Chapter 17"Was it a bad day for you, young master?" Manang Lucinda inquired of the young man who was sipping wine from a glass quietly. The young man didn't respond, still irritated by the girl's questioning. Nobody can meddle with his life. No one. "Your girlfriend is so beautiful and kind, no wonder you like her," the old lady said again, expecting a response from the young man, but there was none. The elderly lady sighed and shook her head, pitying the young lady who had just arrived. The girl was so happy a while ago, as if the long-dormant mansion had come to life. She likes the girl even though she only spends a short amount of time with her. They are lively and cheerful, which is ideal for their master, who has lost his smile. The old lady did not speak again, knowing that no matter what she said, nothing would change; the old lady felt pity for the girl when she suddenly remembered something. "Oh my God!" She exclaimed. The young man turned around when he saw the old lad
"Dude, you have to handle this on your own; the boss has other orders," I told Lucas as I got out of the car. He inquired, "Where are you going, and what did he say?" Samantha's mother and brother were standing next to him when I looked at him and shook my head. "I'll tell you later, I'm in a rush." I sighed as I shut the car door, unable to tell them what Luther had told him. They are still unsure, and there is no hard evidence. He also didn't want to offend the mother or her son. He can sense their anguish. Their tears are genuine, he knows they are really concerned about Samantha. Shaking his head, he left the location and began the mission assigned to him by Luther. He didn't like this mission. He didn't want to look into the girl's background. He is afraid that it might be the same as his sister who died at the hands of the mafia. This is also why he decided to join Luther's group. To find and perish the person responsible for his sister's death. There's a chance his friend's
"What happened, Young Master? Why is Lady Samantha unconscious?" Manang Lucinda inquired, concerned, as she noticed Luther carrying the girl into the mansion. Luther simply replied, "She's just tired from playing with Yuki," and climbed upstairs to the girl's room. "After you prepare the dinner, come upstairs and bathe her," he said as he continued walking. He could hear her response before ascending to the second floor of the house. He returned his gaze to the young woman's face and could feel his rage growing. He's just trying to be patient, but God knows he's not. Earlier, he wanted to shake and tried to awaken the girl to answer his questions. He will not stay quiet as long as a mafia associate is present in his home. Because, if his suspicions were correct, the girl was sent only to spy on him. Someone might have discovered their secrets, and this became their solution to discover the truth behind the thefts. He placed the girl in her assigned bed. He then turned away when
"I'm on my way to the company. Yeah, okay. Let's meet there," Luther said as he drove away from the caller. It was none other than Lucas, who had been preoccupied with the girl's family. He smirked as he remembered the girl's mother asking Lucas not to return to the mansion and instead stay in their own home. Her family appears to have been involved in the operation as well. Why would they want to live in a dilapidated house again when they can live in a mansion? It's strange that it gives him even more reason to distrust the girl. He examined the tissue in which the bread given by the girl was wrapped. He simply grinned and took it without saying anything, tossing it into the garbage can that passed by. Pretending to be innocent will not work on him. She will no longer deceive them, and he will no longer be deceived. He drove straight until he arrived at the company. His male employees greeted him politely, while women gazed at him seductively, as they always do. The young man'
Chapter 21"How long has she been here?" Luther queried at Lucas, who sat in the passenger seat and was on his cellphone. "Two hours after you left, Manang Lucinda said." " Damn!" exclaimed the young man, irritated by another issue that had arisen. His grandmother knows nothing about the girl, whom they never had the opportunity to tell. The grandmother is unaware of their relationship and has never met the girl. The girl is exactly the same. Even if she recalls something, she will never recognize his grandmother. She couldn't be with the girl until he explained to his grandmother the situation. "Have you considered your backstory? Gransil will most likely ask where and when you met," Lucas asked, still typing on his phone. The young man could not respond because he had already forgotten about his grandmother because he was preoccupied with the company, the mission, and the girl. "She won't buy that love at first sight since you have a bad temper when it comes to women." "Then ma
"What's up with that face? You look like you lost a bet, pfft!" Lucas exclaimed as he entered the office and noticed his friend's frowning expression. "Has it gotten any naughtier in the mansion?" "Problems keep building my way, fck it!" Luther shook his head. "I told you to just let Samantha go, so look what happened to you, blame no one for your fault," Lucas continued, drawing a glare from his friend. "Shut the fvck up." Lucas shook his head and returned his attention to his cellphone, while the troubled young man focused his gaze on the laptop, where every move of his grandmother and forced lover could be seen. The two can be seen laughing in the living room for nearly three hours and because of the distance between them and the CCTV camera, the young man couldn't hear what the two were saying. He installed a surveillance camera for the girl. He wanted to make sure he could watch her every move because he didn't want to miscalculate again. Later, he noticed the two getting up
