ANDREWLisa was a bit surprised. Since this was supposed to be only for family members which this person wasn't part of."Isn't that the guy you used to like?" Juliet quickly chimped in with a smile."I'm sure that you guys will be able to make something out together!" She added, making sure that these words were just between the both of them."Emphasis on the word 'used to," Lisa replied.Even though she used to like this person, he had stormed away from her life without even telling her, like she was some sort of nobody. Asking them to do something was not just out of it, but extremely impossible because she was obviously married. With a kid!She braised herself up quickly, putting up a composed look on her face. She wasn't going to allow herself to be tossed about by anyone just because they were richer than her husband.When they got down from the car, someone was now standing right next to Davis. The first Son-in-law of the family from the Guild family.He was known as the person
ANDREWThe patron was yet to arrive while the table was already fully set. Andrew sat with the rest of the family the only person that was even trying to make a conversation with him at the moment was Lisa.The other members of the family sat, throwing Lazer glares at Andrew from afar, their faces filled with obvious disdain."What's someone like him even doing here! The first family. They are supposed to lead this Great family but they are the ones that want to pull it down?" Another member of the family soon said."I know that they have been having a bad performance in the family lately so what are they planning to do! Make it the worse that it came to get?"Mr. Henry's head was bowed. Is hate and disgust for Andrew increasing with everyone second that went by."Guys guys!" Someone muttered from afar.The words were ones that were recognized by almost everyone to belong to Fred and their heads were already tilted in his direction as they rose from his seat."There is no need for us
ANDREW"Yeah Lisa! You should think about it! At least we will not be caught up with a worthless brother-in-law." Kevin muttered nonchalantly. A deadly glare was what he got instead from Lisa who flashed her eyes back to the rest of the family members."I would rather kiss a dog than have anything to do with him!" she spat."Then you should better start practicing!" Juliet was quick to refer.Lady Louisa and Fred engaged in a fierce stare-down, their eyes locked in a silent battle of wills. But finally, Lady Louisa's composure was broken, and she let out a forced cough, her face twisted in disdain. "To be a disadvantage to us twice!" she spat out, her words dripping with venom.The crowd immediately picked up on the subtle insult, and a wave of snickers and giggles swept through the hall. The murmurs grew louder, with people repeating the phrase and chuckling, until eventually, the room erupted into a fit of laughter.However, as quickly as it began, the laughter died down, and the h
ANDREWAndrew was still ignorant about what exactly was inside the package that had been given to him by Mr. Hills.The only reason that he had brought it over to that place was because there was no other hiding place that could keep it.He had already made sure that he watched properly before sneaking it under the table and he didn't think that anyone was going to find it until now."Shit!" He muttered under his breath."What's the wimp trying to do? Disgrace this family?" Henry also said under his breath. His mind was flooded with Henry's financial status. Whatever gift that he would be getting to the place, it was definitely going to be cheap on."Shit! Shit! Shit!" He kept on muttering.Even Fred was surprised but happy at the same time. It was going to provide him with even more license to mock the hell out of Andrew."What are you trying to hide Andrew! You are afraid that the cheapskate that you got would be a disgrace?""Nothing is too little dear! I am way too sure that the
ANDREWFor the first time, Lisa remembered that she was still angry over the fact that Andrew didn't come home early to join them together for the meeting.It was during the moment of her anger that the news about the sudden change of event had come up and she didn't inform Andrew about the new place that had miraculously been provided.'How was Andrew then able to find us here?' She thought for the first time."And we should give honor to those whom honor is due. Let's thank Fred for helping us with the new place and the design in a manner that even I cannot comprehend. Even though he had decided to remain anonymous!"After the new place had been given to them, Patron Bel had thought about the only person that would have been able to help..The exact location that they were in at the moment was known as the presidential suite. Apart from the huge amount of money that would have been needed to rent the place, not to talk about putting it in order, it was even more difficult to even ge
ANDREW Patron Bel's eyes sparkled as he spanked the bottles with his hands like a little child, filled with excitement. Everyone was confused. That was Andrew's piece of trash. Shouldn't the patron be angry instead of excited? "Honey! Why are you so happy about that rusty wine?" The Patron's wife inquired. Anger that could not be compared to anything that anyone in that hall had seen before, even for Mr. Henry's family and Andrew suddenly flashed in his eyes. The anger felt was directed towards his clutch hands, only then could he reply properly. But not without a sprinkle of his fury. "You called this a piece of trash?" He fummed. "The first time that I saw this one was when I was a child. I was a freaking seven years old woman and my father had taken me to see some other Patrons. One of them had smuggled this same bottle of wine costing over a billion dollars at the time. And everyone that was present only got a glass of it!" As patron Bel recounted his story, it was
