"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 he didn't take it,then they might just convict her also.

"Tory Sanchez,Is what Scott saying true?" Pedro asked hastily.

Tory remained silent after the question was asked,contemplating on what to do. "I-I was never with him. I left him in the company lasr night and went home after he told me he still had something to take care of." Tory lied.

Scott was dumbstrucked by Tory's response. He never exprcted someone he has been with for a while now betray him like this.

Scott clenched his fist in anger as everyone began to rain insults and calling him a thief. Scott wasn't feeling angry because he was being mocked and faulsly accused,he was amgry for how the world now treat poor people like trash.

Just because everyone thought Scott was poor,they began to treat him badly and force blames on him.

"You know i could have you arrested for attempting to steal the company's property." Pedro finally spoke up. "But don't worry, i would inform Mr Fernando. He would know what to do."

There was nothing else Scott could do. Even if he was innocent,there was no way for him to prove it. And if Pedro informes Mr Fernando about it,then the marriage between him and Caroline would be over.

"You all may leave now. Thank you for your co operation." Pedro ordered and the staffs began to walk away. "I always knew you were nothing but a lying poser. A poor boy trying to squeeze his way into a rich family just to taste wealth. Let's see how that goes for you."

Saying those words to Scott's face,Pedro also walked out,leaving Tory and Scott alone in the room.

Tory had her head turned down as her concience priqued her after what she did to Scott. Scott has always been nice to her,why then did she have to betray him like that?

"H-Hey,Scott,I am sorry." Tory stuttered in a low tone.

"Why did you do it?" Scott inquired,his voice mixed with anger and rage.

"I-I was scared of losing my job." Tory stammered. "If i lose this job then my junior brother at home would starve to death." Tory explained as tears almost rolled down her eyes.

Scott understood her,but what she did was still wrong. Did shr stop to think that what if Scott also has someone back home he needed to take care of?

"Do not justify your actions,Tory!" Scott snapped,causing Tory to flinch. "After all what we went through together you didn't hesitate to sell me out just to save yourself. Yeah,i get you have a brother back home that's lookinf up to you,but what about me? Did you stop to think that maybe i also have a family back home?!"

At this moment the tears that has been gathering up in Tory's eyes began to over flow as Scott spoke those words.

"I am sorry,Scott,i can go back to him and tell him the truth of what happened." Tory pleaded as Tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Forget it!" Scott sounded,exiting the locker room and leaving Tory with her thoughts and tears.

***

Back in the Fernando residence,Caroline was currently checking her phone to see if Scott already replied to one of her seventeen messages. She has plans with Scott to head out and have fun for the weekend,but since morning Scott hasn't replied any of her texts which got her worried.

"Is everything okay,Caroline?" Mr Fernando asked,noticing the worried and restless expression on his daughter's face.

"It's just that Scott planned on going out with me today and now he isn't replying any of my texts or returning my calls." Caroline explained.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

A knock was heard on the door and Caroline rushed towards it,hoping it was Scott. Opening the door,she saw a face she wasn't expecting.

"Good morning,Caroline." Pedro greeted with a smile. "Is your dad home? I have something important to tell him."

    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.

    "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.

    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

Scott instructed before ailighting the truck and stepping into the heavy rain. He moved towards Caroline who was alredy getting off her expensive Poarch with a pink umbrella covering her head.'If Marie spots Caroline, she might recognize her instanty as the daughter of Mr. Fernando and that would only make things complicated.

    Scott paced back and forth in the room, his fingers rubbing his chin, and a troubled expression etched on his face. He pondered Internally on what his next move should be. Should he just surrender like a coward? Or should he fight?"These past few months all I've been doing is running, hiding, surrendering.. not anymore. It's finally time they get a glimpse of what I'm capable of." Scott mused as he began to dial the number of Sullivan.In less than a second, the call was answered."Boss." Sullivan's voice sounded over the phone."I told you I'd call you later if I needed your help, eh?" Scott stated."Yes, boss. I recall. What do you need me to do?" Sullivan asked."I want you to send 50 armed men to Chicago. Make sure they arrive in a plane because we'll also be flying to Hong Kong once they arrive." Scott ordered. "50 men?

