Caiden turned towards them, saying slowly. “I live here.”
Before Caiden knew, the neighbors had all begun to come out one by one. Someone looked familiar in the midst of the crowd. He stopped to look deeper.
Dr. Mark. His rival from the hospital. He came from a very wealthy family and was one of Maelie’s close friends.
“Heyy, look at me before I smash this button on your head!” The man yelled with fury. “I'm talking to you and you're looking elsewhere.”
One of his men came from the back, tapping his shoulders. “Don't worry, don't shout too much Chiefman….I'll deal with him and then began advancing towards Caiden.”
“Who sent you or you sent yourself?” The second man growled, raising his hand to strike Caiden who rushed his hand up in reflex.
“Calm please! Let me talk.”
“What do you want to say? This Block belongs to the world's richest and you're here for…”
“I live in the King’s block.”
Immediately he said this, the neighbors roared in laughter. “You? Such a bold impersonator?”
“How?” Caiden ached his brow.
Chiefman lunged forth and grabbed his neck. “Who are you? Talk now before we break your head and legs. Of all blocks and estates, you chose here for burglary?”
The case was escalating. Caiden’s men weren't close and their phones must have been submitted as they were in intense preparation for the Auction tonight. He had asked Michael to go. He was here alone.
If he doesn't stand up for himself, these men will definitely deal with him. He put off the calm demeanor as it wasn't helping.
“Will you get off me now?”
Chiefman edged his brows, brandishing his baton. His group froze briefly before bursting into laughter. The jovial moment before disaster.
“Ha! Did this pretty boy just tell me, Chiefman, to leave? What a joke. You’ve been watching too many superhero movies. Trying to act like some hero, huh?”
“Boss, why waste time? Let’s just deal with him!” one of the thugs shouted as he swung a steel pipe towards Caiden’s head. Others were definitely going to join when a loud scream came.
“Heyyyyyyy! Stop!!! He's Dr. Howard.” The guard's hand froze midair.
“The doctor who helped my sister with her ectopic pregnancy years ago and my cousin deliver septuplets naturally.”’
“He's a genius.”
Everything stopped and everyone turned to look at who was speaking. Caiden raised his eyes slowly to see who had spoken for him, when Dr. Mark whom he knew personally silently watched.
To his greatest shock, he grabbed the woman. “You don't know him better than I do.” All eyes were redirected to Mark.
“News reaching me from his fiancee reveals he's been fired. Before a genius doctor like him can be fired, he must have committed a deadly crime.”
The woman narrowed her eyes in shock. Caiden was speechless.
“Don't defend who you don't know. He must have had that criminal spirit in him to come steal the moment he got sacked.”
“Let me prove it to you.” He picked up his phone and dialed some numbers.
“Let me call the daughter of the man who owns this block.”
“The billionaire heiress, the Chief Medical Director at Howard?” The neighbors are asked.
Dr. Mark grinned. Caiden stood still, watching everything unfold without a single flinch.
“Hello Maelie, guess where your ex is?” Suspense and anticipation rose in the air. He placed the phone on speaker, turning on the video function videoing Caiden.
“He came straight to your dad's block. Who knows what he came to do…”
A loud shout erupted from the phone causing the neighbors to gather. Seeing Maelie they believed Mark.
“I've been looking for him. Nevan’s men are gone in search of him. Let me quickly tell him.”
“Looking for him now?” Mark asked, curious.
“Yes, he stole my dad's card. The Black Mortgage Card. My dad is panicking, returning back. I'm just confused….how he managed to. Please grab him!”
Everywhere first blurred.
“Mark had said it!” The neighbors said.
“Give us that card!” The guards lunged at him.
Everything happened in a whirlwind.
The thug who attacked first was now lying on the ground, clutching his stomach in agony.
At some point, Caiden had already taken the steel pipe from him.
In the next instant, Caiden moved like a flash of light.
Heavier groans rang in the air as one attacker after another collapsed, groaning in pain. The neighbors retreated. “So for real, he's a burglar.”
“He's a criminal!” Dr. Mark shouted in confirmation but from a distance. “You shouldn't have defended him, Cecilia.”
“So that's her name?” Caiden thought within him.
People took out their phones to call the police when a man came running inside. “Dr. Howard, Michael sent me. Your file is missing at the HR. We need your passport and full Pic to process your digital details.”
“So you choose here?”
Caiden nodded. Those who had wanted to call the police dropped their phones, watching in disbelief as things unfolded.
“And the card, the boss needs you to use it for the commercials. Video must be ready before the Auction. It's the very sent forth we can give to you.”
The neighbors burst out laughing. Cecilia folded her palms with fury.
“So he pretended to be something when he's just here for a commercial with a fake card?” They were pissed but couldn't help ignoring the amusing feeling this event brought them.
However one person stood still as the pictures were taken of him. Cecilia. She stood up to defend him, normally she wasn't one that would stand up to defend people randomly but because of what he did for her sister and cousin.
Caiden was snapped and the man rushed off. The neighbors had all left one-by-one to attend to important things.
Mark was the last to leave but not without making a disappointed call to Maelie. “Such a fake dude. The card is fake. His presence here for a commercial. His sent forth.”
