Chapter 126 ~ Birth of a Rival
Meanwhile, at the Castillo Group, Julio Castillo stood rigidly before the large, floor-to-ceiling window in his office, his gaze fixed on the view outside. He held a thick cigarette in one hand, the other resting behind his back as thin trails of smoke curled into the air. Thoughts of the Graham family flooded his mind. He remembered how Thomas had betrayed him, stealing the woman he loved and, to make matters worse, building a family and an empire with her. **** Many years ago, Thomas Graham and Julio Castillo had been incredibly close. In fact, they were practically brothers. They ate together, drank together, and did almost everything together. Whenever Julio had girl problems, he would always turn to Thomas for advice. They were so close that anyone would have thought they were related by blood. One night, Julio got into an argument with his then girlfriend, Margaret. They had disagreed over some of his life choices and the way Margaret's parents viewed him. Margare
Chapter 125 ~ His Influence
"Be careful with those! If you break them you're goin' to pay with your life!" Gwen Henshaw shouted, scolding someone—a young man who was offloading a new set of plates she had ordered from London, which she intended to use for her elite customers at the restaurant. "I'm sorry ma'am." the young man apologized, struggling to carry the heavy set of boxes that was at least two times his weight. It was almost evening, Gwen and friends fast food restaurant was buzzing with customers. Meanwhile Gwen was outside, making business moves when suddenly, a car pulled up and packed right outside the restaurant, not far from the warehouse were she stood. "Who the fuck is that?" Gwen asked herself, squinting her eyes just slightly to make sight of the approaching man. The man approaching her was accompanied by two other other people. They were bodyguards. "Good day ma'am." the young man, dressed ordinaryly said respectfully. However, Gwen didn't respond. In fact the look on her face sugge
Chapter 124 ~ A Desperate Deal
The next day, Peter was already dressed for class. With only a few weeks remaining before the semester examinations and the end of the academic year, he needed to remain consistent with his studies to ensure he passed all his courses successfully. He walked into the classroom and slowly made his way to his seat. The room was noisy, with students gossiping, chatting, and laughing at the top of their voices as they waited for the teacher to arrive. Peter settled into his seat and dropped his bag onto the empty chair beside him. When he glanced to his side, he found Tom glaring at him. Tom was staring daggers at him, and the intensity of his gaze unsettled Peter slightly. If looks could kill, Tom's eyes would have buried a blade straight into Peter's skull. Peter merely threw him a brief glance before looking away. Memories of the previous day's confrontation at the hospital came rushing back as he recalled the heated argument between himself and his friend, Tom. Soon after
Chapter 123 ~ A Fight Between Two Best Friends.
“You son of a bitch!” Tom cursed, his hands tightening into rock-hard fists. He lunged at Peter, ready to land a punch. After all the rage-baiting Peter had been doing, he had finally had enough. Tom felt betrayed because the girl he had a crush on was apparently close to Peter. Peter, on the other hand, was pissed because Tom kept spewing bullshit that wasn't true and wouldn't even give him a chance to defend himself. So, in his anger, he decided to provoke him even further. “Tom, please, stop!” Owen shouted from his bed, attempting to climb down and separate the boys, but the pain in his stomach wouldn't let him. “I'm gonna blow your brains out, you sick bitch!” Tom spat, his voice menacing as he swung his fist toward Peter's head. Peter saw the punch coming and immediately dodged it. He could have thrown a punch of his own. He knew he could easily defeat Tom in a one-on-one fight, but he wouldn't. Even if he wanted to, he just couldn't bring himself to hurt him. Tom k
Chapter 122 ~ Brothers
Tom had heard about what happened to Owen. Worried about his friend, he rushed to the hospital where Owen had been admitted to check on him. When Tom entered the room, the first person his eyes landed on was Mia. Her purple-black hair was the first thing that caught his attention. He was shocked to see her in the same room with his friends. “Hi,” Tom said nervously, waving his hand like a four-year-old who was completely starstruck. Mia simply raised an eyebrow. She found him creepy and unattractive. However, not wanting to be rude, she gave him a weak wave in return. “Hi?.” Tom swallowed hard. That wasn't the reaction he had expected. He forced a fake smile and attempted to walk closer to Owen's bed when Peter's annoyed voice stopped him. “What the hell are you doing here?” Peter asked, his tone rigid, matching the irritated look on his face. Owen shifted immediately, sensing a heated argument coming. “Peter, you don't have to do this…” he said, trying to calm the situation,
Chapter 121 ~ An Unknown Enemy
Peter and Mia were sitting on the built-in bench just outside, in the corridor of the room where Owen was being attended to.They both held their hands tightly against their legs, fidgeting. Well, not both of them. Mostly Peter.He didn't know what to think. Owen had been through a lot lately, and now that he was finally starting to open up, this happened?Mia threw him a glance. She was worried too, not about Owen, but about Peter. The way he kept shaking his legs was making her somewhat uneasy.She reached over and placed her hand on his trembling knee to calm them down.“It’s going to be okay,” she said, her eyes locking with his.The moment her hand touched Peter’s leg, they stopped shaking. He froze, then slowly lifted his chin and looked to his right, where she was sitting beside him.“I don’t know what’s wrong with him,” Peter said, his gaze dropping back to the floor. “I don’t even know how we got here. Ever since he…” He stopped, catching himself before the words could slip o
