“Dodge the bullet!” Butler Rico’s voice was blasting through the device in Chris’ ears. However, the gun was pointed right at Chris’ head, how would he be able to dodge in time? It was all too sudden for Chris and when he saw Deco put his finger on the trigger and the security men tried to rush forward to get the gun from him, Chris did what he could do at that moment. In the next second, he grabbed Deco’s hand and turned the gun away from his head. But then the trigger had already been pulled and there was a loud sound of gunshot in the air. Bang!!And then another….bang!!The whole hall went into an uproar and the reporters scrambled around in fear while some were bold enough to stay and cover the whole scene. Even the security men were in shock and they stood still as the scene before them unfolded.“How dare you…” Deco shouted, pointing straight at Chris. “How dare you dodge?!” He was so angry that Chris had dodged the bullet and now, Deco was left with turmoil and an impend

Panic surged with Ria as her fists gripped the steering wheel and confusion set in. She contemplated dashing into the hospital building but unfortunately, the reporters blocked everywhere. More so, there were guards outside the hospital blocking the reporters. However, an idea suddenly popped into her head. She knew some of those guards and they would definitely let her in if she went there. In the next second, she hurried out of the car and squeezed herself in between the reporters. Even though she got hit by their cameras a few times, she persevered, moving forward. Finally, she got to the forefront and as the guards saw her, they recognized her immediately. “Miss Ria…” They called out. “Let me in...” Ria had no time to exchange pleasantries. The guards had no objection to letting her in because they knew she was close-knit with their boss. Also, they had not received a directive from Butler Rico to stop her. “Come in…” They quickly stepped aside to let her in. Ria was overjo

Ten hours had passed and nothing had still been said yet about the CEO of West Conglomerate. The public and the reporters were in tension and the shares of the company kept plummeting with no one showing up to assure the stockholders. At this moment, the masked man was seated in a dark sitting room with the only ray of light shining from the gaps in the window. Ever since Ria was brought to his home, he didn't meet her. He wanted to wait a few more hours to see if anything would be said concerning Chris’ death so as to ascertain whether he was really dead or not. But just as Ria said, they wouldn't be announcing his death anytime soon. “Good…” The masked man smirked, his eyes twinkling beneath his mask. He now truly believed that he had gotten rid of his rival and what he had to do now was to stomp on the West Organization. Whoever was going to be their King, whether it was Jones Westminster or anyone else, he wasn't going to let them rise above him.“Announce his death. Also, brin

“Did you follow her?” Butler Rico asked hours later since Ria disappeared. Rico Axe stood before him with a troubled expression. “Yes. She is no longer one of us.” Axe shook his head, a bit dejected. However, that dejected feeling washed away with that of a serious one. “What do we do? Should we inform the master and Alexander? They should know about Ria–”“No.” The butler cut him off quickly. “We still have to handle Chris. I would rather not let the master know that Ria is gone, especially her brother. He is a nut case.” Butler Rico was trying to tread carefully. They all knew Alexander McQueen and even though he carried a handsome face with a very good public image, he was very notorious. Being able to be their master’s assistant for a long while, was no joke, and none of them could determine what he would do when he eventually discovered Ria’s betrayal. “Let’s wait until they get here.” Ricondecided. Even though Axe was not comfortable with that decision, he still nodded in ac

The hallway went silent as that voice boomed in the air. Butler Rico halted his actions and he let go of the doctor and quickly bowed his head. “Master, it’s a pleasure to see you.” He bowed his head, but then a sweat trickled down his face. Rico knew that the master was angry because he had been unable to answer the calls from the master. And with the stormy gaze on the master’s face, Rico knew he must have seen the news. “Where is my son?” Master Jones asked, not bothering to respond to the greetings. Rico quickly stood up straight and opened his mouth to speak but the doctor beat him to it.“You must be Chris’ father, right?” The doctor asked. The doctor sprang up to his feet, knowing that Master Jones must be the father of his patient. And so, he spoke up for the well-being of his patient. “Yes, I am,” Jones replied, taking a few steps forward and he came to the glass wall of the room where Chris was kept. “Is he alive?” Jones asked. “Yes. He is very much alive.” The docto
