Cephas had woken up earlier than everyone that morning because Elsa had instructed him to do so. They were going for a walk with Giovanni. He looked at his box before getting up from his bed and his sister crossed his mind.

“She will be alright, she has Zoro by her side. He is a capable man,” Cephas said to himself before getting down from the bed. A part of him wondered if she had texted him again but he was too scared to check her text.

Her reaction the last time still made him uneasy so he was only going to make progress based on the information she had given him earlier and end this whole thing as soon as possible. This was his fifth month in the Den.

It was only right that he finished up here so he would have less things to worry about in future. He washed up and wore the new pair of clothes Elsa gave him then he went to wait in front of her office.

    Cephas got himself a huge room in the staff’s lounge in Arizona. Compared to his little room back at the den, this was luxury. Of course, it was courtesy of Elsa. She was the only one that could push this kind of button for him, unless each servant had that kind of room.He must say, life in Arizona is way different than back at the den.

The fact she was standing out alone in a black dress creeped in out.“What was she up to again?” he asked himself.She grinned at him. “A change of heart and plan. If you were a minute late, you would not have made it out alive.” She gestured to him. “Come over here fast.” He rushed over to her.“KABOOM!” the explosion in the building went off. “Nice” she screamed.“Why did you do this?” he cried out, thinking about the bunch of people they were in there to gamble. Though they have a terrible addiction, they didn't deserve to die.“Innocent people are in there, lots of them.”“None of them are innocent, I would burn down this town if I could,” A weird laughter came out of her mouth. “The criminal needs to leave the scene right before the police come right?”“She grabbed his hand and got on the scooter. “Hop on, Safety first,” he joined her and she drove him back to her family house..“This place

    “Big Boss.” Jose yelled as he ran towards Cephas. He engulfed him in a hug. “You are alive,” Cephas had rang them up when he got to the airport about his arrival and asked them to arrange a car for him. Their swift response was like they were waiting for his call at any time, which warmed his heart.They were his employees and family that he never had.Cephas chuckled at Jose’s behavior. He had not changed a bit. “Yes. I am.” Someone like him could not even contact his family because they were all after his position and his younger sister was acting weird to him which was unlike her. He kept his hands crossed that his gut feelings were not true.“We saw the explosion in Arizona, we were scared. We didn;t know what to feel. The chairman has been on best rest since we saw the news.” he said while they both walked into Cephas’ house.Sarah had probably told him about his arrival in Arizona. At least she did some follow up with them. “Arhh, Sarah told you I was there?”“No, you forget

    Jose drove Cephas down to his father’s home. He walked into his father’s room, his stepmom and his step siblings were all in there.He had called earlier to tell his father about his arrival back home and that he was coming. He thought that his father would have prepared him for a feast coming out of the Lion’s den alive.When he did not see a busy table downstairs, he thought his father had not informed his stepmom about it. That was why it was quiet downstairs but Sarah should have done something too.“This is a surprise?” He said as he noticed everyone in the room. “Why is everyone here?”He saw Sarah’s face and she didn’t look like she was happy with him. She looked like she could stab him. He wonders why she was wearing such disdain for him on her face. Though her aura had changed during one of their conversations when he was at the Lion’s place.“We are here to reveal your harsh doing.” Sarah replied in a harsh tone that took Cephas by surprise.“Harsh doings?” he asked her and

He had only said yes to what Violet had said, now a bowl of soup was downed on his head.

She had vandalized the store and ran away with it plus they didn’t hire any lawyer for her. Why is he taking the fall for it?
