Alaric opened the briefcase, and Norton was really shocked to see what was inside. He couldn't believe his eyes. I had never seen yet amount of physical cash in his life before, and he was about to touch the money when Alaric grabbed his arm.

"Where's Evelyn?" He asked again.

"Calm down. I just want to feel it," Norton said.

Norton inspected the money with a calculated gaze, a smirk playing on his lips. "Smart move, Alaric," he commented, a hint of satisfaction in his voice.

"Now, let's talk about Evelyn. So… I regret announcing it to you… but… I need to have the money first before I show you where Evelyn is. I don't trust you. If I tell you where she is and you might go and find her, and run away with my money," he said.

Alaric was baffled by his words. He didn't have anything else to prove to Norton, but Norton demanded to get the money first before he released Evelyn. He didn't know what to do at that point, whether he should listen to Norton, agree to whatever he said, or just

    "What the freak in the world are you saying? I'm not a poor lad. I am rich, and anyone with good eyesight can definitely attest to that," Norton said, still trying to pretend. "I didn't know that you were this kind of a person. Not only do you not have sympathy for human beings, and disregard the lowly, but you also lie. That seems like a good resume for your job," Alaric said. Norton clenched his fist. "Say one more word and I will give you a taste of my fist," he threatened Alaric, finally submitting to Alaric's technical mind game.Alaric stood tall, a sly grin playing on his lips. "So, Norton, have you finally submitted? I knew that you couldn't handle pretending for too long. Exactly as I had anticipated it to be," he said. Norton shot him a menacing glare, his fists clenched. "I swear, Alaric, say another word and I'll punch you."Internal fury raged within Norton as Alaric's smug satisfaction fueled his anger. Norton's eyes narrowed, nostrils flaring, a tempest of emotions

    Norton felt as if he was defeated. He had used most of his energy to defend and then when he had gained momentum with adrenaline pumping in his veins, he was countered, and everything felt over, as he lay, weak, staring into emptiness. Alaric, rolling back to the floor, breathed heavily. Even if he managed to get Norton to the ground, he had received some amount of pain. He rolled his eyes at a defeated Norton.His gaze hardened as he surveyed Norton sprawled on the ground, struggling for breath. The taste of revenge lingered in the air, propelling him forward to strike once more. However, as he raised his weapon, which was his fist, trying to get back at him, when, suddenly, he felt a sharp pain spring from a spot of his body. What had hit him? He didn't know. The pain, initially a subtle whisper, escalated swiftly, coursing through Alaric's entire being with an intensity that left him momentarily paralyzed. It wasn't just a physical sensation; it was as if the very fabric of h

    Norton's eyes widened in shock as he looked down at Alaric sprawled on the ground. Stuttering, he managed to ask, "Are… you bleeding?" The sight of Alaric's soaked clothes sent a chill down Norton's spine.Stammering through his words, Norton expressed disbelief that his kick had inflicted such harm on Alaric. Panic threatened to overtake him, but he fought to regain composure, forcing himself to stay calm. "I... I didn't want it to come to this," Norton confessed, addressing Alaric. "But I had no other option. I can't let you ruin everything. You are the one who is always making me angry, and I don't like it. I might actually hurt you when I am angry, and look. This is the result." His words hung heavy in the air as he reluctantly admitted to leaving Alaric to bleed until death.Alaric groaned in pain, helpless on the ground, unable to counter Norton' s cold decision. Norton turned away, determined to carry out the next steps of his plan. He marched towards the location where the ca

    With a surge of determination, Alaric summoned every ounce of strength left in him. He launched a relentless assault, a flurry of punches and kicks that left Norton struggling to defend himself. Each strike resonated with the echoes of their tumultuous history, the consequences of choices made, and the paths diverged. Finally, Norton, fatigued and battered, found himself on the brink of defeat. He knew he had to do something. He tried to deliver a knockout punch to Alaric, but in a final act of defiance, Alaric gathered his remaining strength and, with a well-timed sweep, brought Norton to the ground. They both breathed heavily.“Finally. I got you,” Alaric mouthed out. Alaric's breaths came in ragged gasps as he stood over Norton, the taste of victory thick in the air. "Got you in place, Norton," he declared, his voice laced with exhaustion and triumph. A bead of sweat trickled down his temple as he caught his breath. With Norton down, Alaric's eyes flashed with a mix of determi

