“Do you believe in miracles,” those words kept thudding on Sharon's head for several hours while on duty.

She didn't grasp why Michael made that expression while she constantly wondered how in heaven's name would such an amount of money be raised within the shortest time.

TICK!!!

It was already 18 hours on the clock, and most staff had rounded up with their work endeavors, including Michael.

Thirty minutes ago, he received a text message from Lord Eric Sanchez, which read; “My boy, we have an outstanding discussion.”

His mind was set on what information hadn't been disclosed yet and why he had kept it unknown for a while.

He believed Sheraton knew about what Lord Eric was about to spill, but as usual, she wore a professional outlook and stuck to the undercover mission routine.

***

In less than an hour— he was already in the mansion with his eyes searching through if he’d sight Sheraton's car, and boom, he caught a glance of it.

With a deliberate beam, he muttered. “I knew it. She's in

    Lord Eric stared at both and unleashed a short smile as though he somewhat eavesdropped on their conversation.[Could he have?]“My boy, during the winemaking processes, what have you observed?” Lord Eric chimed with another intriguing question.Without explanation, Michael already knew his questions were on a route to a premeditated direction, and whatever the answer could be would be related to why he opted for a discussion.“Well, I have taken cognizant of some winemaking routines but one that's most striking is the finishing touch…” he got into words and paused for a while to find the perfect words to use.Lord Eric gestured his left arm out for him to continue already.Michael switched his gaze towards Sheraton as hints of what he had seen in the winery company replayed in his head once again.“I have observed that during the final wine mixing process, the last elements and unique flavors are solely done by Sheraton in her private office, which no other staff has access to.”“I b

    ***5:56 AM*** 5:57***5:58***5:59** and finally, at 6:00 AM on the dot, a resounding ringing tone was perceived.The call buzzed Sharon out of slumber with a persistent vibration in her ears.She reactively woke up with her eyes narrowed while bulging at the echoing phone call singing across her apartment.“An unsaved number? Calling this early?” she mumbled with a deep sigh before attempting to pick up the call.“Hello…” her voice crept out expecting a swift response from the goddamn caller disrupting her sleep.She barely slept all through the night with deep thoughts of her mum's deteriorating health knowing she'd be pronounced dead in a few days.In split seconds, the caller's voice broke out with much hastiness and urgency:“C’mon Miss, where are you? Your mother will soon be moved to the Operating Theatre at exactly 6:25 AM. You should be here to at least say some encouraging words to her before the surgeons take over.”Sharon flickered her eyes in absolute confusion while she a

    A series of palpitations was induced in the air as Sharon's ears were slammed with an eerie thudding sound after those shocking words oozed out from her lips.Michael stood in silence with his eyeballs glued at her without knowing the best words to employ.He was astute in judging people's emotions and character, but for some reason, he saw more of her good traits.“I know you're mad at your discovery and wouldn't hesitate in reporting me to the higher administrative positions.”“Yes, I know that's what you'd do, my fate is already doomed,” her muffled voice etched with intense regret.He remained speechless while garnering the perfect means of addressing the unforeseen development.“My instincts tell me you didn't want this. What happened? The odd Samaritan needs to know the full story and the subjects involved in the evil plot.”His words were charmed with in-depth wisdom, his tone wrapped in great intuition while he surprisingly maintained a mild composure.She flinched in extreme

    Michael rolled his eyes in building thoughts; her last words trapped him in more depth on the mystery behind the mole scheme against Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise.[It seemed like there was more to what they presumed]“During a couple of our meetings with the topmost players. I notice an unknown personnel covered in a silhouette while feeding them with information about our company.”“The strange person’s identity was deliberately hidden from us and I am certain that mysterious personnel had had a past relationship with Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise.”Sharon's words were enmeshed in certainty; she didn't obviously have a reason to tell lies, given the fact she had exposed herself as a mole.After a few seconds of further pondering; Michael's lips finally let loose:“You’ve been blackmailed into working for the bad guys. Although you're guilty of falling prey out of desperation, I'd give you a second chance to make amends.”“I’d advise you to think carefully before responding.”Her s

