At around 8 o'clock at night in the parking lot of the luxurious hotel where the gathering was taking place: a fight between two men was taking place. The fight looked to be rather a one sided one."Tell me, who the fuck sent you?" Arthur coldly asked, tightening his grip on Austin's collar, lifting him in the air with no effort."Pfft… I'll never tell." Austin scoffed, as his feet dangled a few inches off the ground.This was not what Austin had expected at all. He was supposed to sabotage Arthur's limousine unnoticed, since he was in his stealthy mode, no one could see him. But to his surprise Arthur was able to see him, and not only that, but the guy was stronger than him in any aspects. Austin had never met someone like Arthur before, he looked more trained than him."I'll ask you for the last time,.. Who the hell sent you?" Arthur asked his voice sending shivers down the assassin's spine, and his cold emotionless eyes were even more scarier.Even so Austin was not going to talk.
Another day. In the Gomez Manor, in another country."You can't involve your son in this business." Elena's husband, Dane Dent said, raising his head to look up at Elena as he sat on the king size bed.Elena raised an eyebrow. "Why not?" She asked, walking to her closet, "He is my son, I don't think there is anyone else more qualified to take over the family business than my son." She added.Dane rolled his eyes irritably. "What about Emile?" He asked hesitantly.Elena raised a brow as she looked at her husband. "What about him?"Dane diverted his gaze from Elena's intimidating gaze, as he replied, "Well… You know.... Emile has proven himself in the past five months that he can be… he can be a good leader… just give him a chance." Dane said.Darting her eyes off Dane, Elena opened the closet. Taking out, taking out clothes. "Maybe, but he is not my blood.… only my blood can take over the Mafia when I die." Elena said bluntly.Dane was annoyed with her response, however he didn't show
There was a brief moment of silence as Arthur held the phone to his ear. Waiting for his mom to speak.Heaving a sigh, Arthur let out, "Just get to it… I don't have the whole day." Arthur said irritably, running his left hand through his silk blonde hair.His mom let out a smile from the other end of the line. "How have you been son?" Elena asked in a soft voice.The fact that she acted like she cared, annoyed Arthur, cause if she cared she would have been there for him. She wouldn't have left him when he was just a kid."Is that why you called, to act like you care?" Arthur asked irritably. Not taking her son's harsh words to heart, his mom let out a soft smile on the other end of the line, as she said. "Your grandma wants to see you." Arthur's mom hesitantly said. Not sure if her son will agree to meet his grandmother. "And your aunt's and uncles too." She added thinking that will make Arthur eager to meet them..Arthur was stunned for a moment. He has a grandma from his mothers si
Arthur let out a sigh, as he stood on the corridor, resting his head on the wall. He was hesitant about meeting Loraines parent. He knew they'll bring up the marriage, and say he and Loraine should now get married, and he was afraid he couldn't say 'no' to them? They were like family to him. And not only that, but when his parents were still alive, his step mom and dad, promised Jared that Arthur and Loraine will get married when they grow up. Not like Arthur had romantic feelings for Loraine anymore, but if Lorraine's parents brought it up, Arthur was afraid he was not going to be able to say 'no' to them. Because he didn't want to disappoint them."Hey." A voice jerked him back to reality. Looking the way where the voice came from, Arthur let out a smile at the sight of Loraine walking towards him. "Hi." Arthur let out, his voice a bit hoarse.Loraine grabbed him by the hand. "Let's go, don't worry, no one is going to force you to marry me… " Loraine said, she turned and looked in
Another day.On a sunny afternoon, Arthur sat in his office, typing something on the computer. A few documents were scattered on the desk. He decided to start focusing on work now, just so he can take his mind off someone.Thinking back to the previous day. Breakfast with the Bowens had its ups and downs. But it went well. Arthur was just glad that Loraine’s parents understood him, and now he doesn’t have to worry about marrying someone he doesn’t love at all.The idea of marriage or being in a relationship terrified Arthur at the moment. Whenever he remembered all the shit Stacey and her family put him through, he shivered inside. But he couldn't help but feel bad for Loraine, cause he knew how she was feeling after he refused to marry her. He was just hoping she doesn't distance herself from him and they can continue to be friends. Loraine was an important part of Arthur's life.Coming out of his thoughts, Arthur let out a sigh, he stood up and picked his cellphone up from the desk