    “I thought you said this is your time to make the orders now, Alaric. Why aren't you doing it? Why are you just lying helplessly doing nothing? How can you protect your secretary, or even find her, if you can't beat me? I'm the one who told you to come here to see her, but it is so unlucky that I don't have her with me. No matter what, I am sure that I will get out of this place with your money,” he said. “D… don't,” Alaric stuttered, gasping for air. “D… don't do it. She has gone through a lot… I don't… want her to suffer more.”“What? Your money?”“E… Evelyn. Tell me where she is…” Alaric requested.“I don't know. The only thing I know is that I am taking your money,” he said.“Please. I am begging you not to do this. Don't take the money without showing me where she is,” Alaric pleaded.“I told you that I don't know where she is. Why are you still asking me about her?!” He shouted. “If you want to know where she is then I think you should find out about that but don't ask me for h

    Alaric attempted to land a punch to Norton, but he was unable, due to how weak he was, and he felt as if something was making his body stiff. He looked at his arm, so weak that it was shaking, and was surprised. His body was betraying him.“What's happening…?” At that moment, when he didn't expect it, another sudden pain in his body. This time, it was hotter, louder, and more anguishing than what he had ever imagined, and Norton just looked, shocked by what happened. He watched as Alaric's grip slowly loosened, and how Alaric was expressing pain, slowly, slowly moving down until he fell to the ground. He raised his head and looked at what happened and was surprised to see the goons - the head one with a stick in hand.“What? What did you do to him? Why did you come out of the blues and attack him?” He asked.“I'm sorry for doing that, boss, but I was just trying to protect you. I heard something and I thought that the both of you were fighting, and I had no other option but to cal

    The head of the goons bent down to check if Alaric was still right. He raised Alaric's hand, and let go of it immediately, trying to see if he would keep it up to show that some strength was left, and to prove that he was alive, but Alaric's hand fell to the ground. The goon's eyes widened, and he stared in shock at what he noticed.“What is going on? His hand just fell back to the ground,” he said. Norton looked at him, with a weird expression. “So what? His hand fell to the ground. Meaning what?” He asked.“I raised his hand to see if he would be able to keep his hand up, and that would prove there's still some strength left in him and some energy. His hand just fell back to the ground, and I'm really worried about what that means,” he said.“Can you tell me what it literally means?”“It could mean that…” All the goons, together with Norton, look at him with shocked eyes. “No way. Is that…?” The head goon asked.“He is dead,” Bob declared The head of the goons cast him a glare

    "I was thinking that we should take his body and find a nearby place to put it. Maybe in the gutter, the river, or just some bushes,” Bob said. “Wow. That's a good idea,” the head goon said. “What?!” Norton exclaimed, in disbelief. What the hell was wrong with these men? He asked himself. Somehow, they seemed like psychos. Not seemed, they definitely were. "What the hell is wrong with all of you? Do you all realize that this is a matter of someone's life?” Norton asked. “Well, I assume if you were so worried about this person, you wouldn't have ordered us to beat him up,” Bob said. “I don't care about what you say, fellow. I know too well that you're just trying to piss me off and make me get angry at you but that won't work. I only called you guys here because I needed the money, and I want to have my revenge against him,” Norton said. “Revenge? I see. Well, if I may ask, what kind of revenge are you talking about? Do you have beef with him?” The head going asked. “If you c

    Evelyn was working in the office when suddenly her phone rang. She picked it up to see who was calling, and it was Mr. Steve. “Good day, Mr. Steve. Can I know why you are calling me? I am currently doing something at the office,” she said. “You need to come here right now, Miss Evelyn. Someone wants to see you, and she requests that you be here soon,” he said. “What? Who wants to see me?” She asked. “Someone in the household wants to meet with you.” “I don't really know if I have the chance to come because I have a lot of things to do right now, Mr. Steve. Can this meeting be scheduled later?” She asked. “It is not a business meeting, Miss Evelyn. In case you didn't hear me, I said that someone from the household wants to see you.” “The household? What do you mean by that, Mr. Steve?” She asked. “The mansion of the Wright family,” Mr. Steve said. “Really? A member of the mansion wants to see me?” She asked. “Yes. Come quickly, it's urgent.

    "And your last wish?” Norton bowed his head, trying to hold back the tears in his eyes. “My last wish…”“Yes. Tell me.”“Please, forgive me. This is my last wish.” Alaric was surprised.“What?”“Yes, young master. That is my last wish. If you can grant me these three wishes, then I don't care if I die. I will live without regrets. I just want to make sure that my mother is okay, but if I have the forgiveness of the woman I love, and that of yours, then I am satisfied,” he said. Lucas was just staring at what was going on without saying a word.“So you want me to go and give your mother money?”“No, young master. Support her in any way you can is all I ask. Please,” he said.“Consider your last wish granted. I forgive you, Norton. I have already forgiven you a long time ago. I just wanted you to learn your lessons and end it all by putting you in prison,” he said.“Thank you for this, Alaric.

I worked at the company of your long-term rival, remember?

