Dinner invitation
last update2024-01-23 22:26:00

Back in the Malcolm Fernando mansion, the whole family were gathered in the living room after hearing Caroline's words.

"You are getting married? To who?" Malcolm asked with a smiley face.

"Scott Carden." Caroline sounded with a warm smile.

"Scott? Do i know him? Is he one of the big shot's son in Spain?" Malcolm asked with a confused expression.

Malcolm was a man who dined with presidents and big men around the world everyday. How then hasn't he heard of the guy named Scott Carden?

"You don't know him because he's a nobody." Mrs Sheila chimed in,her voice mixed with anger and disappointment.

"Mom? Don't talk to him like that!" Caroline intoned.

"It's the truth, Caroline. The boy is a poor bastard who's only dating you to spend from your wealth!" Mrs Sheila shouted.

"Scott isn't like that. He's a good and honest guy." Caroline answered back.

"Can you two knock it off already and tell me what's going on?" Malcolm Fernando couldn't take the pandemonium anymore.

"Ask your daughter!" Mrs Sheila voiced out. "She brought in a beggar and said she wants to marry him."

"What? That's impossible!" Malcolm said in disbelief.

"Scott is not a beggar." Caroline spoke up.

"Fine, then. What does he do to earn a living?" Malcolm asked.

Caroline stood there in silence after hearing her dad's question.

"H-H-He's a cleaner." Caroline stuttered.

Mrs Shiela broke out in laughter after hearing Caroline's words.

"A what?" Malcolm asked,his expression mixed with confusion and disbelief.

"I know how it sounds." Caroline replied. "But Scott is a graduate. We could give him a much better job in the company once we get married."

"Can't you see what's going on here? He's using you,Caroline." Mrs Shiela sounded. "Once he gets married to you he starts making crazy demands. We can't let that poor wretch step foot into this house."

"You know what. Let's wait till tomorrow to decide." Malcolm spoke up. "Caroline, Invite this Scott over for lunch tomorrow. Since my whole family would be arriving tomorrow,everyone would get to meet him and decide whether he stays or not."

"So you are going to let that Riff Raff step foot into this house?" Mrs Shiela questioned.

"Let me just get to meet him at least before deciding what to do next." Malcolm replied,walking away and heading upstairs.

***

Relocating to Spain Scott has faced nothing but maltreatments and insult from the rich. Everyone treated him like trash and a nobody just becauae he appeared poor and wretched.

The only person who showed him love and kindness was Caroline Fernando. Even if she was the daughter of one of the whealthiest man in spain,she never treated Scott badly.

And now that it was time to get married, Caroline finally introduced Scott to her mother. But things didn't turn out the way they planned.

***

The morning sun flickered into the small room through the window and shone brightly into the eyes of Scott.

Scott opened his eyes sluggishly and got off the bed.

Picking up his phone, Scott saw an unread message.

"She must have texted me when i was asleep." Scott mused, clicking on the text. The text was from Caroline inviting him over to her house for lunch.

Memories of last night began to flash into Scott's head. How Caroline's mom humiliated him and rained barrage of abuses on him.

Now that Caroline informed him that her whole fimily would be there,Scott feared that something more than yesterday might happen to him.

After thinking for a while,Scott dropped his phone on the bed and walked into the bathroom to get ready for the day's activity.

Moments later,Scott walked out of the bathroom and quickly got dressed in his usual tattered hoodie and faded trousers.

After fully getting dressed,Scott exited the room and headed straight to the company he worked as a cleaner.

***

Scott arrived in the huge company and was greeted with the usual hateful glares and insults here and there.

"You are late, you poor wretch!"

"Why are you always dressed in those stupid clothes? Even beggars would reject them as a gift!"

"Isn't it time for you to die,Scott?! No one needs you in this world!"

Even if Scott never did anything to anger them,they still kept on attacking him because he was a poor cleaner.

But after hearing the same thing over and over again,Scott got used to it and didn't let it bother him anymore.

Scott quickly got changed in his usual blue cleaner uniform.

"Good morning, Scott." A female voice sounded from behind. Turning around, Scott saw a pretty blonde lader also dressed in the same uniform as him,carrying a mop and a bucket.

"Tory." Scott replied,heading towards Tory.

Tory was Scott's partner at work and also his bestfriend. The two has been working together ever since they graduated from high school. They always shared every secrets between eachother,but Scott never mentioned anything about his true identity.

"I heard you were getting married." Tory said with a wink and smirk.

