CHAPTER 17: GREY EVERDEEN.TWO WEEKS LATERDecorative lights and illuminants lit up the whole household of the Gilbert’s mansion. Tonight was the banquet for the project the Gilbert family had secured two weeks ago. It was as if time was running on its own and thinking being in-laws with the Everdeen will make things easier for her, the acceptance for the party still took longer than she expected. Many top billionaires around Golden City are currently in the garden where the banquet will be held. Everywhere was screaming wealth. The decorations, the banquet tables and chairs that are uniquely decorated, including the decorative lights hung around the whole household. Everything there was just screaming wealth. Inside the mansion is the family with their favorable guests, congratulating them on their rare opportunity and while doing that, most of them were present to come humiliate Giovanni as usual. He stood beside Hudson, both men cladded in black suits, making them look elegant. I
CHAPTER 18: I DIDN’T KNOW YOU TWO ARE SUPER CLOSE" Since you’re short of words, can you please vacate to your table? your attention isn’t needed here, anymore! " Hudson inquired, gesturing them to move ahead. Mr. Everdeen shifted his bow-tie uncomfortably before retorting with an unusual smile; " Hudson Gilbert, we’ll soon become family and you’ll be needing my help so, why don’t you refrain from joining these two…. It’ll benefit the both of us! "" How? " Hudson couldn’t help but ask. As far as he can remember, Mr. Everdeen wanting Florence to be married to Grey is because he has the Golden heir on his side. The Everdeen are truly wealthy but they are absolutely nothing compared to Jeremy, not to talk of his father, to not even go to the Golden heir at all." You and I know that us being in-laws is to your own benefit and not my family so, whatever you’re thinking that’s putting ideas into your head that it’ll benefit the both of us, trash it! " Hudson added with a sinister, obscure
CHAPTER 19: IN RISK" Thank y’all for coming to this banquet, it’s a great honor to have this kind of party thrown after all the things that has happened. We appreciate y’all for finding it in your time to attend this party tonight but the biggest appreciation goes to the Golden. Having one of them here is like having every of the family member so, we’ll love to appreciate him better by giving him a round of applause. " Anthony proclaimed and a big round of applause was what followed." Not wasting anymore of our time, I’ll love to call the lady of the family on stage to address tonight’s occasion, welcome Lady Gilbert on stage with a big round of applause!! " Lady Gilbert smiled widely as she ascend the stage, taking over from Anthony who stood by her side. " Good evening everyone! It’s an honor to be here tonight and to get the chance to address this occasion. Well, as we all know, having someone big amidst a lot of people must be addressed properly so, I’ll love for Mr. Golden to
CHAPTER 20: THEY ARE MY VISITORSHudson was about to touch him when he noticed a red dot. His eyes widen as he rushed to him and immediately, a loud gunshot was heard. They all covered their young masters up in fear and Jeremy’s whole body shook as blood spurt out on his face. His eyes widen as they glued to Hudson who went down on his knees immediately. Thinking it was Hudson that got shot, the stand-men was about to rush to him but their eyes almost poked out of their sockets as they noticed Giovanni. His suits were soaked in blood and he stood still with a nonchalant expression. Addams hands dropped as he witnessed the scene and without waiting, Sam ordered in a horrific voice; " Go get the car, young master is bleeding!!! " Addams looked down at Hudson and noticed that the bullet passed through Giovanni’s body to his. Jeremy’s eyes welled up on in tears as he knelt in front of Hudson who has his eyes shut in agony. He raised his head up and made him lean on his chest as the tea
CHAPTER 21: YEAH, WE HAVE HISTORY" Patient Killen in ward 301 is nowhere to be found!!! " It kept repeating the same thing but the Doctor instructed them to ignore it and continued doing it until some Doctors appeared and inquired worriedly; " Patient Killen? What are you doing to these people? " They all stopped on hearing that.The Doctor instructing them, then, replied; " They are my visitors! " Lady Gilbert and his grandchildren eyes all widen in surprise on hearing that. They couldn’t help but to let their curiosity win over as they asked; " Is he patient Killen from 301? " The Doctors all gazed at them and they replied questioningly; " How come you don’t know who he is if you’re here to visit him? "" We do not even know him, we just met him and he came to us… I mean… We are not his visitors! " Abel tried to explain and before they could blink, they were surrounded by some nurses. They looked around and asked in confusion; " What’s going on? " the Doctors and Nurses all smile
CHAPTER 22: WHY AM I HERE?" Yeah, we had history! " He replied, with a light smile on his lips. Addams stood up right, then, asked; " History? Care to elaborate? " Jeremy snickered, heaved a sigh, then, inquired, staring at Addams; " You do know he’s gay, right? " Addams nodded and replied; " Yeah, just found out about that! " Jeremy nodded, then, added; " We were once in love but we couldn’t work out because of his sister. " " You’re gay, too? And you were once in love with Hudson? " Addams inquired, in surprise and Jeremy nodded with a smile. Addams lips slightly parted in alter shock as he kept staring at Jeremy. Jeremy noticed his quietness and had to face him to check on him only to find him staring at him. " What? Is it that shocking? " He asked and Addams chuckled dryly, then, implored, still surprised; " What more can be shocking than that? What now happened, what about his sister? " Jeremy heaved a sigh, then, diverted his attention to Florence, making Addams looked there
CHAPTER 1: UNEXPECTED BETRAYALThe wide muscular body stood at the age-old center of a mall, staring up at the billboard as it announced the early news in the morning. He was on his way to carry out the errands of his mother-in-law when the sudden news that’s gotten the whole city in an uproar made him stop. " We are live at the City Hall of the Gilbert where a lot of evidence was found for embezzlement and drug trafficking. News has it that the last child of the Gilbert, Mr. David Gilbert is the one handling the company where these evidence was found. billions of dollars, gold bars, drugs that are highly prohibited in the country and files supporting the indications of money laundering. " " What the fuck is this? Okay! I know he’s hungry for money but he can’t do this just for money? This is so stupid! " He finally uttered, shaking his head in disbelief as his eyes glued to the billboard. Then, his phone made a loud buzz from his pocket, startling those beside him who are also watch
CHAPTER 2: THE GOLDEN FAMILY HEIR" Mr. Giovanni Smith? " They called and Giovanni’s brows twitched into a frown. He raised his hand up for identification and two cops walked to him with a handcuffs." You are under arrest for drug trafficking, money laundering, embezzlement and abuse of authority. You have the right to remain silent or whatever you say or do will be used against you in the court of law. " Giovanni went dumbstruck immediately as he was cuffed, not understanding a thing that’s going on. He looked around and met his wife smiling face; " Bye-bye, husby! Enjoy the rest of your worthless life in jail. " It was as if Giovanni was having the worst nightmare of his life. His mouth went heavy that instant as he felt his heart burn. Sweats from nowhere covered him as he watch the wide smile on the family’s lips as they watch the cops drag him away like he’s some sort of an animal who’s going in for butchery.He kept looking back, his eyes glued at no one but his wife.
