As Anna entered Miller Cooperations, she was furious. As the workers greeted her, she literally threw one of the coffee they handed her. When she got to Lance's office, she then got shocked to see, the last person she thought she would see there, Jessica Dedeville.
'What the fuck are you doing here?' 'Oh come on Anna, you know I'd never meant to hurt you.' 'I know you set Chloeé up, she didn't kill Ryan, I know though she wanted to kill me.' 'It's fine if you don't believe me, the court did anyway.' said Jessica as she grabbed Lance's elbow and pushed him towards Anna. 'Lance wound like to say a few things.' said Jessica. Lance was scared, he knew once he told Anna what he was about to say, she'd want nothing to do with him. 'Anna, I'm sorry but... you're fired!' said Lance as Anna had a flashback.
FLASHBACK... (From Chapter 12)
'Is there anything I can do?'
'You can pack your stuff and leave.'
'Huh?'
'That's right, YOU'RE FIRED!' said Sam.
PRESENT...
'Are you serious, Lance?' 'I'm sorry Anna, you were doing great but then you took it too far, and the business needs someone with... experience.' 'Are you serious, you knew I didn't have experience, but yet you hired me.' 'Listen, Anna, you're fired and I suggest you take your belongings and leave, don't make me call security on you.' 'She did this, didn't she, Jessica's behind this?' 'I wish I was, but Lance he needed someone with experience and I managed Lopez Constructions, so...' said Jessica. Anna knew something was up, but she could only do one thing. 'Lance, if you tell that she is behind this, I can help you, I know Jessica, she can stoop very low?' asked Anna. But alas, Lance stood there and replied 'Please leave Anna, I don't want to call security on you.'
Anna took her bag and left, knowing yet again, that she had nowhere to go.

As Sam and his cousin entered the house, the kids were very excited to meet her. 'Cousin Janny!' yelled the kids. 'Oh if it isn't my three favorite kids.' 'We missed you.' 'Me too, I'm never leaving you behind.' 'Promise.' 'I promise.' said Janice as she connected her pinky with the kid's pinkies. 'Now, why don't you guys go to bed now, you must be tired.' 'Yes Auntie Janny.' said the kids as they kissed Janice on her cheeks. 'They are just the CUTEST!' Yelled Janice. 'So listen, since it wasn't Jessica, it's going to take a while for me to get the business running again, so there's not much in the house.' 'It's okay, anything will do.' 'I'm sure in the fridge, we have eggs, bacon, tomatoes, cheese, avocado, and hot chocolate.' 'That will definitely satisfy me.' 'Great, I'll cook something up for you then.' 'Thanks, Sam.' said Janice.
•••
While Lance was weak from telling Anna off like that, Jessica was laughing. 'You had no choice, it was the only way.' 'Yeah but, I love her.' 'Too bad you killed her brother.' 'Not on purpose.' 'Yeah right, anyway, let's give her some sympathy, she did help the business make a lot of money, just give her $50 000, that will suffice.' said Jessica as she left. But Lance's feelings for Anna would never make him selfish, so he sent her every she made, which means, $680 + $890 + $550 = $2 billion and $120 million, but that's a little too much, so he took the $1 billion and $120 million, leaving for Anna to have $1 billion.' Lance did. 'So, did you do it?' 'Yep.' 'Good, time to get businesses.' said Jessica.
•••
While Anna was walking through the streets of depression, she was disturbed by the press. 'Anna, how do you feel?' 'Do you think Jessica didn't kill your brother?' 'Would you ever be able to forgive Sam for firing you?' asked the reporters. Anna then stopped a cab, got in and demanded they the driver took her somewhere free. She then got the text message that told her the amount was deposited into her account, but alas, she wasn't excited. Anna then bought a small house, a laptop and a whole month's supply of cereal and milk. Yep, Anna was officially, depressed, which means she is going to go through THE FIVE STAGES OF GRIEF! :
STAGE 1: DENIAL
"He's joking, he choose me, he would never want to fire me, I'm just dreaming it." said Anna as she sat the cereal in the bowl and poured the milk.
STAGE 2: ANGER
"WHO THE FUCK DOES HE THINK HE IS TO FIRE ME, I MEAN LOOK AT ME, NO ONE WOULD WANT TO FIRE ME, ME, NO ONE!!!" Yelled Anna as she threw the bowl of cereal and milk.
STAGE 3: BARGAINING
"HEY LANCE, PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE JOKING SO I CAN COME IN TOMORROW, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!" PLEADED ANNA AS SHE SENT THE VOICEMAIL.
STAGE 4: DEPRESSION
"I-I, I'M DOOMED, NO ONE CARES ABOUT ME AND I'M GOING TO DIE ALONE AND, I'LL NEVER HAVE A PERFECT LIFE." Said Anna as she ate the cereal and milk from the box.
AND FINALLY,
STAGE 5: ACCEPTANCE
Anna then took the cereal and threw it in the bin, as she bought new furniture and decorated the place. She then put $5 million in her bank account, and the rest of the money in her savings account, in case of emergency. Just as Anna took a bath, she then got her CV ready and got ready to look for a job.
•••
As Janice was done cleaning the house, which she cleaned terribly, she then went to take a bath and left the bathroom a mess. When Sam entered the house, he accidentally slipped and fell because of the floor Janice mopped. 'Oh my gosh, are you okay?' 'I think so, who mopped?' 'It was me, sorry, I wanted to make the place a little better.' 'Oh come on Janice, there are cleaners for a reason.' 'I'm sorry Cousin Sam, I won't do it again.' 'It's okay, please, call me Sam.' 'Sure, Sam.' said Janice as she left for the bedroom. When Sam wanted to take a shower, he felt like bursting, the bathroom was so a mess. 'FAMILY MEETING!' Yelled Sam.
