“Xavier.” Xavier heard her call his name. It was not a mistake. He held his breath for a short second as he stared at Lewelyn. ‘Did she recognize me?’ Xavier believed that there was no way Cesar or Lewelyn would recognize him as the driver they tried to kill because his face changed. So why?! Why did Lewelyn call him by that name? “Pfft…” Lewelyn laughed. “Your expression is funny,” she said, pointing at Xavier. “Right now, you look like someone who saw a ghost. Were you that flustered that I called another man’s name when I am with you? Did it annoy you that much?” Xavier blinked his eyes before he slowly breathed out. ‘She did not recognize me,’ he let out a sigh of relief with this thought. “At least, I saw a change in your reaction,” she said then cupped his cheeks. “But don’t worry. Right now, I will only focus on you.” Lewelyn looked at his lips and whispered, “On us.” She tilted her head and about to kiss him but Xavier moved away and asked, “That Xavier.” Lewelyn
“I will kill Cesar,” Lewelyn said.Xavier looked at the center table where there is a recorder bug underneath. The one who planted the bug is Merly, Lewelyn’s new maid and the spy Xavier sent in this house.“I will definitely kill that old man,” Lewelyn repeated through her clenched teeth.While she was not looking, Xavier grinned.“You can’t kill him, Lewelyn,” said Xavier.Lewelyn was confused as she stared back at him, while she was still sitting on his lap. Why did he say that she can’t kill Cesar?Isn’t he on her side?Before she could ask why, Xavier held her nape and drew her closer, as if hugging her. He placed his mouth near her ear and whispered.“You can’t dirty your own hands. You need someone to kill him for you.”‘Just like what you did to me,’ Xavier added inwardly.Lewelyn moved back and observed the man, who shared his idea.“Someone to kill for him?” she asked.He nodded his head and explained, “As of now, Cesar is standing at the top of the world. If you kill him an
Everyone in the Black E-Commerce company was working twice as much as usual.The SUPREME virtual box in Black E-Commerce is the key for reviving the company. Since it malfunctioned before they could launch it in public, the company is on the verge of bankruptcy.What’s the point of raising the sales by 3% if they lost all the work they did for half a month?“The Black E-Commerce is doomed.”That is what Xavier wanted everyone to think.Days passed by.Tomorrow, the start of the third week of the month, will be the day they will launch the new Project.Unfortunately, despite everyone’s effort to revive the virtual box application, it didn’t work well. Mainly because there’s a spy who kept on ruining the software.Because of this, Gabriel told his foster son to come and meet him in his office.On Xavier’s way to Gabriel’s office, he met Haiden’s sister, Rose Black.Wearing a long sleeping dress, Rose blocked his way. She crossed her arms and smiled at him dogmatically.“Your complexion
“IT WAS A SUCCESS!?” Rose asked in an unusual loud tone to her secretary. Sonny lowered his head as he answered, “Y-Yes, Ma’am. They launched it today.” “B-BUT H-HOW?! DIDN’T WE RUIN THE APPLICATION BEFORE THE LAUNCHING DATE?! DID THEY MAKE A NEW ONE BEFORE TODAY? “About that, I asked our Spy. Last week and this week, he said that he succeeded in interfering with the software before the launch date. He reassured me that the company cannot launch. But today, it happened. And now I can't contact him anymore.” Rose perched down on her seat while thinking where did things go South. “T-Then, what is the result of the SUPREME LAUNCHING?” Rose nervously asked. Secretary Sonny hesitated to tell the truth. But he knew he mustn’t lie. “After they launched SUPREME, tens of thousands of customers signed up in the first month, agreeing to pay a $100 yearly fee. The stock soared, regaining $4 million and closing at $1.5 million.” It was a success. Haiden revived E-Commerce and raised the
Brethart threw everything he saw through his fish-lense view. He was palpitating out of rage. Why won't he when he heard that Haiden revived the Company that he threw away? Brethart would be discharged from the hospital today and he hoped to hear some pleasant news on his way home. But the current situation did not allow it to happen. “Ahhh!” the nurse squealed when Brethart made a mess inside the hospital room; throwing things, kicking everything. Her shout caught Brethart's attention, and she regretted stealing his interest. Brethart looked at the scared nurse and approached her. “What are you looking at?” Brethart asked the woman. The nurse nervously moved backward as Brethart walked closer. He looks like he would hit her anytime. “I ASKED WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT YOU F*CKING B*TCH?!” Brethart shouted before he raised his hand to the nurse. Quickly, his mother Louisa stepped in between. “Brethart!” she called and held her son’s arm. Louisa looked at the frightened girl
An hour ago before Xavier arrived in the penthouse….“That is the copy of the Ledger I found in the bar,” Gian said to Xavier while driving the car.Xavier looked through the documents.The reason why Gian and Xavier chose Spade’s bar to meet Cesar and to have a company dinner at the same time, is for Gian to search for Spade’s ledger in that place.While Xavier was busy talking with Cesar, Gian was searching for the ledger. When he did, he quickly made photocopies of them. He’s certain that Spade would throw a tantrum once the ledger went missing.Upon checking, Xavier saw familiar names on the Ledger.[“Black”]“As you can see, Spade has transactions with the Black family. Spade dealt with human trafficking with Black,” Gian explained.“Then, it is possible that the Black family provides people to Cesar so that Cesar can use them for testing his drugs,” Xavier said.“You said that you saw the drugs on Haiden’s father office and that resembles the medicine Cesar gave you. Right?”“Y
Brethart knows who Odeen is. He was assigned to work with Odeen for the human trafficking deal. But the last job failed and Brethart got hurt in the process.So, why would Gabriel bring Odeen to meet the other members of the family?‘Is he going to replace me with Rose or Haiden?’Brethart couldn’t hide his disappointment and fear while sitting next to his mother and in front of their guest.The first one who noticed Brethart’s pale complexion was his stepsister, Rose.“This is my wife, Louisa,” Gabriel introduced to Odeen.“Hello, nice to meet a beautiful lady like you,” Odeen praised with a botox smile.“Thank you,” Louisa replied.“This is my daughter, Rose” Gabriel said, pointing at Rose.Rose and Gabriel smiled at each other.“My son, Brethart,” Gabriel murmured, looking at his youngest child with a disappointed stare.“Nice to meet you, Brethart,” Odeen said even if he and Brethart already knew each other.Steeling himself, Brethart met gaze with him and uttered, “S-Same here.”
Xavier groped the knife inside his pocket. He looked at Spade, waiting for the next words that would come out of his mouth. “You are…” His clutched tightened on the blade, ready to pull out. “You are visiting a psychiatrist.” Xavier stopped pulling the knife and blinked. “You lost your memories, did you?” Spade asked. “W-What?” Xavier murmured. “I know something was odd when you came back. You acted and spoke differently. You kept on doing things that aren’t your forte. And now, you even forgot about your own allergy.” “Ahem,” Xavier forged another cough. He was both surprised and relieved that Spade was wrong. Xavier really thought that he was caught for impersonating Haiden. Thank goodness, it wasn’t the case. “I don’t know what you are talking about, Spade,” Xavier pretended. “Oh come on, boss. You know that I am not kidding. It’s real. You lost your memories.” ‘After all, I was the last one you talked with,’ Spade said in his head. ‘Because if was him who tried to k
