Darren POVEric's reaction was so exciting to Darren—just the perfect reaction he had expected from him.He wouldn’t know what would hit him next; tempering with Darren was the thing he would have done if he knew who he really was..He had to put himself under a very tight subjection so he wouldn’t erupt in a loud laughter like a volcano because he was there when Nora received a call from him, begging to help out with his shares.Heaven knows what he was thinking—why Nora was the first person he could contact apart from his family. Was he thinking Nora was capable of working things out in his favor?I had been thoroughly watching everyone in the house, including her, because after what happened to Mr. Reeves, I could hardly see myself trusting anyone again.“Who was that?” I asked when she fidgeted around her phone, clicking her nails against it as she got a lot of thoughts.Nora had been trying to get close to me, one way or another, and I don’t get what she is up to. When I asked, s

DARREN POVDarren sat beside her on the bed she had been lying on for over three hours. At first, he was kind of skeptical about what the nurse told him—that Grandma Lisa was going to be fine and it was not serious.He didn’t want to believe that anymore because it was over three hours and she was not flickering her eyes open yet.The fear dissipated when he noticed she was trying to move two of her fingers beside him, and her pulse started to beat normally, not as slowly as it was a few hours ago.Darren, at some point, felt emotion because he was seeing a mother figure in her. He never meant his mom, not his dad; he was raised in an orphanage home, and that was all he knew about himself.He had no clue about his family and little clue about himself. He was able to let go of his nightmare after Mr. Reeves meant it to him that night.Darren was lost in his thoughts; he was barely aware of his phone ringing until it sang for the second time. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and no

DARREN POVDarren headed to Grandma Lisa’s room to check on her and happened to overhear Nora telling her she was divorcing him.He heard her cry as well, which was serious, and he had truly hurt her. He barely could hear what Grandma Lisa was saying to her, and it wouldn’t be proper if he went into the room when Nora was having a conversation with her.Then he waited beside the door until she was done speaking to Grandma.A few minutes later, Nora angrily stormed out of her room, and she hadn’t noticed Darren; probably she was too overwhelmed.Darren popped his cheek, deflated it at the same time, and took out his hand from his pocket before he proceeded inside her room.He met her sitting on the bed, and she looked better than he left her. The nap had truly helped, and that was enough to make him sigh in relief.“Did you two plan on coming to see me one after the other?” Grandma Lisa cracked a smile, tapping the space beside her on the bed.Darren got the signal and entered the room

Richard was in the company when his phone suddenly beeped in his pocket. He had decided not to take anyone’s call because he had lots of work to do.But the moment he noticed that it wasn’t just a normal number but the normal Cops code, he answered immediately, his heart beating frantically, hoping he hadn’t done anything wrong.With shaking hands, he glued the phone to his ears, and it happened to be Greg who was speaking on the phone.His voice was nearly inaudible, more like he was wincing in pain. “I don’t have much time to speak on the phone, Richard; I only have two minutes to speak to you. I want you to come to the station; I have been arrested.” He sounded like he was pleading for mercy, and before Richard could say a word, the call had already ended.“What the fuck just happened?” It felt like he was in a trance because he would never have imagined Greg being in police custody.Greg also contacted Nora, and they were all on their way to the police station. Grandma Lisa was fu

“Shit, you motherfucker, how did you let them catch you?” Eric cursed as he clutched on the bars of the gate that were separating him physically from Greg.He came as a visitor, and Greg was in jail in the meantime, waiting for his fucking fate.The way Greg looked was dreadful. Eric had never seen him this scared and hopeless. Eric was feeling thankful in his head because he didn’t accompany Greg when he abducted the girl.If not, he would have been behind bars as well, but his betrayal smile kept flaunting on his cheek as though he could do something to help him.“It’s been two days, and Grandma Lisa hasn’t even come to see me.” He murmured, his head down, facing the ground.“What if she thinks you really did it, or maybe she was still in shock that you could do something like that to ruin your family name?” Eric's words were beginning to piss him off.“If you fucking don’t have anything good to say, then get the fuck out of here. I don’t even need your sympathy.” He growled at him.
