Philip's spine tingled with a shiver as he gazed upon Alonso's eyes. He couldn't fathom how a person without any connections could climb the ranks of the Castillo empire in less than a month, a feat he had been struggling with for years.As he sat there, listening to Alonso speak, Philip's mind raced with questions. Who could this man be?"You mentioned earlier that I threatened people," Alonso began, his tone laced with authority. "Care to explain why Fredrick was seen in the doctor's office during his last visit?"Philip froze, his disappointment in Fredrick evident in his gaze. He had warned him to be discreet.Perry, who had been previously content, now looked bewildered. "What are you talking about?" he asked."It may interest you all to know that Fredrick here was pressuring the doctor to change the cause of our beloved Chairman's death, your father" Alonso revealed, causing the room to fall silent."At first, I couldn't fathom why he would do such a thing. But knowing who he wo

He couldn't help but wonder what was going on. Despite having lost her husband, his mother was wearing bright colours and a smile that seemed out of place.Before they sat down to eat, his mother gave him a smile that was almost too good to be true. that his life was about to go back to what it used to be. When the door creaked open, he looked up to see an old friend standing before him. It was someone he never thought he would see again, and the shock made his food turn sour in his mouth.

He couldn't sit still a

*****Returning to the moment when Perry unexpectedly encountered Philip, Betty, and Gray.*****"Why do both of you appear as though you have just encountered a supernatural apparition? Additionally, why are there peculiar-looking men loitering within the confines of my father's residence?" she inquired in bewilderment "Moreover, what is the significance of this lavish arrangement? Is there a festivity transpiring that has eluded my knowledge?" she added, while approaching the table adorned with an array of delectable cuisine.To this, Perry bemoaned, "Ironically, following your downfall at the workplace today, you should have sought refuge somewhere in shame, rather than squandering food."Subsequently, he hurled insults, "And you, conniving with your illegitimate son to murder my father, have the audacity to usher in a new man to his abode, within a mere few hours of his demise? You are a devil incarnate." However, Philip warned him sternly never to demean his mother with derogatory

The fear of calling him and hearing the truth terrified her.Earlier, she had contacted the General and relayed everything Gray had told her.

It wasn't until she stumbled upon a photograph that her suspicions began to take shape once more.She found herself struggling to fall asleep, her mind a chaotic jumble of thoughts.

As she sat there, lost in thought, a sudden realization hit her like a ton of bricks. Her hands trembled as she slowly put the pieces together - could Alonso be Orlando in disguise? The idea was almost too far-fetched to entertain, and yet a part of her couldn't help but wonder. She quickly dismissed the notion, chiding herself for entertaining such a ridiculous idea.But then, another more sinister thought crossed her mind - what if Alonso was somehow responsible for Orlando's disappearance? The mere possibility sent shivers down her spine, and her heart began to race with fear and uncertainty. Could it be that the man she had agreed to marry was hiding a dark secret? It was a terrifying prospect, and yet she couldn't bring herself to fully believe it.Her mind was in turmoil, and she couldn't help but wonder what other secrets lay hidden beneath the surface. Were there more clues to Orlando's disappearance that she had yet to uncover? The more she thought about it, the more she real

“If it is about what happened at the meeting yesterday, I am sorry about that. I just wanted to make you proud and also keep to the end of my bargain” Alonso's explanation hung in the air, and Perry struggled to make sense of what he was saying. The tension in the room was so thick you could cut it with a knife, and no one dared to make a sound.Perry winced in pain as she tried to shift her position on the couch, her injured toe throbbing with every movement. She could feel Alonso's eyes on her, but she refused to meet his gaze, choosing instead to stare blankly at the wall.Despite the sharp pain shooting up from her feet, she mustered the strength to ask, "Could it be possible that you're using this as a tactic to avoid disclosing the identity of the person who incessantly calls you?"The General inquired with a sense of curiosity, "May I ask, what would be your part of the agreement?" His intention was to shift Perry's focus away from Alonso and onto the topic at hand.Alonso was

Both parties vehemently denied that the locket in question was the same as the one in the photograph. Despite their protests, Perry persisted, unleashing a barrage of threats until Alonso relented and produced the locket.Perry's eyes widened as she gazed upon the locket that now dangled from Alonso's neck. It was identical to the one Orlando had treasured and vowed never to remove, claiming it was a talisman that would guide him back home."Orlando always said that this locket held the key to his return," Perry divulged, her voice choked with emotion.She hobbled over to the General and snatched the photograph from his grasp, carefully juxtaposing it against Alonso's face. Perry meticulously scrutinized the two images, searching for any discrepancies or similarities that might provide insight into the mystery at hand.Alonso, his voice quivering with nervousness, asked, "May I inquire as to what you are presently trying to do?" The General, equally anxious, seconded the question, app

The General turned the doorknob and swung the door open, only to find himself startled by the unexpected visitors who stood before him. Mr Arnold stood tall and imposing, with Mr George Blackwood at his side. Before the General could utter a word of greeting, Arnold stormed past him and into the living room, his eyes scanning the space in search of someone.Alonso, who had been enjoying a moment of peace and quiet, was taken aback by Arnold's sudden arrival. The man demanded to know why Alonso had been ignoring his calls, but the young lad was too frightened to respond. Perry, who had been present in the room the entire time, felt her heart race as she watched the tense exchange unfold.Arnold's attention turned to Perry, who was stunned to see him standing there. Ever since the conference meeting, she had been plagued with a flurry of questions that she had wanted to ask both him and Mr Blackwood. It seemed as though the heavens had answered her prayers by bringing them both to her d
