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

    The file that was handed over to him by his grandfather contained the twins' illegal activities. Since he was yet unknown as the new owner of the mall, his grandfather helped him get rid of them so he could still continue his job. Surely, there must be something else he could still find out going on in the place.With a smirk on his face, Arthur turned around to the direction of the exiting sisters but they were already out of sight. His thoughts wandered back on the young man that had earlier avoided them. Turning to face Nick. he commented, "Louis was also fired, was he not?"Nick nodded in approval. "They all got their sack letters sent to their emails and were handed the hard copy this morning."Nick stopped talking and stared at Arthur in a questioning gaze. "How did you know that Louis was also sacked? I didn't tell you about his sack."With a smile, Arthur replied to the man in front of him. "I saw him trying to avoid us. He was on his way out but was quick to see us so he drew

    “Dad?”Arthur could not help but to panic when Gregg suddenly went mute. He had just said something to Bryan. Why was he not speaking again?Tilting himself, he reached out and began to shake his father. “Dad?”“Doctor, please find out what is wrong with my Dad. He's no longer moving.”Swiftly, the doctor went ahead to check Gregg's vitals while Arthur turned to glare at Bryan. He was praying in his heart and hoping that nothing happens to his father.After about a minute, the doctor lifted himself and turned to them with a very sad face. “I think we should take my dad to the hospital.” Arthur suggested even before the doctor was able to say something.He beckoned on Kimora and the guards to come and carry Gregg. However, the doctor stopped him.“There won't be any need for that because your Dad is gone. He's dead.”“No.” Arthur screamed and fell on his father's body, shaking it vigorously.“Dad, no. Please don't do this to me. Wake up and talk to me.”Bryan, who was kneeling on the

    With a stunned look, Arthur rushed towards his father. He tilted himself and tried to lift Gregg's face which was not visible to him. “Dad?”That moment when his father did not open his eyes, Arthur's heart began to pound hard. He thought that Gregg was dead.Turning to face Kimora, Arthur asked him with a raised voice. “What happened to him? I thought you said that he wanted to see me.”“Yes, that's what he said to me a while ago. Maybe he slept off before you came.”Without wasting any more time, Arthur checked Gregg and saw that he still had a pulse before he began to shake him. “Dad, wake up.” “Kimora, call the doctor immediately. I think my Dad's not well.”While he was vigorously shaking his father, the man gradually opened his eyes and called out his name.“Arthur, you're here.”“Oh, Dad. You scared me. Are you okay?” Arthur let out a deep sigh as he kept gaping at his father.He tried to help him sit up but Gregg refused. “I'm ok this way.”“Are you sure?”“Yeah, I'm sure. I

    Jesse stood up and started towards the door but Nick didn't follow him. He was still so dumbfounded.Dazed, he kept staring intently at Arthur and also at the sisters.“Um, Sir….. Do you mean, uh… Did you just promote me as the new manager of this great organization?”With a smile that reached his eyes, Arthur nodded at him. “Yeah, I just did that. You're now the manager of this organization and I hope you'll not disappoint.”Placing his left hand on his mouth, Nick let out a gasp. “Oh my God. Wow!” Out of impulse, he fell on the ground and began to thank Arthur. “Thank you so much Sir. This is really unbelievable.”“Thank you, Thank you Sir.” Nick kept appreciating him. He could not also get himself to address him as Arthur after what he had just done for him.Arthur has changed his status. From a mall guard to a manager. It was indeed a very huge elevation.“It's ok Nick, stand up. You don't have to fall on the ground to show your appreciation. I can already see how grateful you ar

    “But I didn't ask you to kidnap anyone. I didn't ask you to commit a crime. Why did you have to kidnap Arthur's girlfriend? You should have….”“That's enough mom.” Janet replied with her voice raised as she turned around and faced her mother. Her raised voice distracted the others and an officer came to give her a stern warning.When the police officer left, Janet let out a deep sigh before saying to her mother. “It was all your fault, Mom. You pushed me into doing what I did. If you were ever a good mother, I would not have turned out like this and ended up here.”After glaring at her mother one last time, Janet snorted at her. “Just get me a good lawyer. That's the only help you can offer right now.”Stella was about to say something when a policeman came to meet them. “Ma'am, you should leave now. You've had enough time with her. Just go and get a lawyer because she'll be charged to court soon.”Without another word, Stella turned around and left the place to get a good lawyer.Des

    “Please, have pity on my daughter.” Stella's voice was heard as she ran towards them and fell on her knees before Arthur.“Please, forgive Janet. I promise that she'll never do anything like this again.”Stella, Janet's mother, had been informed of her daughter's current predicament. She was also informed of her actions that led to her arrest so she hurried to the station.Even though she pushed Janet into such action, she never asked her daughter to commit a crime just to get money. However, she also took some blame. She had not been a good mother but Janet was still her daughter and she loves her dearly.“Arthur, for old times sake, please don't send my daughter to jail.”The trio watched the woman with disdain and exchanged glances. They said nothing at first. Turning to Jesse, Stella held onto her legs. “Ma'am, I understand that you're the victim. But please forgive my daughter and talk to your boyfriend. I promise you that nothing like this will ever happen again, I'll make sure

    Swiftly, he took out his phone to pick the call. It was from the police and they had found Jesse.Jenny watched in anticipation as Arthur answered the call. She was even distracting his conversations with the police.“Is that the police? I hope they have good news this time?” Although from Arthur's tone, she could deduce that it was the news she had been anticipating.Arthur raised a finger at her and she stopped disrupting his call. However, she was already pacing the place in restlessness.“Ok, we'll be on our way.” With so much delight, Arthur turned to Jenny and nodded at her. “Jesse's has been found. I told you that the police will find her.”“Wow! That's great. Come on, let's go meet her. In fact, I need you to put a call through to that number which just called and let them give the phone to Jesse.”Jenny had started walking towards the car but stopped in her tracks to talk to Arthur.“Hurry up and dial the number. I want to speak with Jesse to find out how she's doing. I hope

    “Please, just go back home and let us do our job. We understand that you're trying to help. However, the best way you can help now is by not getting involved so as not to escalate the whole situation.”After a long pause, Arthur nodded at the policemen and instructed Dario.“Please drive back home.”“Right away Sir.”The officers drove away from there while Dario turned to the direction leading to Arthur's home.Meanwhile, the policemen that had been following Janet were surprised to see her pull over at her mother's coffee shop. From where they were watching, they saw her alight from the car and started towards the door of the shop.They had thought that she had other places to go. After waiting fruitlessly for some time, one of the men stylishly went closer to her car and placed a tracker on it. After that, they left the place.The police were certain that Janet knew about their presence which was why she stayed put at the coffee shop.After successfully placing the tracking device

    Arthur stood speechless at a spot. He could not believe that Jenny was blaming him for Jesse's kidnap. She was even calling Janet his girlfriend.“She's not my girlfriend and will never be one. Jesse is the only woman I love.” Arthur spoke to the retreating figures of the ladies. However, no one replied to him.Once Jenny was out of sight, he took out his phone to make a few calls. He also contacted Axel to make the necessary arrangements for Benita's education. He had already made the promise to the girl and won't go back on it.After forcing himself to eat something, Arthur tried to plead with Jenny to eat. However, she was able to come out of the room after much persuasion.“Please, come and eat something.”“Have you heard from the police?” Jenny asked Arthur with a serious face, she was already looking sick from getting worried for her sister's safety.“Nothing yet.” Arthur replied with his eyes glued to hers. “Please, eat something first so you can have the energy to worry about
