"For your debut, we need to have your relatives in attendance. We haven't met them for a long time now, it's been many years now." Carlos suggests to Eric. "You know you have a lot of relatives, so which ones are we going to invite?" He asks, knowing fully well that they had enemies even in their family when he was younger. He believes that those people wouldn't change and he can't invite such people to his debut. "You will invite your mother, the woman that took care of you, you can't forsake her even if she left your father." Eric thinks for a while, placing his index finger on his lips, he remembers all those times he spent with her and how those days were sweet. He spent the first three years of his life mainly with her until he was dropped with his grandfather whom he lived with till he grew older. Carlos proved a good father with him and took care of him, he was however surprised when he threw him out. Now back to thinking about his mother, after she left him, he didn't h
"Go on, I'm listening." Eric is happy he has found someone with a good knowledge of what he's talking about. Just then the light of a helicopter flashes in the sky, both of them are attracted to it and they look up. As they are looking up, both have forgotten themselves and for those who were sent to attack them, it's the best time for them. They strike. A gunshot sounds, all seems to happen in a minute. Before either of them could realize, Mike drops, the first bullet passes through his back and penetrates to his front, flying out. Eric is the next after Mike, eight bullets are released into his body and he falls to the ground from the position he was sitting. He doesn't die but the pains are unbearable. Meanwhile, to his assassins, they assume he is dead. "Come, let's go. He is dead." One of the five men say and to his hearing, he sounds so faint. To him, he is passing out but the miracle occurs that even after many hours, he is still alive. He isn't found because no one knew h
Eric arrives at the hospital to thank the cops and despatch them to go into the second phase of investigation which is bothered on who wanted to assassinate him, the persons behind the assassination. Scarlett and Susan are the major persons in his mind. He can't take any action until he has confirmed this. Why he is still having some doubts about this is because Scarlett was known to be chasing Eric now he is wealthy, same with her mother. If this is true as his grandson told him, how would she want to eliminate him? This places him in a state of confusion but he is rest assured because he knows the cop would do their duties. As an extra encouragement to them apart from the salary they are paid, and under the permission of their superiors, he sends fifty thousand dollars each to the accounts of the cops that went to Mainland Lake fir and you search. "It's time to call Raine, she can come here with Mako." He says to himself. He called her, she had been waiting eagerly for his call
The next day, Scarlett and her mom are eating breakfast when a knock is heard on the entrance door of their apartment, it sounds so authoritative that it scares the life out of them. Before they wouldn't be really scared because they had money but now they are left with barely nothing to survive, just a little sound scared them. Susan sends Scarlett to go see who are on the door. She walks silently for fear of being heard, tiptoeing at certain points, careful not to collide with any object that will produce sound. She wants it to seem like no one is at home in case it's a danger she wouldn't open the door. As she reaches the tinted windows from outside, a loud sigh escapes her throat. She didn't intend the cops hearing but one of them did. "Who just sighed, will you open this door or we will knock it down!" A feminine voice sounds. She thought they were all males, her mom descends to come see what's going on. When she realizes they are cops, tension rises up in her chest. She b
Jack Robert's enthusiasm in getting more information from Frank shows in the way he takes additional notes himself despite the fact that his secretary is going on with his job perfectly. He can't afford to miss a single detail. He clears his throat, then looks up to Frank. "How many guys did you take with you to attack Eric?" "I took about four and we used a helicopter to navigate while another car was down. The essence of the helicopter was to distract them, we flew midway and when they looked up, we used this chance to attack." When the helicopter had passed with his lights flashing, Eric had been so focused that he lost track of his consciousness and the same occurred with Mike. Jack shakes his head with so much disbelief. He didn't believe that one of Hollywood's favorite actors would do this. After gathering all the details of the attack and sending it to the headquarters for permission to forward the trial, he got Frank reprimanded at the correctional facility, the prison
In the evening, Raine makes sure she has completed all her chores. After confirming this, she goes to Eric who has been discharged from the hospital. She knocks at the door of his room and a 'come in' order is made from the inside. "Yes sir, I'm done with my chores. I came to inform you that I'm going out, today is my free day." "So who is going to take care of Mako?" He asks tactically without even looking up. Who is going to take care of Mako? Raine rethinks, she is puzzled by the mood and tone Eric responded to her. Eric hasn't ever said this to her before. She swallows the lump in her throat. "I think he will need to stay with Miss Pat as he has always stayed each time I go out. It's in my job agreement to always go out and have a cool time during these free days." "Who made that law?" He asks her. "You, of course." Raine replies with confidence. "Then if it's me that made it, I can also amend it and cancel the free days." "Then with all due respect sir, I'll leave th
Eric is downcasted at the thought of allowing Raine to leave the estate to have a date with another guy. Is she just going out to have fun alone? No, it isn't. I'm sure I heard her talk to that guy over the phone about the proposed date. He sighs, walks over to the curtains of his room and looks outside, the early night sky is over the horizon with a few count of stars. He bends over the edge of the platform close to the window. "I wonder who the guy is? Look at how beautifully she was dressed for the date?" He asks himself. Then he rises from the platform and walks back to his bed. He had watched from the CCTV camera monitor in his room as Raine closed her door and walked to the elevator, in the elevator and even down, out of the street. He has unseen cameras all over the walls on the street which relates all that is happening to the security monitor system inside. He wants to sleep and forget about losing Raine but he just can't. He wasn't due for discharge as he was still rec
"I don't know the direction she is in but I'll use my phone." His phone is capable of doing all these. Each step closer shows on the screen and each step farther is also disclosed, with this, he traces his way until he finds her seated with a young, slender guy with a handsome face and good-looking stature. Jealousy seizes him. A waitress comes to welcome him and asks him to take a seat. He was confused on where to sit whether close to Raine and her partner or farther away but where he can still sight her. Having no choice, he takes his place at the next available table with two seats. His information officer takes a seat opposite him. Ten members of his security team all dressed in black suits take their seats not too far from Eric. Their bills would be sponsored by him and their duty is for them to monitor where he is sitting, as bodyguards ought to do. Meals are ordered to Eric's table and the other tables where his security men have occupied. "Sir, for how long are we staying
