Another day. In the Gomez Manor, in another country."You can't involve your son in this business." Elena's husband, Dane Dent said, raising his head to look up at Elena as he sat on the king size bed.Elena raised an eyebrow. "Why not?" She asked, walking to her closet, "He is my son, I don't think there is anyone else more qualified to take over the family business than my son." She added.Dane rolled his eyes irritably. "What about Emile?" He asked hesitantly.Elena raised a brow as she looked at her husband. "What about him?"Dane diverted his gaze from Elena's intimidating gaze, as he replied, "Well… You know.... Emile has proven himself in the past five months that he can be… he can be a good leader… just give him a chance." Dane said.Darting her eyes off Dane, Elena opened the closet. Taking out, taking out clothes. "Maybe, but he is not my blood.… only my blood can take over the Mafia when I die." Elena said bluntly.Dane was annoyed with her response, however he didn't show
There was a brief moment of silence as Arthur held the phone to his ear. Waiting for his mom to speak.Heaving a sigh, Arthur let out, "Just get to it… I don't have the whole day." Arthur said irritably, running his left hand through his silk blonde hair.His mom let out a smile from the other end of the line. "How have you been son?" Elena asked in a soft voice.The fact that she acted like she cared, annoyed Arthur, cause if she cared she would have been there for him. She wouldn't have left him when he was just a kid."Is that why you called, to act like you care?" Arthur asked irritably. Not taking her son's harsh words to heart, his mom let out a soft smile on the other end of the line, as she said. "Your grandma wants to see you." Arthur's mom hesitantly said. Not sure if her son will agree to meet his grandmother. "And your aunt's and uncles too." She added thinking that will make Arthur eager to meet them..Arthur was stunned for a moment. He has a grandma from his mothers si
Arthur let out a sigh, as he stood on the corridor, resting his head on the wall. He was hesitant about meeting Loraines parent. He knew they'll bring up the marriage, and say he and Loraine should now get married, and he was afraid he couldn't say 'no' to them? They were like family to him. And not only that, but when his parents were still alive, his step mom and dad, promised Jared that Arthur and Loraine will get married when they grow up. Not like Arthur had romantic feelings for Loraine anymore, but if Lorraine's parents brought it up, Arthur was afraid he was not going to be able to say 'no' to them. Because he didn't want to disappoint them."Hey." A voice jerked him back to reality. Looking the way where the voice came from, Arthur let out a smile at the sight of Loraine walking towards him. "Hi." Arthur let out, his voice a bit hoarse.Loraine grabbed him by the hand. "Let's go, don't worry, no one is going to force you to marry me… " Loraine said, she turned and looked in
Another day.On a sunny afternoon, Arthur sat in his office, typing something on the computer. A few documents were scattered on the desk. He decided to start focusing on work now, just so he can take his mind off someone.Thinking back to the previous day. Breakfast with the Bowens had its ups and downs. But it went well. Arthur was just glad that Loraine’s parents understood him, and now he doesn’t have to worry about marrying someone he doesn’t love at all.The idea of marriage or being in a relationship terrified Arthur at the moment. Whenever he remembered all the shit Stacey and her family put him through, he shivered inside. But he couldn't help but feel bad for Loraine, cause he knew how she was feeling after he refused to marry her. He was just hoping she doesn't distance herself from him and they can continue to be friends. Loraine was an important part of Arthur's life.Coming out of his thoughts, Arthur let out a sigh, he stood up and picked his cellphone up from the desk
Stacey, was in a good mood after seeing her new boyfriend. But her mood turned sour when her best friend Courtney brought someone up. Someone she just never wanted to hear about again."I mean, are you over him already?" Courtney asked. Her eyes monitoring Stacey's reaction.Stacey furrowed her brows. "What about him… he moved on already, and I think I should do the same." Stacey replied in a confident tone as she elegantly pulled her dark hair back. Courtney just flashed a smile at her friend, as she said. "Well, it's a good thing that you're moving on… just don't put the guy through hell, just like you treated Arthur." Courtney advised with a smile. She believed no one could endure what Arthur had endured.A scoff escaped Stacey's lips. Feeling annoyed at her friend cause she kept on bringing Arthur up, and at the moment, Stacey was trying to forget about him. And it was not going to be easy if someone keeps on reminding her about him. "Can you stop saying that name?" Stacey said w
The meeting was over, and after that Arthur decided to go home and rest.But when he got on the parking lot, to his surprise, his Buggati had a flat tyre for some reason. Which was annoying, and sort of shocking since he remembered his car was checked and maintained before he left.Sighing exhaustingly Arthur stepped out of the car, he took out his cellphone to call one of the workers back home to come and pick him up. But there was no signal in the basement parking lo. Arthur sighed in disappointment.Unbeknownst to him, there was an assassin, close to him, waiting for the perfect chance to attack. The assassin was sent by the same mysterious man, who had sent Austin Philips after him, and after Austin Phillips failed he decided to hire another assassin, and of course this assassin was better trained, and he had never failed a mission in his whole life.The sound of footsteps, had Arthur turn to look at who was approaching him. It was Dawn. She was wearing a black, short office skirt
"Who was that?" Dawn asked, with a concerned look. After Arthur disconnected the call.Arthur turned and looked at her, "My mom…" He replied."Your mom… why didn't you answer it?" Dawn asked."Cause I don't want to talk to her." Arthur replied, sitting carefree on the car seat.Dawn scoffed disappointedly,but she didn't say a word. Arthur didn't understand how lucky he was to have a mom. Dawn thought. If she had the chance to meet her parents, she would give everything in the world for it.Meanwhile somewhere else in the city.Garfield and Stacey arrived in Angeles City, and now they were driving to Stacey's family house, which was on the other side of the city.The ride was a quiet one, as none of them were conversing with each other. Stacey preferred to stay quiet most of the time.' It's funny how some men try too hard to have me. But my baby doesn't try at all though, and it's heartbreaking… but I'll get him back eventually, he belongs to me only.' Stacey thought to herself, leani
Stacey introduced her new boyfriend to the whole family. And of course, everyone was happy to see her new boyfriend.Gwendolyn, who was disappointed in Stacey for running away, didn't look so disappointed in her granddaughter now, after seeing the handsome man she had brought home. He looked stinking rich, and she was sure he could help her family rise to greatness.Gwendolyn, and Victoria sat opposite Garfield, while Garfield and Stacey sat on the same sofa."So, what do you do for a living?" Gwendolyn asked, as she poured wine for Garfield who was seated across from her on the sofa, with Stacey sitting next to him.Garfield lifted the glass of wine, took a sip, and then smiled softly, "I don't work…" He replied nonchalantly.Hearing Garfield's answer, Gwendolyn frowned, and it was visible on her old face. 'So he doesn't have a job? That means he must be useless.' Gwendolyn thought to herself, then she darted her eyes and glared disdainfully at Stacey who just furrowed her brows in r
