With the man’s confession, they have confirmed that Cesar had faked the death of Xavier’s family to know if Xavier is still alive. If Xavier failed to control himself, he probably fell into Cesar’s trap again. Thanks to Gian, he avoided the catastrophe. Xavier walked out of the torture room with the relief. He was happy to know that Cesar could not find Bridgette and his son. However, he felt so damn disappointed in himself. While he was dragging his feet on the floor, Gian bumped onto his shoulder. Xavier did not wince, and instead he only looked at Gian, who was walking away from him. Gian did not call him ‘boss’, and he did not even look back. It is obvious that he is so mad. Halting his pace, Xavier only stared at Gian’s back until he completely disappeared. If not because of Kija, he might stay standing in that place forever. “Boss,” Kija called. Xavier stared at the boy. The boy glanced at the direction where Gian went and then diverted his eyes back to Xavier. “Don’t wo
Odeen Slyvia, codename Dos “Spade”, walked inside his office with a face that looked like an angry bull. As soon as he sat on the sofa, he grabbed the vase on the center table and threw it on the ground.The vase dropped onto the floor and shattered into many pieces.Holding his horses with a puff, he tried to calm down.He was so mad that Gian embarrassed him in front of everyone.“How… How dare he… That young rude b*stard,” he swore.Setting aside his anger, Spade remembered the most important thing to consider. He started shaking his leg and then tapping his finger on his lap.“I was sure that he died,” Spade uttered through his gritted teeth. “The boss died already. His body was set on fire that day. So, why is he still alive?!”Just like what Gian suspected, it was Spade who planned to abduct the boss and kill him. His men said that they burned Haiden’s body. Therefore, when Gian gathered the members and showed that the boss was alive, Spade was so bewildered.A dead person came
Sinned or not, Cesar would kill everyone who worked for him after the contracts.Even if Xavier finished his three years contract, the ending would be the same. It is agreeable to say that Xavier should blame himself for accepting the job from the beginning. However, it would not justify Lewelyn’s wrong accusation to Xavier.Thanks to the drug, Xavier’s face changes. He became the Mafia boss and learned the truth. Yet, the grudge he has for Lewelyn would not change.‘I was looking forward meeting the Madam. I didn’t expect to see her this soon,’ Xavier thought as he stepped into the living room where the guests were waiting.On the long leather couch, an old fat man was sitting next to a sexy young lady. When they saw Xavier, they both stood up from their seats.“Haiden Black! Good day!” Cesar greeted, opening his arms.Steeling himself with a grit, Xavier’s red eyes went to the woman next to Cesar.That’s her, Lewelyn Fugito. Cesar’s wife, who accused Xavier of r*pe.Today, Lewelyn
There are five reasons why rich people prefer restaurants over fast food chains.Food, facility, decor, service and ambience.So, when Xavier offered Cesar and Lewelyn to eat breakfast with him in the “Dine&Dash restaurant”, they thought they will eat in a comfortable and elegant place. But as soon as they stepped inside the crowded place which is similar to cafeteria they see in school or office, Cesar and Lewelyn were shocked.The chairs and tables are ordinary looking and there are no tablecloths for the table. The background music volume level was set way too loud, causing the diners to yell at each other. Without carpeted floors, the wood chairs scraped noisily at the vinyl floor.A man like Cesar, who will run for Mayor, hates places like this, and he swears this kind of business will never see him again.‘I couldn’t believe he invited us to this kind of sh*t!’ Cesar complained inwardly while standing at the entrance of the dining place.There was nothing wrong eating in this pl
Ting! [“Your due date is today. Pay your debts or you’ll have your head chop off.”] Jacob held his neck as he read the text message from his debtors. He did his best to find money to pay for his loans from gambling. But still, it wasn’t enough. ‘If I could not pay them, I might really die!’ he worried. It was then Jacob remembered the car accident yesterday. When he saw the expensive car, he purposely tailgated it, thinking that it would bring him fast money. ‘But until now, they haven’t contacted me!’ Jacob complained inwardly while biting his nail and staring at his phone screen. ‘I can still remember the plate number. Should I call the police and report them?’ But if he reported them and the police reviewed the CCTV, they would find out that Jacob was at fault. ‘Sh*t!’ he cursed silently. He only came to work because it is payday. But Jacob was so scared that the loan shark would find him here. ‘What should I do?’ Jacob, who was so eager to find money as soon as possible,
“I won’t. I don’t like to.”“W-Why?”“Because I am not a Saint.” The first reason why Cesar approached Haiden Black is because he wanted to know the weakness of the Black family. He changed his mind when the foster son said that he has 4% shares of the corporation and that he is willing to help Cesar’s candidacy.Cesar thought that he could use the idiot and good-for-nothing Haiden. But, when he saw how Haiden humiliated the manager of the restaurant, he found himself getting fond of him.‘I hate the Black family. But perhaps, I can make a good relationship with this young man,’ Cesar thought while staring at Haiden.If only he knows the real identity hiding behind Haiden’s face, Cesar would regret thinking like this.“I was so stupid for believing you for a second,” Fidel complained before he grabbed Jacob’s collar and forced him to stand up.“H-Help me!” Jacob reached for Haiden’s hand. Too late, Fidel and his men pulled him away.“I really wanted to chop your head in front of ever
