Rylan was back at him. He found that Morgan and Edmund made huge havoc and were almost on the point to kill the guards who were following them.“Dad!” He exclaimed when he found that Edmund was about to hit the trigger and kill the man at the gunpoint. He got a bit afraid that they might actually kill him, and not just threaten him. Little did he know that if he would have not appeared, the guy was long gone.“You are here?” Edmund took his hand back, unloaded the gun, and put it back in his pocket, “Where have you been all this time? Where is your mother?” He asked as he walked to him and took him in his arms.“She—” Rylan was not sure what he should say. He had promised that he would never leak any information he had about her, “She said she wanted to reminisce her past a little bit.” “What the hell?” Morgan exclaimed as he cut off their conversation and looked at Rylan from head to toe, “What in the world are you wearing, you look so cute.” He said as he pinched the tiger costume’
“Are you saying that my uncle is your father now? For real? You never cared for him, and now that he is on his deathbed, you are here claiming to be his son!” James yelled at him in anger. Edmund stopped in his tracks and looked at him, saying, “What the hell did you mean by that?”“I mean literally what I said!” James said and turned to walk away from there, but Edmund stopped him and said, “I am here to see him, to talk to him, and it is really urgent.” He inquired as to what was wrong with General Mu.“You are a little too late; he is not doing well and may not be able to see the next month’s morning,” James said. He spoke in a serious tone that made Edmund’s body shiver in fear, a fear that he had never felt before.fear of being an orphan once again.“Fine, you do not need to tell me all these things; just tell him that I am here to see him,” Edmund said, trying his best not to choke.“Wel… you can see him; it might be the last time you see him, but he is sleeping in his room ri
One Month ago, “Christ, where are we?” Cherry asked in her groggy state. She rubbed her eyes and held onto her big belly“I do not know; I am not sure what is going on here,” Christ said as he helped her sit up properly. She was already five months pregnant.“What do you mean? Did you not get an urgent call from the office? Were we not in the car?” She asked as she tried to look around but all she saw was an unknown place.“Yes, but after that, I know nothing. I do not have my cell phone nor any way to leave this place.” Christ said as he punched the wall.“Calm down. Before that, we need to confirm that brother is not here,” Cherry said as she looked at him, to which Christ took her to another room and showed her Ryan in an unconscious condition.“What the hell! Why is he like this? And who did this to us?” Cherry inquired, her eyes welling up as she watched her brother lying still on the bed.She had watched him in that condition for the past four years, and once again he seemed t
Lucy was racing her mind to figure out what Ryan meant by what he said. She was not sure why she would know about the place where he would keep the papers.She was still racing her mind when Rylan sneaked into her room and closed the door behind him.“Mom, what are you thinking?” he asked as he shook her hand.“Oh, Lan, I—I was thinking about what your father said; I mean, I want to rewatch that video, but I do not want to sneak in again,” Lucy said, to which Rylan told her not to try, otherwise, his uncles would probably kill someone."I know, but I need to find out, and I have to watch that video again," Lucy lamented.“Mom, here!” Rylan smiled and handed her a pen drive, saying, “I took out dad’s pen drive; I thought we might need it.” He said and asked Lucy about the phone numbers of the missing people: “And mom, I want the phone numbers of those who are missing, and—” He was still talking when Lucy hugged him and squeezed him in her arms.“Baby, you are the best.” She said that a
“I know, but can you try to understand us? We did not tell you because of the way you were acting.” He said that and tried to feed her, but she turned her face away from him.“Do not try this on me, brother. "Earlier in the day, I did not respond to brother Morgan because he seemed extremely enraged, but if he comes to me now, I would rather kick him out of the world than hear anything from him," she said, requesting that he leave her alone but Edmund was adamant to stay with her.“Brother, you are too much,” Lucy said and came out of her bed and asked him what he would do if she would disappear one day and no one told him. Edmund had no idea how to counter her questions, he knew he should have told her about Ryan but the poison was just taken out of her body and any outburst would have cost her, her life. It was not like he wanted to hide it but he had to!“Put the plates down, I will eat!” Lucy said after thinking a bit. She, at first did not want to eat anything and go on a hunge
