Gerald returned back to his room. He was still looking angry. He did not expect that his daughter would drink alcohol in her early age. As a parent he felt like he was a failure and at the same time he thought that he needed to spend his time with Michelle. He realized that lately he has made Michelle disappointed.One example was when she wanted to buy a new branded bag with expensive price. Gerald refused to buy her because for a student, bringing that expensive bag was too much. Then, Michelle started to compare herself with Virginia. Michelle said that Gerald did not mind buying Virginia many things whether it was expensive or not, but not for Michelle. At that time, Michelle once threw her tantrum and ended up giving Michelle some money to be kept and she was free to use it for anything. But still, it was not really enough to make her happy. Gerald needed to show his daughter his attention by his words and actions.“Gerald? Are you alright?” Virginia came to make sure that Gerald
Michelle decided to run away from home because she could not accept her situation. Spending her gloomy days at home did not really make her feel better nor she reflected about her mistake. The alcohol has made her addicted. She wanted relax and threw away all of her stress again. She wanted to be free from her pitiful life.Michelle contacted Fred the night before because she wanted to meet up with him. She requested Fred to take her to a somewhere place hidden from the crowd. She asked Fred to buy her some alcohol again but she refused to end up like the nigh before. She threatened Fred not to do that again or his life would be in danger for sure. Fred nodded and he agreed to Michelle’s request. Because Michelle has recognized Fred as her lover, she wanted to confirm Fred’s seriousness.No one in the mansion noticed that Michelle was running away except Cedric. Michelle sneakingly went her way until she reached the road. She ran as fast she could after that until she arrived at the c
Cedric saw what his sister was doing. He was standing outside of the bar and peeked through the window. He did not believe it at all. He was shocked. To see his sister was hanging out with scums like that was not really good for Michelle’s goodness. Plus, there was one guy who dared to touch Michelle like that with his perverted expression. He wanted to go and took his sister back but it might ruin Michelle’s mood if he did. She might hate him. So, Cedric decided to wait for a bit.While he was still looking after his sister from distance, someone suddenly came and greeted him.“Hey? What are you doing here?” A figure of a middle-aged woman patted on Cedric’s shoulder.“Whoa! Sorry! I am not doing something suspicious! I just need to look after my sister.” Cedric spontaneously apologized. He confessed what he was doing to convince the woman.“Oh, I see. Your sister? Is she inside the bar?” The woman asked again.“Yeah, she is with those brats right now.” Cedric answered.The woman the
"Who the heck are you? Are you trying to be a hero?” The guy who was holding his knife stared at Cedric. He was annoyed.“Don’t you dare lay a finger on her or you will meet your doom!” Cedric threatened. He wanted to provoke the guys to turn their attention to him.“Bah! You are talking big, hero! You are the one who will die!” The man then ordered one of his friends to attack Cedric.Fred was still holding on Michelle tightly. He was spectating the unavoidable fight between his friends and that man who suddenly showed up out of nowhere.“I’ll take you on!” Cedric raised his hands. He was provoking the guy who tried to fight him.Michelle still stayed silent. She was found out by her brother. She was speechless because she was afraid that Cedric would report this case to their father. Her father would absolutely scold her again and gave her a bigger punishment. But, she was also looking worried that her brother would lose against these guys. She hoped that Cedric would win
Harold then asked the henchmen to give first aid treatment to wounded Cedric. They quickly got closer, moved Cedric to the best position, and close the wound with cloth. It was done to prevent the blood loss.Cedric looked so weak. He was still conscious but it seemed like he did not notice who have been treating him. He tried to move his body but he couldn’t even when he tried to say something, he did not seem to have the energy to do so. All he could feel was nothing but cold and he could not hear anything clearly. His sight was getting blurry so he tried to close his eyes. He went unconscious after that.Michelle was actually by Cedric’s side, crying and calling out of his name. But Cedric has already fainted. Michelle looked so happy that she could hear Cedric’s breathing, on the other hands she was getting really worried that her brother would die after he tried to save her life. Michelle did not want him to end up like that. She started praying for her brother’s safety.“Lady Mi
Michelle wanted to have a deeper talk with Cedric. She owed her brother a lot for saving her life. She finally regretted what she was doing. She wanted to change to be a better daughter for Gerald and also as Cedric’s sister. She requested Harold to stay outside of the room while she was talking with Cedric. Harold nodded and he was guarding the room from the outside.Michelle relationship with Cedric was commonly like a normal siblings. They used to ignore against each other regarding private matters. They did not hang out often unless there were family occasions. They seldom talked with each other about any problems whether it was important or unimportant. They were both lack in caring about each other. They tended to compete to get their parent’s attention instead. When they were both still kids, if someone did mistakes, one of them tended to report it to their parent. Winning over something like that was one of their great accomplishment.But now, things were different. Michelle d
The news about Cedric being hospitalized was spread quickly to the mansion. Everyone was so surprised to know that Cedric was almost dead. He was weak and could not move well due to his fatal wound. As for Miller and Lusiana, they did not seem to care much about it. For Vincent, he looked a bit worried. He planned to visit him later once his business was done. For Virginia, she looked really worried even though her relationship with Cedric was not that good lately.Gerald told Virginia about things that happened according to both Cedric and Michelle stories. He then requested Virginia to check on Cedric on the next day to report to him about his son’s condition. Gerald thought that it could be good chance to improve Virginia’s relationship with Gerald’s children. Virginia nodded and she wished to do the same thing actually.The next day came but something happened to Gerald. It seemed like he got a fever. But Virginia was so worried that her husband’s illness might relapse.“Gerald my
The news about Cedric finally reached the capos. They thought that knowing this bad news was very worrying. Thus they demanded Gerald to think about it thoroughly. They did not want the reputation of the mafia clan to be underestimated since the mafia clan has always been in the top tier. They knew that Gerald has becoming weak due to his illness plus he was getting older. They needed to prepare their new leader as soon as possible.Cedric was the absolute successor that could replace Gerald’s position. However, they knew that Cedric was not ready yet because he was still too young. They believed similar cases that could endanger the mafia clan would arise sooner or later. To keep the clan’s supremacy, they needed to always perform tough and undefeated. For the current time, they wanted to have a temporary under boss, a loyal and strong one. The under boss would be in charge to support Cedric as the vice leader.The capos requested Gerald to have a meeting to discuss about this import
