Old Mr. Hayes eyes darkened and Carl shut up. “Someone else told me about the confrontation before breakfast. I watched the CCTV footage myself, and I saw everything “Carl swallowed hard, his throat suddenly felt dry and his palm became sweaty.“I saw you take the photo, I saw the flash wake him, I saw you laugh and mock him, talking about making the picture go viral. I saw you refuse to delete it, and is aw him give you more than one chance to stop before he used his fists.”Carl’s face went pale under the bruises. “You… you saw the footage?”“I did.”“But… he still hit me!”“Yes,” Old Mr. Hayes said, “after you mocked him, after you threatened to humiliate him in public, after you refused to remove the photo. He told you to watch your back, you laughed and then you paid the price.”Carl’s voice cracked. “I only took a picture…”“You took a picture and then used it as a weapon,” Old Mr. Hayes cut in. “You stood there and listed every way you would ruin his name. You did it because y

After having breakfast with his grandfather, the plates were cleared by the maids, and Harrison walked down the long hallway toward his grandfather’s study.The door was half open, inside the old man sat in a chair near the window, a cup of tea cooling on the small table beside him, he looked uo when he saw Harrisons tep in.“Come in,” his grandfather said. “Close the door.”Harrison did as he was told and stood near the desk. “I need to talk to you, grandpa.” Harrison told him.“Take a seat.” His grandfather pointed at the chair across his and Harrison sat down. “What is about?”Harrison exhaled softly before speak, he took out the note the stranger had placed in his pocket earlier and showed it to his grandfather.“About this, it was slipped into my pocket three four days ago, and that was the same day, Isabella Williams was abducted from a restaurant we went to eat by the riverside;”His grandfather set his cup down and glanced at read the note. “Go on…”“I couldn’t find the strang

The sky was still dark grey when the first light of morning began to creep over the high walls of the mansion. Only the soft sound of birds starting to wake could be heard in the guard.Carl stepped out of the main entrance dressed in a gym wear about going for a run, he walked across the wide front lawn, but stopped when he caught a glimpse of someone lying down.Carl blinked and moved closer to take a better look only to discover it was Harrison, laying stretched out on the grass, one arm under his head, eyes closed, his clothes were wrinkled and he looked like he had been there for hours.Carl stared at him and a smile pulled at his lips. “Well, well,” he whispered to himself. “Who do we have here?”He quickly pulled out his phone, and opened the camera app, then stepped closer, careful not to make noise. He raised the phone, aimed, and pressed the button.The flash lit up the dark morning like a small explosion of white light. Harrison’s eyes flew open, he sat up fast, blinking ha

“I warned you not to go in that you would regret it, but you refused to listen to me.” Harrison smirked and stepped in front of her.Janet’s shoulder tensed, she raised her head and met his gaze, her eyes red but dry. “Get out of my way, Harrison.”“No,” he said calmly and she raised her brows. “Not yet, you and I still have words to exchange.”She tried to walk around him, he moved with her, blocking the path again, she had insulted him earlier, and now it was his time to rejoice in her humiliation.“You already ruined the night,” she snapped. “Isn’t that enough?”“Enough?” Harrison tilted his head. “You walked in there bragging you were invited, you laughed at me when the bouncers stopped me, you called me a jealous loser, now look at you, sneaking out the side door like a thief.”Janet gritted her teeth. “You set me up! You had your people humiliate me in front of everyone!”“I only kept the promise I made outside those doors.” Harrison answered. “I told you that you would regret g

Janet scoffed when he said she would regret coming here. “That is rich coming from who wasn’t allowed to go in.” Janet crossed her arms and tilted her head. “Stop disgracing yourself and leave, you don’t belong here.”Harrison kept his face calm. “You should leave as well, take my advice.”Janet stepped closer, he head held high. “David invited me. He said this night would change everything, I get to talk directly to the chairman of Diamond global, and David had promised me a position at the company. And here I am, walking straight through those doors strictly on invitation, while you can’t even step inside, stopping at the gate like a delivery boy,”Harrison’s eyebrows lifted. “David told you to come here?” he asked.“Of course,” Janet boasted. “He keeps his word, unlike some people.” Janet’s eyes sparkled with spite. “You’re just angry because the bouncers saw right through you, no invitation and no proper outfit for the occasion, you’re just a nobody.”Harrison’s jaw tightened, but

“Orders don’t care about family tonight,” the second bouncer said, one hand resting near the radio on his belt. “Turn around, please.”For a moment Harrison’s gaze flickered to the gate, he could push past them, he could make a scene loud enough that someone inside would come out, but he didn’t want to draw attention to himself.He nodded and stepped back, then turned toward the long driveway that led to the public road.He had taken only seven steps when he heard a soft click of heels behind him on the stone followed by a familiar mocking voice.“Well, well, well,” Janet’s voice made him halt. “Look what the wind blew in, or should I say what the bouncer threw out?”Harrison let out a sharp sigh and turned. Janet stood under the gate lights in a dress the color of dark wine, her hair pinned up, diamonds at her throat, behind her an assistant hovered with a tablet, but she waved her away with a small flick of her finger, her smile was perfect.“Harrison,” she said, tasting the word. “
