Brian immediately became alert as soon as the person attacked,- and pointed his gun right in front of him. With the martial arts skills that Brian learned, he could dodge even though avoiding sharp objects was not easy. But he had to avoid it as much as possible, or things would end like that.A bodyguard does train a lot. Not only physical, but also ability and defense. So it is not surprising that Brian did not immediately subdue the man and instead fought with his bare hands, while Brian's opponent was holding a weapon."Fuck!" cursed the man because so far Brian had still been able to avoid the attack."Stop it!" Brian exclaimed between dodging movements.“I won't stop until I can kill you,” the man said.Brian wasn't surprised anymore, Liam had warned him a long time ago, but Brian didn't expect it to turn out like that.“You won't gain anything by killing me,” Brian said."No! I will be free," answered the man.Brian wasn't sure what the man was saying.Free?Even the person who
After treating his wounds, Brian went downstairs where everyone had gathered. The man who attacked Brian was also there, on his knees, with his hands tied behind his back.Nobody spoke between them. Arnold's expression looked terrible. The third old man was very angry because his grandson whom he had searched so hard for was now injured and almost in danger."How are your injuries, Brian?" Manda asked as soon as Brian came and sat on the sofa with Alessia who was forced to come along."I'm fine, Auntie, don't worry," answered Brian, but his gaze was fixed on Arnold who glanced at Brian from the corner of his eye.Brian's attention was focused on the man who was still sitting kneeling in front of them.“Tell me again. What did you mean by doing that to Brian, and who told you to do it?” Liam asked in a demanding tone."As I said before, do it of your own free will, no one has the power," answered the man, remaining firm in not saying it."Unlucky!"For the first time, Brian was surpris
The fate of becoming an heir is not easy, especially with minimal experience and absolutely nothing to master. Brian is still learning and understanding what the life path of an heir is like.Brian knew it wouldn't be easy. But, Brian didn't expect it to be that heavy. Last night there was an attack on him, now it's worse than before.What has happened?It filled Brian's mind when Liam asked him to come down after waking up from his sleep,- and followed him to the back room that Arnold had intended to go to last night.His body was stiff,- and cold, and I don't know what else Brian felt about her. It's hard to believe what happened there. The thick smell of rusty iron pierced the nose, and red stains on the white floor of the room formed a small pool with a stiff body.It was the body of the man who attacked Brian at that time. Disbelief overtook Brian, fear, worry, and even worse things began to enter his mind. Brian lost focus, holding his breath, trying to believe what was happenin
“What do you mean, Grandpa? Why didn't I—""Brian, listen to me," interrupted Arnold with an unreadable facial expression.Brian was silent for a moment.“You are still new here. There will be people who are suspicious if you are seen by many people. I can't explain much to you right now, but I want you to do as I say,” Arnold explained.Brian was silent in disbelief. Brian wanted to stay there,- and see what happened, and how the police investigation turned out. Who is the suspect? Brian himself was involved with this man, the investigative evidence may point to Brian as well.“You just have to watch, and just pay attention for now. Things that happen now, could happen in the future. I don't want you to get involved directly at this time, but you can study this incident. Of course, I will explain it to you once everything is under control," Arnold continued to explain while also asking Brian to understand.What should Brian do now? Follow Arnold, or stick to your heart's desire to se
Brian was curious about all the results of the police investigation, and who the perpetrator of the murder was. There were so many questions in his head, but Kiara insisted that Brian not leave the place. Even after breakfast, Brian was increasingly curious about what might be happening there. How is Arnold's condition, many more questions fill my mind."You have to relax here," said Aleesia while placing a cup of warm drink."Oh, thanks," said Brian.Alessia sat on the sofa, opposite Brian. Even though their relationship was officially a couple, at a time like this, how could they still think about making out?"I'm just worried, and also curious," admitted Brian after taking a sip of the warm drink."I know. "However, it's useless if you insist on being there," said Alessia.Brian nodded his head."Just a little more. You need to hold on a little longer," added the girl, trying to change Brian's worries.They started talking there, just the two of them because Kevin and Kiara were in
