The day of the Beach Party of Benilde finally came, Marcus was nervous for his plan to take Beatrice with him, his father offered to help him reveal his identity but he didn't approve of it, he realized that he needs to do this by himself.Early in the morning, he prepared his clothes since it will be a whole day and he'll spend the night at the beach.As soon as he finished, he went to his car and loaded his things and drove off to the company, where he'll snatch Beatrice with a prank.Beatrice was at the entrance of the company with his team since they were granted a getaway from their new chairman as a gift for their contributions, everyone was excited and happy until Beatrice was confronted by Drake Hart, the chairman's secretary."Ms. Beatrice Ford, unfortunately, the chairman wants you to go to his office to question you about the new research of your team, don't worry since the chairman promised to give you a ticket to any country you would like after." Drake
Beatrice was clueless where she was being taken in, she was dragged by Marcus while she was in shock, she later on realized that he had his reasons and prolonging her disappointment won't do anything good, she felt that he's extremely sincere anyway.Half an hour had passed, they surpassed the trademark long traffic of Queensland, they arrived at the airport to her surprise."W-where are we going?" She asked in a low voice, still shy and accepting the fact that she's with her boss.Marcus sighed and looked at her, atleast she's not that cold like earlier anymore, "In Seasland, it was a province where tourists naturally wouldn't wanted to miss and Benilde choose it as the venue." Beatrice was in awe, She has never been to Seasland, for it was very far and expensive and she was always busy at work but what shocked her even more was that it was not an ordinary beach party."Benilde you said? Did I heard it right?" She asked."Yeah you still got a clear hearing."
At the famous Vacasea Beach in Seasland, many rich businessman and women gathered in their outing outfits, either old or the youngsters are all enjoying the party as it looks like an unwinding celebration for all of them but not for the others who were born killjoys.Marcus and Beatrice was excited to hang out not for the party itself, however, they didn't realize that their presence wad being monitored by the Benilde, who was eager to build up with a relationship with him.Even other rich businessman and women was discreetly waiting for the young master of Eastwood to arrive, although they knew Eastwood just destroyed the Corden, they wanted to take the risk and just be kind to him, besides, the Corden has always been sly as fox so it surely because they offended the young master greatly.One of those are the Thayers family, Gilbert Thayers was so eager to create a friendship between his family and the Eastwood since he's also climbing up the hierarchy steadily, he's c
Hershey was so focused on every of his movement that Marcus have felt it the someone's observing him with his sharp senses, it wasn't like those others who sneak a peak on him, this one's bold enough.He looked at the woman who was eyeing him focusedly and realized who it was, Hershey Thayers.His cold stares sent shivers to her spine, Hershey was startled that Marcus looked at her quickly as if he knew she was eyeing him for long time, he got skills!Hershey tugged his grandfather's polo gently and whispered, "Grandpa! Marcus Eastwood is already here!" Gilbert who was very focused on discussing business with a fellow old man immediately stopped the moment he heard the name."Where?" He asked.Hershey pointed Marcus who's now turned back at them, even his back was so broad enough to capture women's interest."Go greet him!" Gilbert urged her, but the moment she saw Marcus hold hands with a girl beneath the table, her heart became weak."B-but, he's alrea
"T-that is the famous auctioned ring of the previous king of England!""How could he casually give it as a gift?""I wish it was my birthday, so I get to have that ring.""That cost a hundred million!""W-what?!"Most of the guests realized what Marcus had shown, it looks old and cheap on the outside but definitely a treasure, it justifies the quote "never judge a book by its cover."Everyone who looked at him with ridicule immediately became puppies praising him.Antonio Benilde was also shocked and speechless while still looking at the ring."Mr. E-Eastwood, a-are you sure this is mine?" He was stuttering as he asked, deep inside wishing that he will said yes."Ofcourse, Mr. Benilde it's yours." Marcus said with a matter of fact, why would he grab back his gift? because it's a hundred million dollar? that won't happen since it's a gift to tame them, it would make them lick his feet and plead to make them his lackey.Marcus really became more intel
