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
“IT MUST be the papers Carson always brings for work purposes,” Dollie muttered, sliding the envelope in her direction to fix the papers inside. “In this aspect of his life, he never changed—”Dollie froze, not being able to finish her sentence when suddenly, she had a glimpse of the document’s contents inside the envelope. It wasn’t related to any work or such.Rather, it was about infiltration, gaining alliances, and conquering other businesses… and plans to take down the Ferremento Corporation and the people operating it.“Red Snake… Organization?” Dollie muttered, her tone so low that she couldn’t hear her own voice either, as she pulled one of the documents to read it. “C-Carter?”And there it is. Dollie’s skin went pale upon seeing that the person who was having such a horrifying plan was Carter. She almost had a hard time breathing because of shock, yet she shook her head, trying to regain composure.“Damian must immediately know about this,” said Dollie as she took her phone a
“Really? Even if I kill Damian right now?”“What?” Dollie’s brows furrowed in confusion. “Why would you kill your own cousin—”Dollie stopped speaking as she realized what she was about to say. However, it was too late. Carter had already heard everything. Loud and clear.“So you know something more than I expected, huh.” Carter clicked his tongue and smirked. “But don’t worry, Dollie. I will spare your life as long as you don’t tell what you discovered to anyone else. You are Carson’s ex-girlfriend, after all.”“I-I-understand…” Dollie answered, her breathing ragged.“You better be. Because if you don’t, you will regret it.” Those were Carter’s last words before ending the call.Dollie, on the other hand, let go of her phone upon feeling her body trembling. Tears streamed down her eyes, remembering Carter’s threat. However, she was determined not to let that fear stop her from doing the right thing.She transferred all the pictures of the documents from her phone to a memory card and
The man was wearing a full black suit and a face mask which only showed his eyes. They made eye contact, and Dollie’s knees almost wobbled upon seeing how the man looked at him intently.And deadly.“I-I need to get out of here!” Dollie exclaimed, and without wasting any time, she ran for her life toward the gate like a runaway bride.Her hands were in the hem of her dress, lifting it so she wouldn’t trip while running. Despite the sunny day, there weren't any cars passing on the street, given that the safe house’s location was in the countryside.Seconds later, she saw The Cozy Corner, where Ava loved drinking with her friends. She was about to go inside but stopped when she noticed the same man who was watching her when she was having a friendly date with Anya.That person didn’t see her yet, and before it could even happen, Dollie turned to the other side instead—to the abandoned construction site near The Cozy Corner.“This is nuts,” muttered Dollie and cursed repeatedly while roam
