Being Mayor is the best political job, they said. You can get things done and make things happen. And that is what Cesar aimed for.But it was a tough path. Cesar had to win over the city’s residents, launch his own campaign and stay within regulations to qualify as a candidate. Fortunately, there are people who started to support the third in rank candidate.Some were paid. Others were forced by their employers. And they were also people who really believed that Cesar is the kind Samaritan just like what they heard.In the town square where the loud sound of the campaign theme song was played, the crowd gathered while chanting a name.“Cesar! Cesar! Cesar!”Cesar raised his hand to signal everyone to stop. When the noises subsided, Cesar began his speech.“Good day, everyone! Thank you for coming here! It is really an honor to be part of this election. At this moment, we have an amazing opportunity to transform New York into the more gleaming and Charming place it is destined to be!

“I wanted the steak wel…”Xavier stopped talking when he felt something brushing against his thighs. It wasn’t difficult to know what it was.His red eyes gaped at the woman sitting across him. Lewelyn’s eyes curved into a slight smile. Her twinkling, bright gaze was full of mischief. Xavier could guess what she was up to. Calling it a mistake at this point would be an utter embarrassment as the movement beneath the table had turned increasingly explicit.“Sir?” The waiter called Xavier to ask if there’s any problem why Xavier suddenly halted in the middle of giving his order.Gian, as observant as he can be, noticed the unusual reaction of the man beside him and turned his head to watch what’s happening.Xavier was pale.“I am sorry,” Xavier managed to answer with difficulty. “I wanted my steak to be well-done and…”The point of the heel gently slid up his calf and down again, giving him a strange tingling sensation that shook his thighs in disgust.When Xavier looked at the cause of

Xavier looked behind him and saw Louisa. She was wearing a thin nightgown as she crossed her arms. She looks like a cat about to raise her claws.“Good evening, mother,” Xavier greeted.“Hah! What’s good about meeting each other tonight? Seeing you will never be pleasant,” Louisa answered.Suddenly, there was a delicate atmosphere in the air, thin as ice that could be shattered at any moment. Between Xavier and Louisa, a silent war raged. The subtle desire of each person to advance or defend was concealed on their facades.The maid held her breath while watching. She does not want to meddle between the feud of the foster son and the second wife. However, she lost any chance to escape.“That’s right,” Xavier agreed to Louisa's statement after a long time. “My mother won’t be happy to see me, I know that.”Louisa’s face crumpled as she heard him call her that way again.How brazen, Louisa thought.“I don’t remember allowing you to call me ‘mother’. I did not give birth to trash.”“Ahh

Xavier and Gian finished freeing the kids from the ropes around their hands and feet. After that, Gian looked at the children, who were holding their sobs.“Listen young brats,” Gian said. “The door is open. If you keep running towards the right side, you can see the main exit of this place. Run as much as you can and never look back. If you are lucky, you’ll live.”The kids looked at each other. From this time onwards, each of them is on their own.“Those who are old enough, guide the young one and make sure they won’t make a noise. Understand?” Gian asked.The oldest kids in the group nodded their heads.“Now, go.”One by one, they started to run and exited the warehouse.As the children made their way out, Xavier saw a boy on the ground. He was beaten by the two men a moment ago and now, he cannot move an inch.Looking at the pitiful kid, Xavier remembered his son, Simon, who was also around the kid’s age. Thinking this, he felt empathetic towards the boy.“Leave it,” Gian said whe
