"And this is not just an order," Carl added, "It's a command."

Carl Gerald cut the call at Debra Zach's affirmation.

Austin Tyler became annoyed at Carl Gerlad's statement. "How dare nobody like you–".

Austin Tyler was cut short by his ringing phone. Without looking at the caller, he cut the call. He didn't want to look weak in front of Carl Gerald.

Again, his phone rang before he could get back to Carl. He grudgingly took the call. Assuming the caller was a servant, he became enraged.

"What do you want?! Stop calling me!" He yelled, ready to end the call.

"You fool! You've forgotten your father!" An old voice exclaimed from the other end. Even without seeing the expression, one could tell the voice's owner was angry and tired.

"F-father?" Austin was shocked at his outburst. He sobered up instantly.

    The party had come to an abrupt end soon after. It wasn’t like the banquet was over, instead, it was more about exchanging pleasantries. Since Carl Gerald had no one to talk to, he figured he might as well call it a day.“Sara.” He called.Sara seemed to be enjoying the food, and after the humiliation of Austin Tyler and Tiffany Raymond, she’d been especially ecstatic.From the distance she waved off to the few ladies she was conversing with. “What?” She asked as she approached her foster brother.“Do you want to stay here forever?” Carl Gerald teased.Sara Gerald formed a small frown, “I… I can’t say?” She teased back, playing with the fabric of her gown that she’d forgotten to be ‘too revealing’.“I meant we’re leaving.” Carl responded in defeat. “You could’ve just said so from the beginning.” She grabbed Carl Gerald’s sleeve. Her hands trembled softly. Carl Gerald expected as much, the attention of the crowd had yet to dwindle. It was another factor that prevented him from stayi

As Carl Gerald gazed around he couldn’t help but gasp how the villa lights beautified the night environment.“General, please get a good nights’ rest.” Debra commented. “That troublemaker will be here to help you with security during the nighttime.”“I can hear you!” Juliet scoffed, hugging the dashboard of the car. Debra Zach had a very good way with words both positively, and negatively. Juliet, unfortunately became a victim that very night.‘I’m glad she’s not my enemy.’ Carl Gerald sucked in a cold breath.“I’ll be taking my leave then, if you have a response, please do well to reach out to me before 11am prompt.” Debra Zach remained formal.“I will. Thank you for today, Miss Debra, and Miss Juliet. I really appreciate it.”Upon that statement, both their eyes widened.

Why would he need that?’ Debra became confused as she read the contents of Carl Gerald’s message. Carl Gerald had stated that it was urgent.“Hah…” Debra Zach sighed, swerving over to the side of the street.

    “Now tell me, Carl Gerald.” Clyde Lex’s voice sounded unhinged. “Does the hunt for Sara bring you to the book aisle?”Clyde Lex asked the same question, this time his voice was detached.Carl Gerald felt his anger renew as he realized he was almost played by Clyde Lex. Carl Gerald grabbed him by the collar and pushed him violently against a shelf, nearly toppling a few books over.“What do you know about Sara’s disappearance, Lex?” Carl Gerald asked menacingly.“Ah, scary!” Clyde Lex’s face had stopped showing any emotions, but his voice was as though he had fear plastered on his face.Clyde Lex wasn’t capable of feeling emotions, he just considered people around him as tools, only to be tossed away when they were no longer of use.It even made Clyde Lex a perfect manipulator, and Carl Gerald had almost fallen for it.“If I were you,” Clyde Lex began, “I wouldn’t be standing here, talking to me.”Clyde Lex grabbed a book from the bookshelf he was pinned against. “I heard that she love

If you can hear me, say crab.”Mrs Juliet Marcus's voice rang through the car’s speakers.“Crab.” Carl Gerald said immediately.“Oh, good! Well… General, there’s bad news, terrible even.” Juliet Marcus said.“What do you mean?” Car Gerald asked.For a reason, he felt like it was about his sister.
