Chapter 105: Chapter 105

Tony have to look for strategies to get what he wants and to play the game very well.

Craig is resting his head on the desk when Gregory enter his office. Craig, what was that for?

It's all your fault, if you didn't keep stopping me, that idiot of Roe will not have appeared before I tells her, my intention.

Craig, things are not done that way, you want to run away with her and now, Whitney felt I don't love her, that is the reason, I don't want to eloped with her.

You want to stay but me, I don't want to. Craig said in anger, Gregory hugged him to calm him. First, let her know you intention. He gasped for air, I wish it's easy, I always get scared when I want to tell her my feelings.

It's fine, let's get back to work, we will discuss that later.

Craig and Gregory goes back to their site, Roe is boiling, he just can't hold it anymore.

Catherine, did my mom not tell you, she doesn't want you near Craig?

Roe, if your family have issues with him, that doesn't mean I will have issues with him.

Catherine!

Let me be. She leaves Roe behind, she goes into the mansion, Roe is coming behind. Good evening sir! She greet Roland who is in front of the door when she enter. Welcome!

She nodded, Roe enter, he didn't greet him, Roland smile, this son of his, can be a rascal at times.

Eve is at the dinning when Tony enter the mansion, Zoe and Jane are also there. Welcome sir!

Paula greet him, he didn't reply as usual, he head to the dinning, Eve look at him and continue eating.

Eve! Tony called her, that excitement of seeing him, is not there. Welcome!

Saying that, she wipe her mouth and is heading to the door.

Are you not happy to see me? Tony speak, she looks behind and then at Tony, she fake a smile.

Please, uncle Tony, now that you are here, I beg you, don't hurt uncle Craig again. Eve and Craig has become more closer since Cathy left, she saw the pain Craig went through, saying that she dart to her room. Eve!

She didn't answer him. Whoa! Is this little Eve?

Jane and Zoe laughed at him. You don't know, she is a spoil brat now, all thanks to Gregory and Craig that always refused to spank her when she gets out of hand.

Jane speak, she too wipe her lips and left, Tony sit to eat, Zoe look at him.

Why are you looking at me? Do you hate me like your fiance? Zoe ogle at him all confused. Nevermind, I don't intend to make anything that link to Craig my friend but tell him to stay away from Cathy. Tony's words left an hole in her heart, the silent at the dining after his last word, was like that of a funeral parlor.

Casper and Whitney arrived home, Whitney sulk through the drive, Casper didn't say a word to him.

When they both enter the mansion, the door is open.

Casper, did the workers leave the door...

Surprised! Mrs Cole said. Oh my God! Casper run into her hands. Mom, you didn't tell me, you were coming.

Yes, I have this handsome boy to ride me home, so why should I call you? She is pointing to George, who pick her from the airport, Whitney also hugged Mrs Cole, she likes the woman, is just that her fate lies with someone else, they live like one big family

Don't mind him, he is acting like people can't exist without him. Whitney said, she smiled, George had noticed she is sad when they enter, his sight and that of Mrs Cole as change her mood.

My daughter, I really missed you. I missed you too Mom, let me get you what to eat.

Don't worry, George has prepared something really nice for me, you know, he knows how to cook sweet food unlike this Casper of a son.

Mrs Cole said, Whitney laughed and hugged George.

Baby, are you fine? He asked Whitney, she nodded. What about Cathy? He asked again, Whitney smile. Who is Cathy? Mrs Cole asked him, his worried face, made her asked and Casper also want to know the relationship between the three.

Someone special. That is the only words; he turned to Whitney. Can you please, make arrangements for us to have lunch together.

Fine, I will try but not tomorrow. George frown. I got to go Mrs Cole, I will come visit maybe, I will bring your friend, so you two can chitchat.

Thanks son! George dart out, Mrs Cole pull her son's hand. You should marry this girl fast, so that I could always have George around. Casper smile.

He sit on the bed, Eve look at him. You are sad, did anyone hurt you, is uncle Tony, the cause of it? He is here, will you be fine with it?

Craig run his hand on her head. Is aunty beauty not talking to you again? Did you asked her to be your girlfriend? Craig look at her in surprised. Yes, you are hurt because the one person you love, is not letting you love her back, Eugene said, it's painful to love someone that doesn't know how you feel about her.

I am sad because you are keeping secrets from me.

Secrets?

Yes, you refused to tell me about Eugene. Eve look at him. Uncle, why are you cunning?

Stop talking about me, tell me about him. Eve smile and pushed his head, Craig doesn't really mind, when he is with Eve, is like he is with Cathy.

Fine, Eugene is in senior high school, he is my friend.

Your boyfriend? Craig asked her

No way, I am too small for that. Better, if not you know Gregory will kill you. I know, we are just friends, he is a basketball player,, his mother is dead, he lives with his dad and step mother, his stepmother is very wicked, she even makes his dad treat him bad

The boy is very intelligent and...

Handsome? Craig asked, Eve laughed loud and facepalm herself. That is not what I want to say, I wanted to say kind, so I share my meals with him.

Craig smile, he run his hand on her hair, fate is playing a fast one on all of them, he felt their life must be entangled to each other
