The next morning, Vincent woke up feeling restless. He hardly got any sleep to begin with and it was all because of what happened last night.Why all that? Who were those people?It was clear that the person who was caught by the police was their boss and the initiator of that plan. Somehow, Vincent had to find out from that person what he had against Ferdinand, José, Kate, and possibly himself as he was locked in the toilet.Vincent flung his duvet to the side and slide his legs away. He got up and made his way out of the house. It was early enough for him to go to the police station and meet Donatello before any member of the Idris family does.Vincent parked his car in front of the police station and went in. Imagine his surprise when he saw Ferdinand at the police station that early as well. They had both arrived at the same time."What are you doing here this early in the morning?" Vincent asked Ferdinand."I should be the one asking you that, Vincent. I'm surprised you're even
Surprisingly, throughout having breakfast with the Idris family, Vincent got along with all of them including José. The only one who seemed lost and out of it was Ferdinand who couldn't get his mind off his problems. Donatello was too dangerous to leave moving about with his secret and he couldn't afford to let that secret come out in the open.Mrs Alma tapped Ferdinand who then flinched in his reaction."What's wrong? I noticed that you have been lost in thought for a while now." Alma said to Ferdinand."I'm fine. Just feeling a little dizzy." Ferdinand replied."Okay," Alma said.Ferdinand got up from the table, "excuse me." he said and left. He hardly ate anything on his plate."What's bothering him so much?" Kate asked her mother."I have no clue," Alma replied Kate.Ferdinand kept punching the wall in his bathroom and then stared at his face in the mirror.Why won't his past just leave him alone and let him live his life in peace? What is this torture?"Fuck! Fuck this shit! Why
Ferdinand stopped his car at the gates of Mr Alfredo'e home and came down from his car. He proceeded to the gate on foot and knocked."What do you want?" a voice asked from the small speaker attached to the wall. There were two CCTV cameras mounted on either side of the gate, attached to the walls, of course."You know who I am. Your boss I am here to see him." Ferdinand said in a commanding tone of voice.The speaker went silent for a while as Ferdinand impatiently waited, tapping his shoe on the ground and constantly checking his wristwatch.These people are just a big chunk of waste of time but this is so necessary that I decided to do it today. I can't risk waiting for free time instead of taking the initiative immediately." Ferdinand thought and then looked at his wristwatch again.You can come in." the voice from the speaker sounded again and Ferdinand returned to his car. The gates were opened for him and he drove in.After parking his car, a man with dark shades walked up to
Although Vincent didn't want to admit it, the words of Mr Khalid made him realize something he never considered before. His mother's feelings. He never thought back to the point of wondering how his father's exposure and arrest would affect his mother and he never truly noticed what his mother has been going through.After Mr Khalid dropped Vincent off and left, Vincent went straight to his mother who was standing outside the mansion and staring at the little rose garden in front of her while lost in thought.Veronica didn't even notice her son return home until he touched her shoulder.Veronica flinched and almost jumped back. She grasped her chest and sighed in relief, "oh... It's just you..." she said sounding very tired."How come you are back so early? How is work?" Veronica asked Vincent who just stared into her eyes in response."Vincent, what happened?" Veronica asked."Mom, how are you?" Vincent asked her."What are you saying? I'm fine. You're acting weird. I should be the o
"Mr Khalid?" Veronica questioned, not quite sure if it was Ferdinand's father waving at her from inside his car."Yes. It's me. Idris Khalid. The father of your son's friend." Mr Khalid answered. It was almost as if he had been waiting for her to return and never left in the first place after dropping off Vincent."Can I speak with you for a moment?" Mr Khalid asked.Veronica went close to his car and leaned forward, "Good day sir." she greeted him.Mr Khalid tried his best not to look downwards at her open neck top that exposed a bit of her breasts."Not like this. I wouldn't want to stress you. Plus, I'm kind of in a hurry so... Can you come into my car?" Mr Khalid requested Veronica.Veronica was hesitant at first but she stood up straight, moved back, and allowed Mr Khalid to open the door for her from the inside.Veronica entered the car and sat right next to Mr Khalid who she wondered why he wouldn't give her much space.Veronica was uncomfortable with the sitting position but w
Khalid sat in his office with his mind wandering off beyond control. What was he thinking about? A nude view of Veronica, Vincent's mother.He had his head stuck in the clouds for so long and found himself digging deeper and deeper into the strength of his imagination.The door to Mr Khalid's office opened after three unanswered knocks and his new secretary came in.She locked the door with the key that was attached to it and proceeded to close the windows. She walked towards Mr Khalid. Mr Khalid didn't even notice when she came in and didn't hear the door lock. The secretary began to undress in his office. To her, his eyes were watching her body but in reality, that was not the case.The secretary sat in Mr Khalid's lap and that was when he was broken out of his thoughts."What is this nonsense?! Are you crazy?! Who permitted you to enter my office?!" Mr Khalid yelled at the woman.He was unable to make sense of anything in front of him. Usually, Mr Khalid would jump at such an oppo
The next morning,Veronica was washing the dishes in the kitchen and Vincent walked in while about to tell the chef what to prepare."Should I tell him what happened?" Veronica wondered."No. I shouldn't. What about what I saw yesterday? They're close. Won't the truth only hurt Vincent? I can't just tell him that with all the unfortunate things he has been experiencing." Veronica thought to herself.A tear ran down her cheek as she recalled her past life with her son. All the bullying, returning home with bruises on some days and not having anything to eat on other days. "Even after the wealth was added to our lives, bad things still happened. His father was arrested for drug trafficking. I wonder how hurt he felt being the one to report. And his girlfriend Tasha..."Veronica felt the ceramic plate she was holding slipped out of her fingers. She tried to catch it but it was too late and it smashed against the ground.The chef jumped back in shock after hearing the sound of a shatteri
"There's just one more thing," Vincent said."What is it?" Tashas asked, eagerly waiting for his response."During all this, we will have to stay away from each other. I told them we broke up so we have to act on it no matter how difficult." "I'll do exactly that," Tasha replied without questioning Vincent. Vincent kissed her one last time after her parents walked in right after they parted."Thank you for all your help so far. I don't know what would have happened if you weren't here to assist us." Tasha's father said to Vincent."Thank you so very much." Tasha's mother added."It's not something to thank me for. I see you both and Tasha as my family." Vincent replied."I have to go now," Vincent said, checking his wristwatch."Have a lovely day." Tasha's mom said to Vincent.Vincent left the hospital and went to his car which was parked outside by the driver waiting for him.Vincent's phone rang the moment he sat in his car. It was an unknown number calling and he braced himself fo
