Of course everybody would turn to look. The person at the door was the newly announced heir od the DeVille empire.

A man as handsome as he is, dressed immaculately well, groomed to perfection and had a very distinct voice.

Women, girls and even some men squealed as he made his way into the supermarket.

Kraig however, had only one thing in his focus, he walked past the line and heades to meet Wynn who was standing on the other side.

"Wynn," he called again.

This wasn't a grand gesture, neither was it alike to some romantic scene in movies, but Wynn's heart juat continued to flutter as if he was begging her to marry him. As if he had caome on a stallion and a sword to save her from yhe dragon.

Or maybe it was because he had been on her mind for days on end. He had been dancing, running, skipping through her thoughts. From the morning she wakes, to the evening she lays her hwas sown to rest and even in her dreams.

Looking at him, right now, Wynn somehow felt very lucky.

    Carolene took in a deep breath. It was as if all she needed to hear were those words from Kraig. She didn't need any further explanation. He didn't even bother tonask her how she had found out about that but instead went straight to the truth. The truth that she could not change even if she wanted to. Carolene didn't say anything else, she walked to the door and just held it open for him. Kraig scoffed and equally walked out of her room. But when he got to the door, he stopped; "let's not get married anymore. Since you already know what's in my heart, wouldn't it be improper to get married?" Carolene slammed the door, having no regard whether the door hit him or not. Well, there was only one thing she could think about: Wesley was dead. Wow! Seeing that Kraig had taken to try to speak with Carolene, Jade decided to continue with her new found plan and turned to the staircase, but before she could climb, Kyle held her back. "What the hell do you want from me?" She furrowed h

    Fabio was loudly slurping from the Chinese takeouts he ordered. He had spent the whole day in his car and although it wasn't dark out yet, he didn't plan to leave. His car was still parked across the street in front of Juan's company. There was a camera sitting on the passenger seat along with the other wraps of takeouts he had ordered. There was also a pair of binoculars sitting there. Though he was eating, his head was turned towards Juan's company as he watched every single person go in and out. Every face that showed up at that company held a place in his camera, but he continued to watch for any new faces. Like Ramos. When Ramos showed up, he made sure that he got the face captured, though it was a hard fit, seeng that the vehicle Ramos had drove there in was a very suspecting van which had been taller than him. Fabio wasn't really pleased with the pictures he took, but he planned on taking more. Luckily for him, the second Ramos had alighted from the van, it sped off.

    Juan paced around his office over and over again. He couldn't stop thinking about what Ramos said. He was greatly unsettled, there were a lot of things that could go wrong. For one, he was told of that detective who arrested his father, detective Fabio, was it? The man was on his tail, said to be good at what he does. Said to be the best in his department and knows exactly how to do his job. If it wss before, he wouldn't hsve had anything to worry about, but now, he did. He had a lot to worry about seeing as now he was guilty of what he was accused of. It was quite funny, yesterday he was innocent and today he has become guilty. He wondered what his father woukd think about it. But wasn't it all for a good cause? No. Of course his father wouldn't buy into that. He had a reputation of being a honest business man, but surely there was no way that even the biggest company did not have some ties to the illegal world. It was impossible. He had so much to lose if he refused to do

    Though Fabio was already driving away, Kraig still stood there just watching. He was thinking about what Fabio had just said. To be precise, the question he had been asked: why was he doing this? He felt that if he didnt guve Fabio an answer soon, he might ask again. And then aks again and ask maybe for the last tine before he cuts whatever deal they had made. He was a cop afterall, finding out about the things Kraig himself would dind out was a very small thing you do. So why was he doing this? He couldn't lie, from how his heart turned when he saw Wynn in that car with Juan, he knew this need was birthed from jealousy. And also, one xan throw in the fact that Juan had never been particularly nice to him. He always tries to make fun of him, to degrade him. To ridicule him, make him look so fucking small. And then, aren't business owners supposed t terminate their competition? That was no doubt what he was turning out to be: his competition. And if he were to find out anything

    After cominh back from the hospital, Carolene's very rare face was finally seen during breakfast, jade couldn't stop herself from sneaking glances at her. It amused her seeing that she could still hold her head high when she knew for a certain that she was not getting married to Kraig. It was a very shameless act to Jade. "So, now that's they're not getting married, whats the need to stay in the house?" Carolene froze. She had been bringing a spoon full of oatmeal to hr mouth, but hearing from jade made her pause. She dropped her spoon and stared deadly into jade's eyes. "She's still pregnant with my baby, jsnt that reason enough for her to stay here?" Kraig asked, obviously displeased about what jade had said. "And moreover, the person that doesn't have a reason staying here is you. Your husband is dead now, isn't jt your cue yet?" Kyle shot at her, "and isn't your house ready yet?" This was not how jade had rhought thw conversation would turn. She felt attacked with those wor

    Kraig leans into the leather seat of his car bringing about a sound of contact. He was holding a large unopened envelope, the sunlight poured into hjs car, shedding light precisely only on the envelope, as if knowing that at the moment, it was the most important thing. He frowned at how bright the sun was and how he was expected to open this file when hjs family was complete. It contained the DNA test results. This woukd be able to tell him if Wesley that died had been his real family or not. He was fucking curios, even running out of the office when he got the call, disregarding the meeting he had with his staff. He sighed out loudly before looking around the parking lot, he only browsed with his eyes before he drove away. Straight to his house. He informed them when he received a call from the hospital snd also did the same thing when the envelope was in his hands. As he drove through the gate, all he exoected to see was his grandfather, the second Wesley and maybe Jade. It

    Daniel and Christian had been invited to the DeVille's house for breakfast. They had been quite surprised when the invite came to them through a message from Fabio. Daniel was very reluctant, having intimate relationships with a family under investigation was a no go for him. He didn't want to be clouded by his emotions other than logical facts. And damn, that family was filled with good looking people. From the women and even to the men. And his very bisexual self cannot deal with such. Maybe that was the real reason he was avoiding that family. On the other hand, his partner and best friends were stoked to be invited to breakfast. They were anticipating the whole deal and even got themselves nice outfits for the very simple occasion. Daniel felt they were obviously doing too much. "Why do you think the suddenly invited us?" Daniel asked from the driver's seat as he started the car. Christian was beside him on the passenger seat and Fabio was at the backseat. They were glued

    After texting Kraig all night and the first thing in the morning, Wynn had felt the pressing feeling of fatigue. She was unable to get up from her bed to perform simple tasks, and neither could she even attempt to indulge in the daily necessities, like taking a bath and brushing her teeth. A knock came from her door. "Come in!" She yelled from her bed. The door opened slowly as if the person turning the doorknob was unsure or terrified. It amused Wynn, for a moment she hoped the person was Kraig. But then Leah appeared. Her smile dropped. However, Leah's smile arose, quite widely at that. Not only was she smiling, she also giggled, "hi, I'm so sorry". As she walked to the bed, she was accompanied by the pungent smell of alcohol. Wynn scrunched her nose and looked away. This explained a lot. Wynn sat up on her bed, resting against the headboard as she watched her step sister walk to the edge on her bed in very confusing steps. Wynn's eyes did not leave her even for a split s

    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. He hated being there; he hated that he had to be the one welcoming people.His eyes went down to his black suit and ran his

She paced around the room, unabke to settle, unable to sit still and carefully align her thoughts abd how she was feeling.
