Dave followed the maid up the stairs and she opens a door for him to enter into.
He enters the room with his mouth wide open.
“Just ring if you need anything sir. That’s the bell beside your bed.” The maid said and closed the door.
Dave is amazed with the size of the room and he immediately let’s himself fall on the bed. He sits up on the bed.
“I could get use to this. But this is not the time to relax. Not until I get what I want.” He said.

Dave POV
I laid down on the extremely soft bed and drifted off to dreamland…
… Dave? Dave! Dave! It’s all your fault! You were so ignorant! You felt something was wrong but you did nothing! What kind of a son are you?!
No! Mother! No! Please! Don’t hate me! Don’t blame me! I didn’t know! Please mother, I… I… I didn’t…
… I rose up from sleep immediately. All my body was covered in sweat.
Tears rush down from my eyes as I recall the dream again.
There’s no stopping it. It will just continue happening. It will always give me sleepless nights.
I looked around the room and noticed it was a bit darker than when I fell asleep. Then I saw a clock on the wall.
Seven pm. Did I sleep that long?
I arose from bed and opened my door then started climbing down the stairs.
I was close to reaching the living room but then I saw Hilton in another room.
“You are finally awake. Come in and join me for dinner.” He said.
I walked into the room, which was actually a dining room.
“What are you going to eat?” Hilton asked.
“Anything available I guess.” I replied.
“You can’t just say, anything available. You have to pick one.” Hilton said.
“If you say so. I will have a salad.” I replied.
“Salad it is then.” He said.
“Adele make him a salad.” He said to the cook.
“Yes sir.” The replied.
“I see that you still have this your habit of avoiding meat.” Hilton said.
“Yes, and I don’t intend to.” I replied.
We both laughed and then got to eating.
“Ah yes. I remember I was saying something before I had to leave.” Hilton said.
“Yes. You were.” I replied.
“What I’m saying is that I would like to make you a co-owner of my company.” Hilton said.
“What?! Hilton, that’s… That’s so unexpected and sudden.” I said.
“I never said you would become I charge by my side immediately. No no. That’s not how it works. Firstly, you would have to become an employee. That way, you would have the chance to work your way to the top.” Hilton said.
“I don’t know what I would be without you Hilton. You are doing all this just for me.” I said.
“Ha ha ha. What are friends for? And besides, I know how hard working you are, right from the beginning.” Hilton said.
“I won’t let you down.” I said.
“I know that very well Dave. Now let’s eat up.” Hilton said.
Some minutes later, after we were done with our food, Hilton went into his office because he had some work to do, and I went back to the room from whence I came.
It’s just been such a day for me.
After some time, I fell asleep.
The next morning, I woke up to an aching back.
Whatever position I slept in last night wasn’t a good one.
I stretched a bit and then got up from bed. Straight to the bathroom I go.
I came out of my room and searched for where Hilton’s room might be.
I need to ask him where the bathroom is.
After opening series of doors I finally found Hilton’s room.
“Hilton.” I said.
He didn’t answer me. He must have slept late last night.
I went into the room and closer to his bed. I shook him a bit and he murmured something.
“Wake up Hilton.” I said.
He finally opened his eyes and then he suddenly gasped.
“Oh, Dave, it’sjust you. You almost gave me a heart attack. What are you doing in my room?” He said.
“I need to know where the bathroom is.” I replied.
“Couldn’t you have asked the maid?” He asked.
“Damn, It didn’t cross my mind.” I replied.
“Go to your room Dave. There’s a bathroom there.” He said.
He got up from his bed and stretched out.
“I need to get to work.” He said.
“Okay. I’ll in my room if you need me.” I said.
He nodded at me and I left his room.
I got back to my room and then opened a door that was there.
I never really knew that it was a bathroom this whole. I thought the door would lead to another room.
The bathroom had a big bathtub, a standing mirror, a shower, a toilet and many more things too.
It was an all in one bathroom.
I relaxed myself in the bathtub and just let everything soak in.
I have never felt this good in a long time and that’s the truth.
Once I was done with the bathroom, I went down stairs.
“Ah, Dave. It’s good that you are here.” Hilton said.
“Why do you say so?” I asked.
“I just got some information about Mr Adams.” Hilton said.
“What’s the news? I asked.
“Well, my agent just informed me that Mr Adams no longer resides here.” Hilton said.
“Where does he stay now?” I asked.
“New york, along with his twenty one years old daughter and his wife.” Hilton replied.
“What?! He has a family?!” I exclaimed.
“Yeah. He is a married man.” Hilton replied.
I folded my fists till they started hurting.
“Mr Adams! Three atrocities at once! Rape! Murder! Adultery! You are so wicked and I will make you pay!” I yelled in great anger.
“You are right Dave. He has to pay for his crimes.” Hilton said.
“Yes Hilton. In the most cruel way possible.” I said.
