LATTON walks out of the interrogation room, her face flustered. She marched to Derek who was sitting on the bench, head lowered, hands covering his face. When he saw Latton’s shoes in front of him, he lifted his gaze. Done with the… Before he could finish his sentence, Latton slapped him hard. “Why?” He asks while holding his throbbing cheeks. “Why didn’t you tell me that the trial had ended? I look stupid still waiting for the trial when it's already concluded.” She yelled in anger. Her loud voice started to gather people's attention and it bothered Derek. He held her left arm and whispered in her ear, “I’ll tell you everything in the car. Let’s go,” he stated. In the parking lot, both of them hurriedly entered the car. Latton couldn’t stop breathing rapidly. “What’s happening to you?” Derek asks worriedly. “I’m scared. I’m terrified, and I can't think clearly, Derek.” She says as she shivers in fear. “Your meds might be wearing off.” He explains while holding her hand. He cou
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 133 - Vivian's Task
INSIDE the LAPD, Officer H. Gilberts and J. Peralta are inside the briefing room logging all the information they have on hand. "This is the weirdest case I've ever handled in my life. We have two ladies, the victim and the assailant. Now both of them are victims." Officer J. Peralta mumbles as he arranges the crime photos on the board. "One billionaire heiress that was targeted multiple times and a commoner whose hand got chopped off, we don't know if she's still alive, or is it safe to call it a homicide." "Let's summarize everything we know," Officer H. Gilberts said. "Let's start at the Royal Ascent incident." He added while holding the report. "March 10, Royal Ascent. It is where Miss Taylor attacked Miss Ripley but told everyone that it was the latter who attacked first. Miss Ripley then filed a lawsuit where Miss Taylor was detained by the LAPD but soon got released when the lawsuit was withdrawn. The next incident was on March 31, at the Circle of Hope. When Miss Taylor shot
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 134 - Pills
“I CAN’T live like this,” Alison says with teardrops on her face. “Your daughter keeps on disrespecting me and there’s nothing I can do about it, because what am I even to you? I can’t even get inside the manor without being shooed away like an animal.” She added while holding Albert’s arm tightly. “Don’t say that. We need to wait for my daughter to recuperate and everything will be back on track. Our wedding plans, moving to the manor…” “What if she didn’t recuperate? Will I just wait?” She shouted. Albert’s gaze darkens instantly, then unintentionally grabs her thigh forcefully, “Don’t you ever say that. Latton will recover from this.” “She will. I will do everything, so she won’t end up like her grandma. I will institutionalize her if needed,” he said to himself. She starts wailing loudly. He closes his eyes, holds the bridge of his nose, and heaves deeply, "How about we take this one step at a time?" He said with exhaustion. She lifted her gaze, "What do you mean?" She asked
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 135 - Eviction
AS HIGH as a kite. Latton marched to Albert's home office only to see Kirby seated in the foyer. Patiently waiting for his boss's next commands. She smiled at Kirby, and the latter smiled back. Concurrently, Derek saw her and was about to speak to her about the gossip he heard from the maids about Alison moving to the manor. Something that he too doesn't want to happen. "Thalia inside the manor is bad enough. Adding Alison to the mix, a total stranger would be chaotic," he said to himself as he followed Latton's movements. Before he got to her, she had already entered Albert's room. He gasped, "This is bad," he mumbled to himself. He tried to open the door, but it was locked. All he could do was sit beside Kirby and wait for what would happen next. Inside Albert's home office. He was busy reading through the documents he missed while he was staying with Alison in the hospital. "Happy to see you are back. Thought you already forgot about us." Latton says mockingly. Shortly she s
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 136 - Fall From Grace
DEREK is in a dilemma. He was caught in the middle of his father and Latton's feud. After Latton evicted their father from the manor, he reached out to him and asked to meet for lunch the next day. Inside the Royal Ascent VIP room. "Derek, I called you here today to tell you that your sister needs help. She needs to be institutionalized, and I can't do it without your help," Albert explains. Derek gasped in disbelief. "My sister is not crazy. She might be disrespectful, but she is still sane," he pointed out. "You're right, she is sane. What I'm pointing out is her addiction to painkillers. When I talked to her yesterday, I saw the look in her eyes and she said it herself, she's high." Albert declares. Derek frowns, "Painkillers? The same medicine that you, yourself, forcefully introduced to her. You kept on asking the doctor to give her a higher dosage. Have you forgotten about that?" he exclaimed. "I know it's my fault, Derek. Everything is, and there's no one much more disappo
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 137 - Where’s Miss Ripley?
[Mature Scene ahead] “WHY?” “Why do we need to put everything to a halt just because your daughter is not here?” Alison screamed at the top of her lungs. Veins in her forehead and neck start to bulge, and her eyes fill with rage and a malevolent aura. But Albert is too preoccupied with the scene in front of him to notice how she looks. The room is trashed beyond recognition. The sheets and curtains were torn to pieces. The bed was deformed as if it had been stabbed multiple times. The paintings, clothes, and even the drawers are thrown on the floor. Albert could only sigh and slowly back away from the room. “I’m still talking to you. Come back in here!” She yelled. Every word made her look crazier. “Calm yourself, and we’ll talk,” he yelled back. “Look at yourself,” he added in dismay. “She’s even harder to be with than Latton and Thalia combined.” He thought to himself while walking away from her. "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" She yelled in frustration and slammed the door hard. After a f
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 138 - Fly me to Hawaii
LUCIAN is still trying to adapt to the changes in the office. Aside from returning as CEO and the changes in his position. He also clashes with the new C.O.O., Victor York, and the team he brought with him. Victor slowly kept on adding his friends and known colleagues in the Caldwell incorporated to get the upper hand and control in the company. It was still a question to Lucian why his father let it happen and why the board members suddenly gave their full support to Victor. No doubt, he is rich and a good investor, but not suitable for a C.O.O. or any position as his abilities are lacking. Surprisingly, apart from their clashes, Victor pulls through in all his tasks, and in every exemplary work he does, threatens Lucian's hold of the CEO position. He also notices Victor is always on a business trip every other day, and he feels something ominous about it, but is unsure what it is. "Whatever you are planning, Victor. I will be ready for it," he mumbled while glancing at the newly
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 139 - Trauma
[WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS AN UNSETTLING SCENE] EARLY in the morning, Albert was in the middle of a meeting with Alison when he received a call from an unknown number. He doesn't want to answer the call, but there's a voice in his head telling him that he needs to, when he answers it. He is surprised to know that it is Latton telling him that she was released from the facility and will not return home for a while. Before he could even object, the call was already disconnected, and when he tried to dial the number, it could not be reached. He frowned, "What are you planning?" He thought to himself as he tightly gripped his phone. Alison saw the look on his face and asked, "Who was it?" "Latton," he mumbled. "She's out of the rehab, but she's not coming back," he added with gloom on his face. Alison scoffed, "Don't worry about her. She's broke, she'll return soon." He heaves profoundly, "You're right. She's just acting stubborn. When the money in her pocket runs out she'll r
