"Dennis!" Diana exclaimed in shock gripping the bath towel tightly around her. She looked askance at Dennis and then smiled"So you finally came in" she said pleased to see him, then walked towards her changing cube. It was the traditional Japanese walk in closet which revealed her silhouette as she put on her night dress, taking her time to dress in efforts to entice Dennis.Although shocked to see him, Diana thought they had a moment earlier after Dennis dropped her off, and seeing him now in her apartment, there were no doubts, Diana was sure Dennis wanted her as much as she did him. Finally her plans were falling in place, in no time she'd be married to a member of the Apollo family. The thought almost made her shriek from excitement."I'll have to say, I'm a little surprised to see you back so soon, Mr Apollo" she turned to Dennis and said teasinglyHowever, Dennis did not say a word. He could not believe her guts. How dare she think that he is here to sleep with her?Dennis sno

After telling Dennis all the information about her uncle, Diana felt entitled to know, then asked "What are you going to do?"Diana patted her forehead as if an abrupt thought had just occurred to her "Oh, Dennis. My uncle is a dangerous man, he has friends in high places, dangerous friends. Whatever this is about, I know convincing you not to pursue it will be pointless, but please be careful" she said empatheticallyDennis nodded "Alright, thank you" Diana was not aware that her uncle had been fired from the Coalition Organization courtesy of Dennis. If he knew he was the heir of the real Apollo family, she would know just how powerful he was and would not be bothered for his safety Compared to him, her uncle was a mere puppet. This confirmed Dennis's assumptions - she was not aware of his identitySeeing how relaxed he was, Diana felt confident to make a move. She said softly, "Would you like a tour of my place, you would find certain things to your taste" she said with a winkD

She was in charge of keeping Kuza safe, teaching her how to harness her powers, and felt it was her fault that she was captured.Immediately her wounds and fractures were healed, she regained her full strength and quickly jumped out of the bed, demanding to see Dennis.When Dennis received her call, he felt relieved. Ruelle was ambitious and he could use her to handle Logan Finley's business."What is the mission? We need to get her back" Ruelle asked impatiently"Kuza?" Dennis replied slightly puzzled"Yes, isn't that what you need me to do?" Ruelle asked, frowning when she heard the tone of his voice."Tell me you have a lead on her Dennis" she added immediatelyDennis sighed. He did not want Ruelle to get involved in matters concerning Kuza yet, until he found a solid lead on Kuza, having Ruelle interfere was too risky"I have a lead" Dennis said in a casual tone, walked towards his car an

Dennis arrived at Lord Duncan's estate to change cars. He figured a man as important as Logan Finley usually drove around in luxurious vehicles. Picking him up in George's cheap BMW would bring cause for suspicion.When he arrived at the Duncan Estate that morning, Yura informed him that Mark had stopped by earlier and was infuriated when he learnt that Dennis was now in charge of the Duncan estateDennis ignored her and walked directly into the 12-car garage. Mark was the least of his concerns, especially after severing his ties with Rico, there was nothing the pompous brat could doA few minutes later, Dennis emerged with a black range rover and was about to leave when Yura stepped in front of him with a frown on her face, staring at him curiously. She dreaded Dennis's reaction when she told him that Mark had returned and was trying to cause trouble again, but seeing Dennis's indifference towards it, she was even more afraid of what he'd doLately she had sensed a much different at

Dennis glanced at her and said nothing"What am I going to do for you to trust me? I swear I didn't know what my uncle was up to" Diana stated, seeing the displeased look on his faceDennis grunted and said "Your entire family has been nothing but trouble since you all arrived in my town. I think it's time for you guys to leave, don't you think so?" He said and smiled coyly Diana sighed, stopped at the red light, turned to Dennis and uttered in an earnest tone "You can choose to deny it or not, but I know the real reason why you want me gone Dennis" Dennis laughed dryly and asked "Okay then, tell me" he curiously asked"Because despite the tough exterior

Despite his new found success now, it must still hurt to be ridiculed and shamed for how poor he was back then, she thought. However, little did she know that even back them Dennis's family was richer than everyone at that school, and so she turned to him and apologized sincerely as they got into the elevator"I'm sorry about that. I didn't know we were going to run into her. Willo

