Armando got up from his sleep on the barrack bed, which was far from soft, more like a stretcher immediately. The deafening sound of sirens and dazzling white lights shone on his face.
“Yes Sir, I’m a prisoner by the name of Armando Blanc from Block two,” he said as he leaned closer to the microphone on the wall.
Since being in a dark and damp isolation room, Armando had to report every time he heard the sirene. To show that he was still in a good health while receiving punishment for reflecting on his mistakes.
However, for a prisoner, it was hell and really depressed him. Especially for people who are used to luxury and get services like Armando.
His normally burly and mighty stature turned limp, probably losing a lot of weight. Even walking there is no enthusiasm. The only thing that still keeps him alive in

“Work on cruise ships?” Nicko asked to be sure, as well as to know what his mother-in-law really meant.“Yes, you will work there in a prominent position. Of course, your salary will be large and you can give money to your wife, not just relying on it. Aren’t you ashamed all your life just depending on her?” This time Edmund follows the conversation.“Now what are you waiting for, quickly do as I command!” Daisy exclaimed.Nicko narrowed his eyes again. He had noticed that his father- and mother-in-law seemed rushed in giving orders.“Do they mean to separate me and my wife? Hmm, this can’t be allowed. Okay, I’ll play with them,” Nicko thought.“Hmm, big salary and top position, huh?” Nicko mumbled, and purposely did it out loud.It&rsqu

“Hey Jo, what are you talking about, no one goes to the cruise ship,” Daisy, who looked awkward, said.“Don’t lie, Mom. I’ve heard all your conversations. I will not separate from my husband,” Jo replied curtly.Seeing Jo’s reaction, Daisy couldn’t help but tell the truth. But still shows his initial intention to pit Nicko against his daughter to get them divorced.“Jo, I’m doing this for you. I want you to be happy,” Daisy said.“I’m happy, if I’m with my husband.”Nicko immediately put his arm around his wife’s shoulders and kissed the crown of her head again. He deliberately flaunts affection in front of his in-laws.“I don’t need all of that. Mom, just ask Dad to work there, or let Mom just be on the cru

“Hey wake up! How long are you going to sleep all the time?” Screams sounded clear in his ears as he was sleeping in his cell bed, which looked more comfortable than the isolation room.Slowly, he opened his eyes and found two prison guards standing in front of him.“Looks like he’s comfortable here!” one of them exclaimed while looking at Armando.“Wake up! Someone’s coming to visit you!” one guard snapped.“What time is it now?” Armando asked with a slight yawn. But his eyes seemed to sparkle when he heard someone visited him.Even though the grudge still smolders in him, it was undeniable that he was lonely. Armando begins too long for the outside world and freedom.***The pressure after pressure he endured in the cell really made

The table in front of him became the target of Armando’s anger over what he had just heard from Catherine. His fists clenched and hit the table hard, attracting the attention of the guard guarding him.“Hey what are you doing? Do you want to damage the inventory?” he asked, then pulled Armando’s body to his feet and left the room.“Get back on the block soon!” the guard ordered while pulling Armando and then dragging him into the detention block. Again, this arrogant new prisoner also received an unpleasant stare from the prison inmates.Even though they were in an unlocked cell, all of them could still see Armando who looked furious. But Catherine’s ex-husband still didn’t care about the gaze that was aimed at him. This man is completely unresponsive to his surroundings.“Get in!” the guard who

Armando bent his arms and tried to get rid of the towel that was shackled around his neck.“W... What you... Uh,” Armando who had difficulty speaking because of the powerful pressure on his neck, said.“Ha ha, is that all you got? You’re just a spoiled kid who always whines.” Bill tightened the noose around Armando’s neck.The ridicule that Bill expressed angered Armando. He gathered all his strength and intended to fight them.“Grrrrr,” he groaned, then grabbed the towel around his neck, and swung it into the air.“Enjoy this? You want to fight with me the spoiled child who can only whine, ha?” Armando asked.Bill, who led the attack, did not know that his opponent was brave and escaped from the trap. He and his friends were silent in shock.“Why? Did you never think I could do

