Persia walks into his Villa raging hot. He couldn't contain his anger. The night already crawling in. He knows perfectly well Ma Sandy might not survive another minutes with his enemy. ' She might even be murdered as her maid was ' He thought to himself bitterly. When Persia emerges into the lighted living room, Phyllis and Fern were having a conversation so he interrupted it with his entry. " Persia! " Fern exclaimed immediately when he saw him and Phyllis gulped down hard when she saw the bloodstained on his cheek. " Where is she? Did you got grandmother? " She asked but her fiance didn't reply. Persia was too mad to say anything. He left the living room and walk into his bedroom where he flopped on the couch. " Grandma... Grandma where are you? Please give me a clue. Let me find you " He keeps saying to himself. He was lost. He was feeling miserable and enraged. That moment he swore to end the Juans once he found his grandmother. The door opens slowly and Phyllis walk in. T
The wind was blowing so much when they all troop out under the clear sky. It is a little minute to morning and the tension was still high. Persia walks Phyllis to a car. He opens the door for her but the lady didn't follow the flow. Instead, she stood still adamantly and stare at him. Persia however had made up his mind. He wiped off all humor in his expression. Slowly he Lean over and gifted his woman a light kiss on the cheek before he finally step aside. " Go in. I will keep in touch " He said abruptly with a tone that signifies finality. Phyllis knows there isn't a way out anymore. She had to obey him. She nodded and get into the car gently. No words were spoken between them anymore but Persia nodded at the man behind the wheel who is all set to take Phyllis to the private airport. " We are running late already. I pray Ma Sandy is still alive Persia " Fern declared with his tone shaking when the young septillionaire walk towards his car. Phyllis's car has cruised out alrea

His hand flashed behind his attacker and the latter jumped forward.Persia watched as the man's body swerved to the left then he grab him by the hand. Persia tried to wriggle free but he was out of luck. The man slammed into his tummy a hard punch and he double up. He clenched his teeth and he managed to get up to his feet. From the corner of his eyes, he could see and hear the others fighting as well. He saw Russell being kicked by the ankles and that blow brought him heavily onto the floor. Persia also saw Wesley slamming a punch to the heart of the man he was fighting. The brawling goes on for minutes and at l everyone gets exhausted. In no time everyone fell, Including the men who had abducted Ma Sandy but Persia still stand tall. He wouldn't go down easily, he vow to himself. His grandmother's life is in grave danger. He won't be leaving her to
Persia Bert couldn't contain his happiness. He took his cell phone gingerly and lean against the wall to call Garcia. He briefs the man on his desire to arrive that same day. Persia disconnected the call after listening to Garcia's laughter. " We are throwing a party for your return young master," He said before disconnecting. Persia let out a sigh as the memories flood in. He took a quick bath and return to the living room where he saw the men already having their early breakfast. Even the sun has begun to reveal itself. Persia walks slowly to them and he sat down before the table as well. " What are the odds Persia? We won " Wesley mutters breathlessly as He sips his wine. They laughed at the thought now after every danger has passed them by. Wesley finally decided to leave. He bid everyone farewell and Persia gifted him a car to show his appreciation.

Before the hazy mirror in the little dimly lighted room with three beds Persia adjusted his t-shirt and smile at his reflection in the mirror. " Do you think Celia will accept my proposal tonight guys? " He asked his two friends Fernando and Russell who sat on their bed." Why not? " Russell who is reading an old book replied. " You both have been together for two years now " " I see no reason why she would say no. After all you are both colleagues too at work " Fernando chipped in. The response from his roommates gladden Persia's heart. He walk away from the mirror and picked up a credit card that sat on the small table at the corner. " I should go now. I'm late already for the anniversary " He said as he made to walk out but Russell was quick to stop him. " Isn't that our joint credit card you took? " " Yes it is. Uh.. I exhausted all my savings when I took Celia out for shopping. You know she has to look good today at the Juans co anniversary " " So you took our card for wha
" So you are the fool who had fought with Davey Juan of all people? " One of the cops asked. They are standing just beside a patrol car.The hefty men had left Persia with the two angry cops. They regarded him with contempt all through. After a lot of taunting, one of the cops said Persia will have to bail himself out with $50,000. This makes the poor man to drop his jaw. Lost and miserable he had no choice but to tender the card with him. After some assessing the cops uses the card and tosses it to him. " Stupid! You only got half of the money here. What do you take us for? A beggar like you! " That moment Persia received a debit alert on his cellphone. His shoulder sagged when he saw all his life savings with that of his two friends turn zero. The cops seeing how dejected he is later chase him off. Persia finally find a space bench where he sat on. He still couldn't believe everything that has happened.Just then his cellphone rang out, jolting him back to reality. He picked
Persia was dumbfounded. He couldn't move. He stare down at the cellphone of Garcia that still shows the face of an elderly man whom he remembered visited him in the orphanage home. He knows there is more to everything. He had always known he has a root somewhere. " What happened? " He requested from Garcia after choking back the bile in his throat. " Tell me everything and Do not leave anything out " " It all happens years ago " Garcia began smoothly. " Your grandfather the great Pa knotty is the most successful business man in the city. he is the lifeline of masses. The master of the universe. " Married to two women, each bore him one son each.

" After growing wane and all, pa knotty decided to appoint an heir to his wealth. Everyone prefer Bert because he is the most generous and beloved son of pa knotty while Juan is quiet the opposite.

The lighted hospital has many secret passages to Ma Sandy's room. When Persia was lead towards the underground he was confused. " We have to keep her out of sight. Only few doctors attends to her and only few knows she is still alive " Garcia was quick to whispers when he caught the expression on his face. Persia however only responded with a nod.