Liam carried out his duties to explain to Brian the results of the police investigation, which had not yet been determined,- and asked Brian to be careful even though he was in a safe place that only the man knew about."So, same with killed Dad?" Brian asked.“I can't confirm it yet. But, there is a possibility. Maybe they are connected. Because the man doesn't want to say it, so we don't know for sure," answered Liam."It turned out to be far from what I expected," said Brian.Liam looked at him.“All the things that happen when I make decisions that I think are the best,” explains Brian.Liam's response made Brian turn towards him because the man smiled after hearing Brian's words.“Did you know, in every decision, there is always a risk that must be faced? This is one of them," Liam said wisely.Liam's words made Brian realize.“This is the beginning, isn't it?” Brian looked at his uncle, and Liam nodded. “What should I do to stay safe and stay true to myself?”Liam looked back at
They were silent when the camera footage was played. Liam does have several hidden cameras that only he knows about. In every corner of the house, there is another camera. There is one on the second floor near Brian's room. That's why now Liam's laptop screen displays what happened to Brian last night."It looks like he had planned it," commented Manda, who watched the recording.“That's right,” Liam said. "But there are other recordings that might show what happened in that room," said Liam, a little hesitantly.All eyes turned to him, asking in confusion."You secretly kept a camera in Brian's room?" Manda asked a little protestingly.Liam showed a smile."Since when?" Arnold asked.“Long before Brian came to this house,” Liam admitted.“Very good, Liam,” said Arnold in praise. This time the man smiled.Manda glanced at her husband with a small smile.Arnold asks Liam to play the recording of Brian's attack. This would be disproving evidence that they did no such thing at all.“Then
Brian's steps were fast, slightly running out of Liam and Manda's room. His mind was only focused on Kiara and Kevin. Somehow he felt bad about it. In his heart, Brian hoped."Hopefully nothing happens," thought Brian, still moving.Coincidentally, on his journey, Brian met Alessia who was with Kiara. The two girls sat together on the sofa. Alessia didn't go to Liam's room to see the recording. Kiara was seen playing with the girl on her cell phone."Why is your face like that, Brother Brian? Are you being chased by a demon?” said Kiara commenting on Brian's slightly pale facial expression.Ignoring Kiara's joke, Brian glanced around the living room, looking for Kevin's figure."Where's Kevin?" Brian asked.Alessia got up from her seat as if she felt something unusual from Brian."Why?" the girl asked."I don't know. But where is Kevin?” Brian asked hastily."Kevin went into his room earlier," answered Alessia.Not needing any more answers, Brian rushed to Kevin's room. But before tha
For a long time, he was silent in the room with his reflection in the mirror. The big event finally took place tonight, at one of the five-star hotels owned by the Kent Group. Brian looked at his reflection in the mirror. Everything was ready, and he looked perfect in a navy suit, Brian let his hair a little messy to make an impression, after all, that was his style. His watch was on, and so were his shoes."Let's go, Young Master," said Kiara, peeking at Brian from behind his bedroom door. The girl's smile always seduced him.Brian turned around,- and nodded.Kiara welcomed Brian, hugged the man's arm affectionately, and even laughed happily as she walked down the stairs in a long-sleeved, knee-length navy dress, just like Brian. Manda didn't want her daughter to show off her curves so she designed a dress that was closed but elegant. Kiara looked like a princess with her black hair neatly styled and decorated with beautiful hairpins.Everyone was waiting for him in the living room.
Is everything finished now? I don't think so. There were still disturbing feelings in Brian's heart.“Even so, I remained by his side. Because honestly, I liked Miles the first time I saw him. But, he was cold,- and didn't care about the meeting at all. I know that he has someone he loves. Jealousy got the best of me, making me think of crazy things to separate them."Brian's heart ached when he heard Miles' confession. How bad is jealousy if it gets out of control? Is it that difficult to endure, and get rid of that feeling of jealousy? Brian didn't know, but it was something everyone had.“Miles didn't know anything, neither did Chintia, and I was the one who separated them. For some reason, I wanted to meet you,- and say this. To be honest, the feeling of guilt after Miles died in an accident because of my uncle made me unable to calm down. Then, I heard a rumor that Miles had a child. Of course, the child wasn't with me, because Miles never touched me.”A feeling of relief envelop
Seeing that the girl was busy, Brian's thoughts began to wander, and his heartbeat increased even more. For the first time, Brian felt such a strong urge within himself."Is that okay?" Brian asked in his heart.Occasionally the man glanced at Alessia's smiling face. He still seemed happy because Sean already had a girlfriend, which meant Alessia would have a sister-in-law. Brian doesn't understand, but Brian seems to have to admit that Sean is great,- and unexpected. Even though they had often been together, they had never seen a man with a woman."They're not dressed." Brian blinked his eyelids even more.What is the meaning of that thought?"I am done. Would you like a snack tonight?” Alessia offered while drying her hands and looking at Brian who remained silent.For some reason, the lighting behind the girl became dazzling, making Alessia even more charming. Are the hormones in Brian's body active? Oh, wherever Brian is, he doesn't seem to feel any hormonal fluctuations.“Bryan?”
