Chapter 21
Prior to his arrival at the Colwill's mansion, Irwin had stressed to John that he didn't want to be in the spotlight. He would only arrive as one of his guests, without drawing any unnecessary attention to himself. This way, he could both uphold his motive of keeping a low profile until his final mission was accomplished, and at the same time save himself the hassle of camaraderie. Irwin had blended perfectly into the guests that were gathered in the Kush feel mega hall of the Colwill family. The hall was said to be one of the few buildings to have such rare artistic feel. So many people have always wanted to see what even the renowned men in the continent spoke about the art of the hall, but no one could just willingly walk into a heavily guarded house like this. Throwing a banquet all of a sudden was an excuse for so many admirers to come, but sadly not everyone could be hosted. Only distinguished men of caliber, and some few hand-bags that somehow found their way in perhaps thr

"I am short of words regarding the purpose of our gathering today." He started, taking a brief glance in their direction. But when he looked again, Irwin was no longer there. Even Danny was shocked. He had only just looked away for a second, looking back Irwin was gone. "Where did that bastard go just now?" Danny wondered, turning about for a moment. It didn't take him long to lose interest. After all, Irwin was a nobody who must have tricked his way into this building. "Whatever. Perhaps the security team has caught on to his trick and kicked him out." Danny dismissed. Although his speculation made no sense to him, but he accepted it regardless. The major reason he had come here was for John Colwill, and the elderly man was now speaking. "Well..." John Colwill trailed off for a moment, confused about where the Supreme Commander could have possibly gone to. His eyes trailed through the crowd of guests yet it was to no avail. He wasn't sure of how to feel or react to this sudden

John Colwill had looked around, searching through the entire mansion for a trace of Irwin, but no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find a trace of Irwin. "Sir." A group of soldiers ran to meet him. "Did you find him?" He asked."No luck, sir." One of them replied. "May I say something, sir?" The other saluted and John nodded. "Judging by the status of the Supreme Commander, I think it's an insult to search for him."Before the soldier could finish explaining, John nodded as though he could already see the end of the suggestion. "It was wrong of me to have done this." John acknowledged. "Aside the fact that the Supreme Commander is the god of stealth, he would be very much displeased to find out that I'm trying to seek him out against his will.""After all, he came here and showed himself to me in the hall without me asking for it. When it's time, he would surely come again."John turned to the soldiers. "That fellow that was creating a drama with the Supreme Commander ear

Bethany at first was stunned by the sudden arm that gripped her wrist, pulling her away, but when she saw that it was Irwin, she smiled. The truth was that, she has been trying to reach him ever since she got better. Her father had warned her not to disturb the Supreme Commander with unnecessary calls since he had promised to appear at the banquet. She has decided to walk into the hall because she had expected Irwin all day but didn't see him. She had hoped that perhaps if she walked into the hall, she would find him. Walking into the hall, she had accosted an old friend who was still swooning all over her even though they haven't seen in years. She has been looking for a means to excuse herself from the long and boring conversation. Finally, his helper had arrived. She couldn't be more grateful. She willingly budged."Hey!" A voice angrily called, as a young man shot his glare at Irwin. All these years, he has been trying to meet Bethany again, even if it would only be for a few

Irwin Buckham couldn't help but wonder at the foolishness of Rowell for what he had just said. There were murmurs that broke out amongst the guests. Everyone couldn't help but feel an iota of pity for Irwin. "Burlique Estate is yet to be listed on the market as available for purchase. How can someone ever buy a unit?" "I heard that a couple of big shots have been trying to own a villa there but Sir John didn't let them yet." "I heard a rumor that Sir John is keeping the Estate for someone important." "Do you mean he wants to sell the estate to someone else?" "I don't think so. I just feel like, just the way he wouldn't release the shortlist of the El Gee project until the Supreme Commander gives the final approval, perhaps the same is happening." "Are you trying to say that Sir John has kept Burlique Estate out of the market because he wants the Supreme Commander to commission it, too?" "Seems like that to me." "That poor young man. Mr Rowell didn't have to do him like that.

