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
Not even five minutes Marcus have taken his seat beside Beatrice, he was already tired of hearing everyone praise Diego for the mere three thousand dollars he paid to get the room.Diego was there with his head all high up, he likes the way he was being licked off like a God, but he immediately frowned seeing Beatrice not minding him, but instead was acting all caring to his show off boyfriend, Marcus.He figured that he needed to spread his wings more, and the signal he's been waiting finally came as he expected."Diego! you have spent three thousand like it's nothing, so where do you work?" A former girl classmate asked him.He smirked before boasting, "I work at the Glorious Hotel Branch here in Housland, I am working as a team manager!" The familiar name made Marcus face bright, he didn't expect this man to work for him, how tragic will he end today? he thought as he wait for him to attack again.Diego catched a glimpse of him with a face that looks
It was already ten in the evening when everyone decided to call the reunion off, everyone was tipsy except the two, Beatrice and Marcus.But everyone was still anticipating how Marcus will pay the bill with a hint of nervous, after all they were too engrossed on drinking that they didn't care how Marcus didn't drink at all, they only realized it now that maybe he planned to drunk them all then escape.Diego who spent the most immediately called the staff to get the bill."Hey! give the bill to our special guest! Marcus! he owns a one star hotel so you better kowtow to him!" His ridicule became more rude as he was the most drunk of all.Everyone didn't care and burst into laughters, Marcus smiled that made some of them sweat cold, it's a look of someone with an evil plan.Deep inside, thet were praying that he was not planning to ditch them, Diego also thought of that so he stood up even though his sense of direction was already bad and went to the door to gu
The two was silent on the car, Beatrice felt sorry for Marcus as he was humiliated the whole time in their reunion, she felt useless as everyone was ganging up on themShe realized that she should have not come since she has no good friends in the past after all, everyone just tried to be close to her to share with her spotlight but deep inside, they were criticizing her and envying her.On the way to her house, Marcus's phone rang, he answered it without minding her, she felt like he trusts her so much and she felt good deep inside.She saw that it was Mr. Drake Hart, his secretary."Sir, all your orders have been accomplished, anything else?" The man formally greeted them."No, that's all for today, good job." Marcus replied."Sir, Diego Hax is reported to be seen outside the Glorious Hotel of Housland, shouting your name continuously and pleading, do you want to get rid of him?" Beatrice was confused and shocked, What did he do to Diego? "No
