The sweet it hurts, the deeper it stabs; it's about the flower he cherished only to see it dried; he knew flowers appease the soul, but it never lasts long, yet it bloomsthe most. ~GeorgeGeorge went to his room, thinking about the little interaction with Shrey and Shrey; he felt happy, but at the same time, his mood was melancholic. His family was incomplete. He has to bring his daughter back.He was sitting restlessly on Sofa and thinking about his next move.He has a gut feeling that John knows something about the accident; he thought to call his subordinate, who suggested meeting with John.But his attempt to call him was wasted; he didn't pick up his call.He felt anxious about his subordinate's security and started pacing back and forth in his room.he sighed and calmed himself down, and called to call his assistants. "Good mo-morning, sir," She wished, yearning.He bit his lips when he realized it was only half-past three and he was disturbing someone's sleep."Lisa, I want y
George woke up, after receiving a text message from his secretary; Lisa answered, "Sir, peter is no more. Yesterday at three am, his body was found with a chit tugged in his left pocket, saying, "Meet me at XXX place by 7 am—I think you already guessed who I am, so I hope you don't disappoint me."He was pissed off and threw his phone across the room, shattering it into pieces. "Why!? Like, why? Is it because he advised me to pursue John, or is it a warning? "He yielded, grabbing his hair, totally irked. He wasn't able to comprehend anything; he didn't have any idea who the assailant was. He would only comprehend that it was Evelyn or perhaps John.Shrey's POVI'm lightheaded, waking again after a fitful few hours of sleep. I feel like I have been here for days already, even though I know the reality is it's only been a few hours.Sighed* I was peacefully sleeping next to Luke when suddenly I heard a faint yelling sound from the next room occupied by Mr. George. I bit my lip and coul
That's it, no more fear. Just pretend everything was normal, chanting this to myself, punching my left hand on the right hand and pressing my lips in a thin line, and gathering some confidence, I sat beside George on the bed.His scrutinizing gaze never left me; I wanted to hold his jaw and turn his face to another side. But no, I am not here to do this, right.?Oh, and this awkward silent ah, it's killing me. I came here to comfort him, but I didn't know how to comfort him, so taking a deep breath, I decided to answer his question, "there is nothing to be scared about." The word right was silent, not because of his presence next to me, but about the worry plastered on his face, which was visible in thin lines of wrinkles on his forehead."So why are you sweating then?" he asked, coming closer to me, and the distance between us was getting shorter. He smirked when he saw me startled."N-no, I'm not." Ahh, I hate myself for stuttering at this moment; never mind, I attempted to wipe my
My breath caught in my throat when I saw him dressed identically to how I was. Is there any surveillance equipment in this room? If so, did he notice me wearing it and decide to imitate me? "Shit, what the heck am I thinking?" I thought, Looking everywhere but him.Oh, never mind, he looks terrific, and- he muttered something that cut me off in the middle of what I was thinking. “Yes?” I asked him because I hadn't been paying attention previously."Let's go," he sighed, pulling his hand from his pocket. I embarrassedly nodded and proceeded behind him, the food had already been delivered and served by Mr. Hemsworth.We began eating our dinner, which consisted of corned beef hash and scrambled eggs."After eating, consume your medicines as well, and you may also go for a walk with a maid or bodyguard standing outside, feel comfortable, and please take care of yourself,"he remarked with a poker look, and I simply nodded, and soon our breakfast was served, maids and Luke's nanny had alre
"OK, mother," he murmured as he kissed my cheeks and walked away, and I sighed and got on the bed to take my medications and rest.Only 2 minutes later, I heard Luke squealing with delight when his nanny assisted him with his morning ritual.He ran up to me, hugged me tightly, and placed his head on my lap. With a slight smile on my face, I caressed his head.Luke remarked, staring intently into my eyes with eyes full of hope, "Mommy, Luke wants to go for a walk."I was hesitant since I wasn't sure whether we should go for a walk together, but when Mr. Hemsworth offered that I could go for a walk with maids or bodyguards, I thought to see Louis as well, as it's been 2 days since I last saw him, and I also want to check his wounds and locate his new location as I recall now his home was sold to Mr. Hemsworth, so I sighed and shrugged my mind and said, "Sure darling, but let me first speak with your father." "Mom, but dad and Uncle Alex is going to bring Kenny," he murmured with pursed
George’s POV (A few minutes ago)When I mentioned that Luke misses his sister, I was ready to go after Shrey who had a plainly distressed expression, but I stopped when I saw Luke cheerfully entering Shrey's room. I sighed and turned to face my brother when he tapped on my shoulder.He wished me a “good morning” and offered me a soothing embrace with a smile on his face. I returned the favor and invited him to sit down with me on the sofa.We spoke about how we were going to meet John and what we should do next."How is Luke doing, by the way? Is he alright? Although I didn't want to annoy her, I saw him enter Shrey's room and I wanted to meet her. I hope she recalls me soon" Alex uttered while maintaining a straight posture, stroking his thighs with his hands, and saying,A sign that he is becoming uneasy and losing his patience. It's not that I don't feel comfortable discussing my feelings with him; it's just that we are running out of time. I turned to face him and tried to find th
They exited the car and walked up to the five-story, eerie building, wondering why John had picked it as the location for their meeting.George took a deep breath and measured the results of entering the building while Alex turned toward his older brother to make a move. Although he had no fear, he didn't want to jeopardize his or his brother's lives at this time.Without glancing at his brother and donning his black goggles, George remarked, "Let's go," and he began to enter.Alex quickly caught up to him, while Shrey and Jenna halted their car a little distance away from the building and away from George's viewpoint.When Jenna watched George and Alex enter the building, she said, "Ma'am should we go inside.""No not now, we arrived here unprepared, and if we walked inside, we would endanger our lives as well as George, Alex, and Kendall's lives," said Shrey as she turned to face their slowly vanishing forms. In response, she just nodded and wondered how she could remain so composed
"Yes, just the three of us were meant to meet, but your brother deceived me." He stated this as he advanced angrily toward Alex, who was already gripping his pistol holder and ready to attack on John."Chill, Alex," John remarked as he directed his henchmen to emerge from the concealed chamber where they had been hiding, and leveled their guns at both George and Alex."I knew you'd betray us," George began, dropping his head, but shortly after, with a triumphant sneer on his lips, he remarked, "But what a fool you're to believe that mafia brother would come unprepared."George’s POVWhen I finished speaking, I abruptly kicked John's hand that was pointing a gun at Alex's head. At this point, there were only 2 of us and we were fighting for our lives.I knew this was a trap because the John in front of us is not the John we were supposed to meet, but he also knows where Kendell is, so I asked Alex to bring his Men as well.When I kicked John's hand, he fisted his right hand and hit Ale
