After the confrontation from his step brother, Arthur was a little enraged and decided not to go home. Since he won't be going to work the next day, he decided to hang out somewhere and have a few drinks. Moreover, there were still a few hours before midnight.Arthur sat in forlorn taking sips from his bottle of beer. He was one who only takes alcohol occasionally. However, it had been a very long time since he drank beer. For the two years he worked at the hotel, he never tasted alcohol because he was afraid it'll lead to his sack when his manager found out. It might cause him to get a hangover and wake up late for work. Arthur didn't want anything like that unless he was ready to live in the streets.Taking one sip from his drink, Arthur let out a deep sigh as his thoughts wandered. He just remembered the last time he argued with father. The man was so enraged at him that he didn't even let him defend himself."Honey, If you let him get away with this, it means that you're indulging
Lifting his face, Arthur saw a slim figure standing before him. The lady had a nice body curve that gave her black gown a good fitting. She had a beautiful smile which captivated Arthur. He managed to force a smile at her and replied."Do I really look troubled?"The lady nodded her head. "Yeah, I noticed you from my seat and saw that you were clenching your fists so hard and biting your lip. You seem to be lost and I was worried that you'd hurt yourself."Arthur hummed at the lady. He was oblivious of what he was doing while his thoughts went back on a painful memory. He had left everything for Bryan and his mother yet they won't let him be."I… ugh… I'm fine. Thank you for your concern." Arthur said and took a sip from his drink while tilting his head. He was waiting for the lady to go away but she still stood there.He lifted his face and his gaze met with the lady who was still standing."Miss, Is there anything you want me to help you with?" Arthur asked but the lady only smiled
With his mouth agape, Arthur stood from his chair as he watched Jesse approach them. Turning to the lady beside him, he asked. "So Jesse is your sister?"The lady nodded, she was seemingly confused. "Do you also know her?"Arthur nodded his head. "She's my boss at the mall and also my friend."Jenny gave Arthur a puzzled look. Before she could say anything more, Jesse stood before them and was somewhat confused. She was wondering how her sister and Arthur became close. She hadn't introduced them before."Ugh, what is going on here?"Turning to Arthur, she asked. "Arthur, what are you doing here? And, have you two known each other before?"Arthur only shook his head. He was confused as well. What a coincidence. He didn't know that the lady he had been having a talk with was Jesse's sister. What if he had told her about his problems and his past. Some people tend to freely speak about their life when they have some alcohol in their system. Arthur was grateful that he was not one to dri
"How did you know the kind of vehicle they were riding?" Jesse took out her phone to check online. Maybe someone had made a video of the incident. "Are you sure you didn't see it online? Although I didn't notice anyone making a video. They were all so angry at the lady that they were all focused on finding out what would happen."Jesse kept scanning through the social media to see if there was any video like that online.Jenny was confused because she was just learning of it.Seeing the lady seriously scanning through her phone, Arthur spoke up. "I'm not sure if it's on social media.""What really happened?" Jenny asked as she was still puzzled but her sister didn't answer her."So tell me, how did you know about the car they drove on since it isn't in the media?" Jesse directed her question to Arthur and there was nothing else he had to do but lie. If he hadn't opened his big mouth to talk, the question would not have come up.Letting out a deep sigh, Arthur said to her. "I think we
"What?" Janet said, her voice was raised that if there were people around, they'd turn their necks in the couple's direction."You guys want to get rid of him, why?""Shhhh." Bryan quickly hushed her before anyone would hear what she said. Although no one was seen on the beach, he needed to be extra careful. Janet's mouth was still agape as she gazed at Bryan. She could be anything else but a murderer."Why would you want to do such a sinister thing? I'm not going to be part of such evil because I'm not ready to spend the rest of my life in prison. If anything happens to him, the police would start investigating and all the evidence would be pointed at you and your mother. Remember, you guys are the reason he was thrown out and disinherited. Please, that's a no for me."Janet made her points clear and Bryan tilted his head."Calm down J, we're just going to scare him so he won't come closer. Remember, if he comes back home and gets to share the properties with me, you won't get so mu
Arthur didn't really have plans for the next day since he won't be going to work. However, he decided to rest and worry about it after he woke up. He just had dinner and was about to retire for bed when his phone beeped. It was the special phone that Axel gave to him. He was the only man who had been reaching him on it. However, if he wanted to call the man, he'd use the cheaper phone he got himself. He was just being cautious.Tapping on his phone screen, he saw that it was a message from Axel which read. "Your grandfather wants you to come to the house tomorrow."Arthur was stunned to see the message. Maybe there was something important the old Mr wanted to tell him. Well, he was going to find out when he got there.Swiftly, he typed a response and sent it to the man before saying to himself. "Axel didn't send me the time I'm expected to go to the mansion."Arthur quickly waved the thought aside, he wouldn't be chased away anytime he arrived at the place. It was also his house and
"Bryan! What happened to your head?" Rosaline's question caused him to stop in his tracks. Turning around, he scratched his head and stammered. "I-I sli… I slipped and fell on the floor." Standing to her feet, Rosaline started towards Bryan and stopped before him. Lifting her hand over his head, she tilted it so her eyes could see the injury well. It was just a small patch at the back of his head but Rosaline didn't see it as such. "How and where did it happen? Tell me the truth. Did you get into a fight with anyone?"Bryan shook his head. "No Mom, I just told you it was an accident and it happened at Janet's place."Rosaline's face suddenly turned icy. 'That girl might be my Son's doom. I have to do something about it.'"What are you thinking mom?"Rosaline glared at her Son and said. " That girl will cause you so much trouble in the future if you don't drop her."Bryan was stunned to hear that from his mother. He was so obsessed with Janet that he can't even imagine living without
Arthur quickly got prepared to go see his grandparents at the Manson. Since he had nothing to do at home, he left not long after he woke up. His grandparents were having breakfast when he walked into the house. Although he only came to the place once, the security quickly recognized him and opened the gate for him.The domestic staff were also not left out as they kept bowing to him in salutation. Arthur felt like a Prince in his castle and as well felt awkward. The greeting mode was all new to him.As they greeted him, he only nodded at them with a smile on his face."Arthur, come and join us. You came just on time for breakfast." It was Vanessa Ramon who called out to him and directed him to a chair. She couldn't deny that he was greatly missed by her. Vannesa had just found out about him after many years. Now, she couldn't get to spend time with him because he was busy with work."Welcome home Son." Carl said as he took a sip from his mug."Grandpa, Grandma."Arthur greeted his gr