"Are we going to that plutocracy?" Kheed inquired, his golden watch in hand. It's that time of month again, when mafia clans gather in one place to exchange alliances, expand their business, and prove their supremacy by joining the ranks of the X Organization. "Are you sure you're asking the obvious? That's the only gathering he never missed," Lucas replied, holding some papers on the young CEO's desk. "I'm just wondering, if we're going to lay low after the chase, aren't they already watching our every move?" Lucas did not respond because he had forgotten about the previous chase. He looked at his troubled pal, who had his eyes closed. "Are you going?" "Absolutely." "Aren't you afraid they'll ambush you for fighting against their clan? We've been busted," Lucas worriedly asked. What happened was not in their plan; they expected it to happen, but not this soon. They haven't even finished half of it. All they know is that his parents were murdered by two clans. Apart from that, t
"Manang, what time does Luther get home?" I inquired, peering outside the mansion. It's getting dark, but none of them have returned home. "That depends on the young master; he comes home at different times, sometimes early, sometimes late. Oh, what date is today?" Manang inquired, suddenly recalling something. She checked her phone to confirm something. " Today is the tenth of the month, and I'm sure he'll be late. " "Why?" I inquired, perplexed as to why the company would stay open so late. "He always comes home late on the tenth of the month, telling us not to cook." Manang's response broke my heart. I looked at the food on the table, which I was busy decorating to make it more visually appealing. I also sighed as I looked at my bandaged hands. I was injured several times because I didn't know how to use certain kitchen appliances. I was so ecstatic with my own discovery that I assumed I knew how to use everything. I thought I knew everything and could do everything. "Señora do
Samantha was smiling as she observed the people crossing the street ahead of her. They were taking a break in a cafe close to the destination they visited.She is still in awe at the location they went to; she never imagined that there could be more exquisite than her boyfriend's house's garden."Luther, why did you decide to come here?" she asked, grinning, turning to face the man seated next to her who was carrying the two drinks. He had a hot cup of coffee, while she had a hot chocolate.The young man sipped his coffee without responding, recalling that the only place he had selected was the one he had initially seen in the brochure.He doesn't give it much thought because he detests wasting time.However, as a result, he recalled a particular incident.He recalled that university search served as a model for the establishment.He again did it. Since she is the first girl he sees at that particular moment, he chooses her.He shook his head when he considered that. "Ah, he really ha
Chapter 47Really? Are they out on a date?After learning of Luther's call, Kheed queried with amazement. "What did your friend eat?""Looks like Hunter did a great job," Lucas said with a smile."Yeah, and I hope he continues to behave like that. I really hope Samantha gets a happy ending.” He saw Lucas staring at him and replied. “Okay, including our friend who was conceived out of spite." It made Lucas giggle. "But if the boss is busy with his love life, what about the mission? I mean, we already have a lead on who killed, but what's next?" Kheed asked off-topic, causing his friend's smile to vanish. because their pal was too preoccupied in criticizing Samantha. He made the decision to defy his commands. He was searching everywhere for informatiom when he found something, Something that doesn't fit the narrative they are familiar with.“We must begin with the Le'roux. The last descendent must be located. ""What? Someone survive that massacre?” Kheed questioned in shock.Lucas res
"Do you think he'll change his mind?" Kheed inquired outside the condominium unit where Luther and Samantha were sleeping.Lucas looked toward the door before saying, "I don't know, but at least we tried."Kheed sighed and peered toward the door. "I never imagined Sam suffered so much. I mean, look at her smile. It's so pure and pretty. You can't believe she went through all that," Kheed said, shaking his head, recalling Samantha's brother's story. "I never imagine, having a pretty face can make your life miserable.""I hope colliding with her was the best option God had. She's been through a lot." Lucas said as he was leaving the hallway.Kheed shook his head and added, "Ah, I really hope your friend realizes it. I feel sorry for Sam." Then he followed his companion.Lucas said to himself as he left the hallway, "Let's trust Luther; I know he won't make the same mistakes."Meanwhile... The young man was still quietly seated on the couch inside the condo, clutching the USB drive that
Chapter 45 Rather than calling their friend, Kheed and Lucas head straight to the foreign land and start searching for the obstinate child. To save their hopes of turning their friend around, they must locate the child. Keeping their acquaintance from knowing, the two behaved softly and discreetly. Their mission was expedited by their contacts, which they acquired when Gransil gave them the order to locate Samantha's brother. Hunter was located in an upscale hotel right away. The two decided to simply move despite being taken aback by how the boy entered the pricey building. They weren't prepared for what they saw, though, before they even approached. The enemy was also there and was aware of it's target. Though they need to stop it from happening, they don't know who to prioritize, "We have to take care of the kid first." Finally, after giving it some thought, Kheed said, "Roger." Right away, the two moved to apprehend the child who wasn't causing the disturbance, just as they h
Luther never let Samantha get away from him after the phone call. She never left the hotel room. The young man even forbade the girl from peering through the window, which the girl did not comprehend. She has no idea why she had to cling to the four lonely corners of the room. Her boyfriend took her to a wonderful nation with many places to visit; why does he prefer to keep her inside? The girl had no idea about her boyfriend's sudden changes. She even imagined that following their pleasant talk after she was admitted to the hospital, his treatment would improve. She didn't expect him to be more harsh on her. He departs and returns only when the sky has darkened. This is what Samantha goes through every day for three days. She couldn't go out since she didn't want to aggravate the young man's fury, so she followed him with her eyes closed. Now the young man was getting ready to leave again, while she sat at the kitchen table, reluctantly looking at him. She desires to go outside.
