Prison and Debts
Brian seemed like the only one who wasnât moved by compassion, standing firm with his deadpan expression.Rebecca stared at Emilio with pity in her eyes, and before she realized it, she was already approaching him with staggering steps.âWhat happened, Emi? Why were you arrested?â She asked with concern glittering in her eyes, and the moment Emilio saw it, he took advantage of it. âIâŚâ He sobbed silently, taking a deep breath. âAfter your brother kicked me out of this city, I decided to make something out of my life. There was no way I was going to sit idle and do nothingâŚâ He took a break, sniffling twice for every second he was silent. âSo, I joined this group of guys. A friend introduced me to this business. I thought it was just the usual offloading of cargo, but not until I got in. They made me sign an agreement of secrecy. They said it was a precautionâŚ.â âBut that was a lie. They were importing weapons. Guns and ammunition of different kindsâŚâRebecca covered her mou
Thrown in Prison
âDid you just threaten me?â Brian asked, staring with an arched brow. âWas that a threat?â He repeated, taking a deep breath. âWhat do you think it is?â Emilio retorted, gritting his teeth in anger. âAfter everything your father did to me. You should be on your knees, apologizing. You should beg me for forgiveness!â He growled inwardly, pointing to the scar on his neck. Brian exhaled sharply, taking two steps closer to the middle-aged man.âI am not my father, Mr. Emilio. I cannot even claim to be aware of what happened to youâŚââBut his blood runs in your veins!â Emilio pointed out, his finger vibrating. His eyes burned like magma, like hot coals enough to flame. âTiago Regalâs blood runs inside you, boy! You are his son, and I am sure you will be just like him.â âThatâs a very funny thing to say, Mr. Emilio,â Brian said calmly, then he took two steps forward. âBecause you are not entirely innocent yourselfâŚâ âWhat the hell are you talking about?â Emilio groaned,
Not a Guard
âWhy not?â Brian replied almost immediately, turning to face Emilio. âYou are asking why not?â Emilio scoffed, then he sniggered. âBecause you are not family, boy! You are just a fucking bodyguard! You should be outside the door, keeping watch. That's where you belong. Now, go. Go do your damn job!â His voice was low but imperative, his gesture as arrogant as he was. âI wonder why you think itâs okay to interfere with a family discussion. You donât know your boundaries. Get the hell out of here and let the family members talkâŚâ Brian chuckled softly, turning to Rebecca. The lady said nothing, still dealing with her emotional baggage. âYou want me to leave?ââYes, boy! Get the hell out of here!â Emilio insisted, then he turned to Vicky. âIs he deaf?â He asked, but he was too ignorant to notice the look on her face, not only hers, but Carlâs as well. Rebecca was the only one who had a different countenance, and it was all because of her mood. She was heartbroken and r
Carlâs Father
Rebecca swallowed hard, and maybe it would have been easy for her if all the eyes in the room werenât on her. She looked like she was standing trial, her frantic breath still in charge. âI didnât have any choiceâŚâ She muttered, shaking her head as though it was too heavy. âI had to protect you guys. You are my childrenâŚâ âThatâs not the answer to my question, Mum.â Carl cut her short, eyes sparkling with impatience. âIsâŚâ He sniffled, eyes burning with annoyance. âIs my father truly dead? Just like you told me?â âCarlâŚâ Rebeccaâs tone was broken, more tears welling in her eyes. âJust answer the question, Mum. I am begging youâŚâ Carl pleaded, yet there was still anger in his voice. âIs he still alive? Is my father still alive?â He asked for the umpteenth time, his voice getting more distraught with every sound. Rebecca took a deep breath, then she turned to Vicky, shifting her gaze to Emilio the next second. âThis is all your faultâŚâ She said, scowling at him. âM
Not Dead
âCarl?â Rebecca called out to her son the moment she set her eyes on him, then she began to walk up to him.âWhat are you doing here?â She asked, staring with wide eyes.Carl said nothing, his entire attention on the man at Brianâs mercy.âWho is he?â He asked, but before he could get a response, someone else walked in.âVicky?â Rebecca muttered, then she rushed to grab her.âYou guys should be out there, with the guests.â She grabbed Carl as well, but he was too strong to pull.âWhatâs going on here, Mum? Why is Brian holding that man like he is a thief?â Vicky asked, turning while she refused to yield to her motherâs push.âThatâs because he is a thief, Vicky.â Rebecca was quick to respond, but the uneasiness in her tone was still intact.âI need you guys to return to the hall and stay with the guests. Brian and I will handle this, okay?ââIs that my daughter?!â Emilio bellowed, then he made the umpteenth attempt to stand.âLet go of me, you bastard!â He yelled at Brian, but that wa
The Father
âSeriously?â Emilio huffed, a slight disbelief in his eyes.âAre you just going to stand there and watch your thug insult me?â He turned to Rebecca with a glare plastered across his face, but it didnât seem like he was going to get any response from her, no matter how long he waited.âBecky?â He called out, reaching to grab her.âDonâtâŚâ Rebecca pulled back at once, rolling her eyes at him.âYou heard himâŚâ Her voice was barely above a whisper, her eyes sparkling with annoyance.âItâs time for you to leave, Emilio. I never want to set my eyes on you again. You have done enough reminding me of my pains.âEmilio scoffed, looking the lady in the eyes.âYou want me to leave?â That was a rhetorical question, but he still got a nod from the lady.The next second, Brian stepped forward, turning to Emilio with burning eyes.âItâs either you leave the easy way or the hard way.â His tone was calm, yet there was a kind of dominance sparkling in his eyes.Emilio ignored it, returning his gaze to