As Everyone joined the table, Sam was furious. 'Samie, what's the meeting for?' 'First of all, the house is disgusting and I'm expecting guests, we need to enforce some rules.' 'What is it cousin Sam.' 'Well first, I need this place to be clean in the next thirty minutes and everybody needs to be bathed, Including me.' 'So...?' 'Gosh this girl, Janice, you will clean the sitting room and the kitchen with Jenna, Micheal and Steve will clean the bedrooms and bathroom with me, it's time we take action, NOW GET TO IT!' Yelled Sam.
35 MINUTES LATER...
KNOCK...KNOCK...
'It's them, everyone get ready, quickly.' said Sam as he opened the door. 'Good Evening Mr Venter.' 'Good Evening Mr Lopez.' said Sam as she shook Venter's hand. As Venter and his wife sat down, Sam started to panic. 'Sorry Mr Venter, can I please excuse us.' said Sam as he left.
'What's wrong cousin Sam?' 'I forgot to order food, I'm doomed.' 'Oh don't worry, I'll cook.' said Janice. As Sam instantly heard what she said, he froze and began to worry. 'Are you sure?' 'Yes, I'll do it, just keep them busy.' 'Oh-okay.' said Sam as he left.
'I must say, Mr Lopez, I love your house.' 'Thank you, sir, let's get to business.' 'What do you think of building a mall near the river?' 'Sir I think it's a great idea, but it's going to have an effect.' 'What's the effect?' 'There's always a smell near the rivers, which might affect the atmosphere in the mall, I suggest is that we move it near an area with middle-class people and some people in poverty, and we should only have two overpriced stores, the rest will be middle classed.'
'I must that is a great idea, now I see why a lot of people work with you.' 'Thank you sir.' said Sam as he shook hands with Mr venter, when Janice came with the food, Sam began to shiver. 'Oh yay, food.' said Sam as he gulped.
As Mr Venter and his wife tasted the spaghetti and meatballs, Mrs Venters eyes opened wide. 'Oh, I must say this is exquisite, you're a really good chef.' 'Thank you Madam.' said Janice as she bowed. 'Thank you Miss Lopez.' 'My pleasure.' said Janice as she took the bowls and went to wash them.
As Sam escorted the guests out, he grabbed Janice and hugged her tightly. 'Thanks so much Cousin Janice.' 'It's okay, I'm glad I could help.' 'So I was wondering, would you like to cook for Lopez Constructions?' 'I'll think about it.' 'Great, good night.' said Sam as he went to bed.

As Anna was looking at newspapers for jobs, she tried everything available but unfortunately she wasn't expected. Anna than bought a bottle and wine and went home to drink. Anna didn't know what to do, it's been three days and she been unemployed. She then told herself that there is only one way, she'll have to go back to her Nanny Career, I meant thats what she was after all. So, she grabbed a newspaper, called one of the companies who were hiring and got job, since she had experience. Anna knew that her whole life, she was going to be a Nanny. And so she kept on drinking.
•••
Janice took a walk around the neighborhood, wondering if she should take the offer Sam gave her, she could either go on a cooking competition or go work for Sam, so she did the obvious. 'Hello Sam, I'd like to take the offer, see you tomorrow.' said Janice as she sent the voicemail. While she was walking, Anna bumped into her. 'I'm sorry, my mistake.' 'It's okay, I literally had to take a job offer or else I lost it.' 'Wow, lucky you, I tried a lot of job offers, but they didn't want me.' 'Oh, I'm sorry, I really should be grateful.' 'Yeah, I better get going, it was nice meeting you.' said Anna as she left.
•••
As Jessica was done packing her office, she then got a call.
"Dedevile speaking?"
"Hello Sweetie."
"M-Mom."
"It's been a long time, do you know where I am?"
"N-No."
"I'm in Jail."
"What!"
"Yes, and I see you are the new manager of Miller Cooperations."
"What do you want, Mommy?"
"My bail is $5 Million, if you don't pay the bail in three days time."
"What?"
"Then I'll tell everyone what you did, how you used Sam and killed, I believe over four people."
"But you made me do all that."
"That's not what the Court is going to believe."
"How could you."
"You have three days, make quick." said Jessica's mom, as she hang up.
Jessica then began to cry. How was she going to get $5 million in three days when she just started here. Lance then came in and saw her crying. 'Woah, are you crying?' 'I'm human you bitch, I can cry.' 'Wow, well I'm leaving.' 'Aren't you going to ask why I'm crying?' 'Well no, because you're freaking threatening me!' 'Please Lance, I need your help.' 'Why don't you just threaten me.' 'I would, but you don't have a choice.' 'Of course, she awakens.' said Lance as Jessica stood up, wiped her tears and walked towards him. 'Listen here, I need $5 million in two days time.' 'What!, hell no!' 'There you are, acting as if you have a choice.' 'You're a menace.' 'I know right, here's how we're going to get it, Lopez Constructions has gotten a new deal.' 'So...?' 'We are going to take that deal, no matter the cost.' 'But that's wrong, Sam worked had to get that deal.' 'And yet again, I DON'T CARE!' Said Jessica. Lance didn't want to do it, but alas, he had no choice.