"What!!!" Almost everyone in the hall exclaimed following what John Colwill had just said. Naturally, when John Colwill leaves a gathering, he would never return again because he was regarded as a very busy person. This was why it came off as an utmost disbelief for all the guests to seem him again. This time, he didn't just come to show himself and say goodbye to the guests. Instead, he had come to endorse a fellow whom everyone deemed to be a nobody. "Did Sir John just refer to that young man as Sir?""I thought I misheard. Is he an important person?""If Sir John had referred to him as such, then he must be someone important.""He's not just an important person but the owner of Burlique Estate?!""Damn, we were fooled by his dressing.""That's why it's bad to judge people based off their appearance."Rowell Atwinson stood their immobile, staring like a mannequin. For all goodness could lend, he didn't know how to react. He was staring religiously at Sir John. If what he heard h

"You foolish girl!!!" Sir John Colwill rushed forward instantly and dragged Bethany away pulling her ear. "Arggh, father. It hurts." She exclaimed as he finally came to a halt. "Have you lost your mind?" John yelled with all his might. Bethany Colwill was rather clueless following the reaction of her father. She wasn't sure of what to make of it. "What did I do, father?" She asked cluelessly. "How can you be so dumb?" John raised his hand, almost tempted to slap her. Bethany was his only daughter. He loved her with everything he could foster. Her mother died at birth, and ever since then he cherished her. As she grew by the day, he could see his wife in her which made him swear to give her everything good life could offer. Slapping her at that moment would mean slapping his wife, her mother. Truly, she had the uncanny resemblance of her mother. Aside that, he would never bring himself to hit his lovely princess. Yet, crossing the Supreme Commander like that was like being lock

"I was really worried about you." Danny Ceballos said, staring at the lady in bed. Ever since Isabella returned from the hospital, she hasn't left her bed. Sometimes she would scream out of sleep due to the trauma. The doctor had put the mind of her family members at rest after giving her a special care. As long as she wasn't strained emotionally, she would be fine. "You didn't have to risk your life by going to the hospital because of that loser." Danny continued, looking quite offended. After his confrontation with Irwin, a part of him felt guilty and he decided to race his way down to see Isabella. He couldn't imagine the thought of losing her to another man. "I warned her not to." Jessica walked in with a cup of coffee. "But that bastard must have spelled his way into her mind.""We thank God that the matter didn't go out of hand." Danny sighed in relief. Although Isabella was recovering, the paleness on her face was scareceless leaving. She must have gone through hell in th

The intrusion of the voice came with a familiarity that irked Danny, making him curl throughout every inch of his body. When he turned, he wished deeply and dearly that it wouldn't turn out to be whom he thought it was, but his guess was right. "You!" Danny snapped, too stunned to act any different.Irwin Buckham stepped in, cool, calm but with a solemn face. He scanned the room carefully and saw Isabella lying. As soon as Isabella saw him, she sat up instantly. Danny burned with anger and jealousy. He has been here for a while trying to cheer her up, but she remained immobile. All of sudden that Irwin appeared, she sat up?This combustion of rage and jealousy made Danny's eyes red as he turned to Irwin."What the hell are you doing here?" Danny asked. "Did you miss your way?"Irwin didn't bother to stare at Danny for too long. He was here for a reason. Ever since Danny mentioned that Isabella had called the cops who intervened at the hospital, he felt like he owed her a visit to c

James ran in first, then followed by Dorathy. The both of them seemed excited to show something to Isabella. "Huh?" James paused for a moment when he saw strangers. Neither James nor Dorathy was aware of the presence of Danny, let alone Irwin and Bethany. "What the hell." James gasped, letting his hand drop with the content of excitement. "Irwin?" Dorathy found her voice, confusion still splattered across her face. While she called Irwin, Jame's attention shifted to the lady whose arms were intertwined with that of Irwin. Seeing that it was Bethany, the lady from the hotel, his expression changed. "What the hell are you doing here?" His question was more to Bethany than it was to Irwin. There were a couple of unwanted thoughts pacing his mind which he didn't want to believe. How in the world would Irwin knowingly bring his new woman to their villa? It didn't even make any sense. "Why are you mute? Answer the question!" Dorathy yelled at Irwin. "Did you bring this cr--- lady in
