Meanwhile, Mr. Bill Wilson sat close to a priest, his head lowered as he sighed deeply.

“I’m going to hell and I know.” He muttered in a painful and regretful tone. “But there's something I fear more than going to hell… And that's not receiving his forgiveness for the evil I have done to destroy his life.”

The priest sighed, studying him, “Your own mind is keeping you in hell. It's time you confessed the truth and freed yourself from this burden called guilt.”

Bill hesitated as if thinking deep into his advice. “The truth?” He mumbled under his breath as he slowly recalled what happened several years ago. How the car exploded right in front of him, leaving him on the walking stick he uses till this present day.

“He will never forgive me.” Mr. Bill stood from his seat and slowly walked out. Perhaps, the truth was best left unknown.

Meanwhile, Clara and Lucas were not just dumbfounded by the manager's words, they asked to see Dexter's receipt to confirm.

Lucas suddenly became speechless.

That's right. The VIP table cost a lot! There's no way in hell he could afford that, which is why he went for the $750! It was the least he could afford since he had spent almost all his salary and monthly allowance in the club.

“This is insane! Dexter can't afford this! – Did you steal money from one of the workers? And… since when did you have a wife?!” Clara was clearly still in denial as she tried to process everything.

Can't they see how poorly he looks? He couldn't even afford to breathe in a place like this!

She was convinced that Dexter saw her post online and decided to come ruin her date!

He was clearly trying to spite her or make her jealous since they just broke up!

And the women next to him? Damn she was drop dead gorgeous! Her skin was delicate and smooth! Even Lucas couldn't help but stare.

“Do I teach you your job?” Dexter frowned at the manager, not giving Clara and her man a glance.

“Sir, Ma'am, I'm afraid you two will have to move to the regular table…”

“Yes, the one meant for the regular customers.” Dexter chimed him as if trying to spite Clara, and he didn't miss. His words sank into her chest and got her glaring at him with a mixture of pain and bitterness.

She stole a glance at the regular section and it was clearly nothing like the VIP table! It was crowded with customers, and wasn't aesthetically pleasing as this section.

She had already posted a picture of her being in the VIP table with Lucas. What if someone recognises her?

No! She wasn't going to let Dexter rub this in her, so she didn't accept moving down to the other section. “We were here first. Is it our fault? Scold your employee instead.” She crossed her hand over her chest before whispering to Lucas, “I thought you booked the VIP table?”

“I thought so too.” Lucas whispered in shock. But deep down, he knew this was all he could afford. The intercontinental dishes were already a lot for him to pay…

The manager cleared his throat. “That’s not a problem. The employee will be punished. You just have to pay and remain on the table since you two are already here.” He explained calmly.

Seeing that the manager was getting impatient with them, Clara slowly turned to Lucas. A nobody like Dexter shouldn't make them move to the regular table…

To save face, she calmly persuaded Lucas to pay at the table, “After all, our dishes have been served here. It will be a shame for a waiter to escort us there.” He gestured to the regular customers with disgust.

Lucas smirked, nodding in agreement. “Don’t you worry honey. We aren't moving. If Dexter can afford it, then so can I.” His mocking remarks made Dexter chuckle slightly.

Lucas wasn't moved. He was sure this poor dog had bribed someone to get in here… but either way, he's richer, and could double any amount that Dexter pays.

Clara chuckled, leaning her head on Lucas' chest, her eyes fixed on Dexter like she just defeated him. “Oh, baby… I know things like this are a piece of cake for you.”

“How much is it… I'll pay with my card..” Lucas asked pridefully.

The manager smiled, “Seven thousand dollars, sir. May I have your card?” He stretched his hands forward.

The smirk on Lucas' face faded instantly.

His hold on Clara softened and he immediately stopped himself from pulling his card out.

The amount he heard got him shivering that he had to confirm the price, just to be sure he wasn't hearing things. “7-7 what?” His lips quivered.

“You seem to be asking too many questions for a person who can double anything I pay.” Dexter calmly remarks.

