Other than his training, Oneil is also up for knowing more about the Antareses. This is something that he cannot tell to others, especially to Essi. She might freak out if she will find out that he took this troubling path. He also have no one in his house that he can tell with  about this. Sometimes, he couldn't help but wonder if he had any friend. "You have one. But he's married already. And he moved to St. Tropez to start a new life," Gwyneth told him when he randomly asked. "Unlike Essi, you had many friends. But all of them are gone to deal with their own lives. You're left with no one." "But do I at least have someone that I can trust and tell my problems to?" Gwyneth shrugged. "You were so inclined to Grant's most basic principle. He taught you that you cannot simply entrust your personal problems to others. You cannot just show to others that you're weak." Hearing that kind of principle is no more profound to him. He expected it and has

Match day has come just like as it is arranged. But even before it could begin, Gwyneth is already getting impulsive to make her own ways on changing her grandfather's mind. She though of sitting right next to him in the VIP room. The two of them watched the preparation in the arena. It was fast for the Antareses to look for the polo players to build up their members. The PGN Infrastructures already have one. With Oneil as their special member. The other team also has Ethan as their special participant. "They said that this is just a friendly game. Why are they getting serious?" Gwyneth asked for herself. But she didn't bother if the old man heard her. She was just amazed at the level of each team's preparation. They even have their team uniforms made for this friendly event. "Even if it is a friendly game, we still have to ensure the quality. This is a sport. This is not a comedy where people can make our representatives their clowns to laugh at." Perhaps, G

Oneil has been telling Gwyneth that there is something good happening in Grant. He’s changing. He’s getting nicer. But Gwyneth would not believe it. Every time Oneil would describe how their grandfather has been doing, Gwyneth would just shrug it off. “You should put higher standards, Oneil,” Gwyneth said without looking at him. She didn’t fail on telling him about her disappointment in the old man because of his shrewdness to get the Antareses to trust him. “Just because he didn’t scold us for getting late for breakfast that we could tell he’s getting better.” “But you noticed that he doesn’t get easily angry, right?” Oneil asked. “Maybe we should just get more approachable to him. Later on, we might become closer to him.” Gwyneth only rolled her eyes. “Whatever. I still don’t trust him.” Before Oneil could even challenge Gwyneth on her reasons, Grant had unknowingly provided it on behalf of her already by inviting Corrine again to their house.

Oneil’s day begins with a perfect morning. He feels good that he wanted to drive his car by his own and enjoy more of this rare gift for his workdays. The morning breeze meets his hair with a soft bristle as he opens the roof of his vehicle. His mood has made him to choose a convertible car for today’s travel to Tower B. He didn’t mind having many loads of work. Just the thought of Essi also working on the other side of the world makes him feel that he’s growing with her to become the better version of themselves. He arrived at Tower B with the usual smile and glances of the ladies who loved to greet him. He waved back to them before entering the conference room. He came earlier than the senior management team. While bearing the better position, he showed his politeness to his seniors and greeted them. When everything is settled, he glanced at the man who is at the presiding set. A knowing smile of Grant Mercator beamed before him. Oneil can set aside all his disappointments on his g

When Oneil finally got discharged from the hospital, the house that suddenly got strange though the same has welcomed him with all the warmth he seemed to miss for a long time. Jacques even met him at the door. His face is filled with surprise and relief. Oneil nodded at him as a greeting. This young man has been antagonizing Oneil in all of his pursuits within his career. But Oneil never took him seriously. He’s just a kid who’s bound to learn more. “How are you while I’m not around?” Oneil asked that surprised his cousin. “Not that great,” Jacques was careful in his answer. Is he talking about the incident in Forestier Village? But these familiar words and the way Oneil would show a knowing smirk after that question brings Jacques to compare it with Oneil’s past attitude. Oneil also got amused at Jacques’ response. Just like how he always do whether Jacques answered with fury, sarcasm or silence. “You have grown up. That’s good. You’re not s
