THORNTON INVESTMENT**
“Love, could you sign these documents? We’ll be needing it for the exportation of the company’s tech” Valentina said, walking to Ricardo’s desk.
“Yeah sure” Ricardo replied and took it then began going through it.
Valentina went to the coffee brewer and then brewed him his coffee. Once she was done, she placed it on his desk.
Ricardo signed the documents and gave it back to her which she collected.
“Love?” Ricardo called, making Valentina turn to him.
Ricardo smiled and gestured for Valentina to come sit on him. She slowly walked to him and then settled on his thigh.
“What’s up?” Valentina asked.
“Well I’ve been thinking lately and since today is the first day of December, why don’t we go on a double vacation.” Ricardo asked.
“Double vacation?”
“Yeah, you me and Logan with Kristina. You know to celebrate Christmas and New Year” Ricardo said.
“That sounds great but what of Myles and Minnie?” Valentina asked.
“They’ll simply stay with my parents, it’s just for two weeks so no need to worry” Ricardo said..
“Alright” Valentina smiled.
“So where shall we go?” Ricardo smiled.
Valentina began thinking really hard. It took her about two minutes think before she finally decided.
“Canada” Valentina smiled.
“Alright, since it’s an idea that I and Logan came up with I’ll ask his opinion and if he’s okay with Canada then that’s it” Ricardo smiled.
Valentina suddenly stayed quiet for a while, just staring at him…
“Why are you going at all these length just because of me. I don’t want it to look like I’m a gold digger” Valentina blurted out her thought.
Ricardo looked at her for a while before smiling…
“I told you that I’ll spoil you and treat you like the queen which you are right? Well this is just my way of showing how much I cherish you.. But if you don’t feel comfortable just let me know and I’ll stop it” Ricardo said.
Valentina shook her head and hugged him with a smile playing on her lips.
“Thanks for loving me Rick, even though I don’t know what good I can offer to you” Valentina said.
“Your love is enough for me” Ricardo smiled and rubbed her back…
They broke the hug and Valentina smiled at him before kssing him…

L-DESIGNS**
“So you’re saying these are the collection for this season?” Logan said, checking out the various designs.
The designers and stylists nodded, hoping he’ll love it. Logan looked at it with a scrutinizing gaze.
“Well all of them seem good to me but this one, I think it need some little touches here and there…” Logan pointed at the dress, showing them where to modify.
“Alright boss” The designer said and they all left…
He turned and looked at the studio where Kristina is been photographed. Kristina looked at him and smiled, he morrowed back her smile too.
Suddenly his phone began ringing. He brought it out and furrowed his brows when he saw the caller’s ID.
“Yeah?”
“Mr Daniels, the lady you asked me to track down has been located” A man said, sitting in his car while looking at Maude who was playing with her little daughter.
“Okay, send me the location. I’m on my way” Logan said, walking to the exit.
He hung up and rushed to the exit while bringing out his car keys from his pocket.
Logan got to the parking lot and then opened his car before entering, zooming off to the location which was sent to him..
He arrived at the location not to long after and as expected, the detective he hired was standing by the road side waiting for him.
Logan got down the car and walked to the detective.
“Ray?” Logan said, coming to him.
“Boss, there’s the house of the lady. She lived in there with a kid I think it’s her daughter and also with her grandmother” Ray said.
“Okay, I’ll take it from here” Logan said and walked to the house.
The house was small in size and antique. He knocked on the door.
“Coming!!” A girl’s voice was heard.
The door opened revealing a little cute girl with big adorable eyes.
“Good morning Sir” She said cutely.
“Morning baby, can I see your mother?” Logan said.
The girl left the door opened and went to look for Maude.
“Mom, here’s the man…” The girl said, pulling Maude who was carrying a bowl of water.
Maude immediately froze when she saw who it was. She was so shocked that the bowl she had in her hand fell on the floor
“S…Sir…”

SUNSHINE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL**
The classes were over the for the kids. Myles could be seen sitting on the stairs while frowning for who knows what while Minnie was busy playing with her friends.
“Bye Leslie” Owen said when his parents came to pick him up.
“Bye Owen” Leslie waved back.
Leslie walked and then sat down beside Myles before at him. Myles simply looked at her and looked back front.
“What’s wrong?” Leslie asked.
“Nothing. Ever since that Owen guy came to our school you only spend time with him and thats not fair” Myles pouted and frowned..
Leslie looked at him with a look of surprise in her face. She blinked twice and then looked at it him again.
“Wait,, don’t tell me you’re jealous?” Leslie said, amused.
“What?! No!!” Myles snapped.
“Oh yes you are…you’re jealous” Leslie laughed.
That made Myles to look away while frowning. Leslie laughed for like two minutes before stopping.
“Okay, for your information Owen is my cousin. So stop being like that, you look like your dad when he want to fire someone. He’ll be like ‘you’re fired'” Leslie said, mimicking Ricardo’s cold facial expression and voice.
Myles couldn’t help but laugh at that..
“That’s better. Come on let’s go play” Leslie pulled him to to the slide.

