SECRET LIFE SECRETS REVEALED

A MAN APART

Boykevich International Headquarters.
9:22 AM

Ben takes Sarah with him into the office, and shocks everyone there with her presence.  Many of the employees knew their young temporary boss, might have gotten married in his time away, but none realized he had also started a family.  This situation disappointed many of the female employee's who worked in the office because they found Ben quite attractive, and him being the heir to the company and a large fortune made him even more attractive.  They also found him funny, and charming, even more so than Ricky.  Now they all were disappointed to learn that he was off the market.  But they were all intrigued by Sarah who looked so young, and beautiful.  She was bright, warm, welcoming, innocent, friendly, and very respectful as Ben introduced her to everyone, and explained to her what they did at the office. 

 Sarah was mesmerized by the entire company, and marveled that her Daddy worked their.  Ben was very happy to show her off, Sarah was the total pride of his life.  It was her presence now that made everything he endured while he was Ben Boykevich tolerable.  Knowing that being that person helped this wonderful being come to be was worth every heartbreak, humiliation, and betrayal he had to suffer through.  Inside he had learned to hate and loathe the man he was for believing all the lies Amy, Adrian, Henry, Alice, and Leo had ever told him about loving him, and caring about him.  He truly despised not being able to see through the lies that so many told him were there.  But, he put those thoughts aside today he was going to show his daughter the legacy her Grandparents created.  Even though it wouldn't be her's, he refused to burden her with a company that would curse her with people like Amy, Adrian, Henry, Alice, and Ricky coming into his life looking for a handout pretending to care about her. 

 But this company was built by her Great Grand Parent's it was the culmination of their hard work  dedication, sacrifice, and love they had for their children, their children's children, and future generations.  He hated to realize one day this company may belong to Ricky Underwood and his family, and they would corrupt all that his fore father's created.  But the legacy of who they were to Ben was much more than the company, the stores they owned, the money they had, or even the people that worked for them.  The unbreakable spirit that built Boykevich International was in him, and also in Sarah, it's what allowed him to be the man he was now, and one day guide Sarah with the spirit of her mother's family into being the strong woman she would one day be.  Ben was very happy to take Sarah up the executive elevator to show her the history of the company.

Sarah: Daddy what is this place? (looking at the floor of the office of C.E.O which had been renovated some time before to look more majestic with white walls marble flooring, and over hanging lights.)

Ben: This is Daddy's floor it's where I come to work, and make decisions.

Sarah: Really? (looking at him and this place with wide eyes, begins to use her sign again)

Ben: Yes really. Do you like it?  (also using sign)

Sarah: Yes, it's BEAUTIFUL!! (using sign and her voice) .  

Ben: I'm glad you like it. (Sarah didn't like to use sign language much in public in some way's she was still adapting since she didn't know all of it.  At the same time neither did he.  But Ben felt bad, because he saw how embarrassed Sarah was to speak and show she had a lisp which was a tell that something was wrong with her.  It's why he didn't want her existence to be found out by Leo and as he called the rest the PRETTY ONE'S.  It was no secret to him any longer they judged him for how he looked and no more.  He knew without a doubt they did the same to Sarah when they saw her.  Judged her looks and her dis-ability, they all thought they were so flawless.  He didn't want Sarah around them or their children who Ben believed would easily inherit all their parent's habits.  But he would never let them make his daughter feel ugly or un-wanted as they made him feel not even for a moment.)  

Sarah:  Daddy, who are they?  (pointing to the pictures of his family hanging on the wall)
