Larry wished he had found his sister's son. He knew about her having a son before she died and he continuously blamed his father for her death. He didn't know anything about her husband but his younger sister—Grace was all that mattered. He lay on the bed in the room he had lodged, Liana rested her head on his chest and heard how fast Larry's heartbeat was. If only she knew his thoughts.*****SOME YEARS AGO ******"Brother, I don't want Dad to take you away from me." Cried Grace, her watery blue eyes melted the soul of her brother's heart who immediately pulled her to a hug."I won't leave you, Grace. Even though I leave the house for good, just know I'll always be with you even though not physically." Larry assured his sister as he rested his jaw on her shoulder while he tightened the hug.Grace sniffed, tears slowly gushing out of her eyes. Her brother was the only family she was close to. Her sisters were all married and her father gave her less attention, but her brother, Larry
Yue Wang stayed beside Chris's side, watched over him, and clean his hot temperature body. She silently prayed for his recovery and slept beside him all night and day. "Chris, please wake up." She said, her voice barely audible as she dug the small tower in warm water and squeezed it, then she placed it on Chris's forehead.While she was tending to him, Cosmos walked in unannounced, startling the lass."You scared me, Cosmos." Yue Wang said as she exhaled."I'm sorry, miss." Cosmos bowed slightly, apologetically. "How's the young master doing?""Nothing new." Yue Wang shook her head in disappointment as she took the water away from the table to dispose of it.Cosmos held Chris's wrist, his eyes were glued on the bracelet around his wrist and the name engraved to it. "The young master, has he figured out about his mother's past life?""How would I know?" Yue Wang nonchalantly said without sparing him a glance."You're closer to him than anyone else so I guessed you more know something
Chairman Conrad silently walked out of the mansion and headed to the underground parking lot alongside Cosmos but Cosmos could feel the tense energy from the chairman who hadn't uttered a word since they left his room."Chairman Conrad, is anything wrong?" He asked, his voice shaky out of anxiety.Chairman Conrad nodded in response as he settled in his car. Cosmos opened the door of the front passenger seat but the chairman halted his movements. "I'm going alone, you can stay by and watch Christopher alongside Yue Wang.""Chairman, I wanted to tell you about the article that was soon to be released about the young master's condition," Cosmos explained as he held onto the car door."I don't care if it'll be released or not." Came the Chairman's words as he didn't bother to spare Cosmos a glance. "It has been spreading like wildfire on the net and TV stations so an article won't change anything." Chairman Conrad finally said as he instructed the driver to move the car.Cosmos heaved a s
"Sir, there's no findings of Larry Conrad's whereabouts." The private spy, Chairman Conrad had ordered to go in search of Larry Conrad informed.Disdain washed over the Chairman's face as he rose from his seat in agony. He needed to speak to his son, he needed to apologize for all his wrongdoings. "What do you mean you can't find the whereabouts of my son?" Chairman Conrad said almost yelling as he didn't want to draw others' attention as they were in a secluded luxury bar."I tried but to no avail. I also found out he was very close to Liana, the young master's ex-girlfriend." The spy revealed.Chairman Conrad couldn't believe his ears. How did Larry end up meeting and being close to Christopher's ex-girlfriend? If only he had known Christopher was his sister's son, his favorite nephew whom he never knew."I don't know what to say. " Chairman Conrad said, his voice barely above a whisper as he sat back in his seat. A whirlwind of thoughts washed over his head. He didn't know anythin
Larry was still at the luxury hotel's bar waiting for someone at a reserved vacant area. He was absentminded as he kept reeling on the coincidence from earlier. His father wanted him back. What does he want from him now? Larry couldn't put a finger on why his father wanted him and why he was in search of his son who he disowned years ago. His absentmindedness made him oblivious to the man who just pulled a seat and sat in front of Larry, sighing in exhaustion as he rested his hands on the table separating them.The man raised his head and discovered that Larry wasn't even paying attention to him or even knowing about his presence. He snapped his fingers in front of Larry but to no avail. "Sir," the man stretched across the table and tapped Larry on his shoulders jolting the latter back to reality.Larry was startled, he rubbed his temple tiredly. "I didn't see you coming.""I came back immediately I saw you heading in." The man said with a small smile on his face as he rested his back
Liana positioned herself well on the couch, she couldn't put a finger on why Larry was asking her such a question. "I...I don't understand why you ask such a question." She shuttered, trying not to offend him but instead, he let out a low laugh."I was just curious." He said as he tightened his hood on her hands. "I'm ready to help you with your comeback. If you want to put an end to him, then in sure to assist you. Just tell him what I need to know about his family." Larry assured her, his tone commanding. He had his fingers crossed behind him while he uttered such a statement.Liana found his words convincing and insisted on telling Larry about Chris's family. "Back then in college, Chris was dead poor and he was made mockery of by his mates and I pretended to love him because of his intelligence." She stated, heaving a sigh. "His father was a well-known gambler and a debtor.""And his mother?""I'm afraid, I don't know anything about Christopher's mother." Liana shook her head in d
Liana and the agent arrived at a secluded area, a dimly lit concrete room that nobody could easily trace. Liana was scared but proved to be strong-hearted, showing little to no concern about where the man was taking her."We need to proceed with the interrogation and that'll be in a place of no disturbance." The agent said with a small smile as he instructed the two men who came with them to stand as guards at the gateway while he led Liana inside the building.Liana walked behind the agent into the chilly, dimly lit room made of concrete. The walls were bare and the only light came from a flickering bulb on the ceiling. The room felt empty and eerie, with both her shadow and that of the agent dancing around. It was so quiet that even her footsteps echoed loudly on the hard floor felt uneasy, avoiding asking further questions to the agent, keeping her guard up but all she could do was wait in the tense atmosphere of the room."Okay, ma'am, you can have a sit." Cane the voice of the ag
The agent didn't know why he sounded so surprised upon hearing that Christopher Valgar was Liana's ex-boyfriend. He knew about that fact for sure but hearing her reasons behind why she left Chris made him so surprised. He already understood the kind of person Liana was and could tell she wasn't an easygoing woman and she seemed to be attracted to material things. He needed something to spice up the interrogation. He thought for a while and couldn't come up with anything. The agent took a glance at Liana who was busy staring at her fingers. She seemed to be less anxious and was at ease. Something will kill a cat. The man thought to himself as leaned closer to the tables clasping his hands, his face washed with seriousness. "How about I tell you that Larry Conrad is indeed related to Chairman Conrad?" He blurted out, waiting for Liana's reaction but to his greater surprise she laughed off his words. "Did I just say something funny?" He asked curiously."You didn't. Larry can't possibly