    ***“Lucas! Fetch Great Lord a glass of water!”“Be fast!” Sheraton yelled with terrified bulging eyes.Lucas, one of the senior household staff, without further ado, sprinted towards the kitchen to do the needful, his heart racing with urgency.“Great Lord, please… breathe… try and breathe out,” she voiced out in gripping fear.Ten minutes ago, Sheraton stormed into the mansion to explain better about Michael's abduction as the Great Lord couldn't make sense of what she was spilling in the phone call.“My God! Please hold on Sir… Lucas has brought the water.”In great palpitations of the unprecedented negative news, Lord Eric's breath has been distorted for almost two minutes, his airflow and blood flow disrupted due to the shock of the kidnap.He managed to sip in half of the glass of water, followed by an exasperated sigh of sadness.“Oh, my boy. Do you think they had already killed him?” he mouthed from the deepest part of his heart, his veins quickly running cold.His question us

    The heavy gunshot birthed moments of gripping silence as seven bewildered faces irresistibly glanced at one another with mouths somewhat widening.It's been over thirty seconds, and no words, not even a scratch of the thick grasses, were perceived.Suddenly an uproar of intense laughter broke out like a troubling storm.“Hahaha!!!” All gang members barked out in severe chuckles and giggles with their hands held onto their stomachs.Michael, who had been holding firmly to the gripping laughter, couldn't help but widen his mouth and have it all gutted out.“OMG! You guys are excellent actors. At some point, I thought I was dealing with seasoned entertainers!”“I could bet that most eyewitnesses thought I was actually being kidnapped after the precise uppercut!” He gave in to more chuckling.“Haha! Richard? Was that gunshot necessary? You still haven't changed, still the same good actor right from college days!” Michael happily teased while the two embraced each other after long years of

    “It’s been twenty minutes since his abduction, and we have no clue what the assassins want! Not even a single call from them!”“We don't even know if Michael Scofield is still breathing!” Lord Eric bawled out, which induced more tension in the atmosphere; his emotions switched from fear to enrage.The seven household staff members in the living room lowered their gazes downward; they knew better not to stare upon the Great Lord when furious.“Enough is enough! I'm calling in the Chief Police officer to handle the kidnap case! I can't watch my boy die without a fight!”Sheraton widened her mouth to speak, then, within a split of seconds, swallowed hard with thick words clung to her tongue.A voice calmly mouthed from the atmosphere. “The Great Lord, please let's wait till at least thirty minutes of his kidnap. Once you make that phone call, Michael Scofield’s undercover would be blown, and the media would know he's linked with you.”Lucas held tight his gripping goosebumps and managed

Come over there!”Augustine's family received a hasty phone call from him demanding an urgent conversation.Different thoughts clouded their hearts and it was only moments for answers to be known.“Why the urgency? Has your father changed his mind on our concealed engagement?” Michelle inquired in sharp breath with eyelid profusely blinking.“Hey, next time add ‘Madam’ while addressing me,” Catherine spatted with a somewhat furrowed expression, her right finger positioned on her waist.He stormed before them with no ounce of giggle registered on his face“If my dad has changed his mind? You had better wake up from your delusional fantasies.”“I would no longer add ‘Madam.’ You lost that respect the moment you chose to sleep with Barr. Frederick.”“...Well, we have a bigger problem!”“Again!!?” Catherine and Michelle shrieked in deep worry, t

    At midnight, Michael stood in the dark, his hands in his front pockets while waiting.In less than thirty seconds, footsteps echoed across as Jacob approached his direction, a thick manila folder wrapped in his hand.Jacob, his lawyer, didn't waste time at the midnight meeting.“It’s worse than we thought,” he got into words, handing over the file.“We carefully traced the leaks back to former employees; people who were loyal to Marshall. But this isn’t just about you.”Michael reactively flipped through the pages of the file. The deeper he read, the more intrigued he was to know what it was all about.“They’re surely coming after Lord Eric next,” he continued. “From all understanding Marshall and Gerald aren’t satisfied with just tarnishing your name. They want to dismantle everything Eric built.”Michael's lips laced with a scoff. “These guys never seem to amaze me”Jacob sighed before continuing. “Eric’s company is still a major player in the industry due to your significant input.

