“It’s not him. It’s you.”As Damian said those words, it was followed by the host speaking inside the function hall.“The charity gala has officially ended. Thank you for coming, everyone, and see you next year!”After that last announcement, the lights went off, delivering an eerie area in the secluded place, arousing tension between Damian and Carter, who didn’t even move despite being pointed by a gun. Damian remained standing, either, his gaze unwavering.“I think it will be useless if I pretend to be shocked, isn’t it? Since you also looked sure that it was me,” Carter said, his demeanor turned into a cold and intimidating one. “I didn’t know how you knew it was me, but nice one, huh?”
[WARNING! AN UNKNOWN GROUP INFILTRATED THE FERREMENTO MAFIA’S WAREHOUSE. PLEASE EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY.]“What the fuck,” Damian cursed as his gaze went back to Carter, who smiled sinisterly, being satisfied with Damian’s reaction. “What did you do, Carter? We are your family!”“Family? Damn hell, Damian. We are only a family in blood, but who in his sane mind would let his brother die? It is Veron. Do you call that a family?” Carter asked, his voice laced with anger and intimidation. “Now, go, since you will be busy for the whole night. And don’t think that you can use that hidden recorder to report me to the police. It is useless.”Damian remained silent. He could only clench his fist in anger before leaving Carter alone, making the latter smirk.
THE BOMB isn’t that impactful as it still left the mansion intact. The Ferremento mansion is made with materials that were fire and bomb-proof, ever since the previous accident happened.However, outside the mansion was a different case, especially since the bomb was buried there and not exactly in the mansion. It left the plants and trees dried, and some of the chairs outside also burned into ash.But it wasn’t the most important thing here. Veron had received the impact from the explosion, and upon witnessing that, Damian collapsed to the floor as his heartbeat arose abnormally.“Master Veron! Young master!” Damian heard Leo, who just arrived at the mansion, calling them, yet Damian couldn’t move anymore.He was worried about Veron, about
CORELL wrapped his fingers around Sabrina’s neck, pressing it hard, causing Sabrina to have a hard breathing. Since they were in a secluded area where no guards were patrolling, no one noticed what was happening between the two of them.“Do you remember what I told you before? You and your son’s safety will depend on how you behave, yet you are acting with me like this?” Correl muttered, his tone low. “But don’t worry, I will give you a second chance. As I rebuilt the organization, I realized there was something I lacked; resources.”Despite Correl’s effort to bring the Red Snake Organization back to its previous fame as he was the co-founder of it, he failed miserably. He needed the resources—The hidden assets and list of clients—but he didn’t know where Veron hid those things.
SABRINA had a plan to finish everything, although it could be a little bit messy and chaotic. But before that, she tried to mustard all the courage she had to tell Veron everything.So, after spending an intimate night with each other, Sabrina spoke. “Veron, what do you think about Correl?”“Hmm?” Veron raised an eyebrow, caressing his wife’s waist gently. “What exactly is your question?”“I mean, he was so against the Red Snake Organization, right? You two even argued after you commanded that organization to be banished,” Sabrina explained, her tone low. “What if… He does something that could put our entire family in danger?”“Correl would never do that,” answered Veron as he shook his
AS SABRINA was driving, Damian, who was in the back seat, had his brows furrowed while looking at the back window.“Mom, where are we going? And why isn't Father coming with us?” Damian asked, his tone low and sad. “And why Uncle Correl wanted to kill me? I can give him Carter the inheritance if that will prevent anyone from being hurt—”“No, Damian. Just because I’m taking you away, it means that you aren’t the Ferremento family’s heir anymore. I will just prioritize your safety for now, since you are still young, but when the time comes, we will go back,” Sabrina explained. “As long as I’m here, no one can hurt you, my son. No one—”But before she could finish her sentence, the extreme lights coming from a white truck illuminated i
“Right. What happened to her? Did she go to jail?” Damian asked, remembering his plan to imprison Catelyn in jail with high security so Carter couldn’t even go near her.But he wasn’t able to do that as he became unconscious for a week. He never expected Carter to plant a bomb on their mansion, though.“Well, at first, she was almost sentenced as not guilty, but after knowing how she almost killed you, I pulled my strings to make her have the maximum sentence,” replied Anya in a serious tone. “No one can hurt my husband, especially not on my watch.”Upon hearing those words, Damian couldn’t help but smile. He didn’t know what kindness he had made in his past life for the universe to bless him with a kind and loving wife like Anya.
“I DON’T need your acceptance, Carter. What I need for you to do is follow the rules,” said Damian in a cold and authoritative tone, making the board of directors gasp in shock.“Don’t you think you are being too harsh, Mr. Damian?” Elena asked, her eyes widening and her lips slightly parted. “When you were still unconscious, it was Carter who took care of everything. What is this attitude…”Elena’s voice trailed off, seeing how Damian was giving him a cold and intimidating stare. It suddenly sent shivers down her spine, piercing the walls inside her heart. She could only clear her throat and look away in fear.“Meeting adjourned,” Damian commanded, looking every member of the board in the eye, and they immediately knew what Damian wanted them to do.Without wasting time, all of them fixed their things and walked out of the room, leaving Damian and Carter alone. Damian locked the door and turned his direction to Carter, who was leaning against the wall with his arms folded.“You waste
