Revenge in The Dark

The towering iron door opened, and a man stepped out of it slowly. A backpack was strapped to his broad, muscular back.His gaze was sharp with a hardened jaw. The man was 35-year-old Diego Cartwell Burke, an ex-convict who was officially released from prison today.Diego had completed his 10-year sentence for murder, a crime he never committed, but had to serve a long sentence for.Diego walked with certainty, striding through the crowded streets of Boston. No money made him walk to his destination. Those muscular legs stepped into a house.Yes, Diego was returning to his childhood home. Diego thought it was empty, but it turned out that the mansion was occupied by his uncle's family, Diego's father's younger brother.Diego's uncle was named Austin, and Austin's wife was named Margareth. They had a son named Carlos, who was the same age as Diego, 35 years old.Margaret, Austin's wife, was shocked to see Diego standing in the doorway she had just opened. Diego had a meaningful smile o

"I once eavesdropped on Mr. Austin, Mrs. Margaret, and Mr. Carlos talking in the backyard. They were celebrating the success of eliminating Mr. Brandon and Mrs. Cecilia and framing you for the murder of your parents, even though I know you never did it."Diego was stunned into silence as soon as he heard this statement from Susanne's mouth. He didn't want to believe it, but it seemed to be true.What Susanne said matched Austin's treatment at the office. He had rudely sent Diego away. Diego was actually the heir to Brandon, his older brother. Austin had taken over Diego and Gloria's parents' entire estate.It's sad. One's own relatives are so cruel to other relatives just for the sake of controlling wealth and property.Diego had no idea that his uncle was the mastermind behind his parents' death. Not only that, Austin had also manipulated the killer to lead Diego to a 10-year sentence.Diego's hands clenched into fists, his jaw hardened, his lips trembled. Before he knew it, Diego's

Carlos arranged a meeting with the owner of the new company through his secretary. It had been so challenging to secure the meeting that the third request was finally approved.The purpose of this meeting was for Carlos to advise the new company owner not to overextend themselves.Austin had asked Carlos to have a word with the new company owner.The meeting was scheduled at a fancy restaurant in downtown Boston at 7 pm. Carlos had arrived at the reserved table half an hour early.Carlos observed the scene in the upscale restaurant closely. He scrutinized each person, trying to guess who he would be meeting that night.This went on for 40 minutes. It was quite frustrating as the person he was waiting for had not shown up.Finally, after another minute, someone quietly took a seat in front of Carlos, placing two interlocked hands on the table."Hi, Carlos," Diego greeted with a smile."Diego?" Carlos replied with a frown, then straightened his back suddenly as he was startled by his co

A knock on the door was heard by Carlos, who was fast asleep in his room. Carlos began to open his eyes slowly, then pushed away Samantha's hand that was pressing on his stomach.Carlos glanced at the clock on the wall with narrowed eyes; it was only 2 am."Carlos... open the door!" The person knocking on the door spoke.Carlos knew that voice well. It was the voice of Margaret, his mother."Why is Mom knocking on my door at this time of night? What's wrong?" Carlos asked himself as he gathered his wits."Who?" Samantha asked Carlos, who also woke up."Mom.""What's wrong with you knocking on my door at this time of night?""I don't know."The knocking grew louder, Carlos got out of bed, and opened the door immediately. Meanwhile, Samantha remained in bed.Sure enough, Margareth was already standing at the door with a panicked look on her face when the door opened. Margareth was holding a lit cell phone. Apparently, the old woman had made several phone calls to someone. "What's up wit
