That night felt like no other. As Laura drove though the street, I kept thinking what could possibly go wrong. My mind was heavy with his own thoughts while the suit I wore did nothing to calm me down. After a drive of about one hour, Laura parked in front of the Mac Donald's gate one more time. She looked at me and smiled, " I know you are scared but this is it, Mr Dan. This where you show your enemies you are taking the fight to them." I gulped down the thick phlegm at the back of my throat. It been a while I had seen the Sinclair's. I mean, Linda and her husband. I was sure they were eager to see me groveling at their feet. A satisfaction I was not going to give them. "C'mon. Let's do this." I said straightening my tie. Linda laughed. " That is what I am talking about." she said jumping out of the car. I waited for a bit. Took my time to inhale and exhale before she opened the door. I got out to see the Donald's mansion designed like a king's palace. Red car

Dac walked closer as the reporters made way. I could tell what he was about to say the moment he got closer. His gaze darted towards Laura, " You know, it would have been nice working for a man like me. I still don't know why you decided to stick with a nobody. Do you think he can give you the life you deserve even after you marry him?" The light shuttered making me even more pissed. Angry. I didn't plan for any of this. I clenched my hands tightly. " Think, Laura. The Sinclair's threw him out because he was garbage and also the Donald's don't think he is one of us.ac Donald must have been mistaken. There is no way someone like him could be a family." The moment he repeated those words, Dac won yet again. The camera man and woman shifted their attention away from me to him. " Why would you say something like that?" " This will be your second time calling Mr Daniel a bastard. When the lateac Donald was alive, he acknowledged him." Dac smiled and walked closer

The man walked in and I could tell he was loaded with the little will that was going to either change dthr fate of the Donald's family or shatter it. He walks over to a corner and take his sit. The room felt like a grave yard. Each one of us reading into the man's face like it meant goodwill. " Are you nervous?" Laura asked " Nervous? I am scared to death." I mouthed to her. " Good day everyone." the man said adjusting his glasses. [ Chorused Answer ]We all greeted immediately. " We know why we are gathered here today, don't we?" he asked again. " Can you stop with the formalities and get on with it will you?" Dac said angrily The lawyer cleared his throat not minding Dac's words. " I have the will in written format and also it could be played if you all wish for it." he said looking around. Still, none of us said a word. Probably we were to scared to face reality of the will left behind. " Since we are not ready to choose, I will be choosing on your behalves." He final

" Oh my god!" The voice screamed. " Do I know you?" I asked with my eyebrows arched. My gaze darted back to Laura who was showing that jealous face again. "Janet?" I said slowly, "Janet Henderson?" The lady hugged me tightly. I stared at her from head to toe and I could barely believe it was her. We were friend back then at school. I had always helped with her arithmetics and do most of her chores. In return, she gives me money. Lots of them. " What are you doing here?" I asked, my hand drawing her closer to me " I should ask you that, Daniel." She replied. Janet's gaze landed on Laura and she immediately thrust her hands out to greet her. " Are you married?" she asked " Married? Yes. Divorced, Yes. It is a long story." I said smiling " I am down to listen to every last one of them if you are." she said immediately. I looked at Laura who was standing by the car and staring at us. I looked at Janet who was still smiling. " You mean right now?"

The gentle whispers of the birds woke me up. My eyes darted around and I jumped up the moment I saw I was not in a familiar surrounding. I looked under the dulve and I saw I was wearing just my short. The door opened slowly, a young girl with a tray in her hand walked in. " Who are you? No, where the hell am I?" I asked with my eyebrows arched. " She brought you home sir. I mean, Miss Janet." she replied placing the food tray in front of me. I looked at her and nodded. " Thank you." I whispered between my breath. My head banged from the alcohol I took yesterday. I tried to remember what really happened but I couldn't. I only remembered falling off into her hands. The hang over soup smelt bitter as I gulped the content down my throat. I stared around and I could see the room lived you to it taste. It was femininely designed and the furnitures screamed wealth. My phone rang again. Tapping the screen, I saw it was the twentieth missed call from Laura. I k
