"R-really? I don't know." Maria's tears fell; this was not what she wanted. Why is her relationship with Jonathan getting complicated? In the past, the girl thought Jonathan would be hers after she saved his life. However, now it was the opposite of her expectations.***Ten years ago.Since the shooting incident in the park ended, Jonathan and Maria had to undergo surgery due to gunshot wounds they both suffered. Their relationship is getting closer. Although initially, it was Jonathan who was instrumental in saving Maria's life. However, in the end, Maria also saves him by promptly taking him to the hospital so that Jonathan's life is not lost due to blood loss.Jonathan let Maria by his side even though he never reciprocated his love for her."Jonathan, come over to my house tonight. My dad is throwing a big party to celebrate the success of his new business." Maria asked."Hmm… party?" Jonathan answered in his usual cold tone."Yeah, party. Come on; I don't have any friends.""But
Anna screamed after seeing her husband being kicked, and now his body fell to the ground. He groaned in pain in his stomach."Don't hurt my husband!" Anna braced, blocking the man about to throw his feet back into Jonas's stomach."Mom, Dad!" Jonathan cried in fear seeing the condition of his parents."Now, get out of this house. According to the agreement you signed, if it is due for two consecutive months. Then the house and your company that have become collateral be our property.""If you try to report or do anything that harms us. We will not hesitate to kill your son in front of you. Remember that!" The chubby man spat at Jonas before leaving and taking the bulldozer from Jonathan's yard."Mom, Dad!" Jonathan approached his parents."Jonas, Jonas, how are you?" asked Anna tearfully."Anna, I'm sorry. I'm useless.""No, it's not your fault. Your business partners are to blame. They're very bad at lying to you and stealing our money.""We'd better get out of here. I don't want to
Eight years ago, when Jonathan came home from school. He intends to help his mother work. Anna works as a cleaning service in a government agency. She oversees sweeping and collecting garbage in city parks and roadsides. Jonathan replaces his mother to sweep the dry passage of the river in the summer. Jonathan's activities stopped when Jonathan found an adult's body sleeping on the bank of the river, and his whole body was covered in blood. When Jonathan wanted to leave the place. The sleeping figure opened his eyes. "H-help…." Jonathan stopped in his tracks. He turned and looked at the face covered in blood. There was a pity to see the man; he remembered his father, who was beaten by the accomplices of loan sharks and caused internal injuries that ended in death. However, reflects his mother's message forbidding him to deal with anything that reeks of violence and blood. Jonathan moved backward, wanting to escape humanity to help him. But after seeing a group of people in black co
"Why are you bothering me?" asked Jonathan, holding the pain in his knee."Because you're a bum, it's an eyesore. This school is expensive. How come a bum like you go to our school?""Get your hands off!" Jonathan brushed off the hand of one of his friends, who was known to be the meanest in the class. He is one of the children of the school administrator where he studied. All this time, Jonathan had avoided it to dodge a fight. Their arbitrary nature and often bullying of his friends make Jonathan sick. However, considering his mother's message and their economic situation, Jonathan restrains his ego to not fight with Mario, the bully."Why?" Mario grabbed Jonathan by the collar. "You want to fight, huh?" sneered Mario.Jonathan clenched his fists; he felt like hitting Mario's annoying face."I said, get your hands off!" Jonathan growled."If not?" Mario sneered."Feel this!" Jonathan banged his head against Mario's. He'd had enough of holding back; the more he avoided it, the more t
"Sir, I didn't. Mario was the one who bothered me and hurt me." Jonathan protested, who did not accept. He was slandered by them."Jonathan Smith, Mario was injured, and many witnesses said. You were the abuser. While you are in a good state."Jonathan was silent; he lost badly. It was futile to explain the truth to them. If they had believed Mario's statement was true."Quickly pack up your things and get out of this school immediately. Sorry, we can't recommend a new school for you. Because your case is bullying of another student." said the headmaster coldly.Jonathan had no choice but to comply with the principal's request."Wait, you have to apologize to Mario too. You can't just walk away. You've hurt him.""Apologize?" Jonathan's face darkened. This is out of bounds. He had accepted if he was expelled. But if he had to apologize, he really didn't want to. Had to bow his head for something he didn't do? It's ridiculous."What are you waiting for? Just one apology, and it's all o
"Are you finished?" Asked the police officer.Jonathan nodded, "Thank you, sir.""Go back to the cell until your lawyer frees you.""Okay, sir." Jonathan returned past Mario, who was staring at him intently.Not long after, Dante arrived at the police station with one of his bodyguards and a lawyer. He immediately spoke to the police."Mario, let's go home. Our business was done here," said Vernando, who just came from the next room."Okay, Dad."After both father and Son stepped foot out of the police station. A police officer called their names."Wait a minute, Mr. Garcia."Vernando and Mario turned their heads.Your Son, Mario. Must undergo a post-mortem test with the accused, Jonathan Smith." Vernando's body tensed, hearing the word post-mortem. If this is done, then his career?"Mr. Garcia, please bring your Son inside." The police orders."Come on," Vernando dragged Mario inside firmly."Oops, Dad. Slow down," protested Mario, who had not realized he was in the wrong position.
Jonathan paused, then he turned his head, a smile rising on his lips. "Why not? Being Uncle Dante's adopted son, I suppose, wouldn't be so bad." "Hahaha... smart boy. How about I take you home now." "Okay, Uncle. But as usual, I'll get off at the crossroad." "Up to you, son." *** The next day. The court case begins. Jonathan, assisted by Dante, had no difficulty suing Mario and his friends. With evidence, witnesses, and footage from CCTV, Jonathan quickly proves that Mario is the perpetrator of the bullying. And as for Vernando's fate, the headmaster dishonorably dismissed him. The principal also restored Jonathan's status as a student at the school. While Mario's friends were expelled from school. For being involved in a bullying case. Jonathan's mother did not know about this incident, and he did not tell her about it either. Afraid that his mother forbade and worried about him. Let everything be its own secret. Because Jonathan has chosen the path of his life he will take.
Jonathan gasped at the sight in front of him. Looks at Dante trying to get out of the car with bleeding wounds all over his body. One of his men also got out of the car while the others were lifeless. Several cars in front of them stopped immediately. A group of people, getting out of the car with guns, walked towards Dante. Swiftly, Rocky approached Dante after launching attacks on people who would harm Dante.A scuffle ensued, and some of the group fell on the road after being shot, likewise, with some of Rocky's comrades. The man ordered Jonathan to stay under cover because he was still small and inexperienced on the battlefield. Rocky tries to save Dante but ends in vain due to the enemy's overwhelming numbers. Rocky is overwhelmed, and now his gun has run out of bullets.Sweat dripping down Rocky's body, he must accept his fate. Risking his life for Dante, the head of the gang organization hosting his life. He still remembers being stranded on the streets; only Dante would take h
