Hearing the bill of the food they just ate,Tory's mouth became wide open. Even if the bill wasn't so expensive,it was expensive for a guy like Scott.

But to her greatest surprise,Scott passed his smartphone to the waiter and instructed him to input the account derails without even breaking a sweat.

After inputing the account details,Scott completed the transfer and also ordered for take outs for him and Tory.

The take outs was brought and the duo retrieved it and made their way outside the restaurant. Due to how much they had to eat,the duo's movement were slow and sluggish.

"How did you manage to pay,though?" Tory inquired,still a bit surprised by how Scott was able to pay without even breaking a sweat.

"Come on,don't be dramatic,Tory. The bills wasn't that high." Scott replied,scratching his curly black hair. "Besides,do you have any idea who my fiance is?" Scott asked with a proud look and a smirk.

He chose to pretend that his fiance,Caroline,was the one who gave him tge money to treat her to dinner. Scott wasn't ready to inform anyone of his true identity and it was better to still lay low and play along.

"I knew it." Tory blurtted out. "I guess i should also look for a rich guy that would give me the good things i want." Said Tory while making their way to the bus station.

"You will find one,don't worry." Scott replied.

The duo finally arrived at the bus station and Scott made sure Tory entered a bus that would take her home before making his way back to the main road to get a cab.

Tory's house was located in a whole new destination from where Scott's apartment was.

***

Scott finally arrived home and placed the take outs into his small fridge before collapsing on his bed to have a goodnight rest.

BEEP*

A notification sound was heard in Scott's phone,glancing at the screen,Scott saw a new text message from Caroline.

-(CAROLINE) HI.

-(SCOTT) HEY.

-(CAROLINE) SORRY ABOUT EARLIER.

-(SCOTT) NAH,DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

-(CAROLINE) YOU GOT PLANS TOMORROW?

-(SCOTT) TOMORROW IS SATURDAY,I WON'T BE GOING ANYWHERE. WHY?

-(CAROLINE) SHOULD WE HANG OUT?

-(SCOTT) SURE,I WILL PICK YOU UP TOMORROW.

Delivering the last text,Scott placed his phone on his drawer,his ecpression mixed with excitement and anticipation as he closed his eyes to sleep.

***

Back in the Fernando residence, Four individual could be seen having a secret conversation in a room that was located upstairs. Based on how they spoke quietly,it was obvious they did not want anyone to hear what they were talking about.

"I wonder what charm that bastard placed on my daughter's head that makes her not want to leave him." Mrs Sheila blurtted with looks of disdain as she remembers Scott's face from earlier.

"I mean,did you even see the guy?" Louis uttered. "He's very disgusting. I can't allow him enter into this family."

"I am not sure if we can do anything about that since your father already approved their wedding." Mrs. Sheila responded. "The only thing we can do now is make his life a living hell when he comes into this house. We'll frustrate him until he leaves."

"I don't think that would be necessary." Aunt Zaya who has been on the phone with someone for a while now finally ended the call and stated.

"What do you mean?" Louis questioned,confused by Aunt Zaya's words.

"Pedro called me earlier that he has a plan to make that riff raff not step into this house. And now he called me saying his plan was a success and all we had to do was wait till tomorrow." Aunt Zaya explained with a mischievious smirk as she grabs a glass of red wine and sips it.

"What do you mean? What plan?" Mrs Sheila asked hastily.

"We will just have to wait and see what Pedro is up to." Aunt Zaya replied.

***

The morning sun rose up and shone brightly into the eyes of Scott,and slowly he began to wake up from his slumber. Today was saturday,a weekend to do what he wanted.

Scott's initial plan for his weekend was to just lie down on his bed and rest after such a stressful week at work. But after Caroline's invite,he knew he had to change his plan and spend the whole of the day with her.

Scott rose up from his bed and let out a loud yawn while stretching his body. After making sure he was fully awake,Scott headed inside his bathroom to take a shower.

Few minutes later,Scott walked out of the Shower and headed straight to his fridge and brought out the takeouts from last night's dinner. He placed the food into the microwave and sat down patientiely,waiting for it to heat up.

DING*

Scott took out the hot plate and began to dig in and eat. While Scott was eating,he was scrolling through TikTok to pass time while watching funny videos online.

While Scott was scrolling through his phone,a message entered. Scott glanced at the message and was surprised by who the sender was.

"Why does boss wants me in the company right now? Isn't it my day off?" Scott couldn't quite understand what was going on. It was a weekend,why then was he being called by his boss?

