2024-01-23 22:30:47Scott 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 by the surveilliance camera last night. It showed you walk into the office and when you walked in,the video blacked out." Mr Fernando explained in a cool tone as he tried to understand what was going on."Yes, i did enter into the office. But i only entered there to clean it since it's my job to clean after every worker has left." Scott responded. "And as for the surveilliance camera,i have no idea why it malfunctioned. It was probably a power cut out or something."Pedro who has been sitting there,angry that Scott seemed to be answering every single question without hiccup decided to spoke up. "Every other camera was working,except the one in the office and the one in the locker room,so it wasn't a power cut out. You probably messed with the cameras just to cover your tracks!"After hearing Pedro's words,Scott shifted his gaze to Caroline who stood there with a look of surprise and disbelief. Scott could see that Caroline was starting to believe the words Pedro spoke."And when the item was found in his locker today,he claimed to have no idea how it got there and he has a witness who can testify that they were both together the whole time. But when i questioned the so called witness,she said Scott was lying and they both never hung out!" Pedro continued."I honestly have no idea how the item ended up in my locker. I think someone planted it there!" Scott voiced out,his gaze fixed on Pedro which sent shivers down his spine and he began to sweat."What do you mean someone planted it there?" Mr Fernando asked with an attentive look."I don't know. A poor boy like me getting married to a girl who has turned down lots of guys. It normal that maybe one of those guys who has been chasing her isn't happy about our marriage is trying to frame me and make me look like a bad guy and make you cancek the wedding." Scott explained in a confident tone.All the while Scott explained,his eyes was fixated on Pedro who now hadca nervous expression and became restless."You speak nonsense,Trash!" Aunt Zaya chimed in. "Who would seriously get jealous for a nobody like you? You are nothing but a trash that belongs in the gutter and not worthy of marrying the only daughter of Mr Fernando!"This time around,Scott chuckled after hearing Aunt Zaya's words which made her face go bright red in anger."I think you are just jealous that someone younger than you is getting married before you. I mean,look at you,you are close to 40 years and still living with your brother." Scott shook his head in disapointment.Aunt Zaya and other family member clenchened their fist and gritted their teeth in anger as Scott talked back at her."Look at him,he has no respect. He stole from us and still has the guts to insult Zaya!" Mrs Shiela voiced out in anger."I think Scott is right." Mr Fernando said." And besides he didn't insult anyone. He only stated facts. And by the way,did the camera record Scott actually taking the item?" Mr Fernando inquired,shifting his gaze towards the nervous Pedro."No,Sir. He messed with the camera before it could capture him leaving with it." Pedro replied."I promise i didn't take it. Give me a couple of days to prove to you that i am innocent." Scott spoke up.The entire living room became silent as Scott spoke those words. Everyone was waiting for Mr Fernando to give his final decision."It's not like i believe you,Scott,but i am jusy giving you a chance to prove yourself and bring out evidence that proves your innocence." Mr Fernando stated. "You have 10 days to prove yourself. Unfailingly,I will cancel this wedding and sentence you to prison."The entire room began to murmur among themselves after hearing Mr Fernando's decision towards Scott. They felt like Mr Fernando already liked Scott even if he was out of their league."Thank you,Sir. I would try to prove my innocence." Scott replied joyfully before walking out of the living room and racking his brain on how he was going to prove his innocence.

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 screamed internally after recognizing car from where he sat."Who's that?" Marie questioned."My fiancé." Scott responded. "Just stay here, and stay down. I'll be right back." 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. If Catoline also sees Marie, questioms would be asked.' Scott pondered as he made his way towards Caroline who was busy locking her car."Hey." Scoty greeted with a smile."Hi." Caroline responded.

They both rushed inside and Scott collapsed on his bed instantly with his arms stretched and he was panting heavily."Phew. That was close." Marie spoke, sitting on the floor and panting heavily. "Atleast it's all over now." She added."All over my arse." Scott's voice sounded from where he laid like someone who just got off a construction work."What do you mean? We dumped the truck, the cops didn't see us, it's a win for us." Marie uttered, bewildered by Scott's words."The problem with you is that you are so dumb."Scott was really pissed off by her words, but didn't raise his voice a bit.

Marie questioned, her words wasn't too clear because her mouth was filled with food, but Scott could understand her words."I work as a cleaner in a company. So i headed there now. After that i have somewhere else to be when i get back home." Scott responded, filling his mouth with bread and eggs.'I am right.

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? Is there like a war or something?" Sullivan blurted. "If it's a war you should request for 200 or 500 men instead." He added."Just send the most skilled and ex
Phonecall with Wang Jian
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. The man speaking to you now is the son of the man you killed.""Y

"Because it's also been a week since we last spoke." Scott bellowed with a tensed look etched on his face."That's weird. I literally thought you two were communicating all this while and you told him not to discuss with any of us to make sure things went smoothly. I seriously had no idea." 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? Did they turn against him? Scott did their boss, Cheng... could it be that Zhang Yang only lied about Scott being the new head? He only said that to lure him into Hong Kong so the whole empire could destroy him? But instead it was Sandro who fell into the trap.Sever
Rest
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
Starving
A high pitched screeching sound echoed as the train slowed down as the train was approaching the station , and when it finally arrived a whooshing sound was heard as it released compressed air. A few moments after it stopped moving, the door slid open and the passengers began to step outside and head to their destination.Scott also stepped out of the train with his hands tucked in his pocket, and beside him was Nurse Angela. 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. It'll be impossible for them to find us here." Angela sighed in relief."Before you book th

BANG!Blood poured out as the bullet went through her chest, and her lifeless body hit the cold hard floor. Sandro's eyes widened in terror as he watched Mei's body hit the floor."MEI!" He roared in anger and disbelief as he glanced at her lifeless body on the floor. This was his fault. It's all his fault. If only he had listened to her advice earlier and kept hiding then this wouldn't have happened. 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? I should have killed you by now...but I think you'll be useful for me in the future." Wang Jian stated as he lit his cigarette and puffed out a huge cloud of smoke. "Bring him to the truck, Boys. Me and my men are leavin
Consequence for your action
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. It was his boys who attacked me. I beat the living shit out of them and got one of their guns just in case. And don't worry, I wasn't followed." Sandro bellowed
Barren Landscape
"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. He only stood there in silence, trying to figure out how to get out of this mess.Wang Jian's comrades were already blocking the entrance door, so it was impossible to go out through that door. There has to be something else. A shop like this one always has a
Kind Shop Owner
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