Stacey, was in a good mood after seeing her new boyfriend. But her mood turned sour when her best friend Courtney brought someone up. Someone she just never wanted to hear about again."I mean, are you over him already?" Courtney asked. Her eyes monitoring Stacey's reaction.Stacey furrowed her brows. "What about him… he moved on already, and I think I should do the same." Stacey replied in a confident tone as she elegantly pulled her dark hair back. Courtney just flashed a smile at her friend, as she said. "Well, it's a good thing that you're moving on… just don't put the guy through hell, just like you treated Arthur." Courtney advised with a smile. She believed no one could endure what Arthur had endured.A scoff escaped Stacey's lips. Feeling annoyed at her friend cause she kept on bringing Arthur up, and at the moment, Stacey was trying to forget about him. And it was not going to be easy if someone keeps on reminding her about him. "Can you stop saying that name?" Stacey said w
The meeting was over, and after that Arthur decided to go home and rest.But when he got on the parking lot, to his surprise, his Buggati had a flat tyre for some reason. Which was annoying, and sort of shocking since he remembered his car was checked and maintained before he left.Sighing exhaustingly Arthur stepped out of the car, he took out his cellphone to call one of the workers back home to come and pick him up. But there was no signal in the basement parking lo. Arthur sighed in disappointment.Unbeknownst to him, there was an assassin, close to him, waiting for the perfect chance to attack. The assassin was sent by the same mysterious man, who had sent Austin Philips after him, and after Austin Phillips failed he decided to hire another assassin, and of course this assassin was better trained, and he had never failed a mission in his whole life.The sound of footsteps, had Arthur turn to look at who was approaching him. It was Dawn. She was wearing a black, short office skirt
"Who was that?" Dawn asked, with a concerned look. After Arthur disconnected the call.Arthur turned and looked at her, "My mom…" He replied."Your mom… why didn't you answer it?" Dawn asked."Cause I don't want to talk to her." Arthur replied, sitting carefree on the car seat.Dawn scoffed disappointedly,but she didn't say a word. Arthur didn't understand how lucky he was to have a mom. Dawn thought. If she had the chance to meet her parents, she would give everything in the world for it.Meanwhile somewhere else in the city.Garfield and Stacey arrived in Angeles City, and now they were driving to Stacey's family house, which was on the other side of the city.The ride was a quiet one, as none of them were conversing with each other. Stacey preferred to stay quiet most of the time.' It's funny how some men try too hard to have me. But my baby doesn't try at all though, and it's heartbreaking… but I'll get him back eventually, he belongs to me only.' Stacey thought to herself, leani

After hearing the news that they had been attacked, Dane and Amber rushed outside the room. To their shock when they got to the hall, it was a slaughter house there. A lot of Danes people were laying dead or severely injured on the ground.It was horrible there, and Amber was terrified, she couldn't stay a second longer, as she was afraid she might lose her life just like the people she was seeing laying on the ground. With those thoughts in mind, Amber decided to use tbe back door to escape. She turned to run, but Dane abruptly gripped on her arm. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" Dane asked, confused about what she was doing. This was the time to stick together, was what he thought. But Amber had other ideas, she wanted to save herself."What do you mean? I'm leaving, and if you want to survive too, you must get out of this damn place." Amber said, and then she turned to walk out. But then she heard Dane chuckling, like a mad man, and she couldn't help but turn to look at
Dane knew he had been discovered and it was over for him. And he didn't want to face Elena's wrath, and so he disappeared using his abilities.After Dane disappeared Arthur turned to his mom, with a curt look. "I want you to get out!" He demanded coldly. Everything was his mom's fault… was what he believed. If his mom didn't get involved with Dane, then his parents wouldn't have died. And now he just wanted to kill Dent with his own bare hands, but unfortunately he had escaped."Dear, I'm so sorry…" Elena apologized, but she knew that not even her apology could make up for what she had put her son through. First she left him when he was just an infant, and she never checked on him to se how he was doing, not until when he was about twelve years old. But she didn't stay longer either, she only stayed for a few days and left."Just get out, witch…. You heard my grandson." Christian angrily said.Elena glanced at Arthur before turning and walking out of the dining room, with Kevin followi
"He even used my men to do the job, he used them to take out the guards. And after that he shot Zane Stark and his wife with his own gun."Alvaro dropped a bomb on Arthur and everyone, including his mom. She couldn't believe her husband was the murderer of her ex husband."No, it can't be, you're lying?" Elena didn't want to believe it. She just wished what Alvaro said was lying, but unfortunately it was the truth.She couldn't have guessed that her husband was the one who killed her son's father and his step mom. But why would he do such a thing? "I swear, I'm telling the truth, why would I lie to you?" Alvaro asked, he was shivering in fear. He knew Elena was a cold woman, and she never hesitated to take a person's life.Arthur and his grandfather were angry at Elena after they heard Alvaro's confession, Dane was her husband, so it was her fault. "so, is this all your fault?" Arthur asked, glaring at his mom. He felt betrayed by his mom once again, but this time the pain of getting
