The Gilgamesh family were gathered together in their huge family hall, each and everyone of them even the ones from overseas were called to come back. There were side talks going on left and right in the meeting hall. Victor, a middle aged man with a proud look on his face, turned his head around, he was sitting with the rest of his family members which were his wife and his two grown-up daughters. His gaze finally fell on Antonio who was sitting on the last tiers seat, it was only him and his partner that were occupying that seat. The Gilgamesh family were sitting in three different tiers of seat. The first one is for the most powerful and wealthiest ones among them, then they are arranged like that in descending order to the last tiers seat. You are to reach a certain stage of fame and also generating a certain amount of money from each company that you are heading or doing well in the department you are will get you a rise in the tiers of seats. Victor really despise Antonio m
Back then, a couple of decades ago Gonzalo Gilgamesh, the head of the family before Harry Gilgamesh was on a trip to overseas to visit his mother's family. He is known as the best head of the family the Gilgamesh have ever had for all the things he achieved during his reign. During his one week stay at his maternal family side he had a one night stand with a lady who got pregnant for him and gave birth to a son for him. Gonzalo would have loved to marry him but she rejected him for reasons best known to her which she still refuses to tell anyone up till now.She only fed the child till he could walk and gave him back to Gonzalo only on the condition that he would be allowed to come and visit her often which he agreed on. Antonio was later introduced to the rest of the family later on during a family's meeting. The family really showed their displeasure though their actions and their murmuring and some of them voiced out their anger on why he would get a child out of the wedlock an
He looked at his phone briefly and saw that it was a message notification from Alec immediately after he dropped the call but Robert just nodded his head and placed his phone back on the dashboard. The venue was one the hotels that was owned by Brenti industries and he had suggested having it this evening. Robert tapped on his wheel while waiting for the traffic light to turn to green, a smile slowly creep unto his lips, he had gotten what he wants to. “So dumb” he muttered. “This seems like Antonio’s job, he have another aim to achieve with that peace treaty that he wants to sign” Robert thought aloud but he couldn’t get to an answer at all. He sighed tiredly with a frown on his face. The dinner doesn’t look like it was a peace treaty at all or it might be, this is such Antonio idea, there he is no way that Alec would even want to have a feast with his enemy at all. Robert sighed and didn’t give it a thought about, his mind just wavered back to Hazel, when thinking about her cu
Robert was really surprised that they have found out so soon, he didn't try to mask his surprise at all."So if I sign, you will let her go" Robert said looking dejected."Just as simple as that" Alec said with a smile on his face. Robert raised his head to look at Alec with an expressionless face, his eyes void of any emotion. Alec couldn't tell what he was thinking but he had a smirk plastered on his face, he had finally cornered Robert that he was sure he would be forced to do his bidding even against his will.He had the look of a predator plastered on his face. "Hold up can I call?" Robert asked with his index finger held up in the air. "Yes you can" Alec said and rested on the chair. His face suddenly morphed into a frown and he froze in fear immediately afterwards. "You shouldn't have let him make the call bastard!" He could hear Antonio yell at him through the earpiece in his ear. "If you don't hear from me in..." Robert took a pause looking at his watch and then back u
Robert got home and poured himself a drink into a cup half filling it, bourbon to be precise. He gulped it down in one go, he felt the hot sensation against his throat as the drink slid down in his throat into his stomach. He took another gulp but this time he drank directly from the bottle, draining it to half of the bottle.He sat down on the floor in front of the couch in his sitting room, his feet on the floor while he raised his knee, his hand resting on his knees. The fear he felt at one of the Brenti’s hotels where he just had dinner at a few hours ago, he raised his head to look at what the time says on the clock that was hung on the wall opposite him, two-thirty, it was already way past midnight, he watched as the clock ticked slowly as each seconds pass by. He was sure that he had concluded the dinner at the hotel and left when it was some minutes past nine. He had hurriedly headed straight to the hospital where Hazel was admitted. He had drove here in fear and was pantin
Robert laid on his bed with his eyes closed shut and waiting to drift off to sleep.After turning and turning for hours sleep did not come to him at all, he stood up and went to pour himself a drink, sitting in front of the couch with his back bent and a bottle of bourbon on one hand while a glass cup was placed on his second hand. After hours of drifting in to thoughts, he raised his head up and throw it back with a sigh. No one can have everything go his/her way entirely, no one can have all his/her wishes granted, huh?Robert asked himself with a slight frown on his face, he looked at the things that adorned his sitting room, if one comes and looked at his assets, everything he owned now, he was sure that the person will surely have the mindset that he is happy when he would really trade all this properties just to have Hazel by his side today, from that exact moment, he will give anything he have just to hear a call that she is conscious or to be by her side when she blink her ey
Robert yawned as he made his way to the kitchen, he was clad in a tight white singlet that showed off all his muscles, his chest was very visible, on the lower part of his body he was clad on a gray jogging pant. He brewed coffee for himself and walked out of the kitchen to the pool at the backyard of his house, sitting on one of the chairs there while sipping from his cup of coffee slowly, he let out a sigh of relief as the incident of last night came rushing back into his head. He was really grateful to have gotten information about the evil deed that Antonio had committed which was enough to put him into prison and bring back memories that is sure to hurt him and distort his thinking faculty. Robert was sure that at that moment after he had mentioned Baldwin to the hearing of Antonio it was Alec that took over the wheels, Antonio had fallen back, it was said that the memory haunt him for a long period of time that he had to visit a therapist for a min period time, the incident l
Robert waited for the answer patiently, after the sheriff had sighed he had thought that he was going to say the answer but it was like he opened his mouth and shut it back immediately like there was a force or a promise preventing him from saying it. One thing he knows is that the police loves their images and they would do anything they can just to preserve the image, then their image must have been threatened then with something one of the boss at that top had committed. Antonio is as cunning as a fox, he can do anything possible just to let things go his way, he don't care what he have to do. Dropping this video on the internet will surely bring ugly comments about the police force and it will also tarnish their image completely. "Or should I drop the footage I have of that incident on the internet so I can get your official statement then?" Robert asked, using his fingers to drum on the table, he was beginning to lose his patience already. There was still silence like the she