Edmund went to his room, followed by Morgan, who kept on asking him to say something but did not say anything. “What? Why are you making that face?” Morgan said as he sat on the couch and gazed at Edmund, who was sitting on the bed.Morgan sat there for a while, waiting for his answer, and then stood up in frustration, saying, “Fine, I am sorry! I should not have said all those things to her, ok? I know what I said was more than expected!” He said this and turned to leave, but Edmund stopped him.“It was good!” Edmund said and asked him to go back and sit. "I might not have been able to tell her those things, but she's not wrong. I guess we are the ones who hurt her, and somewhere our love for her became toxic without us knowing!” Morgan fell silent. He knew what he said to Lucy was hurtful, and he should have controlled himself, but he was not wrong.Morgan could have been toxic to her, as he could do anything to keep her safe and alive, even if he had to hurt her feelings and then
Lucy was taken aback to see her brother in pain and questioned whether their love was truly toxic for her. So she decided to tell them the reason why she did all these things and that she never intended to hurt them. “Today, when I ditched your men, I and Ah Lan and broke into Ryan’s house, and there we found some videos that he made because he was losing his memories one by one!” She spoke up and told him what was in that video. “Seriously? Is that why you are calling us toxic? Just to commit treason?” Morgan asked as he rolled his eyes. “No! I never wanted to say something that would hurt you; it came out of nowhere, and I am really sorry for that! I really do!” Lucy apologized again and again. She decided to do it until she was forgiven. Edmund looked at Lucy’s face, all wet from tears and eyes red, and took her hand and made her sit beside him on the bed. “You do not need to apologize; we know you are sorry, and that is more than enough for us. But you have to understand one t
[ Sorry for the previous inconveniences, kindly read the previous chapter to continue this one, and also, congratulations, we just crossed 250 chapters. Happy Reading.]“Come on, I liked him because he helped me, but the territory to my heart was already marked by young master Song, the way before I met Christ, so I had no problem in letting him go.” Lucy tried to explain herself but when she turned to look at them, they were making a nauseating faces.“What the hell are you guys doing?” She asked as she looked at them.She was not out there to discuss her love life with her elder brothers, it was really weird. But it seemed liked her brothers were not in the mood to let the topic go.“What are we doing? Seriously? Marked the territory and all? I mean, Ed might not be able to ask you, but I really want to know why the hell you like that Ryan guy?” Morgan said to which Edmund agreed.“Certainly not because he is the father of your child?” Edmund said as he avoid any eye contact with he
"Why are you being like this brother?" Lillian exclaimed. She wanted to be with her father but her brother was not letting her be with him."I am not stopping you from doing anything, you can go and see him if you want to," He said, "But do not involve me in this," Rylan said and asked her to leave him alone but it seemed like Lillian was determined not to leave him, since she did not want to be only person to make up with their father, she wanted Ryan to understand and give their father a chance, he deserved it.
Ryan was stunned to see how Edmund took care of his sister. To be honest, he himself would not have been able to take care of her if it were not for him. When they were on their back to Country A, she did not say a word and have kept quite, but the way she talked to Edmund, it made him a little jealous. He wanted to be as close as him with her but she never was this close, or was it because she had always known what he did not Lucy back in the days, that mde her highly depressed that she leave them in end.
