Later that night, Vincent went to an extravagant party together with Ferdinand and it was a few minutes after that José arrived with Kate."You didn't tell me your siblings were coming along," Vincent said to Ferdinand, seeing José and Kate make an appearance at the party."Sorry. It kind of skipped my mind." Ferdinand said. He turned around and saw José with Kate and he waved them over."I'm going to get some drinks," Kate said to José while the loud music was still booming in the venue. She left him and went in a different direction.José walked to where Ferdinand and Vincent were and Ferdinand introduced them to each other, just feeling that he should."José meet Vincent. And Vincent meets José. No need for much introduction. I'm sure you both know about each other." Ferdinand said while in a fun mood."Not as much as is needed to know apparently." José thought."Hi. It's a pleasure to meet you once again." Vincent said, extending his hand toward José. José looked at Vincent's hand
Donatello, the same shady person last seen by Ferdinand at a party where Vincent and Kate got drunk, spotted José, Ferdinand, Kate, and Vincent at the same party he was invited to. He saw this as a chance to get back at Ferdinand for the humiliation he had to endure in front of others on that night which he held on to, waiting for when to strike back.Donatello's phone rang and he picked it up while having his eyes on Ferdinand at all times, "hello." he said into the phone."Boss. Our men are ready and set." a voice came from his phone."Good. Now wait for my signal." Donatello replied and ended the call.Donatello grabbed a glass of champagne from the moving server and headed straight for where the siblings, Ferdinand, Kate and José were with Vincent."Well, hello there," Donatello said, having a broad smile on his face.Ferdinand instantly grimaced when his eyes met Donatello's."Oh wow, who is this handsome rich looking fellow we have here?" Kate commented as she checked Donatello
"What happened?" José asked Ferdinand who just returned from talking with Donatello."Nothing. Let's get back to the game." Ferdinand replied."Okay. I'll set everything up." Kate said."Is there a bathroom here? I need to go." Vincent asked Ferdinand who was standing right beside him."Right now? Seriously? Can't you hold it in?" Ferdinand questioned."Nope. Not any further than this." Vincent replied Ferdinand."Hey!" Ferdinand called out to one of those moving about with drinks and the person came to him."You need a drink, sir?" the man asked."No. My friend here needs to use the bathroom. Drop whatever it is you are doing and take him to the nearest bathroom." Ferdinand ordered."Yes sir." the man replied and put down his tray of drinks on the table near them. He turned to Vincent, "please, this way sir." he said.Vincent got up and followed the man as he led the way to the bathroom.After Vincent got to the bathroom and entered, he went straight to the toilet. While using the to
Vincent who was above those two men and stabbing himself with his arms and legs strongly pressed against the close-up walls, watched them separate to search for him before slowly and silently getting himself down.Vincent went back to where Donatello was and signalled José to stay quiet when their eyes met.José pretended not to see Vincent so as not to alert Donatello while Vincent was sneaking up behind him."What? Why are your faces suddenly changed?" Donatello asked Kate, Ferdinand and José. He felt like something was wrong somewhere.Donatello turned around but it was too late for him. Vincent had already gotten close enough and he punched Donatello immediately Donatello turned around.José snatched the gun from Donatello and aimed it back at him. At the same time, those two men returned to inform Donatello that they failed to find Vincent only to find Vincent standing above Donatello.Those two men wanted to pull out their guns as well but the moment they touched their guns they
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
