Kensington family mansion.

Mrs. Marianne and Bridget were happily chatting together in the living room with 5-year-old Damian, Bridget's son, playing with his toys around the room.

"Mother, you don't have to worry about the son-in-law that I am going to bring for you. Trust me, I have a lot of rich men running after me; I am going to choose the most wealthy one." Bridget spoke to her mother sweetly.

Damian stopped playing and faced his mom. "Momma, does it mean I'm going to meet Daddy soon?" The kid asked, shining his small teeth.

"Yes, you're going to meet Daddy soon," Bridget answered, returning the sweet smile and arranging his curly blonde hair in place.

Damian ran away to play. "Daddy!" He began to happily shout the name around as he played with his toys.

Bridget and Mrs. Marianne laugh at the childish attitude of Damian.

"You know, I was just worried a little, but now that I am well assured about this, my heart is freed from worries." Mrs. Marianne resumed the discussion, lookin

A guard walks up and politely notifies a man, sitting comfortably on the couch with his legs resting on a stool with his eyes closed.Opening his eyes slowly to look at the guard, he said, "Two young men?" The man repeated. "Is it those two?" He said this to himself before getting up.The guard looked at the man with a strange expression without any word, not understanding what he meant by his words. Looking through the monitor screen, displaying different scenes around the house through the implanted CCTVs. He saw William and Bruce standing outside the mansion."Inform all the guards to extremely treat those two with respect, even more than me." The man instructed the guard, who was the overall head of guard.The man rushes out, leaving behind the guard with a frown on his face, thinking about the identities of the two for the wealthy man to even rush out like a mad man to meet the two.

    Bruce opened the big book, hoping to see interesting stuff written or images on it, but to his disappointment, the pages were blank. Flipping through the pages, all were blank without a single word. Observing the strange book, Bruce was confused about the book. The only thing about the book was the weird drawing on the thick book cover. "What the heck?" Bruce frown. "What is the use of the book? Truly mysterious." "I don't know anything about the book; no use," William answered. "A strange and mysterious book" Bruce gave William an eye sign of what-are-you-saying. "Come on, bro, don't look at me that way," William said, noticing the eye sign. "Sincerely, I don't know anything about that book." "What do you mean that you don't know? Is it not yours?" Bruce asked with his eyes on William. William breathed down, placing his hand on the back of his head and scratching his head childishly. "It's not mine; it was given to me by master before his disappearance," William quickly explai

    The next day arrived so quickly as the morning sun cast her radiant light on Liveton City, as the clock was moving at a high speed. William and Bruce were already up in the gym. There was a gym within the mansion vicinity; everything someone needed could be found inside the compound. Early in the morning, William and Bruce had already woken up for their daily exercise. They were always vigilant, making them not go into deep slumber. Their body systems were already used to the daily exercise, so it was now a normal thing for them. "Guess what?" William's body was completely soaked in sweat, still lifting a huge weight, with veins popping out of the surface of his muscles as if they were going to burst from inside. Despite the tired state of his body, there wasn't a look of struggle on his face as he forced his body to continue. Bruce was on the ground, lifting himself up and down with the support of his hands and performing push-ups. "97," he mumbled under his breath. "I can't g

And in the centre and other corners of it all, tables were set up, covered with a cloth of the deepest blue.At the very front of the hall, a large chair was placed silently there, waiting for the celebrant to majestically sit on it.Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...Mrs. Kensington gently walked into the hall, beautifully dressed in a complete white outfit; even her walking stick, echoing after her, was also white.Mrs. Kensington felt on top of the world as she majestically sat down on the chair.

As she staggers towards Catherine and William, saying rubbish.Catherine pushed past her, ignoring her.Already, people turned their heads in Catherine's direction when the drunk lady shouted at her."See who we have here?"

    Silentness took over the hall at the words spoken by Mrs. Kensington. People couldn't wait for them to go forward and then sign the divorce papers for William to get out of there. Catherine stood there with her head lowered, without the boldness to look at the face of her grandmother. On the other hand, William stood gallantly with his hands in his pocket, looking directly at Mrs. Kensington without any iota of fear in his eyes. "What are you two standing there for?" Mrs. Kensington beckoned on them angrily. "You're wasting my time; don't make me do it the hard way." Catherine slowly raised her head to look at Mrs. Kensington. "Grandma.... I... I... don't.. think I can do this." The words slowly left Catherine's mouth with her shaking. BOOM! People couldn't believe what they heard from Catherine. The silent hall became quieter; there wasn't a single noise that, if a pin dropped to the ground, they'd be able to hear. "What! You silly girl!" Mrs. Kensington's thunderous voice fi

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.

    Chapter 58: Dangerous situation

    "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,"
