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
It has been days since Marcus and Beatrice went to their first date, the two definitely improved their relationship, although they're still not together, Beatrice planned to say yes to him sooner.The two would exchange texts and calls since Marcus was not always in Esper, He's always out of town, managing different companies at different cities.Beatrice on the other hand, continuously created different dishes that the company may offer, Esper apart from being a cuisine that has many restaurants under it are also a food delivery company, it was definitely big that no one can come close until today.Marcus was currently in Maryland, the neighboring city of Queensland when his secretary, Drake Hart called him."Young master, the stocks have plummeted, Bridge Express launched their new system which features beauties and handsome delivery guys from foreign countries, it was a hit for customers." Marcus thought it was costly and a big risk, considering that the count
As soon as Fred stood up with the young women in his side, Marcus and Drake followed them closely in a distance.Since they were a little bit drunk, the two didn't care to everyone but theirselves, they were too occupied to look at every person they see and besides, they are very eager to spend the night together, nothing bothers them anymore.Marcus couldn't stand the sight longer but still continues to follow."Have you called his wife?" He asked Drake."Yes young master, she's probably now in the entrance." Drake replied."Good, tell her the room number and meet us there." He ordered.Drake nodded, Marcus planned it all along after investigating this betrayer, he didn't want a hasty action but a good one since Fred also seems planned it well.Marcus thought of what happened earlier in the office.As soon as he walked inside, Drake immediately ran to him and bowed, he gave a white envelope."The research department manager has resigned sir,
The next morning in Bridge Express."Mr. Reed, Fred Riger didn't report on the time you said, he didn't came to the company." The assistant said.Mr. Reed's lips twitched, he thought that Fred will be useless anyway after coming to him."Let him, I am guessing that the young Eastwood already punished him, let's just see what could he suffered." He said with anticipation in his eyes.The assistant nodded, Mr. Reed turned on the television and coincidentally it was the news about a familiar man."A man in his fifties fell to his death from the rooftop of a hotel earlier this morning, the man is identified to be Fred Riger, a married man with two kids, on the cctv footages, he was seen walking without any sense of self awareness, we are yet to find the cause of the suicide, the family of the deceased didn't allowed to be interviewed as they are still mourning, reporting—" Mr. Reed turned off the television and looked at the glass mirror that gives a view o
That night, Marcus Eastwood took another turn in his life, he thought he would be living simply and punishing those who get in his way, but life of a rich man really is not easy as you will surely have enemies, in his case, his father is involved in a gang and worst he's the leader.Marcos decided to bring his son to the headquarters to finally introduce him to the members, he figured out that there's no way the Reeds came back just for him, it is also not a coincidence that they came back the moment Marcus was being known by everyone.One thing he's sure, Marcus will mostly get every bullet aimed at him because he's still young and they think he's not yet riped in these things, that convinced Marcos to act faster, mastering martial arts is a thing, but not in front of guys holding guns.The next morning, Marcus texted Beatrice, updating her that he'll be off to a meeting somewhere a little far, Beatrice immediately became sad but still agreed, she realized she still ha
As soon as the elevator stopped, the two went out in the fourth floor.The fourth floor was very large but it was all his father's office alone, the ground was all glass, he can see everything that's happening below."It's glass but neither of them can see what's up, only I can see them." Marcos said.He nodded with his mouth formed in an O in amazement, and continued looking at each floors."The first floor is the training grounds, second is weaponry, and third is drugs." His father casually said."You mean Illegal drugs?" He asked doubting."Yes, but it was not sold to drug lords, it's sold to the government to keep our gang leading, the government has been doing an experiments on it eversince, no one knows what is that, maybe just a cover up to the president's vices." Marcos said and shrugged.Marcus can't deny that it's a rumor that the country's president is involved in illegal drugs, but no one really dares to go forward and prove it, as long a
The next day morning, Marcus woke up feeling excited to meet Beatrice again, even if he became his driver everyday, he would naturally agree!He stood up from his bed and exercised like the usual and practice his moves for a few minutes.When he got satisfied and energized, he went down to the dining area and found his father drinking his coffee as usual.He greeted him first unlike the usual since he's feeling happy."Good morning Dad!" He happily greeted."Look who's very happy, I would be happy too if you introduce my soon to be daughter in law to me!" Marcos jokingly convinced him."Soon Dad, I will introduce her once she said yes! I'm still courting her you know that." He explained.Marcos pouted that made Marcus laugh, his father acting all cute looks like a duck, an old duck."Fine!" After breakfast, Marcus received a text from Beatrice."Good morning Marky! see you later at 5:30 in the afternoon, let's meet in the company?"
Beatrice has been silent eversince they rode his car, she was still shy and embarrassed since she showed up in front of him without wearing bralette, and she knew it was really visible as her shirt was a little fitted."Tris, what are you thinking of? your face are so red." Marcus suddenly noticed and asked."Nothing, just keep on driving!" She shyly said."Is it because of earlier? I swear I didn't look at that." Marcus said as if he didn't saw it but he did."Oh shut up, you've seen it for sure, I'm embarrassed, maybe I shouldn't because you'll see it soon anyway." She suddenly teased.Now the situation turned the opposite, Marcus was red faced, he was hot from what Beatrice had said, does it simply mean she will soon approve him as his boyfriend and much better marry him?His tummy suddenly felt like a paradise for butterflies with the romantic excitement he is feeling.Marcus played the radio after that to avoid being noticed that he was so overj

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
