A man got out of a black SUV. Everyone seemed to be bewitched by his good looks. Especially when the man smiled, he looked sweet and seemed to transmit a positive aura to everyone. In fact, his smile was so contagious that the people in the showroom smiled too.
The man observed his surroundings. The showroom, which only opened about two months ago, was already crowded with visitors.In addition to affordable cars, there were also luxury cars for the upper class.
"How are you, Gav?" asked a blond-haired man. He was Gavin's confidant at the showroom.
"Good news, Jef," Gavin replied. They both high-fived as usual. "Come with me to the private room. I want to talk to you about something."
Jeffry followed behind Gavin. He was so proud to be working here. Jeffry didn't expect that Gavin would live independently. He had thought that Gavin would be just like his three brothers, equally extravagant. In fact, Gavin is different from the others. Moreover, his achievements for more than a year have made people admire Gavin.
Gavin Halsley, he successfully opened four five-star hotels and also two restaurants in major cities. In addition, Gavin collaborated with Andreas Maverrick and Park Ha-Neul. The three of them worked together to build elite housing. Gavin's efforts were not in vain in approaching the two men. Now, Gavin can open the showroom he has always dreamed of.
Not just the two of them, there was Robert who was willing to pour in more funds. In fact, almost all of Robert's wealth was given to Gavin. He believed that Gavin could manage it and everything has now been proven. Gavin was able to rise to the top. He is also among the top ten richest young entrepreneurs.
"I heard that there are employees here who intend to rob." Gavin turned on his laptop. He opened some documents that needed to be checked.
Jeffry nodded. "That person is already at the police station."
"By the way, what about the informant I wanted to hire. Is there one already?"
"Already. He is a reliable informant. It's just that it's not a small amount of money to hire him. But, the problem is ...." Jeffry hesitated to say it. He scratched the back of his neck, which was not itchy. "She's a girl."
Gavin's fingers that were dancing on the keyboard stopped. He looked at Jeffry. "A girl? Are there no men?" he said a little annoyed.
"Only he has the courage to come forward to face this case. They're all still in love with life."
There was a few minutes of silence between them. Until finally Gavin gave instructions that made Jeffry feel dead on his feet. He knew the extent of Gavin's madness because they had been friends since university. However, this time Gavin was really crazy.

Gavin flashed a faint smile as he arrived at the roadside coffee shop. He paid the taxi fare, then entered the shop. Eagle-sharp black eyes scanned the room. He stepped lightly over to a brown-haired woman dressed in all black. Her face was covered by a mask.
"Tiger," Gavin greeted. Suddenly, the woman was a little surprised. She scanned Gavin's appearance, then nodded her head.
"Have you been waiting long?"
"I just arrived." Tiger's voice sounded firm and relaxed.
Gavin took out a document from inside his briefcase. "As per the agreement we discussed over e-mail. But, it's not an ordinary signature. I want a fingerprint using each other's blood."
Tiger tilted his head slightly. Then, he nodded confidently. The task he had received was indeed very difficult, but Gavin promised to pay him handsomely. In fact, he would even step in if there were any difficulties.
Gavin's smile grew even wider when he saw that Tiger had put his thumbprint on the agreement. He didn't know how many years he would be hiring Tiger. It was very difficult to find informants in this country. Gavin planned to eliminate Tiger after his mission was complete. Who knew if that person would betray behind his back.
Later, Gavin gave Tiger the task of spying on the mental hospital where his mother was being treated. He was a little odd because he saw bruises on his mother's hands several times. The staff told him that his mother was having a tantrum and was difficult to handle. However, Gavin's heart didn't believe him.
Gavin could have hired an informant from his family. However, that would have been taking his own life.
"I need a report from you as soon as possible, Soraya," Gavin said before leaving Soraya. He had to rush back to the office before the lunch hour was over.
***
Two days have passed. Gavin had not received any reports from Soraya for today. Yesterday, she had said that her mother was fine.
Gavin was currently checking the financial statements of several branches of The Next company. However, his concentration was broken when the door burst open. He chuckled when he saw Ed walk into his office without any manners. Ed sat down on the sofa and stretched out his body. A true unemployed man.
"You know what, Gav? Are the four of us worthy of being called brothers?"
Gavin stopped his work. "If you just want to tell stories, you better get out of here."
"If we were born from the same womb, would we be like everyone else in general?"
Gavin sighed. "We're not that close, Ed. You'd better keep quiet."
"Did you read the news? Have a hell of a day, Gav." Ed smiled slyly. He waved his hand before closing the door to the room. He just wanted to sleep over. However, warming up Gavin couldn't hurt.