After thinking about it for too long,Scott decided it would be best if he just go and see what the problem could be. Quickly dressing up in his hoodie,Scott dashed out of his apartment and headed straight to the company.

***

The company was already crowded with every single person who worked there. They were asked to arrange themselves in a straight line while they await the boss.

Few minutes later,the boss,Pedro Louis walked in,dressed in black suit and trousers.

Pedro stood infront of the workers and glanced at each and everyone of their faces like he was searching for a paeticular person.

Just when he was about to ask where the person was,Scott rushed into the company and was surprised by who was standing infront of him.

The same man that humiliated him yesterday at the Fernando's residence.

"Oh,He's here." Pedro voiced. "Now the reason why i called this meeting is because the company's property went missing overnight. And the property is worth $3,000,000,000."

    "Come with me." Scott uttered, turning around and moving forward, but the lady's arm still pulled him back."What about the body? Are we just going to leave it here?" She questioned, her eyes filled with fear.Scott glanced at her frightful look, before shifting his gaze towards the body once more, confused on what to do."There is a lagoon few blocks away from here. But before the lagoon, there is a police checkpoint. If we can get a truck or something, we can go there by midnight and dumb the body inside the lagoon." The lady spoke. "But for now let's hide the body somewhere." She added."That is too dangerous. What if the police finds it before we arrive midnight?" Scott asked. "Come on, help me a bit." Scott uttered, moving closer to the body and lifting it off the floor with all his might."What are you doing?" She asked in confusion."I live in a deserted area. There is no cop around there and there is hardly anyone living around there. It's locted three streets away from here."

The man laughed before sitting back down to continue his sleep.***Thunder runbling, wind blowing, and rain falling heavily.

That way i will get rid of all evidence and put an end to this case permanently.'

    Meanwhile… Elsewhere on Scott’s estate…In a quiet, deserted section of the property, four guards sat in a loose circle on wooden chairs, their flashlights clutched in their left hands while their rifles hung over their shoulders. The air was cool and thick with silence, broken only by the occasional rustle of leaves or the chirping of distant insects.They were stationed near the outer boundary of the estate—a less-traveled area that bordered dense woods. "I can't believe boss is back, man." One of the guards said, raising his plastic and sipping the gin he held in his right hand."I can't believe that after all these months he finally returned. Many said he was dead, some said he abandoned the empire because of all the responsibilities. But he's finally back." Another guard spoke up, and a joyful expression evident on his face."I'm really glad he's back. Even though I haven't met him or see him, I know he's a good and generous man. He increases our salary every month back then. No

    Scott walked up the staircase, ascending toward his room with slow, deliberate steps. When he reached the door, he paused for a moment before pushing it open. Scott stood silently at the threshold, his eyes sweeping across the space as a distant, unreadable expression settled on his face.The room was exactly as he had left it months ago. Not a single thing seemed out of place. There were no cobwebs in the corners, no dust blanketing the surfaces—clear evidence that the maids had continued tending to it regularly. They must have believed he would one day return, and they had kept it in perfect shape, almost as if time had stopped here."At least he didn't touch my room," Scott murmured to himself, stepping inside and gently closing the door behind him.He moved toward the bed and sat down heavily, leaning his elbows on his knees, his back hunched and his mind consumed with thought. His face remained expressionless, but his eyes told a different story—one of confusion, disappointment,

  • Welcome back, boss!

    Scott ran his fingers through his sleek black hair and paced back and forth on the raised platform. The things he was hearing now were vastly different from how things had been just months ago. It felt like everything had changed completely—as if he had been gone for years—yet it hadn't even been a full year since his departure."You mean Sandro never used the money I sent him to support the companies?" Scott finally questioned, his voice edged with disbelief."No, he didn’t," Kael replied audibly. "Whenever I told him the company was running low on cash, he would say we should manage because you hadn’t been answering your calls. The company was slowly going bankrupt because there was no money to sustain it. That’s why I took those loans.""Sandro?" Scott echoed bitterly. "How could he do this to me? I trusted him.""I don’t think now is the time for you to worry about that, boss. You literally just got back home after months. You should’ve told me you were coming—I would have—""What

    Kael stood motionless on the raised platform, a puzzled expression evident on his face as his eyes locked onto the sleek black car slowly driving onto the green field. The murmuring of the crowd faded into a tense silence as all heads turned to watch the vehicle approach. A thick wave of curiosity and unease swept through them, each person wondering who could possibly be inside.They all recognized the vehicle. It wasn’t just any car—it was a limousine reserved exclusively for the highest-ranking members of the empire. But all known high-ranking figures were already present on the field. The presence of this particular car raised an immediate and unsettling question: who else could it be?Down on the wooden platform, Jude Gallagher remained on his knees, his wrists still bound. He squinted at the advancing limousine, his breath caught in his throat. Then, slowly, a wide grin crept across his bruised face.“He’s… back,” he muttered softly, the words barely a whisper, yet somehow still