Diana's offer was tempting, Dennis arched his eyebrows curiously "Diana, I should let you know..." "You don't have to" Diana interjected, her face turned into an embarrassing flash of red when she realized she had been too forward. She was afraid of what he might say and mumbled apologetically "I'm sorry, I just thought I could help you relax, but it's okay if you don't want to stay" Dennis nodded and a radiant smile plastered on his face as he said "Thank you, but I have to be going now. I'll call you tomorrow" then turned to leave However, just when he was at the door, he stopped and turned as the thought just occurred to him suddenly "Call and fix dinner with Willow and her husband tomorrow night as well" Dennis said and walked away, leaving Diana confused****The next morning, Diana got ready to go to work in the morning.

Today was the first time he'll be introducing Diana officially to the company board and shareholdersDennis walked purposefully and entered the board room. Immediately he took his seat and gestured for Diana to take a seat by the corner of the roomWhen the board members saw her, they started murmuring amongst themselves "Who she is?" Dwayne, one of the board members muttered"Isn't it obvious? I saw them come out of the same car earlier, she's certainly one of his party girlfriends. He probably gave her a job to act as his assistant, if you know what I mean" Frederick murmured, and the men laughed dryly amongst themselvesBy this time, Dennis was attending to an urgent call from Apiu Singh concerning Jonah, and could not hear everything that his board members were sayingDiana on the other hand sat simply, observing and listening keenly to their mockery and insulting commentsHow dare they suggest that she was sleep

Kuza got up and paced frantically and as Dennis tried to stand up, he staggered on his feet and collapsed on the ground.At this point, the negative imbalance was eating at the core of his chiSeeing his drop to the floor, Kuza hurried towards him and supported him towards the bench. Before coming here, Dennis had drafted a sentimental apology speech, but at this moment, it was a lot harder to say anything.Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Akio from the corner of her eyes and hurriedly approached him"Tell me there's a way to undo this" she spoke frantically Elder Akio remained quiet for some time, caressing his soft white beard, and then said, "There might be a way to, but...","But what?" Kuza interjected impatiently"I can't do it. It'll require someone with a very powerful Gift, someone like you", Akio replied"Me?" Kuza asked in shock. She had barely learned the basic techniques of Chi manipulation, how then was she expected to heal someone with a level 10 Chi energy?Her face

The moment Akio uttered those words, Dennis stood still for a moment, bit his lips, and then smiled weakly He had foreseen his death in his heart when he realized there was an imbalance in his Chi levels. He now understood why most gurus did not attempt to reach the yin-yang ChiAt a moment like this, it was only a matter of time. No one or anything could save him, and a part of him knew that"How did this happen, Dennis?" Elder Akio's voice echoed again in his earsDennis did not answer. Instead, he remained standing for some moments, using Diune to listen to the familiar heartbeats hiding and eavesdropping from behind the door, and a weak smile curled from the corners of his lip"Dennis! How did this happen?!" Apiu shouted angrily Dennis broke out of his trance and heaved a deep sigh, staring at Apiu who looked back at him for an explanation, "I can't recall," he said vaguely Apiu raised his hand and smacked his forehead in frustration"What do you mean you can't recall?"

Immediately after he read the message, Dennis quickly called Apiu. As soon as the call entered, Apiu picked it up "Are they safe?", Dennis asked impatiently"Yes, they are. Meet us at the cabin" Apiu respondedDennis sighed gladly, glanced at his wristwatch, and said "I'll be there within the hour" then ended the callDennis walked onto the street and hailed a taxi. He was sure that with ties to Jon's case, the cops would also be looking for him. Till this whole was sorted out, he had to keep a low-profileThe taxi halted in front of him, and after he entered, he gave the man the location of a private home just miles away from the cabinAfter driving for some minutes, he finally arrived at the building, and upon handing the driver the fare, Dennis turned and searched around, making sure no one was following or watching him Upon confirming that it was safe, he called Apiu again and then headed toward the cabinApiu felt a sudden chill surging in his heart when he saw Dennis.

