The next day.Steve awoke to sunlight, disturbing his deep sleep. He quickly sat up and was surprised to find himself in an unfamiliar room."Where am I?"He was shocked to find himself wearing only shorts and a woman asleep beside him."Billie!"The woman woke up to Steve's shout."Alvarez? You're awake." "Why are you sleeping with me?!""You don't remember it?" Billie looked disappointed. The woman tried to cover her body with the blanket. "You forced me, Alvarez.""Forced you to do what?" Steve couldn't accept the harsh reality."You raped me."Steve gaped in disbelief, then shook his head. "That's impossible! I couldn't have defiled you! You're my friend!"Billie pointed out the bloodstains on the bed sheet. "Can't that bloodstain make you trust me?""Argh!" Steve immediately went to the bathroom and sat on the toilet.The man grabbed his hair vigorously in frustration... "What have you done, you idiot?! Why did you desecrate your best friend?!"Steve was disappointed when he sa

Steve, Cassandra and Louis were wide-eyed as someone barged in and pointed a gun at them. "Who are you?" Louis asked, frightened. "How did you get in here?!" Louis had never experienced such a stressful event in his life. The situation was confusing and surprising, as Louis had ordered many bodyguards to guard the restaurant closely. He even hired bodyguards, usually hired by famous USA artists and businessmen with extraordinary fighting skills. "Are you ...." Louis widened his eyes in shock as the man's clothes were covered in bloodstains. "killed all my bodyguards?!" "You're right, Mr. Louis." The masked man chuckled bitterly as if it was a joke. 'Oh, shit!' Cassandra took cover behind Steve while shaking with fear. She had just escaped from the kidnappers on the street, but now she had to deal with another criminal again. "What do you want?" Steve looked at the man coldly. He had to keep his cool so the villain wouldn't get excited. 'Is he Marco's man?' Steve wondered sil

Marco hurriedly drove his car away from the Jatson Corp office with severe injuries and went to a secret house known only to him and his men. Marco entered the house while grimacing in pain. He couldn't buy protective items before attacking because he had no points left since he had exchanged all his points for money to use to help the nearly bankrupt Maxco Corp. He sat down on the sofa as he was already weak, then called his son, Stephen. "What's wrong, Dad?" Stephen asked gruffly. He was still upset that his father had failed to get the contract with Rorizon Corp, but Jacob managed to get it instead, even though it was only a small company. "Come here quickly," Marco stuttered. He was short of breath because the bullet was lodged in his lungs. According to the medics, he could only survive for an hour. "What happened to you, Dad? Why are you gasping for air?" "Come here quickly, you idiot, I don't have much time left!" Marco confirmed his call and then sent his location to Ste

The next day, Stephen met with Moses at the Kingsley Corp office. "I would like to submit the proposal you asked of me, Mr. Moses." Excitedly, Moses received the letter and read it. He marvelled at the ideas Stephen had poured into the writing. "You're very impressive, Mr. Stephen. I'm sure our partnership will be very profitable," Moses praised. "I'm so glad you like my idea, Mr. Moses. Does that mean you are willing to work with my father's company?" Stephen asked politely. "Of course." Moses quickly called his assistant, and she handed him a letter of agreement. "Please sign this letter to ratify our cooperation, Mr. Stephen." "All right." Stephen immediately signed the letter, then Moses. Moses smiled with satisfaction as he saw their hands written on the seal and shook Stephen's hand. "Maxco Corp is now officially a partnership of Kingsley Corp. Please work hard." "I promise I won't let you down, Mr. Moses." "I trust you very much." 'I never thought Cassandra's pr

After the meeting, Steve returned to the apartment to hand over the food to Charles. "Grandpa, let's eat." Steve placed the paper bag containing the sandwiches on the dining table."Wait a minute. I'm fixing the toilet. The toilet is broken!" Charles exclaimed from inside the toilet.Steve was sad to hear that. He felt selfish for letting his grandfather live in such a dirty, shabby apartment to hide his wealth.The dirty environment made Charles cough and runny nose frequently.'I have to buy a luxury apartment for Grandpa.'Not long after, Charles came out smiling."I'm glad you're home. I was so lonely here.""I'm sorry, Grandpa. I'm rarely home because I'm busy at work.""If Cassandra was here, I wouldn't be lonely. I find it hard to part from her because I was the one who took care of her when she was little."Steve felt even more guilty. He realized Cassandra's words were true and that he was the main cause of the destruction of Grandpa's life."I'm sorry, Grandpa. I've made yo
