Dario woke up in a large room, bright rays pierced through his eyelids, prompting him to reflexively shut his eyes and raise his hand against the sudden intrusion of light. He realized it was already morning.He immediately jerked up from the bed after realizing he didn’t know where he was or how he got there. After so much thought and headaches, he remembered he was kidnapped on his way to the hospital.‘The money!’ Dario’s heart started racing when he remembered.He searched his pockets and found the money. This took him by surprise because how come his captors didn’t take the money? Also, where are they?All he could hear were footsteps from outside the door. He was already trying to figure out an escape plan and find an escape route when the huge door swung open. “Good morning, young master. I trust you slept well?

“Reynolds?”The last time Dario checked, he bore Dario Esterno. “I think you have the wrong person,” Dario said. “I’m Dario Esterno.”“My lady, Maria must have made you answer her surname all these years,” Bruce heaved a sigh. “Young master, I’m Bruce, your late father’s butler.”“Welcome home, young master Reynolds!”Dario didn’t understand what the old man was saying, how did he know his mother? And what does he mean by ‘your late father’. It’s true Dario grew up without knowing his father and Maria never told him about his father either. Everytime Dario brought it up, he noticed it always made her hurt and she didn’t want to talk about him so Dario stopped asking.The old man noticed the confusion in Dario’s face and led him to a chair before sitting opposite him.“You must have been perplexed when you found yourself here this morning, I had to bring you here like that because you might not accept coming here willingly, considering what Lord Reynold made you and Maria go through.”

Dario took a cab to Kejar hospital to check how Maria was doing. On his way, as he thought about how his life had turned around in a twinkle of an eye, smiling ear to ear and how he couldn’t wait to tell his wife, Delilah, about the news. He can now buy her all the luxury items she’s always wanted. He was smiling brightly anticipating this happy moment with Delilah. However, the thought only lasted a few seconds before he remembered what happened at the villa last night. Delilah is no longer his wife. His heart sank when he remembered. It was like an arrow physically pierced through his heart. Whenever he got good news, maybe a new job or any good news at all, Delilah was always the first person he wanted to tell.

He would have shared the good news with Maria, but she’s unconscious in the hospital. Dario was lost in

“Good day, I’m the guardian for Maria Esterno. I was told she was transferred here early this morning,” Dario informed the nurses at the reception at Kejar hospital.“You must be Dario. Please, come with me.”When Dario got to Maria’s ward, it was a private ward and she was on a huge hospital bed. The room was very spacious, had a flat screen T.V and a coffee table. It also had large windows that allowed natural light to flood room. He could tell this was the VIP suite of the hospital.Looking at Maria, Dario let out a sigh of relief. She was looking better than he last saw her. Maria was diagnosed with low blood pressure a few years ago, but they couldn’t afford the treatment so it only got worse over the years.Her skin was no longer pale which signified that the blood flow to her skin has increased so her blood pressure was improving.Dario sat beside unconscious Maria and had a little chat with her.“….I can’t wait for you to wake up to give you all the juicy details.”“I love yo

“Young master, I am deeply sorry!” Bruce said, bowing deeply to Dario.‘Who could be after my life? Could it be the thugs?’‘No.’ Dario shook his head against the thought. Those men didn’t seem like thug material, they were uniformed and heavily armed. Dario had a feeling they were sent by someone powerful and influential. Someone that could afford them and those guns.But why would someone like that want him dead?“From your description of the men, only one person comes to my mind,” Bruce interrupted Dario’s thought flow. “They must be from empress Elizabeth”“Who is Empress Elizabeth??”“Young master, please forgive me for not informing you ahead. She is Lord Reynolds’ ruthless older sister. Only she knows about your inheritance and she definitely knows we’ve found you.”“Why does she want me dead then?”“Though she rules the mighty Beth empire, she wanted the Persian empire for herself after her brother died.”Elizabeth was very sure that she’d inherit the Persian empire and everyt