"How come you know about it? I never told you." Scott inquired with a surprised expression.

"There's a saying. Bad news travels fast." Tory replied,dropping the bucket of water on the floor and dipping the mop inside.

"What do you mean bad news? We love each other." Scott sounded.

"Okay,but are you sure she truly loves you? Or will her family accept you?" Tory questioned. "Look at us,Scott,We are broke. Those people are not in our league."

"No,You are mistaken. Caroline loves me. Her parents might not like me, but i know she does." Scott responded.

"If her parent doesn't like you,They would do everything they can to poison her mind against you." Tory warned. "It's better to let it go now,because if you keep holding on to fake promises, it would hurt more when she breaks your heart in the future." Said Tory.

"Let's just see how it goes this afternoon." Scott uttered.

"What do you mean?"

"They invited me over to lunch. And i'll be heading there during my lunch break." Scott replied with a smile.

Scott replied,also mopping the floor."And then what? They just accept you?" Tory questioned."I hope so. All i have to do is relax and put on my best behaviour. Those people might not be as bad as you think they are. Not all rich people look down on the poor,you know. Some are different."

  • Where are we?

    The jet hit the ocean with a violent crash, a massive splash erupting into the air as it made contact with the water’s surface. It was as if the sky itself had hurled a stone into a glassy pool. Water exploded in every direction.For a few tense seconds, the damaged aircraft floated unsteadily on the churning waves, bobbing like a wounded beast, groaning under its own weight. Then, slowly, the nose began to dip, and the jet started its final descent beneath the surface.Inside the cockpit, the dim emergency lights flickered against the rising gloom. Scott remained motionless in the pilot’s seat, his hands still clamped around the yoke as though frozen in time.Every muscle in his body trembled with fatigue and shock, and his breath came out in short, sharp bursts. Beads of cold sweat slid down his temples and jawline.Beside him, the Arabic man remained in the co-pilot seat, his eyes shut tightly as if bracing for the final impact that never came. His chest rose and fell rapidly, but

  • The ocean

    Sullivan stood frozen in place after hearing Scott’s words—like a statue carved from fear and sweat. The black parachute bag was clenched tightly in both hands.“No… You can’t do that. That’s suicide.” Sullivan finally muttered, his voice trembling. “Let me do it instead. You get out of here.”Scott turned to him slowly, the roar of the wind outside now creeping through the fuselage like the cold fingers of death. He rested both hands on Sullivan’s shoulders, firm but gentle.“You asked about the rest of the men earlier,” Scott said, his voice lower now, almost lost in the chaos around them. “You want to know why they aren’t here with me?”Sullivan stared into his boss’s eyes, his lips parting slightly, as if dreading the answer.“They’re all dead,” Scott continued. “Every single one. I can't afford to lose another comrade.”He gave Sullivan a solid pat on the shoulder, gripping him tighter. “So stop arguing and do as I say.”Sullivan swallowed hard, emotions swelling in his chest.

    "You and I need to have a little chat before I kill you," Scott growled coldly, his gun firmly aimed at the man’s forehead.The muscular man knelt on the floor, his palm still clutching his bleeding arm, blood seeping through his fingers and dripping onto the polished metal beneath him. His face was flushed—red not just from rage, but from the searing pain radiating through his shoulder.He wanted nothing more than to leap forward and tear Scott apart, but the barrel of the gun inches from his face made that fantasy suicidal. One wrong move and Scott would blow his brains out without hesitation. No, the only card left to play now was cooperation."You're going to answer my questions," Scott said, voice as icy as a winter gale. "Every time you disobey or refuse, I'll put a bullet in a different part of your body until you bleed out and die."The man simply shrugged, grimacing in pain, but said nothing."Who are you people? And why the hell are you after me?" Scott demanded."I'm sure y

    Scott sat in the jet, wiping the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand. His breathing, which had been erratic just moments earlier, was finally beginning to stabilize. He leaned back in the seat, trying to regain composure.A moment later, the door to the cockpit slid open with a soft hiss, and Sullivan stepped out. His expression was etched with confusion and lingering shock from the attack."What the hell was that all about, boss? Who were those guys?" he asked, his voice low and cautious, still processing the chaos they had just escaped.Scott didn’t respond immediately. He let out a deep sigh, his eyes briefly closing as he ran a hand down his face."It’s a long story, and now’s not the time to tell it," he said calmly, keeping his tone composed. "Just focus on flying the jet."Sullivan nodded slowly but wasn’t entirely satisfied. “Alright, but… how do we know nothing critical got damaged? I mean, they shot at us like maniacs. What if they hit something vital?”Scott t

