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
A/N: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS A SENSITIVE SCENE AND I MAKE SURE TO TO MAKE EVERYTHING GO ACCORDINGLY EVEN THOUGH ITS NOT MY FIELD. PERSONALLY, I DEDICATE THIS CHAPTER TO ALL MY READERS, ESPECIALLY THE ONES THAT ARE FROM THE PHILIPPINES AND THE UNITED STATES. THANK Y'ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORTS....Yue Wang was greeted by the sterile scent of the hospital room as she stirred awake. Blinking away the remnants of the sleep in her eyes, she glanced around, her bisons quite blurry because she had spent all night watching over Christopher until she fell asleep in exhaustion.Gently lifting her head from the edge of Chris's bed, she peered over him to see how she was fairing, if he had at least regained consciousness, her heart skipped a beat as she saw doctors bustling around him. She only recognized the doctor who had been attending to him since they arrived but the other doctors didn't seem familiar and why were they swarming over Chris like bees? There was a flurry of activity, like something
Chairman Conrad rushed to the hospital ward where he met the doctors retreating from Yue Wang's direction to meet him. He was curious to know why there were three doctors instead of one and if anything had happened to draw their attention. At the thought of that, his heart clean he'd with anxiety. His mind filled with a million fears as he prayed for the recovery of his grandson.When the doctors walked closer in his direction, his heart leaped into his throat, his breath catching in his chest as he braced himself for whatever news they were going to break to him. The doctors stood in front of him, locking gazes with the chairman whose eyes searched for any kind of news using the facial expressions of the doctors but it was of no use because their expressions were void and icy cold."I suppose there's good news regarding his condition." Chairman Conrad said, trying to assure himself and bring forth positivity at least, he struggled to maintain posture while his voice wasn't as firm as
Cosmos was at the exact location where he was supposed to meet with Sapphira. He found other elites walking in and out of the hotel bar and decided to ask about the reservation that was made by Sapphira which was in a private area that only she could access."Thank you." He said to the receptionist as he headed to the reservation on the first floor of the hotel. On getting there he met Sapphira waiting for him, standing elegantly which her evening red dress as she held a wine glass, swiveling it as Cosmos gulped hard."Cosmos, my dear. You came just in time." Sapphira said as she took a sip of the wine, her red shades of lipstick staining the wine glass as she dropped it on the table beside her, grinning. "Let's talk at the balcony, I'll use some fresh air." She said leading the way.Cosmos heaved a sigh and followed her from behind quietly, his steps hushed. On getting to the balcony, she adjusted a sit-out for him which he found weird but sat without hesitation."So, why the meeting
Cosmos stood at the balcony like a statue. His head spinning with all sorts of thoughts. He wondered what he has gotten himself to by being an unknown ally to Sapphira. He felt guilty of leaving the hotel and going straight to see the chairman and his grandson but he had to, he didn't have any choice. He walked out of the balcony and saw Sapphira sitting on her bed, on phone with someone until he heard the voice that resounded over the phone."I'm at the company and Cosmos and I are talking about the current article." He heard Sapphira said with a small smile on her face as she winked at him.Cosmos lips were spread apart in utter disbelief. Just why does she want to implicate him. She even had the audacity to hand over the phone to him but he was washed in anxiety. He took the phone after Sapphira had muttered some unknown words to him. "Yes, Chairman Conrad?""Cosmos, I thought I told you to leave the article but why don't you listen?" Chairman Conrad said angrily, yelling over the