Beatrice woke up feeling comfortable, her back didn't ache like how it used to since her bed in their house was so hard as it's strings were about to go off, they can't afford to buy one.She took her time closed eyes while enjoying the soft mattress, until she realized she was hugging a hard pillow.Hard Pillow? She thought only her bed can be hard! Suddenly, she felt an arm wrapped around her waist, her eyes opened wide.Glancing at her side, she was shocked to see a topless man with a spectacular face, nevertheless, she only realized, her hands pushed him in impulse.A loud band of his body surrounded the room."Ow f**k, it hurts!" Marcus grunted.He forced himself to get up while holding his back like an old man who can't walk straight, she immediately felt sorry."M-marcus, Sorry! I didn't realize I was not home, I thought someone barged into my room!" She apologized.Marcus glanced at her and smiled."It's okay, I'm sorry I didn't realize my
Days passed like it was nothing to Marcus, he was definitely busy with handling businesses, but he couldn't forget the kiss he shared with Beatrice in the beach.Both of them went busy after coming back to Queensland, Beatrice with experimenting new food recipes and him, on managing bigger and bigger businesses, He hasn't even went to Esper Go Food eversince he came back, his father wanted him to manage more and bigger companies.He definitely missed her, he can't sleep without hearing her voice so they definitely were calling eachother atleast every night before sleep, and exchange messages and updates on day.Beatrice finally gave in and told him she's approving of his feelings since she feels the same way, but she definitely made it clear that he needs to court her first.In the dining room, Marcus and Marcos was dining, maids and butlers are also dining at the kitchen since they don't feel the necessity of being looked while eating.The two were talking
Marcus brought Beatrice to an expensive restaurant called Deluxe Cuisine, it was a five minutes drive from Esper since it's where he planned his plan.As soon as the two went out of the car, Beatrice noticed that there seems to be no one inside, lights were dim as if the restaurant is closing already."Marcus? I think it's not open maybe we should find another place?" She said."Don't worry, it's naturally like this here." Marcus retorted and grabbed her hand towards the entrance.A guard suddenly popped out inside the entrance and opened the door, Beatrice was startled."What the.."Marcus chuckled, it was definitely startling.The guard smiled at them, a staff came out of nowhere and assisted them to the table in the middle with a bouquet of roses, and lit candles."Flowers again? should I start a flower shop?" Beatrice joked, she sniffed the roses as usual and it was the same as the first one, it was fragrant unli

Hex and Dex was shivering in fear the whole time they were waiting that they completely forgot that they have guns with them.Marcus was whistling, he didn't call his backup first to make them shocked later, he's about to drop a bomb after all, and it will surely drift the allies apart.He couldn't wait to watch.The Goofers and Marcos was still at home, they haven't heard from Marcus for already almost an hour."Shouldn't we go now? Marcus might get ambushed or what!" Wilma panickingly asked."I think so too." Roland agreed.Marcos was in deep thoughts, he figured that Marcus might encounter bad happenings, he's less experienced after all, intelligence and strength doesn't always win."Okay, let's go!" Marcos immediately stood up and lead the way.At that moment, Henry and Harry Warner arrived at the abandoned building, Jasper Reed also arrived anxiously.They rushed inside making again a noise of the rusty metal door.Marcus grabbed his phone and texted an unknown number."It's your
Marcos drove furiously to the boundary of Nightlock and Housland, he didn't care about the traffic regulations as if was already midnight after all, few cars are only left on the road.Originally, it would take him two hours to get there but he only took thirty minutes since there was no traffic.He reached the dark and houseless area where a big abandoned factory lie, from below, he could see the a light that was turned on in the second floor.He didn't wasted more time as he walked fast to the entrance, he pushed the rusty steel door that creates a loud screeching noise, Hex and Dex immediately knew he arrived.Marcus's footsteps emanated, Hex and Dex felt relieved as he did not bring other people, it was just a lie when they said they monitor everything after all.The footsteps became louder and louder as he nears, the twins became excited, it has been spreading that Marcus is strong, they wanted to take him down and became the new kings of the country.Beatrice was sitting on the c
Marcus woke up feeling dizzy, the first thing he saw was the black ceiling of his room, he sat on the side of his bed and remembered what happened.From the start until Beatrice was kidnapped, he also remembered that he was injected a sleeping dose to calm him.He swiftly stood up and went outside, it was still dark outside, he glanced at the clock and saw it was already 12:30 am."Dad! I need to find Beatrice! please help me." He said as soon as he saw Marcos."Calm down son." Marcos calmly said, deep inside, he was nervous too, it's already four hours."Marcos, We've found her." A woman around his father's age came, he suddenly realized that it was Wilma Goofer! behind her was Roland.They were holding a laptop, they placed it in the counter top, Marcus remembered that they were said to be hackers according to Herbert Hill."Your hackers can't do anything, Beatrice was brought to a signal less area in between Housland and Nightlock, those bastards, that's just near our house." Wilma
