Robert's eyes opened in shock at the salutations of the police chief and his officers, but even more shocking to him was the voice he heard from the phone who said he was on his way. Questions began flooding his mind faster than he could think of them.

Why are they saluting me? What's going on here? Who is coming? He said I was the one, which one? Who am I? 

He asked the police chief just one question out of the innumerable questions flowing through his mind.

“This doesn't look like trouble but am I in trouble?”

“Oh no. No sir.” The police chief answered.

The fact that he addressed Robert as sir all of a sudden, made Robert wonder about the gravity of the situation.

“Why are you addressing me as sir, sir?” He asked the police chief.

“Don't worry, sir. Everything will be explained to you soon but I am not the right person to do that.” The police chief answered him.

Robert stayed there with him, continuing to think about the events all leading up to this present moment, nothing made sense. Or was this one of those billionaire dreams he frequently has? Maybe Sophia or his boss or the officer could wake him up with a slap shortly, so he waited for that slap.

…………………………………..

Just an hour later, a convoy arrived at the police precinct. An officer came to inform the police chief of the convoy that waited outside the station. The police chief led Robert, escorted by ten police officers out of the precinct to meet with the visitors.

On getting outside, Robert's eyes met with the most expensive and luxurious car he had ever seen in real life. It was the same $2 million Rolls-Royce Wraith he saw in his dream, escorting the Rolls-Royce were four Mercedes Benz G-Wagons, all black. The luxurious convoy set before him made him wonder what else could amaze him.

The police chief and his officers all saluted the convoy, the doors of the luxury escort vehicles opened and a plethora of bodyguards and armed men came down. Twelve men in total, half were dressed up as elite security details and the other half were dressed in military gear with automatic weapons.

Robert fell to the ground in fear, he had never seen such a show of force in his life. The police chief tried to raise him up but one of the security details with the convoy signaled him to not. The front door of the Rolls-Royce opened and a man, the head of the security forces, came out and went straight to open the owner's door for his boss to come out.

As the door opened, a huge man exuding power and money, looking 40s, came out all dressed in expensive wears from his suit to his shoes to his accessories. Accessories of gold all over him. Robert raised his head to look at this man whom everyone saluted as he came out of the car, he wondered who the man was. Maybe that's the Mr. Jude William the police chief mentioned, but why is he here? Robert wondered.

Immediately the man saw Robert lying on the floor, he ran to him and he helped him up. 

“Young Master, I'm sorry for this. Please get up.”

'What? Me? Young master? I am young but I am no master. Why is this man holding me and acting this weird with me?’ Robert kept asking himself as the rich man helped him get up.

“Please, sir. I am not who you think, you must be mistaken.” Robert said to him.

The man smiled and answered him,

“There is no mistake here, young master. We came for you and it is time to take you home.”

Robert laughed, for a moment he thought of Sophia and Michael putting all of this up as an evil prank, but then he realized that although Michael was a billionaire, he didn't have such levels of power and influence as this man was giving.

“Sir, my home is at the Richards but now that I am divorced, I don’t have a home.” Robert made it clear to the man, trying his best to make him see that he had the wrong person.

“Don't worry, young master. You will understand everything soon. Just come with us.” The man insisted.

Robert gave in to his offer, after all his life was already finished only the breath in his nostrils remained. What could this wealthy nice man do to him that would be worse than he had experienced the past days? If he has to die, at least let him enter one of these expensive cars for once, that way something in his dreams came to reality.

The man held him up to face the escorts and they all saluted him,

“ALL HAIL THE YOUNG MASTER!!!” Their uniformed voice created a thunderous echo across the environment.

Everything seemed like a joke to Robert because never had he seen nor witnessed anything of such before, not even in fairy tales. He just flowed with it to see how it ends.

The man led him to the Rolls-Royce and opened the door for him to enter, Robert's thought was that he would be led to one of the escort vehicles, but now he was led to the main vehicle. He smiled, finally his dream of driving in this same car had just come to pass but Sophia was not in it.

The man called the police chief, collected the ring from him, and also instructed him to make sure no one heard of the event. He entered from the opposite door of the Rolls-Royce and they drove off.

Robert, lost himself in the imagination of everything that was before him, two nights ago, he was driven in a police vehicle to the police station like a criminal, cuffed and restrained. And now, he is driven out of the police station in a $2 million Rolls-Royce Wraith escorted by four G-Wagons like a king. The transition was beyond his comprehension, where was this nice man who called him “Young Master” when Sophia almost killed him? Where was he all his life when he struggled from one menial job to another? Where was he when everyone humiliated and embarrassed him nonstop? He continued to ask in his mind as they drove through the city.

“Where are we going?” Robert asked curiously.

“We are taking you home, young master. Your grandfather awaits your return.” The man said to him.

