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
"Great, do you want me to make sure she never comes back there in Warlington City, dad?" Garfield asked, over the phone, his face forming a sinister grin. He would love for his dad to agree.He had always wanted to kill Elena but he just never had the chance, since she was always heavily protected. But since she was in a foreign country, Garfield thought she won't be heavily protected this time, so he can get rid of her.His dad chuckled evilly from the other end of the line, and Garfield took that as a yes from his dad. But then his dad's chuckle abruptly turned into an angry voice. "Don't be stupid Garfield.. how many times must you fail to know that you can't get rid of her?…" His dad sighed. "I want you to stay away from her if you value your life, okay? As you already know, she doesn't like you because you almost killed her." His dad said in a stern voice and hung up the call, and Garfield frowned deeply.Bringing the cellphone down from his ear, Garfield let out a sigh as he slid
"Die!" The assassin let out as he threw a punch at Arthur with the intent to kill him.Arthur tried dodging, but the assassin was too fast, the assassin landed a blow on Arthur's chest with so much force that he staggered back and crashed into a car once again. Damn! There was nothing ordinary about the assassin's hits.Even so, Arthur still rose to his feet, shocking the assassin. His victim's usually died with one strike, but this guy dared to stand up? That only proved that this guy was no regular guy, that was for sure.Breathing heavily, blood coming out of his mouth and nose, Arthur clenched his chest. He was in pain, the assassin really could throw a punch. It felt as if he had been hit by something so heavy. It was at this moment that Arthur knew he had to stop holding back if he wanted to walk out of the place alive. Seeing Arthur stand up, even after he had delivered such a powerful attack on him, the assassin was annoyed and intimidated, but he was also amused at the same
