Diego turned to his right, watching as Brian’s hand patted him with a gentle touch.He took a deep breath, then he cleared his throat.“I am going to miss him, Master Brian…”“I know…” Brian nodded, forcing a smile. “Me too…” His voice was barely above a whisper this time, his eyes flickering to suppress his tears.“You said you were looking for me, Master Brian…”“Oh, yes…” Brian broke his silence as well, pulling away from the Concierge.“It’s about the guests, Diego…”“Okay? I am listening…” Diego leaned forward, paying keen attention.“I want you to instruct the guards to keep an eye on them, Diego…” Brian stated, holding onto the visible sign that he still had more to say.“I don’t trust the people in there…” He pointed, but the Concierge knew too well that he wasn’t meant to look.“I have already seen enough to get me worried, and we both know that not everyone in there just came to console us.”“I understand, Master Brian.” Diego nodded, curving the corners of his lips.Brian w
Three Gentlemen
“Of course.” Lucius nodded, taking a step forward.“Your father, Tiago, was one of us, Brian. Quite unfortunate that his promising life had to be cut short.”Brian remained silent, taking his time to process the sudden information.“You said that like my father was in some sort of secret cult.”Lucius chuckled softly, but his reaction was different from the others who groaned.“Not necessarily, Brian.” He returned his gaze to Brian at once, giving in to the urge to correct whataver impression was growing inside him.“You may be right if you say that no one knew about us, Brian. But I can assure you, we are not evil.”“I see…” Brian didn’t hide his dubiousness, turning to face the others one after the other.His gaze ended on Dylan, their gaze slightly intense.“So, what do you want?” He stared at Dylan a bit longer before he turned to Manfred, who seemed like he was already expecting that question and had prepared answers for it.“We want you to fulfill your destiny, Brian. We want yo
Laid to Rest
Standing before the glittery casket, Brian took a deep breath, but it felt so heavy that he had to let it out almost at the same time.His head felt crowded, not only by the thoughts that filled it.Then again, he saw more faces the moment he looked up, faces that caused him to stare longer than he thought he would.The whispers didn’t stop; neither did the hand gestures and the eye movements.“Can we start now?” The Minister asked in a low tone, leaning closer to Brian while he waited for his response.“Yeah…” Brian returned his gaze to him, nodding slowly.“Go ahead.” He gave a slight wave of his hand, causing the Minister to nod.The middle-aged man cleared his throat, then he looked up at some of the faces before he began.“Dearest brethren…” He paused for two seconds, silently beckoning for silence from those who were still murmuring at the back.“We are gathered here this day, to pray for the happy repose of…”Brian closed his ears to the mention of his grandfather’s name, but t
All Began
There was no response, and it didn’t look like Rebecca was going to get any.Brian’s eyes were still focused on the people in front of him, looking past the glares from his cousins.“I take it that she isn’t here,” Rebecca concluded, curling her lips.“That wife of yours has no respect for this family, Brian. Not even for the dead. She should have been here to honor my father, your grandfather.”Brian ignored the finger pointed at him, looking up at Rebecca’s visage.The anger didn’t move him, his expression plain and unreadable.“Arya is pregnant, Aunty Becca…”Rebecca tutted, rolling her eyes at the unsatisfactory explanation from her nephew.“She is not the first pregnant lady in this world, Brian. I was pregnant with Carl when your father died. I attended his burial with a big stomach.”Vicky nodded, as though she could still recall the incident.Brian took a deep breath, his expression still deadpan.“I asked her not to come, Aunt Becca. Arya wanted to be here, but I said no.”“O
The Funeral
“I am very sorry for your loss, Mr. Regal.”“Please accept our sincere condolences.”The couple stood before Brian with smiles on their faces.“Thank you so much. That’s so kind of you.” Brian accepted the flowers they handed over to him.Just like some of the numerous people at the funeral, Brian didn’t know them, but he could tell they were not from around there.“My name is Puyol Garfield, and this is my wife Janet…”“Hello, Mrs. Garfield.” Brian turned to the middle-aged lady, maintaining his smile.“It’s so good to finally meet you, Mr. Regal. I just hoped that it could have been under better circumstances.” The lady remarked, extending the smile spread across her lips.“Mm...” Brian nodded, taking a deep breath.He had already sensed that the couple were only standing before him because they wanted to sympathize with him.Sensing their ulterior motive, he cleared his throat, his smile slowly doused.“I have to go now, Mr. and Mrs. Garfield. The funeral is about to begin, and my
Lesson Learned
“What the hell is going on here?” Rebecca appeared, staggering forward with both hands holding onto her silk robe.At first, she didn’t recognize the man on the floor until she lumbered forward with wide eyes, shifting her gaze to the jalopy car by the left corner.“Jimmy?!” She gasped, increasing her pace.“Oh, my God!” She rushed to the young man on the ground, grabbing him with both hands.“Are you hurt?!” She pulled him up, grunting at his weight.The fellow who was still recovering had to shake his head to ease the spinning, his right hand still on his belly.“What happened? Why were you on the floor?” Rebecca asked, turning to the spot as though the answers were there.Jimmy had his eyes on Brian, staring warily.Rebecca didn’t need him to speak; she turned to Brian with eyes sparking in contempt.“Did you do this?!” She fumed, chest puffing.Brian nodded at once. He had no intention of appeasing the lady.“I needed to teach your boyfriend a lesson. He was running his mouth.” He
