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.

    "You don't plan on going over there,do you?" Tory asked with a raised eyebrow while they mop the floor of the hall way."I am going. She plans on introducing me to her whole family." 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.

They all acted like nothing happened as they headed back home."""Several hours later, the aircraft landed on the tarmac in Spain, and they all stepped outside and walked towards the car waiting for them a few meters away.They got into the car and drove off instantly, and after what seemed like forever they finally pulled over in front of the mansion."You all are free to leave now. I'll go in and discuss with Mr. Fernando about all that happened during the mission." Bolasco said.The comra

Bolasco didn't relent as he kept firing, aiming to get rid of every single one of them.The rest of the Police cars kept driving zigzag to make it difficult for Bolasco to aim."Keep driving, Matt." The sheriff said as he turned around and grabbed a bazooka from the passenger's seat."Are you sure it's okay to use that? Wouldn't it be too extreme?" The driver asked after noticing the bazooka in the sheriff's hand."Those scumbags killed sheriff Joe, and they just killed four of our comrades. I already gave them the opportunity to turn themselves in but they have chosen the hard way." The sheriff bellowed as he loaded the bazooka and placed it on his right shoulder."Just be careful.

    Scott and Mr. Fernando's men stepped out into the heavy rain, and they swiftly made their way to their cars. They pulled the doors open and stepped inside before shutting the door."Let's get the hell out of here." Bolasco said as he started the engine of the car. "We can't fly back home because of the storm, so we'll have to find a hotel outside this island. We will pass the night there, and when the storm comes and it's no longer raining we'll begin our journey." Bolasco spoke in a commanding tone before driving away, and the remaining cars followed after.They drove through the island under the heavy rain. The place was quiet, and the only sounds that could be heard was that of the cars driving and rain hitting the roofs."Dave mentioned something about this place crawling with cops but for some reason we haven't seen a single cop ever since we arrived." Scott spoke up after a few moments of silence."You are right. I also find it strange. But as long as we haven't gotten into any

    They all got out of their cars and glanced at the church directly in front of them. The building of the church wasn't that grand. The exterior of the building was rough, and just like the rest of the buildings on the island it wasn't painted. A bell tower could also be seen beside the building."Alright, boys. Just remember, they are fucking insane.. and dangerous." Bolasco spoke softly as he placed a cigarette in his mouth and lit it up. "I've told you all what Dave said, so let's just sell this damn opium and get the hell out of here." He added as he puffed out smoke before advancing forward, Scott walking beside him, and the rest of the men were behind.Bolasco pushed the entrance door open and they all stepped inside.The church was filled with wooden chairs. The chairs were arranged in neat rolls, and the statue of holy mary could be seen by the altar. As they scanned the church they caught sight of a group of individuals standing several meters away."There they are. Come on." B

The doors of the aircrafts were opened and the gangsters stepped outside majestically.There were already three black limousines and four sports cars waiting for them a few meters away, and a group of men in black suits could be seen standing beside the cars."Wait here." Bolasco said to his comrades before shifting his gaze towards Scott. "Come on." He said, and the duo began to advance forward.They walked towards the men standing beside the cars, and when they arrived in front of them they came to a halt."What's good, Dave man?" Bolasco spoke as he made a fist bump with one of the men among the group. The man was clad in a black suit, had a low taper fade, and a bushy beard. His neck was covered in tattoos, and his fingers were filled with gold and silver rings."We've been expecting you, Bolasco. Where is Mr. Fernando?" Dave asked, his voice deep and matured."He has some more important things to do so he couldn't ma

    The eyes of Zhang Yang widened in shock and he swifly got off the bed. "What are you talking about, Wang Jian ? Answer me! What the fuck are you talking about?" Zhang Yang voiced out, his voice laced with anger and disbelief.The words of Zhang woke up the woman lying down on the bed, and she sat upright, using the blanket to cover her naked body."Your father traveled to Spain to sell Opium to a certain gang Lord. Things didn't go exactly as planned and a fight broke up and your father was shot." Wang Jian explained over the phone.Zhang Yang staggered backwards after hearing those words, and he also lost balance but he tried his best not to fall."You know the tradition, Zhang. Anyone who sheds the blood of the person sitting on throne will automatically take over throne. The man who killed your father has been elected to be the new boss of the gang. That's why I am calling you tonight, Zhang Yang, to inform you about this." Wang Jian spoke further."No, no, no, no, it can't be! My
