“Brother Gian. Just like what you said, Spade asked his men to investigate if our boss visited a psychiatrist doctor.”Standing by the window, Gian remained quiet while looking outside.Kija stared at his back and asked, “How did you guess it right?”Gian lowered his eyes and tilted his head. “Because it means one thing,” he said.“What is it?”‘If Spade killed the real boss and an impostor suddenly appeared, the first thing that Spade will do is to investigate Haiden’s family background to see if he has a twin. Or, he thought he failed to kill Haiden and Haiden lost his memories.’ It was Gian’s way to know what Spade did to Haiden. He was saddened to think that his old friend was already dead.“After I showed Xavier to everyone and introduced him as the boss, did you confirm the first place Spade visited that time?” Gian asked Kija after ignoring Kija’s former question.Kija smiled and then said, “He visited a warehouse in Montecillo.”Gian wore his suit and placed his gun beside hi
That morning with the Chairman’s cue to transfer the company from Brethart to Haiden, Xavier was brought in the Black E-Commerce company.When Xavier visited the company for the first time, he was wearing a turtleneck and a blazer in a core color.Employees heard that the management changed and that the former boss’ brother will handle the company.They did not expect much because they saw Brethart’s performance for the past years, and now, employees were scared that they might lose their jobs forever. However, when they saw Xavier, they were so surprised.“That is Sir Brethart’s brother? They don’t look alike!” “Didn’t you hear it? The Black family has an adopted son.” “Really?” Even if everyone knows that the new boss is the foster son of the family, they cannot deny how he looks like a true gentleman with a pleasant and respectable persona. His body is firmly-built like a knight waiting to rescue someone in his strong arms.Can he also rescue the company from falling down?Ever
Humiliation.While looking at the floor with wine dripping from the top of his head, to his face and to the tip of her chin, a cold wave of dread washed over Xavier. He was humiliated by Brethart in front of the employees.Brethart wanted him to become the laughing stock of everyone. He thought this was the best way to show Haiden where he should stand. Although Haiden replaced his position as the CEO, Brethart wouldn’t like him to forget that he was his dog, and he will always be. Murmurs buzzed like bees around flowers. Employees gasped as they observed their new boss froze like a statue while watching the wine dripping from his chin onto the ground. They felt their hearts dropped to the pit of their stomach, as they realized how mortifying it might be to stand in his place.They felt the second-hand embarrassment for the new boss. Yet pity cannot do anything. This is not the first time Brethart humiliated someone. His employees experienced it from time to time! They know the feeli
When Xavier thought that Gian was busy doing his job as the Mafioso, he wasn’t sure if that includes being his secretary.Speechless, Xavier looked at Gian, who was roaming around the office.“After you announced that you have 4% shares, you suddenly became the CEO,” Gian said before he turned his head to Xavier.He fixed his round eyeglasses and smiled at him.“And you were showered with wine during your first day,” Gian added as he walked closer.“How did you…?” Xavier asked an incomplete question.Sitting above the desk while looking at the nameplate on the table, Gian guessed, “How did I know that? Everyone was talking about the wine pouring incident as soon as I got here.”“Not that. I mean, how did you become my secretary?”“Forging things, faking identities, these are essential in my occupation. So, as soon as I heard that you will manage this company, I moved right away.”“I would say that it was too fast.”“Coming from a person who said he wants to make impossible things poss
Being Mayor is the best political job, they said. You can get things done and make things happen. And that is what Cesar aimed for.But it was a tough path. Cesar had to win over the city’s residents, launch his own campaign and stay within regulations to qualify as a candidate. Fortunately, there are people who started to support the third in rank candidate.Some were paid. Others were forced by their employers. And they were also people who really believed that Cesar is the kind Samaritan just like what they heard.In the town square where the loud sound of the campaign theme song was played, the crowd gathered while chanting a name.“Cesar! Cesar! Cesar!”Cesar raised his hand to signal everyone to stop. When the noises subsided, Cesar began his speech.“Good day, everyone! Thank you for coming here! It is really an honor to be part of this election. At this moment, we have an amazing opportunity to transform New York into the more gleaming and Charming place it is destined to be!
Excitement was painted on Lewelyn’s face like sparrows flying out of her arse. If a smile can shout, noise would fill the entire empty restaurant.Wearing a Red Slinky Ruched Bodycon Dress which shows her figure, Lewelyn looked at her face into her pocket mirror.“Perfect as ever.”Her clothes are too vulgar for someone who was looking forward to a date. But it was on purpose.Technically speaking, Lewelyn didn’t come to this place to date someone. Rather, she came to meet an acquaintance.A moment ago, Cesar asked her to send roses to Haiden Black and to treat her for dinner. Haiden became the CEO of the E-Commerce company, so they need to strengthen their alliance. Yet for Lewelyn, this is her opportunity to make Haiden hers.With Cesar money, Lewelyn reserved the whole restaurant. Disturbance isn’t allowed during her idle time with the young and sexy CEO.‘And after this, we can go straight to the hotel,’ Lewelyn giggled. She could not wait to experience being held by a manly guy l
“I wanted the steak wel…”Xavier stopped talking when he felt something brushing against his thighs. It wasn’t difficult to know what it was.His red eyes gaped at the woman sitting across him. Lewelyn’s eyes curved into a slight smile. Her twinkling, bright gaze was full of mischief. Xavier could guess what she was up to. Calling it a mistake at this point would be an utter embarrassment as the movement beneath the table had turned increasingly explicit.“Sir?” The waiter called Xavier to ask if there’s any problem why Xavier suddenly halted in the middle of giving his order.Gian, as observant as he can be, noticed the unusual reaction of the man beside him and turned his head to watch what’s happening.Xavier was pale.“I am sorry,” Xavier managed to answer with difficulty. “I wanted my steak to be well-done and…”The point of the heel gently slid up his calf and down again, giving him a strange tingling sensation that shook his thighs in disgust.When Xavier looked at the cause of
Gian went outside to pick up the call. His mood rotten as soon as he heard the report that there will be another schedule for illegal human trafficking tomorrow night.The mastermind of this was no other than Odeen Slyvia, A.K.A Spade.‘Even after killing the boss, he's making another trouble. That sh*t doesn't want me to rest,’ Gian whispered to himself through his clenched teeth.[ “The deal will happen tomorrow night, Sir Gian. It will take place near the 4th Harbor,”] the man continued his report.Soughing air, Gian asked, “What is the estimated time of the deal?”[ “10 pm. The ship which will hold the goods will arrive at 9pm. Then it will sail one hour after.” ] “Where is Kija?” Gian inquired.[ “We haven’t seen him today, boss. Do you want me to find him?” ]Gian sighed. Finding Kija was one of the most challenging tasks for Gian. It was because the kid was very unpredictable.“Never mind. Finding that kid is a waste of time. I will go to the place tonight.”[ “Do you need me
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