I silently gazed out the car window, searching for something to look at among the colorful lights from the houses that illuminated the dark sky. My boyfriend drove back to the hotel for nearly thirty minutes without saying anything at all. I'm not sure if I did something wrong here. He still has his infamous wrinkled forehead, which makes me wonder if I should open something we can talk about. I don't want to aggravate his rage, so even though it's awkward, I prefer to remain silent.I'm bored with my head pressed against the window, still looking around when I notice a familiar location. When our car passed by it, I immediately got up and stared at it. "They also play music at night," I almost twisted my neck when I saw the musicians I used to play with. I smiled as I remembered how much fun I had playing with them. They helped me rediscover a skill I had forgotten about. Every day, I am astonished by the new things I learn about myself. I never imagined I could do so much. This ma
"Alright, send me the documents right away; I need everything; do your job right this time, Kheed."I was awakened by a cold and familiar voice. When I turned to see where it came from, I saw the familiar wrinkled forehead of my boyfriend, who was sitting on the sofa and talking on the phone. When he noticed me, he immediately put down the phone he was holding and approached me. "How are you?"There was no hint of anger, but I couldn't catch the concern in his tone either. I looked up at his face, thinking that this was better than him constantly reprimanding me. "I'm fine," I smiled."Are you sure?" he asked again. "Or do you need more time to recover?"This abrupt shift caught me off guard. We seemed to have an argument just the other night. How did it suddenly alter its attitude toward me? Is there anything I missed last night? Did I do something right?The only thing I remember from last night is that we got into a fight and I ran away from the hotel... My body then abruptly stopp
Luther hurried as he bridal carried the girl, still trembling in terror, as soon as he arrived at the hospital's entrance. He alternated between looking at the girl and the road, unsure of what to do. He notified them of the girl's condition the moment they saw the nurse coming. The medical staff moved swiftly to transport the girl to the designated room. The young man was still taking a breath after his sprint. Is she going to be alright?’ he asked himself, a tinge of worry for the girl. He realized that mental health was no joke when he watched how much his mother struggled with such a condition. He sat down on the bench in the corridor after drawing a big breath. He pulled out his phone to pass the time while he waited and then unexpectedly got a call from his pal. "What is it?" (Gransil arrived.) As soon as he heard it, the young man promptly closed his eyes. He had more issues to consider. The young man said irritably, "You deal with it since you're the one who made me fly here
"France, huh?" said the man sipping wine, slyly smirking as he looked at the photo of the young woman smiling inside the airport. "We discovered that Mr. Cromwell was looking for the person you know," his staff said, bowing to the man with the dragon tattoo. "And who is that fortunate individual?" "It was SLee." The man who was looking at the photo at that time burst out laughing. It even slapped the table. "Really?" "Yes, my lord," he laughed even more, shaking his head and taking another photo and this time it's the picture of two facing each other. "How did he end up taking his father's place with his way of thinking?" "We doubt he knows who he's looking for." "Then there's one thing: he's no match for me. Just a fvcking boyfriend wannabe." He leaned forward and tossed the photo into the air, then quickly threw it away with a small knife. The knife's sharp edge slashed the young man's face, pinning him against the wall. "The next thing this knife will touch will undoubtedly b
