William and Bruce sat down inside Valentina's office as they faced her.

Valentina decided to personally attend to them despite the fact that she was exhausted; she didn't want to unknowingly offend two powerful men.

"Good day, gentlemen," Valentina gently greeted as she sat with her attention on the two. "It's an honour having you two come here."

William and Bruce nod their heads.

"The pleasure it's all yours for inviting us in as your guests," William smiled warmly as if what happened outside was nothing.

"No, no, no, no," Valentina quickly objected. "I should be the one thanking you two instead because of what took place outside that shouldn't have happened. I am Valentina, in charge of this hotel," She said, stretching forth her hand for a handshake.

"Oh, William, and this is Bruce." He accepted the hand as they introduced themselves.

After exchanging pleasantries among themselves.

"Now, let's get down to business," William said, clearing his throat as he went straight to th

    William and Bruce were able to get to the presidential suite under the guidance of one of the butlers assigned to them.William's placed the card into the card reader door, and the door automatically opened on its own."Welcome, esteemed guest," a mechanical voice said from the side of the door. The door was a computerised one, so it was already programmed for such stuff.William and Bruce walked inside the luxurious room that was sparkling white, with everything inside a touch of white.The butler remained outside, slightly bowing his head. "If you need anything, I'll be outside here awaiting your command, getting it done," he was extremely respectfully to the two because he knew for one to lodge in the presidential suite, they must be wealthy.The door automatically closes on its own.William looked around the luxurious room, which was sparkling white, and the air was filled with a wonderful scent that refreshed him and sent a sweet sensation down his body."This is so cool!" He exc

    Catherine turned back, only to see someone she wasn't expecting. William and Bruce were dressed in a neat white top and trousers as they walked in their direction from the left corridor. 'What is he doing here?' Catherine questioned herself. 'Maybe they are workers here, but from the type of clothes on them, they don't look like employees. Meaning, the words of my mom and Bridget are true, and he left me for another woman, as the William I know can't afford to lodge in this kind of expensive hotel.' Catherine concluded after inspecting the two as they came close to her. With a pained expression on her face. "Please, continue to lead the way," she said to the man at her front as they walked away. William rushed to get to her as he saw her walking away. "Catherine, wait." Bruce shook his head for his boss; he knew that William deeply loved Catherine and was part of the reason he retired from the "Supreme Military Corps," even after becoming the supreme general respected by everyone.

    Catherine forced herself to focus on the task at hand, making a mental checklist of everything that needed to be done. It wasn't as easy as being said. She tried to remain calm and composed in her heart, but she could feel frustration kicking inside her since she saw William here, and she couldn't describe the feeling of that moment. 'Catherine, calm down and focus on what you are here for,' she told herself. She took a deep breath and pushed open the door, entering the meeting room, the air thick with the scent of expensive perfume. Inside the meeting room, Thomas Hidalgo, the young heir of the Hidalgo empire, stood beside a large window overlooking the city skyline, dressed in an expensive silver suit. He was a tall, handsome man with a piercing gaze and an air of authority around him as he stood still with his hands in his pocket. He slowly turned to face Catherine when he heard the opening and closing sounds of the door. "We see again, Mrs. Catherine, as it has been a while,"

    Thomas was someone who was ruthless in his deeds until he got whatever he wanted, no matter the cost. "Keep an eye on her and report every single detail to me when it's necessary," Thomas said furiously to a huge man kneeling before him with his head down while still pouring more wine for himself. This was the second bottle he finished after the meeting with Catherine. *BANG* "Ahhhhh." He hit the table. *SCATTER* *SCATTER* With anger still present within him, he grabs the empty wine bottle and throws it hard towards the other end of the room. *THUD* "Catherine, since you don't want it the easy way, then I'll use the iron-fisted method." He paused, then got hold of the other empty bottle and repeated the same thing. "I'll so much deal with you in such a way that you'll wish that death take you away." After draining down the remaining content in the cup, he also threw the glass cup away furiously. *SCATTER* *THUD* The sound of glass breaking rang out in the room as he clenched

"Time to act!"*CRACK* *CRACK*The crackling sound of his knuckles and neck was heard as he readied himself."I enjoy doing this for young boss always." With a sly thought in his head, he knew if he got this successfully done, he would get some credits from his boss.******Unaware of the incoming danger, Catherine slowly continued to drink.This was the second bottle she was taking, and it's already halfway finished. She ignored the fact that it going to take effect on her as she nods her head sideways, enjoying the cool music playing in the background."Hey lady," A young man approached her and took the available seat near her. "I have been watching you from a corner, drinking here all by yourself."Catherine looked at the man and ignored him, returning her gaze to her precious wine.Seeing that he had been ignored, the young man didn't g

Catherine was passing through a severe headache as if her brain was going to burst out any moment and her body was out of her control which was strange to her.'Is the effect of me drinking too much alcohol?''Why are there a lot of holes on the ground? the ground is shaking, earthquake?'

    "Finally, I won!" Bruce cheered as he danced around, directly drinking from the wine bottle. "It wasn't easy winning against you; damn, making it 6-1.""You were a bit lucky, if not, I could have given you a clean sheet but it seems like you buckled up not to allow such," William smiled, watching Bruce dance around childishly."I'll go sick for days if I can't win a single one in any of the games, but I was able to win one in this chess game." Bruce reveals his white teeth as he smiles.For the past hours, William and Bruce have been busy playing games, challenging each other, but no matter how much Bruce tried playing, he wasn't able to win a single one in any of the games. Pool game, checker, backgammon, risk, and stratego, but he wasn't able to win except finally in the chess game after losing good six times."You know I'm good at these games; I have played them a lot in the past, so against you who don't have time for games, there is a probability that I'll win since I am used to

    Meanwhile, at the police station, everywhere was bustling with everybody busy with one or two tasks.

