"Vincent, you're here?... Why didn't you tell me you were visiting?" Devine said, his face revealing his confusion.

Vincent opened his mouth but no words came out from it.

His mother soon appeared at the door, her face lighting up at the sight of her son and grandson. She hugged Vincent before setting her eyes on Eli. "Oh, look at him. He's asleep."

Vincent, however, wasn't in the mood for small talk and swiftly moved past them to get inside.

Devine, still puzzled as to what was going on, followed his son inside, while Vincent's mother closed and locked the door.

Once inside, Vincent collapsed onto a chair, exhausted. He had hoped that this time around, things would be different, but he was mistaken.

Devine finally asked the question which stuck in his mind, "Vincent, what's going on? Why are you here?"

Vincent took a deep breath, his eyes fighting back tears. "I lost my company," he said, the words barely escaping his mouth.

Devine, taken aback, could hardly believe it. He had nothin

Jack shouted.He stood before his boss, Mr Edward, with his fists clenched and his eyes displaying his fury."I'm sorry but we do not condone such behaviour in this company. If you can't behave properly and treat others with respect then how do you expect to handle the clients that come in?" Mr Edward stood his ground."This isn't fair! Vincent is nothing but a fucked up newbie! He doesn't even deserve to be here!" Jack shouted."That's enough! And you think you belong here with that attitude?! Look around you!

    "You got me fired from my job and you think there wouldn't be any consequences that will follow?!" Jack grinned."I don't know how many times you want me to say that it wasn't my intention to get you fired?!" Vincent retorted."Shut up you moron! Even if it wasn't your intention, what did you do to stop it from happening?! You just stood there waiting for me to get out of a place where I earned my spot!" Jack clapped back."Even if that happened, what right did you have to bring a maid into this matter? Why didn't you come directly for me?" Vincent asked."Well, it's easy. It's just that easy but you were too dumb to think everything through. Chloe here, she owes me money. A lot of it.""So, you are there a leader of this whole operation?" Vincent questioned.Jack scoffed, "Of course not. I just chose to take matters into my own hands since my boss didn't seem to have much interest in this district." Jack answered."And...

Jack shouted and picked up the gun afterwards."Jack, what are we going to do now? Big boss will be pissed when he finds out about this." one of the two men with Jack asked."Yeah, and he is going to punish us harshly for sure." the second man spoke."Just shut up and let me think!"

Vincent looked at his parents questioningly, "The one who should be apologizing is Jack and that messed up the boss of his, whoever that is.""Who is Jack?" Mr Devine asked."That's the name of the man who got Chloe kidnapped and had his men strip her!" Vincent unknowingly let out his answer in an angry shout."Tell us how everything happened."

"She's stable now," he said, his tone reassuring. "The bullet narrowly missed any vital organs. She's going to need surgery to remove it, but she's strong, and we expect her to make a full recovery."Relief washed over Vincent, the weight lifting off his shoulders. He thanked the doctor profusely, gratitude filling his eyes. They were given permission to see Chloe, but only one person at a time, due to limited visiting hours.

So if what you're about to say is that you're going to do this alone, that ain't gonna happen." Chloe said before Vincent could breathe a word out."I wasn't going to say that," Vincent told her."Oh." Chloe stepped back, "That's good then.""So, what are we going to do, Dad?" Eli asked Vincent.Vincent looked through his family consisting of his ex-wife Tasha, his wife Chloe, his daughter Lily, and his two sons Samuel and Eli."I will be appointing you roles to play in taking down Mr. X based on each of your strengths," Vincent said."Mr Carlos here has given us an opportunity.

    The meeting took place on the outskirts of town in the same warehouse where Eli, Tasha, Lily, and Samuel were being held."I'm sure you're wondering why I wanted to meet with you," Mr. X said, his voice smooth as silk but his eyes sharp and deceiving."I can't imagine it's for a pleasant conversation," Vincent replied, his eyes fixed on Mr. X as if insulting his brain."You're right," Mr. X said, a smirk crossing his face. "I want to make you pay for what you've done to me. You've cost me everything, and now it's time for me to get my revenge."Vincent knew that he was in trouble.

    "Eli! Come on man! Slow down!" Samuel shouted.Eli stopped walking when he was sure that he was far enough from Vincent and Samuel stopped to catch his breath beside Eli."Why did you follow me?" Eli asked Samuel."We are best friends. That's the dumbest question I've ever heard." Vincent replied."Not in this case, Samuel. I want to be alone." Eli stated firmly."Then we can be alone together." Samuel placed his hand on Eli's shoulder but Eli shrugged it off and turned his head to Samuel."I don't get it, Samuel. Don't you have any brain? Are you stupid or something? I fucking ruined your life by taking the place that was meant to be yours and yet you're following me to make sure I'm alright?! Why?! Are you not capable of hate? You think you're so perfect don't you?!" Eli shouted angrily."I don't hate you, Eli. You were just a kid. And I don't think I'm perfect. I've made mistakes too.

Vincent asked Lily, "We didn't exactly speak to your mother about it." he added."She never cared about me so why should I care what she thinks of my choices? She spent all her life searching for her missing son and neglecting me." Lily replied, "She never once called me since I left. probably never noticed in the first place."Vincent stayed quiet and allowed Lily to lead the rest of them into the house.Vincent's phone started to ring and his wife, Chloe, wanted to stay back and know what the phone call was all about."Who is it?" Chloe asked."Someone from work," Vincent answered and picked up the call. He rushed outside the house while speaking, "Hello?"

    "Vincent, what was that all about?" Chloe asked after following Vincent to their bedroom.Vincent paced left and right in the bedroom, thinking of what to do now."We can't let them go through with whatever they are planning to do," Vincent said."Go through with what? Can you stop and explain what's going on to me? Vincent please!" Chloe demanded."I heard you mentioned Mr. X. What's going on?!" Chloe asked again.Vincent looked at Chloe with eyes filled with sadness, "It's Samuel. Eli's best friend.""What about him?" Chloe asked."I think... He might just be my son and Eli isn't." Vincent replied."What?! How come? If Eli isn't our son then who are his real parents? How did all this happen?" Chloe panicked."That's something I'm yet to figure out. I know that Kate left her child with me and there was certainly no interval where anyone must have switched Eli. Could it be that the baby at that time wasn't Kate's? She just pretended to have abandoned her child?" Vincent thought deeper