    “Mom, Dad, look. We are finally getting back investors who left us before. They want to give us a second chance and invest in the company again. This is such great news and it's overwhelming,” Norton said, rushing down the stairs to meet his father and his mother who were in the living room. Mr. Jefferson turned around. “Really? Have our investors come back?”“Yes, Dad. Look at this, Mr. Peter said that he wants to give us a second chance and that we should not fail him this time. They want to invest in the company so that we can use the amount to produce and make a profit,” Norton explained.“That is very good news, son. You are doing a very good job when it comes to handling the company. This calls for a big celebration,” Mr. Jefferson said.“Dad, relax. We have to make sure that we get everything back before we celebrate. If we have all we need, then we can wine and dine and there will be no one to stop us.

I am Inspector David Williams, the police officer who is in charge of the case in your company. I have two other police officers with me today, and an investigator,” he said, pointing at each one of them.“Good day, sir. I am Investigator Adam Phil,” he said, extending his hands. Alaric shook hands with the police officers.“It's good to see you all today. Our legal department reported a case and I'm happy that it's being looked upon,” he said.“Don't worry Mr Alaric. We will do our best to dig to the bottom of this,” he said.“Okay, so, how do we start?” “First of all, we have to collect the necessary information and evidence you have against the culprit. Then, you have to come to the police station to submit your s

    The car pulled up at a cafe, and Evelyn wondered to herself why they had been at a cafe earlier and just arrived at another one“Is today all about drinking coffee?” She asked.“Funny joke, but no. It just happens to be my favorite venue for a meeting,” he said, as he stepped out. He went inside the cafe, and sat down, taking a table. One of the workers immediately walked up to him.“What can I get for you, sir? And your wife, ma'am?” He asked, looking at Alaric and Evelyn.“What?” Evelyn said in shock. “Wife? I'm not his wife.”“Don't mind her. She's going to be my future wife, but you know how shy women are. She's in the one I'm actually taking on a treat today. Wait a little while, the main character is coming,” he said. Evelyn, pissed by what Alaric was doing, began to mutter to herself.“Main character huh? Which means I am an ordinary character in this story. Well done, sir, for degrading me.” Alaric, seeing that she was beginning to get angry, smiled. “You know that you will

    “Mr Donaldson told me himself that he was ready to take whatever penalty of his actions there was. He told me that if I wanted to kill him, his hands were wide open waiting for me. If the police would come, he would be at his house.”“So what do you want to do to him?”“He's the only one safe, father. He decided to turn from his evil ways and expose the truth. He didn't have anything personally against, and since you said none of them ever had an attack against the Wright empire, then, he is okay.”“And Mr. Tate?” He asked.“He might be the hardest to penetrate, but I will definitely find something against him,” Alaric said, his head immediately thinking of Kimberly. “Did he do anything to you?” Mr. Wright asked. Alaric was hesitant to answer the question, but he shook his head. “Nothing to the company, but to me, yes, father,” he said.“Then, what do you plan on doing to these people as a method of revenge?” Mr. Wright asked.“I want to put an end to all of them.

    Mr. Wright was a little bit surprised. Something like that had never happened before and he was worried that something was wrong.“Hope everything is alright, son?”“There's nothing wrong, Dad. It’s just that I need your help for answers because I have questions that are disturbing my peace,” he said. Mr. Wright raised a brow. “Really? Then tell me, son,” he said. “Come have a seat,” he offered, pointing at the seat across his. Alaric sat down and looked at his father.“First, Dad, before we begin, I want you to promise me something,” he said.“What is that, son?”“I want you to promise me that you will tell me the truth no matter what,” he said. The question made Mr. Wright feel worried that something was wrong. “Son, are you sure everything is alright?” Mr. Wright asked again to be sure.“I am perfectly fine, father. As long as you decide to tell me the truth of the whole story, then every answer I need will be clear to me,” he said.“I promise to tell you the truth, then, son,”

    Evelyn, surprised by how he was able to guess every single thing that was happening to her, tried to hide her shocked expression. “H… how?”“Don't worry, Evelyn. I told you that I would make sure you realize your love for me, and this is just the first step towards it. Look how you were able to calm me down without even doing much. That is the effect of your presence in my life,” he said. Tapping on the button that winded down the windows, he snapped his finger at the guard outside. He entered the car and ignited the engine.“Take me to the mansion. I want to see my father,” he commanded, and the guard nodded. Meanwhile, Evelyn, who hadn't said a word, rested a finger on her lips as she reminisced the feeling of Alaric's kiss that sent jolts of electricity throughout her body. The car drove to the mansion as Alaric had commanded. Evelyn was a little bit worried that he didn't decide to drop her off at the office, and she wondered why he was taking her with him.“Young master,” sh