    Her words rang a chord in his head. He knew those words had once been said by someone in the past.DONG!Yes! It was from his biological father; Oliver King.A hint of his words replayed in Michael's head on how they trained him to have whatever he requested and demanded.Marshall would always frown if he had been said no to because he thought and believed no one could.Michael escaped from his thoughts and focused back on her.“Where did you get from?” He asked, trying to play the pretense card.Christine swallowed in some saliva about to divulge some information she hadn't spoken about in years.“When the Boss gave Marshall the impression he'd become the heir of the company given the fact we believed he was the only offspring of the family.”“He used to come by to supervise the daily activities of the staff and how businesses were being operated. But…”Michael knitted his forehead, willing to know what the but was for.“Speak on. I'm all ears.”He urged her to unleash the cat from t

    Michael jotted from his thoughts with his eyes squinted while staring at the lady a few distance from him.Her countenance soured with visible concerns about the challenging moments.Tarnishing content broadcasted by the media with false transactions that never really occurred.A tool of deception so carefully crafted that, if left unchecked, it would be enough to destroy him and all he had built.The price of hard work, creativity, and success was all a smooth road path. It has been a rollercoaster for Michael since he officially became the COO/CEO of three booming industries The female staff all along was Christine who walked closer after he nodded his head to entertain what she had in mind.Her glances laced with frustration— she had wished for the newly appointed CEO to have an interrupted administration but the reality was a stark contrast.“Do sit down,” he calmly asked her while heading to his designated high table at the conference office.“Sir, I would prefer standing.”She

    Michael softly smirked and tutted his lips. “A puppet CEO who supposedly embezzled millions?”He had heard the opinions of some media industries about him, and as expected, it didn't come out nicely.He didn't expect the media houses who were quick to run such headlines to have integrity and would easily be swayed to promote content that would incite controversies.The more they broadcast such notions, the more their chances of earning from public opinion expand.He remembered vividly during his trial for embezzling funds from Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise accounts. The same media expertise took it a life duty to broadcast the fabricated evidence.“Seemed so,” Claire chipped in. “It’s ridiculous that some media industries are pushing the narrative rapidly. Gosh!”Michael wasn't surprised about the rapid spread of those indicting news. Marshall wouldn't embark on such a war without having some media enterprises in his control.Hence, those designated media industries might have been i

Inside were detailed financial records; his own financial records, except they were manipulated with false transactions.The numbers painted an untrustworthy picture, making it appear as if he had been funneling company funds into personal offshore accounts.When he had just got out of the fabricated transactions in Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise. His foes swiftly attacked through his father's company.“They’ve been tampered with,” She continued, her vo

    Each stare from Scarlett reeked of utmost confidence. He didn't have any doubt about her trust in him.Regardless of what the headlines would say about him— Scarlett, who hadn't known him for more than four months, seemed to be a staunch believer in his belief system.Little wonder, she visited the interrogation cell during his temporary detention.“The storm will definitely arise but it won't swallow you up. They're fighting you badly because you're better in every way.”“Brace yourself! You have done a lot for humanity, you have been a good example for the present and younger generations. Your integrity and value system have set a precedent for us to adhere to.”“You're our hero! The multi-talented Herbal Fortress! The business genius! There's nothing they'd pull off that we can't withstand!”Scarlett's words were concise and filled with life.She knew exactly what to say and didn't stutter in the process.Her eyes never left Michael's while spilling those thick, famous words that w

    Two weeks after Marshall’s threatening text message, the looming threat that had been foreseen was finally showcased.It began subtly with whispers in the media about internal conflicts at Kingstown Golden Telecommunications.The bitter truth was Michael hadn't gotten a full grasp of the flow of activities in Kingstown Golden Telecommunications.He was still unlearning and relearning how the company functioned with the aid of his father, Scarlett, but it was a different ball game with Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise because he had always been a fan of great wine.Also while working as the inventory officer at Charleston Park Shopping--- still married to Michelle. He used to request Eric Cottage Wines for sales.It was more like a walk in the park for him. Also, the undercover job he did to expose the bad eggs in the winery company helped him to understand its structure. With the assistance of Stephanie, Sheraton, Oprah Gracy, Sharon, and Cole, the sky was just a starting point.However

    Michelle drew a slow breath, glancing nervously around. “He's planning something big. I overheard him talking to some of his allied, powerful, wealthy figures before he was arrested. He's looking for leverage; a way to bring you down.”Michael’s forehead knitted in thoughts. “Why are you telling me this?”Her voice remained steady “Because I have hurt you enough," she admitted quietly. “I made mistakes, but I don't want to see you destroyed. Despite everything, I… still care in some way.”For a moment, there was silence. Michael studied her emotions, facial expression, demeanor, and attitude— searching for deception, but found none.“Thank you for the warning,” he cautiously replied. “I hope you find the path you’re looking for.”Michelle chimed in a shaky smile and turned heading out until his voice halted her tracks.“Who are these unknown allied figures? I know they have been sponsoring this battle. What do they have to gain? Who are they?”Michael's words oozed with curiosity— in
