Candy's eyes were already teared up. Why does life have to be so cruel to the little boy? First, his dream was taken away, then his mother was abused, and lastly, he was in danger.

"What happened to him? Please tell me he didn't die," Candy whispered, desperate to hear his answer. Diego's narration felt real as if he was present.

"After struggling and screaming for help, he got lucky when a woman whose husband was a firefighter passed by. That was how he was saved," he concluded.

Candy breathed out in relief. "That was intense. What happened next?"

"It's late already, sleep," he kissed her forehead.

"But what about the remaining part? I really want to know what happened to the boy," she pouted. The man kissed her lips, muting her.

"I'll tell you everything later, it's late already," he said gently. Candy felt her tired eyes closing. She wrapped her arms around him tighter and slept off that way.

For a long while, Diego stayed motionless as he stared at the ceiling, drowned in his own

    "You've got to be kidding me," Candy mumbled after hearing the shit Mr. Henry had said to Diego over the phone."You're his father's closest friend, why are you doing this? What the hell do you want from him?" Candy asked gritting her teeth."I'm just going to teach him a lesson for looking down on me. Something his father dares not to. I'll either kill you or his best friend. That way he'll learn," Mr. Henry spoke leaning close."Let Jameson go!" Jackie's voice sounded beside Candy."Oh, you're awake," Henry smirked. Jackie had actually passed out in fear and had woke hearing Mr. Henry planning to hurt either Jameson."Jameson did nothing to you beside, he really need help. He fucking bleeding!" Jackie face contorted in fear. Candy eyes widened."Then I should kill your sister," Mr. Henry asked. Jackie shifted her gaze to Candy and bit down her lips."You shouldn't have come," Jackie muttered."I can't just leave you here with this asshole," Candy said, then got hit on the face by Mr

    "Let him go," Diego demanded, his gaze cold."Haha, funny. You're the cold new dude in school, right? Better mind your business...""This is my business. Now let him go," Diego spoke again, his voice colder than before.The one who seemed to be the leader walked towards Diego and smirked."Would you like to join him?" he asked."I'm afraid your bones won't be intact if I do. Now leave with your crew while I'm being nice," Diego stated, and the boy scoffed. He tried punching Diego, but that turned out to be his wildest mistake.Diego twisted his arm and flung him to the floor. Dropping his bag, he stepped on the boy's shoulder and pulled his arm hard, dislocating his joint.The boy's scream rent the area. Letting him go, Diego faced the others, who were all shaking in fear."Boo!" Diego exclaimed, and the other boys scurried away. Even the one with the broken shoulder stood and left in tears.Diego turned his gaze to Jameson, who tried to stand. He ignored him and began to leave, but J

    **Years Ago**"I don't think I can until I repay you," young Jameson said. "With my life," he added, and Diego frowned."Stop saying nonsense and fuck off. Should I break your bones too?" Diego glared."No, you won't," Jameson chuckled. Diego's face loosened a little, and he stared closely at Jameson's face."Have we met?" Diego's question caught him off guard."Not really," Jameson replied."You're the boy from the hospital," Diego cut in. He had seen Jameson when he was rushed into the hospital when he regained consciousness for a second. Diego added, "I knew I knew you from somewhere.""Ha," Jameson scratched his head awkwardly. "Can we be friends then?""No," Diego replied firmly and began to walk away."Why?""You'll die.""Aww, so you care about me.""No, I don't!" Diego snapped at him. "You don't owe me anything. Don't make me regret saving you back there. Maybe I should have left the boys to beat you up.""But you didn't. I'm stuck with you, bro.""Don't call me that.""You hu

    However, Diego was seated amidst dead bodies, surrounded by blood, as he listened to the fast-approaching footsteps of the other men.They all appeared from a distance and halted in fear upon seeing the scene."Glad you're here—" Diego stood up slowly. "My anger ain't settled yet.""Shoot!" one of them ordered. Diego immediately held up one of the dead bodies, blocking the bullets from reaching him. He walked quickly towards them and shot the first man in the mouth. Dropping the body, he hit the next man who tried to shoot and slashed his throat with a knife.His moves were fast and deadly. They wondered if this billionaire was actually human. The last man standing turned out to be Kelvin, Natalie's assistant.Diego smirked and shot Kelvin four times in the arm, nearly severing it. His scream echoed through the place, his head spinning from the intense pain."Nice to meet you again," Diego growled, pinning Kelvin's neck to the wall, choking him."Please, spare me," Kelvin begged."Onl

