The night passed uneventfully and Silas woke up the next day feeling very refreshed. He got out of bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

After he was done, he put on some change of clothes and went downstairs for breakfast.

When he got down there, he saw that his family were already awake and gathered round the dining table.

His father was scrolling through the tab in his hand, while looking at it intently. Silas didn't need to ask what he was doing to know that he was either reading or watching some news materials, and keeping himself up with what's happening in the world.

Alex was dressed in what looks to be a school uniform and was munching on his food happily. And Kim who was dressed in an OL attire was just done serving his breakfast.

Seeing this, a bright smile bloomed on his face as he walked towards the table.

"Good morning, Dad. Good morning, Kim. How was your night?" He greeted as he took his seat at the table.

He looked at Alex who was seated beside him and ruffled his hair gently.

"How are you, champ? You slept well?" He asked and he received a nod from Alex in response.

"What about you, brother?"

"It was marvelous," Silas replied as he ruffled his hair once more, before he turned his attention to his food.

"Hey, son. How was your night?" Chris greeted back with a smile when he saw Silas. He put aside the tab in his hand and started eating.

"Good morning, Silas. My night was fine. How was yours?" Kim greeted back with a beautiful smile on her face.

"It was great. You look grate and ready for work, today," Silas said in response to what she's wearing.

"Yeah. The company resumed operations a fee days ago and things are back to being as hectic as it was before," Kim replied.

{I found nothing.}

"You found nothing or you found nothing?" Silas asked trying to understand what she was saying.

{It means they are clean.}

"Good," Silas said in relief.

He knew that he doesn't have to worry about some rats infiltrating his company then.

{And in addition to what Kim said, some, of not all of your old acquaintances are here in Venezuela.}

"Ohhh.... Who and who?" Silas asked in curiosity.

{Mr Brandon, Emma, Sarah, President Odetta, Chloe and her family.}

"That's..." Silas has no words. He could guess the reason as to why most of them are in Venezuela but President Odetta is what's surprising him.

'What does she want?' he asked himself as he thought of different possibilities. He thought of something and scoffed in response.

'There's no way, right? There's no way she left her job and position as the President of Stanford University to come to Venezuela. If so, what's the reason behind it?'

No matter how much Silas thought about it, he couldn't come up with any possible reason for her presence in Venezuela.

He decided to redirect his thoughts to others as he thought of the girls, Emma and Sarah. A smile crept up to his face when he thought of them.

They were the first set of people to come into his life after his life changed. They worked for him for a year before he asked them to leave. Though the two of them were very curious about his identity, they didn't look too much into it.

Silas felt that he would have to meet with them as soon as possible. And this brought his thought to Chloe.

He couldn't help but sigh when he thought of her. He felt like he had been unfaithful or something as Céline's face flashed before his eyes.
