Alves watched and observed closely the look on Madam's face when she had a taste of the sumptuous mucus grilled with blood. What crawled up her face was more than shock. It was as though she had seen more than a ghost. Alves didn't know when last he felt so soothed and happy after these long years. Seeing that look on Madam face was more than Utopia to him. Of course he was a realistic person. He knew what he has just brought upon himself by going to that length. He knew what was bound to happen. He knew that there would be a shower of more and more misery on him. Yet, he allowed himself to bask in the strong rays of those soothing and intoxicating feelings teasing his nerves. Before he gets drenched and drown.Suddenly he noticed Madam losing her balance and was falling away. She collapsed. She must have been very irritated. Alves knew that she would never get over something like this. He had just stepped on the tail of a cobra. While Madam was falling away, the two cops from ear

Alves' eyelids slowly paved to reveal his weak eyes. The strong rays of light from the illuminant hanging in the ceiling above him was too much for his eyes to withstand. His eyes shut at once. But then the voices and mutters coming from every corner of the room nudged him to give it another try. This time when he opened his eyes, he looked to his side. Deciding not to look straight at the blinding lights. Though the vision wasn't making sense in the first place... all he could see was hues and silhouettes. The willingness to know what was happening and where he was, gave life to pictures forming in his mind. His heart became vibrant aiding the mind. They were several men dressed in blue suits everywhere he looked in the room. He tried to push his body up to sit, but he felt the pangs of pain writhing in his body. He couldn't keep up the action. His graon had brought attention to him. He was in a hospital. "Boss... Sir... are you alright?""He is awake.""Boss is awake."BOSS?Al

"What's the status of the contract? Did Manuel get back to you yet?"Madam asked, staring at Simeon who was alerted as soon as the question hit him. "I couldn't get to him directly. I had to go through the P.A. as usual. She said that there are still things to attend to internally."Simeon explained, making sure to stress the point. Madam looked away from him. Herself and all her children were gathered in the big living room of Casper mansion. They were there to give a report. An internal report before they'd take it to the board members of the company. Casper built a company which had grown to become one of the best in the Grimming Hills. The company named after his name had retained its fame and status for couple decades, until Madam Casper became involved in the administration. Ever since she was given a post in the company, by Casper, the company had began to deteriorate, losing its fame and status. The company almost went bankrupt if it wasn't for the sudden intervention of C

"Hey! Come back here. You jinx, come back here!!!"Simeon yelled on top of his voice, being dramatic over nothing. He kept on yelling until the vehicles had departed. That should be all for him, but he kept on walking towards the gate as though he could work some magic to turn the vehicles back in the direction of the mansion. While he was yelling at the departing vehicles, he heard a strange activity behind him and turned. When he looked, Madam had turned and was walking back into the house. "Call me that wretched gateman!!!"She yelled on top of her voice as she stomped into the living room. There were so many things to process in her mind. Seeing Alves again was as though her nightmares had been given a new life. When she had instructed the Sheriff to throw Alves into the den of the death row inmates, she had automatically closed the chapter of Alves. She had dismissed him as dead. It was an undisputable fact that Alves would meet his death in the rough company of those monste

At first, when Alves traced the corners of Simeon's face to tell what his reaction was after seeing him, he thought Simeon was surprised. But that didn't seem as the case. While the both them exchanged long stares, Simeon's face suddenly broke into a wild laugh. He didn't even hold back the urge to laugh, knowing that he was in a formal setting. The only thing which was going through his mind was what the Jinx was doing in such an office. He couldn't help but wonder how Alves got an access into the AUSTRIX building let alone walk through the door, into the office of an esteemed individual like Manuel. One of the reasons that Simeon was quite surprised was the fact that, even he wouldn't had been able to enter Austrix, let alone visit Manuel if not for the connection of his mother; not every CEO'S could walk through the door of Austrix let alone come that far. Alves already knew what was going on. "What's so funny, Simeon?"Came a feminine voice from behind Simeon. Simeon stepped
