Nicho finally fell asleep, but Kaiden and Jake had to leave immediately to meet Mr. Cokro and buy the company and the building.Zack offered to accompany the boy, and Kaiden agreed even though he wasn't sure. Since Zack didn't seem to get along well with children, he was very clumsy around children."Are you sure we can leave Zack with Nicho?" asked Jake.Kaiden nodded, "yes, because there's no other way."They were already driving down the road, Jake driving Kaiden's Rolls-Royce."Alright, we'll just have to focus on our work."The white car traveled at a moderate speed on the busy streets, thankfully there was no traffic.A few minutes later, they arrived at a nice building that looked new and was in a good neighborhood.Mr. Cokro and his assistant greeted them, engaging them in small talk first, before getting to the meat of the conversation.As Jake had explained last night, the building was still very nice, it was just that Mr. Cokro wanted to sell it immediately and use the mone
All her life, Laura didn't really like any fish. Since her grandfather loved fish, Laura started to get bored.However, after eating Kaiden's fish dishes, Laura changed her mind.It turned out that fish could taste good and not be as boring as usual."I didn't know you could cook like this, it's amazing! I've been eating fish all my life, but this is the first time I've had fish this good, seriously!" said Mr. Toni after they finished eating."You're praising me too much, it's just an ordinary dish," said Kaiden."You're absolutely right Mr. Toni, Kaiden's cooking is really good! He once tried making his own pizza from the ingredients in the fridge, and it was so good! I wish I could eat it every day." said Jake.The pizza Jake was referring to was Kaiden's homemade pizza, and he was surprised that it didn't fail and even tasted better than the 20$ pizza Kaiden had bought before."What if you just open a food business? I happen to be studying culinary arts." Laura said, she wasn't lyin
"What took you guys so long," Zack complained, as he greeted Kaiden and Jake while girdling his loins."Because there are some things that need to be done right away, is Nicho troubling you?" Kaiden asked.Zack chuckled before answering, "Well, not really, but he asks a lot of questions, he's also better at cleaning the house than me, he even made me a hot chocolate drink, I feel like a failed adult after seeing such an independent boy."Kaiden just laughed at Zack's complaint. Nicho was indeed quite independent for a boy his age, due to the demands of his circumstances. His father was an alcoholic, his brother was busy at high school, and his mother was always working to earn money. Of course, Nicho had to be able to do many things."Where is he now?" asked Jake.Zack pointed to Kaiden's room, "He's sleeping because he's tired of cleaning the apartment, I told him not to, but he insisted on doing it. So I gave up trying to stop him."Kaiden opened his room, already seeing that his ro
Kaiden told the police officer everything. About the orphanage, about Charles... Kaiden just wanted to know if it was true that the thugs who hired the orphanage children were protected by someone powerful. Kaiden also wanted to know if Charles was put in jail at someone's request. Since there hadn't been any further investigation, but Charles was immediately sentenced, that was very suspicious."If you want money for this investigation, I will fulfill your request." Kaiden said confidently.The police officer laughed softly, then tapped Kaiden on the shoulder."Kaiden, I'll help you willingly even if there's no money. I know the law in this country is still very weak, it can be bought with money. But I'm one of those who don't like it, I'll help you because I care about them too, just like you. I have a friend who is also a policeman and he will definitely help us, so don't worry, okay? You're a good boy."For some reason, Kaiden felt touched by the policeman's words, maybe he really
"I'm going to the toilet first," Karina whispered.They were already at the after party, which was held after the event.Kaiden was with Vivienne and Paula. Both are designers and owners of the brand that invited Kaiden to come. There were also some models and ambassadors of the brand.One of them is a young model who doesn't have an agency yet and wants to be a singer, but always fails when doing various auditions. Her name was Aluna Gregory, she was 17 years old and she was a friendly girl.Aluna greeted Kaiden and Karina first and then became familiar quickly."Are you and Karina like a lovers?" Aluna asked.Kaiden was silent for a moment, he had dated two girls, Jenni and Karina. Actually Kaiden felt very guilty for both of them, he didn't know if they were lovers or just an unclear relationship.Kaiden just realized that he was a jerk and had a hard time making decisions about relationships."I... don't know," Kaiden replied hesitantly.Aluna looked up, staring at Kaiden's handso
Kaiden awoke from his sleep with a headache. He lazily got out of bed, then opened the window curtains, letting in the sunlight freely. He frowned as the light streamed in and made his eyes glare.The headache had disappeared by itself by the time Kaiden sat back down on the bed.Kaiden still felt tired after yesterday's event, made even more so by Jenni and Karina's constant fighting over trivial things. Last night after arriving at the apartment Kaiden went straight to bed, he didn't know if Jake and Nicho had finished buying school supplies.Kaiden came out of his room, he just realized that there were a lot of things in the living room, but Kaiden skipped it and went to the kitchen.When he got to the kitchen, he reflexively prepared the ingredients to make a normal breakfast."Are you going to make something?"Kaiden jumped in surprise at Jake's sudden voice.Jake laughed at Kaiden's reaction which he thought was funny, "hahaha, you're surprised like that."Kaiden chuckled, "You'
This morning Kaiden went alone, taking a taxi to go to the cafe to meet the police officer.The cafe chosen by the police officer was a small cafe near the police station. It was quite famous for its delicious sandwiches.When Kaiden arrived at the place, it was seven in the morning, and the police officer was already there, not wearing a police uniform, just a plain white T-shirt and black pants. A thin gray jacket lay on the table."Kaiden! Did you have breakfast? The tuna sandwich here is delicious!"Kaiden sat in front of the man, "I've already had breakfast, but I think I'd like to try a sandwich here."The policeman ordered Kaiden a tuna sandwich and an egg sandwich."So here's the thing Kaiden, I moved Charles last night, and this kid has a lot of bruises, which is obvious because the boy's skin is pale white. But after I investigated, someone paid to have him thrown in jail, even though he was found innocent. The person who did that has something to do with your uncle, he has
This morning Kaiden smiled when he saw Charles and Nicho sleeping peacefully. They were a pair of siblings with no parents, not much different from Kaiden.Kaiden hoped that having them with him would keep them safe.After closing the door to the children's room, Kaiden left the apartment. He just wanted to walk around, while shopping for ingredients for today."Look who I see here."Kaiden turned to a male voice that was familiar to him.Uncle Rino, walking leisurely towards Kaiden.It was very early in the morning, and the air was still very cold. There weren't many people under the apartment building. People would rather curl up in their blankets than go out that early. Except for people who really wanted to go shopping or exercise in the morning.Even though it was Sunday, when people were on weekend vacation, it was quiet around there."What are you doing here?" asked Kaiden, as if he wasn't angry about what his uncle had done to Charles and Nicho. Kaiden was angry, but he was ho
