Chapter 16"Take care of yourself, Samantha; don't starve yourself, and take your medications on time," Mom advised. I sadly nodded. She cuddled my cheek and took a deep breath. "Your brother needs my assistance, and I hope you understand." I nodded. I could understand why she had to leave, but I couldn't help but be sad. Mom was eager to leave after Kheed informed us of my brother's situation. It is missing and must be found, which made me concerned for its safety. "Don't worry, Sam. Luther is on his way," Kheed said, trying to lighten my mood. I nodded once more. Kheed and Lucas will be leaving in addition to mom. They will accompany Mom in her search for Hunter. So the only person left for me to be with is who they claim to be my boyfriend. Before Mom finally got in the car, she placed something in my hand. A necklace. When she spoke, I would have inquired as to its purpose. "You never take that off; I'm just giving it back to you, Sam." I nodded and quickly hid what she gave me
Chapter 17"Was it a bad day for you, young master?" Manang Lucinda inquired of the young man who was sipping wine from a glass quietly. The young man didn't respond, still irritated by the girl's questioning. Nobody can meddle with his life. No one. "Your girlfriend is so beautiful and kind, no wonder you like her," the old lady said again, expecting a response from the young man, but there was none. The elderly lady sighed and shook her head, pitying the young lady who had just arrived. The girl was so happy a while ago, as if the long-dormant mansion had come to life. She likes the girl even though she only spends a short amount of time with her. They are lively and cheerful, which is ideal for their master, who has lost his smile. The old lady did not speak again, knowing that no matter what she said, nothing would change; the old lady felt pity for the girl when she suddenly remembered something. "Oh my God!" She exclaimed. The young man turned around when he saw the old lad
"Dude, you have to handle this on your own; the boss has other orders," I told Lucas as I got out of the car. He inquired, "Where are you going, and what did he say?" Samantha's mother and brother were standing next to him when I looked at him and shook my head. "I'll tell you later, I'm in a rush." I sighed as I shut the car door, unable to tell them what Luther had told him. They are still unsure, and there is no hard evidence. He also didn't want to offend the mother or her son. He can sense their anguish. Their tears are genuine, he knows they are really concerned about Samantha. Shaking his head, he left the location and began the mission assigned to him by Luther. He didn't like this mission. He didn't want to look into the girl's background. He is afraid that it might be the same as his sister who died at the hands of the mafia. This is also why he decided to join Luther's group. To find and perish the person responsible for his sister's death. There's a chance his friend's
"What happened, Young Master? Why is Lady Samantha unconscious?" Manang Lucinda inquired, concerned, as she noticed Luther carrying the girl into the mansion. Luther simply replied, "She's just tired from playing with Yuki," and climbed upstairs to the girl's room. "After you prepare the dinner, come upstairs and bathe her," he said as he continued walking. He could hear her response before ascending to the second floor of the house. He returned his gaze to the young woman's face and could feel his rage growing. He's just trying to be patient, but God knows he's not. Earlier, he wanted to shake and tried to awaken the girl to answer his questions. He will not stay quiet as long as a mafia associate is present in his home. Because, if his suspicions were correct, the girl was sent only to spy on him. Someone might have discovered their secrets, and this became their solution to discover the truth behind the thefts. He placed the girl in her assigned bed. He then turned away when
"I'm on my way to the company. Yeah, okay. Let's meet there," Luther said as he drove away from the caller. It was none other than Lucas, who had been preoccupied with the girl's family. He smirked as he remembered the girl's mother asking Lucas not to return to the mansion and instead stay in their own home. Her family appears to have been involved in the operation as well. Why would they want to live in a dilapidated house again when they can live in a mansion? It's strange that it gives him even more reason to distrust the girl. He examined the tissue in which the bread given by the girl was wrapped. He simply grinned and took it without saying anything, tossing it into the garbage can that passed by. Pretending to be innocent will not work on him. She will no longer deceive them, and he will no longer be deceived. He drove straight until he arrived at the company. His male employees greeted him politely, while women gazed at him seductively, as they always do. The young man'
Chapter 21"How long has she been here?" Luther queried at Lucas, who sat in the passenger seat and was on his cellphone. "Two hours after you left, Manang Lucinda said." " Damn!" exclaimed the young man, irritated by another issue that had arisen. His grandmother knows nothing about the girl, whom they never had the opportunity to tell. The grandmother is unaware of their relationship and has never met the girl. The girl is exactly the same. Even if she recalls something, she will never recognize his grandmother. She couldn't be with the girl until he explained to his grandmother the situation. "Have you considered your backstory? Gransil will most likely ask where and when you met," Lucas asked, still typing on his phone. The young man could not respond because he had already forgotten about his grandmother because he was preoccupied with the company, the mission, and the girl. "She won't buy that love at first sight since you have a bad temper when it comes to women." "Then ma
"What's up with that face? You look like you lost a bet, pfft!" Lucas exclaimed as he entered the office and noticed his friend's frowning expression. "Has it gotten any naughtier in the mansion?" "Problems keep building my way, fck it!" Luther shook his head. "I told you to just let Samantha go, so look what happened to you, blame no one for your fault," Lucas continued, drawing a glare from his friend. "Shut the fvck up." Lucas shook his head and returned his attention to his cellphone, while the troubled young man focused his gaze on the laptop, where every move of his grandmother and forced lover could be seen. The two can be seen laughing in the living room for nearly three hours and because of the distance between them and the CCTV camera, the young man couldn't hear what the two were saying. He installed a surveillance camera for the girl. He wanted to make sure he could watch her every move because he didn't want to miscalculate again. Later, he noticed the two getting up
"Are we going to that plutocracy?" Kheed inquired, his golden watch in hand. It's that time of month again, when mafia clans gather in one place to exchange alliances, expand their business, and prove their supremacy by joining the ranks of the X Organization. "Are you sure you're asking the obvious? That's the only gathering he never missed," Lucas replied, holding some papers on the young CEO's desk. "I'm just wondering, if we're going to lay low after the chase, aren't they already watching our every move?" Lucas did not respond because he had forgotten about the previous chase. He looked at his troubled pal, who had his eyes closed. "Are you going?" "Absolutely." "Aren't you afraid they'll ambush you for fighting against their clan? We've been busted," Lucas worriedly asked. What happened was not in their plan; they expected it to happen, but not this soon. They haven't even finished half of it. All they know is that his parents were murdered by two clans. Apart from that, t