But suddenly his face twisted, terror overwhelmed him.
Mark’s expression darkened.
“Don't worry, I'll be there right away.” Saying this, he rushed off leaving Caiden staring, guessing it's an emergency.

Chapter 85
When Cecilia and Caiden arrived at the police station to make sure Derrick was still there, the entire place felt cold and unwelcoming.Caiden was still by her side, and she was yet to get over everything. She was gripping the strap of her handbag tightly as her mind kept replaying everything that had happened in the last few hours.The truck, the shattered body, the blood and the fact that she almost lost her life.They wanted to see the look on Derrick’s face, if he knew something about the kidnapping.Caiden walked beside her with long, calm steps, but Cecilia could feel the anger coming from him.His jaw had been tight ever since they left the house, ever since the incident, and his expression had not softened even once.Even now, as they followed two officers down the narrow hallway to the holding cells, his face stayed hard and cold.He had called the station himself before they came, just to make sure Derrick was still being kept there.He was still there, and they’re here to g
Chapter 84
As Cecilia was still trying to plead with the kidnappers to let her go. While she was about to be gunned down.She was still lying down, contemplating if it was her father, grandpa Fredrick that ordered for her kidnapping, or if it was Derrick.A few seconds later, as they stood in the middle of the empty road, arguing as they made their final plans.Suddenly, bright headlights appeared from the darkness of the road.It was approaching them with a loud roar, like it was a big truck.It was moving very fast, like the break had just failed.“What the hell is this, who is driving this carelessly…”One of the men let out a frightened scream before a huge truck slammed into them.The crash was brutal, very brutal as it approached. The truck hit them with a great force.Their bodies were thrown into the air, some were pushed in the nearby bush.Cecilia wasn’t touched, because she was kept in the nearby bush, so the truck didn’t get to her.It didn’t slow down at all.It drove straight throu
Chapter 83
Caiden left his office with a satisfied smirk tugging at his lips.The turmoil that had consumed the last few days finally seemed to be fading. Derrick was behind bars, and Grandpa Frederick was steadily recovering. For the first time in what felt like forever, things were beginning to calm down.But what pleased him most wasn’t any of that.It was Cecilia.She had chosen him without hesitation in front of her father. Even after all of Grandpa Frederick’s attempts to persuade her otherwise, she had stood firmly by Caiden’s side. The memory filled him with a sense of pride he couldn’t quite put into words.Thinking about it made his smile widen.His pace naturally quickened as he made his way toward the private lounge attached to his office, eager to see his wife.The instant he pushed the door open, his eyes landed on her.Cecilia was seated comfortably on the couch, holding a glass of wine while reviewing several documents on her tablet. Her attention was fixed on the screen, but a f
Chapter 82
Caiden walked with Fredrick, accompanied by the policemen from the hospital to the police station.As soon as they arrived, the doors of the police station closed behind Derrick as two officers led him inside.His wrists were secured in handcuffs, his clothes were rumpled, and his face was filled with fury.“This was ridiculous! I didn’t push that patient on purpose!” he shouted, struggling against the officers. “You had no right to hold me here. I knew my rights!”Neither of the officers responded.That only made Derrick even angrier.“Did you know who I was? Call my lawyer! Call my father-in-law! Call someone for me!” he yelled.Still, no answer, the silence was far more humiliating than any insult.Derrick felt completely helpless. As the heavy metal door of the holding cell slammed shut behind him, the reality of his situation finally hit him.He had been arrested. Not because of a misunderstanding. Not because of an accident.But because of his own actions. In his stubbornness an
Chapter 81
After his earlier heated argument with Caiden, he was about to head out to the hospital corridor.Derrick walked through the hospital corridor as if he owned the place. He dragged his feet as he moved, making his steps echo loudly against the floor.There was something arrogant in the way he lifted his chin, almost as if he was mocking everything around him.The clean smell of antiseptic, the nurses that were rushing in and out, and the urgency in the air meant nothing to him. People like him always acted like consequences were meant for others.A tired doctor stepped into his path, clearly exhausted from a long shift, holding a patient file and trying to pass without any trouble.He didn’t even get the chance to speak properly.As the doctor brushed past him and their shirts barely touched, Derrick suddenly grabbed him and landed a hard slap across his face.The sound echoed through the corridor, making everyone stop and stare.For a moment, everything went still. The doctor stumble
Chapter 80
The emergency ward had been filled with tension and chaos when Caiden walked in.Monitors were beeping sharply, while nurses moved quickly in and out of the room with a hurry.The strong smell of antiseptic was still in the air like a warning sign that something serious had gone wrong.Grandpa Frederick arrived a while ago from the jet completely unconscious, but other doctors had taken over his care since Caiden was quite occupied with Cecilia.For a brief moment, even the most experienced nurses had exchanged silent glances, saying nothing out loud. His pulse was very weak, his breathing kept on coming uneven, and his skin was now turning so pale, that the situation had felt heavier than an ordinary emergency case.Caiden walked in carefully, completely without panicking, because he knew exactly what he was doing.He rolled up his sleeves as he crossed the sterile floor, eyes were already scanning the monitor readings.There was no hesitation in his movements, only the sharp focus