    Diego slowly stepped out of the place, the curious gaze of others settled on him except Yazmine, who had passed out from the shocking news and was taken by the nurse, Aiden following them.Candy's heart shattered seeing Diego's look."Jameson is alive now," Diego announced, his gaze devoid of emotion. The doctor had explained why Jameson's situation seemed to worsen... Sickle cell anemia...For a moment, they all didn't believe Diego until the doctor stepped out and said the same thing."He'll be transferred to his ward after a while," the doctor stated and left.Others breathed out in relief at the news. Jackie burst into another round of tears. Only she knew how much those words affected her. She would have blamed herself forever!"He'll be fine now," Candy whispered to Jackie, hugging her."I'm so glad," Jackie's voice croaked.Diego stepped further, walking past them. Candy's eyes never left him."I'll stay with her; you should go to him," Phoenix stepped forward and spoke."Thank

    After an hour, Diego's car arrived at an unknown place. It was quiet and far from the main city. He stopped and walked towards a small building, his hands tucked into his pockets.Entering the dimly lit building, Diego headed straight to a room. As he pushed the door open, his eyes settled on a figure.The man's hands were tied tightly together above his head, his feet not touching the ground as he groaned in pain. His breathing was labored, and he was half-naked.Mr. Henry lifted his gaze to Diego, his lips trembling from the hellish pain he had endured throughout the night."Hmm, I was expecting to see him dripping in blood," Diego frowned, casting a cold glance at the man seated in the corner."I'm sorry, boss," the man quickly apologized."Leave," Diego ordered, and the man bowed before stepping out."Diego, please, son. This is just a misunderstanding..."Mr. Henry's words were cut short by the loud screeching sound of a metal chair being dragged on the floor. The sound stopped,

    With a shaky breath, Hannah heard the cell close behind her. Seeing her news had gotten out, she met with the chief commander and requested to be transferred to somewhere with tight security.Hannah's eyes darted around the small cell, which housed five women dressed in yellow jumpsuits. Never had she thought she would be in such a position, but she had no choice.Diego had killed Henry Maxwell without blinking an eye, meaning hers wouldn't be any different. All her men were down.The women in the cell stared at her with frowns, except the one who was busy sleeping with her back facing them.Not watching her step, Hannah kicked a metal plate, creating a loud noise that woke the last woman sleeping."Oh, fuck, who the hell is making that noise?" The woman asked, irritated by the noise. Hannah frowned, finding the voice familiar."It's the new prisoner, ma'am," one of the other women said.Ma'am? Does that mean the woman on the bed is someone they respect?"New?" The woman on the bed gr

    "I love you so much, Mom. I wish to kiss your cheek right now," Alex said."Sure, baby, come," Candy said.The two boys came running towards her. They kissed each side of her cheek, and Diego sighed."You shouldn't talk or stand while eating," Diego stated."We wanted to kiss our mother. Is that a wrong thing to do, Father?" Andrew asked."I know what you're doing," Diego raised a brow."She is our mother," Alex said from behind."I can take her out on a vacation like I did last time," Diego said, warning dripping from his tone. He seemed to have won again since the boys didn't know what to say."Di," Candy called, seeing the boys' sad look."They are pretending," Diego knew these two devils better than Candy... they were practically him."Di," Candy called again."Fine... I'm not taking only her. Actually, we are all going on a vacation," Diego stated, and the boys squealed with joy.Candy took Andrew onto her lap while Diego took Alex, and they began to feed them.Old Mavis smiled.

    Twins?Shock registered on Diego's face; of course, he wasn't expecting it."What did they say?" Candy's weak voice brought back his attention. She couldn't hear them earlier due to exhaustion."Bring them over," he demanded from the nurses, and the two boys were handed carefully to him. His eyes teared up as he stared at the two blessings.This was his first time holding children—they were his. Never had he thought a day like this would actually come."W...we have twins," his voice trembled with excitement.

