Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 43 - The Aftermath
BLADE stares blankly outside. He felt he had lost something important. "Something's not right," he said to himself. With a trembling hand, he took his phone out and started to enter her phone number from his memory. Before he could press the call button, he noticed an item on the passenger seat. It's her second phone. She left it in his car. His brows furrowed, sighed deeply and his grip on the steering wheel tightened. Now there's no way of contacting her. He feels frustrated and confused about why he feels that way. He stayed in the parking lot hoping that she would return. Wishing she was out there in the dark corner of the street and would write down his plate number, stalk him, and reach out to him again. * SIEVE walks to the bus terminal, ignoring the pouring rain and the withering look she's getting from the group of people seeking shelter from the rain. Shortly, she reached Willowbrook station. When she entered the vehicle that was bound for Los Angeles, the bus driver star
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 44 - The Talk
GEORGE personally presented the finished project to Albert, and the latter was very pleased with the outcome. After a week, he signed a partnership with Caldwell Incorporated and, as he promised, appointed Lucius Vaughn as his Managing Director, who would have an office inside Caldwell Incorporated together with his team. Everything that needs Ripley International’s approval will go through Lucius and his team. George promised the whole 15th floor to them. Soon his team moved to C.I. and they occupied the 15th floor, but there were so few of them in the team, that the floor looked like a ghost town. Soon, George added a few people from C. I to occupy the floor with them; a few employees also moved from C. I to R. I, under Lucius, since their partnership is more of a soft merging. Now, Albert owns parts of the C. I around 10%, making him a major investor, plus the partnership of their brands giving R. I, the leverage to voice anything they want. Meanwhile, C. I enjoy the R. I’s inter

Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 46 - About Hamilton Contract
JOHN's eyes widened and his mouth slightly ajar in surprise at what he heard. In an eager voice, he couldn’t help but ask, “When?” “Where?” “How?” He felt confused thinking if Sieve was someone from the office. He looked at Lucian intently, waiting for his response. “You met him at the Imperial Mall,” he declares while drinking another shot, drowning his lonesome with vodka. John recollects all the times he went to the Imperial Mall with him and all the people he met, unable to think which one was Sieve. “Tall blonde woman with green eyes,” he says to himself, assuming what she looks like. Like every other girl Lucian sleeps with. “Sometimes they have blue eyes or light brown hair,” he whispers to himself as he touches his chin, lost in his thoughts. He sees how hard John tries to reminisce about figuring out when he met her. Soon Lucian gives in and explains how and when he met Sieve. “You met her by accident 4 months ago, when I invited you for dinner with Viv. She’s the bag
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 47 - He Returns
ALBERT stood in the airport arrival area while waiting for flight 213 to arrive. After several minutes, a familiar figure walks towards him, a man around his 30s, carrying a black backpack while pulling maroon luggage. He was wearing a black jacket and pants paired with white shoes. He has jet-black, clean-cut hair, auburn eyes, a towering height of 6 '2, a pale complexion, as if he hadn't seen the sun for a while, and a face resembling his. It’s his eldest child, his son, Derek. The last time they saw each other was five years ago when he went to Europe for a business trip. He is happy that, after almost 15 years, he finally coaxed his son to return home. Despite that, there's a part of him that is missing. He was yearning for his daughter. "Derek is finally home, but now I don't have Latton with me." He thought to himself as he stared at his son from head to foot. Observing the changes in how he dresses and looks compared to five years ago. - - Derek is his child from his childho
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 48 - They meet again
ALTHOUGH Lucian swore to reinvent himself and stop his series of one-night stands, he still goes out for a drink sometimes with John and Vivian. However, tonight he was alone in the Boost Club. He sat in the bar front staring at the football game that was being televised. All his concentration was on the game, and he did not notice when a woman sat beside him. Seeing that he was preoccupied, the woman then said in a low, alluring soft voice, "It’s been a while. How are you?" Her familiar voice caught his attention and he immediately glanced at the person beside him. "Malena?" He says with coldness in his tone and gaze. "You’re looking at me as if I’m a stranger." She says while staring down and feeling aggrieved. "What are you doing here?" He asks. She slowly moves her hand to him, then says, "I want to talk to you." He heaves deeply then closes his eyes, "Now is not the time, I want to be alone with my thoughts." He says with exhaustion in every word. "But..." Her voice was weak
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 49 - Siblings
DEREK and Latton sat in the bar acting as if nothing had happened. Both of them are drinking whiskey on the rocks. The ambiance is silent and awkward, but Derek mustered the courage to speak first. "In my defense, you look different. You have loss a lot of weight and you loo...k.." He cleared his throat, then glanced away from her and let his words linger without continuation. Latton glanced at him clearly waiting for him to finish speaking, then sighed when she had noticed he had no plan to finish his sentence. "That’s not an excuse for being a perverted jerk," she explains while staring at her glass. "Point taken." He responded while swirling his whiskey. She lowered her head then asks, "Are you happy?" He was startled by her question and did not answer. "Are you happy seeing me like this? A failure and a fucking alcoholic." She added as she lifted her glass and gulped the liquor in one go. “I should be, but come to think of it…” He coughs then continues speaking. “We are you
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 50 - Conservatorship
ALBERT is happy to know that Latton was back at the Manor. He stopped eating and let go of the cutlery he was holding and dashed to Derek’s room. Derek and Catherine were dumbfounded at how Albert acted, but they just let him do as he pleased and they continued eating. He stood in front of the bed staring at his daughter, whom he hadn't seen for almost 5 months. He admired how calm and peaceful she looked, totally different from the last time he saw her in Turkey. He remembers the day Latton walked out the door to travel to Turkey for her prenup photoshoot with Thomas. The sky was dark, and it was about to rain. She looks at her father with disappointment on her face. Unyielding, he stared at her sneering like a tyrant sending out his daughter to her death. That day he also traveled to Turkey on a different flight. When he arrived in the country, he secretly followed Latton and Thomas and watched how his plan took its course. At first, he followed them in a restaurant where they wer
