Rose woke up, tied to a chair.

She blinked, her eyed adjusting to the bright light.

Rose noticed a woman sitting in a chair.

Her face covered with a mask.

"Oh good you're awake!"

Rose spat on the ground and glared.

"You don't seem pleased."

"You bloody bastard! How dare you! Unite me!"

The woman internally rolled her eyes.

"You have quite a loud mouth," The lady spoke, amused.

"Oh you bastar-"

The woman clapped and a bulk man taped her mouth shut.

"Ok, now that you're silenced, I brought you here for a deal."

"I know that you're bankrupt and have been asking your daughter for help."

"If I said I could help you, only to have a favour in return, would you agree?"

The man ripped the tape and Rose shouted in pain.

"I-I guess so, but by helping my family and I, what sort of favour would you need?"

"I will be giving you guys millions of dollars monthly, only if you continue this favour," The woman said, beating around the bush.

"What favour?"

She sighed.

"It involves your daughter Eleanor."

Andrew sighed, laying on the couch.

"You're going to have to go back to the company you know that?" Andrews father, Noah said.

"Yeah."

"Son, I passed the company to you, cause I trusted you, I am able to run it once more for now, but you need to get it together," Noah sighed and left.

Andrew was falling apart.

If you mentioned his name, everyone had an opinion, whether or not it was negative or positive.

He couldn't handle it.

His mother, Andrea entered the living room.

"Hey, you ok?" She asked, concerned.

"No."

"I don't know how I'm gonna fix this ma."

She softly smiled and assured him "Look, this will be over soon, but you need to find a way to end it sooner."

"If you think about it, El went through the same thing, just look at how she got through it."

"But the thing is, I'm actually guilty of the rumours, she wasn't," Andrew sighed.

"I didn't raise you to give up Drew, you can find a way."

Andrea left the room and Andrew once again was alone.
