Chapter One Hundred Three: Friends.“HOW did you know that it was him?” Albert asked. “Leviathan is powerful now. Their company might not be doing good now but I know that he has an underground business that’s doing good.”Paxton cleared his throat before he replied. “Because he’s my brother-in-law.”Albert was taken aback after hearing that. For a while, he hesitated to tell Paxton about what he knew.“You’re his brother-in-law? And you are trying to put him in jail?”“Yes. Is there a problem with that? I will pay you the money that I promised you right after you tell me what you know. And if you also help me find his parents and relatable things in his case, I will add another payment.”Still afraid, Albert sighed while looking at Paxton. Doubt is evident in his eyes and so he held his hand.“Pay me half of the money I want before I continue,” he replied.Instead of opposing it, Paxton sent him half of the money online. That’s when Albert started to talk about Clinton McBee.“Clinto
Chapter One Hundred Four: Evidence. JOSEPH was so mad at Paxton and William. He even took an axe and run towards them and because of fear, they have no choice but to get out of the gate to escape. As soon as they went out, Joseph quickly locked the gate while glaring at them. “Don’t come back here again!” he yelled. “Sir, we just need to help you. Please, let us in!” William said. “This man beside me will help you solve the case of your son, Clinton.” Surprised, Joseph was stunned after hearing that from Willaim. “What do you mean you’re going to help us? He’s dead for almost twenty years! How are we going to solve that case? You’re fooling me! Leave us alone!” “I will prove to you that I can solve his case.” “Even though you’ll find out the culprit, you will never catch him!” Joseph replied. William glanced at Paxton. Hearing that from Joseph, it seemed like he knew something. He knew who was the killer… “You know, Sir?” William asked. Joseph shook his head and then he scof
Chapter One-Hundred-Five: Connections.WITH the evidence in his hands, Paxton was so sure that he can put Leviathan behind the bars. This knife was filled with Leviathan’s fingerprints and Clinton’s blood. This is the best evidence to submit to the police for re-investigation.Without hesitation, Paxton didn’t waste time sending the evidence to the police. “Send this to the police and tell them that it’s a delivery,” he said. Then he handed the box to Hiroshi.“Damn, should I really do this? I want to sleep!”“The police didn’t know your face.” Hiroshi agreed to deliver the box to the polices as a disguised delivery rider. Paxton has to hide his identity so Leviathan wouldn’t know that it was he who sent it. Though he can guess, at least he has no evidence that it was him.After Hiroshi left their hideout, he leaned back on the couch and then closed his eyes. It was already twelve midnight and he was so exhausted. Hiroshi complained and told him to just do it tomorrow morning but he
Chapter One-Hundred-Six: It’s Isn’t.TWO years had passed and never once Paxton visited Sylvester when he got imprisoned. He couldn’t face him. Just thinking how he was deceived by Sylvester, his real father whom he treated as his godfather, it’s already boiling his head. What more if I saw his face, again?But today was different, he was desperate. He knows that Sylvester is having fun inside the prison because he was like a King in that place. Although he didn’t visit him once, he knows what he was doing there by using an errand man to do it.“You look more mature but still handsome. Did you find a new girl?” Sylvester asked right after he sat down on the chair in front of him.He remained staring at him for a while. Shaking his head, he couldn’t believe that this old man is enjoying his life inside this suffocating prison.“What? Are you just going to stare at me? Did you miss me a lot that you visited me here after two years?” Sylvester propped his elbow on the table and put his h
Chapter One-Hundred-Seven: Fabricate.PAXTON felt guilty upon telling those to Amery. Right after he took over the ownership of Lifeline Medical Center, he already knew that Amery’s father doesn’t have money in the company, instead, it was all debt. He paid all the debt to avoid the interest going higher. He didn’t discuss this matter with Amery because he doesn’t want to hurt her. But then today, he doesn’t have a choice. If he didn’t, she will continue wasting the money that he worked hard to contain for the past years. This money is Cartier’s money. Not just his. He couldn’t afford to waste it on luxuries. Before he can’t even buy luxury clothes out of his family’s money… now he remembered Lorelei again. She’s the one who bought new clothes for him. It has been two years since he buys new clothes, still, those clothes are well-maintained. He couldn’t afford to ruin the clothes, coats, and shoes that his wife bought for him.He sighed and took a bath so he could go to the hospit
Chapter One-Hundred-Eight: Better Dead.THREE days after Leviathan was imprisoned, Paxton doesn’t have any news about what was happening to him inside the jail. To be honest, he doesn't care. For as long as he’s behind the bars, he doesn't care. He wished that Levithan wouldn't be able to escape this time. He have done a lot of terrible things and he didn't deserve live freely.Paxton was busy untying his necktie when a knock made him stop. “Come in,” he replied.The door opened and Brixon peeked on the door. “Uncle, your in laws are waiting for you downstairs.”His brow arched. “What are they doing here?”Brixon shrugged. “I didn't know, but they seemed upset…”Instead of changing his business suit, he nodded and followed Brixon outside to see why they visited. He saw them sitting on the sofa on the living room. Sharon was crying while Morgan was comforting her although he was also upset as well. He closed his eyes tightly, took in a deep breath before he opened his eyes and conti
Chapter One-Hundred-Nine: Doubt.PAXTON has to visit Leviathan. His in-laws didn’t stop asking him to help or at least visit Leviathan to tell him that everything is fine. He has no choice but to do this although he doesn’t want to. He rolled his eyes when he saw Leviathan enter the room with a smirk on his lips. “What are you doing here?” he asked, raising his brow. “I didn’t expect you here.”“I didn’t expect that I will come here too. But your parents are insisting me to visit you. They can’t sleep thinking that you might end up living here for the rest of your life because of your hideous crime,” he replied.“Ah, you’re so talkative.” He tucked his finger on his ear then raised his brow. “So, what did they tell you?”“They want me to help you get out of this mess. I can’t do that, of course.”“You have the power to get me out of here, why don’t you just obey your in-laws?”“Why would I let you get out when I did my best to put you in there.”Leviathan’s jaw clenched upon hearing
Chapter One-Hundred-Ten: Empty.OLIVER was driving the car on the way to the cemetery where Lorelei was buried. Paxton leaned his back to the backrest and closed his eyes. He was thinking if what they were about to do was right. It isn’t what he wanted, but his curiosity is killing him.“If ever the casket was empty, do you think that your in-laws knew about it?” Oliver asked.For the nth time, he sighed. “There’s a possibility… but if it was really empty, I won’t tell them right away. I need to find Lorelei if she’s still alive…”Although he was hesitating about doing this, he couldn’t help but hope that the casket was really empty. He hoped that Lorelei was still alive and was just hidden out there.When they finally arrived at the back of the cemetery, they immediately saw Hiroshi and Ryker, waiting for them.“Why are we going to do this?” Ryker asked, yawning. “Do you really believe that crazy man?”“It isn’t a sin to believe, Ryker. Let’s just try,” Hiroshi replied. “Come on, the
