Chapter One Hundred Ninety-Seven
Many years ago, Federico Rodriguez was the most desperate man in the entire world. From being a boy whom many would argue that he came from nothing, he was the edge of owning the greatest enterprise the city had ever seen. It was at a time when a certain Martin Astana was taking over his family's legacy at a remarkably young age and a certain Sebastian Waters was at the helm of the fastest growing corporation, building it all by himself. Young Federico needed some leverage. He needed some headlines too. Each of these two men were called his friends, but he didn't seem to match up with them any longer. "Poor Federico. He will wait forever. The chairman would never hand over his company to an adopted son." Federico always heard the people's whispers. They never really thought he deserved anything other than being the side man. The lap dog which the then Chairman Rodriguez had at his beck and call.Even though he had married the most beautiful girl in the city, the chairman's daughter.
Chapter One Hundred Ninety-Six
The chairman could not wait for the various feedbacks to get back to him. James Halton had to inform him about his current status as regards the search for Lyana's dead body or alive remnants of her. That was not of the most concern to the chairman anyway. Scorpion had not given feedback, too, and that was more concerning. Was it that hard to find dead bodies in Ravendale?As the chairman sat in his office, writing a load of letters, he heard a knock on his door. Federico Rodriguez had not gone home for many hours. Maybe he was starting to lose focus, else why would he hear knocks at his office door at this time of the night. Not even his secretary was supposed to still be around.The door opened before he could say a word, it turned out he was not imagining things after all. And the people who walked through were no strangers to him.It was Martin Astana, Matthews Martinez, and the third man who looked very familiar."Martin... why are you here?" Federico was vigilant. This could be

Their activities were not so hard for her to spot, after all they let the door wide open for all to see.Unlike everybody else in the Rodriguez mansion, Julia had always looked after the chairman's children like her own. She was their nanny when they were kids. And she was the only person who truly looked out for their affairs after they lost their mother. She was a mother too, to a son she can no longer call hers. A son she could no longer recognize. His gentle smile and lively spirit, nothing but a forgotten memory.Julia could not hear the words they said to one another, but when Aurumia pulled herself away from Ricardo, she knew it was time to leave before anyone would spot her looking. Her legs took her as fast as she could muster.As soon as she closed the door behind her, the chairwoman
Chapter One Hundred Ninety-Four
Many years ago, in the Rodriguez mansion, things were a lot different. Peace reigned in the halls, and even the maids went about their duties with joy. Lyana Rodriguez was running around the mansion in her four year old body, having all the fun in the world. While in a particular corner of the mansion, someone else was in trouble."What did you do, Ric?" Mother wore a stern gaze. She always wore one when it came to Ricardo."I did not do anything!" Little Ricardo defended himself. He hated it when mother called him into isolation like this, taking all the freedom away from him. And that was about every single time."You know what you did!" She raised her voice, hitting her hand on the table. She hardly ever did that. At least not to Lyana, her dearest little princess. It was always to Ricardo. She hated him, he was sure of it. Only father ever loved him. "Tell me the truth now, or you will face consequences, young man! Dire consequences!""I swear, I didn't do anything!""Then shall

Ricardo's rise in sexual hormones hit a dip as her words made his heart weep in silence. He had always ignored that part of things, father not stepping down for him. He had never really considered it to be an issue. He thought it was only a matter of time, and the old man would no longer have a choice. But now he despised that reality. Now, he was desperate to take his place as the real top man in Ravendale."Don't worry, baby... the tides are soon to change..." He drove himself closer into her again, making sure to pierce through her thin dress so she felt his rod knocking on her door. She shivered for a moment from the impact, something that made his ego swell.She moaned. "You have to get rid of your father. As long as he is around, you will never get the chance to take your place."Ricardo smirked, slowly pulling her black inners apart, leaving bare her glistening skin. "I am already working on it. Soon, he will be forced into retirement, and I will be the one at the apex." Ricard
Chapter One Hundred Ninety-Two
Ricardo Rodriguez was still wondering why he got the red blemish on his face. He did not remember ever getting hurt in anyway, neither did he get into a fight. But if none of those memories came to him, how would he explain this obvious red scar he found on the mirror."This is weird..." He said, observing his face through the reflective wall.Not even a single idea, not even a single memory. It was as though it just came out of nowhere.Ricardo's phone jilted. It was his man, Scorpion."What is it?"Scorpion had a deep rooted voice. "Your father is hell bent on finding that dead body. Right now, we are on the move to that place where his body was dumped. Orders are to search till we get a lead."Ricardo was not suprised at his father's sudden obsession with Han Zimmer's dead body. After all, he met with that old man at the end of the world in camera. Even though he had no idea what it was they said to one another, Ricardo knew it had something to do with this urge to retrieve the bod