Inside the study room, Arthur and his grandfather sat across from each other, while Jared was standing over them, explaining something about Alvaro."Master stark, we have tried for a while, but that criminal doesn't utter a word about the murder…. I'm afraid we are going to have to look for other ways to find the Killer." Jared said to Arthur and Christian.Out of all the people, Alvaro was the only one who knew who killed Arthur's parents, but he had refused to speak, even when they beat him up and tortured him, he didn't tell. And that's because he was afraid that if he tells, he and his loved ones might die a painful death, as the people or person who killed Arthur's parents were dangerous, and they wouldn't hesitate to harm him or the people close to him.Arthur was disappointed with what Jared just said. "Well, so are you just going to hand him to the police now?" Arthur asked."No, not until he talks," Christian Stark said. There was no way he was going to hand Alvaro to the po
"My son, might have just reached another level of hatred for me, and it's all because of you." Elena angrily said. Danes expression saddened. "Honey, I'm sorry I didn't mean to." He apologized. But deep down he wasn't even sorry, it was what he wanted. He would do anything to make sure Arthur and his mom don't make up. After all if that happens, then that means Arthur would take his place as the next head of the Mafia. And he didn't want that, and there was no way he was going to let it happen.'Looks like i couldn't eliminate the bastard just like I did his daddy and step mommy, but I guess I'll have to use other means to get him out of the picture and get what I want.' Dane Dent thought to himself.Meanwhile outside the Villa on the garage.'Well, that explains why she left, for all these years.' Arthur thought to himself as he was sitting on his car, tapping his fingers on the wheel.Sighing exasperatedly, he rested his head on the seat, and his thoughts drifted to Amber. Who woul
There was silence between Arthur and Stacey for sometime.Honestly, Arthur would be lying to himself if he said he didn't still love Stacey. He still did. Maybe not as much as he loved her before, but he still did love her, more than he could love any other love interest. "So, you and my mom… you get along pretty well." Arthur said, with a smile as he raised his head to look at Stacey.Stacey smiled back, and sat on the sofa next to him as she replied. "Yeah, we do get along pretty well, she is a nice woman." Stacey said sincerely. "You're lucky to have a mother like her." She added. Elena had been so nice to her, and in a short time, she had become more of a mother to her, than her real mom was.Arthur chuckled lightly. "Yeah, she left me and my dad when I was just a baby, so tell me how lucky I am." Hearing Arthur talk badly about his own mother, Stacey frowned slightly, and then she looked Arthur in the eyes, as she said. "Well, I think she had no choice, and there was reason beh
Due to anger and wanting to intimidate Elena, she can stay out of her way, Amber decided to tell Elena about all the horrible things she had done, just so Elena could be scared of her and stay out of her way. So she ended up blurting out her motives to Elena, including the fact that she killed Caine and Isaac Duhamel. But little did she know that Elena wanted her to blurt out her secrets to her, in fact she was recording.On top of that, Arthur overhead her. And he was shocked and heartbroken to hear what she was saying. Knowing she had been discovered, Amber didn't try to hide her true intentions anymore.."Amber, we are sorry for your parents' deaths… but it was an accident, no one meant for that to happen." Christian Stark apologized wholeheartedly, as he walked down the stairs into the living room, where Arthur Elena and Amber stood. He still felt guilty for what happened to Amber's parents, even though it was not his flt.Amber turned and looked at him with a cold expression on
Christian Stark was in the study room going through some files. Trying to find something the cops might have missed on the investigation of his son and daughter-in-laws murder case. He couldn't believe that despite his money and power, he still couldn't find the murderer, even after years of investigating. He even hired the best investigators in the world, but even they still couldn't find who killed his son and daughter-in-law.The sound of the door opening had Christian Stark take his eyes off the desk to look at Jared who had just entered the study room. With his head lowered Jared spoke up after some silence. "Karim Fernandez died yesterday, master Stark." Jared humbly said. Christian Stark raised his eyebrows, "What?" He was shocked with the news.Not saying anymore, Jared walked over to the side of the room, where a TV hung on the wall. Grabbing the remote, he turned the TV on. When Christian Stark fixated his eyes on what was on the TV, he was overcome with sadness as he saw
