Robert put Kim's arm around his and approached his father."Dad, of course, what do people say if they see the daughter of the esteemed Prime Minister as unattractive, it will become national news, Dad"August chuckled as he hugged his daughter and patting Kim's back."Who dares to talk about you like that? After all, what has to do with me, this is your party, instead, people will say that Kimberly's father is old and ugly"Kim let go of her arms, laughing lightly at her father's ridiculous face."Daddy"She stopped her laugh when she saw Sam there, the young woman smiled and came forward to hug him."Hey Sam, thanks for coming, where’s Dakota?" she asked while looking inside the big house.Sam nodded."Of course, I'll come, Dakota can't wait to come earlier"Kimberly narrowed her eyes, suspicious of him."Well, as long as you guys don't make a fuss in the middle of the event, I don't want this event that I have paid for quite a lot to ruin because of you"Sam smiled."I can't promise
Towards the end of the dinner. Finally, Susan and her daughter decided to leave the house, disappointed by Dakota's refusal.Sam and Dakota stood by the pool watching the guests leave in an orderly line at the gate.The two of them were seriously talking when Alisa approached."Dax, too bad, I still want to stay here with you, your father agreed that we need to try to get to know each other first before getting engaged, um, how about I sleep in your room tonight?"Dakota saw the girl who then moved in front of him, and looked at her from head to toe, Alisa Aldrin, Susan's daughter who turned twenty-five this year. The little and beautiful girl looked brainless and resembled a baby doll, but who would have guessed, if she turned out to be very cunning?Dakota remembered vividly when the little girl pushed him to fall from the stairs down to the first floor. He also remembered, when the heartless girl ordered her innocent and timid step-brother, little Aaron, to bury Imelda alive, and, h
The night continues, at the police station."I don't accept this! I won't say anything until my lawyer comes here!” exclaimed Alisa, who was already sitting in the suspect's chair in the interrogation room.Sam and Rina were the ones conducting the interrogation.“Oh please, then, will it take long? It's already midnight, your lawyer is working late too? You said he’s in abroad now, right?” Sam asked, glancing at the clock behind him.Alisa glared at Sam. The young girl almost exploded with anger that had reached the top of her head."Aren't you guys joking? Want to sue me for an incident that was only witnessed by a kid? And, you guys don't have any evidence other than the necklace, your evidence isn't even enough to make me go to the police station, let alone to sue me!”“Are you sure you don't want to wait until your lawyer comes? Miss Aldrin?”Alisa smirked.“Hey, for that mean I have to wait until tomorrow morning? Better get it done right now.”Sam pulled at his waist long, then
It rained quite heavily that afternoon. The sky was still bright when the rain suddenly fell and made puddles on the sides of the road. Dakota just watched from a distance, sitting in the hummer with Sam beside him, where some people from the funeral house do procession at the public cemetery outside Bayward. If it wasn't for the heavy rain he would have sent Guy and his daughter to their last resting place, beside his wife, at least, that was what Guy wanted.Dakota hadn't noticed this before, but in the past, Guy had been drinking and nearly got drunk, said tears in his eyes when he saw the news about a family involved in a single accident because the car was pushed into a ravine. The whole family died instantly, Guy once said how lucky they were because no one was left behind and suffering from such a huge loss.Dakota thought Guy must want to be reunited with his family, wife, and daughter after all this time being separated and suffering from not knowing what happened to him. Dako
Dakota looked around, his eyes stopped looking at the small room next to the living room, the music room. Slowly he moved his wheelchair towards it.Dakota stopped in front of the piano which was covered with a dusty white cloth, just staring at the small piano for a long time."What song do you want to hear? Mom will play for this very sweet little prince.”It was his last year with his mother and all the memories he recently got back, how could he forget all those good memories? Dakota approached the piano, lifting the piano keys at the very end that had slipped out of place, though they were still functioning perfectly fine. Only little Dakota knew it was broken and he often hid something inside, whether it was chocolate or a snack and ate it when his music teacher wasn't looking at him. And there was something small in it which was almost covered in dust.Sam approached, widening his eyes at what was already in Dakota's hand. The thing that the Prime Minister mentioned the other da
Not long after.The police vehicle from Bayward and the ambulance had pulled over. The rain was still pouring down so everyone had to wear raincoats to avoid getting wet.Sam sat in the ambulance where medics helped bandage his back which was hit so hard earlier, while Dakota lay inside after medics confirmed he wasn't in any danger. Luckily he has a very smart team, the nearest police station in Cyan City is right downhill and they immediately went there after hearing that the Prime Minister's son was in danger, they rushed there as fast as lightning, otherwise, he might lose his comrade.Sam raised his hand when the medic asked if he was feeling better."Yes, thank you" he turned his head to see Dakota who slowly came to his senses."Heh, Sam"His head hurt unbelievably. This time they had been openly attacked simultaneously, and this was so tense. He tried to get up to sit up.Sam patted Dakota's leg."Are you okay? The road ahead was a bit landslide just now, we have to wait a litt
"This afternoon the Bayward city centre police handed over the case of Susan Aldrin, who has been proven to have committed tax evasion, money laundering, and murder. During the past few years since being taken over by the Aldrin family institution, Eralda's company has embezzled hundreds of millions of corporate taxes, and most of the money has been proven to be distributed to the shadow company of the Aldrin family, which had been under the guise of a logistics and shipping company. While Alisa Aldrin was released on parole due to lack of evidence as Susan's accomplice, Alisa will undergo an interrogation…”The sound of news on the big television screen in the living room of the Prime Minister's mansion filled the silence in the quietness of the room. Dakota turned when he saw Sam approaching and sitting beside him. It's been a few days since Susan's case has been investigated by the police and sent the file to the prosecutor's office for further investigation, the rest is none of Sam
Steam from the still-hot tea could be seen billowing in the air as August lifted his teacup. He sat on the terrace on the second floor at the back of the big house, enjoying the warm evening air with Sam sitting not far in front of him. The view of the sky above the house is wide and limitless, several small stars are twinkling in the distance.August took a deep breath.“Heh, after the flash disk disappeared, those people shouldn't be bothering Dakota's life anymore, right? What does that mean, now the kid can go anywhere safely. Since anyone who intends to attack him thinks Dakota doesn't have what they want, isn't it, Sam?” asked August.Sam nodded, holding the teacup in both hands, then slowly placed it back on the saucer."I guess so too, but, we don't know that for now, everyone should remain vigilant until we make sure that they no longer chase Dakota. You, have nothing to do with the flash disk's disappearance right?" asked Sam.August who was about to reach for his teacup stop