Hearing Marcus's final answer, Henry was disappointed, he missed his smartest and strongest grandson.He will have to face him with his father then."Alright, happy birthday Marcus." Henry said before walking to the exit, everyone in the Warner and Reed followed him with a victorious smile on their faces, their wealth were saved thankfully.Everyone remained silent as they watch them leave.Marcos felt relieved, he looked at his son and smiled, he felt good that his son chose him than the Warner's and their wealth."Thank you." He mouthed.After few minutes of awkward silence, the host took the stage again to regain the liveliness."It's not too late to dance isn't it? The dance floor will be opened for the last part of the celebration! feel free also to eat again!" The noise came back together with the mellow music to bring back the live atmosphere.Every businessmen and women stood up and found their chances to improve their business, trying to grab investors.Some young ladies wer
Marcos' statement earned gasps from the guests, it seemed like a war is really about to broke out, the long resting rivalry between the three families is about to come back."Marcos, why are you so grumpy? I'm not here for you after all, I am here to celebrate my grandson's birthday." Henry Warner said.No one even from the guests believed it, knowing that it is not hidden that Marcos was involved in the death of Drix Reed and Amelia Warner, no father's will be able to forgot like it was nothing."Marcus, aren't you going to pay respect to your mother's family?" Henry asked sarcastically.Marcus walked towards their direction and bowed slightly, "Welcome Grandpa, but I didn't invited you."His straightforwardness made the Reed's and Warner embarrassed, they were just branded as gatecrashers in public."Your father did, right Marcos?" Henry's tone was telling him to agree.Marcos just nodded, he thought it will be better to settle it in public than cr
At the same time Marcus was celebrating his birthday, a video of him playing the piano and singing became a huge social media sensation, everyone was crazy looking for his identity, his voice was on par or even better with known singers that made everyone gushing over his identity.Some of his friends recognized him but was doubting wether it was really him or just a lookalike, as far as they remember, Marcus was not someone who can afford to eat at such restaurants, they opted on keeping their mouths shut to avoid embarrassment if ever it was not Marcus.Marcus stepped out of the car and was blinded by the flashed of cameras for a while, when it calmed, the medias started bombarding him with questions next."Mr. Eastwood, Why did it took twenty three years for you to reveal your identity to the public?""Sir, how much is the money spent on your birthday party?""Mr. Eastwood, is that a custom design suit by the famous brand booralro?" "Mr. Eastwood, ar
The day after, Marcos formally started giving out invitations, it was not announced publicly but the impact of the news made every rich family in chaos, others finding their way to get their hands to the limited invitations.Marcus told his father to limit it for atleast 50 families since he was insisting a grand celebration with atleast 100 families.Marcos agreed halfheartedly, it is the time for him to reveal his son and be proud of him after all and he's restricting him, Marcus has never been fond of too much crowd.The Benilde received the invitation, Antonio Benilde was naturally happy that they were still acknowledged despite losing communication, he was amazed at Marcus's ability to remember those who gets on his good side.The Hill also received out of the fifty other families, naturally they are automatically included, Abby Hill found herself contemplating whether to go too or not, She can't afford to see Marcus with other girls though but in the end,
"Isn't it obvious?" The staff was stunned and embarrassed, she could only curse herself for being unprofessional, she thought that Marcus isn't that strict and so she tried to flirt with him."Oh sorry sir! Let me guide you to your table then?"She didn't waited for the two to response and walked ahead without looking back, she can imagine them being bad tripped about her, she can't afford to get called out or worst get fired.Since the restaurant was at the highest floor of the building, the table he reserved was the one beside the glass wall, the moment they reached it, Beatrice couldn't help but get amazed."Wow." She muttered."Do you like the view?" Marcus asked.She nodded and continued staring at the city lights, the cars on the road down looks like toys and it was adorable."I like my view more." Marcus said that made her look at him, she found him looking at her.She blushed immediately after realizing what does he mean.Marcus