ANDREW While Andrew walked out from the place, he brought out his cell phone that had been saddled in his pockets. They could hear the message beeps and the vibrating calls but he didn't dare to take it out, for the respect that he had for the people that showed him no respect at all. [ Good day sir! If you are free, I would love to schedule a meeting with you! ] A message from Mr. Patrick read. [ Send me the address for the meeting, I'm free ] Andrew replied. The message had been sent for about a minute. The only thing that he needed to do was wait for a reply from the other end However, the only reply that he got was a car honking at him right from behind. He turned around and met with a BMW car. 00Lp Thought of the driver having missed his way or PPPuuñ0pKklwanting to ask for directions in a place that he knew nothing about sprang up in Andrew's mind.. But that was until a young suited man stepped out from the car with a quick bow. "Young master!" He didn't dare
ANDREW Everyone turned their head swiftly towards the motion of this sudden distraction. It was the first time that it was happening in the course of such a meeting that the Patron had been distracted. However, Fred sitting down could not hold his cool anymore. The raging heat that was burning in him. He felt like he was the one that was entitled to this. He had already worked so hard for it. Spending his money and his resources. Not forgetting what he stands to gain after killing… The thoughts snapped out of his head. It wasn't time for that just yet… "Should there be a problem?" Patron Bel inquired. "I just want to bring it to your notice that we all know the person that is being referred to here. It's Andrew of all people and there's no way that he would be able to afford such!" He noted. "I don't think that he should be given such a privilege for committing an illegal act. What if the police come after him. The name of this family will certainly be strained." He noted
The gates to the dungeon were opened up immediately, and Diego made his way into the dungeon, the man trailing behind him. "I have no idea how you got out of the dungeon, but get prepared to meet your end!" Diego said as a smile played across his face. Andrew struggled to get up from the floor but fell back onto the floor, his knees giving up under him. Blood was sprawling from every part of his face; some got into his eyes, blinding him from seeing who was in front of him. "You!" Andrew pointed wearily at Diego, "I'm so.... going to...kill you!" Diego let out a dangerous laugh that only lasted for a brief moment. "I'd like to see you try!" Diego let out in mockery and stretched forth his hand at Andrew. All of a sudden, Andrew felt himself being lifted off the floor by a strange force. "Now I'm going to show you the true taste of power!" Diego said with a smirk on his face. Andrew was already feet above the floor. He was flaring his arms and legs in the air, shouting at the t
—Get ready for your ultimate task, master— Valkyron's electronic voice boomed; this time, itsscreen was not hovering in front of Andrew and emanating a blue light as usual.. Instead it was iitsovoicethat was resounding from every angle. "What do you mean, Valkyron ,and how....how did i get here?"Andrew asked as he turned around, trying to make out where he was. This did not look like any of the rooms in Andrew's mansion; it looked more like he was in a desert, and he wondered how he had gotten there. He could hear multiple voices around him as if he was standing in front of a crowd that was waiting for him to perform, but he couldn't see anyone around him even when he looked into the distance. He tried to pinch himself to be sure that this was not a dream—it wasn't. —Focus, master. Now that your parents are awake, you have unlocked the second phase of your mission, which begins now, the ultimate test that you're about to face will determine if you're worthy of your powers and all
A few weeks later, Andrew's parents were well enough to be discharged from the hospital, and Andrew could not have been more glad. He threw a party on their return—the party only included himself, his parents, his immediate family, the house workers, and Pa Jones. Since he had not yet revealed himself to the others; his friends, and office workers about his return, no one esle had been invited to the party. Andrew felt his life was complete again; he was almost the richest man in the country, and his parents, who he thought had died, were alive and well. It was a swell moment for him. Lisa was the one who was growing increasingly worried that Andrew was now staying back from the office and avoiding contact with everyone else. Poor Patrick had been to the house several times to check up on her. Lisa couldn't tell why, but Andrew had instructed that she should not let him know that Andrew had returned, and each time Patrick left the house with a sad look on his face, she would ask A