    "Now listen to me, you creep. You are just bluffing and..." The call ended before he could say anything else. He grunted in anger and walked back to where he was before. Raymond had alerted the police officers inside, and a chase had began to get Olivia. Robert walked back to them, breathing heavily."The police are after her." He tried to catch his breath."I know, sir. Let's meet with the detectives at once. I got everything she said on tape.""Yes!" Roberts eyes lit up. "Let's go, then." The two men rushed in back in to the building. Fransisco followed slowly behind them, but when he saw that they were really ahead of him, and wouldn't notice if he wasn't with them, he moved back. He looked from side to side as he rushed out of the premises. Meanwhile, many policemen ran out of the building like a colony of ants, each person dispersing themselves into different cars. Soon, the cars were out of sight. Robert walked out of the building with Raymond beside him. "It's a good thing you

    The detective squinted as he looked at his colleague. He turned back to Robert with a stern face before speaking."That is a serious accusation, sir. Are you sure about what you are saying?""Sure? Not exactly. But I really suspect that they might have had something to do with this. About Michael, I do not know how involved he might be. But Sophia? She even went to Juliet's house once to talk bad about me.""And how do you know that?""I saw her leave the house. I tried to ask her why she had come but she ignored me, and left hurriedly. Also, Juliet told me about it when I went in.""Hmm..." He sighed softly as he wrote something in his notebook. "And why would this Sophia want to talk bad about you to your girlfriend?""Sophia and I used to be married. But we got a divorce right before I met my grandfather. After that, she tried had to get back in to my life, but I refused. I think that made her very angry because she said questionable things after, things I didn't take serious.""Sh

    "He will be down here in a bit. We should wait in the car, so we can leave immediately he gets here." Raymond announced as he walked down the stairs. Robert immediately opened the door and walked out on hearing that. "Umm... Ryan." He called as he walked towards the car. "Some people will be here later today to do some fixing in here, let them in. They will show you their ID cards first.""Yes, sir." Ryan nodded. He left as soon as Robert waved him off."Sir..." Raymond called hesitantly. "Please, I need to speak with you.""What is this about, Raymond? You know this isn't the time for conversations that are not...""It is very important, sir.""Alright." He sighed and got in to the car. Raymond walked to the other side and got in as well. "What is it?""It's about Fransisco." He paused and swallowed hard. "I... I heard him in his room." Robert squinted with concentration. He didn't trust Fransisco one bit and with the way Raymond was speaking, he was ready to hear the worst."What

    Robert didn't sleep the whole night. His eyes were open, fixed to the ceiling and filled with tears in his grandfather's room. It felt like the night would never end, like the torture and pain he was feeling would never end as well. Raymond knocked on the door several times to find out if he was alright, but he asked him to leave every single time. Just as his eyes were beginning to flutter with drowsiness, a bright light pierced through the window. He got off the couch immediately and headed to his room. There, he had a quick change of clothes before heading down to meet Raymond, and of course, Fransisco."Good morning, sir." Raymond said as soon as he saw him walking down the stairs. There was a smile on his face. One that Robert could not fathom at first. "Are you okay?""I'm fine." He said sharply with very steady eyes. He didn't seem like someone who had sobbed all night, maybe because he was very good at hiding his feelings. "We need to go to the station now.""But you've not h

    "Gone? Gone?" She asked, totally calm. She was dazed for a moment. She stood still with tears running down her cheeks. "What is gone? What does that even mean?" She managed to murmer."I don't even know what happened. I met the policemen on my way to the house, and I saw her. I saw her right there being placed on the stretcher. And she wasn't moving."She shot an angry eye at him as he tried to explain what he had seen. He stopped immediately and looked down. It was clear that all he was saying didn't matter to her at this point. She didn't want to hear anything."What did you do to my sister, Robert? What did you do to her?" She yelled."No, no. What are saying? I do not know what exactly happened to her. But I will make sure they pay dearly for it.""You, liar. What did she ever do to you? She didn't deserve this. She didn't!" Mary yelled, crying bitterly. She didn't mind the staring eyes that looked in her direction. She just wanted to know why this had to happen to her sister. "

    "Police station? What for?" She asked with wide eyes. He couldn't see her but he could already tell the expression on her face. And that was because she sounded just as confused as she looked. "What does that have to do with my sister, Robert? Where is my sister?""I'm really sorry, Mary." He said with a shaky voice. He could no longer contain the hurt he felt. "They don't really know what happened to her, but....""But what?" She interrupted sharply with tears dancing freely in her eyes, waiting gor the perfect opportunity to pour out. She heard what he was saying, but she did not understand. She did not want to understand if it was really what she was thinking. "What are you talking about, Robert? Where the hell is my sister?""Just meet me at the station now." He ended the call immediately. He couldn't mutter the courage to tell her that Juliet was found dead just minutes ago. He took a deep, shaky breath and nodded at the police officer. "I'll be at the station."Immediately after
