The 14th of april finally came, Marcus has mixed feeling on attending the party, he knew he's string already but he's definitely dead if he's outnumbered, so he readied many men of his father's gang, he specifically picked the leaders so he's sure they were strong.He was really shocked at Isaac's information, All this time, it was Hailey Morgan who sent a spy to keep watching his every move.It was definitely much concerning knowing Hailey holds the biggest grudge against him in his life, it was childish but her mindset is already rotting and can't be save, who knows if she wants to kill him?Brix Reed was a fool, that's one thing he's sure of, letting Hailey control him will get him killed without knowing, it might be a foe or worst, his family to save face for the second time."Son, you should be careful, the Reeds and Warner might be there, we don't know if they're already planning against us." Marcos said."They're not, their plan is to just provoke us with B
The drive only took thirty minutes before they arrived at the NL Events Hall, the outside were full and reporters are swarming, trying to get a photo of Brix who remained unknown until today.He was all smiles to the camera while waiting at the end of the red carpet to greet his guests, it was already thirty minutes since the call time but the celebration hasn't yet to commence since it's usually held thirty minutes after.Six-thirty already happened and it was sign for the guards to close down the hall, however, Hailey Morgan was panicking since Marcus hasn't come yet."Tsk, he's really going to act coward? how shameful!" She thought.Assuming that her plan to humiliate him will fail, she was already put in a bad mood, Brix held her waist as they ascend the stairs to the hall when a low roar of a usual sports car piqued their attention, even the media's who's already packing up as they were prohibited inside immediately grabbed their things after seeing the car
"Stop it!" Beatrice's loud shout silenced everyone who was talking ill about Marcus openly as if he was not present.Hailey Morgan who received a deadly glare from her was taken aback, she assumed that she was a weak and timid girl but turns out she isn't."Hailey Morgan, You are really out of the line trying to humiliate your ex boyfriend just because you were dumped when you attempted to get back at him just because he's suddenly rich when in fact, you cheated first!" She publicly announced, it caused endless whispering between guests."N-no! That's not true! I don't even know you so how would you know what happened to us?!" Hailey angrily asked, she was about to be revealed but she definitely wouldn't be abel to afford second humiliation."Sure I am not in that event but I am Marcus's current girlfriend and I know how devastated he is having cheated by the person he loved the most! You are an ingrate who only loves money, you would jump on different men
Brix Reed felt embarrassed, originally, he was just asked by his father to make a comeback to the country and completely remove the humiliation they suffered but now, he was completely fooled by a woman.He could not bring himself to look at Marcus, he's indeed an enemy of his family but he didn't care about him, the fact that the Eastwood became his stepping stone to finally get recognized made him don't care about them killing his brother.Drix had never been good to him anyway, he loved to humiliate him and his death definitely made him very happy."I'm sorry, I have no intention of harming your family, my father just wanted to provoke you and I'm sure he has a plan against you with the help of the Warner's, they had planned about it for long time, be careful." Brix revealed.Sure enough, Brix have chosen to side with him, he was just considered a lackey by his family so what's the point of licking too much, he still have his own will and that is to save who saves
The next day, the disappearance of Brix Reed was still loud and heard on every parts of the country, many believed that it was caused by someone with bigger power that made people scared, the Reed's are already a powerhouse, one that surpasses them is basically a God tier.Although it tainted the image of the family, the Reed's make use of it to gain the sympathy of the public by releasing a statement of asking for help.It was basically the family stooping down for help but yet effective as people sided with them to find out who the family behind it was.Meanwhile, Hex and Dex Reed arrived early in the afternoon without the media's knowledge or it might cause rumors.First thing they did was to find out everything about the Ferns, it only took minutes before they got informations.Ferns are a first rate family with a net worth of a hundred million dollars, it was near that of the Benilde's, but their wealth are all on the forms of properties and stocks, the
The two went out of the car once it was parked on the parking lot near the park, some people were throwing glance at them, who would see someone who uses a luxury car date in a public park?Maybe just them?But Marcus didn't mind at all, Beatrice who was still acting all cold was leading the way towards the park, he was there following like a puppy, all nervous as if his heart is about to jump off.The two were attracting attention as they walk pass couples, not because they went with a luxury car but because of their visuals, girlfriend's were jaw dropped because of Marcus who looks stunning and domineering in his suit, and boyfriend's was glued after Beatrice's sexy body, not to mention her gorgeous facial appearance.The two didn't care as long as they solve their dilemmas, Marcus was to bring back their normal sweet state, Beatrice to finally officialize their relationship.The two felt the very opposite emotions and it was because of Beatrice's plan.
Hex and Dex Reed came back to their hotel room neat and tidy as if they didn't just commit a massacre, ofcourse it was because they had men to help them, they were not that strong but just ruthless.However, the two didn't felt satisfied at all, knowing that the Ferns don't have their brother Brix Reed, they could only think who must be the one who got him, the scene kept replating through their minds."Where is our brother? Brix Reed." Hex asked while holding a knife.The old man, Martin Fern was kneeling and trembling as he answered."I-I don't k-know anything at all! the Hitman I ordered didn't came back at a-all!" It was true as the man abolished the plan and left the city to save himself, he realized that it's not worth the money as it involved the families at the top of the food chain.He ran away without communicating with the Ferns.But Hex and Dex became more frustrated assuming that he still was lying.Then next thing that happens insi
Morning came, Beatrice senses woke up feeling a soft mattress behind her back, it was very comfortable that she stayed still and felt it for minutes until she was hit by realization.She's not in her house.She opened and her eyes and a cream colored ceiling welcomed her, only then she realized what happened yesterday and that she is currently on Eastwood's mansion.She immediately recalled the confusion yesterday and was very eager to see and talk to Marcos, he knew her real family so it will surely be worth the time.Her phone ring from the bedside table, she grabbed it and her eyes widen in shock."I forgot to call my parents!" She whisperingly cursed.The screen was flooded with many texts and missed calls, she didn't bother to do anything and immediately called her mother.At first ring, the call got connected."Beatrice Ford! you kid! where are you all night that you didn't bother to call us? do you already forgot about us? we are so worrie

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
