At the Whites residence
A black Bentley approaches the majestic compound and in it comes out Alfred White but what he does not know is that in a corner next to the house is his mother watching him, so he walks towards the house to get himself comfortable.
Jasleen: Well you took your time son.
Alfred : Mom! you startled me.What are you even doing behind the flower pots?
Jasleen: I thought you had seen me already so I did not think that I would disorganise your heartbeat.
Alfred: Well guess what mom, you almost got me laid in my casket due to pressure.
Jasleen; Stop making a mountain out of a mole son.
Alfred: Ok mom, am hungry hope you kept me some food .
Jasleen: I didn't think to do so because I thought since you had delayed in your meeting, then perhaps you had already eaten food.
Alfred; Mom, not even left overs!
Jasleen: Get to the kitchen and make yourself a chicken pizza and top it up with a glass of orange juice.
Alfred: Mom! do you perhaps maybe have another son?
Jasleen: Why ?
Alfred: Because it seems you do not care for me anymore.
Jasleen: Ok, let us got to the kitchen first and prepare you any food of your choice but that is healthy and then we can talk.
Alfred: And who says I want to talk to you mum?
Jasleen: Let us just say I know you too well to tell that today, you seem exceptionally excited and in a good mood.
Alfred; Oh,okay. But still mom ,food first then we see what next. By the way mom, where is dad?
Jasleen: Oh, he is in the library assessing the trends of the HL group of Companies.
Alfred: Oh let me greet him first and let him know that I have arrived safely.
Jasleen: Go see him and then meet me in the kitchen so we prepare some mouth watering meal .
Alfred: Ok ,mom.
Alfred heads up stairs to the second floor of the house on the left side is where the library is located, a big room filled out with shelves filled up of books organized in alphabetical order ranging from business books to novels as Mr. White likes to keep himself busy with reading romance novels to spice up his love life.
In the Library
Alfred: Hello dad , did I interrupt something?
Mac White: Uhhh no, not really why?
Alfred: Because I noticed once I entered the room you hid away the book you were reading.
Mac White; It is nothing serious son, ignore it.
Alfred extends closer to see what his father has been reading maybe he can also get some inspiration.
Mac White: What is it , why are you coming closer?
Alfred White: Nothing, just want to see what interests you more than business.
Mac White: Ok ,look it is just a romance novel I am reading that is it.
A loud laugh is heard in the library from Alfred as he can not understand his parents sometimes, one is always looking humble and serious and the other is protective and funny , what a great couple they make.(This is his thought that is even making him even laugh louder)
Mac White: Keep it down son, I would not want your mother coming to ask what the problem is and we start talking about a romance novel not the business trends.
Alfred White: Dad, you make me feel like you skipped some stage, but whatever, I love you regardless.
Mac White smiles as just this same day it seemed like everyone was angry but now seeing his son happy makes him want to live in this moment forever .
Mac White: So have you eaten?
Alfred: No, and yes ,mom is waiting for me so we prepare my dinner so let me go make myself something to eat and then I have to discuss with you something very important Later that is if you are free of course.
Mac White: Oh, sure son.
Alfred White: perfect. I am out ,peace.
Alfred heads to the marble kitchen to find his mom cooking Cantonese rice noodles with egg gravy and Chinese barbecue pork steamed buns.
Alfred White: Mom, I missed your cooking, mmmmmm you are making me fail to control my drool.
Mom: hahhhaaaa , as if you did not taste my cooking on your arrival here.
Alfred: Still , my mom is the best chef I know in this world.
Mom; Ohhhh,you, I know that is hunger speaking son.
Alfred: What exactly am I to help you with.
Mom: Set the dining table so I serve you with my beautiful dishes.
Alfred: Sure thing , I will be done in no time .
Alfred set the table and food is served and he eats to his fill ,he then appreciates his mom for the sumptuous meal given to him and he invites his father over to discuss the important matter he wanted to let them know about.
Alfred: Mom and dad now that you are here I need to tell both of you good news.
Mom: Yes, go ahead.
Dad: What about exactly?
Alfred: Well , do you know that I have got just the right solution to end this madness about my arranged marriage.
Dad: What is it ?
See for yourself dad and mom Alfred says , and a video is played where both parents keep their eyes glued as well as photos are seen of Diana kissing a stranger in the club.
Dad: What do you intend to do with this ?
Mom: Exactly!
Alfred: I am going to give this evidence to the media through my friend Daniel and get him to expose these pictures online and put on a really dirty title like " DIANA , THE DAUGHTER TO THE REKNOWN BILLIONARE SANTANA LANDS IS A PROSTITUTE!" .How do you see ?
Mom: I like it already.
Dad: Are you trying to make her look like a prostitute so you can build on this to claim you can not marry a mannerless woman?
Alfred: Exactly.
Dad: Don't you think this will land you in a worse situation if your plan backfires?
Mom: Why are you always negative Mac?
Dad: I am just cautious because there are two options in every game played that is a winner and a loser so we have to prepare for such circumstances.
