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."Getting called to work on a saturday morning was unsual. Ofcourse,Scort knew something strange must have happened that was why he was called this morning. But Scott never thought the issue could be this great.An object worth $3,000,000,000 missing from the CEO's office. "The item was sitting in my office yesterday,and when i came in today to give out the item to the rightful owner,i found out it was missing." Pedro Louis explained,glancing at each and everyone of the worker's face as he spoke.Scott shifted his gaze to Tory and he could see her fidgeting. Scott could understand why she was shivering.The duo were the last people to exit yesterday due to them working overtime. She knew they might get blamed for the missing item since they left last."But boss,we all left the company at the same time. I don't understand how it got missing." One of the worker spoke up."Oh reall?" Pedro bluttered,shiftinf his gaze to Scott. "Everyone left,except the two cleaners."Scott stated with a
"I swear,i have no idea how that got there. It's not even mine." Scott stated wuth a confused expression. "Oh really? So the bag just seemed to appear insised your locker? Is that what you are saying,Scott?" Pedro blurted. Scott could see the mischievious look on hid face and quickly guessed that the bag was planted inside his locker by Pedro.Scott saw the way Pedro looked at Caroline yesterday and how he protested to him getting married to her. It was clear that Pedro loved Caroline,but Caroline didn't seem to love him back.Pedro couldn't stand the shame of Caroline turning him down just to be with a riff raff like Scott,so he decided to frame Scott to make Mr Marcus Fernando cancel the wedding."I am telling you,i didn't take the bag. Ask Tory,she was with me the whole time." Scott said,pointing towards Tory.Pedro shifted her gaze to Tory after Scott mentioned her name. Tory was now sweating bucket full as all eyes was fixed on her.She knew if she sided with Scott and claimed h
Opening the door,Caroline was expecting to see Scott since they both planned earlier to hang out. But instead,she saw someone she has been trying to ignore lately,someone that has been getting on her nerves."Good morning,Caroline,did you sleep well?" Pedro greeted with a smile. "You look like you are about to head out,where are you going?" Pedro asked,noticing Caroline's clothes and make up."Non of your business." Caroline replied,annoyed by the question."You want me to drop you off?" Pedro ordered,pointing towards his shiny lamborghini."No thanks." Caroline turned him down."Anyways,is your dad home? I have something to discuss the whole family." Pedro voiced."Why? Did anything happen?" Caroline asked with a worried expression etched in her face."It's concerning Scott Carden." Pedro replied. "Can i come in?" Unable to wait for Caroline's reply,Pedro walked into the mansion.Pedro walked into the living room and found the whole family sitting quietly and doing their own thing.W
Scott walked into the living room of Mr Fernando and found the whole family there waiting for him. Everyone glaring at him with looks of disgust and hate as he walked in.It was now clear to Scott that Pedro already informed them since he was present there also."Scott,i want you to confirm if what Pedro told me just now is true." Mr Fernando spoke. "Did you try to steal the item from his office?" Mr Fernando questioned."No,Sir,it is all a misunderstanding. I didn't take it." Scott replied without hesitating or stammering."Just shut up!" Mrs Shiela chimed in,her voice mixed with anger and hatred. "You didn't take it? Why then was it found in your locker?!""I told you there was no use inviting him over. He would just keep on denying it!" Louis spat.Scott clenchend his fist in anger. If not for the fact that he needed to marry Catoline at all cost,he would have just broken up with her and get seperated from this wicked family."Scott,Pedro here showed me the video that was recorded
Exiting the mansion, Scott headed straight home. He lacked the monet to use public transport since he left his debit card at home due to rush, so he ended up treking.While walking through the street under the afternoon sun, Scott began to ponder on just how he would dig out some evidence that would prove his innocence to Mr. Fernando.He was certain that Pedro planted that object in his locker just to frame him and prevent the wedding, but with no concrete evidence no one would believe him.And to make matters worse, he only has 10 days to fulfill the task.'I can't let the wedding being called off. I still need to get married into that family so i could watch them from the inside.' Scott pondered, walking through the street with his hands tucked in his pockets.The only reason why he came into the country, disguising as Scott, was to investigate a certain family. And that family was the Fernando family.He had suspected the family to be the cause of his father and little sister's de
"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."
Scott picked up his phone and glancef at the screen. What displayed on the screen was his chat with his associate earlier that he forgot to wipe.'She definitely read it.' Scott pondered, tightening the phone in his hand out of anger before turning around to face her."It's getting late. I will head out to go rent the truck now." Scott spoke with a slight smile."All right." Marie responded.Scott gave a nod before stepping out of the room, pretending he knew nothing about Marie reading the text.Scott exited the room and made his way out of the building with his head filled with thoughts. He still doesn't know fully who Marie was or if she could be trusted, and with her knowing part of his secrets might complicate matters more for him.'Now i'm begining to regret helping her. What am saying? I already regret helping her. If only i have minded my goddamn business, all these wouldn't have happened!' Scott pondeered, walking through the streets. The sun was already setting and the day w
Scott srarted the truck and drove it out of the parking lot.'The money he paid is worth that truck itself. Guess God just sent me a fool, haha.' The man laughed before sitting back down to continue his sleep.***Thunder runbling, wind blowing, and rain falling heavily. Scott sat inside the truck, his gaze fixed on the road as he drove through the street. The rain made it difficult for him to see clearly, and he was somewhat a beginer in driving because back home he had bunch of professional drivers that drove him anywhere he wanted to go.'Now i can freely dump this truck along with the body. That way i will get rid of all evidence and put an end to this case permanently.' Scott pondered, his hand on the steering and his gaze fixed attentively on the dark road.'I still have the issue with Mr. Fernando, so i have to fix all these and then focus on digging up an evidence.' Scott intoned, driving back home.***Scott drove for almost an hour, until he finally arrived home. He pulled o