Knock! Knock!"Come in," a deep voice said from inside.Entering inside, across the table, a middle-aged man could be seen focused on the computer in front of him, his hands speedily clicking across the wide keyb

    The next morning, news of the Kensingtons being attacked by bandits was all over the news. People were surprised by this; thoughts of who dared to send these bandits to attack them filled their heads, but one thing they knew was that the Kensingtons might have offended someone or a family more wealthy and powerful than them. The public doesn't know about the current bad terms between the Hidalgos and Kensingtons. In fact, the news about Thomas being attacked in the "Luxe Fernandez Hotel" was hidden from the public and only known by a few people.On a popular TV channel known as ZeeTv, a show was airing. Three presenters were on stage, two female and one male in the middle."Strange that the cops didn't arrive on time, until twenty minutes later," the female presenter on the left side of the male said with a thoughtful expression."It seems like the attack was well-planned because it was reported that the moment these people attacked, the network suddenly went down and they couldn't

    "What the hell?... So you're telling us that your daughter disappeared into thin air?"The bandits were pissed off.Pow!One of them shot the bleeding guard, completely killing him off.Everyone gasped in fear when they saw this, terrified as they were afraid of what would happen to them. Instantly, they all caught cold, shivering at the heavy smell of blood."Do you all think we're joking here? If you don't reveal to us where Catherine is, every minute, we're going to kill one person until she is provided."The tension in the air right now was high; no one wants to die at the cold, bloody hands of these wicked souls, who were ready to kill everyone.Marianne and Bridget thought about why the bandits were even looking for Catherine. They knew the kind of person she was; she wasn't troublesome, making them wonder how she could have offended these gangsters."Ahhhhh!" Suddenly, the loud, deep voice of someone crying out in pain drifted over to the ears of everyone."What's happening up

    After Bruce came to help handle the bandits outside, William felt relief and immediately rushed off to get to the main deal. "I pray I make it in time. Please be safe and sound for me, Catherine," William silently continuously said to himself as he ran towards the back of the mansion. Checking his phone, he noticed that there was no network, the same as it was on Henry's side. Meaning it wasn't a coincidental attack but was planned for them to use the same trick here too. Unfortunately, they didn't know who they were dealing with, William wasn't the powerless weakling of before; now, he was at a higher level than anyone thought. "After this, I'll make sure I deal with the bastards involved in this," he already had two people in mind, Tony McAllister and the Hidalgos. He already knew about the Hidalgo's revenge on the Kensingtons; it was all over the news. He did some digging into the matter and discovered that the Hidalgos were the ones behind everything. But William wasn't going

There was no joy on William's face as he raced the bike speedily on the road.William was riding the bike crazily, with the heavy wind brushing against his face.Even some road users stopped, taking their vehicles to the side and allowing him to pass when they saw his rough mode of driving.Many rained insults at him, but William didn't mind; his head was occupied with getting to his destination right away.Soon, after some minutes, he arrived close to Catherine's house.From a distance, he could see two big buses park beside the Kensington's gate, and several boys armed with guns vigilantly stood there.Those boys task was to make sure that no one came in or went out during the operation.Vrooom!The bandits outside heard the sound of a fast bike approaching in their direction.Without any hesitation, with their guns set ready for things like this, they began to fire at William.William was someone who always plans ahead

    "Mr. Hidalgo, we're deeply sorry concerning your son. Catherine is facing the consequences for her actions," Mrs. Kensington spoke with Mr. Hidalgo over the phone, her expression unpleasant as she apologized to him.She couldn't believe that one day she would be apologizing to someone younger than her.Mrs. Kensington was senior to Mr. Hidalgo but in this world, power and wealth are what are considered, not age or seniority. Well, she had to do it, or else her family would be doomed. The Hidalgos were wealthy and influential around town and beyond, so getting other families or companies to do their bidding wasn't difficult.Reporting to the police wouldn't solve it; it would only worsen the situation."Is this all you have to say?" Mr. Hidalgo replied angrily. "Then, get out but expect more feedback from me."Mrs. Kensington frowned when she heard him. 'Catherine, I'll deal with you so much,' she cursed in her heart."Then, how about compensation?" She asked thoughtfully.There was si

    In a tall building, a muscular man lay on the floor, his eyes focused on the binoculars attached to the gun set up in front of him."There they are," he whispered to himself, smiling and chewing gum joyfully while nodding to the beat of the music playing through his earphones. "Easy mission; thought the targets would be more challenging."A minute later, he positioned himself again, getting a clear view of his target.Pow!He pulled the trigger with a smile, already envisioning success.But his smile froze as nothing happened; the bullet missed his target. Confusion clouded his face."What? How's that possible?" the attacker asked himself, confused, as he looked through the binoculars, which he could no longer see the target as they had gone into hiding after the miss."Sh*t, did I miss? No, I've been doing this for too long to miss easily," he thought, finding it strange."Wait, they suddenly went down at the last moment.

    "What do you need my help for? Just go ahead and tell me about it, I'll try my very best to accomplish it as long it's something within my capacity."Henry humbly spoke in respect, walking alongside William and Bruce, heading towards the mansion. Even though he knew he was older than William, he didn't allow that to get to his head and treat him harshly. He didn't know William's identity, but he was sure it was a powerful one."Help me look into the Hidalgo's companies, everything about them," William requested.Henry nodded, then called out to one of the guards around."Get to the head security and tell him to see me immediately," he dismissed the guard after instructing him.Entering the mansion, the moment they stepped inside, the door swung open, and someone came running towards them."Hey, uncles. You left unannounced, it's not fair," Anabel said with a saddened face as she expressed her disappointment at their unannounced departure."Ahhhh, come on, we left due to an emergency,"
