The building was three storeyed and greying in parts. It looked as if it was centuries old with decaying walls and a stench of fungus was lingering in the air. Some of the children were playing in the yard. They wore second hand clothes, some too big for them while others wore clothes too small for them. Most of them were malnutritioned and too skinny for their age.
Cain slowly made his way through the front gate where one of the staff members came to greet him.
“Hello sir,” a stout man in his early twenties greeted him. &ldqu

Lucas was sitting on a long sofa wearing a navy colored tuxedo with a green vest. His blonde hair was brushed back with one strand neatly falling on a corner of his eye. The bright light of the spotlights fell on his charming face, illuminating it while he posed for the cameras like a pro.“He looks really good!” Alya complimented. “Those clothes suit him well.”

For the rest of the day, Jason was in a very bad mood. He was avoiding Alya who wanted to talk to him. Alya was slightly hurt by his behavior.

Jason was a regular at the club so the bartender knew him well.“Name one day when it’s not tough,” he muttered.

Jason and Cain sped towards the factory. Cain was on the phone with his men, giving them instructions.“My men just informed me that Heath Seo was spotted outside that factory we’re heading to,” Cain told him. “How did you know he’d be there?”“I just do,” Jason muttered. Cain was suspicious but he did not ask anything else. He had filled in Jason about what happened at the Tang mansion that morning and even though Jason was tense, he was also worried about Maxwell.“Looks like grandfather took this well,” he muttered.“Well, he never really liked my mother in the first place so he wasn’t too sad seeing her leave,” Cain remarked.

Jason pulled up in front of a restaurant when he suddenly felt the familiar sensation in his heart.“Agh!” he winced when his chest became cold. He was gasping for breath and closed his eyes to lay his head on the steering wheel.“What the hell?” he muttered. “Why is that sensation happening again?”He touched his heart and it was colder than the earlier attacks. Jason was sure that it was a warning sign and that Alya was in immense danger. Flashes of her running through the rain were popping in his head.“Why is she outside?” he whispered. He was so engrossed in his pain that he did not notice a familiar Maybach pulling up behind his car. There was a knock on his window and to his surprise, it was Cain.

Malorie quietly followed Cain to the patio and waited for him to talk. He was quiet for a while before turning to face her.“You should have told me about this,” he began. “That my mom was threatening you. We could have worked something out.”“I wanted to find our child first,” she replied in a small tone. “If I had told you, she might have gotten alerted and killed Billy. I couldn’t take the risk.”Cain stared at her for a while before sighing. “We’re both idiots,” he muttered. “We talk about being on our own but in the end, we let my parents manipulate us…”Malorie was staring at her fingers, unable to understand what to do.