[“Lend me 5 million dollars. Then, I will pay you twice its amount.”]With a perfect swing of his gold club, Gabriel made a good shot.Today, he went out with his family to play golf. This is to celebrate his wedding anniversary with his second wife, Louisa. The two of them met in this place, and playing golf during their anniversary became a tradition.Although he had to focus on the occasion, he couldn’t forget his foster son’s offer the other night.‘Can Haiden really help Cesar win the election?’ Gabriel pondered.Haiden got 4% shares of the Black corporation on his own, and without the help of anyone from their family. Haiden deserves recognition for that. Therefore, Gabriel was wondering if Haiden can really double the amount of money with his own skill too.‘Should I trust that b*stard?’ Gabriel thought so hard.“That is a good shot!”If not for Louisa’s voice, Gabriel would not remember that he is in the middle of the game.Forging a cough, Gabriel looked at the ball and fixed
The feeling when you walked through the doorway and forgot what you’re there, that’s how Xavier felt to walk through the hospital door and enter the psychiatric ward for the first time. A little bit surreal.It wasn’t walking in the park or like the stereotypes everyone just saw from television. Because movies don’t tell the whole story that someone should expect in the mental ward.As Kija escorted Xavier through the industrial-looking doors, he was so nervous. The aura inside the hospital alternates between quiet and noise.There were times when it was deafeningly quiet. Then suddenly, someone would shout.“I heard the demons chanting the name of my savior! Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ!”Xavier looked around the people’s reaction upon hearing the shout. Nurses were nonchalant. Patients, who went here to get admitted whether it was voluntarily or involuntarily, have a lifeless look in their eyes. They barely blink.He couldn’t explain if it was a good or bad experience, because he fel
In front of the wide blue sea, the red sunset to the West. Blue and Red met on the horizon. “Do you know what will happen if you mix blue and red?” A man with blonde hair and blue eyes asked while holding his fishing rod. "It's Green. The color of our eyes is blue and red. Maybe that’s why your surname is Green.” The other guy looked at him. “It’s Purple, not green.” he answered. “…” A black crow flew in the sky. “Should I laugh now?” Xavier, who still has Haiden’s face, asked. Haiden, who still had Xavier’s face, looked at him. “Shit. It's not Green?” Xavier shook his head. “Damn it. I sound so cool before. Huh! You are so serious, brother-in-law. It’s hard to joke with you,” Haiden said. "But it is not a joke," Xavier said, laughing It’s been three years since Xavier and Haiden finished their revenge on the Black family and on Fugito. A lot of things happened during the three years. Xavier had to continue his role as Haiden Black, the heir of the Black corporation. Jus
“I should have killed you before, Haiden.”Gabriel pointed the gun at Xavier. His eyes went to the note in Xavier’s hand, then back to Xavier’s surprised face.“Were you searching for evidence to know that I am Hades B?” Gabriel asked.Xavier doesn’t know what to feel right now. Will he feel sad? Unbothered? Guilty? He had no idea.“You care for Rose?” Xavier asked.“Huh?”“The passcode was Rose’s birthday.”Gabriel frowned as he placed his index finger on the trigger of the gun.“And this note,” Xavier showed it to him. “You were supposed to send this to Odeen. Why? Did Odeen tell you who Haiden is? What’s his purpose? And that he’s looking for you?”The Chairman narrowed his eyes.“Why are you talking as if you are not Haiden?”Xavier pursed his lips and took a deep breath.“You’re not Haiden, are you?” Gabriel guessed. He tightly held the gun and shouted, “Who are you?!”Xavier didn’t answer as he tightly held the ledger and the note.“When you came back after you went missing, you
Evening.The moon was peeking behind the clouds. Light entered the window of Gabriel’s office.A man entered inside while dragging his feet which were as light as feather.It was Xavier.Haiden and Bridgette succeeded in getting the recorder from Frederick’s wife. Kija spread the rumor and Merly found the hidden documents which will prove Gabriel’s past murder crimes.Now, all Xavier had to do was to find evidence that Gabriel is Mr. Hades B.To do that, Xavier needed Rose’s help.“I need to find a clue as soon as possible,” Xavier said.He began to search around the office. Xavier checked every crook but found nothing.Minutes passed.Xavier sighed as he couldn’t see anything in Gabriel’s office.“Is there nothing to see here? Really?”His red eyes went to the table. Xavier recalled the day when he saw Gabriel close the last cabinet in a hurry as if he didn’t want to get caught.‘I already check that place. But just to make sure, I will check it again.’He sat down and approached the
