William and Bruce returned to the presidential suite with the unconscious Catherine.Bruce hurriedly swiped the card against the card reader attached to the door, paving the way for them to enter the room.William immediately went for one of the rooms and gently placed the unconscious Catherine on the bed with a bitter smile plastered on his face.Getting hold of her wrist, William felt her pulse before sighing in relief after confirming that nothing was wrong. "Her breath is normal; there is no sign of danger to her life.""She is drunk; the strong smell of the alcohol fills her breath." He concluded. "This is weird of her.""What led to that, getting herself drunk like this?" "The Catherine, I know, wouldn't drink herself to this extent as she isn't a fan of alcohol. What happened between she and that bastard?"William was immersed in his thought, her last statement when they accidentally met each other flashing through his head again. 'Go and meet your woman because I can't waste m
William's eyes opened abruptly as a strong ache filled his body. He struggled to move to raise his upper torso as his body drowned in serious pain."Ouch!" A painful cry escaped from his mouth as he felt a sharp pain spread across his body, sending a cold chill down his spine.His eyes moved around the dimly lit room as he surveyed his environment."Where am I?" He asked himself, as he couldn't find the place familiar to his memory."Ahhhh.. F*CK!" He couldn't help but yell out in pain as tears escaped from his eyes. He felt a sharpness inside his head when he tried to remember.His head has swollen due to the rod hit on his head.He tried to raise his hand, but he couldn't, making him look down to see what was happening.It was at this moment that he realised that he was tied tight to a pillar in the centre of the dark room."Bullsh*t.. What happened to me?" He exclaimed, trying to struggle himself out of the strong rope used to tie him, but he couldn't; instead, he was hurting himse
Valentina and Tony rushed into the hotel through the secret door. They were already on their way home after Valentina went for her late appointment. Due to the commotion in the hotel that could result in a big headache for her, Valentina instructed Tony to reverse and immediately go to the hotel. 'How did this happen? What got those two furious to go against Thomas Hidalgo?' Those questions have troubled her heart ever since she got the information. Valentina and Tony enter the elevator for quick arrival rather than using the stairs. Tony quickly inputted the floor number of Thomas Hidalgo lodge after confirming from the two men he assigned to keep a lookout for the situation and make sure the commotion wasn't noticed by any third party. *BING* Soon, the elevator movement stopped, announcing their arrival at the floor. Valentina came out at a fast pace, more like a run with a plain look on her face, while Tony followed behind like a loyal personal bodyguard. "What do you think

'Is this some kind of prank or what?' Ethan stared at William in unbelief. There wasn't an influential or wealthy family that went by the name "Winchester" in the country. He was expecting to receive an heir from a well-known, wealthy family, but reality proved to be different. 'Just some broke ass nigga that want to show off and runway at the mention of the price,' Ethan concluded in his heart. "Oh, sorry for my manners," Ethan said, cupping his hands together as he slightly bowed his head in apology. "Please, Mr. William, have your seat." Feigning a smile on his face, Ethan pointed to the available chair opposite him. The smile was a fake one; he doesn't want to give the wrong impression to William, even though he already knew in his heart that he was a broke a$$ nigga. "Thank you, Mister Ethan. I appreciate," William happily sat down, the slight disdain on Ethan's face not going unnoticed by him, but he ignored it. "Welcome, Mr. William, I have been expecting you," Ethan said
"Urgh! My head hurts." Catherine let out a weak voice, barely more than a whisper. As she regained consciousness, her eyelids began to open, slowly regaining her vision. Her head felt heavy, and pain was circulating around her body. Struggling to manage to sit up, she immediately held onto her head, which seemed to have a weird, big weight, as if she were carrying an invisible, heavy load on her head. The small effect of the drug was still there, soon to completely fade away. "How come I'm in such a mess?" She questioned herself, trying to think. Suddenly, images started to pour into her head in a rush of what happened—how she found her way to the bar and began to get herself drunk—only for a strange sensation to take partial control of her body, and then she passed out in the process. What she remembered again was waking up and shockingly seeing Thomas's face, and then she began to suffer under that beast's hand because she didn't cooperate before she passed out again. Recalli
"And so what? What if this important personality has already taken an interest in it?" William jeered at the startled Ethan.'Jeez!' Ethan exclaimed in his heart.William didn't even cower cowardly in fright.Ethan's eyes were focused on him, and he noticed there wasn't even a slight shift in his expression when he said those words, like he was talking about an ordinary person here.The McDonald's family was a wealthy family with a big name in the country, even among those top influential families.Ever since William came here, he has tried several ways to annoy him and drive him away, but it was more difficult than he thought.He already studied William and found nothing special about him; even the way he was dressed was ordinary, which speaks poorly of him.Ethan McDonald was currently confused about what to do after hearing William's last statement."Sir, pardon me; the person in question is a well-known influential personality," Ethan replied after some silence, still trying to kn
William and Bruce walked together out of the newly bought house with a satisfied smile on their faces. After going around the mansion, everything was intact, and there was no sort of danger that would pose a threat to their lives.They were handed over a small map containing the house plan and all the information about the house.It came as a shock to them when they discovered that there were several underground rooms as well. Without the house's map, they wouldn't have easily found out about this discovery.There was even a control room with different big monitor screens where one could observe the entire environment through the CCTV around the house.Incredible! This building was a perfect one!Ethan and the middle-aged man, who was his assistant, have long left the vicinity after the deal with William; they already sold out the mansion, so they don't have anything to do with it again as they're no longer in possession of the property.William and Bruce were now in full control of t
Meanwhile, at the police station, everywhere was bustling with everybody busy with one or two tasks. They were all focused on their work, not even having the chance to have free talk with their colleagues except those who were working together or exchanging useful information.A young man not in uniform walked into the main hall of the police department with an ID hanging on his neck, indicating that he was a cop there.Walking inside the busy hall with a tired look on his face, his white T-shirt was soaked with sweat, a testament of the long day he had endured."Detective Deng, Captain requests you immediately report to his office when you're back," another cop said to him after they exchanged greetings.Without any hesitation, he made his way to the Captain's office.Knock! 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
Vrooom!On the road, a power bike was traveling at high speed. 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
"WTF! What's wrong this time around?" William felt uncomfortable as he looked at the notification that just arrived.He quickly clicked on the notification, bringing him to a fresh page.[System alert!!! There is an emergency within your marked user location. Click here to view Catherine's location]"Hope nothing happens to her," William silently said to himself through a tense tone as he looked at the page that he had specially designed for Catherine's sake.The reason for creating the private website was to keep himself updated about Catherine and easily notified anytime there was danger around.Earlier that night, when they were attacked by those gangsters while coming back from Catherine's granny's birthday. He secretly got access into her phone and activated a locator signal inside it.He already had the thought to do that to keep a better lookout for her; he couldn't afford for her to be in any trouble that would endanger her life.Seeing the expression on William's face, Henry a
"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. How the f*ck did they know I was going to attack right at this
"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,"
