Arthur scoffed and turned his face away while twisting his mouth.

"What exactly is he sorry about and why is he sick?" Arthur snorted coldly with his face still turned away.

"Your father misses you so much and really wants you back. We've been searching for you for a very long time and it's been as though you weren't in this city anymore. Please, come back home, Arthur."

Arthur fell silent. Gradually, he turned his face back to meet Oscar's gaze.

"You still haven't answered my question. What is wrong with Gregg?"

"Your Dad has been depressed and was diagnosed with major depressive disorder. Sometimes he harms himself when he's very angry."

Arthur's eyes widened as he heard the words. He swallowed hard and began to stammer.

"H… How serious… is it?"

"It's serious. All that has occupied his mind for a long time is getting you back home. You see, your father truly loves you and never stopped thinking about you. There's no time during our talks that he won't mention how much he misses you

    Oscar brought out a wad of cash and handed it over to Arthur who took the money and chuckled. "You're giving me some money."Oscar nodded his head and from the corner of his eyes, he saw the taxi driver giggle which made him begin to wonder if he had done something wrong."Ugh, is there anything wrong with giving you some money? Maybe you should use it for your cab fare." Oscar suggested but Arthur refused and tried to return the money but the man would not take it back."It has left my bag and can't be returned so it's now yours. See you when you come around."With that, Oscar left the money for him and went back to his car while Arthur and the taxi driver watched him drive off.Staring at the money on his hand, Arthur could not help but start laughing while the cab driver giggled. Oscar must have thought of him as a pauper. The man thought that Arthur was managing because he was no longer with his father.He took a long pause before throwing the money at the front seat. "He said it'

    "Stop the car and wait for me here." Arthur instructed and the man obeyed without any questions.Swiftly, Arthur alighted from the car and continued to stalk the girls. He got to the building and found out that the girls were already inside the elevator. Arthur took note of the floor number they were heading to while he waited for the door of the lift to open.A while later, he pressed the button and it opened up for him. Arthur quickly got into it and started towards the floor where the girls' flat was located. As soon as he got to the place, there was no one on sight. However, he was able to catch a glimpse of a door that was being closed at that moment. He started towards the direction of the door that was just closed and stopped before it. Arthur wanted to knock on it but on a second thought, he decided against it.He was going to leave that for next time.While Arthur made his way back to the taxi, he thought in his mind that it was best for him to give the lady a little space.

    The car drove off and left the lady who stood there for a while before making her way back to her car. After insulting and publicly embarrassing Arthur, what did she expect? That he'll welcome her with his arms open. Although Janet never expected any welcoming reception from Arthur, she just wanted to shoot her shot at him. It was seeming obvious that Bryan would soon be completely useless to her.Janet soon got to her car and drove off afterwards. Maybe she'll try her luck on Arthur next time, unless things turn around for Bryan.Meanwhile, Arthur's cab pulled over just outside the McCain's home and he came out from the car. The memories of the past years came running back to his face as Arthur scanned the place with his eyes.Gesturing to the man to wait for him, Arthur strode forward and stopped before the gate. His mood was sad and expressionless. As he stood before the gate, the security guard at the place scrutinized him."Who are you and what are you looking for?" The man aske

    "I know the whole truth. It was all a plot to take you out of the picture and I fell for it. Although I've begun to look for you even before…""Shhhh." Arthur covered his father's mouth with his left index finger and stopped him from speaking further."That's enough. I'm here now and I understand everything that happened in the past. I've also forgiven you." Arthur began to wipe off the tears in Gregg's eyes with his hands. After he was through cleaning his father's face, he sat close to him and held his hand. "Your son is back and won't abandon you again. I'm also sorry for not coming to check up on you all these years." Oscar was almost moved to tears as he watched the drama between the father and son. As he could no longer control his emotions, he turned around and left the room, standing just outside the door.With a satisfied smile on his face, Gregg began to speak to him. "Arthur, I've not been able to go to work for a long time so I need you to take charge of the company now

    Although it was strange to the cab driver that Arthur told him a few things about himself. However, he got more confused about the man he works for. Arthur was actually the owner of the huge house before him. He was also living in his own Villa and was pretending to be a Mall security guard. What was he hoping to achieve with the pretense? These rich people can be so strange.After glancing at the house one last time, the cab driver left the place with many questions in his mind. Unfortunately, he won't be getting the answers. Even if he would, then it might take time when Arthur had come completely clean before everyone.Meanwhile, the father and son finally arrived at their destination after being driven for more than thirty minutes.They alighted from the car and made their way in search of Shirley McCain's tombstone. After about a minute, the father and son stopped in their tracks. Lowering himself to a squat, Arthur wiped off some dirt on his mother's graveside while placing a

    Still on his feet, Oscar scanned the place with his mouth open. Oftentimes, he would throw a glance at Arthur who was now sitting down. "Why are you so shocked? Let me guess. You're wondering how a mall guard like me could afford such a place. Well, a mall guard won't be able to afford it but someone like Carl Ramon could. I just found out that he's my grandfather and he made me his heir.""Carl Ramon." Oscar muttered as he went and sat down with Arthur. It was already late and he still had to make it back to Gregg. However, he needed to get the full gist.He was in the dark about that information and so was Gregg. "Wait, you mean Carl Ramon, the richest man in Vienna. How did he become your grandfather?"Arthur sighed and called out to a maid to get some water for them."He's my late mother's father. Unfortunately, he had never been on good terms with my Dad. But recently, he reached out to me, asked for forgiveness for sending my mother away. He then handed over all his assets to

    "Jesse, I called to let you know that I won't be coming to work tomorrow. You can help me convey the information to the director."Arthur heard Jesse chuckle at her own end and inquired further. "Ugh, did I say anything wrong? I'm just making an excuse for tomorrow."Are you being serious, Arthur?" "I'm serious. I'm just telling you so it won't look like I intentionally refused to come to work." Arthur replied to her and Jesse started laughing at him."Why are you laughing, Jesse?""You've got to be kidding me. You, the big boss, is making an excuse of absence from an employee like myself. Is it not funny?"Arthur was silent for a while. Now he got the reason Jesse was laughing. As long as he was still working as a security guard, Jesse was his superior. It was only right that he let her know since he won't be available the next day."Jess, I understand your point but I'm still an employee under you for now. It's only right that I do the right thing, which is what I'm doing now.""Hm

    Arthur was approached by Oscar as soon as he got into the place. As they got into the building, Arthur called for an urgent staff meeting.All the employees of Raremix mills gathered at a large hall, except for those who were busy with production. Some whispered among themselves while the ones who knew Arthur before were stunned to see him back."Listen everyone." Arthur's hoarse voice halted the noises and they all paid attention.After a long pause to get the noises to die down, Arthur continued."Most of you already know who I am but for the sake of those who are new to this company, I'll introduce myself. My name is Arthur McCain, the only son of Gregg McCain, your boss."Arthur emphasized on the words 'the only son' and some people began to whisper among themselves. The old employees didn't murmur much but the new ones were stunned. They had seen Bryan a few times acting all bossy with his mother.If Arthur was Gregg's only son, who was Bryan? And where the heck had he been? Arth

    “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
