Mrs. Kensington angrily stomped her foot on the floor, silently cursing William and Catherine for rejecting to sign the divorce papers. Not only that, but also for ruining her happiness on her special day.The hall was slightly surprised at William's ability to deal with two security men within seconds. It was an incredible feat."Grandma, I brought you this set of diamond earrings that you always wanted in the past. Each stone chosen to match your grace," Anderson stood up with a big smile on his face as he brought out a silver shining box."Mrs. Kensington, I present to you these mansion documents and a brand new car outside worth about five hundred thousand dollars.""........"".........."After the commotion died down, her grandchildren, family friends, and others continued to present their gifts, but it wasn't as lively as it was in the beginning. Mrs. Kensington was no longer in a happy mood as she faked a smile just to please them.***William and Catherine stormed out of the
A red Lamborghini raced down the lonely road late into the night, with hardly any other vehicles in sight except for occasional police patrols.Since leaving the Kensington family manor, they had been unusually quiet, exchanging not a single word.The silence felt eerie, with neither of them making eye contact or attempting conversation, lost in their own thoughts.Out of the corner of his eye, William noticed the sadness and worry in her expression, causing a pang in his chest.However, William didn't dwell on the situation too deeply. He wasn't much of a talker, especially when it came to sweet-talking a lady. But when he had something on his mind, he would speak up without hesitation.William stole occasional glances at Catherine, noticing the way her fingers tapped nervously against her thigh.'Damn, this is awkward,' Catherine thought, clicking her tongue in frustration. 'He didn't even try to break the silence, which is unlike him.'As she secretly observed the driving William,
"Python, take her to the car," the leader commanded one of his boys with his eyes on Catherine.The boy who dragged William forcefully out of the car answered, then walked towards Catherine.William stood there, still, without making any move to save Catherine, as he watched the gangster pull her with him towards a van on the other side of the road.Catherine was trying to struggle herself out of the grip of the boy, but he was too strong for her, overpowering her.Catherine looked at William with unwillingness in her eyes as she was pulled away. She was worried for herself, but even more for William.Her family influence can get her out of the hands of these dangerous gangsters, while for William, she felt like these people came here purposely for him."Don't dare touch her, just keep her in place and seal her mouth in case," The leader gave another instruction to his underling. "We'll join you after dealing with this bastard."Phyton forcefully dragged the unwilling Catherine away i
"Please, let us go unharmed..... You don't have to really do this," Catherine continuously pleaded as Python dragged the unwilling Catherine with him."Please..." Getting to the van, he opened the back door of the van."Shut up, bitch!" He yelled.Phyton angrily pushed her roughly into the van without considering she might get injured.Catherine landed heavily inside the van, but she didn't care about that as she continued to beg the gangster. Phyton jumped into the van and then closed the door from the inside.'What did I do deserve all this?' Catherine thought to herself. 'All I wanted was peace of mind and happiness for myself and kids but life is unfair to me,' She cried in her heart. *Sob* *Sob* *Sob*Tears welled up in Catherine's eyes, and she let them drop freely to the ground."I promise...*Sob* ... I promise to pay you handsomely if you let me out of here unharmed," Catherine said to the gangster before her, her voice breaking down in pain. Phyton paid deaf ear to her pl
Two days later.At the Hidalgo's mansion.Mr and Mrs. Hidalgo were seated in the relaxation center beside their parking lot that had different cars.Mrs. Hidalgo was a very beautiful lady."I'm going to make the Kensington family pay for what happened to Thomas. No one dares the Hidalgos and goes scot-free," Mr. Hidalgo said to his wife, with his voice containing his anger.For three days, Mr. Hidalgo was still super angry over the incident that happened to Thomas."Sweetheart, we'll surely get back at the Kensington family since that useless girl refused my son's offer and even made him admitted into that damn hospital," Mrs. Hidalgo dropped the magazine she was reading, also angry.Just as they were discussing within themselves.Three cars drove into the compound, two jeeps with a black BMW in their center drove into the compound.They stopped at the parking lot.As the vehicles came to a halt, the doors of the jeeps swung open, and eight guards emerged in unison.One of the guards
"Catherine, you don't know what you're getting yourself into," Marianne yelled at her daughter, anger on her face. "Can't believe that you still have feelings for that embarrassment of a man!"Right now, the whole house was boiling with Marianne's anger, as she shouted in great dismay.Luckily, the kids weren't home right now; they went to school."Mom, just leave me alone already with my own decision! I said it and I'll say it again, I wouldn't continue to play to the tone of anyone, not anymore," Catherine's voice rang out loud, not giving in to her mom. "I'm fucking tired!" She said, holding her head in frustration.On the couch, Bridget was busy with her phone, while chewing gum without any concern."You......" Marianne pointed at Catherine. "You, I can see that you're foolish. Not even considering your family, deciding to continue to be with that poor trash, who isn't even worth you, stop being cheap."Catherine was frustrated at everything, ever since after that day of her grand
William could be seen in deep thought, sitting in a small garden filled with different flowers, with a small table before him and a glass of wine on it. He was enjoying the cool breeze brushing against his skin.This was the mansion he bought from Ethan McDonald for millions of dollars. After returning from the birthday party two days ago, William decided to leave the mansion managed by Henry and return to his own.Bruce stood outside the garden, looking at William with a thoughtful expression. "What happened?" he asked himself. Without hesitation, Bruce chose to approach him, to find out.Upon reaching him, Bruce sat down in the chair next to William. William didn't even glance at him; he was lost in thought.Bruce sighed, he knew something was wrong; the usually cheerful William suddenly seemed sad and unhappy which was unusual. He noticed this ever since that night he returned from the birthday party; there was a sadness in his eyes."What's wrong?" Bruce asked, his heart troubl
Inside the Hidalgo mansion, the whole family was seated in a well-furnished room with a round table in the middle. Four strangers could be seen among them."Hehehe!" Mr. Hidalgo burst into sudden laughter, tears welling up in his eyes.Mrs. Hidalgo and Thomas looked at him with odd expressions, shaking their heads.The four men seated around the table fixed their eyes on him without daring to mention a word about his sudden outburst."Hehehe!" Mr. Hidalgo continued to laugh, his eyes turning red from the laughter. He then brought out a white handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the tears away."I can't imagine the look on the face of the Kensington family right now, especially the old boss lady of the family," he said amidst his laughter, lowering his voice."Dad, I'd love to extract my own revenge on them," Thomas said with a wide grin on his face, thinking of how he was going to deal with Catherine.Mr. Hidalgo faced his child with a smile.Thomas was his only child, and he wouldn'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,"
