Alarick rushed over to the mansion hoping that his father wouldn't ask him too many questions and just follow him. He still wasn't sure how he was going to convince Cillian to leave the mansion but he was going to try. The estate was not secure until they discovered how the culprits had gained access to the house in the first attack despite the sophisticated security software they had.In no time Alarick had reached the house. He barely shut the door to his car as he rushed inside the building. He sprinted over to Cillian's study. Cillian wasn't there. Alarick checked his father's room and the dining area but Cillian was nowhere to be found. Alarick knew that there were only three more places he could check. The living room and the grave of Jonathan or his mother. He decided to check the living room first before he would go out to check on the mansion grounds.Alarick opened the doors to the large living room but froze on the spot when he saw what was being played on the flat screen
The massive gates of the King mansion opened up allowing Alarick's car to drive into the grounds. Once he parked in front of the main building and he and Grace had alighted, one of the staff took his keys and drove the car into the garage. He and Grace went into the mansion. The duo headed straight for the living room where Alarick left his father earlier but Grace had some questions."What's going on Alarick? Why did you have to come personally pick me up from the hotel?""I'll explain it later." Alarick replied.He opened the door for Grace to pass through first. "You're back." Cillian said as he watched Alarick and Grace walk through the door. He stood up to welcome them. Another person turned back to see them. Alarick's eyes collided with hers. It was Charlotte. Alarick spoke to her."Charlotte. You made it."Charlotte followed Cillian's lead and stood up. She gave a worried smile. "When uncle Cillian called me to come over immediately, I had no idea that it would be under the
Alarick decided to head over to the police station before going back to work. If there was a mole in the station then that meant someone might also be watching him. He didn't want anyone to know that his family was now out of harm's way so he had to play it cool.He arrived at the station almost an hour later and walked into the building. Alarick went straight to Maurice who he saw staring intently at a file on his desk. Alarick took a seat and Maurice looked up from his work to face him, surprised. "Any new leads?" Alarick asked."You were just here some hours ago Alarick. Nothing's changed as of yet. We haven't found anyone…"Maurice leaned in closer and whispered."...or found the mole yet."Alarick frowned. He was hoping that something would have come up by now. He started to speak."What about the security cameras on the road? They could have caught something.""The road that was taken when the attack hit had no cameras. The prison was in a far off no-touch zone. Most people don
The car arrived in front of the restaurant Le Bernardin. A valet opened the car door for Scarlett while Alarick came down on his own. Alarick started to walk into the building when Scarlett wrapped her arms around his. He froze for a second, shocked that she would show this much affection in public to someone who wasn't her husband. Alarick played the part though. He needed something from her and he was sure to get it. Scarlett smirked immediately as they crossed the threshold into one of the most exclusive and elusive restaurants in the city.Although the place was popular, there was little to no information about it. Only the elite knew what went in behind those doors. The mystery was what made it appealing to the 1 percent with deep pockets and Scarlett knew this. She had been here once before and she was impressed. Alarick was already doing something right. She spoke."You brought me to one of the most expensive restaurants for lunch? You must really adore me."Alarick chuckled a
Alarick checked the time on his watch. He contemplated going to work or going home. His decision was to go to work. Alarick had already missed a boatload of things and although the people at the company were taking good care of everything, he didn't want to be a half baked CEO. Alarick headed straight to the office once his mind was made up and informed Vivian he was returning. He parked in the garage himself and went into the building. As he reached the lobby, Vivian walked up to him. Alarick walked in front towards the office while Vivian was a step behind him."Welcome back sir.""Thank you Vivian. What's on my itinerary for the rest of the day?" Alarick asked after responding to her greeting. Vivian scrolled through the device I'm her hands."Since I didn't know if you would come back or not, I cleared out your schedule for today. Do you want me to bring anything up for you?"They stepped into the elevator and ascended up the company building. "Call the board back. We still hav
Alarick went home immediately to inform his father. There wasn't much he could do to hide it, sooner or later Cillian would find out. It was better if his father heard it from him first. Cillian was no longer the CEO but he hadn't retired just yet. Alarick got to the mansion and parked his car. He stepped out of the car but took his time entering the house. Once he did enter he went straight to his bedroom. He was about to video call his father to tell about what happened but he was hesitant. Cillian was supposed to be in hiding, protecting Grace and Charlotte and now Alarick was about to drop this bomb on him.Alarick opened the door to his bedroom and stepped in. He removed his suit and reclined on his workspace chair. Alarick tried to calm himself down as he brought out his laptop to contact his father. Once the laptop turned on, Alarick called his father. The video call rang three times before Cillian answered. Cillian chuckled through the screen."I actually expected you to cal
Later that day, an unknown man carrying a large bag walked into the King company building. He wore all black and his long pale blonde hair covered most of his face completely. The employees in the building watched the man in suspicion, wondering who he might be. The man walked over to the receptionist's desk. Her name tag read Clarissa. She looked at him warily but chose to act the way she was taught to. "Good day sir. How may I help you?" The man scratched his chin. "I'm looking for Alarick King." Clarissa typed on her computer. "All right. Just give me your name so I can see if you're on the system for today." The man didn't speak and continued to scratch his chin. The receptionist noticed what was going on and asked him a question. "You don't have an appointment, do you?" The man shrugged. "No but I am meant to see Alarick King." Clarissa looked away from her computer and then at him. "I'm sorry sir but if you don't have an appointment you can't see him today. I suggest
Alarick sat in his chair pondering on what he could do to get Charlotte back. He couldn't believe that the person whose father's death they bonded over would do such a thing to him. It was hard to believe. How would she even have a plan that would lead to her father dying or did she underestimate Jonathan's friendship with his father? Alarick tried to piece together all the information he had gotten some minutes before with everything that had happened so far, just as Chiny walked into the office. He had accumulated all the information that he could find on Charlotte and approached Alarick's desk holding a flash drive in his hand."I've got it." Chiny said, pulling Alarick out of his thoughts. Alarick brought out his hand to collect the flash drive but Chiny hesitated."The money."Alarick sighed."Give me your account number."Chiny smirked and called it out.Alarick typed on his computer for some time before speaking."Done."Chiny's phone dinged. He checked it and saw that he had
