"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
At a café Varro and Albert sat across from each other over a cup of hot coffee.Varro looked at Albert with a serious look on his face, "What's up, Albert? I can't believe you asked me to meet you here. You're usually so busy with work." Varro smiled as he took a sip of his coffee. Albert also sipped his coffee for a moment, then looked at Varro, "I heard that Daren Navarro is your son, huh? Is that true? My daughter Naumi says Daren is your son."Varro nodded, "Yes, Albert. Daren is indeed my son. The Daren whose identity I have been hiding. So, Daren and Naumi have met?"Albert placed the coffee cup on the table, "Varro, you know how much I value our friendship, right? But, I must be honest with you. I reject our son's arranged marriage. I don't want my daughter to marry a killer. Where would I put my face if Naumi married a killer!" Varro tried to remain calm, though he was beginning to grow angry. "Daren is not that woman's killer, Albert!"Albert sighed, "You are his father, Va
Right in front of the orphanage gate, Daren got out of the taxi that had brought him. Daren had been given a luxury car, even a driver and bodyguard. A smile of happiness spread across his face as he saw the place that had raised him."I haven't been here in a long time," Daren muttered.The orphanage mother, a middle-aged woman with greying hair, welcomed Daren warmly. "Welcome back, Daren!" she greeted him as she hugged him tightly. "It's been a long time since you visited here, son."Daren returned her hug, "I'm sorry, Daren, ma'am, Daren just had time to come here again," Daren said with great emotion.They walked together to the orphanage's living room. There, the orphanage mother invited Daren to sit and chat. "Mom, Daren brought you my favorite cake," Daren said, handing the gift to the woman who had raised him. "Thank you, Daren, you still remember my favorite." The woman was so happy, especially when she found out that Daren was back with his father. "Of course, Daren wi
ONE WEEK HAS PASSED. Daren's condition had started to improve after a few days in the hospital. "Daren, are you fully recovered?" asked Varro. "Yes, Father. Why?" asked Daren. "Tonight there's a party at the club. I can't make it, I have some business to attend to. Today I'm going to Malaysia.""Going to Malaysia? Why so suddenly, dad?" "Yes, Daren. That's why if possible you should attend the event.""But, dad. They don't know my identity as your son," Daren said hesitantly. "I will tell my friends that you are my son. After the business in Malaysia is over, I will announce to the public about your identity," said Varro. "Okay, dad. Daren will go to the event. You be careful."Varro Davidson Alexander, besides being a successful businessman in several European countries, also had businesses in Asian cities, including Malaysia. Night fell. Daren entered a club filled with colorful lights and pounding music.Daren came accompanied only by Arsen, his assistant. "Young Master,
