Morning came, Beatrice senses woke up feeling a soft mattress behind her back, it was very comfortable that she stayed still and felt it for minutes until she was hit by realization.She's not in her house.She opened and her eyes and a cream colored ceiling welcomed her, only then she realized what happened yesterday and that she is currently on Eastwood's mansion.She immediately recalled the confusion yesterday and was very eager to see and talk to Marcos, he knew her real family so it will surely be worth the time.Her phone ring from the bedside table, she grabbed it and her eyes widen in shock."I forgot to call my parents!" She whisperingly cursed.The screen was flooded with many texts and missed calls, she didn't bother to do anything and immediately called her mother.At first ring, the call got connected."Beatrice Ford! you kid! where are you all night that you didn't bother to call us? do you already forgot about us? we are so worrie
One month later.Marcus and Beatrice stayed strong, Beatrice felt that it was her parents loyalty towards their built friendship that was the reason, she can't blame Marcos as he tried to get them out of his own problem.She learned to forgive as she knew it will be what her parents wanted her to do, He was her parents greatest friend, she must not be mad at him.The fact that he avenged them is already a fact she will naturally accept, her parents are now resting and looking at her from above with smiles on their faces for sure.Marcus became happier than ever knowing that Beatrice chose to be forgiving while Marcos still feels guilty everytime he sees her but she kept on being nice towards him that he gradually felt it become little and little as time passes by.One month later.The Reeds and Warners didn't do much of an act against them which made them even more alarmed, only the twins Hex and Dex became famous after taking over the Reed's businesses.
Everyone fell into silence after hearing Henry Warner, no one was prepared for it.Jasper was dumbfounded and at the same time panicking, the old Warner just told his family to back off already and he will do all the job, doesn't it basically mean that they were no longer useful and will be dumped off?No! that can't happen."Sir, why would Marcus Eastwood involve himself and get my son?" He asked, he honestly doesn't know."Of course, to have him to his side." Henry casually said.Everyone became confused, who would want an ally as fool as Brix Reed? they knew he was a hard carry to the family who just got the chance to shine because his father is a complete misogynist and doesn't have any other son than him.Jasper wanted to ask why but he restrained himself already, it will be too much embarrassment to be clueless of your enemy's capability."Sir, why don't we all attend the party if ever there will be? that wouldn't just scare them but also grab
"Isn't it obvious?" The staff was stunned and embarrassed, she could only curse herself for being unprofessional, she thought that Marcus isn't that strict and so she tried to flirt with him."Oh sorry sir! Let me guide you to your table then?"She didn't waited for the two to response and walked ahead without looking back, she can imagine them being bad tripped about her, she can't afford to get called out or worst get fired.Since the restaurant was at the highest floor of the building, the table he reserved was the one beside the glass wall, the moment they reached it, Beatrice couldn't help but get amazed."Wow." She muttered."Do you like the view?" Marcus asked.She nodded and continued staring at the city lights, the cars on the road down looks like toys and it was adorable."I like my view more." Marcus said that made her look at him, she found him looking at her.She blushed immediately after realizing what does he mean.Marcus
The day after, Marcos formally started giving out invitations, it was not announced publicly but the impact of the news made every rich family in chaos, others finding their way to get their hands to the limited invitations.Marcus told his father to limit it for atleast 50 families since he was insisting a grand celebration with atleast 100 families.Marcos agreed halfheartedly, it is the time for him to reveal his son and be proud of him after all and he's restricting him, Marcus has never been fond of too much crowd.The Benilde received the invitation, Antonio Benilde was naturally happy that they were still acknowledged despite losing communication, he was amazed at Marcus's ability to remember those who gets on his good side.The Hill also received out of the fifty other families, naturally they are automatically included, Abby Hill found herself contemplating whether to go too or not, She can't afford to see Marcus with other girls though but in the end,
At the same time Marcus was celebrating his birthday, a video of him playing the piano and singing became a huge social media sensation, everyone was crazy looking for his identity, his voice was on par or even better with known singers that made everyone gushing over his identity.Some of his friends recognized him but was doubting wether it was really him or just a lookalike, as far as they remember, Marcus was not someone who can afford to eat at such restaurants, they opted on keeping their mouths shut to avoid embarrassment if ever it was not Marcus.Marcus stepped out of the car and was blinded by the flashed of cameras for a while, when it calmed, the medias started bombarding him with questions next."Mr. Eastwood, Why did it took twenty three years for you to reveal your identity to the public?""Sir, how much is the money spent on your birthday party?""Mr. Eastwood, is that a custom design suit by the famous brand booralro?" "Mr. Eastwood, ar
Marcos' statement earned gasps from the guests, it seemed like a war is really about to broke out, the long resting rivalry between the three families is about to come back."Marcos, why are you so grumpy? I'm not here for you after all, I am here to celebrate my grandson's birthday." Henry Warner said.No one even from the guests believed it, knowing that it is not hidden that Marcos was involved in the death of Drix Reed and Amelia Warner, no father's will be able to forgot like it was nothing."Marcus, aren't you going to pay respect to your mother's family?" Henry asked sarcastically.Marcus walked towards their direction and bowed slightly, "Welcome Grandpa, but I didn't invited you."His straightforwardness made the Reed's and Warner embarrassed, they were just branded as gatecrashers in public."Your father did, right Marcos?" Henry's tone was telling him to agree.Marcos just nodded, he thought it will be better to settle it in public than cr
Hearing Marcus's final answer, Henry was disappointed, he missed his smartest and strongest grandson.He will have to face him with his father then."Alright, happy birthday Marcus." Henry said before walking to the exit, everyone in the Warner and Reed followed him with a victorious smile on their faces, their wealth were saved thankfully.Everyone remained silent as they watch them leave.Marcos felt relieved, he looked at his son and smiled, he felt good that his son chose him than the Warner's and their wealth."Thank you." He mouthed.After few minutes of awkward silence, the host took the stage again to regain the liveliness."It's not too late to dance isn't it? The dance floor will be opened for the last part of the celebration! feel free also to eat again!" The noise came back together with the mellow music to bring back the live atmosphere.Every businessmen and women stood up and found their chances to improve their business, trying to grab investors.Some young ladies wer
