"It's from…." The woman started to say."Why not accept it and see what it is?" Chase finally spoke up and the woman heaved a sigh of relief for pulling her out of the awkward position.Evelyn looked at him from the side and sighed. It was reasonable that she opened it because for all she knew, it could have been a rusted piece of jewelry for her mockery because she was still skeptical about the woman. "Fine," she huffed and collected the bag from the woman."Thank you," the woman said, directing it to the both of them.Chase cocked his head to the side, giving her the permission to leave and she bowed her head one last time and sauntered out of the lobby with all elegance and drove off in her sleek black Porsche.The sight left everyone in awe. Her dressing wasn't a coincidence. She was obviously rich.She peered inside and pulled out the black box that sat royally in the bag."Here, let me help," Chase said and collected the bag from her so she could hold the box properly.Taking in
The Heir Chapter 45
The days leading up to the one week Theo's grandmother gave him passed in a blur, totally uneventful. He would have thought he had woken up from the dream and his life had gone back to normal if he didn't keep getting the stipend he was promised daily, which led him to where he was standing at the moment."Can I see the doctor?" He asked the nurse that stood behind the counter."Do you have an appointment?" The young brunette asked him warily."Um, no but…." He started to say but she immediately cut him off."Then I can't help you," she snapped. She was already having a long day and she could have just taken him to the doctor but she knew he was just there to waste her time.Chase sighed in exasperation. He knew it wasn't going to be easy, especially as he wasn't a family member, but he didn't know it would be that difficult. He had somehow managed to get Evelyn to tell him her mother's name and the name of the hospital she was admitted to but that was all he could get without drawing
The Heir Chapter 46
"Young master?" Everyone including the nurses and guards looked around to see who the doctor was talking about.The guards noticed that the man's eyes were zeroed in on Chase and they quickly shook their heads."There's a mix up, doctor. He's just a vagabond that….." the second guard started to say but he couldn't finish his sentence as the doctor slapped him across the cheek, his head falling to the side."How dare you? Apologize to the young master this moment," he growled with fury. The reputation of the hospital he had built with his sweat was at stake and they dared to still open their mouths.The nurses opened their mouths in pure shock. They had never heard the chief doctor speak more than two words at a time, talk more of showing such anger.Who was this young master he was talking about? The question filled their minds.The guards quickly got to their knees in front of Chase. They didn't understand who he was or why they were apologizing to him, all they knew was that their j

The doctor nodded and thanked him profusely and Chase left the building.When he was gone, the doctor sent for the two guards and fired them immediately, all their pleadings falling on deaf ears.The name 'Kevin Alcantra' echoed throughout the hospital like a wide fire that day and the staff all pulled out their phones to search for the name but there was no result found. Was he in any way related to the great Alcanta family? Nobody knew the answer to the question.Chase had a smile on his face as he exited the building. He was very happy because he had been able to resolve the issue that had been bothering his friend for the longest time but the smile on his face faltered a bit as he saw a figure he recognized a few feet away.He walked closer and saw it was Kenny. Kenny sat on a bench with slumped shoulders, looking very dejected."I thought that was you," Chase immediately said when he got closer and saw his face."Hi, Theo," Kenny replied with a smile but the smile didn't reach hi

"Wh…what? Why would you say that?" Kenny choked out and scoffed a bit, which was totally unbelievable, even to a five-year old child."Don't lie, Kenny, " Chase said, his eyes growing even darker. He totally hated when people were bullied and he had been a victim since his awakening but then, there was absolutely nothing he could do. But now, he had the power and wasn't going to let it slide."Why would you think I'm lying?" Kenny kept the denial up as he scratched the back of his head, thinking of how to get out of the situation. This was something he had never discussed with anyone and nobody had been concerned enough to find out, even when he came to work with a black eye. He wanted to tell Chase off but he didn't have the heart to. No other person had cared enough to ask him."I saw what he did to you in the elevator the other day," Chase said bitterly as the memory of how ashamed Kenny had looked came back to him."Wha….." Kenny tilted his head to the side as he tried to think of

"Theo," Huncho called out from the other side of the street and jogged down to reach him on time, two of his minions following in tow.The smile on Chase's face disappeared. They were just the right people he needed to shake Paul up a bit but how would he do that? It wasn't like they were his friends and he could just say "hey buddy, beat someone up for me real quick." If anything, they were there to beat him up."Looks like you forgot about us," one of the men smiled while rubbing his moustache."Fuck off," Chase said through gritted teeth and swatted the man's hand away as he tried to touch his face."You've gotten quite ballsy," Huncho said and his smile grew wider."What do you want?" Chase scowled."I'm gonna keep it brief. Give us some money," Huncho pulled out his hand to receive."I don't have any money to give you," Chase replied and turned to leave but just before he could do that, Huncho dragged him by the collar and was about to land a blow to his face when the headlights

"Young master, we'll be back in the next two days. You'll be leaving for the states with us, just as the empress said," secretary Kim informed Chase.He nodded once in response and walked the remaining distance to his house while the men reversed their cars and screeching of tires could be heard.Chase wasn't ready to leave yet but he knew he couldn't back down. The empress had fulfilled her end of the bargain and he had to do same.After a quick shower, he got into bed, prepared for his last day as a hotel cleaner.At Paul's house, he was having a mini party with his some of his friends. He didn't have to report early to work since he had Kenny who would get everything settled before his arrival."Hey, man, is there more booze?" One of his friends who was already drunk asked."There's enough for everyone one in the fridge," he yelled over the loud music and the party of 7 people all cheered.He was the most respected among his friends, mainly because he worked at a prestigious compan

Chase yawned like a cat and stretched wildly when he woke up the next morning. He quickly rushed to get ready for the day and since it was his last day at work, he wanted to leave an impression, whatever that may be.He got ready on time and soon, he was standing outside Gab and Gabe's. With a deep breath, he walked in and headed straight to the elevator.He has gone very early so the elevator was mostly free till he got to the floor his section was.Immediately as he opened the door, his eyes met Evelyn's. She was in a conversation with Alice."Hi, ladies," he greeted as he walked in."You're here early today," Alice commented."Don't I come early every other day?" Chase asked, feigning hurt.In response, the two ladies looked at him pointedly."You're going to be just fine," Alice said to Evelyn and squeezed her hand before leaving the office to get started with her day.Evelyn sighed deeply and sunk deeper into the couch. Chase noticed this and walked up to her."That suits you," h