    The sleek black limousine kept driving through the street, and after what seemed like forever, they finally arrived inside an estate. This estate belonged to Scott, and tall mansions could be seen here and there. Scott sat in the car, examining the whole estate through the window."How I've missed this place," he mused with a smile, and the Limo kept driving forward. But Scott noticed something was wrong."Where is everyone?" he asked, raising a brow."They're all at the green field. Kael is going to execute Jude Gallagher today. The man betrayed the empire, and today is the day he will be judged," Jerry responded."Jude Gallagher? The accountant?" Scott questioned."Yes, sir. Kael recently discovered that Jude has been stealing money from the company. He’s been using the funds he stole to build a gang. Kael found his little territory where he kept his weapons—guns, daggers, machetes... and other ammunition. He’s also been using the money to hire men to work for him. Kael says he's be

    Elsewhere...Scott had already booked the flight and successfully paid all the bills. Now, he sat inside the plane after waiting for several minutes. He was seated by the window, and beside him was Ali. Ali had his head down, cold sweat trickling down his face as he muttered prayers under his breath.It felt like he was right back in Scott's jet, and it was crashing all over again. He hadn’t recovered from the shock and fear he felt during that incident, so right now, he was freaking out while sitting there.Scott, on the other hand, remained silent. His arms were folded, and his back leaned against the seat. His head was filled with thoughts, wondering how his home would look when he returned. It had been close to a year since he left, and he couldn't help but wonder how much had changed while he was away.He knew one thing for sure—things wouldn’t be the same. A lot must have changed, and many people might have even forgotten him.Scott pondered for several minutes, and when the pil

    Mr. Leeray grabbed the wooden table with a single hand and lifted it into the air, and he instantly spotted the man hiding under it. He tossed the table to the side of the room and shifted his gaze back to Joe. Joe's heart raced, his eyes filled with terror, and cold sweat trickled down his face. "What's the matter? Come on, rise up," Mr. Leeray gestured, and Joe hesitated. "I said rise up, man. You have no reason to be scared. As long as you do exactly what I tell you to do, we won't have a problem," Mr. Leeray added. Joe hesitated for a few seconds before rising up slowly. Before he could rise fully, Mr. Leeray grabbed him by the collar and picked him up aggressively. He moved swiftly to the wall and pinned him against it. "Please... don't kill me. I haven't wronged you in any way," Joe whimpered, and tears gathered in his eyes. "I won't kill you if you tell me what I need to know," Mr. Leeray spat, and his gaze fixed intently on Joe.

    The officer marched into the office, his expression fierce and unrelenting, his hands tightly gripping his AK-47. He scanned the room for a few tense moments before speaking.“Time’s up. Back to your cell,” he said, his voice deep and firm.“Remember what I told you. I’ll be back in two days,” Chief Jim whispered just as the officer approached Perez, grabbed him by the arm, and lifted him from his seat. Perez gave a silent nod, then exited the room alongside the officer.Shortly after they left, Chief Jim let out a heavy sigh and rose to his feet. He adjusted his shirt, smoothing out the creases with steady hands, before walking out of the room. As he stepped outside the station, the cool air met his face. He headed straight to his car, pulled the door open, got in, started the engine, and drove off without hesitation.---Somewhere else in the city…Inside the lavish living room of an opulent mansion, a towering man stood with commanding presence.

    Hearing the words of Chief Jim, Perez’s eyes widened, and his expression was a mixture of surprise and disbelief.“What in the world are you talking about, Chief?!” Perez blurted out in disbelief.“Sshhh… keep your voice down,” Chief Jim hushed, and Perez swiftly covered his mouth with both hands.“What in the world are you talking about, Chief?” he repeated his question, but this time in a hushed tone.“You heard me right, Perez. I’m breaking you all out of there,” Chief Jim affirmed.“What? How? How are you even going to do that?” Perez questioned.“I have a plan already. Don’t worry about that,” Chief Jim responded. “I just came here to fill you in and tell you to get yourselves ready.”“Okay, but why do you want to do it? Why are you so eager to get us out of here? I have a feeling it’s not because you don’t like seeing us behind bars,” Perez questioned.Chief Jim sighed heavily, then leaned his hands on the table. “The last time I came here to visit you, I told you Jordan was the
