“YOUNG—”
Nicollo, one of August’s people, was about to greet him like how they greet him when they were at home, but suddenly remembered that no one could know about August being another adopted child. So, they couldn’t call him young master.
August suddenly shook his head. Nicollo suddenly understood what he wanted to say indirectly. He didn’t continue what he was going to say. Instead, he opened another topic.
“The master was looking for you.” Nicollo lied as he cleared his throat. “He personally asked me to fetch you.”
He did that because he saw that Bruce Sandoval was looking at their young master intently.
‘I couldn’t do something that would place th
MEANWHILE, as Bruce and Samantha went onto the Sandoval mansion, both of them immediately went into the bedroom with grimaces on their faces. Bruce let go of Samantha’s hand, and the latter couldn’t care less. Her mind was wandering on August’s existence and she didn’t even notice it anymore. “Hey, sister-in-law—” Daphne, who just walked onto the living room, waved her hand as she was about to greet Samantha… Only for Samantha to not greet her back, nor even take a glance at her. “Wow…” Daphne parted her lips in shock. When she moved her gaze to Bruce, she saw how his brows were furrowed, too. “You two had a love quarrel, didn't you?!” She added teasing them, but no on
BRUCE NODDED and stood up. Samantha immediately followed him as both of them sat on the bed. Fortunately, there weren't any pieces of glass on the bed since Bruce didn’t throw the vases in that direction.Silence filled their conversation as both of them tried to regain their composure. Bruce, for his uncontrollable anger, and Samantha, for her doubts and fear.“I’ll fucking destroy him and bury him deeper than hell,” Bruce mumbled before he stared intently at his fiance. He clenched his hands afterward. “Until he doesn’t have any pride to show his face anymore.”“Yeah. Let’s do that.” Samantha showed a weak smile as her hands went on Bruce’s, lightly caressing the back of his palm. &ld
“MRS. JOHENS.”“Yes?” Mrs. Johens, who was currently wiping the table as the two customers left for their seats when they finished eating, suddenly stopped what she was doing as she heard someone come."It's me," August answered as the smile never left his lips.He was glad to see Mrs. Johens again as both of them weren't able to see each other for a long time."Who?"Her head turned onto the man who called her, and a gasp escaped her lips, followed by her eyes widening as she saw August standing behind her.“August!”She left her chore, went quickly to the sink to wash her h
ON THE day where Mateo and August were sent to the clinic inside the Remington Mansion, Mateo was silently groaning while feeling the pain in his leg. It was painful that it almost went numb.“The young mistress is really something,” he heard Maxine mumble and let out a chuckle as someone lay Mateo on the white, small bed.However, August was sent inside another room. It was another room in the clinic room, and his eyes widened as his lips parted in shock as he saw that the room may look small on the outside, but exquisite on the inside.As he was only half-conscious, he couldn’t see who lay him down on the bed. A sigh of relief escaped his lips. His eyes were spinning and his breathing was ragged. Maxine went onto him as she was about to cure her, but he suddenly spoke.
WITHOUT a second thought, August immediately ran into the Mercedes-Benz and called Nicollo, who fortunately was standing near their car at that time.Nicollo was about to puff his electric cigarette, but he quickly placed it in his pocket when he saw how worried August’s expression was. Thinking that it might be about him getting caught puffing a cigarette during his break time, he bowed his head, ready to apologize.But August’s command snapped him out of his thoughts.“Accompany me to the same place today,” said August as he pulled the car door to the side. He didn’t even wait for Nicollo to do it. “The same place where we went earlier,” he added as he sat in the middle seat.His palms were accumulating sweat more than usual. H
AT EARLY dawn, August went into the parking lot of the hospital where Mrs. Johens was admitted earlier.He was with his bodyguards. All of them were attentive, especially Nicollo, whose hands were on his gun on his waist so he could pull it in any minute.No one could be uncomplacent when it comes to the young master’s safety. All of them thought that it could be a prank, a scam, or something that would place August in danger.However, August, as his emotions went onto him again, didn’t care as his curiosity filled his mind.“Are you August Fordman?”A young, petite nurse who was still wearing her uniform suddenly appeared in front of her. And she almost fainted when the bodyguards surrounded him, having their g
“HEY, AUGUST.” A man wearing an expensive white and blue checkered polo shirt and black pants greeted him. Even though it was late in the evening, that man even flexed his Ray-ban sunglasses at the top of his head— like he wanted August to realize how rich he was, and how different their worlds were. It’s no other than Bruce. August tried to maintain his composure, but the fact that Bruce even had the courage to go to the Remington Mansion just to see him— he couldn’t help but feel amused. That emotion was even visible in his eyes. “Long time no see, don’t you think?” Bruce asked in a sarcastic tone as he raised a brow, smirking. ‘His courage is something,’ August said
BRUCE snapped his neck before he turned his head to see who was the bastard who dared to stop him. He was ready to say curses and burst into anger— he was already mad because of August in the first place— but he stopped when he saw who it was.“Mr. C-Charles Remington,” Bruce mumbled with his voice cracking.He blinked his eyes twice, unable to believe the sight beside him. He only saw Charles on television before. It was really hard for families not in the top ten to see someone from a high-ranking family, but now, it was like a dream come true.‘This fucking pathetic commoner is also useful somehow!’ Bruce said at the back of his mind in ecstasy. ‘Father would be happy if I told him about this!’Jake Sandoval always wante
