Everyone has just woken up from a long nap as they are all having dinner at the table, Andrew pulls out a wad of cash and drops it on the table, throwing them all in surprise.

“Andrew, where did you get such money from?” Doreen asks, her eyes widened.

“If you stole it, take it back!” Thomas orders. “We might be poor, but we are not thieves.”

Andrew just laughs at their worries. “Oh, Dad and mum, you don't have to worry. Everything is fine, I didn't steal the money. It's part of the money that the army gave me for my retirement.”

Ruby sighs as she picks up the money. It's thousands of dollars, more than she has seen in a long time.

Andrew kisses her. “Use it and register Uma in a good school. I need our daughter to have a sound education.”

“Oh, Andrew, Uma is already in the nursery school down the road. It's not much, but at least we can afford it.” Ruby says.

“No, I want only the best for my daughter. She is our heir, why will she attend such a cheap school?”

    There is a secret that Henry Jackson has been holding in his heart for the past four years now. He met a woman. She wasn't anyone special, she was just someone he used to satisfy his sexual needs. He was never in love with her, he found it very hard to love anyone after his wife, the mother of James died. After the one night stand he had with the mystery lady, he paid her a hefty sum, he didn't want her to contact him, but she found his assistant's number and begged to speak to him. Turned out that she was pregnant. He wasn't interested in her child, he asked her to have an abortion, but she told him she was having twins. He thought it was crazy, but he accepted the pregnancy and took care of her bills, without anyone knowing. She gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and God, he cried when he saw the kids. He was very happy, but couldn't bring himself to tell James, or anyone. He kept it a secret and was looking for the right time to tell James. Unfortunately the time never ca

    When James was sixteen, he disturbed his father for months because he wanted his first tattoo and his father said no. He didn't give up, he did better in school, he cleaned up, he did everything so that his father gave him the chance to get a tattoo. Henry Jackson wasn't a fan of tattoos, in fact he hated them. They were tacky and he preferred a smart appearance for his son. He was going to take over his father's businesses someday, Henry didn't want him looking like a canvas with graffiti on it. But when James wasn't backing down, he decided to get one, but under the condition that he was going to pick the location. He picked the side, across the ribs and he did that because it was typically one of the most painful parts of the body to be tattooed. He did that because he wanted to discourage his son from getting any future tattoos. James took the pain like a champ and when he became older, he got several more. It's that same tattoo that he is staring at and he knows, without a d

    Everyone is shocked as their eyes follow Andrew to the front. The Sanchez family seems to be having a heart attack. They think that Andrew is walking to the front to disrupt the wedding. Mister Thomas rushes to the front, charging at Andrew, but before he gets to them, two soldiers restrain and tackle him to the ground.“You dare you?!” The angry soldier asks. “Oh, sir, was trying to clear the fool from disrupting the wedding. The anonymous partner is going to be here soon and I don't want him to encounter this nuisance.” Thomas says, shaking with fear. The scowl on the soldier's face grows even more. “THAT'S the anonymous partner, you fool! How dare you lay your hands on him?!” Thomas' jaw slacks even more. It's like a complicated math equation, because he can't understand the words that just came out of the soldier's mouth. Andrew is the anonymous partner?! And the overlord? The greatest commander of the army?! Is this a prank?! Is this a joke? Well, if this is a joke, it's

    It's been five days and Henry has not heard from his son, James. It's normal for James to just give himself a sudden vacation and organize on orgy on one of those exotic islands, but the usual thing is that he never called his father. His father has tried to get people to track his son down to the last location and his phone, but it doesn't sum up to anything useful. It's like his son has disappeared into the thin air. He is on the phone again, looking out of the window of his office. “Are you trying to tell me that you can't help me find my son?” “Sir, it would have been easy to track him with his phone, but we have not been able to see any sign of him.” “So, what are you saying?” “I hate to say this, sir, but I think that maybe your son doesn't want to be found.” “That's absurd. James wants nothing more than to be my heir. He would never run away like this. Something is wrong.” Henry insists with a sad tone. “But sir–” “I won't be taking no for an answer. Do your research a

    On the day that Jasper is buried, the sky is gray and there is a heavy pour down. That doesn't stop the family, friends, and loved ones to come and pay their last respect to Jasper Banks. His coffin is white with golden rims. There are so many flowers and even their bright colors are not enough to lift the depression that is everyone's heart. There are over two hundred people there and that's because there are security guards around to keep the occasion strictly based on invitation. Everyone else is across the street, watching with sorrow. The minister is soaked to his bones. His Bible is drenched with praise, but that doesn't stop him from raising his voice high and declaring that Jasper is now in heaven. Everyone is quiet. Jasper's parents are standing right in front of the coffin and their calmness and dried eyes tells that they have not recovered from the shock of the death of their son. Occasionally, a voice breaks into loud sobs and stops, only to repeat. It's Adriana. She
