In an uncompleted building, men were drinking and laughing and some of them were smoking. Ferdinand stepped into the building and looked around. He found the person he was looking for sitting silently and apart from the other men."Don't you think you've gone a tad bit too far?" Ferdinand asked.The swivel chair spun and stopped to face Ferdinand.It was his little brother, the last born of the Idris family, José.José looked straight into the eyes of his big brother, "no." he replied and spun the chair back to ignore Ferdinand.Ferdinand got angry and went closer to José. He spun the chair to face himself and he frowned angrily at his little brother."I don't remember permitting you to step in José. Just because Kate got her chance doesn't mean you're getting yours." Ferdinand stated firmly."I don't ever remember asking for permission from you at any point in my life brother. And you know me. As long as you both do something, I will never be the one falling behind. The inheritance
At the hospital, the doctors came out to meet Vincent and Tasha's father. The one who looked after Tasha's mom spoke first."Your wife fainted due to a heart attack. Thankfully she's alright now and awake but she still needs some time to rest. Please keep her away from anything that will stress her out." the doctor advised."Thank you doctor but what about my daughter?" Tasha's father asked.The doctor nodded toward the other doctor and then left. "Hello, I'm the one who treated your daughter, sir." the second doctor said to Tasha's father."How is she?" Vincent asked."Not that good. She is still unconscious but alive and receiving treatment. She will be dismissed from the hospital by next week." the doctor replied."Can I see her? Just for a little while." Tasha's father asked."Of course sir." the doctor replied. He let Vincent and Tasha's father in and Tasha's father tried his best not to cry when he saw the state of his daughter's body under the lights of the room.Vincent's hear
Mr Devine Victor parked his car in an open space of land where the was no one else but himself and Vincent now.He got out of his car and so did Vincent who seemed too impatient and demanding for answers."Well? Now that it's just the both of us in this place, start talking." Vincent told his father.Mr Devine sighed and sat down on the closed booth of his car. He gestured for Vincent to sit next to him but Vincent refused."Please." Mr Devine said.Vincent hesitated but sat next to his father as he tried to calm himself down from the mess happening in his brain."All that happened is because of me. It's because of my past with the Idris family. I've been the problem right from the day I stole from them and ran away." Mr Devine said to Vincent."You stole from them?" Vincent asked, not expecting that to be the first thing he would hear from his father."Yes. Just listen to me and I will tell you how it all started and got to this very moment." Mr Devine said and Vincent paid keen atte
"Mom! Father! Kate! José! Wake the fuck up! You all have to see this! Hurry!" Ferdinand shouted after he ordered the maids to wake his parents and siblings up.They all rushed out of their rooms, walked down the stairs and met Ferdinand in the living room with the flat-screen television turned on and his eyes fixed on it."What is it? Why would you shout for all of us like that?" Mr Khalid asked Ferdinand.Kate rubbed her eyes and yawned, "Beauty sleep is officially ruined." she said."Won't you answer us?!" Alma asked Ferdinand then felt a tap on her shoulder from Mr Khalid.Alma watched the news that was being shown on television."Mr Devine Victor has been arrested for illegal trading, drug trafficking, and disfigurement of dead bodies. The police went straight to his house early this morning after Vincent Victor, the heir of Mr Devine Victor, reported him to the police. It has been told to our members who got this on camera, that Vincent did this immediately after Mr Devine Victor
Mr Idris Khalid entered the prison and asked to see Mr Devine Victor. In only a few seconds, Mr Khalid was led to the visiting room and Mr Devine was dragged out to meet him.The police left the visiting room for Mr Khalid to have his privacy with Mr Devine."I long expected this visit, Mr Khalid. Surprised that it took you any longer to come here." Mr Devine said."Don't get cocky, Devine. Since you expected my coming then this shouldn't be of surprise to you either...""What shouldn't be? You're here to threaten me aren't you?" Mr Devine retorted, interrupting Mr Devine."Less of threats and more of stating facts. I'm here to warn you. It will be best for you to keep silent about us, I mean my family and me, being a part of the drug trafficking business. I don't know how your son fulled you into talking but it better be that you kept me out of it." Mr Khalid said to Mr Devine."You are scared, aren't you? Afraid of the inevitable, right? I can see it in your eyes." Mr Devine Victor
After his father's arrest, Vincent purposeful misses two work days, one of which he visited Tasha and found out she was in a coma.Early in the morning on the third day, the doorbell rang in what was now Vincent's mansion.Veronica wanted to attend to it but a maid stopped her, "Just rest and let me do my job ma'am." the maid said, in a kind voice.Veronica tried her best to smile and then nodded at the maid approvingly.The maid returned with Ferdinand following close behind. "Sorry ma'am, I wanted to let you know first but he insisted on coming in with me." the maid said to Veronica."That's alright. You can go. Thank you." Veronica replied. The maid bowed her head slightly in front of Veronica and then left."Good morning ma'am. I... I just came here to see Vincent. I saw what happened on the news and thought that he must be going through a lot and required a friend right now. Being the one who reported his father and all." Ferdinand explained to Veronica."Yes. He has grown up to
After Ferdinand left, Vincent left his mansion and was driven on his way to the hospital. The car stopped in front of the hospital but Vincent remained in his car, lost in thought."Sir?"The driver looked at the mirror above and saw Vincent thinking with eyes that showed that he was no longer in this world as he stared through the window."Sir?" the driver called out again."Oh, God. I hope I don't lose my job for this." the driver thought."Sir!" he yelled. Vincent flinched and looked around frantically. "Huh? What is it?" Vincent asked."I'm sorry sir but you looked lost so I had to yell. We have arrived at the hospital." the driver replied.Vincent looked out the window again. He sighed deeply when he saw the hospital where Tasha was admitted."Alright. Thank you," he replied to the driver and stepped out and then the driver took the car away to look for a parking spot.Vincent proceeded into the hospital and received a lot of greetings from those who worked in that hospital. No
At the Idris family mansion, after Kate got off the call with Vincent, she did some other things on her phone and was lazy throughout the day until the evening when her parents and brothers returned home from work.Kate went downstairs to welcome them home. Her parents went straight to their room looking heavily tired and stressed from work. They've never looked that way before but it was understandable considering the currently trembling state of their business.Ferdinand and José walked into the mansion at the same time and Kate hugged them happily. Kate moves back and smiled, waiting for her brothers to ask her why she was behaving strangely but they didn't bother and just walked passed her as they didn't have time for her games."Are you two just going to ignore that? You didn't even ask why I acted that way!" Kate yelled at Ferdinand and José."What could be surprising about you? You got a new rich boyfriend. You always behave that way right before you break up with them the mom
