Arthur wouldn't want the news about Rosaline's death to get to the media so he decided to call Axel to deal with it. If the media found out about the unfortunate death of Rosaline, they'll flock around the house and ask questions.Because of Raremix mills, the McCains’ family were little popular so it won't be a surprise to see several journalists show up to ask questions. Since the police were still in the case, he'll leave them to do their job of finding the culprit.As soon as Arthur dropped the call with Axel, he called his grandfather.“Grandpa, I called this late to inform you about the unfortunate incident that happened a while ago in my father's house. My stepmom was accidentally killed by her son, Bryan. I want you to convey the unfortunate news to my Nana.”“Oh, I'm so sorry about that. Tell your Dad that I sent my condolences. I'll also inform your grandma.” Carl Ramon sympathized with his grandson.Because there was nothing much to say, Arthur ended the call. Bryan's name
Stella hurried to the door and opened it. “What do you want?” She was furious that a mere neighbor got them so anxious and they thought it was the police.The woman who was yelled at decided to change her mind. She wanted to borrow some eggs since she ran out of groceries and the shops were all closed. The woman was in such a hurry to come home and cook that she forgot to buy groceries. Stella was the only close door neighbor of hers so she decided to borrow some and return them the next day after getting the groceries. Unfortunately, Stella didn't look like someone who would be willing to lend her some.She seemed furious and it looked as if she was angry at someone. All the woman did was knock on her neighbor's door which was not a crime.Seeing how Stella was acting, she decided not to say the reason for her knocking. “Um, I wanted to… Nevermind.”Without another word, the neighbor turned around and left, leaving Stella stunned.“Don't you come knocking on my door ever again if yo
“Are you trying to label my daughter an accomplice? Look, officers, neither I nor my daughter know anything about Bryan or his whereabouts. We were as shocked as everyone else when we saw the news last night.” Stella quickly stood up for her daughter while Janet tilted her head and held back her words.She would have insulted the man for asking her such a stupid question. To Janet, the officers were deviating from what they should do and were doing something else. If they weren't police officers, Janet would have given them a piece of her mind.They would have seen her true colors. The men would have gotten themselves drenched in water if Janet had her way.“We're sorry Mrs Hudson, it's just that we can't be complacent. We have to leave no stone unturned in this investigation. Anyone could be harboring Bryan or aiding his escape.”“Well, we know nothing about Bryan or his whereabouts. I think you should go somewhere else and ask those questions. You can ask some of his friends.” Stell
Nick remembered his last encounter with Janet. The latter had disrespected him because he was friends with Arthur. She spoke so rudely to him and the man wondered if he had unconsciously offended her in the past.“Sir, I um… I'm here to see Arthur. I'm sure you know who I'm talking about. Have you seen him around?”Nick could not help but laugh at her. She must be joking. Even if Arthur was around, he wouldn't be so stupid to call him for her.After casting the lady a disgusting look, Nick shook his head. “You have some nerve coming to me to inquire about Arthur.”“Look, Miss whatever your name is, I don't care.”“It's Janet. Yeah, my name is Janet.” She said to him,“Have you gone deaf and did not hear what I just said? I don't care about who you are or what your name is. I'll advise you to get lost from here right now.”Janet was without a word. After a moment of silence, she apologized to Nick. “Sir, I'm so sorry for what happened last time. I don't know what came over me. Look, I
Speechless, Janet stood at a spot for a while and waited for the officers to drive out of the place before hurrying away. She got into her car and zoomed off afterwards.Meanwhile, Bryan could not leave the shores of Vienna because the police were on the lookout for him. He decided to leave the city and made his way to a province which was very far from the city.Since he could no longer access his bank account or that of his late mum's, he decided to make do with the little cash he had. While in disguise, he was able to evade some local policemen and finally got himself a place to stay. It was an abandoned building and a place where people rarely visit. Bryan decided to settle at the place but was stunned to learn that it was already occupied. Inside the place were people's belongings, some mattresses and kitchen equipment. It was proof that the place was inhabited by someone or some people. Bryan kept wondering the kind of people who would be staying in such a dirty and abandoned
Bryan swallowed hard and kept gaping at the men.“Did you hear what I just said?” The gang leader snapped at him and he nodded.“Y – Yes. Uh, but I don't know what you people do.”The man chuckled. “You'll find out soon enough.”“Can I refuse?”“You don't have the luxury of making a decision now. You're here already and you can't leave anymore unless you're a spy.” The gang leader said domineeringly. He was the authority at the place and whatever he said must be.“I'm not a spy. Everything I just said is the truth.” Bryan said in defense.“Then prove that you're saying the truth by joining our gang. Well, there's no way you can refuse unless you want to be dead.”Bryan didn't know what to do anymore. He had just been given two choices.It's either he joins their gang in whatever they were doing or he dies.However, what was the point of running away from the law and running into the hands of people who would end his life. He didn't want to die. At least not yet.He was left with no ot
Jesse didn't want them to make a fuss at such a place. It was inappropriate and that was why she left Janet behind and started towards the place of the funeral.Turning around, Arthur saw Jesse approaching him. Instantly, his face lit up with smiles and he waved at her. Jesse managed to smile back at him before going to meet with him.It was just the priest, Gregg and some of his staff who were in attendance. Arthur was standing beside his father when Jesse came and stood beside him.“Once again, accept my condolences.” Jesse muttered and Arthur nodded his head. She didn't know anyone else at the place except for Arthur. It was the reason she consoled him alone.Since the funeral mass was still in progress, Arthur didn't introduce Jesse to his father yet. That would be after everything was over.Jesse, on the other hand, did not ask. She didn't want to disrupt the mass and only had it in her mind to ask later.Although she suspected the man standing next to Arthur to be his father.Gr
“Jess, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. I just have to tell her off.”Turning around, Arthur saw that his father was still waiting for him in the car.“Come on, Jess.”Arthur led her to her car leaving Janet staring at them without a word. She was angry and envious of Jesse and also glaring at her.“Thank you so much for coming. I really appreciate it. At first when you told you were coming, I didn't know that you meant it.” Arthur said happily.Jess smiled back. “I keep to my words and I'm not a liar like you.”Arthur swallowed hard. He didn't see that coming. Jesse was still angry at him. She was yet to forgive him just like she already said.“I'm sorry for lying to you. I didn't mean it, Jess. And I thought you've already forgiven me.”“I have forgiven you. However, to forgive is not to forget.”“Why won't you try and forget about it?.”“Well, it won't be easy to forget about the past. Although I've forgiven you.”From the corner of his eyes, Arthur saw Janet pass by and went to