The Windsor Residence...This morning Edmund woke up earlier than usual. This early fifties man was already in the kitchen and to see Nicko who was making muffins.“Ahem!” He cleared his throat and tried to get the attention of his son-in-law who was currently kneading the dough. Nicko turned his head for a moment and found the figure of his father-in-law, who was still dressed in pajamas.“Dad, you’ve been up this morning,” he replied kindly, with his hand still holding the mixer.Edmund looked left and right as if he didn’t want anyone to know he was here. Of course, this made Nicko get a little suspicious.“Huh, does he want to talk about cruise ship work again? If so, I won’t accept it,” Nicko thought.“Nick,” he called slowly, then turned back

Roberto rubbed his face with both hands. His face was red. Several times he held his chest, it seemed he couldn’t hold it all on his own.Raina, who was sitting in front of him, felt something strange about his adoptive uncle. He also stopped the correspondence activity that was being carried out by him.“Uncle, is that something wrong?” Raina asked softly.But Roberto did not answer, instead his face was getting redder, especially the circles of his eyes.“Armando... Armando is dead,” he said in a voice that sounded sad. Raina just looked down. She felt bad about what had happened to her Uncle. After all, he had a hand in sending his cousin to prison.“Uncle ...

Nothing in the world is free,” Nicko replied, then put the dough in the oven.His son-in-law’s words made Edmund growl slowly . This middle-aged man lifted his face and pointed his index finger at his son-in-law’s face.“You? It seems you’ve dared to fight!” With a smile, Nicko lowered his finger-in-law slowly. He was still trying to be polite.“It’s all up to you. You need to know that whoever the Hamiltons are will have nothing to do with me. One more thing, if your intention in asking me to work on a cruise ship was to separate us both, I’m sorry you failed. Jo and I will not be separated. Except for death,” Nic

Matthew immediately pulled the bodies of the two unconscious guards inside and rolled them into a haystack.Unexpectedly Matthew approached Jo and took off his jacket and gave it to Josephine, "Wear this it will be cold outside!"A little hesitant, Josephine accepted and put on Matthew's jacket.

"So this is your doing?" asked Nicko angrily. This time her face was red and her eyes were staring intently ahead."Ha ha ha why? Does this sound painful to you? It's good that this sounds painful to you. At least this way you will know who you are dealing with, and you can think again about betraying my daughter!”Watson, you! Nicko rage. This time he was really angry that he couldn't say anything else. His hands began to clench tightly and cursed at the man who called him. No one ever thought that Robert Watson, Camilla's father, was involved in kidnapping his wife and child now.“You bastard Watson, what do you want! I warned you that I would never betray your daughter. It was just a silly game in childhood!” Nick replied.“Silly childhood game you say? It's a shame that until now my daughter still expects you and I still think of you as my son-in-law. I rejected several men including Matthew Young who is now completely independent for you but instead you maintain your stupid marri

The man Josephine knew folded his arms across his chest and walked over to Josephine. "You wanna know why I'm here? Of course because I want to meet you sweetheart.”Of course, that man was Gerlad Jones, the most selfish man Josephine had ever known.“Aren't you tired of bothering me all the time? Don't you already know that you and I are no longer related?" Josephine replied curtly.Gerald immediately crouched down and leveled his position with Josephine. This time he gently touched Josephine's cheek and disgusted her former lover.Josephine seemed to push away Gerald's hand which kept trying to touch her. The more Josephine dodged the more he liked to tease her.“Your skin is still smooth and soft, only now you are a little different. You seem a bit stocky. Is it possible that you're already pregnant with that jerk's child?” asked Gerald as he whispered in Josephine's ear and started licking it.Josephine shuddered in horror, she almost admitted that she was now pregnant.

