“It is very dangerous right now, ma'am. We have to go immediately to check out the young master and make sure he's totally alright, and if you follow us, it also means we have to protect you. Please, have faith, ma'am. We can't afford for anything to go wrong,” he said.

Mrs. Claire didn't know what to do. She wasn't sure if he was telling the truth or not, but the only solution to the problem was to have a little bit of faith. At least, she couldn't do anything.

She looked at Steve.

“Make sure he's alright, Steve. I will be counting on you,” she said with a serious face.

Steve was a bit reluctant to reply to her. “Y… yes, ma'am,” he finally replied, stepping backward a little.

He was confused about what would happen. He didn't want to lie to the madam but he had no other choice but to do it that way. He was also feeling guilty that he had lied about Alaric's condition, and that he even said that he was telling the truth to her face. Somehow, guilt was burning him, even though

    The commander heaved a sigh. “I respect the fact that you are so concerned about the young master, Mr. Steve, but you have to understand that it is safety first and we cannot do anything that will risk our safety,” the commander said. “If anything bad happens, we will have to protect you as well as the young master,” the commander said. “But…” “Trust me, Mr. Steve,” the commander said, with intense eyes. “He's all right.” Steve was having a hard time trusting that the young master would be alright because he was so worried about him and wanted to know how he was doing by himself, but he was also aware that the commander was telling the truth. He knew that it could be dangerous if anything were to happen and he would have to be protected as well as the young master. Even upon the thought, he was still bothered about how Alaric was doing and wanted to go check on him. “I understand what you're trying to say, commander, but I am still worried about the young master. I am so used to b

    “Young master Alaric didn't tell us about any personal beef with the criminal. We also need to find Ms. Evelyn,” the commander said. Steve's jaw dropped. “Yes, Evelyn. We forgot about her. Does this mean that she's also inside that house with him?” “I'm not sure about that. We need to confirm if there is any trap anywhere. The question now isn't if there is a trap. The question is…” “What is the trap?” The commander finished the deputy's statement. “So what do you suggest? Do we retreat?” The deputy asked. “I think it's better to escape the trap than to fall inside it or retreat. Once you're in a trap you cannot get out. We don't know if anything has been planted around here. I know what to do,” he said. “Please do something that will not cause any harm to anybody, sir,” Steve said. “Be rest assured, Mr. Steve. We are going to save the young master now. Let's ignore the idea of any trap being set,” the commander said. He looked ahead to see the faces of the guards who were wa

    The commander's eyes rolled at all the objects he could see on the ground. He could see a stick, a rod, and an ax. He hoped that the thoughts in his head were not true. As he thought about the possibility of the criminal using the object on the floor to harm the young master, he shuddered upon it. There were many assumptions they could have, how it all happened, and who did it. But it was going to be hard to know the truth, even if they didn't know they were a few steps away from it. “Commander, I can see all these objects on the floor. The young master looks as if he had been beaten very badly, as he is bruised and battered,” the deputy said. “I hope it's not what I'm thinking,” the commander replied. Steve's anguished sobs echoed through the room, the heavy atmosphere of solemnity settling like a thick fog. The downcast faces of the guards and the commander bore witness to the gravity of the situation, each one grappling with the unexpected turn of events. Little did they anti

    The commander had no idea what Steve was talking about and just stared at him in bewilderment. “What? I don't understand what you're saying, Mr Steve,” the commander said. “We are going to take the young master to a certain hospital I will tell you guys to,” he said. “Why? What hospital is that? It would be better if we took him to the nearest hospital,” the commander said. “I have a reason why I said so. Don't worry, commander, you will understand in a minute,” Steve said. “This is a matter of the young Master's life. We need to take him to the nearest hospital before the bleeding becomes too much and makes him lose his life. He has already lost a lot of blood and he doesn't need to bleed further or else he will bleed to death. You can't even call the ambulance now because this is a very deserted place,” the commander said. “There is a reason why I said you should go to the hospital I will pick. The young master wouldn't like it if he was taken to another hospital apart from th

    “What the hell, Steve? You would burst out in laughter if you just heard what Commander Lex told me. He told me that you all found my Alaric, my son, inside the building, lying down, with a pool of blood surrounding him. How laughable that is. Come on, Lex, come up with some better jokes. This is not a playful thing,” she said, turning around and smiling at the commander. “Ma'am, I am not joking with you. I am serious. We found the young master lying down, a pool of blood surrounding him. He was bruised all over, including his face, as blood was all over it,” he said. Mrs. Claire smiled. “Really? My son?” In the middle of the road, Mrs. Claire's laughter echoed, a stark contrast to the grim news the commander had just delivered. "What, my son? No way," she said between laughs, dismissing the commander's account. Her eyes betrayed a deep-seated disbelief as she struggled to fathom the unthinkable. Despite their attempts to reassure her, Mrs. Claire's laughter persisted, a defens

    It didn't take long before they arrived at the hospital. Steve had already made an emergency call, saying that Alaric was in danger and that they needed to get the emergency team ready to rush him into treatment. Immediately the car pulled up in front of the hospital, the nurses brought the stretcher to take Alaric in it. Seeing the state of Alaric, gauze and cotton swabs were used to soak and wipe the blood from his face, and some parts of the body, as they rushed him inside. Mrs. Claire was standing by Alaric, holding his hands and urging him to stay alive. Some of the guards walked fast behind her to protect her against any harm. The doctor seemed to appear out of nowhere, and one of them walked up to them. “You have to wait here, ma'am. Seeing this amount of injury, I can see that we need to go into operation,” he said. Mrs. Wright was surprised. “Operation?” “Yes, ma'am. He has bruises, and we have to check for any internal damage, so we have to perform an explorator

    Steve desperately avoided eye contact with Dr. Rodriguez. The tension in the air was palpable, and Steve silently prayed that the doctor wouldn't call out to him. However, his efforts were in vain as Dr. Rodriguez's voice cut through the uneasy silence. "Steve!" called the doctor, his tone demanding attention. Steve reluctantly turned to face him, attempting to mask the anxiety that lingered in his eyes. Acting as normally as possible, Steve silently pleaded that Dr. Rodriguez wouldn't bring up the recent events. The doctor, however, played mind games, leaving Steve on edge. Ma'am Claire, noticing the awkward exchange, intervened with concern evident in her voice. "Is everything okay, Steve?" Ma'am Claire inquired, her gaze switching between Steve and Dr. Rodriguez. "Why are you acting like this?" Dr. Rodriguez, maintaining his enigmatic demeanor, reassured Mrs. Claire with a casual tone. "Oh, nothing's wrong. Just wanted to say hello," he said. "Congratulations, Mr. Steve. You'

The doctor asked. “That's not what is going on, doc. I agree that he was under attack, but we just find him in danger every time. We don't know where he goes,” Steve lied. He had really thought about it. I knew that whatever he was saying was the best thing. He had to do everything in his power to keep the truth hidden. “If that is it, and you don't know, then I guess this is a serious matter. You have to involve the police,” the doctor said, looking at Steve intensely. Steve was a bit surprised by the sudden statement involving the police. He didn't know how to say it, but that was the last thing he wanted to do. He tried hard to make sure the doctor didn't suspect something. “What do you say about that, Mr. Steve?

    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.

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.

    “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
