Chapter 91
There was a sudden shade of interest that raced across the face of the president following what Irwin had just said. Irwin had just partially turned down the offer of the president because of the old folks?"Of course." The President smiled warmly at him. Seeing this made him respect Irwin even more. Young men who have been able to attain half of the status and stature that Irwin had achieved often get intoxicated by the swigs of power. They instantly start seeing other people below them. Especially when it came to elderly folks. Those were nothing but weaklings to them. In the case of Irwin, he was willing to gamble his time with the president because of these aged folks. Irwin knew that the President was a very busy person who hardly have time to spare. Yet inside of the few minutes that he ought to spend with the president, he had willingly given some of them to the service of the elderly folks. What other acts could be nobler?"You know where to find me." The President said to h

In no time, several vans arrived at the district. It would seem like the drivers of the vans heard what Irwin had just finished saying, because it was point in time that he called the elderly folks that the chain of vans arrived. "This cannot be the president again, can it?" One of the old folks wondered. "I don't think so either.""Since Bana has just asked us to go with him, then it must be somewhere else?""By the way, where do you think he could possibly be taking us to?"As the folks were enveloped in their worries, a group of men from the seven vans approached Irwin and fell on their faces in front of him. When Bethany saw them, she recognized them instantly. These men were tycoons from the other city that borders Imperial City. How could they have been reduced to being the mere driver for Irwin Buckham? To Bethany, it would seem as though as the minutes passed, she came to discover another dimension of Irwin's influence and status. "Where are they?" Irwin asked, hardly look

There was a long silence in the van that Bethany was. She was in the third van which was a couple vans away from where Irwin was. Everything that the politicians had said about him remained stuck in her head. She started feeling quite stupid for ever imagining herself with Irwin in the first place. He was very much way out of her league. Even if she were to toil for decades, she still won't be able to lift the sole of his shoes. Men of distinctive calibers would go to any length to please this young man. Even the president was very happy to befriend him! Just who was he and how did he become such a force to reckon with?These thoughts spread across the memories of the past. She found her mind reaching back to the woman that Irwin used to marry. How foolish she was to divorce someone like this?For some moments, she wished she could suddenly disappear from the van then reappear wherever Isabella was and slap her to the point that she would never be able to use her eyes anymore.Not l

To Bethany Colwill, it felt like the universe was always plotting against her whenever the subject of interest was Irwin Buckham. No matter how good her intentions were, she always ended up screwing things up. It was the same way the day that she had offered to drive him away from the wrath of the men of Thorne. She had driven them off a cliff, risking the both of their lives. Same with when she met secretly with Isabella Rolan, she almost screwed the privacy of Irwin over. And right now the same thing. She felt like a mannequin. She wished that the ground would be kind enough to conceal her from this weight of embarrassment. When Irwin had left, she wasn't sure whether he was angry at her or not. The smile which he had spared seemed calculated. But that could all be in her head yet again. It seemed like it would be much more helpful if she stopped thinking altogether. Her phone suddenly started ringing. When she looked, it was the person whom she had anticipated. She answered the

"Before you all check into your new homes." Irwin continued with the discourse. When he had left Bethany and returned to the group, he had told the folks that each of them get to pick a penthouse of their choices. And ever since he said this, he hadn't been able to utter another word. The entire place had gone ballistic. A couple of the folks fainted, while the rest tried to bring back to life. Most of the efforts were successful, while the rest decided against believing that this was real. But as soon as the noise birthed by the shock died out, Irwin was able to chip another phrase in. He couldn't be here forever. He needed to go meet the president. The man was waiting for him. "I owe you a truth." Those last few words broke the remaining particles of noise. "If I am the only one who knows about this, then I would be dishonest to all the gifts and kindness that I have brought to everyone."The attention of the people suddenly became rapt as they stared at him. He surely had a way

Bethany's grip stiffened on the wheel for a moment following what the Supreme Commander had just said to her. But she was careful not to push the break and bring the car to an abrupt stop. "Only me?" She asked, taking a second to stare at him as though she wanted to make sure that she heard him right. "You have the right to refuse if you are not comfortable with it, but I'd wish that it was you. You are the warmest and most thoughtful lady I've met besides her.""Most thoughtful?" Bethany muttered. "I don't think I fall under that category. I'm more like a selfish person who only thinks about what would benefit her. I have done a lot of things to offend you yet you never held it against me as to make me pay dearly for my sins. And then again, after all you've done for me, I still had the guts to tell you how to handle the gift that was given you by my father." She paused for a moment with a bitter smile on her. "More like a senseless and impulsive lady, instead of being called a t

During the course of conversation, the steering of the car had been so light in the grip of Bethany that she didn't know that they had arrived at their destination. Although she was absorbed by the information, her eyes trailed the map indicator that was outlined on the android dashboard of the car. Her subconscious followed the navigation, while her mind lingered on the worries of Irwin. "Leave it to me." Bethany assured, taking this as personal as it gets. She had wished that Irwin would one day be vulnerable around her and she would do everything in her powers to help him. Right now, she thinks the time has come. What Irwin had just done was to pour his deepest concerns to her. He had never shared anything personal with her. Doing this right now meant that he felt a sense of bond between the both of them. Even if the bond is tiny, it was a progress. Bethany swore not to screw it up. "I will do more than you expect." She assured him. "Aunt Manny will glow like never before. All
Chapter 98
In a marked territory across the lagoon, there was a massive villa that stretched over a hectare of land. The building wasn't only gigantic, but it was an architectural web. It was woven in such a way that several outlets were connected to each other without disfuguring the structure. Surrounding the massive villa were different course of events. There was an open-field basketball court, a golf course, a mall, a seven-star restaurant and a couple of other things.This made the entire area quite busy, since people were coming and going. Each of the sport and event center was opened to enrollment and majority of the students came from the other side. This is Ball Peor. A haven of the privileged. Only families of the wealthy circle send their children who are interested in sports to this place. This was created to contain influence and facilitate learning. Naturally, if the only son of a popular business tycoon was to enroll in a common basketball academy where a bunch of middle-class

The first few moments between Bethany and the President's daughter was quite awkward and silent. Bethany, though older, wasn't sure of how to kick off with the conversation. Each of them would occasionally exchange glances. Then they would look away as though it was initially an honest mistake. The silence and awkwardness then revisits. They were in her room, and compared to Bethany's room, it was decorated with fluffy things. By looking around her room, one could easily guess what kind of nature she had. Bethany was looking around the room perhaps she could find something that would help serve as the object of focus for the conversation. She didn't want to say a random thing that would last barely for a moment and then they'd be forced to return to where they started. She really didn't see anything of interest until her gaze caught something by the side of the wardrobe. Her eyes squinted for a moment as she tried to be certain that she was seeing right. She stood up and headed d

Drawn with a sketch from an HB pencil was the stern face of Irwin Buckham sitting in the portrait. It was a hand-drawn beauty with some frail dents here and there. This was something that came as an interesting topic to Bethany, but her reaction cut across that plain drawing. What made her react in such a way was what was etched in the lower area of the sketch. [I love you.]Bethany found herself staring at Riri. Based on the nature of Riri, she expected that Riri would look away trying to avoid her gaze. To her surprise, Riri was staring back at her. Outlined on her face was certainty and surety. She didn't look like someone who was ashamed of what she has done. Instead, she seemed curious to hear what Bethany would say about it. The glint of her eyes said that much. "This is a beautiful portrait." Bethany looked away, making an attempt to change the approach towards the whole thing. "It's imperfect." Riri didn't sound convinced by what Bethany had said. "Isn't that the whole p
