The Attorney pushed his way forward, his balance almost crumbling.

He turned back as many times as he could, staring at the guards who posed a heavy threat even though they stood still and weren’t even looking at him.

But facing Brian didn’t even help ease the tension simmering inside him.

It was increased, his heart beating heavily.

“I was only doing my job, Sir.” He repeated his favorite line, his voice still cracked.

Brian huffed, then he took a deep breath.

“You manage all their

“Hey! Watch where you are going!” The lady held onto her phone, and before she could turn to look at Brian, he was already far gone.Brian swore that he was going to continue chasing after the culprit even if she ran to the end of the earth.Nothing was going to stop him, not even the sound of the scooter zooming from the alley nearby.“Watch where you are going?!” The rider almost slammed into him, barely missing him by an inch.Brian didn’t look back, panting as he crossed the streets, the tall buildings waving past him.The lady kept looking back, and each time she did, Brian was close enough.Her eyes widened, the fright glittering in them.Her pursuer was angry and relentless, and she knew that she was out of strength.Yet there was the vivid reminder that she was already in big trouble, and more could befall her if she was caught.Left with no choice, she crashed into one of the buildings, shattering the casement door with her body.She fell, but in less than two seconds she was
The Wrong Chase
Brian looked back at once, scouring the entire dining hall.He could see people trooping in and out, but there was no one he could suspect.First, his eyes were on the young man in casual outfits, and just when he was about to conclude he was responsible for the message he received, a little girl ran to him, prompting him to carry her.Brian quickly turned to the next person that drew his attention.A middle-aged man in a black suit.He was headed for the exit, as though he was on his way to catch a train, lifting his left hand occasionally to peek at his wristwatch.“He is the one. It has to be him…” Brian quickly stood up from his seat, adjusted his jacket, and made a move.“Excuse me, Sir. Do you care for anything?” The waitress almost bumped into him, the tiny space between them coming to the rescue.“No. I am fine…” Brian gave a very scanty response, then he continued moving at high speed.He refused to take his eyes off the middle-aged man, speeding through the aisles while dete

“I want to know those responsible for my father’s death…” He demanded, breaking the silence.“I am going to make sure they pay for this. I will sue them and make sure they end up behind bars…” He swore, almost banging the table with his clenched fists.Brian scoffed, almost upsetting the young man.“What’s funny?” Frank asked, brows arched.“Nothing…”“Then why did you react that way? Don’t you think they can be made to pay for their crimes? Are they above the law?”“You sound just like my wife…” Brian whispered, lowering his gaze.He finally lifted his eyes to the young man, observing the zealousness and annoyance rising inside him.“This is not the kind of battle you fight in a law court, Frank. You can’t even get them sued. They will buy the judge and even make sure you pay for trying to bring them to justice…”Frank huffed, full of doubt even when Brian’s visage should have been enough to tell him how serious the situation was.“I have been a lawyer for almost a decade, Mr. Regal…
Meet the Son
The silence from the other end was doubtful, lingering for more than ten seconds.“Hello, are you still there?” Brian asked, but there was no response.“I know that this is a lot to take in, Frank. But…”“I am not interested…” Frank’s response was unexpected; cold, swift, and interrupting.“I don’t care about that old man. Why won’t he just let me be?” He groaned, his anger echoing through the speakers.“Listen to me…” He was already sounding the stern warning, and only God knew what would have happened if Brian was physically with him.“I don’t care what the old man has promised to give to you, or why you are doing this. Tell him that I don’t want to have anything to do with him. He waited all these years to reconnect with me. What exactly did he think? That I was going to jump up in excitement the moment he told me that he was my real father?”Brian took a deep breath, then he cleared his throat.“So, you know about your father…” His remark was inquisitive at the same time, his mind

He quickly input the number on his phone and dialed it, pressing the device to his right ear.He patiently waited to hear a voice, but there was no response.His eyes were beginning to get heavy, reminding him that he needed to get some rest.But he was determined to get what he wanted, his eyes glued to the screen of the phone. He was relentless, pressing the icon once again before he returned the phone to his ear.“Pick the damn call…” He grunted, almost losing his patience.“Hello?” Brian broke his silence, thinking that he was going to hear a voice.But the call had only just finished ringing, and no one answered again.He sighed in annoyance, lowering the phone slowly.He moved his eyes slowly to the right, looking from one picture to the other.He was unable to confirm the thought that nestled in his mind, staring at the faces in all the pictures.He decided to go back home, but just as he reached with his thumb to press the start button, his phone rang.Brian turned at once, a

“Relax, Brian. I am not your enemy…” Manfred replied, then he cleared his throat.“I never had any intention of killing the old man. What happened to him was quite unfortunate, and I called to offer my sincere apology, and also to tell you that my offer still stands…”“Now that your Concierge is no more, don’t you think that it is time for you to join us?”Brian snarled inwardly, and even if the old man heard him, there was no guarantee that it was going to be enough to stop him from speaking.“We are going to protect you and your family, Brian. You are all alone in this world now. You need us more than you can imagine…”“No, I don’t…” Brian replied coldly, the rage still flashing in his eyes.“You killed my parents, and now you have killed the one person who was willing to do anything for me…”Manfred scoffed, then he got a grip on himself.“Diego was not a saint, and you know it. He betrayed the trust you had in him. He was the reason why we were able to take your babies…”“You must