    The next day, Jameson and the others were admitted to the hospital to tend to their wounds.Aiden was chatting with Blake when Yazmine appeared."Yaz!" he exclaimed, standing up."Aiden!" Yazmine ran to hug him tightly. Aiden did the same, kissing her neck."That jerk has a girlfriend," Blake muttered. His phone beeped; it was time for him to leave. He gave Aiden one last look and left."Did you miss me that much?" Aiden asked as Yazmine continued to hug him tightly."You have no idea," Yazmine mumbled. "I was so scared when I heard about the bomb. Are you hurt?" she asked, looking up at him."Just a little...""Huh? Where? Let me see," she demanded, checking out his body."Yaz, I'm fine," he assured her, but she refused to listen. Aiden pecked her lips, and she froze."I'm fine," he said again, tucking her loose hair behind her ear.

    Vincent roughly made his way to Hannah's ward. He was a mess, lean and dirty to look at. The man appeared as someone who had lost his world.Opening the door, he staggered in but then frowned, seeing Hannah lying on the floor.He took slow steps approaching her."Hannah?" He called lightly but didn't get any movement from her. "Honey, why are you sleeping on the floor?" He asked, shaking her body.His eyes darted around the room after perceiving a strange scent. His eyes caught a strange container on the table. With slow movement, he reached for it and gasped when he saw what it contained.Poison..."No... no," Vincent shook his head. His eyes caught a paper too, and he took it to read.'It's all my fault. I destroyed the family I had dreamt of, and I hate myself for it. I'm so sorry.'"What? Hannah, no, no... please, you can't do this, no!" Vincent yelled, holding Hannah's body to himself. Tears rolled down his face uncontrollably."Hannah, wake up! What am I supposed to do without

    A bucket of water was poured on his face, prompting his heavy eyes to open. He found Phoenix tied before him too."You didn't find the others?" Noah asked."Not yet... the search is still going on," the built man behind him replied. He was the one who had captured Jameson.Noah returned his gaze to the two and smiled. "Where are the rest of you?""In your ass. You'll need to use your dick as glasses to see them," Jameson's reply almost made Phoenix burst into laughter.Noah stepped forward and punched Jameson in the face, bursting his lips."Gosh, you're so annoying," Noah grumbled. "Bring in the torture equipment. This is going to be interesting."Just then, a figure dressed like one of Noah's men stepped in. His face was covered as he pushed a table forward.

    The men in the room literally choked on their saliva and began to cough. Candy's face turned pale and red. This would be the first time hearing that walking could affect pregnancy. "No, no it doesn't," she shook her head vehemently. She couldn't imagine Diego carrying her all around the house. "Don't worry, wife. I'm strong enough to do that every single day," he replied. "Huh? No, you don't have to. I'm fine." Diego didn't listen as he led her back to the room, placing her gently on the bed. "Wait here, I'll get something to eat," he kissed her forehead and left. Candy's mouth stayed open. Gosh! He is so adorable. She laughed lightly at his reaction seconds ago; it was so cute. Diego came back after some minutes, an alluring meal laid on the tray he was holding. "The chef made this," he stated. "Wow, it looks so good," Candy squealed, smiling like a kid. "Thanks, hubby." "I love your smile so much." His face turned worried again. "Have you gone to the hospital?" "Yeah, I did

    Venessa held her red cheek and shot a glare at Yazmine. "Here is a drink, ex-boss," Jackie said, spilling the water in her hand on Venessa's dress. "You!" Venessa yelled at them as she stepped forward with a glare. "Girl, don't even try what's inside that birdbrain of yours 'cause you'll surely regret it when I shove my heels into your mouth," Yazmine warned, her voice cold as hell. "You're just sad, and trust me, you haven't seen enough. I'll pay you back for what you did to me. We're just getting started," Venessa glared. Yazmine didn't reply. Not that she didn't know what to say, she just didn't want to waste precious saliva because of the dumbass. "You can take the remaining drink," Jackie said, dropping the bottle on the floor before following Yazmine. Yazmine took a deep breath in frustration after driving away from the company, with Jackie seated by her side. "I have no idea what I'm doing," she muttered. "We should find Candy first," Jackie suggested. "Yeah,