Andrew had failed to recover his car from the ice cream shop. He Would have taken up the issue concerning his stolen car, but the car was the least of his problems now, and he had all the money to replace the car he needed. He was more concerned for his parents' health than anything else. He was glad that Lisa had patiently listened to him when he took his time to explain That people were onto him, And they would stop at nothing to make sure that, they saw Andrew suffer, and she had to be grateful that he had found their daughter and rescued her just in time before those men got away. He hadn't given her the full details of the story, just the necessary parts, and debunked every other thing that Dora had said. When Lisa confronted him about what Dora had said about him having superpowers, he laughed about it, making the laugh so real, and deep down, he was only passing time and thinking of what to say that would sound convincing enough. "Would you believe that?!" Andrew said after
Emilia ran her eyes over both men before she responded. "Yes, Diego is in, and do you wish to see him?!" Emilia asked back. "No, no, I do not want to see Diego; I was just making sure.""Okay but who are you two?!" Emilia asked them with question gazes. "Um, my name is Reginald, and I know that I can confide in you, Emilia. So please tell me, Is Mr Genius here?!"Emilia continued to stare at both of them for a while before she responded. "I don't think there's anyone that bears that name in this place. " She said plainly. "Is there anyone who bears Mr Andrew here?!" Reginald asked, rephrasing his sentence. Emilia tried to hide the look that she had made when Reginald mentioned Andrew's name. "No, there's no one that bears that name here either!" She said promptly and tried to dismiss both of them. "I think you too should leave now or haven't I answered all your questions?!""Please do not raise your voice, Emelia!" Reginald pleaded as he looked around, hoping that they would no
Andrew was already making arrangements to get his parents moved to a better hospital that was just a minute's drive away from his house, and in no time, parents had been transferred, all thanks to Pa Jones help, who had assisted in filling out all the paperwork that was necessary for making the transfer. Andrew had made sure that he had sorted out all the hospital bills where his parents had been and thanked them heartily before leaving. It was not until dusk when his parents had been settled into the new hospital before Andrew remembered that he had not yet retrieved his car from the ice cream shop. "Darn it! How can I be this forgetful these days?" Andrew lamented to himself. He knew going back to get the car would be a lost cause because already the car would have been stolen because he had kept the key to the car carelessly for any lucky thief to find. "What's the matter young chap?" Pa Jones, who had noticed the change in Andrew, could not help himself but ask. "My car. I w
"This way, we have to hide before anyone sees us!" Reginald said, searching for a Place that they could both hide. Rolling out of the building was not an option now As they were a long distance away from the door. "I thought you said that only the front passage is used for entry and exit, so why is it that someone is coming now that we are making our way in?" Patrick asked angrily. "There's no time to ask silly questions but just follow me so that we can hide from whoever is coming!" Reginald held back from yelling at Patrick. Patrick gritted his teeth in anger but had no other choice than to follow Reginald into hiding. They found the perfect spot behind one of the doors that they could hide from whoever was approaching. Reginald crossed his fingers and shot his eyes tightly as he prayed that Diego was not the one approaching the passageway Because if it was, it would not take a minute or two for Diego to sniff out strangers in his building. Patrick was about to say something w
"Look, the reason why I do not want to go in there is because I'm not on good terms with Diego." Reginald tried to explain to Patrick that every other thing that he had said to make Patrick give the document back to him had fallen by the side of Patrick's ears. "That's a lie, Reginald, and I am not going to fall for your lies anymore.""Believe me, and it would not even make sense if I should just go to the door, knock on me,t, and ask Diego to release Mr genius; it doesn't work that way,,y does it?!" Reginald asked Rhetorically. "That is why we are going to break him out, and I am not giving these documents back to you unless you help me!" Patrick affirmed. "Shit!" Reginald cursed under his breath. "This was not part of the agreement, boss.""Well, it is now!" Patrick stated. "Now come on let's go. How do we get in without being spotted by anyone especially not by Diego?""That's not any of my business, bosses. Now. Give me back the document and let me be on my way; I told you to
Andrew didn't realize how much he hated Hospitals until he walked into the place. "Man, this place reeks, is this really where my parents were Kept?!" Andrew asked the old man in displeasure. "Yes, this is the place, and why are you holding onto your nostrils like that, lad?" The old man asked when he looked up and noticed Andrew's fingers were still clenched onto his nose tightly. "I do not like the smell of this place" Andrew replied him. "Well, you better start getting used to it because we're going to be in here for a while." The old man informed him. Andrew suddenly stopped in his tracks as if remembering something. The old man noticed this and turned around to meet Andrew's gaze. "What's the matter, lad? You're tired already?!" "No, I'm not tired; I just have this weird feeling...I can't wait to see my parents.....""Well, that's where we are headed for now. We're almost there, we're just three rooms away. " The old man informed Andrew, pointing toward what seemed to be t
