"So you're challenging me, Daren?" Laura said sarcastically. She was quite good at hiding her panic in front of her ex-husband. Right now, Laura was terrified. She was afraid the truth would come out if Daren was still alive. "Of course, darling. I challenge you because I'm innocent. I'm not the killer. The real killer is...""ENOUGH DAREN!!!" shouted Laura, cutting Daren off. "You're the killer! It's obvious you're the killer! Why are you always so evasive, huh? All the evidence points to you.""Really?" Daren looked calm as he faced his ex-wife. Daren slowly stepped closer to Laura, "If I'm found guilty, Inspector Barra won't set me free, darling," Daren whispered with a smirk. Laura was wide-eyed, she immediately pushed Daren's chest and ran away from the place. Daren smiled faintly at Laura's back. "You did this to me, Laura. I love you so much," Daren whispered to himself. Varro patted his son on the shoulder, stroking Daren's back. The man felt what his son was feeling righ
A few days later. "Where are you going, Daren?" asked Varro when he saw his son looking presentable. "Daren is going to Laura's house. I want to give the divorce papers to my ex-wife," Daren said. "Oh!" Varro nodded firmly. "Oh yes, Daren. I'm going to introduce you to someone," his father said later. "Someone? Who is it, Dad?" asked Daren, knitting his eyebrows together. "He's your personal assistant, Daren. I guess you could say he'll be your accomplice."Varro then called his confidant who would be his son's assistant. He was Arsen. The man appeared after being summoned by his master. "Good morning Young Master Daren, good morning Mr. Varro," greeted Arsen in a friendly manner. "Good morning too, Arsen." Daren answered Arsen's greeting. "Well Arsen, starting today you will be the personal assistant of Daren, my son," said Varro. "Yes, Mr. Varro.""Father, Arsen, then Daren will take his leave. I have to deliver the divorce papers soon," Daren said. "Should I accompany you
Laura arrived at the set. Her eyes lit up when she found Charlie resting. With sure steps, Laura approached the man, her dark lover."Charlie!" Laura exclaimed with her face bent. Charlie turned around, looking surprised to see Laura on set."Laura, you've come here. What's wrong?" asked Charlie curiously. She didn't usually come to see him on set. Laura took a breath before she answered Charlie's question, "This morning, Daren came to the house with the divorce papers. Finally, Daren and I are officially divorced, Charlie. So, I don't have to go through the hassle of getting a divorce from him."Charlie was silent for a moment, before smiling. He was happy that Laura would finally be all his. Charlie's purpose in marrying Vivian, Laura's stepmother, was not only to capitalize on her wealth, but also to be closer to Laura, and now what he wanted was within his grasp."That's great, honey. So we can get married soon," she said as she gently stroked Laura's hand.Laura nodded, even th
"Where are you, Daren? Why aren't you home yet?" his father asked on the phone. Varro was worried about Daren wandering off on his own. His good name had not yet been restored, and he feared that his son would be the subject of more gossip about Vivian's death."Daren's at the park, Dad. Don't worry, I'm fine. I was bored, so I wanted to get some fresh air," Daren said."Alright, if there's anything, let me know.""Yes, Dad."Daren then walked leisurely while enjoying the scenery in the park. He didn't expect to meet Charlie, his ex-wife Laura's lover."Shit! Why did I have to meet that asshole!" Daren growled to himself.Fate was indeed bringing Daren together with that man. How annoying! "Hey, Daren!" exclaimed Charlie as he waved.Daren didn't return Charlie's greeting, he remained indifferent."It's true what Laura said, you're still alive! Maybe you have a thousand lives. Haha... but, I won't give up. I'll make sure you go to hell as soon as possible," Charlie whispered. Daren
"Daren didn't hurt me, Charlie," Laura replied, "but... " Without Charlie realizing it, one of Laura's hands was clutching the hem of her dress as she was upset to see Daren with a beautiful woman. "But what, honey?" asked Charlie curiously. "That's it. Forget it." Laura couldn't possibly tell Charlie the truth. "Okay, we should go home," Charlie said, to which Laura nodded her head. Laura didn't want Daren to get close to another woman. So, Laura wanted Daren dead or rotting in prison as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Naumi and Daren were sitting on one of the benches still around the park. Naumi's mind kept wondering about Vivian's death case involving Daren, the man she was going to marry."Should I ask Daren the truth?" Naumi said to herself. Daren felt awkward sitting next to Naumi. He also didn't understand why Naumi had caught up with him and invited him to sit in the garden. "Naumi," Daren called out, breaking the silence. "Uh yeah, why?" said Naumi. "Why are you so qu
It was time for Daren to get back to his martial arts training. He strode into the dojo excited, ready to resume his martial arts training."Cheer up, Daren! You have to get stronger so you can fight your enemies!" Daren said to himself. A strapping middle-aged teacher was waiting for him."Welcome back, Daren," greeted the teacher with a smile. "It looks like you're very ready to continue training," the teacher said as he tapped Daren on the shoulder. Daren nodded firmly, "Of course, teacher. I can't wait to master all these martial arts techniques as soon as possible," Daren said firmly.Once Daren had mastered these martial arts, he could focus more on his father's business. The teacher smiled proudly at Daren's seriousness."Alright young man, let's get started. As always, we'll go over some basic techniques first," the teacher said. Daren nodded, then quickly assumed the ready position. His tall, well-built body seemed to get fitter as time passed. Daren looked even more hand
"Who is he?" Laura asked impatiently. "That Mr. Daren, he's... ""Arsen!" Daren shouted, cutting Arsen off. "Hurry up and take that woman home! Hurry up!" shouted Daren sounding snapped. "Yes, Young Master!" replied Arsen. Laura was upset because she didn't get a satisfactory answer from Arsen. Plus, while in the car, Arsen deliberately used a headset so that he didn't hear the questions from Laura who kept pressing him. "Arsen! Quickly tell me, who is Daren?" Laura shouted. Arsen even nodded his head to the rhythm of DJ music. "How annoying. Daren must have warned this guy to keep his mouth shut! Ah why do I care so much? It's not important anyway," Laura grumbled. Daren called his father's personal driver to pick her up. Laura's car would be taken to the garage by the driver. "I should have just let Laura get raped!" muttered Daren, regretting saving that traitorous woman. Arsen had dropped Laura off, and he left immediately to avoid being questioned by Laura. Laura also
Laura was getting nervous and so was Charlie. "We need to do something fast, Charlie!" Laura said, "Daren is very dangerous!" Laura rubbed her face roughly. "Yes, dear. You stay calm. I will eliminate Daren as soon as possible. Before that, I'll tell the media that we're closing this case." Charlie tried to calm Laura down. "You always say that, Charlie. But until now you haven't done anything! You're too busy with work!" Laura snapped.Charlie immediately contacted someone, he would get that person to work together to eliminate Daren and also Inspector Barra. 2 days later, at Naumi Aurora's residence."Naumi, I remind you once again, don't be friends with a killer. Don't you understand the danger?" said Mrs. Pamela, Naumi's mother. "But, Mom, Daren's not a killer! He's just being slandered. Naumi already heard the story from him," Naumi argued. "Why are you bringing it up again? That sucks!""So you just believe it? Does she have proof? Or did he show you proof?" asked Mrs. Pame
