Alberto had already downed five glasses of beer, but he hadn't yet mentioned the death of his son. To be honest, Andrew wasn't too concerned about that, especially since he already knew the story from the visions he had.

However, Alberto's pent-up sorrow made Andrew stop his hand as he reached for another gulp of beer.

"We came to listen to your grief, not just watch you chug down all this beer. Weren't you supposed to be in the process of cleansing yourself from toxic things?" Andrew asked.

Alberto looked at him, tears welling up in his eyes, and he sobbed while hiding his face behind his folded hands on the table.

"He... He died because of me! Bruno died because of my selfishness and not caring about him!" Alberto shouted, causing one of the patrons sitting nearby to raise an eyebrow at Andrew.

"Hey, calm down..." Andrew patted Alberto's shoulder, making the older man sit upright and face him.

"Yes, you're right. I find it hard to calm down when it comes to Bruno. I've been punishin

    The condition of the bar, which was increasingly crowded and filled with screams from several sad visitors, made Andrew quite depressed. His body was tired, he wanted to sleep immediately."Damn, how can I go home if Alberto has already joined the old men there. I want to sleep, should I just drag him away from this bar?” Andrew muttered.In the middle of his question, a middle-aged man appeared who had been watching him. A middle-aged man who was sitting not far from Andrew's position."Are you waiting for Alberto?" asked the middle-aged man."Yes. How do you know?" Andrew asked back with a confused face."I'm his old friend, I happened to be sitting near you all this time and saw how sadness still enveloped the old man. If you want to go home, please. Alberto, you don't need to wait, I'll be the one to take him later. Coincidentally, I was with my friend, our houses were in the same direction. I won't let him drive if he's drunk. He will stay at my house."Andrew did a quick check a

    The rumble in the sky and the sudden drizzle forced Andrew and Adelline to run a bit. Fortunately, Adelline's house was already in sight, ensuring they wouldn't get soaked if the rain poured down on the city.And indeed, just as their feet entered Adelline's yard, the rain came down heavily as if poured from an enormous bucket. "Wow, perfect timing, right when we're in front of your house," remarked Andrew."Yeah, it looks like you might have to stay overnight here. Where else would you go in such a heavy rain? At least, a cup of warm tea will calm you down. What do you say?" Adelline looked at Andrew with hopeful eyes, eager for him to accept her offer.Andrew took a deep breath, lifted both shoulders, and said, "I don't have a choice.""Come in!" Adelline cheerfully opened the door, and the two adults entered the gray-colored minimalist house.Andrew's eyes were immediately greeted by Adelline's family photos, and he was surprised to see the old man standing next to Adelline, the sa

    'I don't want her to leave. Please, help me, stop her, do anything to prevent her from going with that man. Or, just kill that man if it's possible!'"Hey, sorry for making you wait."Adelline's arrival made Andrew quickly close his phone and put it in his pants pocket. His heart was pounding fast because he had just sent a message signaling to kill the man who approached Ivanka.Although he had killed people many times, for Andrew, this was the first time he had given an order to Roger to take someone's life. Until now, the killings had occurred because he was busy protecting himself and fighting against evil people.And Andrew felt an extraordinary turmoil. He wondered if his order was right or wrong. He still worried about that."Ah, did you bring the tea? I didn't see you come out of the room. I mean, from the shape of the house and the part to the right of my current position, it seems like the way to the kitchen has to pass through this room. Am I the only one who didn't notice

    It's been twenty minutes since his conversation with Roger on the phone, but Andrew still hasn't decided whether to agree to Roger's proposed solution. His mind is still weighing the pros and cons.Moreover, his heart is in turmoil. So much so that he doesn't even notice Adelline chattering about her job as a massage therapist."So, what do you do for a living, Andrew?" Adelline asks with a wide smile, staring at Andrew with eager eyes awaiting his response.However, Andrew's response, frozen like a statue, makes Adelline slightly awkward. She then touches Andrew's arm gently while calling his name, "Andrew?"Andrew startles and turns to Adelline. He nods and says, "I need to make another call to my friend; wait a moment."The answer is already in Andrew's mind; he is ready to finalize the solution for his relationship with Ivanka. He looks at his phone showing Roger's number and name, takes a deep breath, and mutters, "Let's get started."The call connects instantly, and the voice on

