The day was gradually becoming dark and it was time for Scott to return back home for work. Scott went into the changing room to put on his clothes and walked out and placed the uniform in his locker.

After putting the uniform inside the locker,Scott closed it and walked out with Tory. Scott promised to treat her to dinner to celeberate his upcoming wedding.

But it's not like Scott actually wanted to take her there,it was all Tory's idea. But Scott had no objection. He had the money to feed the entire country for centuries.

"Where do you plan on taking me?" Tory's voice reverberated through the dark and quiet company. The time was already very late and everyone already left after work.

"I don't know,you say." Scott replied while making his way out.

"Deveraux Restaurant." Tory implored sacarstically. Deveraux restaurant is the biggest restaurant in all of Spain.

It is a place where the big shots go on a date and spend lavishly. The food over there was really cost and no ordinary person could just walk in without having atleast $1,000 on him.

"Sure,why not." Scott replied,unbothered as he kept on walking.

Tory's eyes almost popped out of her sockets after hearing Scott's response. She was only messing with him by asking him to take her to Deveraux Restaurant,but Scott said yes.

"Did you hear the name of the resraurant i called?" Tory inquired with a surprised expression.

"Uh..yeah,i did. Is there a problem?" Scott replied with a raised eyebrow.

"Ah,no. I am just surprised that you woukd treat me to dinner in such expensive place. We could always go to the local restaurant where food are cheap. I don't want you spending all your life savings on a single dinner." Tory stated with a look of concern.

She knew how hard Scott worked in the company just to get paid in the end of the month. She couldn't imagine herself speding the whole fortune Scott worked hard for.

"You don't have to worry. I just want to celeberate with my bestfriend before i finally get married." Scott responded,placing his arm around Tory's shoulder as they made their way outside.

"Don't say i didn't warn you,though. If i am going to step foot into Deveraux Restaurant,i will make sure i taste all they have there and eat to my full." Tory replied with a smirk,causing Scott to laugh out loud.

"Haha,we'll see about that." Scott stated.

The duo finally exited the company and began to make their way to the Deveraux Restaurant.

Moments after Scott and Tory left the building,A figure emerged from the darkness and made his way to Scott's locker.

The strange man managed to unlock the locker and open it,placing a small bag inside and locking it back.

After locking it,the man quietly made his way outside to avoid getting seen by anyone. Before carrying on with his act,he made sure to turn off every CCTV cameras that were available in that location.

***

The duo arrived at the restaurant. A tall building with lots of modern designs and the name written boldly, "DEVARAUX RESTAURANT".

Tory glanced at the building with her mouth wide open,still in disbelief that she was actually going to enter it.

"Come on." Said Scott as they both walked inside.

The opulent restaurant exudes an air of refined elegance, with its lavish decor and tasteful accents. Crystal chandeliers cast a warm, golden glow over tables adorned with fine linen and gleaming silverware. Plush, high-backed chairs cradle patrons in comfort as they engage in animated conversations. The atmosphere is permeated with the melodic strains of a live pianist, providing a backdrop of sophisticated serenity. Impeccably dressed servers move with graceful precision, attending to the diners' every need. The menu boasts an array of exquisite dishes, each a culinary masterpiece, and the wine list showcases a curated selection of rare vintages. The air is filled with the delightful aromas of carefully crafted cuisine, mingling with the soft hum of contented chatter, creating an ambiance of unparalleled luxury and indulgence.

Tory and Scott could see the rich men glaring at them with looks of disgust.

"Hey,how may i help you?" A waiter beckoned on the duo polietly.

"We would like to book a table for dinner." Scott replied.

The waiter glanced at the duo from head to toe before replying. "Sure,this way."

The waiter directed the duo to an empty seat and made them feel comfortable.

"So,what can i get you guys?" The waiter asked,holding a paper and pen,ready to jot down.

"Just get her what she wants." Scott stated.

"Anything?" Tory asked. Her eyes filled with greed and anticipation.

"Yeah,anything. I just got accepted by my fiance's family,i need to celeberate. So don't worry." Scott replied.

After receiving the response,Tory shifted her gaze to the waiter and began to make order upon order upon order. Anytime she made a single order,she would glance at Scott's face,but he seemed to not be bothered by her demand.

At first,Tory found it strange that Scott was ready to spend lavishly tonight by taking her to the Deveraux Restaurant even if he worked so hard to get the money. But after thinking about it for a while,Tory finally understood what was going on.

Scott was dating the daughter of the richest man in Spain. Definitely she would often give him some tips here and there just to keep him smiling.

Moments after making the order,the table was now filled up with different kinds of food. Chicken,rice,wine,sauce,and so on.

From the sight of the food,Tory began to drool as she rubbed her palms together.

Tory wasted no time and began to dig in and feast hungrily. Se couldn't remember the last time she's had something like this. What she ate everyday was her usual junk food.

Few minutes later,the table was already empty. Tory and Scott both leaned their backs on the chair with their mouth stained with sauce and their belly the size of a pregnant woman.

The waiter walked towards them aftee noticing they were done.

"It's time to settle the bills." The Waiter demanded.

"How much?" Scott inquired,taking out his phone to make the transfer.

"$9,500" The waiter replied.

    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.

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."

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.

    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

  • Everything's changed

    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

  • Public execution

    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

  • Acting leader?

    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
