Today is the last day of Cesar’s campaign. After this, he only needs to wait for the results. He was so sure that he would win this election because the gap between him and his competitors is huge. “This is all thanks to Haiden. If it wasn’t for his suggestion, I might stay second in ranking,” Cesar said while removing his campaign jacket and giving it to his secretary, Hugo. Hugo grabbed the jacket and said, “Sir, would you look at this?” Cesar stopped walking and looked at the iP*d on Hugo’s hand. From the screen, he could watch Xavier doing an interview in a famous show. “It’s not been that long since he got famous after donating to charity. And now he’s guesting in a show?” Cesar asked Hugo. “It seems he only filled the spot because the original guest couldn’t make it,” Hugo explained. “I see. That’s lucky of him,” Cesar uttered as he continued watching. [“There are so many comments about you on social media. A handsome CEO, a hot businessman and a man with a golden h
“...you look pretty. So, I suddenly wanted to say hi.” Rose stared at the odd man standing in front of him. His face looks innocent and soft, but his provocative words, sly eye expression and grin told a different story. Regardless, Rose has no time to deal with weird strangers. She already took time from her busy schedule to come and visit Haiden; not knowing that the real Haiden is standing before her. “Crazy,” Rose murmured before she stepped forward, passing by. Haiden, however, held her wrist, which made her turn around with widened eyes. “Let go, you crazy b*stard or I will kill you,” she warned. Even if the words Rose said are as sharp as a sword, Haiden only sneered. “The way you talk is also interesting. You look as if you’d swallow me with your eyes, even though you’re not strong enough to do so.” “What?” Rose’s secretary, Sonny, pulled her hand away from Haiden and then stood in between. Sonny glared at Haiden and threatened, “Please, go, Sir. If you stay here and
“Near the Black E-Commerce company, I need men to find someone. Blonde hair, blue eyes and pale skin. Name, Xavier. If you find him, do anything to stop him. But, don’t you ever kill him,” Gian ordered his men through a phone call. After making a call, Gian and Xavier looked at each other. “I’ll search there,” Xavier said, pointing in the right direction. “Then, I’ll go to the opposite. If you found him, call me.” Xavier nodded his head and they separated. He started running in the right direction. Using a car was no point because he’s sure that Haiden would use narrow alleyways. The wind touched his cheeks as his feet carried him fast. Pushing his arms back and forth, he jetted, jumping over all small pot holes, dodging the ocean of people and pumping his legs as fast they could go. For a moment, he would stop to look around. Honking, shouting, clinging and bargaining were heard all at once. There were bikes diving into gape and markets up for business where shouting came fro
With the help of a hacker, Gian looked at the CCTVs near the building. But he only saw a glimpse of a blonde haired man who kept on entering alleyways that had no CCTV inside. Also, he was wary enough to show his face in the camera.Gian suddenly remembered the time Haiden asked him an interesting question.[“Hey. How can I hide myself if there are many CCTVs around?” Haiden asked.Gian answered, “You cannot do anything about public surveillance cameras. But there’s a way. Learn their locations by all means avoid them if you can. Doing so may look weird and might attract extra attention, though. So, you need to decipher their locations in a quick way.”]Seeing how the blonde man who resembles Xavier avoided the camera, Gian couldn’t help it but to see evidence that he might be really Haiden.And that’s why he’s more eager to find him.“We need to contact him today. You have to go to the island with Kija tomorrow. And probably, that man is waiting,” Gian said to Xavier.They are now in
Xavier felt so tired dialing numbers so many times. Hours passed by, but there’s only the same result. Either the call will end unattended, or a random person will pick up the call and ask him: ‘Why are you calling to a payphone number? Are you an idiot?’ Something like that, Until he reached number 620. ‘My fingers are about to go numb,’ he complained inwardly. However, he can’t give up. He continued dialing numbers until 705. Then, Gian brought up good news. “We found the possible first digit in the number,” Gian said, while Kija was leaning his head on the desk. “What number?” Xavier asked. “8. The area where we last saw him on the CCTV have payphones that can end with 8XX. Which means, you went under a hundred. 800-899.” As if he got his energy back, Xavier started the numbers from 800. 800 815 826 856 844 878 892 898 Kring kring~ Someone picked up the call. “Hello?” Xavier enthusiastically greeted, waiting for the receiver’s response. Gian signaled Kija t
On Garit island owned by Cesar Fugito, there is a vacation house located at the center of the island. When Lewelyn arrived at the vacation house, she left her luggage in the living room and roamed around the huge house. However, she didn’t see anyone inside. “I thought mom and dad will be here,” she murmured. Cesar said that he invited her parents to come to this place. Wondering why they are still not here, Lewelyn picked up her phone. She unlocked her phone and then opened her message box with her mother. She started to type a message. [“Mom, where are you? I have already arrived in Garit Island. Waiting for you and dad! Take care on your way here. Love you.”] She was about to press the send message when she heard a sound from the kitchen. Holding her phone, Lewelyn looked at the direction where she heard the rustling sound. ‘That’s odd.’ She was certain that this house is empty and she’s alone. “Who’s there?!” she shouted. Blank. Silence. No one answered her. Her hea
Few weeks ago~ Inside Lewelyn’s room, Merly was brushing Madam's smooth red hair. “Wow! Madam, your hair is so smooth. I wish I could have smooth hair like yours.” Proud, Lewelyn laughed as she said, “Stop dreaming. You have to be born pretty.” “Right. I am so jealous of you~” Merly stopped smiling while she stood behind the Madam. She remembered what Gian told her. The reason why she and the other kids were abducted and were brought in the port was because of Cesar and Lewelyn. Cesar needs people to use in his experiment. Because of this, the little boy, who called her 'sister’, has died. Merly thought she would not feel affection for anyone. But she was wrong. Merly looked at the bruises around Lewelyn’s body. She heard from the maids of the mansion that Cesar started to beat Lewelyn after he caught her cheating on him. ‘Bad people deserve to be punished,’ Merly thought. “Madam, my father abused me when I was young.” Lewelyn looked at the man through the mirror. “I hate
Aside from the maid, Lewelyn only told her plan to one person. That is the man she fell in love with within a short period of time. Yet, when Cesar played the recorder, Lewelyn didn’t suspect that man to betray her. Not until Xavier appeared before her, standing straight under the moon with his black hair and red eyes; like a Grim Reaper of the night. “H-Haiden,” Lewelyn called him by a name she knows. Because that was what his face tells; that he is the foster son of the Black. However, she had no idea that this man was the driver she framed and tried to kill before. Xavier stepped closer to Lewelyn. His steps rang in Lewelyn’s ears. As the gap shortened, Lewelyn’s heart pounded in tremor, as if there were ice cubes inside her body. Her muscles shook as she realized the betrayals that are happening right here, right now in her naked eyes. Then Xavier stood in front while looking down at her. “Did you… betray me?” Lewelyn asked him. Xavier gawked at her like how Eagle spotte