    Three bowls of hot soup were served on the coffee table. The wall clock indicated 3 a.m. Andrew, Chick, and Adelline looked absorbed in slurping the steaming soup. “No way, I never expected this to be the best soup I've ever had in my life!” Andrew exclaimed, looking at Adelline. "You're amazing! I'm curious about your other recipes." "That's why you came to this city too soon. If you stayed a bit longer, you could have tasted many more of Adelline's dishes. She's amazing, she's my go-to chef," Chick quipped. Andrew redirected his gaze to Adelline, and the young girl shook her head, blushing. "But, from what I see in Adelline, she indeed has the aura of a great entrepreneur. It might sound strange, but I can read someone's character. Maybe it's because I've been in the business world for a long time. However, anyway you look at it, this is Adelline's life. Whatever choice she makes is surely the best for her," Andrew said. "Actually, I doubt that. Let me explain why she doesn't wa

    The sound from the television woke Andrew up; he had been sleeping in the spare room not far from Adelline's room. He got up from the bed and peeked through the door. "Adelline... she's not sleeping," Andrew said. He decided to join Adelline, seizing the opportunity to talk to her about the dispute at the dinner table. "You're not sleeping, Adelline?" Andrew stood behind Adelline, spreading a smile despite the lingering drowsiness in his eyes. "I should be asking you, why aren't you sleeping? Is the bed uncomfortable for you?" Andrew moved closer to the sofa, his eyes focused on the empty spot, and asked again, "May I sit next to you?" "Of course, go ahead." Adelline shifted her body to the edge of the sofa, her eyes still fixed on the television, not looking at Andrew. Sadness and disappointment radiated from Adelline's gaze, and Andrew observed it deeply, making Adelline uncomfortable under his constant gaze. "Why?" Adelline asked, "Is there something wrong with me?" "No, I'm

    Athena, Greece Three robust men in all-black attire were seen descending from an SUV parked in front of a five-star hotel. One of the men carried a suitcase matching the color of their clothes, and their tense expressions prompted whispers among the onlookers. Their broad strides brought them instantly to the elevator. Their powerful masculine charm, combined with well-defined chest and arm muscles, made people in front of the elevator step aside. Most of them were captivated women, while the rest were men feeling insecure after seeing the trio. "I never thought that since drinking Mr. Orlando's blood drops, the three of us have become genuinely powerful. I have never seen women look at me with such passionate eyes before," remarked one of the men. His two companions didn't respond to the statement. The elevator stopped on the 37th floor, and the three men swiftly exited the elevator, heading towards room number 777. The man carrying the suitcase led the way, knocking on the door

    "He... He died because of me! Bruno died because of my selfishness and not caring about him!" Alberto shouted, causing one of the patrons sitting nearby to raise an eyebrow at Andrew. "Hey, calm down..." Andrew patted Alberto's shoulder, making the older man sit upright and face him. "Yes, you're right. I find it hard to calm down when it comes to Bruno. I've been punishing myself for so long. I've never felt satisfied, I wanted to feel more tormented. I felt... I'm unworthy of living, I wanted to take his place. Bruno should have enjoyed his life; he shouldn't have died because of love; he shouldn't have died due to depression... It torments me." Andrew comforted Alberto, and in his visions, he saw that Bruno had a heated argument with Alberto. They were in a room that indicated the presence of a woman on a bed, her body covered with just a blanket. Of course, Alberto didn't wait long to gulp down the beer. Within moments, his tall glass

    Jerome hid under the blanket. What had happened to the three men earlier terrified him."Am I going to die? They definitely won't stay quiet; they'll come back," Jerome mumbled, clutching tightly to the edge of the blanket that covered his body.The sound of a knock on the door startled him, his heart seeming to leap out of his chest. Sweat, which had been absent, now surged all over his body, but the tension eased slightly when he heard his mother's voice."Jerome, are you home?" Meghan, his mother, called out.Jerome quickly hid the necklace he was wearing under his shirt and hurried to open the door for Meghan. His eyes narrowed as he glanced out the window, seeing a man kissing Meghan's neck affectionately."My son! Where have you been, sleeping?" Meghan asked with a broad smile."Who is this?" Jerome asked, looking at the man with jet-black hair who was now fondling Meghan's backside.Meghan pushed the man's hand away awkwardly and was about to answer her only child's question wh

