The next day, in Shanghai, China It was morning in China, and Theodore had prepared for his flight to Phoenix city. He dressed in casual wear, as he found it really comfortable. There was a charming smile on his face as he dragged his luggage with him and left his condominium. When he arrived outside, he hailed a cab and entered it. He didn't drive his car to the airport because there was no point in doing that. It took a few minutes before Theodore arrived at the airport. He paid the driver and got out of the cab, before walking toward the airport. Upon his arrival inside the airport, he saw that both Beatrice and Pearl were already waiting for him. Theodore went to their side with haste. He was surprised when he said, “Both of you came to the airport earlier than I expected”. “Of course, Theodore. Lady Pearl and I ought to arrive at the airport on time. We wouldn't want to miss our flight”. Beatrice replied to him. And after briefly staring at Pearl, who looked dist
The next day,Kendrick's mansion,It was 7am and Brianna was still asleep on Harry's bed. She had not woken up yet because she fell asleep late last night. Ever since the day she returned from her father's mansion, she had been thinking.She had been feeling the urge to tell Kendrick the truth about what her father had done to him that day. She wanted to tell him she wasn't the one who spiked his drink that day, but rather, it was her father's doings. But at the same time, she felt guilty and unfilial. She couldn't bring herself to tell Kendrick the truth, no matter how much she had tried to. Harry, who had already woken up from sleep, got down from bed and left the room because he didn't want to wake his mother. Upon arriving outside his room, Harry was happy to see his father, Kendrick, who was standing close-by to his room, and was answering a phone call. It turns out that Kendrick had been standing outside Harry's bedroom for a long time. And when he heard footsteps of someon
The hospital, Last night, after Kelly had left the hospital with Alastair, Barrett and Garrett returned to their mansion. They arranged the whole place and took their showers, before they returned to the hospital this morning. Barrett and Garrett were both sitting on the sofa that was positioned next to the window. Garrett, who was looking more worried than Barrett, suddenly asked, “Big twin, why hasn't Vivianne woken …” He couldn't finish talking because Barrett exclaimed. “She's waking up!”. Barrett pointed a finger at Vivianne and exclaimed, as he couldn't hold back his excitement. Immediately, Barrett and Garrett stood up from the sofa at the same time. They hurried to Vivianne's side, and their eyes sparkled the instant Vivianne stared at both of them. “Bro- brothers? What are you guys doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in China by now?”. Vivianne's voice was gentle and calm as she asked Barrett and Garrett. She examined her surroundings, before she asked them again, “W
Alastair went ahead to look for Kelly. It wasn't a serious search at first, but after many minutes had passed, and he had not seen Kelly, he began to panic gradually. Alastair's panicking got worse after he couldn't find Kelly anywhere in the mansion. It was almost as if she suddenly disappeared. He returned inside the mansion in a hurry and went to meet butler Robert, who was busy taking care of the household affairs. Butler Robert, who was carefully going through the list in his hand, had to stop what he was doing because of Alastair. Alastair was standing in front of him and was breathing heavily, as if he had run a marathon. “Bu- butler Robert, are you really sure you didn't see Kelly this morning? I can't find her anywhere in the house!”. Alastair said to him without delay. “Isn't lady Kelly in her room, young master Alastair?”. Butler Robert asked him. “Of course she's not in her room, butler Robert. I've searched everywhere, but I couldn't find her”. Alastair re
Warnings: This chapter contains violence and death.Location, An uncompleted building that was located in a remote village. Five men gathered around the lady who was asleep. Their eyes were piercing as they stared at her. They were angry, because the person who had hired them for this job had not yet arrived. “Boss, should we continue to wait for him? We should sell her if he doesn't show up and pay us for the job”. One of the men, who tied a red bandana around his head, suggested. He was the most impatient one among all of them. The eldest man, who happened to be holding a gun, frowned. He was the boss that the guy with the red bandana was talking to. His name was Gunnar, and he was very muscular compared to his lower comrades. Gunnar replied to him, “Be patient, Shark. If that man doesn't show up in the next 15 minutes, I'll make sure that this young lady suffers beyond anyone's imagination. One way or the other, it's going to be fun for us”. The other men agreed with what the
