The assembly man's frown deepened at Marcus's request, his brows knitting together. "Do you know these people?" he questioned. "They nearly killed my son. I can't forgive them; they deserve to be punished, even killed. I am considering killing them and feeding their flesh to my dogs."Marcus nodded solemnly, his gaze unwavering as he met the assembly man's eyes. "Yes, they deserve it. That is a heinous crime; your son nearly died. But I know them, they are my friends," he affirmed. "They're not the people you think they are. They're friends of mine, and what happened was just a misunderstanding. They never intended for anyone to get hurt."The assembly man groaned, pointing at Lydia. "But this woman here doesn't feel any remorseful," he said. "She kept telling me that my son deserved it, she kept stepping on my nerves. I can't just let them go; I can't do this for you, please."Marcus smiled and stated, "I know you are just angry, and that you don't mean it. You gave me a whopping $20
Marcus watched with concern as Sophia hurriedly boarded the plane, her sudden departure leaving him perplexed and worried. He couldn't shake off the feeling that something was terribly wrong.Feeling Kathie's gentle tap on his shoulder, Marcus turned to face her, his expression still clouded with concern."Let's go," she said softly, her eyes reflecting her own worry, so down.Nodding silently, Marcus followed Kathie, "Uhm, what a long day!" he said to deliberately spark a conversation.Kathie didn't respond and kept walking. They reached the car parked beside the airport. She opened the car for Marcus.Observing Kathie's demeanor as Marcus entered. Her usually bright eyes seemed dull, and her shoulders slumped, and she looked puffy.Concerned, Marcus gently placed a hand on Kathie's arm and asked in a soft tone, "Is everything alright, Kathie? You seem... different."Kathie forced a weak smile, but it didn't reach her eyes. She hesitated for a moment before responding, her voice bare
Sophia arrived back in the state, she immediately made her way to her house where her father was waiting for her. She knew she was going to face something big.She entered, holding her breath, and there he was, Mr. Victor Newman on the sofa, sipping tea in a mug. And beside him bowed Joel..."Father?... good morning," she politely greeted him and bowed. Mr. Victor didn't act like he was there; he sipped his tea and focused on the news, which the headline stated, "Mr. Thonks, the billionaire, appoints his anonymous son as the CEO."Mr. Victor chuckled, "Anonymous?.. I wonder why he is concealing his identity, to attack me?"Sophia didn't have the idea of what he was saying. Joel smirked at her, and just then Mr. Victor raised his hand and stated, "who is the man you are with?""Man? Oh yes, my bodyguard," she answered, putting on a fake smile. Mr. Victor chuckled and stood up, then walked slowly towards her."That is not what I heard from the board leaders. Who the hell is that fuckin
"What did you just say, irrelevant people?" Ivan angrily said, as he stepped forward, with an angry motion, but Paulina grabbed him. Then stepped forward."She is dying and needs urgent surgery; she could die if care is not taken.""That is none of my business, we are short of surgeons at this moment, and we really need this nurse right now, the congressman sons were involved in an accident, they could die also," the doctor insisted."But we are the first to reach here, you could just have immediately directed them to another hospital," Ivan argued."Don’t you hear what I just said? I said they are the congressman’s sons, I don’t have time exchanging conversation with you, nurse... meet me in the OR," the doctor said and dashed away.Ivan looked at the nurse, who was also reluctant to go, but they had no choice, or else, they will lose the job."I am sorry, I have to go," the elder nurse said, a woman probably in her late 40s."You know she will die," Ivan stated.The woman nodded, "b
As the old counts, "1...2...". Ethan finds himself on his knees, desperation in his voice, "Please, I'm just curious. I see them carrying something out of a van," he explains anxiously. The old man can't help but laugh. "And you want me to believe that? You're here as a driver, yet you won't stay in your place," he scoffs. "Anyway, you've seen what you shouldn't have, and for that, you'll have to pay with your life," he declares, signaling to the armed man to proceed with the grim task. But Ethan pleads earnestly, "Please, I'll do anything. Anything you want." His sincerity is evident. The old man leans forward, a wicked grin on his face. "You'll do anything?" he inquires, raising an eyebrow. Ethan nods vigorously, desperation in his eyes. "Yes, yes, I will," he affirms. The old man exchanges whispers with the person beside him, their eyes locked in a sinister understanding. "Alright, I'll give you a chance," he relents. Ethan sniffs in relief, "Thank you. I'll do anythin
