"I love you, son".

"I also want to make a toast to my son and to all of us present here.

They clinked their glasses and toasted Mateo. Music played, and everyone danced.

Vivian couldn't wait to let Henry know about what was going on between Keren and Calvin. She brought Henry to where Keren and Calvin were dancing. At first, she stared at them like she didn't know what she was doing.

"Um, babe, you remember when I said there was something I wanted to say but I'd rather not be out there?

Henry was still lost; he still didn't know what was going on.

"Baby, Calvin, and my friend Keren got engaged.

She raised Karen's hand and showed it to Henry.

He gave a wide smile on his face as he scratched his beards.

He took hold of Keren's hand to look at the ring.

"Wow, I'm numb right now. This is shocking and wonderful. But Calvin, why didn't you tell me something was going on between you and Keren? How did you guys meet? He asked Calvin.

"We met at your wedding. And we just wanted it to be quiet,

    Mr. Greftan was admitted to the hospital and placed on bed rest by the doctor. He had a minor heart attack and the doctor warned that it might reoccur if Mr. Greftan wasn't resting well. Keren was still not at work, and Ethan couldn't find her document. He searched all his files but they were nowhere to be found. He was sure he left it in his office. He was worried about Keren but there was no way to reach her. It had been two weeks since the incident and Keren was not yet at work. He thought it was because they made out that was why she was shy about resuming and it broke him when he couldn't find her credentials so he could locate her house address. Worst of all, he didn't have her picture saved on his phone; the only picture he had of her was missing too, and he couldn't explain how Keren’s document mysteriously disappeared from his office. Ethan turned on the CCTV camera to see if Eli was the one who took Keren’s file but he didn't see anything out of the ordinary; all he could

    “Impressive!! This is by far the best project you have come up with; I cannot believe it! How did you get this idea?“You see, grandpa, I am not the bad egg after all; I have been breaking my back working on something that would make you and dad proud.“I cannot wait to show Ethan this project; I am sure he will be so proud of you.Eli collected the documents from his grandfather’s hand; he did it in such a way that it showed that he was disgusted with what his grandfather said.“What? What is wrong? Do you want to yank your hand off? Why did you collect your document like that? Did I say something wrong?"Yes, grandfather, you do not even trust me enough; I did all of this myself and now you want to show Ethan for approval.“I wasn't going to show him for approval; I just wanted him to know what you were working on; surely he would be so excited too. “Why do you always do this, grandpa? Do you need validation from Ethan before approving my project? You all complain that I don't do a

    “Irish! I thought you said she wouldn't be here!“I know Vivian, but Keren lives here; you both cannot be fighting forever; I need you both to settle your differences. “If not for the fact that we are sisters, I would have slapped you really hard! I do not have time for this nonsense! “But Vivian, Irish is right; you cannot be like this forever; you need to forgive me and let us move on.“You killed them! I will never forget that you made me a widow! I want nothing to do with you; excuse me, I am out of her.Vivian left the house, ignoring Irish and Keren, who were calling out her name. All the excitement on Keren’s face faded away. She fell to the couch and let out a loud sigh of relief. Irish sat beside her. They were both silent for a few minutes before Irish decided to break the silence.“You do not have to think too much about it; she will come around; she is still traumatised, and she told me she started therapy; she will come around soon."It has been years; I miss my best fri

    “Take me home. That was the last thing Ethan said before he was unconscious. Keren had to call for the help of the receptionist so they could carry Ethan to the car. By the time they got downstairs, the driver was already in his seat, waiting to move. They managed to put Ethan into the car, the receptionist went back to her work station and everyone was worried, wondering what was happening to their boss. They thought he fainted but the receptionist had to tell them that the boss was under a lot of stress and he needed rest. Ethan was in the back seat with Keren; he was sleeping deep. Keren couldn't get her eyes off him; she wished she could touch his hair so she could do that. Tears rolled down her face when she thought about her late fiance. She looked outside the window so no one would see her crying. Shortly after, they got to the mansion and Keren was left in amazement. She couldn't believe her eyes; she couldn't believe the edifice standing tall in front of her. When the driv

    Keren was so shy, she used to wish the ground would open and swallow her. Ethan was still fast asleep; he was oblivious that his grandfather was in the room. “You must be Keren, right?Keren tried to speak but she was stuttering and she struggled to compose herself."Yes, I am, sir.“Why is Ethan fast asleep by this time?“He is drunk, sir; he drank too much. “I see. Follow me.“Sir?“You heard me; follow me. Ethan’s grandfather left the room and Keren jumped off the bed and rushed to Ethan’s closet to wear something casual. She wore a white collar shirt and joggers. When she was done, she headed downstairs to meet Mr. Geftan. “Right on time, join me.Mr. Geftan poured Keren a glass of freshly pressed juice; he pressed it himself. It was a mixture of pineapple, watermelon and a little ginger. “This is so lovely, sir; I have never tasted a better fruit juice.“So tell me, what is it like working with Ethan?“I have no idea, sir. I only resumed today. I hoped I was going to have a bli
