Anthony!

Roland didn't ponder much about it.

His lips twitched in a smirk as he didn't want to do anything rash.

All he needed was to get some words out of Anthony's mouth.

Anthony was enjoying his beer as he ordered more bottles.

Roland played smart with him as he told Anthony that he'll pay for his treats.

"Don't worry nigga. You can drink as you want, I'll pay up your bills." Roland smirked behind the mask.

"I'm not some beggar, you know." He gulped one shot of the beer in one go as he wiped off the particles from his mouth.

"I know but I insist." Roland chuckled as he tried to act nice to Anthony.

Anthony didn't say anything much as he yielded to Roland's request.

He drank until he became tipsy.

When Roland saw Anthony's condition, a satisfactory smile played on his lips.

"You man, you are a kind foreigner...I...owe...you one." Anthony had several hiccups while he spoke because he was tipsy.

    "Boss, here's the information about the man you want dead." A masculine voice spoke. He handed over a piece of relative documents to the man standing opposite him."I thought I sent you to get the job done. Why didn't you kill him rather than give me his information?" "That man holds an important identity and he's not a person to be toyed with." The man said with a weary voice.The unknown man held the document firmly.

    "What's the matter with you? Cat got your tongue?" Chairman Lafayette asked again.Roland was taken aback by his father's question. He lowered his head avoiding his father's gaze. Biting his lips out of nervousness."Did you kill him?""I didn't kill him, father!" Roland said almost yelling."Then why are you so worked up when I asked you?""That's because I'm ashamed of myself. I'm so ashamed and unworthy because I can't even handle a gun." Roland bit his lips continuously.Chairman Lafayette chuckled. "Is that the reason you're ashamed of yourself?""I'm weak and lame." Roland sobbed."So you didn't kill the man, what did you do to him then?""I just abandoned him in the warehouse," Roland said."You abandoned him at my warehouse!? That's absurd.

The old man said.Why do they keep asking about the warehouse? His father found out about it because the Butler told him and now the Butler is asking...could it be that it was one of the men that relayed the message to his father?No one was to be trusted in the circle. The only one Roland could trust at that point was himself."Yes, I did. I dealt with the man who almost ruined my face." Roland firmly responded."You finally caught him.

The pursuit of the will had consumed him, clouding his judgment and overshadowing the importance of family.He took a deep breath, his decision crystallizing within him. Seraphina was right.

    As Roland approached his room, a sense of unease washed over him. The air felt heavy, charged with anticipation. Seraphina's words echoed in his mind, reminding him that there might be more to Alex than met the eye. Could it be possible that Alex's true heritage held the answers to his behavior?With a mix of reluctance and curiosity, Roland entered his room to find Seraphina still waiting there. Her eyes were puffy, hinting at tears she had shed in his absence. She looked up, her gaze filled with concern and compassion."Roland, I'm so sorry for everything," Seraphina said softly, her voice trembling. "I never wanted this to happen. I never meant to hurt you."Roland sighed, the turmoil within him evident in his weary expression. "Seraphina, I... I don't know what to believe anymore," he admitted, his voice laced with a tinge of vulnerability. "Butler Lucas told me the truth about Alex, about his origins.

Seraphina, sensing his distress, approached him cautiously."Roland, please," she implored, reaching out to touch his arm gently. "There's more to this than meets the eye. Perhaps there's a reason why Alex was named as the heir. We should consider all possibilities before jumping to conclusions."Her words only fueled Roland's frustration. "How can you say that, Seraphina?" he snapped, pulling away from her touch. "After everything we've been through, all the evidence of his true nature, you expect me to believe he's the rightful heir? It's preposterous!"Seraphina's eyes filled with concern as she watched Roland struggle with his emotions. She knew the depths of his convictions, but she also believed in looking at the situation from all angles."Roland, I understand your anger, but we must keep an o
