Ferdinand returned home with Harriett, since she said she had nowhere to go, and too, Ferdinand owed her his life.As he entered the Hawthorne mansion, Grandpa, friends of the Hawthorne family, along with a few loyal staff members, anxiously awaited Ferdinand's return. The mood was quite serious as everyone understood how serious the situation was. Harriett felt a bit awkward as she chose to stand near the entrance because she didn't feel like she belonged in such a fancy place.Grandpa Hawthorne approached Ferdinand with a mix of relief and concern. "Ferdinand, my boy, you're back!" He said as he hugged Ferdinand tightly, almost lifting him up. Then he paused and checked if he would see Anabel, but instead, he saw a shy looking girl at the entrance."Who is this young lady with you?" he asked.Ferdinand sighed, his expression heavy with the weight of the ordeal. "This is Harriett, Grandpa. She's the reason I'm standing here today. She was a servant in Damien's father's mansion, w
The night was dark and silent as Mr. X peered through his binoculars, observing the movement outside the abandoned warehouse. His keen eyes caught sight of Ferdinand arriving alone, just as instructed. " There you go, good boy."He smirked to himself, knowing that his plans were falling into place.As Ferdinand entered the dimly lit warehouse, he couldn't shake off an uneasy feeling creeping up his spine. The interior was shrouded in shadows, casting a spooky atmosphere over the space. Mr. X emerged from the darkness, his expression unreadable as he demanded the papers from Ferdinand without delay.But Ferdinand's gaze darted around the room, searching for a familiar face.

"There she is, as you requested," he stated coldly.Ferdinand rushed towards Anabel, his heart pounding with fear and worry. "

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.

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.

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.

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
