Xavier looked behind him and saw Louisa. She was wearing a thin nightgown as she crossed her arms. She looks like a cat about to raise her claws.

“Good evening, mother,” Xavier greeted.

“Hah! What’s good about meeting each other tonight? Seeing you will never be pleasant,” Louisa answered.

Suddenly, there was a delicate atmosphere in the air, thin as ice that could be shattered at any moment. Between Xavier and Louisa, a silent war raged. The subtle desire of each person to advance or defend was concealed on their facades.

The maid held her breath while watching. She does not want to meddle between the feud of the foster son and the second wife. However, she lost any chance to escape.

“That’s right,” Xavier agreed to Louisa's statement after a long time. “My mother won’t be happy to see me, I know that.”

Louisa’s face crumpled as she heard him call her that way again.

How brazen, Louisa thought.

“I don’t remember allowing you to call me ‘mother’. I did not give birth to trash.”

“Ahh

    Louisa swept her table, throwing all things she treasured. The bonsai tree she's been raising for five years hit the floor and a crashing noise echoed in the room. Broken pieces of ceramic vase scattered on the floor and the carpet. From her bloodshot eyes which were always calmed, show blossoming resentment. A great anger thrummed through her veins, pulsing and pounding. Her face was all red, she looked like a volcano that was about to erupt. “Damn!” she cursed and slammed the table once again. The maid standing in front of the room heard the crashing noises which didn't seem to subside. Their shoulders stiffened as they prayed that Louisa would not take her anger on them. Louisa always tried to be composed wherever she is. But this time, she failed to hold her pacific. Of course, she blamed it all on the guy who spoke words that were as fierce as fire.

    Inside the warehouse, countless kids were tied together in ropes. They were all kidnapped by the Spade’s men.These healthy kids will be sold to China. They will either have their organs out or work in bars as prostitute slaves.For these kids, there are no hope. Everyone was crying, regretting their decisions. Most of them were kidnapped while they were playing outside the house. Some were on their way home from school. Others got separated from their parents in the public space. Over all, these young kids regretted letting themselves away from their parents.They understood how the world works when they were held captives with no proper foods, ventilation and sanitation.They kept on praying that sooner or later, their parents would come and pick them up from this dirty place filled with evil men. However, days passed, but they were still locked here.There is no hope, they thought.But among the kids, a 15-year-old girl, named Merly, thinks differently from the others.She does not

    Xavier and Gian finished freeing the kids from the ropes around their hands and feet. After that, Gian looked at the children, who were holding their sobs.“Listen young brats,” Gian said. “The door is open. If you keep running towards the right side, you can see the main exit of this place. Run as much as you can and never look back. If you are lucky, you’ll live.”The kids looked at each other. From this time onwards, each of them is on their own.“Those who are old enough, guide the young one and make sure they won’t make a noise. Understand?” Gian asked.The oldest kids in the group nodded their heads.“Now, go.”One by one, they started to run and exited the warehouse.As the children made their way out, Xavier saw a boy on the ground. He was beaten by the two men a moment ago and now, he cannot move an inch.Looking at the pitiful kid, Xavier remembered his son, Simon, who was also around the kid’s age. Thinking this, he felt empathetic towards the boy.“Leave it,” Gian said whe

    Huff… Huff… Merly breathed heavily while crawling back. The kid she carried on her back died. Other kids successfully escaped the port, but because she offered help, she was stuck in this place.‘And probably, I will die here!’ Merly thought.“Be thankful kid,” the man, who was holding the knife, said. “Dying like this is better than being sold.”Merly agreed to that a moment ago. Instead of working as a prostitute or having her stomach opened, she said she would rather die in this place. But now that she’s standing in front of the gate of death, she realized that she still wanted to live.‘I am scared! I don’t want to die! Please! Please someone save me! Please!’ Oddly, Merly remembered the two masked men who came to save the kids. She wished that the two men were still here and saved her once again.Save her?Why would they save a lowly girl like her?Bit by bit, Merly accepted that only stupid people would take the risk to shield the blade that was coming in her way.‘I must al

    “A frightened girl, a dead child, a guard kneeling on the ground and an unknown man who turned his head away from me. What is this?” Brethart, Haiden’s brother, asked while pointing a gun towards Xavier’s back. Xavier was told that this port was being used by one of the Mafia’s Capo, Spade. In case, he thought he might encounter the boss’ enemy here. But it wasn’t Spade, nor anyone from the Mafia family. Instead, the youngest son of the Black family made his appearance. ‘Why? Why is Brethart here?’ Xavier shouted inwardly while keeping his head facing the North. “Wait, Sir! You can’t k-kill him!” the guard, who had a fight with Xavier, warned Brethart. Xavier could not look back, but with the guard’s warning, he knew that Brethart was holding a gun in his hand, and that he almost shot his back. “Why can’t I shoot him?” Brethart asked the guard. The guard, who works under Spade management, looked at Xavier’s back. The Mafia boss came here with a mask on his face; on which said th

    Xavier was showered with sweats, his head felt the heat of running, from his thighs to the scalp of his head.With heavy breaths that sounded like raspy air slipping out from the narrow pipe, he put the little girl into the back seat of the car.Squeak. The leather seats made squeaking and creaking sounds as the girl hurriedly placed herself safely inside the car. Her adrenaline hasn’t subsided yet and her enlarged pupils showed it.Xavier looked down and met the girl’s frightened and confused gaze.“Stay there and…”Bang! Bang! Bang!Bullets tore the wall of the large warehouses and sent broken glass flying into the air. Xavier covered himself, crossing his arms and then snapped out when he realized that he should leave this place as soon as possible.“Duck!” he shouted to the girl.Seeing the severity of the situation, the girl ducked her head down inside the back seat as if doing an earthquake drill. There are no walls to collapse but instead showering bullets are waiting to c

Both of them were leaning their backs on the wall, looking at nothing, and saying nothing.It’s getting late and Xavier had to go back to the Black mansion. But he knew he cannot go not unless he and Gian would talk about what they saw before.“Did you know that Brethart has connections with the Mafia group?” Xavier asked, breaking the silence.With his arms crossed, Gian lifted his head and answered. “No. This is the first time Brethart appeared in that place. Haiden kept his identity from the Black family so there’s no way Brethart knows a thing. Even if Spade is an enemy, he isn’t allowed to spread Haiden’s position in the organization. It is the number rule. The oth

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

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

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

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

The most important thing is that we got our revenge. Louisa and Bret