The Pride S2. 466 Being Kidnapped
This afternoon Nicko was accompanying Josephine and Ian to go to the park. This time they were only accompanied by Jacklyn and Owen's bodyguards Ian and Jo.It seemed that it had been quite a while since Josephine had spent the three of them together like she was now. Lately, Nicko has been busy with all his own activities and also the world of medicine that he just got. Now they also thought of taking a break, after all last night Jo had said that she wanted to share.With the help of Owen and Jacklyn, they spread out a table and put some food boxes there which will be given to anyone who needs them for free. This time it wasn't just Jo who looked so happy, but also Ian, because he hadn't spent time with his adoptive father in a long time.As soon as Nicko finished clearing the table and putting down some food, a middle-aged woman in shabby clothes came up to them. Judging from the clothes he was wearing, he seemed to be a homeless person."Sir, is this given for free?" the woman ask
The Pride S2. 365 Karma Still Go On
At this time Andrew Young really pressed. He really didn't expect that he would suffer such a fate.The person he once underestimated suddenly turned things around in just a few minutes. In the past, he underestimated the Watson family because they had an economy class below him.Especially with Nicko, he had never taken the young man into account at all. Precisely thinks Nicko is like a pest that must be eradicated immediately. But now he is the pest. Even Chuck who became his ally also blamed him.“Chuck, you don't think about me anymore? Don't you remember our previous good relationship?" asked Master Young in a voice that sounded quivering with sorrow.Chuck shook his head and said again, “Didn't you hear what my uncle said earlier? We Watsons absolutely do not welcome a liar. Now you better get out of here!”"Chuck you,—" Andrew no longer continued his words. Instantly his lips were numb and could not say anything else.It was then that Mr. Watson immediately called his housekeep

Andrew Young's body suddenly felt stiff and weak. Now he has no money anymore and it hurts a lot. Now that he heard the news that his youngest son had committed suicide, his life was completely ruined at this point.With unsteady steps, he walked towards the stage again. At that time he had seen the ravaged state. Everything was full of trash and no one was there.He walked unsteadily, but suddenly a waiter came to chase him, "Sorry Mr. Young, this is the bill for tonight's event!"It was then that Andrew Young immediately patted his forehead and muttered that he had almost forgotten the bill he had to pay off. When renting this place, he only paid half of the total banking services ordered by him.Currently, he can still breathe a sigh of relief because, in his account balance, there is still money remaining for the cost of paying off this event. But after that, he didn't know what to do. Not even sure I could buy a plane ticket back to Northern Hill.The only way back to Northern Hi
The Pride S2. 463 His Karma
Andrew Young was struck by the statement of his former bodyguard. What's more, they actually restrained him and made him no longer able to move and bait the people who were now hunting him.In fact, now that he's really stuck, no one can help him. Wanted to scream and ask Matthew for help but now the young man is not with him anymore. Then, Mr Watson, he should be a man he can rely on. While Chuck is actually an ally of his. But their positions were too far away and it was impossible for her to scream.Even if he had shouted for their help, before Chuck had come here he would have been battered and bruised.Now all he could do was bully his former bodyguard again into protecting him. The bodyguards he had dismissed were a bunch of chubby bums. By giving them even a glimmer of hope, they would definitely move to protect him, no matter how difficult the obstacles he had to face.“Hey you guys, quickly save me! Do your duty as a bodyguard. Don't act stupid and piss me off so you guys tot

Andrew Young tries to catch up to Mrs. Eleanor who is now off the stage and headed for the exit. He kept calling her and asking her to come back.But unfortunately, when he just got off the stage he was intercepted by several people who had bought the medicine.One of them is Mr. Austin. He stood holding out his hand and blocking her from leaving. "Where are you going? Immediately take responsibility for what you have done to us! Give us our money back!”Some who had bought the drug also helped Mr Austin. They all seemed to surround him.“Quickly give us our money back!” cried the people shouting angrily.Andrew Young actually shook his head and tried to refuse, "No...no, you already know that if the items that have been purchased cannot be returned."But the people didn't want to understand and said to him loudly, “No you can't, this money has to be returned because you have committed fraud. Hurry back now or we will force you to take responsibility!” said Mr. Austin, pointing at him

Andrew Young smiled and shook his head, “Of course not sir. That price is a very commensurate price for what you get.”“Humph, you must want to rob us by paying such a large fee! I don't want to buy!” exclaimed one of the visitors.Andrew Young smiled sarcastically and said, “I have no intention of robbing you. I set a fair price as you can see at Mr. Watson's birthday party, and also the changes in me. You all have even touched me and felt the difference. So I think 2.5 billion is really worth it.”The visitors who surrounded him also spoke like a buzzing beetle. After that, he spoke again by giving an explanation of everything. “Don't all of you know that in our youth we spend a lot of time working hard, thinking about many things even makes us forget to eat and lack sleep. Often we have to eat fast food to save time. Don't you all realize the consequences of our old habits? Gradually everything becomes a disease that accumulates and paralyzes the cells in our body.