    “...I guess we will find out once she arrives?” Byron explained to them, looking down at his watch, “She should be here in less than 5 minutes.” “We need to find a way to get that phone, or this is going to end very badly.” Roy muttered.“Is he going to hurt her?” Kim asked with a worried look.“If he's not going to hurt her, then I don't think there's a reason the young master wants her hidden.” Ivan tells them as he observes the smile on Mr. Byron's face.“But how do we do that? With the looks of things, he wouldn't even allow you to touch that phone. What if… what if.. Mrs. Ashanti already told him she is the young master's wife and he decides to tell her the hospital address so he can…”“Stop thinking nonsense.” Roy interrupts Kim, who had a nervous look.“She's right.” Ivan uttered. “Perhaps that's the reason for his laugh with her? Who knows? Maybe he laughed because he felt played by the young master for having a wife all this while and keeping it away from the family?” He exp

    “Ashanti? Who is Ashanti? My nephew has never mentioned this name before. Is this a business partner?” Byron glared at the name of the caller.Hearing that name, Roy and Kim exchanged glances, unsure of what to do.“What do we do… what do we do?” Kim whispered into Roy's ear, the tension in the air almost suffocating her.“Why are you not talking, Ivan? I need to know who she is, so I can know how to address her… is she a business partner? She keeps calling… perhaps she has no idea what has happened to my little nephew.” Byron turned to look at the unconscious Dexter.Ivan shook his head frantically. “I'm not sure, sir. Why don't you allow me answer it?” He stretched his hand for the phone but Byron had already answered it.“Hello?” Byron started.The tension in the place skyrocketed. Roy, Kim and Ivan suddenly became nervous as they watched him talking to Ashanti.The young master is going to rip their lungs out once they find out a member of his family was speaking to his wife!

  • CH ~ 0047 SHOCKING REFUSAL

    “That's not what we meant, sir… We were only looking out for the patient.” “You're fucking not looking out.. you're trying to make me seem like the bad person I'm not going to fucking allow that!” Byron barked at the doctor's face. The area suddenly became silent.The doctors lowered their heads and began apologising. They knew how powerful and extremely wealthy the Wilson family was. Their family has fast rising companies all over the world, with connections in every country on the planet.They could decide to buy this hospital and even all the workers here. They wouldn't wanna get them pissed like this.They would be having a death wish to even think about it.But Kim and his teammates were all bewildered. Their heads buzzed as they heard everything Mr. Byron was saying. They needed his blood now more than ever as he was the only person they could run to for help instead of waiting for a supposed donor. Didn't he hear when the doctor said the young master might not make it through

  • CH ~ 0046 MY NEPHEW

    The ambulance went in full speed and within minutes, Dexter's unconscious body was being taken into the ward by the paramedics.“More gauze, please! Increase in IV flow.”“Are we ready for surgery?” The doctor with a white nose mask asked as he rushed Dexter in. His hands were covered in Dexter's blood but he didn't stop applying pressure on the wound.“Yes! Everyone is on standby!”“Send the patient to the OR…”That was the last thing Ivan heard before the door was shut. He had to stand outside while Dexter was taken away and several nurses kept rushing into the ward with a sense of urgency. His heart pounded loudly in his chest with fear. Fear not just of his boss dying, but of the fact that with the amount of blood he has lost, he didn't need a soothsayer to know that the complications were going to be severe!“You bastard, you'll pay for this!” Ivan cussed, walking back and forth, trying to recall the animal's face! That bloody demon had a mask! But that's not going to stop him f

  • CH ~ 0045 THE NEWS IS OUT

    Like an animal being slaughtered, Dexter's blood trickled down the sidewalk. And one could believe he's definitely out of blood to even keep him alive. Slowly, the tall white man stepped on the stairs. One step at a time until he stood in front of Dexter, who was lying on his back, barely alive. He ignored the struggle in Dexter's eyes as he moved close, raised his leg and gently placed it on the edge of the knife that was stuck in Dexter's chest. “How long did you think you could hide your beloved wife from the Empire? You didn't think we were that dumb, did you?” A deadly grin formed on his lips. “D.. don't..” A painful tear rolled from the corner of Dexter's eyes as he looked down at the man's foot on top of the knife in his chest. It all makes sense now… The call…it was a set-up. Roy didn't call him.. it was the empire.. Oh, shit. It has all come to light.. they've all found out he has a wife.. He knew he couldn't avoid it for long, but he didn't expect them to find ou

  • CH ~ 0044 ASSASSIN

    “What could he be doing there with those flowers?” Dexter asked himself, his eyes glued to the scene with a confused and stunned expression. His cousin wasn't even an employee in Wilson Group. He had no business being there, but for some reason, he brought Ashanti flowers? How is his cousin getting his wife flowers and he had no idea of this? A lot of questions ran through Dexter's mind, but he chose to remain calm and watch the rest of the video. “...it wasn't my family who got you that house. But I can, if I want to.” “It wasn't you?” Dexter frowned as he realized Ethan had got this information from Ashanti. And with the shock on her face, it seems she was going to try to figure out who gave her family that house. He wasn't sure, but it's obvious Roy, Ivan or even Kim did a terrible job in keeping the Wilson name out of the job he asked them to carry out.. They failed to hide the Wilson name in the transaction. Nonetheless, he carefully listened to their conversation w
