Once Jace closed the doors of the living room behind him, he was faced with his mother-in-law who wore a devilish face. At first, he wasn't moved because he knew that was the kind of face she kept toward him whenever they were both in the same room. Now that he had become a rich man, he wouldn't permit himself to be insulted, he was also not going to disrespect his mother-in-law."Good afternoon, mother," Jace said softly after noticing Mrs. Elizabeth's face was getting more red. For some seconds she said nothing. Her gaze was still plastered on him like a piece of trash.On usual days when she refused to respond to his salutations, he will further insist by saluting her again till she shoves him away. Today was different, he wasn't doing that. He rather lowered his head and started walking towards the kitchen."And where do you think you are going, you this dependent fool?" Mrs. Elizabeth raised her voice at him. This caused him to halt in his steps as he turned and gazed back at his

It was 5 pm on the dot when Amelia stepped out of her room. She was wearing a black skirt suit with a former business blouse, black pantyhose, and close-toed leather heels. A pink ribbon was loosely tied on her neck and her curled hairs were bundled together. That said, she exhaled and started walking towards the exit door."You wore the best clothes you had in your wardrobe just to go sign a contract? Well, you better enjoy it now that you have the possibility to do so, I don't think it going to last for long." Elsy stood in her way, blocking the door. She was holding a bottle of wine in her hands and she sounded tipsy.Amelia played deaf ears and continued walking till she was finally in front of her, "Can you liberate the way? I'm already late for this meeting." She said glaring at her Rolex wristwatch."I know what you and your stupid husband did. You paid the CEO, right? Or better still, you had a one-night stand with him." Elsy said before sipping from the bottle she had in hand.

The night was promising as it was just about to start. It was the mayor's birthday and it was a day which needed not to be forgotten.Elsy, Adora and her friend were all dressed and were seated in the living room, hoping to share a bottle of wine before zooming off for the birthday. This was their ever first invitation to the mayor's birthday.The two maids were all occupied as they were helping Mrs. Elizabeth and Granny Modella with their clothes. As lazy as they were, they had their butts tucked on the chair and waited for one of them to get done before serving them.They were actually not going to wait for a longer period as they saw who was going to replace the maid. Adora called Jace who was busily walking to the dining table."It's good you are here, Jace. Quickly get us a bottle of wine with three glasses." Adora stated while paying full attention to the mirror in front of her. She was checking if her clothes were up to standard, given that so many big personalities were going

"Excuse me, Sirs." Jace bowed his head and quickly dismissed himself. Fear stroke down every damn corner of his body. He walked till the end of the hall where all the controllers could not have access to him. He looked in the direction where his father was and they did eye contact. He brought his hands together and started begging his father in distance. This plead was for him not to reveal to Mayor Lamenz that he was his son.His father kept a contorted face but there was nothing he could do. He just changed his direction and served himself another drink.Once this problem was solved, his heart got back to normal. There was something that caught his attention. They were three reporters who were interviewing a man and a lady. He couldn't see their faces as they were in his back.What got intriguing was when he had access to the lady's gown. Those were the same clothes Amelia wore. To confirm his suspicion, he went a little bit ahead, and boom it was Amelia and Daryl who were holding

Jace was panicking in his trousers when he heard that question. He had no idea Amelia was in the bathroom when he harshly commanded through the phone.She was still cold towards him concerning the mayor's birthday, and how he deliberately turned himself into a waiter."I-I…." He stammered one more time."Will you just stop stammering and tell me who you were yelling to a while ago?" She straightened her back before yelling."I was just asking the doctor to take good care of Madam Gouvan. You know she has really helped me." Jace said immediately.That was the first idea that popped into his head, and without thinking if there was going to be a side effect, he bombarded.After sighing, she patted her lips before declaring, "You should have done that using a low tune. Remember, you have no money with you, so you should be begging him and not the contrary." She said."Yes, you are right. I think the idea of losing her scares me." He said slowly."Better," She halted before continuing, "No