“What do you mean Kelly is in trouble, Alastair? Did anything happen to her?”. Vivianne asked him. “When I woke up this morning, I couldn't find Kelly anywhere in the mansion. And now that I've seen that she's not in the hospital with you, it could only mean one thing”. Alastair paused, talking. Suspense filled the air before he continued saying, “Kelly must be in trouble! I have to find her before it's too late!”. “Wa- wait, wait, Alastair. Why do you assume that Kelly is in trouble? You can't jump into conclusions like this, simply because you don't know Kelly's whereabouts”. Vivianne said to him. She tried to stand up, but couldn't, because an IV was inside her vein. The minute Garrett noticed that Vivianne was about to remove the IV, he rushed and stopped her, by holding her hand. “Don't be reckless, Vivianne. Always think about your health first before you ever act”. He frowned as he said to her. Vivianne sighed. She shifted her attention back to Alastair afterward. Alasta
The mother and daughter spent many minutes crying and cuddling each other. It was later on that they both stopped crying and settled down on the bed. Kelly rested her head on her mother's lap. It had been long since she last experienced the love of having a mother in her life. “Mommy, there's something important I must tell you about. Would you mind hearing me out?”.“Of course, my sweetie. You can tell me about it. I will gladly listen to you”. Debbie assured Kelly, and was gently patting her head in the process.“Mom, I've already discovered that Mr Brooks is not my father. Actually, I've met my real father, Mr Alan. I was living in his mansion before I was kidnapped by the men Mr Brooks had hired”. Kelly explained to Debbie, who gasped in disbelief. Debbie quickly lifted Kelly's head, which was resting on her lap. She began staring at Kelly but didn't know what to say because she was currently speechless. As if Kelly knew what her mother wanted to ask her, she smiled and said, “
Shark had arrived with Mr Brooks in the uncompleted building.He got confused and halted after he saw one of his comrades unconscious on the dusty ground. “What happened here?”. He muttered, as he continued to be confused. Out of curiosity, he went ahead and bent down, before he placed two fingers beneath his unconscious comrade’s nose. He sighed in relief after he confirmed that his comrade was still alive. After standing up and turning to Mr Brooks who was behind him, Shark said to him, “He's alive. No need to panic. I'll figure out what's going on”. “You had better figure out what's going on. I didn't come all the way here to waste my precious time. Where's your boss? And where’s the girl I told you guys to capture for me?”. Mr Brooks demanded an answer. He was quite impatient. “Like I've said, Mr Brooks, I'll figure out what's going on. Just give me some time”. “Fine. I'll give you only ten minutes. Find out what's going on. In the meantime, I'm leaving this place. Whatever ha
“Debbie?”Debbie stood up from bed after she saw Alan. She was staring at him but didn't exactly know what to say to him. As she was about to lower her head in disappointment, that was when Alan rushed towards her and embraced her.“I miss you so much, Debbie!”. Alan continued to hug her as he said. What shocked Kelly was the minute she saw Alan crying. “What?”. She was so stunned because she had not expected a scary looking man like Alan to be crying like a baby. She wanted to stand up, unfortunately, she had no choice but to refrain from doing that because she had stressed her injured leg when she stubbornly went to make food for Debbie, despite the way the chefs had pleaded for her to step aside. “I- I missed you too”. Debbie cried out, before Alan stopped hugging her and held her hands. Alan had a guilty expression on his face as he stared at Debbie's eyes and apologised to her, “I’m truly sorry for blaming you all these years. I should never have doubted you for even a second”
Alastair drove all the way to Mr Brooks' mansion with an angry look on his face. Because the front of his car had the Alvarez logo attached to it, the security guard of Mr Brooks' mansion opened the gates for him without delay. Alastair drove into the mansion before he got out of the car. He had a piercing look in his golden eyes as he stared at the building in front of him. “Brooks! Get out of here this instant!”. Alastair yelled. His blood was boiling with insane anger because he was anxious and worried about Kelly. Since Mr Brooks didn't come out of his mansion, Alastair decided to storm in. But before he could enter the building in front of him, one of the security guards who happened to be sweating on his forehead approached him and said, “Mr Brooks is not around, Mr Alvarez”. “He's not around?”. Alastair muttered, and his eyes darkened, as he became even more suspicious of Mr Brooks. ‘Could he be at his company?’. He wondered. ‘But come to think of it, how did Mr
Vivianne was able to recognise the doctor because he was wearing his doctor's uniform. She was also able to recognise Ray, causing her eyes to darken as she glared at him. “You. I know you. You are one of Mr Brooks’ men who attacked Kelly and I before”. Barrett was staring at Ray, but after hearing what his little sister said, he glared at Ray. He demanded an answer, “You attacked my little sister? How dare you?!”. “Doctor, can you explain to me what's going on right now? Who's that guy standing next to you?”. Garrett asked him after he had started glaring at Ray. ‘This guy doesn't seem like an ordinary person’. He thought to himself because of the way Ray was dressed and had an aura of authority surrounding him. Before the doctor could say anything, Ray walked towards them and introduced himself, “I'm Detective Ray. I came here as soon as I could after confirming that you three siblings were in this hospital. And Vivianne, I'm sorry for what happened between us before. I was
