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

    “I don't know who gave the order to eliminate the Commissioner's descendants. However, please, don't hurt the child," said Brian, trying to talk to the man.But unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be of any use. The man was so alert that Brian had difficulty finding an opening. But, for now, Brian will keep talking.“I'm the one who will take over, not him, or his brother. I will be the replacement commissioner, wouldn't it be better if you take me first?"Brian spoke as fully as possible, or maybe even aroused the perpetrator's emotions, as long as there was a little gap, and a chance to invite Kevin to find the man's grip.Who would have thought that the laughter that came out of the man's mouth made Kevin stop crying? Either because his voice was loud, or his tone was cynical and cold. But Kevin thought Brian was confused. Brian pulled the corners of his lips into a smile, calmed Kevin as best he could, and promised to save the child unharmed."What is so funny?" Brian's rebuke made

    The interrogation room this time was different because previously there were still police signs. It hasn't even been twenty-four hours since the incident occurred, but now it is happening again. Will something similar happen again? Brian hopes not.“You probably didn't think we knew, right?” Arnold said as soon as Brian got there with Sean.The man just stared at Arnold coldly, completely unafraid.“If you know, why are you silent? Do you know the saying, the sooner the better," the man sarcastically.Correct. What are they waiting for?"You also know that taking him down isn't that easy," answered Arnold, remaining calm even though Brian was sure that the old man was furious because his grandson was injured.The room became tense, the man's cold and sharp gaze never left her. Only five people were in the room. The others just stood guard outside the room.Brian noticed what was going on, Arnold's constant questions, pressure, and so on didn't seem to affect the man.

    Brian followed Liam to a place in the house which was a room for storing files. There they store a lot of data, including data on the guards at the house."I didn't know that there was another room in Grandpa's study," said Brian.Liam just smiled as he pulled a file from a pile of other files. Brian himself looked around, checking it out. The room was like a secret room."This is the data you asked for, Brian," said Liam as he placed the paper on the wooden table.Brian approached and checked the data containing a photo of Billy Grela and another man named Kall Brata.“What are you planning?” Liam asked seeing Brian reading the file seriously.There was no answer from Brian because he had to concentrate and think about what he should do next. Liam was no longer wondering, he was paying attention to what Brian was doing while reading the files of the two perpetrators who shocked the Kentinx residence.“Are all the bodyguards here married?” Brian asked."No. Many have, many haven't," a

    The journey to the written address was not easy, it took two hours, the weather suddenly changed, strong winds blew, the rain started to fall on the ground, traffic jams and other unexpected events. However, Brian did not give up hope, he remained hopeful despite all the conditions."It looks like we are only an hour from here to Billy's house," said Brian explaining the navigation map on his cell phone.“Yes, Young Master. We'll be there in an hour,- if we don't get stuck in traffic," answered one of the bodyguards sitting next to the driver.Brian just nodded, didn't say anything else, and leaned his head on the back of the chair, then turned his face to the side. Raindrops hit the window, and the darkness of the night was starting to get scary. Occasionally lightning flashes, clearly visible through the glass window. But Brian remained silent, still holding out hope.The car continued to drive in silence, cutting through the quiet city streets. The journey began to enter foreign te

    "Follow me," said the woman, then turned away from them.Brian stared at the woman's back which was getting further away, while the bodyguards and Alessia looked at each other Brian followed the woman's steps, and Alessia followed him even though he was hesitant."Come in," said the woman when they arrived at the striped yard. "Fast!" the woman emphasized.Brian complied and stepped in, followed by Alesia and her bodyguard. Then the woman came in,- and immediately closed the door tightly. From her movements, it seemed like the woman was anxious.“Follow me, and stay calm,” said the woman again.Once again Brian complied. If that woman was Billy's wife, wouldn't that be great? However, it seemed something had happened.They entered through the back door. The front of the house is on stilts, and there are small stairs to the terrace, but the back has a concrete floor, but the building has not changed, it is still made of wood.Brian nodded his head when he met an old woman, and two teen

    The car carrying Brian and Billy's family began to leave the place under the supervision of the three men. Even though they had started to leave the place, they did not immediately feel relieved. Brian did not underestimate the movements of the opponent's men, or his grandfather's enemies who wanted to destroy everything Arnold had.But Brian was thankful he had taken him now, even though it was almost too late. Who would have thought that Brian had been waiting for his arrival?In the car no one was talking, it seemed like Billy's wife was still adjusting, she still looked worried, and Brian didn't force her to explain anything.“We will go to the next address. It doesn't look like it's far from here," said Brian to the bodyguard who was driving."Yes, Young Master," said the guard.Brian nodded.The roads in the area are still dark. The rain no longer fell to wet the earth, there was only silence, even in the car."So you knew I was coming?" Brian asked finally starting the conversa

    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.

    163. The Effect of Sorry

    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