"There's no mark on the body!" The young officer exclaimed in shock"What are you talking about?!", Mark asked "We did forensics on the body, to determine what weapon the killer used, but we found nothing. There's no trace" he exclaimed Deshaun chuckled lightly, raised his hand, and gently tapped Mark, "See I told you, Mark, it wasn't Dennis. Take this as a win", he said and turned to give, but before he walked out of the room, he suddenly stopped and pat his head as if he had forgotten something"Oh, Mark. I almost forgot","I did see someone else here. While I was arriving, I saw him just pulling out of the driveway. It was your boss, Victor, you should be investigating instead" Deshaun said, then leaned closer and added"Maybe Victor found out that his partner Jon was trying to pull one over him and decided to kill him",Mark was stunned, he did not want to believe what Deshaun was suggesting, but before he could even express his shock.

"How did this happen?" Deshaun repeated walking towards Dennis"I don't know what happened. He said some things about my mother, which was the last thing I could remember. I don't know if I killed him or not" Dennis answeredWhen Deshaun saw him, a dash of gloom hovered over his head. He felt sympathy for his friend but knew that sooner or later, the cops would find Jon's body and if they had any suspicions that Dennis killed him, he would be thrown into prisonDeshaun walked closer and examined the sharp piercing in Jon's head, sighed gladly, and said "You need to get out here, go somewhere far, but don't skip town. I'm going to radio this in, the cops can't find you here when they arrive",Dennis stood up and nodded without a word, then turned around and walked back towards the bed where his wallet had fallen, picked it up, and as he was about to walk out, he stopped beside Deshaun and whispered "I hated everything about him, and wanted nothing more than for him to die by my hands,

Dennis felt slightly dejected staring at Jon's corpse on the ground. The last few minutes seemed like a blur with a vague recollection of what had happenedHesitantly, he moved closer to Jon's body and noticed a sharp piercing through his head. Dennis raised his hands and searched for any weapons he could have used to do thisAt this point, his heart strangely felt heavy. He knew he had killed Jon, but why was he suddenly feeling remorse for him?Just as he sighed, disheartened, his phone suddenly rang and Dennis retrieved the phone from his pocket to see that it was from DeshaunDennis didn't want to pick up the call as he stared at Deshaun's name on the screen. He had a good impression he knew what this was about. Afterall he was the one on the call with JonWhen Deshaun and the cops must have arrived at Mariner Bay tracing the signal, they would have realized that there were just tracing a fake signalIf that happened, knowing Deshaun, he would assume that Dennis must have known so

Immediately the receptionist gave Dennis the address, he shot her a warm smile, then turned and headed towards his uncle's roomUpon reaching the lobby, he took the elevator and went straight to his uncle's room on the fourth floorThe hotel's wide room spacing was due to the many restaurants, lounges, saunas, and gyms inside the buildingThis caused the rooms to be spaced unevenly in the building. This unique feature is what made Jon find this to be the perfect hideout spot for him, and made Dennis's arrival even less expectedAs he exited the elevator and walked towards the office, he was still pondering what could have been Diana's reasons for working with Jon in the first placeHowever, despite a long and considerable thought, nothing made sense. Still, he was grateful she had recognized Jon for who he truly was and had a change of mindSuddenly, a door behind him opened.It was Victor, he was about to head towards the elevator when he noticed a familiar figure as soon as he left

As soon as he heard those words, Dennis's face turned red with anger. This entire time he had been searching everywhere for who was responsible for his mother's death, when in truth it was his uncle all alongHe swallowed angrily trying to control his temper, then snorted coldly "You are going to wish you had stayed in jail, Jon"Jon chuckled before replying "Guess, it'll be pointless to ask you to turn over the company and house deeds and make this all simple, wouldn't it?","I'll be seeing you, Jon," Dennis said and then ended the call immediately.He turned towards Deshaun who had heard everything and had a sympathetic look towards him.Without saying anything, Dennis immediately ignited the car in a fit of rage and wanted to drive off when suddenly Deshaun grabbed his hand, removing it from the steering wheel"Dennis! Dennis! Listen to me!" He spoke hurriedly"This is what he wants, to throw you off your game. He knows we're on to him, so he's going to say anything to trigger you

I'm already taking everything I want",Dennis hesitated for a moment before replying "Come on Jon, we all know that is not what you really want, is it?""You know I've been thinking about it, trying to figure out why you've decided to show up now.
