(Walter's home)

~Los Angeles, California ~

Mr Walter, a man in his 60s sat on his sofa with his eyes glued to the TV. He smiles as he watched the news.

The election for the state gubernatorial election has put the city in an hopeful situation as Los Angeles can't wait to see a new development in California.

A woman who seems to be his wife came out with some bottle of wine from the kitchen.

"Hey honey,, who do you think is going to be our next Mayor?"

He asked with his eyes still glued to the TV

"That's left for we citizens to decide,, but I think...

Suddenly, four men in black suit barge in interrupting Mrs Walter. They broke down the house door.

Some men already surrounded the house and vicinity.

"Who are you?

What do you all want?"

Mr Walter asked. No one talked, they all kept quiet.

Mr taylor wanted to move,, everyone of them quickly brought out a gun and point it at him

"Stay where you are,, old man"

One of them said.

Mr taylor sighs.

"What do you all want?? We will give them to you,,, please don't just hurt us"

Mrs taylor pleaded.

"My money"

A voice replied from outside.

The walters wondered who it was.. everyone looked at the opened door waiting for someone to show up.

A man in blue suit showed up, he had a curled blonde hair and a straight handsome face. Anyone could figure out he is extremely rich with his dressing.. he hold a folding walking stick with his left hand and his right hand was in his pocket.

He put on a wicked smile and walked in.

Mr Walter and his wife fell down on their knees.

"Am sorry about your door my men broke down..

I will remove the damages from the money you owe me"

He said and looked at Mr Walter.

" Son, please am going to pay back soon, I just need more time"

Mr Walter pleaded.

He smile and walk slowly to him,, move closer to his ears

" First, am not your son..

My name is Andrew William and no one call me son apart from my father "

He whispered into Mr Walter's ear before pushing him away slightly with his walking stick.

" And time is not something you can play with,, I have given you time enough,,

Where is my money?

He asked again more angrily.

Mr taylor kept quiet.

"Alright, where is she then?

Since I can't have my money, I just be able to have her "

" She isn't back home yet "

Mr taylor replied in fear.. he stutter as he talk.

Mrs taylor just look down trying not to look at their faces.

" Or should I take your woman instead? "

He said and walk to Mrs Taylor,, touching her cheeks and face.

He draw her closer to him by her jaw and plant a kiss on her neck.

"I can have your wife instead, I don't care about her age"

"No, Mr Andrew,, my daughter will be back from work soon, you can have her"

Mr Walter quickly replied.

Andrew chuckles..

"Hmm, I can see you love your wife more than your daughter "

He replied.

" What's going on here? "

A lady asked as she walked in slowly.

She has a long hair and wore a black plain joggers and a white shirt that shows half of her stomach.

" What are some uncultured men doing in front of our home? "

Andrew turned to her...

" It's because am here, dear..

He replied and smile.

Rose sighs and walk to his parents on the ground..

"Are you okay, mom?"

She asked.

"Yeah we are fine"

Her mom replied.

Rose face Andrew...

" Will you please leave us alone?

We already agreed we are going to pay you back"

Rose raise her voice at her.

" Pay me back??

With what?? Your family is still struggling to live or where can they find the money. I already make an easy way for you,

"Just agree to my proposal,, that settles it, your parents will owe me nothing any more..

Their 20 million dollars will be cleared off"

"The money was stole from them, you flirting fool"

Rose cursed at Andrew.

"A flirting fool"

He scoffs and hit his walking stick on the ground.

"I will let that pass "

" I don't care what happened to the money,, I loaned them money is the part am playing now, as the creditor.

I want my money back or you accept my proposal

What else do you want, Rose? He asked and stood up.

" Am Rich, am powerful, I have the whole world under my feet, am the perfect man you want "

Rose scoffs...

" You and I both know you want me to be your sex toy and as far as I was concerned, I wasn't put on this earth to be a man's plaything, contrary to my dear mother trying to convince me otherwise"

Rose replied.

Andrew became angry at her words..

" Take them"

He said those two words and walked out.

His men rushed to Mr Walter and his wife, carried them on their shoulders.

Mrs Walter was trying to resist their grip but was given a slap at the face.

Rose could not hold her tears seeing her mom being treated in that manner...

Andrew's men carried her parents and walked out.

Maddie walked in with a sorry face and hug her from behind.

" It's going to be okay, rose..

Am here for you"

She said.

" Yeah,,

Thanks Maddie"

Rose replied and sat down.

" Did you tell him about Robert? "

Maddie asked.

" No, I can't.. I can't tell him am in love with Robert.

Robert and Andrew William are sworn enemies"

" Robert could be the one to solve your problem, who knows "Maddie suggested.

" Does Robert knows you are in love with him also?

Maddie asked and rose keep quiet.

"Huhn, I don't think so"

"Robert has a girlfriend, there is no way he will leave Olivia and decide to be with me, and please, I need to think of any possible way I can save my parents from Andrew's wicked hands"

She stood up and walk away.

Maddie sighs sadly as she watched her.
