As the tension between Kraig and Wesley escalated, Kraig said, "Do whatever you want, Wesley. But tell me, why are you here in Korea? To visit a sick grandfather, or are you trying to claim an inheritance that isn't rightfully yours?"

Wesley, unfazed by Kraig's direct questioning, leaned back, swirling the contents of his glass. With a sly smile, he responded, "Oh, Kraig, you're always full of surprises. As for my reasons, let's just say they're personal."

Kraig, growing increasingly frustrated, couldn't decipher Wesley's motives.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the two men, Carolene had been discreetly eavesdropping on their conversation. Offended by Wesley's vague response, she decided it was time to shut him up.

Walking closer to Wesley with a stern expression, Carolene confronted him. "Wesley, your words are disrespectful. This is not a game, and the DeVille estate is not a playground for your amusement."

Wesley, seemingly amused by Carolene's assertiveness, chuckled. "Ah, Carolene

    At school, amidst the hustle and bustle, Jade mustered the courage to approach Kraig. However, her attempts to engage him were met with silence, as Kraig remained focused on his path. Undeterred, Jade quickened her pace, running to catch up with him. "Kraig! Wait!" she exclaimed, hoping to grab his attention. Kraig, unyielding, finally turned to face her, his expression stern. "Jade, I told you to leave me alone." Ignoring his request, Jade took a deep breath and said, "I need your attention, Kraig. It's important." Kraig, skeptical but willing to hear her out, sighed. "Fine, what do you want?" Jade hesitated for a moment before blurting out, "Do you really know the DeVilles?" Kraig raised an eyebrow, curious about her sudden interest. "What's it to you? Is this about the heir?" Jade, caught off guard by the directness of his question, stammered, "Well, I... I just need to know." Unmoved, Kraig began to walk away, dismissing her inquiry. "I don't have time for this." Desperati

    “You can’t just leave, Jade” Juan called out to Jade’s retreating form. “I can do whatever I like,” Jade said without remorse. Juan was stranded, he couldn’t lose his money and lose Jade, she was one of the people in his life that he would do anything to keep in his existence. It was just a bump and he had already told her that he was going to do something about it, he didn’t get why she was behaving this way when he was certain that this wasn’t going to last long. “Get your acts together, Juan” Jade said “I won’t be here to help you up” She rolled her eyes and left me to my thoughts. This wasn’t what he wanted for now, he couldn’t get her to come back because he didn’t want to force her to be with him Deville was going to pay for this, They were going to pay for me being in this condition. They shouldn’t have done what they did to me. At Wynn house… Camille could hear noise from the gate, She stood up and went towards the door because she wanted to know what was happening. “

    Kraig arrived with the officers, it was a two-way path, they needed to divide themselves so they could get to the bottom of this... They were here and it was best they did what they came here for so they could find Wynn, He didn’t have all the time to waste. “What are you doing here” Kraig asked Wesley. He was here, he didn’t want him to be here but he wanted to find out who told him they were here and why he was pretending to be involved with what was happening here. “The same Reason you are here, Kraig,” He said looking at me like he couldn’t wait for me to get out of the road. “Will you move?”Wesley asked. “No, You have to go,” Kraig said fuming. He couldn’t be here, he hated Wesley guts and the fact that he wasn’t a good person, they had never been friends and they won’t be friends, he was very sure of that “Please go away, I don’t want to cause a scene” Wesley was moving closer to Kraig and he shoved him away. Wesley was walking towards the officer and there was nothing K

    One of the police officers frowned. He couldn't sit back and watch them do something that was against protocol. He understood her reason for wanting to leave, but there were instructions that they needed to follow. "I'm sorry, but I cannot let you go just like that," he summoned up the courage to say. Wesley turned around, with an air of authority and malice. He frowned, looking at the officer like he was above the law and the officer was nothing but a mere pebble. "What did you just say?" he asked. The officer swallowed; he recognized the frost that just took over his expression but he needed to voice out what was needed: "If she doesn't want the paramedics to carry out a proper checkup, then she has to go to the hospital." "But I don't," Wynn's small voice came in as she leaned closer to Wesley. Wesley frowned, "she said she doesn't, then what should she do?" he asked angrily. "She can ride with you," the officer suggested. "The report from the hospital needs to be at the pre

