Emma Tim, a gorgeous and famous celebrity, was getting her make-up and hair done inside the studio. Crossing her legs, she’s memorizing the script for her show tonight. “Emma.” Emma stopped reading the script and looked at the PD, who called her name. “Yes Mr.PD?” she replied. “Are you really sure about this?” “About what?” “Well, everyone knew that Mayor Cesar Fugito was the talk of the town. But I don’t think it would be fun to have a politician as our guest.” “I agree to that,” Emma’s stylist said. “The mayor might only talk about his plans for the city. And the viewers might feel so bored. If we target the new adult.” “Hmmm, you two are probably right,” Emma answered. “However, I have a debt to pay.” This morning, Emma received a call from someone, who asked her to get Cesar as the guest on her new variety show. ‘I had to repay him. Besides, he promised that after tonight’s show, the rating will go up,’ Emma thought with a grin. The “Truth” show began with Emma as the
The ‘Truth’ show became the number one trending, not just in New York but all over the world. The top hashtags trendings are: #Mayor_killed_his-Wife #No_to_Cesar #Fakeangel #Arrest_the_Mayor The topic spread all over the world and just that night, Cesar became a wanted criminal in the people’s eyes. “Please go inside!” Secretary Hugo opened the door of the car for Cesar. Cesar couldn’t finish the show because he and his secretary fled from the studio. They avoided the reporters and hardly arrived at the exclusive parking lot. Cesar and Secretary Hugo went inside the car while the guards surrounded the car so that no one could attack the Mayor. “WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING? WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?! WHO RELEASED THAT F*CKING VIDEO!” Cesar shouted inside the car. Hugo nervously answered, “S-Sir. Calm down first. I…” Cesar slapped his secretary. Surprised, Hugo touched his cheek. “Calm down? You are expecting me to calm down while everyone thinks that I murdered my own wife?!” Hu
For Xavier, his wife and his son are the most special people in his life. He would do anything to protect them. And so, when he saw them lying on the floor and trembling like weak lambs waiting for their death, the fury roared through his mind. He felt as if his soul was burning. Even if he was just watching them through the CCTV screen, he could imagine how scared they were. Xavier’s brows narrowed. He started huffing and puffing silently. Then, he looked at the man beside him. Cesar was smiling. He looks like someone who was proud to show someone’s pain to entertain his guest as if it is a trick in the Circus. The flames of hell nurtured the monster inside Xavier. He clenched his fists until blue veins protrude on his skin. His bright face was telling everything. ‘I wanted to kill. I wanted to kill him so much!’ His red eyes clawed at the gun on Cesar’s waist. Then, Xavier began to imagine. ‘I will get that gun from him and blow his head. And then, everything ended.’ Xavie
Secretary Hugo was questioned by the detectives after the recorder and video leaked out in public during the live show. “Where is the mayor?” the detective in charge asked. With his legs crossed, Hugo only looked at his nails. He and the detective were inside the interrogation room for a couple of hours. But until now, the detective hasn’t heard anything from Hugo. Hugo, who was brought here as a witness, used his right to remain silent. Bam! The detective slammed the desk. His patience was running out of time. It was then, the lawyer representing the Fugito family came inside and saved Hugo. The lawyer did the talking. He told the police that they cannot arrest the mayor without a warrant, and they should present enough evidence to accuse the suspect. Also, the lawyer said that the recording and the video were fabricated by someone who has hatred against the mayor. Hugo believed that Cesar could still survive this fight. Even if many people turned their back on Cesar, the
Bridgette saw the man who came into the underground jail with Cesar. The man has red eyes, black hair, thick brows, tanned skin, and sharp jaws. It’s been many years since she saw that face. But ever since her childhood memories came back, Bridgette couldn’t forget them anymore. ‘That guy is the person I’ve been waiting for. My brother… Haiden.’ Clouded with her thoughts, Bridgette stood up and hugged the man. “You came back! Brother… you came back!” she exclaimed. Bridgette felt a sense of relief. Finally, the person who promised to protect her forever returned. ‘He came back to save us,’ she thought, crying. Holding his breath, Xavier slowly looked at his wife. But when she lifted her head and met his gaze, the man looked at her with a painful expression. Her heart skipped a beat. Why does she feel hurt looking at his indifferent gaze? ‘Can’t he recognize me?’ Forgetting Cesar, Bridgette detached her lips. She wanted to introduce herself to her big brother. But… “Wha
6 hours before attacking Cesar… Gian laid the structure of Cesar’s vacation house on the table. Xavier, Haiden, and Kija looked at the house structure. “Merly stole the list of Cesar and Lewelyn’s private properties,” Gian explained. “If Cesar escapes, he will choose a place that hasn’t registered under his name. And that is his vacation house in Mongdom. He will try calling Xavier and telling him to meet him there.” “What if he didn’t choose the place?” Kija asked. Curious, Haiden and Xavier looked at the underboss of the Mafia. “No way,” Gian said. “I am certain that he will choose this.” “He’s very arrogant, isn’t he?” Haiden said while laughing. Gian smiled at Haiden and said, “If you can remember the past, you will know where I get this attitude, boss.” Gian was referring to Haiden, of course. Xavier looked alternately at the two before his eyes gawked at the map structure of the vacation house. “Let’s pretend that Cesar would really choose that place. That m
The police received a tip from an anonymous sender. [“Lewelyn’s corpse was buried in Cesar’s private island in Pelham.”] They tried to find the location of the sender, but it was futile hunting. Nonetheless, the police didn’t ignore the information. They got a search warrant from the prosecutor in order to have the right to search the specific premise for evidence on Cesar’s private island. When they arrived on the island, they searched for the corpse. Not long after, they found the soft ground at the back of the penthouse and started to dig. It didn’t take long before they found the Madam’s corpse. The police revealed the investigation and issued a warrant of arrest to the Mayor of the City. News about the Mayor killing his wife spread. All news channels reported the news, and everyone followed the investigation. Haiden’s family also saw the news on television. Gabriel stood from his seat while looking at the television. It’s not been that long since Cesar reached the peak o
Warning: This chapter contains kidnapping and brutal scenes. **************************** Haiden was taken back to his secret house as the Mafia boss. They hired a private doctor to heal Haiden’s head injury. As per the poison that was used by Haiden, the doctor couldn’t identify what poison it was. With a large amount of money, the doctor was sent away and asked him to keep his mouth shut about this. Merly, the young maid, said that she was familiar with the poison since it was she who brought it to the Fugito mansion. “I introduced the poison to Madam Lewelyn, and she used it on Sir Cesar. The poison wouldn’t kill someone in an instant, but it is still dangerous. I know something that can get rid of the poison out of his body. But unfortunately, the medicine only grows in my hometown.” Since Gian and Kija wanted to cure Haiden as soon as possible, Gian asked Kija to go with Merly and get the medicine together. And so, Kija and Merly left. Inside the boss’s room where Haiden