  • Really close

    Scott dropped into a seat beside the window and leaned his head against the cool glass. His eyes wandered outside, taking in the eerie stillness of the tarmac... until something abruptly caught his attention.Two black vehicles were speeding toward the private jet, closing in with alarming urgency. His eyes widened slightly as the cars tore across the asphalt and came to a sudden, screeching halt. Without hesitation, all four doors on each vehicle flung open simultaneously, and eight men emerged—each of them heavily armed.Without warning, they cocked their rifles and pointed them directly at the jet.Then all hell broke loose.BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!A deafening barrage of gunfire erupted, echoing across the open space. Scott instinctively ducked, throwing himself low and pressing against the floor. The sound of bullets tearing into the fuselage rang out like thunder.He sprang to his feet and bolted toward the cockpit, heart pounding. He shoved the cockpit door open and found Sulliv

    "Attacking the Head? Now that's a serious crime," Scott bellowed, his voice echoing through the vast hall. "And if I remember correctly, you said anyone who breaks the rules should be killed."Zhang Yang, who lay sprawled on the cold marble floor, swallowed hard at Scott’s words. His hands trembled slightly, and a visible sheen of sweat covered his forehead."Please... have mercy," he stammered, barely able to lift his head. "I don't know what came over me. I... I didn't mean to attack you." His voice was drenched in fear, and his heart thudded violently against his ribs.Scott’s expression hardened. He stood towering above Zhang Yang, his jaw clenched tight. "And here I was thinking I could trust you," he said coldly. "But in the end, you're no different from Wang Jian." His tone was filled with bitter disappointment. "And why are you begging for your life now? Weren’t you the same man who insisted I kill that other man earlier? You said all crimes should be punishable by death."As

    Scott sat there in silence after hearing the words of Sandro, his fingers rubbing his chin."I agree they will all be mad because of my decision, but I doubt they'll make any move against me. You worry too much, Sandro. Just relax and enjoy the night," Scott finally spoke up, his right hand squeezing Sandro's shoulder. He picked up a glass of whiskey and took a sip before ordering one of the guards to take the box to his car outside. He couldn't stand seeing the box anymore, knowing it was the head of his friend sitting inside."So when will we be leaving, boss?" Sandro inquired after a short moment of silence."Once the party is over, I'll be on my way," Scott responded. "I've already ordered Sullivan to fly the jet to China. He will arrive in a couple of hours," he added."I see. And have you thought of the person who will rule the empire while you are away?" Sandro inquired."Yes, I have. I already have someone in mind," Scott replied instantly as he sipped his whiskey."It has to

    Scott rose to his feet and made his way toward the man who was on his knees. His expression was cold, and his gaze fixed intently on him. The towering guards were holding the man's hands behind his back, making it impossible for him to move.Scott halted his steps in front of him and glared at him for a few moments before asking, "Who gave you that box?"The man swallowed hard before responding, "I don't know. I swear," he said in Chinese, his tone drenched in fear. "I didn't see his face clearly. He wore a hoodie. He simply gave me the box and said it was a special gift for you," he added."So a hooded man came here and gave you a box, telling you to take it to the boss—and you did, without asking questions or finding out who he was?!" Zhang Yang voiced out in anger. "You're lying. There's more to the story.""He's right. Why would you receive something from a man who's hiding his face under a hoodie? You had no idea who he was. What if it was a bomb inside the box?" Scott bellowed.

    Noise erupted in the dining hall the moment everyone caught sight of Memphis's severed head inside the box. Screams filled the air as most of the ladies bolted from the room, rushing outside in a frantic attempt to avoid soiling the polished floor with their vomit.Scott stood frozen, his body unmoving, his eyes locked on the gruesome sight before him. His gaze widened in shock, the blood in his veins turning cold even as a seething heat began to rise within him."What the hell is this?" Sandro blurted out, his voice trembling and his face twisted with terror."Do you know this man?" Zhang Yang asked, eyeing Scott closely."Yes..." Scott replied in a low, shaken tone, his voice barely audible. "He was my comrade."His eyes never left the box."Who could have done something like this?" Sandro asked, a mixture of fear and disbelief in his voice."I'll find the man who delivered the box," Zhang Yang declared firmly. "Whoever he is, he might know who killed your friend."With that, he rai