    The sunlight poured into the room. It was warm against the skin, the perfect morning sun. Its only flaw was that the light was a little blinding, so when Kraig stirred in his sleep and turned his head to face the window, his features were decorated and blessed with the alluring light from the sun, making his beauty more captivating than it already was. Making him flutter his eyes open. He was immediately almost blinded by how bright the sun was shining. He removed his face from that direction and buried it in his bed as he tried to recover from the abruptness and also adjust his eyes to fit the brightness of the sunlight. When he figured he had had enough resting, he turned his head to the side that was adjacent to the window. He was immediately struck by lightning when he saw who it was that laid beside him. Blonde hair, fair white skin, long eyelashes, and a small frame. Kraig jumped from the bed, but his bare body was immediately slapped by the morning wind. He felt the breeze

    Everybody watched how the bouquet went from Wesley's hand to Wynn's own. As her fingers wrapped themselves around the bouquet, Wynn felt the rush of pleasure, the satisfying feeling of having won a competition. She felt like she was walking on staes. Excitedly, she giggled, her eyes meeting Wesley's own in adoration and affection. "I was worried about you, so I decided to come see you. I couldn't stop thinking about you," Wesley added to his gesture. Wynn was swooned; she hopped to her feet and jumped on him, giving him a tight hug, feeling every cotton used to make his outfit as she hugged him dearly, as if she was clinging to life. He also reciprocated such. He hugged her just the same, holding her the way he knew she would like to be held. Jade and Kraig were the only ones not smiling about this scene playing out. Kraig had an unreadable expression on his face, and Jade was frowning. They were both filled with animosity while they watched the couple. Kraig was better than Jade

    During the shopping spree, Kraig couldn't focus on what she was picking, on their conversation, on anything entirely. He was mainly focused on the realization that just dawned on him regarding his feelings for her. He had always known that she had a special place in his heart; he thought that there was just pure friendship, worry, affection, and platonic love. But, this sudden realization frightened him. He was not the man that she needed; he was not the man that could offer her anything. These would be her thoughts, these would be her reasons for not even thinking, of not even entertaining the idea that they could be together because to her, Kraig was just a worthless driver with no real income. She needed someone to help her company, someone to provide her family with wealth, someone who would be able to rescue her family, and although he was capable of doing that, it was just that he wasn't really out to the public as the real heir; to them, he was just a driver, and he even does

    As they made their way out of the room and into the garden, a sense of relief washed over them. The remaining children were gathered with Howie and Wynn, along with one of the more caring nurses who had always looked out for the kids. Madam Zury's gaze shifted to the children, and she paused in her steps. Her heart ached at the sight of the young faces, their eyes filled with confusion and concern. She turned to Kraig, her voice wavering with worry, "Kraig, my dear, I can't leave them behind. How will we survive, and where would we they go?" Kraig gazed at the children, realizing that there were about 14 of them, ranging in age from 6 to 10. He gently placed a hand on Madam Zury's shoulder and assured her, "I'll find a way, Madam Zury. You all won't be stranded. But for now, let's focus on getting you to a hospital." Madam Zury let out a soft, melancholic laugh. "Oh, Kraig, you're a good-hearted boy, but don't burden yourself with this. Concentrate on your studies. You have a

    Juan had definitely had enough of bickering with Jade. He didn't get the whole idea surrounding her relationship with Carolene; if she liked girls, then she did. What was the whole deal?He looked around the room for a while, tired of looking at the blonde, tired of seeing her face and hearing her voice. He had come here for the specific reason of trying to recall how his life used to be so uncomplicated with her. And well, he recalled because entering here, he realized that he was small and minuscule in her life and as a result, insignificant and uncomplicated.Juan waved his hand at her, "just forget everything and just come out if you will.""Are you going to keep it a secret?" Jade asked again."If I'm asked, I will tell, if I'm not, then surely won't go spreading shit about you to who doesn't even want to listen," he said. "I think your biggest issue should be getting yourself better and getting out of this hellhole." He looked around again as if he had reached a new height of di

    Daniel felt so frustrated; he didn't know what to say or even how to say whatever would come to his head. He wasn't in any way pleased with what he had just heard. And although he had no say in matters like this, his disgust was apparent.Kraig took in a deep breath, "I know you guys obviously hate that you're listening to this, and you feel that I am stupid." He sighed, "maybe I am stupid. I knew she is a criminal, but I still indulged; I still blurred the lines and just delved into this, and I'm coming to you with excuses such as these."Christian shook his head, "you've never been one to hang onto what has already happened. The whole thing has played out already, and instead of biting our fingers and wishing things were different, we would just be wasting our time.""So what do you propose we do?" Jraug inquired, seeing as one of them was not going to stay on the fact that he had been foolish."Well, I think you taking the initiative, regardless of your feelings for her, to inform