“If you want to work, go look for your own office, I want to be alone here.” General Mu stated in his usual strict tone, which made everyone think that he had just threatened their innocent Boss Mu, “Are you not going to talk anymore?” General Mu pointed at the phone. Elison said nothing to him and calmly repeated his question to the secretary, and in response, he was told that they would be arriving any time. But truth to be told, the shareholders had already arrived and they were hearing all the stories that were circulating and decided to hear the problems of the employees, as per the company policy, they decided to hold a hearing in the meeting that was about to be held in half an hour, and as per the rule, everyone in the office present, could see the hearing through the live video. “Do not worry, we will take care of this, and trust me we are taking it really seriously,” Joseph, one the closet and oldest friends of Elison Mu said, “I can never let anyone mistreat my best frien
General Mu was in the office with his brother, he had not been in the business for a long time but his brother, Elison, he kept on arguing him to join the business since he was about to take his once and for all retirement from the arm forces.Elison had argued with him to help him since he was getting old and it was hard for him to take care of all the things, to which Edward (General Mu) had declined him plainly, but when Elison blamed him for taking his son away with him to the services, inspiring him to be a doctor just like himself, and leaving him all alone to do all the work back at home, he just could not take it and agreed to him. And for the last two months, he had been forced to come to the office.Sitting at the chairman’s seat and singing all kind of papers from morning till night, under the eyes of his brother, he just could do nothing and sincerely help him with the business. A rumor circulated in the entire Mu Corporation that General Mu had forcefully acquired the se
Edmund paced to and fro in the room, and thinking about what he should do, if he should wake her up or let her be, but in the end, he walked to Cherry and found her sleeping so he took a chair and waited by his side for her to wake up, but it seemed like the careful sounds he made while walking and picking up the chairs were not careful enough and woke her up. Cherry had been sleeping since the moment she entered, just like Christ, she was given some injections too, to calm down her nerves, which led her to sleep deeply. But since Cherry had a lot of things in her mind that even the injection did not work on her and she had a lot of nightmares from her childhood, about how Lucy had to run, had to pay debts, work four jobs a day, provide for her, and whatnot all her life, that she had tried really hard to forget that it was dancing right in front of her eyes. But when she woke up, Edmund was the last person she had expected to see in front of her eyes. She was stunned to the core that
“I am not really sure, but I think, Cherry is not doing very well, and we might need a psychiatrist for her,” Charles expressed his worries. He knew what Cherry might be feeling, but the problem was that, that she might not want to go to the doctor for her mental illness, she just needed a normal counseling, and given the fact that how stubborn she was, she would never agree to it.“Hi, what are you worried about?" James said as he stood up and patted his shoulder, “Dude, you know what, our big brother Edmund,” He said and smiled proudly, “He is not only a successful businessman but, he also is a good psychiatrist, and he just went to my room to have a talk with Cherry.”“What? I was never told about that!” Charles said in shock. He really did not know about this face and asked how he knew to which James told him that it was Ryan who told him about this when they were on their way back to here, and he was also the one who helped Lucy overcome everything.“So, my dear brother, we need
Edmund walked towards the Cherry’s room and pushed the door, and he noticed that the door was locked from the inside. He tried to knock on the door, but no one answered, neither he hear any voices coming out of it.“What is going on?” He said to himself in a low voice, and then walked to the window, “Damn it! Even the windows are covered here!” He said and tried to take a peek inside the room. He just wanted to make sure that Cherry and Christ were not doing any thing intimate, which might make things inappropriate if he entered there without announcing his presence.Thankfully, he saw Lucy on the bed, lying all alone. After his suspicion was confirmed, he went to the door and knocked once again. To be honest, he had noticed the key in there, but he just did not want to badge in just like that, so he wanted to wait for them to open the door, but when they did not give him any response, he just decided to do some thing that he never would do to his sister, well… unless it was not very
James had been pacing back and forth because he was so concerned about Cherry. He wanted to see how Cherry was doing and wanted to talk to Christ, but they had locked the door from the inside. He waited for a while in front of his room, but when no one responded even after a while of knocking on the door and calling their names from the outside, he decided to walk away from there and go see what his mother was doing, and he even had to give a call to General Mu and his father. He had left his mother crying, and they were all worried about this situation.First of all, she was completely unaware of Cherry and her family's had been kidnapped. She only knew that she was pregnant and was taken by Ryan to some neat and clean place for the child’s birth, but when he took Cherry and Christ back to his home, she was surprised and welcomed them back, but when she got to know the back story of all these things, she was just shocked and stunned. She did not know how to react. Mrs. Mu wanted to t
“I am shocked that you are calling me auntie!” Mrs. Mu thought to herself as she looked at Edmund.“Should I not call you that?” Edmund said when he heard that, which made Mrs. Mu cover her lips with her both hands, and then she asked in a low voice, “Did I say that too loud? "Did I say it too loudly for you to hear?"Edmund could not help but smile at what she said, it was too cute to see her like this, “Yes, you did think it was too loud that even Ricky could hear that,” He said and looked at Ricky for the answer, to which Ricky just nodded at him in response and told her that he did hear what she just said.Mrs. Mu could not help but feel embarrassed, “I am really sorry. I never meant to be this rude. It is just that, You never addressed me in that way, so I was a bit overwhelmed and shocked with some kind of immense happiness, and that was why.” Mrs. Mu said as she tried to justify herself, which made Edmund chuckle, as he wiped her tears and asked her to calm herself down.“Calm
