Stanley Corporation was one of the closest business partners of Donovan Corporation. It rooted from their family history being members of Uno triad through generations. Jonathan and Fabe grew up and trained together. Unlike Fabe, Jonathan admired her. He was vocal about his feelings and it was not a secret to the triad and their families.“Someday, I will marry you,” ten years old Jonathan swear in front of Fabe. Raising his right hand and confessing his feelings towards her.“Eww! You’re like my brother. Siblings don’t get married. You should know that!” Fabe scorned, knitting her eyebrows. “But I am not your brother! We are not siblings!”“For me, we are! So forget about your dream because I am not going to marry you!” Fabe folded her arms and gave him a cold shoulder.Jonathan was overprotective when it comes to Fabe. Every mission, he would always by her side and no one gets in his way. He would crushed those who dares to hurt her. When she was captured in Russia, Jonath
Beaten, Bryce was kneeled and restrain by Massimo’s men. Fabe rustle to him and struggled defending him. Fighting her father’s guards.“Dad! Stop it, please!” she begged, hugging Bryce.“He got all the balls to come here and questioned my decision!” Massimo yelled.“I’ll talk to him, just stop this!” Fabe cried, shivering in fear for Bryce’s life. Massimo stormed away, leaving them. Fabe immediately helped Bryce up and led him to his car. She took his key and drove off. “Where are you taking me?” Bryce asked faintly.“Home,” Fabe answered while driving fast. “No. Don’t take me home. Turn around. Take me to my favorite hotel. I don’t want them to see me like this.”Fabe quickly drifted around and took him to the hotel. She called his investigator friend and informed him about his condition. “Fabe, please. Don’t marry Jonathan.”“Why the hell did you face my dad? What were you thinking? He could have killed you without a trace do you know that!” she scorned, pacing in the
It was Bryce’s picture with Nova. The day she retrieved the stolen luxury cars and the day she killed Sunny Liang. Bryce passed out that day and woke up with the garbage collector watching over him. “This is what I’m telling you about! You’re busted and so is Nova. Dammit, Bryce! You two are being reckless!” Jim throw the pictures in bed. Bryce scanned it and remembered every picture. “Who would send this?” “It was clearly taken from the video camera. Shit! You’re going to get yourself killed one of these days, men.”Jim took out his phone and called someone. Informing about the pictures. “Who are you talking to?” “Frank. Stephen’s trusted friend. He needs to know about this before it blows off and reach Massimo.”Bryce also texted Fabe, but didn’t get any reply. He was thinking it could be her nemesis Eerie that was behind it. Other than that, he can’t think of any enemies that knew about his encounter with Nova.Moments later, Frank arrived at the hotel. He checked all
“Bombs!”Jim throw the basket out of the window and duck, covering his ears. Bryce crawled on the floor and took cover beside the bed. But after a few seconds, nothing happens. “Jim? Are you sure it was a bomb?” “I heard a ticking!” “But you didn’t saw what’s inside that basket? You just assumed it was a bomb.”Jim nodded and together they look out the window to check the basket. The flowers and a vintage alarm clock were scattered on the ground. “It wasn’t a bomb,” Jim clasp his chest, “False alarm.”“It was a warning for me,” Bryce uttered nervously and thought of the anonymous call. He can’t figure out the voice since the caller used a voice changer to mask the sound.Jim thought the same thing. But concluded that the next time, it will be a real bomb or a bullet in Bryce’s head or maybe in their heads.After the incident, Jim suggested to checked out of the hotel and transfer to his place. Bryce cannot go home yet with his beaten face and Fabe specifically asked Jim t
“Where are you, Bryce? I said come….”“Someone’s tailing me!” Bryce cut in, glancing to the side mirror. The car was still behind him.“Okay, ahh, I’m going to make some phone calls. Where are you right now?” “On my way to the Eleventh Street.”“Good. Just keep going,” Jim hang up and called someone. When Bryce passes by the Eleventh Street, a group of bikers came out in every corner and apposed the car. More bikers came out blocking the car’s way. Bryce took his chance and switched his gear, turning to an alley that pass through Jim’s building apartment. He quickly drove in he parking lot and ran took the elevator to the fifth floor where Jim’s unit was. “Jim! Open up!” Bryce knocked hard on the door. “Jesus! Bryce! You scared me. I told you it’s not safe outside. I’m glad you’re safe.”“Thanks to you. I know those bikers are your friends. I wouldn’t get away without them. Anyways, what do you want to tell me?”Jim click the recordings from the Country Inn and showed i
Dad! Can we talk?” Fabe interrupted Massimo in his virtual meeting with the triad members. “Later, princess. I’m in the middle of….”“I want to talk now! Please.”Massimo excuse himself and attend to Fabe. Lecturing her secretly for meddling in his meeting. “Did you know about the bombing?” Fabe confronted. “What bombing?” “Bryce. Their hotel room exploded. Do you know anything about it?”“I am not aware and why would you think I did it?” Massimo pulled her out of his office. “I was just asking. How about the triad? Dad, someone ordered to kill him and I want to know! You promise me he won’t be harm. If something happens to him, the wedding is off!” Fabe said and walked away. Stephen came in and was about to join the virtual meeting, but heard them talking. Massimo caught his attention and ordered to look into the bombing. “I want to know if the triad is behind it. I did make myself clear regarding Bryce. We can’t afford any complications right now. Don’t let your sis
Jim was dead. He’s got bullet wound in his head and chest. Cali found him on the floor, drowning in his own blood. “Stephen, he’s dead,” Cali said, calling his brother on the phone after seeing the body. Stephen reported it to his police friend and told Cali to leave the apartment before the police arrive.On the way, Cali tried to call Fabe and Bryce but they were out of reach. They are probably sailing far from Italy by now.“Who could possibly killed Jim?” Stephen mumbled, pacing in his office. Jim was a good investigator for the triad and knows everybody. If you wanted to find a person went missing on the street, he is the right guy to ask. Massimo initiated an emergency meeting with the triad to discuss about Jim’s death. He pointed an assassin on the lose to kill their men and asked the members if they ordered the kill, since he’s connected to Bryce Hamilton. And speaking of Bryce Hamilton, Massimo also pointed out the issue being connected to Nova and the possible rea
Fabe woke up to the sound of waves splashing against the shore and the pelican’s cawing cry as they feed on the fish by the sea. The white sand caught her eyes and the crystal clear water. She knew the place. That magnificent landscape and serene skies. What a paradise. Fabe breathe the fresh air. “Caribbean Island,” she uttered with a smile, “Caribbean Island!” She rushed outside and found Bryce playing with Liam. “Bryce! Caribbean Island? Seriously? This is your getaway plan? My dad knows this place. This is his favorite vacation spot! He will find us.”“Not if he didn’t know. We’ll blend in and live like the locals here. He wouldn’t know unless someone will tell him.”“Great. What an idea?” Fabe went back inside the yacht and took her big hat to cover her face. Anticipating that someone would recognize her. After bidding goodbye with the boat captain who were friends with Jim, Bryce took them on a small cabin near the beach where he rented for a year. Jim helped him l