"Damn you, Ed!" growled Gavin. He grabbed the glass of black coffee and threw it in a random direction.
Gavin had read about it this morning. This corruption case still had no clear evidence. However, the executives concluded that this was Gavin's doing. Evidently, when his position rose, Gavin owned hotels, restaurants and showrooms. They all demanded that Gavin reimburse all losses, which amounted to around 4 billion, as well as Gavin's demotion from the company.
Gavin was convinced that this was the work of his stepmother, Hazel. She was the only woman who hated Gavin to death. In fact, she even dared to attack him openly. However, Gavin couldn't trust Beatrice either, even though she looked kind and motherly, she could be wearing a mask.
The phone rang, Gavin picked it up lazily. He smiled wryly at the information from his secretary. Then Gavin said, "Alright. I'll be right there."
Gavin walked casually, he still spread a sweet smile to the employees. Instead of getting blasphemy or hateful stares, they openly encouraged Gavin. They believed that Gavin was not sneaky and greedy like the others.
The executive meeting was held abruptly. It was all due to orders from The Next's owner, Caesar Alexavier. All the executives were present, except Park Ha-Neul, the biggest investor in the company.
The situation in the room was so chaotic, they all demanded that Gavin step down from the Manager position.
"Even though you're Caesar's son, I can't let this company fall apart because of someone like you. I told you, you don't deserve that position," William said passionately. He kept cornering Gavin. It was only natural since he had been on Ed Franklin's side all along.
"I will be responsible for all these losses. " Caesar spoke up.
The meeting's decision relieved Galvin. All media reports about him had been deleted simultaneously. Caesar was the one who was responsible for all these losses. Finally, Gavin officially resigned from The Next company. This is all purely because of Gavin's wishes.
This afternoon Gavin didn't go back to Alexavier's house, he decided to go back to Jeffry's apartment. Gavin was reluctant to meet the residents there.
Just as Gavin was about to close his eyes, Soraya called to give Gavin a report. Sleepiness was instantly replaced by anger.
***
Gavin walked into a seedy alley. The lighting was dim. Gavin could vaguely see the walls of the house being scribbled on. He smelled so bad that he wanted to vomit. He also had to struggle to walk when he was in a very narrow alley. In fact, Gavin had to tilt his body in order to walk. Motorcycles or bicycles couldn't enter the access road here."Where are you? Do you want to play a prank on me?" Gavin scolded when the phone connected to Soraya. He'd been following the Maps directions, but he hadn't gotten there yet."I'm right in front of you."Gavin hung up the phone as soon as his eyes caught sight of Soraya. He rushed over to Soraya. She invited him to talk to her in a rundown and old house. However, inside it was truly extraordinary. It was cozy and clean."This is your place?" asked Gavin. His eyes scanned every corner of the room. He stared in amazement at the neatly arranged books and files."The safest place. I had to send you here because I was on the lam," Soraya said too h
Two days ago, Gavin, Kiana, and Euginia had moved into Robert's home. The middle-aged man welcomed the trio with joy. Robert had also hired two doctors, specifically to take care of Euginia and Kiana.Tonight they ate together. There was warmth between them even though Euginia was silent and occasionally she would stare at the people around her. However, they didn't mind. Gavin smiled when he saw Robert gazing longingly at his mother. Gavin knew very well that Robert and Euginia's relationship was not going well. Euginia, who chose to go with Caesar even without Robert's blessing, made him angry and reluctant to see Euginia. Although Euginia has tried to make their relationship better, it is very difficult.Now Gavin knows that Robert actually loves Euginia. It's just that the disappointment still hasn't died out."If it hadn't been for that bastard Caesar a long time ago, I would've taken my daughter from that damned place," Robert cursed. He looked at Gavin with a meaningful smile.