    Scott glanced at his phone for moments as it rang, and his gaze fixed intently on the name of the caller. The name written there was Sandro, which made him slightly confused."Hello, Sandro. What the hell, man? I've been calling and texting you all week but you haven't been responding. What on earth happened to you?" Scott spoke up immediately after answering the call."So that's the foreigner's name... Sandro." A deep male's voice sounded on the phone.Hearing the words of the man, Scott's expression darkened and he got off the bed instantly. The voice he just heard was definitely not that of Sandro. "Who's this?" He questioned in a demanding tone."Take a wild guess, Scott Carden." Wang Jian said over the phone."I don't have time for games. Who the hell are you and why do you have Sandro's phone?" Scott asked, his voice filled with anger."Why don't you guess? It'll be fun." Wang Jian mumbled. "Fine..I'll tell you.

Sullivan blurted out.Scott sat there in silence without uttering a word, and his head filled with thoughts.What could have happened to Sandro?Scott sent him to Hong Kong to speak to Zhang Yang and ask him to send some men to get him out of the prison. But after that night Sandro hasn't been answering calls or returning his texts.Something definitely happened to him.But what?Could it be that Zhang Yang and the Chinese empire lied?

    Shortly after the lady left a group of waitresses arrived. Some of them carried the food Scott ordered in a tray, while some were carrying the wine. They placed it on the table in-between them before walking away. Without any delay, the duo dug in.They both ate hungrily. Angela hasn't eaten anything since the morning they escaped from the prison. Scott, on the other hand, hasn't eaten anything since the night he was taken to the Boiling room.As they ate hungrily, the rest of the customers glared at them in disdain. They would have loved to insult them, but after watching Scott pay 3 million dollars for the meal without thinking twice they decided to stay quiet. Who were they to insult someone who was far richer than them?A few moments later they were finally done eating."That was so good." Angela commented as she sipped her wine. "I don't think I've ever eaten this much in my life." She added."Well...I promised you a life of luxury, didn't I? I haven't even started. Wait till you

They both glanced around the place they had just arrived in."Where the hell is this?" Angela asked with a slight look of puzzle."Chicago." Scott replied after recognizing the area. "I've been here once for a business meeting. There's also an airport close by, the O'Hare international Airport. ORD for short. I'll book a flight for you and it'll take you straight to Italy where my people would be waiting to receive you." Scott added."We are finally far away from Alcatraz.

But Instead he left and brought the enemies to her doorstep.Sandro shifted his gaze back to Wang Jian, his face bright red in anger, and his eyes filled with tears. He attempted to rise up and attack Wang Jian, but one of his men stepped forward and slammed the handle of his gun on his head, causing him to stagger backwards and fell down."You're a lucky man, you know?

    Sandro walked down the dimly lit street, making his way back to Mei's apartment. The hat was still worn on his head to prevent the people walking around from recognizing him. A few moments later he arrived at the area and swiftly made his way towards the small apartment.Arriving there, he saw Mei standing outside with a worrisome expression on her face. When she caught sight of him her eyes widened slightly, and a relieved expression appeared on her face."You were right, Mei. I shouldn't have left." Sandro stated while panting heavily as they both walked into the small living room."What happened, Sandro? And whose gun is that?" Mei inquired."Oh, this...I took it with me just in case. it belongs to that psychopath's comrade." Sandro informed. "Wang Jian? You saw him?" Mei blurted out in shock."No, I didn't see the leader.

    "What the fuck are you planning, man?!" Sandro asked in a commanding tone as he pinned the man on the wall.Before the man could utter a word, the entrance door flung open and three of Wang Jian's comrades stepped inside. Each of them armed with guns, and their expression fierce and dangerous.Sandro swallowed a mouthful of saliva after catching sight of the men, and he slowly released the collar of the man."Found you." One of them stated with a smirk, and his gaze locked on Sandro. "Just how stupid are you, foreigners? You knew we were out looking for you and you still chose to come to a place like this.". The man added in a mocking tone.Sandro didn't say a word.Not because he didn't understand. The man was speaking English.

    Sandro made his way through the dimly lit street, his eyes scanning the place to make sure Wang Jian's men weren't around. It only took him a few minutes to exit the rural area and arrive in a bustling area filled with people. Sandro was able to blend in with the people around because he was clad in an attire that was similar to theirs. A hat was also covering the top half of his face so it was almost impossible for anyone to recognize him.He walked through the bustling area with his head down and his hands tucked in his pockets. He walked for several minutes until he finally raised his head and spotted a shop by his right hand side. The goods that were sold in their shop were phones and phone accessories like chargers and headsets. Sandro wasn't interested in what they were selling. The shop had electricity... That's all he wanted right now. He swiftly made his way towards the shop and stepped inside."Welcome to Kang Accessories. How may I help you?" A bald headed man with a must
