By now, it was already night. Several hours had passed. Yet the lights in Chay's study remained off.He was sitting on the desk just staring into the darkness. He had been sitting there since Ethan left.Hours had passed, but Chay had barely moved.The records were still on his desk. He placed his hand on it. Ethan left which was hours ago. He sat there alone in the dark staring into blank dark space as his mind raced with several possibilities. John Whitney could be connected to his parents' death? Could they have actually died without a cause just like he has been told all his life? Could their deaths have been planned? He wondered. Several questions went through his mind. Earlier, Corey left with an assignment while Chay concluded his meeting with Ethan. He could not concentrate fully no matter how much he tried. Then the door opened.‘John Whitney.’Could he man have had something to do with his parents' deaths?Chay had believed something different. He had accepted i

Chay’s brows furrowed deeply.His head tilted and he sat upright. “Come in,” he immediately ordered. Without hesitation, Corey walked in with some documents in his hands. “It’s on the reports from the station, boss,” he said and paused, glancing at Ethan. “Can I go ahead sir?”Chay glanced at Ethan and turned to Corey, nodding, “Go ahead.” “I was going through the reports on the investigation from the officers and I found something suspicious,” Corey began as he walked towards Chay.“…something unsettling. You need to see it boss,” he said and placed the papers on the table one after another.Chay’s brows furrowed as he took one of the papers and studied it. At the first glance, he couldn’t find what Corey was talking about. It was filled with transaction records, old documents that had surfaced while authorities were examining the Whitneys' financial dealings and the network of people connected to them.Chay didn’t understand what exactly was suspicious or unsettling about this.

Ethan was waiting in their third living room when Chay found him upstairs.That specific living room was one of the most quiet areas of the house, and Chay specifically asked his worker to lead Ethan there. It was also a favourite meeting spot whenever Chay wanted to discuss business away from the seriousness of his normal study room.Ethan had a glass of white wine in front of him z The moment he saw him approaching, he rose to his feet.“Good morning, sir.”Chay gave him a look.“Ethan,” he shook his head, “how many times have I told you that you don't need to stand up every time I walk into a room?”Ethan smiled faintly. “And how many times have I told you that old habits are difficult to break?”“Apparently, you're determined to make a career out of them.”“Someone has to maintain standards around here,” Ethan replied and smiled. Chay shook his head, amused.They exchanged brief pleasantries before Chay gestured toward the staircase leading to his private study.“Come. Let's go

Because I'm so happy!”“Aww, Mimi,” Chay said and laughed lightly, relief washing over his face. Earlier, he was worried for a second. He didn’t want his baby crying. Only happy years were allowed in the Morgan mansion. Mimi smiled back and inhaled deeply before going to check the rest of the clothes Chay had bought for her. She admired the dresses, gasped at a beautiful outfit, opened a drawer, shut it, and opened it again as though the contents might have changed in the last two seconds.“Daddy, look at this one!”He looked.“And this!”He looked again.“Wait, wait, THIS ONE!”“I see it, Mimi.”“You haven't even seen the back!”He walked over to inspect the back.She nodded with satisfaction. “Now you've seen it.”“Thank you for the privilege.”Mimi laughed. “You’re just like me…” She was right. She was just as witty as Chay when he wanted to be. Chay then stayed with her as she moved from one section to another, her face bright with delight, and he couldn’t help but feel a

“BOOKS!”Mimi ran towards the shelf while Chay stood and watched her, “Mimi,” he called her but she was already distracted by the towering white shelf. Chay made sure the shelf was made in a way that she could easily reach her books herself. Chay watched Mimi as she ran toward the towering white bookshelf. There were several titles he knew she loved, along with new ones he had asked Corey to find based on her interests.The lower shelves had been left partly empty.For her own books.Mimi touched the outer part with her fingers while reading the titles aloud under her breath She pulled out one book, examined the cover, returned it carefully, then spotted another she had been wanting to read for months.“No way!”She turned around so quickly that Chay almost laughed again.“You got this one! It has been out of stock everywhere!”“Anything for you baby.”She clutched the book to her chest. “Oh my God, this is literally a miracle!”Chay just folded his arms, watching her with quiet

Several weeks later… “Having reviewed the evidence presented before this court, including the DNA results confirming Mr. Chay Morgan’s biological relationship with the minor, Mimi Whitney….”“..the circumstances surrounding the child’s upbringing, and the parties’ respective capacities to provide a safe and stable environment, this court hereby grants Mr. Chay Morgan sole legal and physical custody of Mimi… Morgan.”“All decisions concerning the child’s care, education, health, and general welfare shall henceforth rest with him, subject to any future order of this court.”The judge’s words had been clear yesterday. So clear and as his words escaped his mouth, Chay’s lips stretched wider into a smile that reached his eyes and ears. A gentle wave of relief washed over him and his heart swam gently with genuine, subtle but deep happiness. For some reason, Claire, who had also joined the final hearing virtually, smiled when the judgement was pronounced. She swallowed and tried to hid