Gavin dragged Louis to the dungeon in Robert's residence. The man looked resigned as if he had no hope of living. His entire body was covered in bruises. Blood oozed onto his clothes. The fishy smell was so strong.Louis sat weakly. His hands were handcuffed. The man's head was bowed down. Occasionally he chuckled as Gavin hit him."I won't let you die easily. You have to feel what my mom and sister felt!"Gavin gripped Louis' chin firmly. Euginia's image screamed in terror when Louis came in terror and also when he tortured her mother. Gavin felt sick and angry at the same time."Louis," Gavin called in a low, threatening voice. He had a mysterious smirk on his lips. "We're the same, aren't we? Being unwanted children and even called trash. Even though we tried so hard."Gavin held Louis' shoulders. The look in his eyes became gentle. "Have you ever thought about getting back at your father? Come on, let's do it together," Gavin said with conviction. He gave hope and comfort at the sa
Gavin stood stiffly staring at the VVIP room. He tried to regulate his breathing and clear his mind. Once inside. Beatrice and Hazel were already sitting on either side of Caesar. The two women were trying to get Caesar's attention. However, it didn't work at all. Caesar stared boredly at both of them. However, when he noticed Gavin's presence, the old man gave him a genuine smile and a longing gaze. Suddenly, this angered Hazel. The woman clucked and glared."I thought you didn't remember family," Hazel said. One eyebrow raised in a dismissive smile. "I thought you wouldn't be successful. It's also great that you were able to get Mr. Park Ha-Neul and Mr. Andreas .... You fox!"Gavin clenched his hands into fists. Hazel was really annoying. Maybe it was because she had power. So, she could have her way with words. Gavin's annoyed face turned into a normal one. He spread a sweet smile as if he was meeting a harmonious family."How are you, Dad?" asked Gavin with a smile as warm as the
There is no sad destiny in this world. Everything depends on our choices. However, sometimes what we choose is not necessarily right. Just like Euginia. She regrets all her choices. If time could be turned around, then she would go with the person she loves.That's the summary of Euginia's notebook that Gavin found a few days ago. He never knew that his mother had bigger problems than this. Gavin only knew that his mother pursued love and left his father, Robert. However, it turned out that Euginia's love was not for the man who was currently Gavin's father, Caesar Alexavier."Damn it!"Gavin hit the table hard. The veins of his neck stood out, showing that he was currently overcome with anger. The man's eyes glanced at the ringing cell phone. There was an incoming call from an unknown number. He let the call end on its own. Then, there was an incoming message.'Gavin. It's Lyodra.'Gavin repeatedly caught his breath. He was not happy about his older sister returning to this country.
Two hours ago, Gavin met with Park Ha-Neul and Andreas Maverick. The three of them had just shared the profits from an elite housing development business. At the meeting, Andreas left first so Gavin and Park Ha-Neul could chat casually. The two of them initially chatted about business. However, their conversation went off the rails when Park Ha-Neul asked something that shook Gavin."Your mother was my first love," Park Ha-Neul said. His eyes stared straight into the cold cup of black coffee. The corners of his lips twitched. He seemed to be remembering the past."I knew it," Gavin said. "He really loved you enough to sacrifice himself."Park Ha-Neul looked up. The two of them stared at each other. The man's hand rubbed his face roughly. Then, he told her about his failed love story.At that time, they were still university students. The love story of the two of them was so famous with thick romance. People always envied Euginia's figure. However, somehow everything changed. Euginia s
This morning Gavin was still relaxing on the balcony of the room. He looked so handsome even though he was only wearing a white t-shirt combined with cloth shorts. He was sitting on a chair while focusing on the laptop on the mini round table. Occasionally, his forehead wrinkled to show confusion. His hand reached for the glass of black coffee that had begun to cool.His sharp eyes gazed up at the morning sky. Slowly his lips were drawn upwards to form a knotted smile line. Her eyeballs twinkled as she admired the beauty of the morning sky. However, the gentle gaze and charming smile disappeared instantly, replaced by a cold, hateful stare.Gavin remembered an hour ago. When he had just woken up, Caesar's secretary had called him. Requesting that Gavin pay a visit to Alexavier's residence. Caesar is currently ill. The man's heart disease had returned and he needed intensive care."What a hassle," Gavin muttered as he put on his black suit.Gavin hurried out of his room. He didn't have
It wasn't Gavin's first time driving recklessly. The man pressed the horn repeatedly when a vehicle blocked his path. It was not uncommon for drivers to yell expletives at Gavin.At the moment, Gavin was in a tizzy. His mind is filled with Kiana, his little sister. Five minutes ago, one of his men informed him that Kiana had been in a single accident. The taxi she was traveling in had crashed into concrete, allegedly because the driver was sleepy.Arriving at the hospital, Gavin ran like a maniac. He was looking for Kiana's hospital room. Time and time again, Gavin almost ran into people passing by. Gavin even accidentally pushed a man his own age, causing him to fall and almost hit his head on a trash can.Once in front of Kiana's door, Gavin barged straight in. He almost lost his balance if he didn't hold on to the side of the bed.In front of him Kiana was closing her eyes. Her head was wrapped in a white cloth. There were abrasions on her arms and face.Gavin's hand reached out to
