Arthur blinked softly. His eyes squinted as the glare of the lights greeted him as he woke up after being in a state of emergency because of heavy blood loss.
Instead of finding Dwyane or Lia, he saw Aland sitting with his head bowed on the edge of the bed. Her eyes closed again to make sure before finally looking back at who was beside him.It was the same man he hated to death before. Aland.Arthur's hand moved towards Aland's closed head, hiding his face, when he suddenly saw movement from the sofa. Quickly, Arthur pretended to close his eyes again, as if he hadn't woken up from a long sleep.Dwyane was shocked to death when he looked at the clock. It was almost night and Arthur had not woken up. This was contrary to the information received from the doctor earlier.Slowly, Dwyane woke up Aland, who had fallen asleep by accident. "Mr Fischer. It's already dark. Shouldn't you be going home?"The surprised Aland got up hurriedly. He looked over to where Arth

"Are you sure you're okay?"Camellia asked from a distance. The look of concern was visible, but it was not savoured by Arthur as he had savoured the anxiety on Dwyane's face earlier.The two were now connected through a call Aland had made to Mr Cavill, who was visiting his daughter. Using a phone and a laptop, the two were now face to face, even though it was only through a call connection.Arthur nodded in response to his wife's question at the end of the call. Unfortunately, he could not take his attention away from Dwyane, who was busy writing in the corner of the room."I'm fine, Lia. What about you? Did mum cause trouble again? Did she hurt you?"Although she sounded more concerned than before, Lia knew very well that it was just a pep talk from her husband. She shook her head slowly as she wiped away tears with her sleeve."Listen to me, Arthur. I asked dad to contact Aland so I could connect with you like this for some reason. Although I just found o

"I'm going to file for a marriage annulment. So, will you be my lover, Dwyane?"Arthur's request just after Camellia disconnected the call made Dwyane melt. She burst into tears as he approached Arthur, who was still lying in the cage."Why just lovers? You can get married after cancelling your previous marriage," Aland said from the sofa.Aland immediately got up and approached with both hands in each of his trouser pockets. He grabbed his laptop before moving on, as he did not even get a response from his brother.Arthur was silent. Not only him, even Dwyane didn't know what to say when he was in the middle of such an awkward situation.As he put his work laptop in his bag, Aland spoke up again to help."I'll talk to Mr Smith right away. He will help you to file for a marriage cancellation as soon as possible. Only then, you guys can get married before you actually return to prison in six days. If you have anything to say, just call Pete--"Aland hadn't

"I do," Arthur said as he took out a red velvet box from beneath his luxurious clothes. He placed a simple ring with a single jewel on Dwyane's finger, which looked beautiful in his eyes.After that, the priest began to lead the prayers. It didn't take long for the two to sign the marriage contract.Although Arthur's second wedding ceremony was only held at the nearest church in the neighbourhood of the hospital, the happiness was evident on his pale face. He had been a wheelchair user for more than two hours, enduring the pain in his solar plexus after his surgery five days ago.There were only seven people in the church to witness Arthur's far from simple wedding. No party, no food. Only Shannon, Aland, Pete, Will Smith, John Benedict, Phil Allen, and Edward Frey, the officer who uncovered Arthur's many hidden cases.The first-born was given to Arthur, even though he was in a wheelchair. Seeing Arthur's weakening condition, the priest rushed the blessing and lighti

The screeching of cars could be heard in the distance as Tom leapt from the bushes onto the shoulder of the road. His uncontrollable speed caused him to trip over his feet, and he could not stand up in time for the luxury car to pass by.Pete quickly hit the brake pedal when he saw someone bounce a long way forward. He quickly got off after being cursed at."Can't you do your job properly, huh?"Tom's bouncing body immediately got up, albeit with difficulty, when he saw Pete get out of the car he was driving. Although his legs were still sore, he was still thinking about the right time to go to work.But before Tom could actually leave, he first bowed before the old man, who approached anxiously."S-sorry about me.""Are you alright? Sorry, I can't control the car because I haven't mastered the terrain. Should we go to the nearest clinic?""It's my fault, sir. It really is. I was in a hurry to catch the bus so I wouldn't get left behind. But where are you going? I don't think I've see

"You, maybe," Tom answered."Oh, come on, isn't there anyone else who would wake this damn man up from his dreams on this miserable morning?"Jill grinned, refusing to turn her head even though she knew Tom was talking to her. She raised her right hand, then shook it briefly to signal Pete to walk ahead.Seeing that, Tom shook his head at Pete while holding him back for a moment. Unfortunately, Pete couldn't do much about it. He hurried off, catching up with Jill, who continued to walk arrogantly.Tom let out a long sigh as he watched Jill and Pete leave for the orphanage administration room. Hesitantly, he headed back outside the fence. Working was his major goal, even though he knew the chances of being kicked out were greater than hope."How lucky I am to be free from the shackles of rich, ignorant person like that woman. Despite being repeatedly insulted and abused, at least I can get angry and resist others' treatment. I don't know how Mr Pete has endured meeting an arrogant pers

"I'm really unlucky today. It hasn't been five hours since I woke up in the morning, and I've already been insulted dozens of times! What the hell is this? There should be a warning that today is the unluckiest day! That way, I can be more careful than before, right?"Tom let out a long sigh. He thought back to Pete and Jill, who were not residents of the town where he lived."But what exactly are Mr Pete and Mrs Jill doing here? They're obviously not from here. But why come all the way to the orphanage just for a few strands of someone else's hair? It doesn't make sense."The butcher's knife Tom was holding again quickly sliced down the centre of the pork breast. He quickly removed all the entrails. He also cut the pig's back until the pig in front of him was completely split in two.Unfortunately, Tom was still thinking about the expression of the old man he had just met. "Even though Mr Pete doesn't work for that wicked witch. But why would he be that obedient to someone else? Ah,

"I'm serious, Mr Tom." Pete admitted.Tom was silent. This was truly a shocking fact. "Wh-what?""Yes! You are the first descendant of Mr James Fischer! The heir apparent of the worldwide JF Group! You are the heir who was eliminated!"Tom gaped as he released his grip. He rubbed his nose for a moment, then laughed while clapping his hands. "Wow! That was good, Mr Pete. Your acting is even better than any other actor! Now please stop the car and drop me off here. I need to get back before I'm completely fooled by this crazy charade! What kind of humiliation is your employer planning this time, Mr Pete?"Pete took Tom's hand, then mentioned some birthmarks that he still recognised. "Two round birthmarks on the right buttock cleft with a greenish colour certainly wouldn't surprise you, would they?"Tom widened his eyes. He withdrew his hand and moved away from Pete quickly. "How did you find out? No one knows about this birthmark except—""Yes, I know. Because I was the one who took car

Jill shook her head quickly, shaking off the image of Tom being too brave to come to his death. Jill's right hand waved at some guards, then pointed at Tom with a glare. "You guys! What did you do to let this beggar come and ruin the plans of Arthur, the heir to JF Group?!"Tom looked away briefly as the guards looked at him questioningly. He simply raised his hand, then returned to the stage in the centre of the garden."No need to be shy, Mrs Reynolds," Tom greeted. His hands were already in each of his trouser pockets."Who dare you to talk to her? Why are you guys stopping? Catch him and drag him out! Did you not hear me? Should I call dad first to get you to follow my orders?" scolded Arthur.However, Tom was already standing by his half-brother's side as he tapped Arthur lightly on the shoulder. "Calm down, dude. Calm down. Because they should be following my orders more than yours, Arthur.""Don't talk rubbish! Guards, come here! Take this guy out right now before I sack all th
