everyone that likes me, do I? I'm just trying to look out for myself right now. My mental health is at stake here. She is ill. You may not fully understand the extent of her illness yet, but as a medical doctor I know how bad her…

"Is there a problem?" Tom asked, and Lucy bit her lower lip. "I just remembered Lucas," she said, reminding Tom that Lucas was around and she was supposed to see him. "Oh! It escaped my mind too. I'm sorry," Tom said, not knowing what else to say. They had just assured Harry and Aaron that they were coming over, so he didn't know what to say. "It's not your fault. I shouldn't have forgotten," Lucy said with a slight frown, wondering how she could have so easily…

He stood by the door and watched as she patted Jamal's hair distractedly, but she didn't really seem like she was paying attention to the soap opera. She looked more like she had a lot on her mind. "Care to share what you are thinking about?" Tom asked, startling Lucy who turned in his direction, and she smiled at him. "Random thoughts. Let's get Jamal to bed. You need to get out of those clothes," Lucy said as Tom approached her. Without saying a word, he lifted…

"Why are you with your luggage? Did you have a fight with Adam?" Tiffany asked as she took Bernice's hand and led her to the living room while the housekeeper took Bernice's luggage to the guestroom. "Can I get a glass of water?" Bernice asked as she sat down. "Sure," Tiffany said before calling out to one of the housekeepers to get her a glass of water. "What's going on?" Tiffany asked once again but Bernice didn't say a word until the housekeeper brought the…

After having his dinner, Harry kept himself busy by watching some shows on the television so he wouldn't worry about his father or be tempted to go pick up his phone and find out who that Sara lady was and what she wanted from his father. Trying to distract himself from that line of thought, his thoughts drifted to Jade and he glanced at the wall clock. The time was past nine already, so he knew that she must have met Aurora by now, and Aurora would have delivered his message to her, so why hadn't she…

"I never knew you to be this sarcastic," Jade said, and Candace shrugged. "I guess it's safe to say it got past you," Candace said with a straight face, and Jade laughed softly. "So? What's the big plan?" Candace asked once again. "I haven't come up with any yet. I just might sabotage their date," Jade said with a shrug. "Just how many dates do you plan on sabotaging? I don't see your spa friend giving up just because of a few hiccups in their date…

Tom received the phone from Jamal, "Hello, This is Tom," He said politely, since it was the first time he was speaking with Candace since he read her letter. Candace cleared her throat, "Thanks for looking after Jamal. He says he's happy, and you are both having dinner with him," Candace said with gratitude. "You're welcome," Tom said as he looked at the kid who was sitting beside him and looking at him curiously. She cleared her throat again, "I also want to…
