All Chapters of Beyond the abyss: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chaotic as his life is, the lawyer resolved not to add more problems that would only make him and the people around him more miserable. In his mind, he had to see his son more often and hope that he will be acknowledged by his son as soon as possible. It is not easy for him not to think of the little child, and not think of his mother too. After all, she had given birth to him, loving him unconditionally, and giving him the nicest thing a mother could possibly give. The lawsuit against Chairman Ruiz didn't get further, for the victims of the family settled down amicably. It was known that the chairman paid each of them enough money, to silence them. Although he knew this is sure to happen, he still had been trying to gather some evidence about the abuses against the workers under the supervision of the said chairman. Regarding his son, he once called his mother to tell him that when he had done some works at his office, he would like to meet him at the park where they could play his

     Daniella woke up from her sleep to a telephone call coming from a police officer. She got up quickly when she heard that her father was involved in an accident. Hurrying up to the police station, she forgot to call her husband to inform him about what had happened to her father. She, at that time, had no clue whatsoever, of the name of the victim, knowing only that the victim was a young child who almost died because of his father's negligence. Chairman Ruiz was sitting on the chair, along with the officers who were questioning him, when suddenly, Elijah's grandfather came and threatened to put him behind bars. Daniella, who also came afterward, kissed her dad and assured him that everything will be alright and he just need to trust her and her husband.Chairman Ruiz, who left the office did not go back home but instead went to the station to see the old gentleman who hit his grandson with his car. The accused only bowed his head, kept his cool, a

     After a busy day at the office, Chairman Agustin went home and was welcomed by his grandson who was too glad to see him. He ran towards his grandpa and gave him a big hug and showered him with kisses. "How's my little Elijah? I'm so sorry I did not take you home, grandpa is so busy!"     "Don't worry grandpa, my dad brought me here and ate with us - mom. grandma and auntie Jane. I ate so much that my stomach almost burst! ha!ha!ha!     The chairman was irritated to hear that the lawyer, whom he disliked so much, even spent the time eating lunch with his family. Trying to hide his feeling from the young boy, he faked a smile and continued playing with him until his daughter came and welcomed him home. "Good evening dad! Let me take my son, he must go to bed now and tomorrow I will bring him to Jane's house. It should have been today, but I let him rest, right, Elijah? Come now, my dear!"     Elij

There was a commotion at the barricades where the protesters were seen grouped together. The chairman came to finally talk start a dialogue with them, but one of them threw a bottle at him which made his bodyguards look for the culprit and hit him with a baseball bat that all of them were carrying.     Enraged with what had transpired, the gentleman told their leader that he would not negotiate anymore and that all of them will be terminated without any payment and that all of them will be charged with assault although only one person attacked him.     "Sir! Please forgive that man! He was feeling emotional for his daughter had been in the hospital for a week and he badly needs money for her operation. Please reconsider sir your decision! We won't go home! We will stay here until you listen to our demands!"     Chairman Agustin did not want to reply to the protester because he had already made his mind. He was conv

After a month of the incident, Imman returns to his office. The chairman welcomes him and wished him well. It was obvious that the gentleman missed him a lot. He gave him a warm hug and a welcome gift - a new car. He gave him the key and told him that the said vehicle was parked in the basement and he could drive it immediately. "Dad, it is not necessary for you to give me such an expensive gift. What a shame! I did not deserve it!" giving back the key to the chairman which he did not take.     "Imman, you deserve it. You have been working hard all these years but I have never compensated you well. Please accept it as a token of my appreciation for your diligence."     The lawyer wanted to talk anymore, but the chairman signaled him not to begin speaking, that he has to accept the gift, if not, he would feel sad. "Okay dad, thank you for the gift! I don't want you to feel bad but please don't spoil me too much...I might get used to it, h
