"No need to follow me. You will also know my next move. All you need to do for now is find Julie Andrews. Before I leave our neighborhood, I want the three of us to talk to enlighten you on the decision I'll make," he smiled bitterly, and Adamson agreed on what he wanted to do. While he felt sad, knowing their trio is going to end as one of them will separate away. "Sure. I'll do it. We should have closure. I also don't want you to leave us here without saying farewell," Adam was wondering to turn back time, wishing he hadn't confessed but it was the right thing he did that he has to accept the consequences, "It's okay if you don't say goodbye, you have the right to leave the table." Oliver gave him an emotionless face, "I will leave for our good. If I'll stay here, nothing will happen in my life, even if I work hard but it isn't enough. While I will also bring problems to you and Julie, especially since you like her but I'm the one she likes. It'll be uncomfortable for you when I'm
A few weeks passed, and Oliver and Adamson expected Julie to return to their neighborhood. They weren't sure if she would come back today, they were just hoping she would come back any day, they also had no communication with her, they couldn't contact her phone and they worried that something bad might happen to her. "It's already three weeks since she didn't communicate with us. Her uncle said she left without saying anything, Julie isn't the type of person who won't give permission. I'm really worried right now. What if something bad happened we're unaware of?" Adam said, standing in front of Oliver who was sitting on the stairs. "I don't know if her uncle is telling the truth. He also informed us that Julie left around the afternoon last second week of February. Before that Julie and I met at the Thompson's mansion then I dropped her at her uncle's house as she wished. I'm wondering how she left that fast without coming back to her apartment, we could also see her leaving cause h
After a minute of checking around the baker's room, they found no trace of her leaving, "Nothing was touched with her things. All her clothes are here. Her shoes, and some gadgets," the two walked out to go to Uncle's house Ben. "Yeah, there was no sign that she went to her apartment that time. Uncle's Ben house is the only place she went, hoping we can enter there," Oliver looked at his watch, he wanted to go back to his dad's private mansion but he had to help Adam to find Julie Andrews. Not far away, they can see the house of Benedict Andrews, they also saw the old man get out of his house while talking to someone over the phone, "Oliver, I think he won't let us enter his house. I tried to enter his house the other day but he stopped me, he has many excuses and it was fishy," Adam grabbed Oliver to hide behind the parked van. "Really? So we have to sneak up on his house?" Adam nodded at Oliver, they slowly went to the other side to pass behind. "What if we get caught? We can be
"What the hell!" They were shocked to see the unconscious woman lying on the floor. It was the baker Julie Andrews who has been imprisoned in her uncle's room for several weeks. A cloth was tied her mouth so no one could hear her voice. Her weight loss because of starving is also visible. She also has bruises on her body which she got from his uncle's physical assaults. "We need to take her out of here!" Adam carried her after untying the rope on her feet. Oliver assisted him outside and almost escaped but they heard someone coming. "Just escape, I'll handle him," he said and Adam followed leaving Oliver inside to face the bad guy. He could hear someone's footsteps coming up the stairs, he picked up a katana that was on the wall to use for defense. And as the man reached the second floor, Oliver greeted him with the sharp blade. "Hold on!" Carter was startled and it almost touched his neck."Why are you here?!" Oliver put it down as he calmed down to know it wasn't the old man. "I
After Adam's revelation, Oliver decided to leave their neighborhood and stayed with his father on his private mansion. He planned it to have more time to meet his father and to know what he planned for him. Carter was pissed at his move there but he can't stop his stepbrother because he has no right to stop him. "Do you have something against me that now you have courage to stick to dad?" Carter said, looking at some figurines displayed on the shelf. He already knows Adam said something to Oliver but he doesn't seem to be affected by what Oliver will know."I'm not a leech to stick to. It's just like I'm a magnet that sticks no matter what I do to get away from dad. He has a favor I can't decline, he's getting older and I'll take the time to be with him before it's too late," Time is running fast, while his father is still alive he needs to take the time to fill the years they were not together. "You have the right to spend time with our father, I'm just worried with his safety. I kn
"Do I look like I need to steal when I can get everything I want in the snap of my fingers. You think I stole Merideth from you? How come? If she's faithful with you, she will not come to me. She's the one who asked me to marry her," Carter said. "She did come to you because you scared her. I thought she cheated on me, I thought it's her choice to leave me but I was wrong. Something happened that I didn't know and she kept everything and deal with a jerk like you!" "You're delusional, Oliver. Adamson has poisoned your brain. You're thinking irrationally. You easily believe your friends when they're also stabbing you behind your back," Carter defended, "That's why you're easy to be manipulated, too soft and naive. A Thompson isn't weak. So it doesn't suit you becoming one of us." "Being soft doesn't mean I'm weak and easy to be manipulated. It's just people like you who take advantage of me for your own benefits. It's your choice to step on other people, you think I'm weak but you d
In the middle of the conversation between the stepbrothers, they did not notice the person coming with a gun. "How dare you enter my place?" The two were surprised when he spoke. The old man took out his gun and pointed it at one of them. Both brothers were nervous but Oliver walked near Carter to cover him. "Put it down, Uncle Ben," Oliver warned. The old man didn't listen, he pointed his gun at Oliver, "We don't intend to hurt you, okay?" He's trying to calm him down but the old man is so afraid that they already figured out for captivating Julie. "You took my niece," Uncle Ben panicked, his hand shaking, "I-I didn't do anything bad to my niece. I locked her up b-because she's going insane," he lied."Liar. You're the one who's insane," Carter blurted, "You're just afraid that we'll find out about the crimes you committed by kidnapping innocent children here in our town." Oliver elbowed his brother to keep him quiet. "Don't stress him out or we'll both die in no time," Carted sai
Adam was on his way to their location. In his haste to drive, he almost hit a pedestrian. "Shit!" He stomped the brake immediately but the woman fell on the road and he had to get off to assist the woman. He did not hit the woman who seems in her 30s and acted like she was hit so that Adamson could pay her money. "My leg hurts!" The lady cried, Adam knows her modus. "I know what you're doing miss. Don't fool me," he whispered and the lady raised an eyebrow. "You hit me! Look I can't move my foot!" she argued and some pedestrians are looking around them, "Do you know it was your fault that you over-speeded in the pedestrian lane!" "It's my fault for driving recklessly but it's not right to cheat on someone. You also fault-crossing when it's a green light." "Drivers must give way to pedestrians and let them cross safely!" Adam sighed heavily and opened his wallet to finish the mess. "Isn't this enough?!" he dictated as the lady immediately grabbed the money, smirking. On the othe
