Chris took a deep breath, he looked all around his bedroom, knowing it was late at night and butler Steve would not be in support of him stepping out. However, Mia was in danger and he couldn't let it be. “Are you still there?” Reid’s voice rang out again. “Or are you scared?” He chuckled. “Do you want to see your dear friend?…do you want to see her beautiful battered face?” This time, it was Ren talking, his mocking voice sounded like stale music to Chris’ ears. At the same time, his phone rang and he saw that he received a message from Reid. It was a picture of Mia lying almost naked on the rooftop, with her face bloodied. Her eyes looked into the camera, pleading. Chris held onto his phone, almost crushing it with his grip, and with his eyes red, he looked like he was going crazy. And yes, he was. He was hurt for his friend.“Where the fuck are you guys?” Chris spat into his phone, his body churning with energy and all he wanted to do was beat up those boys. “Come to the schoo

Ria’s words served as warning bells to Chris’ head and he felt like his world was crumbling. If Reid had gone to testify and Jose was dead, Chris knew he would definitely be implicated. His eyes dimmed, as he wondered if he was the one who had pushed Jose off the building. But then he was quite sure that he didn't push Jose that hard. However, the thought of him being responsible for Jose’s death couldn't stop ringing in his mind. What if Reid had gone to the police to implicate him? Chris sat on the bed, his hands holding onto his head as he buried them in between his legs. On the other hand, Ria stood up and started to approach the door. “Where are you going?” Chris asked with a frown. “Your father is here. My brother informed him of what was going on…” Ria’s words were like another blow to Chris. He recalled how the butler had asked him not to cause any trouble or scandal. His father was on a trip and it seemed it was crucial to the Westminster family. And so, he watched Ria

“Young Master, do you still want to go in?” The bodyguard with Chris spoke up, right after Mia’s father was gone. Chris was momentarily pulled out of his thoughts and he nodded, wondering if it would be the right time to go in. After all, Mia’s mother was still in there. However, before he could even finish thinking, the door opened again and Mia’s mother ran out, going after her husband. Chris took a sigh of dread, seeing how frantic she was, and didn't know what to think next. But then, he knew it was his time to go in. He walked forward, and knocked on the door as Mia looked up to see him and she stared at him with wide eyes filled with disbelief. They stood in silence for a few more moments before Chris stepped in with a somber expression. “How are you–”“Get out!” Mia screamed, her eyes going dark and angry. “What do you mean?” Chris frowned, confused. “I said get out! You traitor!” She screamed again, leaving. Chris was speechless but then, he was worried that she could

Butler Rico led Chris and Ria straight to the CEO’s office as he explained everything that entailed Chris’ new position. “How do I navigate this?” Chris frowned, his eyes going dark as he sat behind his huge desk. “Don’t worry, you will have a consultant to teach you everything you need to know. It will be like you are still in college...” The butler assured him as he rambled on and on. Chris understood perfectly but then the burden of heading such a large company, with no clue was daunting. “You will have a meeting with the directors soon. We need to introduce you as the new CEO.” Butler Rico said, his eyes shining excitedly. “Are you ready?” He asked Chris. “Yes.” Chris nodded, standing up to his feet. He realized there was no moment of rest for him. He had to start working hard so he could return as the powerful man his father wanted him to be. “Ria, follow me.” The butler called Ria out so they could go prepare the meeting room. And Chris was asked to come in later. Soon,

The whole office turned silent as Genie’s eyes widened in shock. She covered her mouth while shaking her head in disbelief. And then she went ahead to argue with Rico. “Mr. Rico…” She whispered at first, “I think you are mistaken. That boy doesn't even look like a director, not to talk of a CEO.”“Are you making this up?” Rico looked at her with a look of disdain, but then he shook his head. He didn't have the time or patience to explain himself to her so, he walked forward, pushing Shawn out of the way to get to Chirs. “Are you out of your mind? I said let him go.” He barked. The men immediately let Chris go and he stood there, dusting his hand with a calm expression. “I'm sorry, Young Master. They must have been mistaken. This won’t repeat itself again.” Rico immediately bowed, and dread was starting to fill his body seeing the way Chris was so calm. Immediately, Rico turned to Genie, “Get over here and apologize!”Genie was flustered, her eyes turned pale and red simultaneous