And yes , Santana is not a brainless man because I am sure he expects fire from us anytime because he is aware that we do not like the idea of marriage, so it is obvious we are behind it.
Alfred: I am not going to expose myself to them everything will be anonymous and we will be safe. By the way dad ,I am just doing this to let you know about my moves not to be advised about my idea because in all this it is my life that is at stake here.
Dad: You speak like I do not care!
Alfred: Let us end this conversation here and yes, goodnight to all of you.
Alfred leaves the room with both parents seated and goes to his bedroom.He dials Daniel's number and on the phone Daniel receives it.
Daniel: Hello old friend.
Alfred: Hello Daniel I need to discuss something important.
Daniel: What happened to " how are you Daniel , did you forget your manners Alfred?"
Alfred: What are you saying, it is not like that it is just that I need your help to silence my enemy , but I apologise.
Daniel: It is very okay. What do you need help with?
Alfred: Check your phone immediately,I have sent you a trending story and request that you keep it anonymous but publish it tomorrow morning .Do not distort anything I have done with this video or images and yes, make sure just like the way i have given you the title of the story is how it should appear.
Daniel: Rules! rules! rules! wow my friend you have not changed in the slightest even after fifteen years down the road .Ok, I will do as you please but what is in it for me?
Alfred: Name your price and it shall be as you please.
Daniel; Considering the favor I have made you and the risks involved,only three million dollars will be charged.
Alfred: Check your account,it is sent.
Daniel: Oh, thanks man, it is good to do business with the rich, consider this done.
By the way we have a lot to catch up on we can organize a day and go out how do you see?
Alfred: Ok, let me know where and the time so we can go .
Daniel: Goodnight , Alfred
Alfred: Goodnight, Daniel.
At the Lands residence
Jemimah storms into her daughter's room , opens the curtains and pulls her off her bed from sleep . With a froggy voice ;
Diana: Mom! you are being rude right now.
Mom: How about you? what did I do to deserve this my child?
Diana: Mom, be gentle , my head aches.
Mom: I wish you were this gentle yesterday we would not have reached here .
Diana: Stop using parables and get straight to the point because I am so dizzy and can not stand overworking my brain.
Mom: Why don't you come see for yourself how famous you have come.
Diana: You are walking way too fast mom, can you at least slow down ?
Jemimah points to the big television screen in the living room where news about Diana is being published and in one of the gigantic sofa seats is her father Santana looking with too much anger quite evident on his face.
Jemimah: Care to explain what this means?
Diana: This is news to me , dad and mom believe me.
Santana: Do you know that you have turned into a laughing stock and have also tarnished my name.
Diana: When was this?
Santana: Shouldn't we be asking you this question as you are old enough to make your own decisions madam!
Diana: I do not get what is happening and I do not remember kissing any man yesterday and let alone a stranger.
Jemimah: But as you can see for yourself the news has been publicized and it is you in the picture.
Santana: Where did you get yourself drunk from exactly?
Diana: In our club.
Santana: And you want to tell me that in my own club is where all this happened but no one happened to see, does that even make sense to you?
Diana: I am being honest to you dad if you think I am lying then ask Alexa she must tell you the truth .
Santana: Look lady, I do not care where you go or how you spend your life but when doing all this can you remember that your name is linked to mine and every thing you do is always attached to me.
Diana: I was with Alexa all the while so this is definitely Photoshop or some one who looks like me but not me .
Santana: With this, it can also cost my businesses so I have to find a way to deal with this before it is out of control. And yes, do you know this could cost even your marriage?
Diana: That dad is the least of my problems and so you know marriage has never been an option for me.
Santana: Shut up! will you!.I need to get a way to fix this problem because I know the Whites will build on it.
Jemimah: Let me get you some lemonade to get you sobered up a bit.
Diana: Thanks mum.
Santana walks out of the room and he dials his personal assistant Sebastian and tells him to find the person who has tainted his daughter 's name at every cost because his name can not go down the drain just like that and that should also be done quick.
At the Whites residence
Alfred has just woken up and still in his pajamas walks to the dining table .
Alfred: Good morning mom and dad.
Mom: Good morning to you son.
Dad: Good morning to you son, how was your night?
Alfred: perfect.
Mom: I can see the excitement.
Alfred: Have you seen the news? there is a scandal .
Mac White: I know about it and I do know that we are to be striked anytime from now .
Alfred: Before it happens we should take advantage of the situation,so dad please help me call " the devil"
Mac White: Right.
Mac White calls him and tells him that the contract be terminated because Diana Lands is by far the last person he wants to see with his son and it would not be fair for his son to be implicated as well. However the plan does not go as the Whites think because once he declared this , Santana
assures him that he is aware that his son has done all this to get back at him so it is either he sets the record right by declaring that he is married to Diana with evidence of marriage or Santana exposes the truth about Alfred White and once done it will cost his company and brand AW and this could lead to his failure . So Santana tells White that he is given only twenty four hours to make a decision because after tomorrow every thing will change.