    Jade paced around the room. Trying to reason with someone as simple-minded as Juan was proved to be anything but simple. She wanted to explain to him that if he did not change his statement or even pretend to be on her side at this moment, he was risking his head.She didn't know the abilities of Carolene, but surely, silencing a man so small, a man so insignificant would not be such a hard thing to do.However, she couldn't. There was a front that she was putting up for the world; Carolene was appearing as a weakling, a stupid blonde who did nothing but get pregnant for the most important man in the business world.But she was more than that. What she was was actually complicated, something that Jade couldn't guess but rather had an idea for. She was more complex than any of those men or women that would say a thing or two about her.And even this man in front of her had no idea who Carolene was, and that was why his request did not drift from a threesome.What the heck was even wron

    Daniel took two steps forward. Though such a small number of steps should not possess the ability to completely obliterate the distance between them, but his strides were the guilty party.With just two steps, he now stood right beside Fabio as he peered into the evidence bag to scrutinize clearly the bullet kept within.Fabio was made cognizant of the imaginary distance between them. He felt Daniel's breath on his neck; he could smell the overpowering cologne, the aura of his being. Everything was too much for him; he had no choice but to take a step away from him.Daniel raised an eyebrow, "what is it?"Fabio rubbed his neck, trying to smoothen out the goosebumps that showed up on his skin, trying to rub away his presence away from him."If you want to look at it, here," he tossed it to him and then turned towards the funeral home where Wesley and his mother were still hiding.As Fabio approached, he saw that an older woman was placed on a stretcher and was being pushed towards the

    Tabitha's heart raced violently in her chest. The anger that suddenly arose within her obviously had no recipient. If it was any other day, she could probably rant to Carolene, but the woman in front of her, sitting with a wrinkle between her eyebrows and a tired expression mixed with her livid one, surely wasn't in the mood to hear her bullshit.She cleared her throat and tried to work her way around her emotions, to be careful not to let Carolene's rage come upon her and to not let hers find comfort in Carolene.Tabitha bit her bottom lip until she drew blood. It was the best way to keep her lips shut. Her anger was nowhere near what Carolene would do to her if she spoke out of turn."Juan?"Carolene nodded her head, her fingers twirled in her hair as an exasperated sigh left her mouth."I have more reasons to kill him now." Their eyes met, "you were the one who wanted to keep him alive, why?"Tabitha immediately pulled her eyes away, bringing them beneath, showing the authority Car

    Kraig took a step forward, the distance between him and Patricia only the space of two fingers. "I don't know why you are being like this," he said coldly and in utter disrespect. "I am the heir, I am the son of your nephew, and I apologize for the patriarchy, but I wasn't the one who made the rules.""And in addition, we have our own company we manage. Uncle had been quite understanding of how unfavorable the system is, and he gave us a company," Wesley said.Kraig raised an eyebrow in surprise, "so you have your own company, then what is your problem with me?""You own everything; you men took everything," she cried out. "I don't like this, I don't want this."Tabitha stood on the side, watching everything. She noted that surely it was because of the woman's age that was making her cranky and not just that; she might have some sort of disorder.When they first met, the woman had never really liked her, nor even tried to hide her disgust and hate. But as she thought, it could be beca

    Leah woke up in the small room she had been waking up in for over a week. She could recall how she had gotten out of prison, but no matter how many times she thought about it, it just didn't make sense to her.The woman arrived at the cell with the keys that would free her, and then the two of them just walked out. There were people there, officers everywhere like a pandemic, but she just waltzed through the crowd like it was nothing, like they were all beneath her.And from what Leah had seen with her eyes. They were really beneath her.She jumped off the bed and checked the time on the small black alarm clock resting on the nightstand. It was over three in the afternoon. She was lucky.She had been given her own space where she would just exist. She had no idea what her role here was, but she assumed that it had something to do with the baby in her womb because they were always giving her food for two people and as such, she had added a lot of weight.She was still tall and slim and

    Different exotic cars were parked in front of the simple funeral home. There were people coming from all directions with one aim in their hearts: to get to the funeral of Petrus DeVille. Although it was considered a tragic event, there were still reporters lined up across the place just so they could get an overview of what was going on in that small, cheap-looking funeral home.Kraig stood by the door as he welcomed people; some he recognized, but many were a mystery to him. He had a frown on his face, which should match the ceremony, but his frown had not generated from sadness but rather frustration.The last place he wanted to be caught in was standing by the door and addressing the people coming in and out. His grandfather did not deserve it.The noise reporters kept making and the noise from the funeral home joined together, giving Kraig a severe headache.
