At Serah's house, It was mother and daughter time as they were engrossed in a TV show, enjoying a light hearted comedy. Suddenly, an urgent news bulletin interrupted the program, showing disturbing images of a dead body identified as Damien's. Serah's expression turned from intrigue to shock as she registered the news.Serah's Mother noticed her reaction and asked. "Serah, what's wrong? Why are you reacting like this?""Mom, that's Damien... He was my boyfriend." Serah replied in horror.Serah's mother felt surprised, because she had never seen Damien before, only to see his dead picture now. But whatever the case, she never liked Damien anyway."So why are you behaving that way? Have you forgotten what he did to you?" Serah's mother raised her brows, staring curiously at her.Serah's shoulders dropped. "I... I still had some feelings for him, Mom. It's complicated."" What are you saying? Can you hear yourself?" Her mother asked in disbelief.Before Serah could reply, another dis

The news had just broken that he had escaped from jail, and now the city was on high alert, fearing that he would strike again.But amidst the chaos and fear, life went on as usual for most people. One such person was Ferdinand. But as Ferdinand sat at the top floor of the Hawthorne mansion, overlooking the sprawling city below, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. He knew that it was only a matter of time before Mr. X tried to exact his revenge, and he was determined to do everything in his power to protect his loved ones from harm.But as he pondered his next move, he was suddenly interrupted by the unexpected arrival of a visitor he hadn't seen for a long time: Serah.As Serah stood in the doorway of the mansion, her eyes filled
The next morning, Anabel couldn't shake off the events of the previous night, the nagging feeling of unease still lingering in the back of her mind. She decided to confront Ferdinand about Serah's behavior, determined to get to the bottom of the matter."Ferdinand, we need to talk about Serah," Anabel began as they sat together in the study, the morning sunlight streaming through the windows.Ferdinand looked up from his papers, his brow furrowing in concern as he sensed the seriousness in Anabel's tone. "What is it, my love? Has something happened?"Anabel recounted the events of the previous night, her words measured and precise as she described catching Serah in Ferdinand's office. She voiced her suspicions and concerns, seeking answers from Ferdinand.Ferdinand listened attentively, his expression thoughtful as he processed Anabel's words. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke calmly, "Anabel, I understand your worries. But I assure you, Serah has nothing to hide. She is si
As his grandfather began to speak, Ferdinand listened intently, his eyes widening with shock and disbelief as he learned the truth about what had happened all those years ago."Long ago, Shawn was a partner of mine in one of my organizations," his grandfather started."But in secret, he was practicing document and signature forgery, and he wanted to steal my business documents and put all the Hawthorne companies under his name."Ferdinand gasped, his eyes widening with shock and disbelief as he realized the true extent of Shawn's treachery and deceit."But I caught him, Ferdinand," his grandfather said with pride. "I caught him red handed, and I reported to the authorities, then they had him thrown in prison for fifteen years."Ferdinand nodded his head, his eyes filled with a sense of admiration and respect for his grandfather's strength and courage."As compensation for the damages he caused, I was given his share of the company by the court… And I've been running it ever since, wi
Tonight, Ferdinand found himself in a night club as he was trying to get some quiet time. He saw it as the best way to get a break from the drama that had been taking place at the Hawthorne Mansion, even if just for a little while.As he drank the contents of his glass, a sudden collision jolted him out of his thoughts. The liquid splattered across his shirt, but before Ferdinand could react, the man with a sheepish grin was already wiping away the spilled drink with tissues."Sorry, mate. My bad," the man said. When he caught a glimpse of Ferdinand's face, his eyes widened in recognition. "Wait... you're Ferdinand Hawthorne!"Ferdinand managed a small smile, acknowledging the man's realization. " Yes, that's me." Ferdinand replied." OMG," I never thought I'd see you in such a place, I am so honored." The man commented.They shared introductions, with the man revealing himself as Blake, a self-proclaimed admirer of Ferdinand's. Their conversation flowed effortlessly as they exchan
As Drake and Sarah hurriedly exited the imposing Hawthorne mansion, relief washed over them like a wave. Their hearts raced with adrenaline as they hailed a cab to take them to the secret location of serah's father. Serah nervously glanced around as they settled into the cab, a flicker of doubt in his eyes. "Do you think we were followed, Drake?" he asked, unable to shake the feeling of unease that lingered in the air. Drake, ever the optimist, flashed him a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, Serah, We were careful. I'm sure everything will be fine." He patted her arm gently, trying to ease her worries. But little did they know, a dark van lurked in the shadows, tailing them closely as they made their way through the city streets. The cab eventually came to a stop at a seemingly abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town. Drake and Sarah paid the driver and stepped out, clutching the stolen documents tightly. The air was charged with anticipation as they approached the entrance
“You have always been a liar, so I don't have any reason to believe you now, and I don't care about things of the past, and that includes you.” Ferdinand replied to Mr Shawn.“ Very well we'll see about that.” Shawn said with a smile.The police officers took Shawn, Drake and Serah away, and Ferdinand took his car home, but before he got home, he bought an expensive gift for Anabel.When he got home, he explained everything that happened to Grandpa, of course, leaving what Shawn said out.Grandpa couldn't help but feel proud of the grandson he had.Ferdinand felt the urge to ask Grandpa about what Shawn spoke of, but he decided to brush it off.Ferdinand left Grandpa and went to see Anabel. “ Hey honey, I'm back.” Ferdinand said.Anabel was surprised to see that Ferdinand came back so early.“ What happened to your trip, did you cancel it?” Anabel asked, feeling concerned.“ No, I mean yes. The truth is, I wasn't supposed to travel, I just made it all up.” Ferdinand replied.“ Hmm, t
Ferdinand was taken aback by Aunt Rose's sudden actions. "Aunt Rose, please stand up," he urged, feeling uncomfortable with her kneeling before him.But Aunt Rose remained steadfast. With tears in her eyes, she begged Ferdinand to consider releasing Serah, to give her another chance at redemption.Ferdinand sighed softly, a mix of memories and emotions flooding his mind. "Serah was my childhood friend, and she was once my girlfriend," he admitted quietly. "I can't hold onto my anger forever. If she promises to change her ways, I will consider releasing her."A glimmer of hope shone in Aunt Rose's eyes as she nodded fervently. "I have spoken to her, Ferdinand. She is willing to change, to make amends for her mistakes."Ferdinand nodded solemnly, a sense of resolution in his voice. "Very well then. I will pay her a visit and see for myself."Aunt Rose's eyes lit up with gratitude as she stood up, her expression filled with relief and gratitude. "Thank you, Ferdinand. Thank you for your
