CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO:

Break off

--

Both Victoria and Tyler were well known in the circle of the business world. Both are successful—even though Tyler has yet to surpass his parents, his talent for managing his business is remarkable—not to mention Tyler’s father and Victoria’s ex-husband. They have this intimidating air circling them. Many businessmen and women respect them a lot. With the amount of attention and praise they receive; many perceive them as serious and stern people. And, of course, they maintain this front at every business gathering that they attend.

But it seems like they forgot how to maintain this image of them right now.

April tried her best to not show discomfort on her face. As well as Dave's. Aaron had no issue since he had a stoic face to begin with. Sheryl, on the other hand, showed it for a second before masking it back. The four only have one question in their mind:

‘Did she just crack a joke?’

Tyler, who had his words backfired on him, did not bother pondering

    CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE:Mother and Son--ARC SEVEN:Chase—crossesTyler’s steps are fast as he walks toward his car. His car was not parked far from the entrance of the basement, but his strides were ironically long. It was like the distance between them was stretched. The light in the basement was dim, the fluorescent lights were placed at even distances. Every time he crosses a well-lighted area, the hardened expression on his face is shown. Victoria noticed the silence of her son. It wasn’t unusual since she had gotten used to this version of him. Also, her ex-husband is like this, it is like her ex-husband's younger version, so she very well knows how to handle them. With a coy smile plastered on her beautiful face, she walked faster to walk next to him. He was walking fast earlier, so she was a step behind. Her high heels were clacking against the hardened floor, and her legs were long, so she was walking next to him in a matter of seconds. Matching up her son’s pace, she shot hi

    CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR;Hospital--The telephone clanked after Melanie placed it back. After that, the noise faded into the background. She and the other two were standing still next to her. The three adults in the room were still processing the information they received as fast as they could they would not scare the little boy that was with them. Kai was sitting on the chain near them. His arms were laying on the table and he was dangling his feet. His structure is small, after all. He still needs support when sitting down or getting off of the chair sometimes. The little boy was silently staring at the back of the adults. His eyes that he got from her mother were still, it was as if he had fallen into deep thought. He heard everything they said on the phone, but his young brain still can't fully understand the conversation at all. But the look on their faces and the emotion laced with worry, hesitation, and disbelief in their voices made him think,'Something bad happened to mother.'

Oh, and also, the bullet is already removed from her body." Victoria explained in the stead of the doctors. She was sitting on the sofa next to the dozing of Kai. The younger boy is sleepy since it was past his bedtime. His body is not used to staying up late like this. Victoria is rubbing his head affectionately. The boy reminds her of Tyler when he was a kid. Melanie nodded at her. "Thank you for making the arrangements for us. We can take this from here.""You're welcome!" Victoria said enthusiastically. She stood up after giving Kai a last pat on his back. "Since the two of us—" she gave the silent Tyler a short glance. "Three—since the three of us are close, there's no harm in helping a friend, right?"She showed off her best convincing smile. Jack, Melanie, and Becca squinted their eyes to protect them

    CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX:RUN--Inside a black van were 5 chaotic men. The rock music coming from the speakers was loud. It was irritating to the ear, but for some reason, the men inside were also shouting along with the music. Their drive is not steady at all since their driver looks drunk and all. They were so noisy that their noise even escaped the van, but it annoyed no passerby or other vehicles. Because there were none in the first place. The black van was driving alone on an abandoned road. The road was rocky and grassy. It looks like it has not been maintained for a long time. Their surroundings were quiet. The only source of sounds was their noise and the rustling of the leaves when birds flew away from the trees or landed to take a rest on the branches. Other than that, the place is oddly dark and silent. They can see nothing but the bumpy, straight road and the tall trees. They were in the middle of a forest. “Hey, hey, hey!” the man in the front seat called out for his noisy c

    CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN:He Has a Son?--The corridor of the hospital is cold and silent. The floor is cleaned like they were polishing a diamond, it even reflects the shine of the light coming out from the bulbs embedded in the ceiling. There were sofas and chairs along the way, and the doors of the rooms were closed tightly. Specks of lights are pouring out from the gaps of the door the floor, and the glass window. The hospital looks deserted if not for the group of five people- which consists of adults and a 5-year-old kid- walking and passing the rooms."Uhm," Melanie tried her best to get their attention while whispering. The whole place is so quiet that she felt bad about making noise. What if she wakes up the other patients in the hospital? And since there was nothing but silence surrounding them, the other three caught it. “I’m really sorry about this…”Melanie’s eyes looked at Tyler who was carrying the little Kai in his arms.

    CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT:Tyler and Kai--Morning came earlier than Tyler expected. Like his daily routine, he's woken up by his maid, takes a bath after a short run in his garden, then wears his outfit of the day; a tie and his black suit, then pairs it up with black leather shoes. Tyler stood in front of his human-sized mirror while fixing his tie. His hair is a little damp since he didn't dry it properly. He's a little lazy to dry them using a towel. He even just runs his hand on them, not bothering about styling them.Knock, knock.Tyler paused when he heard the knocks. Looking at the door through the mirror, he called. "Yes?""Sir Tyler," a muffled voice called. Although it was a little inaudible, he immediately recognized it as the head maid. His former nanny. "Your breakfast is ready.""Wait," Giving his appearance a quick fix and check, he turned away from the mirror and opened the door. The head maid was already standing at a safe distance so he could pass. Tyler smiled at her. "

Every employee who arrived a little late to see the event has a big question mark on their head. Hearing snips and crumbs of what had transpired, they became curious and also flocked to the biggest circle near the reception area. “What happened?” One of the newly arrived asked. The others who also knew nothing about it perked up their ears, ready to absorb the tea. “It seems like Sir Tyler has a son---" one lady said, but the lady next to her lightly elbowed her side. She was cut off and most of them glared at her for the interruption. She glared back.“Shut up, stop making false news.” She huffed. “I was near to them, so I heard that the kid did not even call him ‘dad’, ‘daddy’, or whatsoever! He addressed him as Mr. Tyler!”Grunts of confirmation followed this. A man popped his head through

She was looking at the photo with interest in her eyes. She looked at me. “Erase every record the police had or anything within Victoria’s reach, we can’t have her figuring out everything before I can have my fun of them destroying each other.”“Hmmm,” I glanced at her. “Isn’t she your friend?”“Friend?” She smiled, appearing innocent. “I don’t have anything like that.

Althea could not recognize the features of the faces, but she knew they were medical workers because of their uniforms. It was the uniforms that the nurses and the doctors wear that she sees every time she goes to the hospital for check-ups and visits to her father.“You have been stabilized…” She heard muffled voices as if she was submerged in an ocean, waters entering her ear canals. She tried to move, but her body was too heavy like lead. She gave up and remained still, still unable to do anything, not even talk.“The man who found you and sent you here already paid for the medical bills…”‘What are they talking about?’ Althea had no clue. ‘It seems important.
