Chapter Fifty-Eight: How Did You Survive?POLICE Detective John Wyatt is the head detective from ten years ago. From ten years, Paxton remembered him as a fifty-year-old strong competitive detective. And now that he was sixty years old and was about to retire next year, it seemed like he doesn’t give a shit with whatever Paxton wanted to do.“It has been ten years, you’re giving me a headache,” John cleared his throat as he looked through the files. “And it’s a closed case. The Cartier’s Mansion has no arsonist, it is due to an air conditioner that exploded, it fired the whole Mansion.”“If it is just an air conditioner that explodes, then why does the mansion smells gas?”“How do you know?” John stopped looking through the files and turned his head to Paxton. He was standing beside John while his hands were behind his back. His intention here is not just to ask John to re-investigate the case but also to threaten him. Paxton knows that the head of the Police Detective knew it better
Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Man Behind.AFTER sipping on the cup of coffee, Jeff propped the cup on the table and looked up at Paxton. After six months, he thought that Paxton has already died from the suffocation and no one could save him from hiding. “Darius Lavigne saved me,” he replied.Paxton’s eyes narrowed upon hearing his answer. He didn’t expect that. “How come?”“He said that he could use me in the future. But the problem is, Leviathan Marshall doesn’t like the idea of using me. So they plan on killing me again. I fled right after I realized they are after me.”“I can help you to go to another country that you like so you could hide there in the meantime. But you have to tell me everything that you’ve discovered about Darius and Leviathan. The reason why they attempted to kill us,” he said.“Yes, I will tell you everything just like what we’ve talked about, My Lord.” Jeff quickly took out the file from his attached case and put it on the table. He also took out his pen and use
Chapter Sixty: Old Friends.“PAXTON already knows that you have something to do with what happened to his family’s mansion ten years ago, Levi. He heard me talking to you.”Lorelei came to visit Levi in his office. It has been two days since her argument with Paxton and he hasn’t come home to their Villa since the night of their argument. She tried to contact him but Paxton blocked his number. At the Golden Realty building, she can’t visit him. His secretary said that he’s busy and he doesn’t want anyone to interrupt his work. She’s worried about him. That’s why she needs to do something to help him. To help her husband who still can’t move on from the past. She thinks that Paxton couldn’t move forward in his life for as long as he’s carrying the burden in his heart.“He really knows, Lorelei,” Levi chuckled. “You are the one who’s clueless.”Her mouth parted after hearing that from Leviathan. She stepped back and looked at him while she’s shaking her head.“W-what are you talking abo
Chapter Sixty-One: I Suspect The Most.IT HAS been an hour since they searched around the room of his deceased father but they still haven’t seen even a single photo of his father with his friends. Paxton was worried that they can’t see anything that will lead them to his father’s Boss. After an hour of trying, they decided to rest and eat the food that Lola prepared for them.It is a club sandwich and orange juice. While they were busy eating the sandwich, a knock on the door interrupted them. Paxton quickly announced to open the door and Lola entered the room.“What kind of photo are you looking for, young master?” Lola asked.They both stopped chewing their food as soon as they saw what Lola was holding. She was holding photo albums! Quickly, Paxton took in all the sandwiches inside of his mouth and walked towards Lola. “Careful, young master. You should chew your food first!”But he didn’t listen. He continued and took the photo albums from Lola to see what was inside. He sat dow
Chapter Sixty-Two: Oppose.PAXTON decided to go home that night to see Lorelei. Although he was really exhausted, he’s ready to talk to Lorelei, and listen to her rants. But then, his expectations didn't happen when he finally opened the door to their room. She’s now sleeping soundly. After sighing, he took off his coat together with his shoes and socks before he continued to their bed. As soon as he lay down beside Lorelei, he looked at her and stared at her for a while.He loves Lorelei, he couldn't deny it anymore. But the fact that she might get involved in all of these and she might get hurt, that's what he was afraid of. Paxton knew that he was wrong for getting mad at Lorelei when in fact he was also hiding something from her but then, he couldn't help but feel mad.Paxton snapped when Lorelei opened her eyes and looked at him intently. They stared at each other for a while before Lorelei started to talk.“Did you already forget that you’re mad at me?” she asked.“You visited
Chapter Sixty-Three: Not Competitive.FOR a moment, Sylvester was stunned at his question. It seemed like he was finding the right answer to the question that he simply asked. It wasn’t like his godfather, he was quick-minded and always answers questions without hesitation, but now, he wondered…“I was just worried about you. You survived the death, you should live the life that was given to you and not live just for revenge. Your wife was worried about you. Instead of getting revenge, why not build a family with Lorelei and start to renew life, leaving everything in the past? Paxton, you didn’t know what will happen to you in the near future, you even got comatose for six months.”Pressing his lips, he understands what he was pointing out. While looking through Sylvester’s eyes, he can see that he was just worried, like a father figure. But then, Paxton doesn’t know why he couldn’t feel it. It seems like everything that Sylvester was saying was just an act, it was so cold…“I can do
Chapter Sixty-Four: Something Odd.WILLIAM couldn’t move for a while after receiving such a hurtful word from his Uncle. It was his first time hearing him tell him something like that and it hurts. His Uncle always told him how good he was for obeying any of his suggestions and advice, so he wasn’t used to hearing this kind of word.“I apologize, Uncle… I thought—”“Nah, don’t bother to create an explanation because I know how incompetent you are. Anyway, suggest releasing the commercial once the stocks became lower…”William knew that his Uncle has been pulling tricks on the company whenever they are releasing commercials, new products, or new offers to the market, but now he was surprised by what he said.“What do you mean, Uncle?”“The stock market will be down tomorrow, but don’t worry. We just have to pull some strings and it will be back to normal.”“Uncle, don’t you think it’s too risky? You are not the chairman now, it’s Paxton…”“William, Paxton is the current chairman but th
Chapter Sixty-Five: Greedy. A BLACK formal expensive business suit dressed Paxton in this kind of occasion. Today, he was getting ready for the meeting despite the fact that he has no backup plan. Because of what happened yesterday, he was occupied. He couldn’t come up with an idea on what to do. Even what Sylvester will do today, he couldn’t figure it out. “You seemed occupied,” Lorelei said. He turned his head to his wife and saw her wearing a pink formal attire that she usually wear. “Nothing, I was just thinking about the meeting later,” he replied. “Your business suit… you’re always wearing it. Should we buy new suits and clothes this Sunday?” A smile curved Lorelei’s lips as she started to tie his neck tie. “Sure, that’s a great idea. I haven’t been in a date with you so I hope it would be a date.” Paxton smiled back and lowered his head to plant a soft kiss on her lips. “Alright, that will be a date.” Lorelei looked forward to that date because they weren’t able to date
