"Sir, that's..."

"Shhh," Mr. Henshaw said, trying to make Gallardo not mention the word as they were not the only ones in the car. Chris was there with them too, with the driver, and Chris was a loyal servant to his son. He would never go against his son's wish to follow his.

That day, the old man watched as the shop owner molested and talked to Nicklaus anyhow. All this while, Chris never knew, and the old man didn't want Chris to know as it was all for Nicklaus's safety. Mr. Henshaw was the one that influenced his son's thinking, making sure that Nicklaus was kept hidden as he wasn't ready to lose both his grandchildren and his son.

His son was just like Nicklaus, very stubborn, always wanting to know things, not caring if the things that they so deeply wanted to know would lead to their death.

The more Mr. Henshaw's son dug deeper into their family's history, the more complicated things were, and soon was his end. Up until today, the old man still didn't know what had been wrong. T

    "Nicklaus! Nicklaus!" The name still kept ringing in his ear. Apparently, it wasn't even from the room, but it was all in his head."What the hell is going on?" Nicklaus said. He was beginning to draw attention from people.He couldn't control himself, so he got to his feet and decided to go to the restroom, but he was feeling dizzy."Get out of the way! That's my brother," Rita said.The small crowd of people that had gathered around him began to diagnose different unrelated things."I'm sure this is one of the signs of epilepsy. My cousin acts like this sometimes. We should call an ambulance.""Did he come with any of his relatives? We better call one of them than call an ambulance, and better don't touch him.""Why? Can't you see that he needs someone's help?""If anything goes wrong with him, you'll be to blame. Better let one of the staff here attend to him and call an ambulance."The crowd couldn't stop murmuring, and unfortunately, Nicklaus couldn't even hear them. The only thi

    Rita was immediately frightened. She moved towards the back of Nicklaus just to hide her face."Relax, Vee. You shouldn't be bothered," Nicklaus said with much confidence.One of the men walked towards Nicklaus. He had a mask on."Yo. We meet again. Did you really think that it was over?" the man said.The voice didn't sound so familiar, and worst was that he couldn't see his face."Take off your mask so that I can see the bold man that is speaking," Nicklaus said."Oh, my mask? Hell no. Don't you know that there are cameras all around me? I'm surprised that you haven't picked up my voice yet..." On that very last line, Nicklaus felt something familiar with the voice but still couldn't put a face or name to it."Even before you climbed into power, I've always hated you because you were so poor, leeching off your ex-wife. You're so pathetic, and you irritate me," the man said, causing Nicklaus to take a few steps closer to him before saying,"No, you're actually the irritating one here

    "Calm down," Mr. Henshaw said before asking,"What exactly is the problem?""Where are you right now? It's not a matter that needs to be talked about over the phone," Nathan said."I'm in Singapore, but I'm about to get on a plane coming back to LA," Mr. Henshaw informed."Okay, give me a call when you're back, and I'll schedule a place for us to see," Nathan said, but Mr. Henshaw was already curious to know what it was about, so he decided to ask,"What is it about, Nathan?""You!" Nathan said sternly before ending the call.Mr. Henshaw couldn't stop thinking about what Nathan had said. How could the problem be him?After eating in the restaurant, they immediately went to catch their flight.It took a few long hours to get to LA.Nicklaus smiled as he stepped down from the flight. He gritted his teeth and said,"Finally, home."They immediately made their way to the front of the airport. A car was waiting for them outside.Nicklaus got into the car and waited for every other person t

    Nicklaus was tired of going through the same second all the time. This time, he wanted an answer."Young man! You know what to do!" On saying that, the phone call ended.His words made Nicklaus scoff. He immediately dialed Chris's number on his phone and said,"Hello? I want you to send some security to Rita back home. I need her to be safe!""Okay, sir. There are already securities with her, and be rest assured that they're very skilled," Chris said, and that was what Nicklaus wanted."Okay," Nicklaus said and ended the call.He looked around him for no reason before checking the time on his phone.All of a sudden, he sat on his bed. Thousands of thoughts were going through his mind."Maybe they were right!" Nicklaus said before getting to his feet. Sitting on the bed made him restless really quick."They were trying to protect me, and probably I should have stayed hidden and not in public," Nicklaus added, but where exactly did he plan on staying hidden?It suddenly occurred to him

    The anger was written all over Nicklaus's face. He had been calm from the onset, and now he was tired. There was no more humiliation in his life, and his sister got what she wanted, but the wealth came with a cross to carry, and it was beginning to make a little sense to Nicklaus."When your father came to me, what he asked for is totally different from what you seek! The enemy started from within," Messiah said, causing Nicklaus to furrow his brows questioningly."What do you mean? You know about it, so don't you want to tell me?""It is not my place," he said nonchalantly."I thought you don't follow rules. I thought you do as you please? Why not tell me what I need to know?" Nicklaus said."What you need to know is what I have told you. The moment you discover the whole history, the bigger your problem. With each truth that you have learned comes a problem." He paused and took a step closer to Nicklaus before adding, "That is what your father wasn't warned about."Messiah gazed at

    Nicklaus climbed down to the sitting room before they all left to where the car was parked outside.As soon as they got into the car, Chris tried to talk about the first crown to Nicklaus so that he could prep him a little on how the man is."You don't have to say anything to me! With all you've said before, I believe that I know the kind of man that he is," Nicklaus said sternly."Okay, sir," Chris said.They arrived at a skyscraper. Nicklaus got down from the car and tried looking up to where the building reached, but his eyes couldn't reach.Nicklaus, Chris, and Mr. Henshaw walked into the building. Chris walked ahead while Nicklaus and the old man just followed him from behind.They got to a private room, and without even knocking, the door opened. Nicklaus was stunned but later concluded that the person in control of the opening and closing of the door was aware of their presence, unknowing to Nicklaus that the door was an automatic door with an in-built bot that opens whenever i