“So that’s really what happened. Mr Logan, I’m sorry I never wanted to do what I did” Maude cried while pleading.
Logan just bent his head down in anger. Maude just told him all that really happened. He wasn’t even angry that he was drugged, nor was he angry that Maude betrayed him. He was instead furious against that wtch who calls herself Jade.
“How dares she threaten someone with her child. Doesn’t she have any human sympathy? All that because of a st*pid obsession” Logan said angrily.
Yes, he knows that Jade is into him but he played the blind guy but this has too far.
Logan took deep breaths trying to calm himself down. He looked at Maude who was still crying her eyes out.
Logan brought out some cash he had with him and then handed it to Maude.
“Here, you can look for some job to settle down with and also for your house expenses. Just consider this as your salary” Logan said.
Maude looked at the money and then at Logan. She slowly collected it from him.
“Thanks so much sir. I’ll repay you this one day I promise” Maude said.
“No need” Logan said and stood up.
“Bye Maude, take Care of your daughter and grandma. Bye little one” Logan waved at the little girl and looked at Maude then smiled.
“It’s not your fault so I forgive you. You had to do it for your daughter” Logan said
“See you around” He said and found his way, out of the house.
He got out of the house and was welcomed with the cool breeze.
“Jade, I’ll deal with you tomorrow. For now, have something important to attend to” Logan said and entered his car then drove off.

RITA CARES**
“How does it feels? Being beaten up in return?” Xander’s mother mocked at Xander.
Well he passed out last night and the person he actually called was his mother who called his uncle.
He was found and then taken to this hospital. His mother quickly traveled to where they were and when she saw his situation, she couldn’t help but laugh…
“That’s not funny mom” Xander yelled.
“You dare yell at your mother? When you’re barely sitting” Xander’s mother laughed at him.
“That serves you right. I need to know who did this to you for he deserves an award from me” Xander’s mother smirked.
His state was really pitiful. His right arm was plastered, same as his left leg with his neck. Let’s not talk about his disfigured face.
Xander’s mother brought out her phone and began taking pictures of him.
“I news to show this to your father. I’m not the only one who’s supposed to laugh.” She said
Xander just looked away in anger.
“Dmn you Gavin”

NIGHT, THE WHITE HOUSE**
Gavin sneaked into his room and turned on the lights of his room. Luckily Kimberly was not there.
He removed his cross bag with his school pullover and kept it on his bed before removing his shirt.
He suddenly felt hungry so he decided to go downstairs to see if he could get something to eat.
“Mac and cheese” Gavin smiled and took it.
“Is this the time you’re closing? 9PM?” A voice said behind him.
“I’m doomed” Gavin said inwardly and slowly turned to see it was his mother, Harlin..
“Mom, good evening.” Gavin smiled..
“I asked you a question” She said, coming closer.
Gavin sighed and placed his plate back then faced his mother.
“I’m sorry mom, wanted to see someone off” Gavin said.
“But you could have at least informed me that you’ll stay late, at least I won’t be here worrying about you” Harlin said.
“Sorry mom” Gavin pouted.
Harlin sighed and looked to her right…
“I’ve been noticing you with this particular girl. Who’s she?” Harlin asked
“She’s Iris” Gavin answered, not liking where the conversation is heading to.
“I think you didnt get my question well. Who’s she to you?” Harlin asked.
“Mom, let’s not talk about that…” Gavin sighed.
“You love her right?” Harlin asked.
“Yes, so what if I do?” Gavin said.
“You know very well you can’t. You’ll only hurt her in the end” Harlin said.
Gavin sighed and began leaving the kitchen
“Please mom, I don’t want to talk about it…”
“You don’t want to talk about it? Or you don’t want you to acknowledge the fact that you are betrothed to someone” Harlin blurted out.
Gavin stopped on his tracks. He stood there for a while before leaving…
