Brandon received an impromptu call. He was to report to the president’s house very early in the morning. He hadn’t had enough sleep since last night's saga. Madrigal wasn’t back, so he decided to go alone. He told Nathalie to stand guard at home. The fake chip and the Russian man were under his roof.He drove hurriedly to the president’s house. There were no guards or maids around the house, which was empty. The call specified that he came straight to the president’s office. Brandon went in there briskly, thinking the president wanted to test him or have a private discussion with him. The lights were turned off.He turned on the flashlight on his phone so he could see clearly. "How would they leave the doors widely open with no maids or guards around?" he asked himself loudly as he looked for the switch to turn on the light."Because isn't everyone away?" she clapped, and the lights turned on. "Hailey? "Is it all you?" he asked briskly. "Yes, I couldn’t get you off my mind since your
The engagement party"Those clothes ain't right for a dinner boss, you should wear something more cooperative," Nathalie urged. Brandon took out a vest and a pair of jeans. "Sir, how about a canvass?" Nathalie offered. Brandon opted for slides."If I told you what went down this morning at the president’s house, you’ll realize I don't need to get dressed up," Brandon replied shabbily."What happened?"Nathalie drove Brandon down to the president’s villa. He had so many houses, and the villa was one of his most luxurious hideouts."What is this, another stunt?" Brandon asked Nathalie as they arrived inside the well-lit villa with no one in view. "There’s a boat, boss," Nathalie said as she sighted it visibly.Brandon and Nathalie moved towards the boat. The lights came on suddenly. "Surprise!!!" They chorused. Mr. Chavez Oligario (the president) and his family, along with a few other friends, were on the boat. They had planned a surprise party for Brandon and Kimberly."Welcome, Bran
At the hospital.Madrigal and Nathalie were unrest, running helter-skelter to make sure Brandon was safe and fit. They waited anxiously for a reply from the doctor. "Why didn’t you keep an eye on him?" Madrigal asked worriedly. "I don’t know why he asked me to go wait in the car; he wanted to go and see Kimberly," she replied.Some armed men rushed inside the hospital compound, sealed the gates, and mounted signs on all the door posts.Some cars arrived shortly, filled with men dressed in suits. The other car, which was white, and a known signature of the family, was the last to drive in.The family arrived.They were all present aside from Olvido. They made sure every other occupant inside the hospital was chased out aside from the crucial matters. They were left with heavy guards."What’s going on? Why are they here?" Nathalie asked Madrigal. "What about these ones? Grandma Pilar?" One of the men in suits asked her. "Leave them; they belong to him," she replied."They are protecting
The family was gathered at the glasshouse. The usual upright mood wasn’t in the atmosphere they up lived a melancholic expression. They seemed to be in a mourning state."If only you all had supported me, none of this would have happened!" Olvido broke the ice. Angrily. "Someone shut this arrogant kid up!" Andalio responded."Really, I think you all should be happy now that he’s part of the five!" he slammed. "Sit and shut up!" Grandma Pilar cautioned."We are here to re-strategize and change things, now that he is in power, we need to brace ourselves for the best, we could still use him if we play our cards right, he knows nothing about the family and the organization," Grandma Pilar said appeasingly.Herveaux was brooding and lost. He didn’t know when Grandma Pilar started asking for everyone’s opinion until it was his turn and they tapped him."It's your turn, Herveaux," Andalio tapped. "Turn for what?" He asked. Lokking at their staring, scary faces "Sorry I wasn’t listening; I m
"Good morning everyone, this week has been extensively hard on me." "My father has been missing for days now, and now the man who took me as his dear son…." Brandon cleaned a fake tear from his eyes. The press was present at the first hearing, and the public viewed him as the newest member of the family. Brandon decided to address the people and release a statement about the death of the president and the death of his father.After agreeing to announcing his father’s death, he made an unexpected U-turn and discovered that his father was missing. Brandon continued his speech after he washed his face with wipes. He told the committee about the voices he heard and how he tried to rescue the president before he was attacked and knocked out, he didn’t know what else happened. He ended the process abruptly when Hailey dramatically joined him on stage, crying.He received some negative backlash on social media, while some other sent their love and prayers to him. He asked Nathalie to keep
It was a cool and breezy morning. Brandon took a stroll around the hospital, he was checked by the doctor, and he was allowed to move freely and return back to the hospital. Brandon had decided that he would be going to the company today, and he will also be meeting with the real deal. They dressed him up in a black tuxedo. He was made to wear trackers on his teeth and his neck. A microphone was also inside his suit so he could communicate with them effectively.Brandon got inside a black bulletproof limousine that was followed by a convoy. Madrigal and Nathalie sat down beside him inside the car. "Boss, I need to have a private word with you!" Madrigal whispered. "You know they can hear you, right?" Brandon said, loudly. He diverted Estrella and her colleagues' attention from any suspicion.Madrigal waited until they arrived at the company. Everyone had waited and was ready to listen to him. Marcellus was waiting at the entrance of the elevator to welcome him, but he was stopped f
Brandon had his discussion with Estrellia at length and got a handful of the informations he needed about the family from her. "Do you want to be somewhere else, sir? We spent hours, and time is far gone," she remarked. "No, not unless you have some place you want me to be?" he winced at her. Estrellia advised that Brandon had returned to the hospital. He deferred and ordered instead that the doctors go to his home. He remembered he had set an appointment with Marcellus, and he wouldn’t want to waste the opportunity.Estrellia inspected his house and made all the doctors available. Attorney Min Suk Hoon was also joining him at his mansion. "Why would he be coming over there?" Brandon asked her."He has some vital checks for you, Sir Brandon," Estrellia replied. Brandon took his seat and pretended to be asleep.They arrived at his mansion shortly after. "Sir Brandon," she said, tapping him lightly. Brandon mistakenly fell asleep along the pretense line, so he failed to do what he in
"Am I dreaming?" Vanessa muttered as she saw a shirtless Brandon sleeping next to her. "You’re awake?" he asked grimly. "Yes, what happened? I was at the bar.""Yes, and you shamelessly got drunk; I had to come get you!" he remarked annoyingly. Vanessa wrapped herself in the bed cover. She went to the bathroom to take her bath. "Stay back for breakfast; my friend is here too," Brändön mussed.Vanessa went down to the dining room and was surprised to see Nathalie and Marcellus at the table. "Hey, is this the girl from last night? You’re beautiful, ma'am," Marcellus commented.Vanessa smiled in response. "Just eat everyone. Enough!" Nanny Carlotta served them all. Brandon’s phone was ringing, but he refused to pick up the call. "Who’s call?" Marcellus asked, munching pressingly on his food. "You might choke and die!" Nathalie slammed him.Hailey was calling Brandon. He refused to pick up her call because of Estrellia's excessive watch. He wants to deal with their issues personally.