One autumn night, Gabriel received a letter from Odeen Slyvia.[“Your son found out that you are Mr. Hades B. You should get rid of him.”]Gabriel crumpled the paper around his hand.Ten days passed.Xavier went back to the Black mansion. It was quiet in the mansion because Louisa and Brehart aren’t there anymore.Louisa and Gabriel filed for divorce. Brethart is still in prison. Rose was busy buying shares to strengthen her power over Black corporations.Xavier looked around the place which never became a home for him.‘Everyone is almost finished with their tasks. Now, it’s my turn,’ Xavier thought.He walked forward and the maids greeted him.“Good morning, Sir!”“Hi, Sir!”Ever since Louisa and Brethart disappeared, the maids treat him well. The power changed.“Is Rose here?”“Yes, Sir. She’s in the room.”“Okay.”Xavier walked towards Rose’s room and knocked on the door.“Come in,” Rose said.Xavier opened the door and went inside.Rose was surprised to see him back.“It’s been
“That is what happened,” Haiden said after telling his story to Xavier and his sister, Bridgette. “Now, it solved everything. Since we have Cesar’s research team, we can find a way to bring back our old appearance,” Xavier said. “You and Bridgette had a hard time,” Haiden said. “But call me selfish. I didn’t regret losing my memories and spending normal days with my sister.” Haiden looked at Bridgette and smiled. Bridgette smiled too. “We fought a lot, right?” Haiden said to Bridgette. “Yes. Now I know why. You are not my husband but my brother.” “And siblings always fight.” Bridgette held Haiden’s hand. “Thank you, brother. For coming back and saving me.” The two smiled at each other. Xavier, who was watching them, felt weird. Is it because Haiden is still wearing his face? ‘We need to find a way to bring back our appearance as soon as possible!’ Xavier thought. “Anyway,” Haiden uttered, getting his hand from his sister. “I still have unfinished business with Gabriel.” Ha
Months ago before Haiden went missing…Haiden finally found a clue about his missing younger sister. He learned that Antoinette changed her name and was adopted by a man who has millions of dollars in debt.But on his way to meet his sister, Haiden found a secret.“Mr. Hades B is father?” Haiden murmured while looking at the letter he saw in Gabriel’s office.It was a secret letter from Spade.[“Sir Hades. We abducted enough children to sell today. If you have time, write me back. – Odeen Slyvia”]Haiden crumpled the paper around his hand.Haiden has two goals.First, find his sister.Second, take revenge on the Black family who humiliated him for years.But when he learned that his foster father was Gabriel, he thought of a new goal.“I will kill you… Gabriel,” he vowed.As the mafia boss ruling the underworld, Haiden spent years looking for Mr. Hades B.It was because Mr. Hades B was the leader of the syndicate who was abducting children. They will sell organs or sell the kids to an
“HE IS THE ONE WHO TRIED TO MURDER OUR BOSS!” Spade realized his mistake. ‘I shouldn’t have trusted Gian.’ “Spade, you fucking traitor,” Alas mumbled. “No matter how much you and the boss fought, I couldn’t believe you’d do that,” Clover said while gritting his teeth. Fuming in anger, Spade thought of nothing except making a way out of here, and venting his anger to Xavier! “It was your fault!” Spade pointed his gun to Xavier and pressed the trigger. Bang! Xavier closed his eyes, waiting for the impact. But he felt nothing. He opened his eyes and saw what happened with a swift move. Gian attacked Spade from behind. When Spade pressed the trigger, his aim was missed. “Once is enough!” Gian shouted before he pinned Spade to the ground. But the Mafioso, who experienced countless battles, did not give up. Spade pulled out another gun from his waist and shot Gian. Bang! “Uck!” “Gian!” “Brother Gian!” Gian dodged the bullet a second late, and had his left chest shot. He
When Xavier went back to the mafia’s house, he recalled the first day he went there.Thousands of mafioso members were present in the large hall. On the second floor, the three Dons and the underboss were standing near the railing.Spade, Alas, Clover, and Gian.But there was a huge difference between before and today.Xavier was looking at them from the ground. And his wife and son were held captive by Spade.Today, he doesn’t need to play as the boss. Instead, he was guilty of a crime against the Harbor Mafia.“B-Bridgette, S-Simon,” Xavier uttered while looking at his family.Two large men were holding his wife and son. Spade was looking down at Xavier with a gun in his hand.He was caught. Xavier knew that Spade finally caught his secret. And the person who made it happen?Xavier tilted his head to Gian. He glared at Gian, who was smiling at him as if nothing happened.‘You bastard!’ Xavier shouted while gawking at Gian.“Everyone! Listen to me!” Spade shouted. “All this time, we
“Congratulations on winning the 8% of the Black Corporation!”Black Corporation.All of the people in the auction hall regretted not buying the shares!But if there’s one person who regretted it the most, it was Louisa.Louisa looked at her husband.Gabriel was gritting his teeth while looking at his wife. When he saw her reaction, he could tell that she was guilty.“You...” Gabriel murmured. “Did you sell your shares to the underground business?”Heuk!Louisa felt like swallowing her tongue.Gabriel, the Chairman of the Black corporation, stood up and exited the hall.“H-Honey! Wait!” Louisa stood up too and followed her husband.Now, Rose and Xavier were left alone in their seats.“Louisa was done for, right?” Rose asked Xavier.“Yes. I don’t think father will forgive her this time,” Xavier answered.“I am curious. How did you make Louisa sell her shares? What tactic did you do?”“It is a secret that I cannot tell. The most important thing is that we got our revenge. Louisa and Bret