    Tampa, January 11, 2024"Jerome, you idiot, can you stop blocking our way!"The shout came from a burly man wearing a black jacket. He was walking with two of his friends, pushing a thin man with curly hair named Jerome Hashford.Jerome, who had fallen, could only look gloomily at the three popular guys on his campus. He then got up and fixed his glasses that had fallen off."How long are you going to stay silent and let yourself be bullied? I'm tired of seeing you like this," said Hans, one of the other popular guys.Hans stood with his girlfriend Margareth, the woman Jerome adored. They both looked furious seeing the three bullies, who were now further away but still laughing."Thanks for the advice, Hans.""I'm not giving advice, Jerome. This is your third year here, and you still stay silent. I mean, why? What are you afraid of? Fight back! You're a man!"Jerome swallowed his saliva and just nodded, saying, "Yes, next time I will try to fight back. I have to go now; I don't want to

    The offer seemed reasonable to Calvin, and he handed his phone to Andrew, saying, "Fine! A simple thing that I can easily comply with. Now, make the call, Nania, execute your plan, and be prepared to lose your life if everything fails, Andrew!" "My heart is yours; shoot me if you want. You can sell all my organs on the black market. I'm sure you'll get many times richer because I'm a healthy person. No alcohol, no cigarettes, no drugs, and I don't have any family to look for me if I die. Fair enough, right? At least, your pain from my deception to your mistress can be healed." The nameless old man then nodded and said, "Deal, I agree to your offer! Please get my phone from the car; I left it in the bag under the driver's seat. Let's call Nania now."

    Two cold drinks were served on the table in a hospital cafeteria, where the middle-aged woman healed by Andrew was located.Andrew and the man named Stuart sat facing each other. Stuart appeared to be reading a presentation provided by Andrew on his phone."This is an excellent opportunity for me. I, who don't have a background in employment, chosen as a warehouse manager, amazing! I will definitely accept this offer, Sir! I won't waste this opportunity," Stuart exclaimed with sparkling eyes.Andrew raised an eyebrow. "Don't call me 'Sir'; I don't like it. And indeed, this is a great opportunity. You don't need to rent anymore; there's a small house within the vicinity of my company where you can stay. I'll also provide a car for your transportation and supply the groceries and essentials for the house."Stuart was stunned; he chuckled nervously before returning the phone to his hand. So embarrassed hearing what Andrew offered, Stuart ended up finishing his drink in front of him.Andr

    Andrew looked gloomy as he stared out of the car window on the way to Stanley's house, the owner of the subsidiary forcibly acquired by William. Roger, noticing Andrew's demeanor, nudged his arm and asked, "What are you thinking?" Andrew raised both eyebrows. "I don't know, just bored, spending time that feels quite monotonous. I'm curious about what made William love a life like this so much." "Money, power, and immortality, the three components always held by William," replied Roger. "Anyway, enjoy what's happening now. After talking to Stanley, let's find some pleasure at the bar." Andrew rolled his eyes and shook his head. "It's not a choice that will make me happy. You know, I--." Andrew's eyes were caught by an elderly woman holding her chest on the side of the road in front of a flower shop. Instantly, he tapped the driver's shoulder and asked to stop. "Why, Andrew?" Roger asked. Andrew didn't speak; when the car stopped, he got out and approached the old woman with white

    A group of paparazzi from various local media outlets were crowded in front of Daniella's company, which Andrew would reopen today. Whispers of admiration for the magnificence of this construction company could be heard. Some of them compared it to the grandeur of the late William's company. "It's only natural; she's William's child. It seems she intentionally made her parents' two companies similar!" one paparazzo remarked. From inside the company, Andrew could be seen smiling while puffing on a cigar. Every word from the paparazzi was clearly audible to him. "I wonder about Marcel's reaction. I want to see how annoyed he'll be when he sees this huge company rise again. I truly have become William, haven't I, Roger?" Andrew asked while looking at Roger beside him. "Literally, you are a replica of William. But, I guarantee your pleasure in having two giant companies under your leadership won't drive you to break the rules like William did before, right?" "There's a hint of trauma