After Azil conveyed this to Brian, Brian's doubts about his father shook his heart, but he couldn't change his decision. For several days, Brian decided to stay in the house that Miles gave him. Arnold didn't mind it either because Brian needed to calm down.That question filled Brian's mind and heart again. What was his father's reason for sleeping with another woman? Is it still appropriate for Brian to call Miles his father? I don't know, Brian doubts it.The house is still the same because someone always comes to clean. Brian also comes occasionally. Brian won't be able to leave that house, maybe one day he will decide there, rather than Arnold's big house.“I will prepare for tonight. Do you want something?" Alessia asked as usual. The girl also accompanied Brian."Whatever you cook," Brian answered.Alessia just nodded and went to the kitchen to make dinner.For several days together at home, Brian was just silent, occasionally reviewing material for his campus trial which would
"I don't believe it. Brother Miles can't do something embarrassing like that. He must have been framed. That's right, he must have been framed," said Manda hysterically, not believing what she saw.Brian couldn't say anything, neither did Azil, even Liam who tried to calm Manda."Who's he?" Brian finally asked.But Azil was silent and shook his head."Jenifer, you may have heard of it," Liam said in response to Brian's question.Brian's eyes moved, the woman who had an arranged marriage with Miles but was rejected,- was close to Brian's father,- and was involved in Miles' accident.Brian didn't say anything now,- and cupped his face with his palms. Closed his eyes, let the clear and salty liquid fall from his eyelids, and cried silently. Brian's heart ached, why could this happen? His poor mother.Manda is still crying regretting her ignorance in the past. What happened, whether true or otherwise? Brian doesn't know, but now the question is why his mother left after trying to survive
“You can continue, don't mind Manda. We will still listen even if it hurts,” Liam said to Azil.Even though he was a little hesitant, seeing Brian waiting made Azil nod his head.“I insisted not to ask what the reason was. But, I secretly went back to town to find out,- and also told Miles. However, what do I get? Just hate and hurt when I see Miles with a woman, even though he looks so happy," said Azil.Azil's facial expression changed to anger, but that was only for a moment. After taking a deep breath, we continued the story.“I came back,- but didn't say anything to Sis Chintia. However, I understand the reason for making a sudden decision, and not even explaining anything. The heartache of being betrayed by a woman is like the end of everything. I understood Sis Chintia's decision,- and decided to leave, even hide. Sis Chintia probably thought that by disappearing, Miles would be happy.""That's not true," muttered Manda. “We have never been happier since then,” he continued, so
"So, I think it's time for you to find out what happened to your mother," said Azil.Brian automatically straightened up when he heard Azil involve his mother in the story he was going to tell."Mother?" Brian assured Azil that he had heard correctly."Yes, your mother, Chintia," repeated Azil, looking at Brian. "I came to tell you the reason why Sis Chintia chose to leave your father and hide herself," continued the man.Brian's eyelids moved slowly. When Brian started to no longer want to know about the past, and the reasons why his mother chose to give up after maintaining the relationship with all her might. But when Brian tried not to care, and decided not to know, someone came, claiming to know the reason."What has happened?" Brian asked in a weak voice.Brian's chest was now rumbling, there was a feeling of tightness touching his chest. What might Brian have heard from Azil about his mother making secret decisions?Azil sighed, focusing his gaze on Brian who was waiting to hea
Brian's busy life is always the same, studying, practicing, and working. Spending time doing many things doesn't make him feel bored, the man is enthusiastic about continuing. If no one reminded him to rest, Brian would drown in his busy life.Alessia is like a living alarm for Brian, the girl reminds Brian when it's time to rest, have lunch or dinner, and when he should go to bed early and wake up. Even though the distance between them has now widened, attention and affection have never diminished, on the contrary.That afternoon Brian had just come out of Arnold's study which he usually used for studying. A text message came to Brian's cell phone.[I came to visit, are you free?]Ask for a text message from Azil.Brian immediately responded with a telephone call,- and asked if Uncle Azil would come.“Yes, I came to visit,” answered Azil.“Where is Uncle now? I'll pick you up," said Brian."No need. "I've arrived," said Azil."Here?" Brian turned around and looked for his uncle."Yes
Brian threw himself on the living room sofa, there was no one there. Brian was tired even though he didn't do much work."Being the center of attention is tiring," Brian muttered with a sigh."Why?"Brian turned to where the voice came from. Manda appeared out of nowhere with a jar of snacks in her hand,- and a cup of drink that was still steaming. The afternoon is perfect for spending time with a cup of warm drink.Straightened his body and sat down. Brian watched his aunt put cups and jars on the table and then looked at Brian.“What are you mumbling about, Brian?” Manda asked curiously.However, Brian was silent and Manda did not demand that Brian say it."You have to be able to handle it," said Manda after taking the television remote and changing the channel. "When it's finished, you'll get used to it, and after that maybe you won't care," continued Manda as if he knew what Brian was muttering.If Manda knows, why ask? Brian thought his aunt's attitude was a little strange.“I'm
