A black luxury car drove into the West's plaza and stopped at the parking lot.

Davide looked out of the window and saw that they had arrived at a grand plaza, adorned with towering skyscraper and opulent architectural designs. 

"We are here." Zeta said as she turned off the engine of the car. "This is the headquarters of your family's business in the city." 

The two stepped out of the car, and entered the plaza. Davide subconsciously studied the plaza in awe, his lips left opened. 

The skin of his forehead tightened as his eyebrows remained raised. His eyes were wandering around.

As they walked towards the receptionist, Davide saw a familiar silhouette appeared. 

He stared straight at the man, and a scoff escaped his lips. 

It was Noah.

Davide thought, since Avery will no longer be part of his life, then he wasn't going to see Noah again, but he was wrong.

He tried to look away, but every step closer to the reception only made him glare at the man. He recalled how he treated him back at the hospital.

Davide drifted his gaze from the man, but then-

"Let's get to the reception." Zeta tells him. 

A displeased grunt escaped his lips, he stopped in his tracks and gently rubbed his temple.

"Is there something wrong?" Zeta could see he was being unusual but Davide only nodded.

"I'm good." He forced a smile, and walked behind Zeta. 

His gaze fell on the man, to his surprise, Noah was staring at him.

The annoying man perched on the receptionist desk. His right hand, stylishly deep in his pants. 

Noah's eyes widened as he spotted Davide standing with a beautiful girl by his side. 

His competitive nature kicked in, and he couldn't resist the urge to show off in front of the girl.

 He strutted towards them with a confident swagger, determined to make his presence known.

Noah came to a stop in front of Davide, and his face contorted into a mock expression of anger. "Who gave you permission to enter?" he demanded, crossing his arms over his chest.

Davide furrowed his brow, taken aback by Noah's confrontational approach. 

There was a wave of rage, coursing through his veins, his thumbs balled into fist. 

Zeta could see how irritated Davide was by the man, she quickly stepped in, "Yes, it was me," she said calmly, looking Noah straight in the eye.

Noah's demeanor quickly shifted, and he turned towards the girl with a menacing glare. "You have no right to bring anyone in. Do you even know who the owner of this plaza is? You've already offended them," he said in a threatening tone.

Noah's expression darkened, and he took a step closer to Zeta, "This is not a place for uninvited guests, and you've crossed the line."

Zeta wasn't at all fazed by Noah's words, and in fact even marveled at his arrogance and entitlement.

 Davide clenched his fists, feeling a surge of anger rising within him. He couldn't stand the way Noah was trying to intimidate them.  

Davide decided to step in, unable to tolerate Noah's threats any longer. "Hold on, what would happen since we're here? And why can you be here?" 

Noah's eyes flashed with annoyance at being challenged by Davide. "The owner of this plaza is not someone to be trifled with. I happen to know him, that's how I got in here, but you? You can't go in, else you'd end up dead." 

A mockery smile escaped Zeta's lips, she tuck some strands of her hair behind her ears, as she listened to the man. 

Davide's eyes sank, and his face turned extremely glum, "What do you mean? How do you know the owner?"

"Well, let's just say we have some history. But here's the deal. I can save you both from getting killed, but the only condition is that this beautiful girl here spends a night with me." Noah winked at the beautiful lady.

"No way!" Zeta exclaimed, her voice laced with fury.

Davide's eyes widened in shock at Noah's proposition. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. His fists clenched as he said in a deep threatening tone, "Absolutely not! "You have no right to make such demands." 

There was a sudden glint of frustration in Noah's eyes, his arrogant smirk faltered, and he looked taken aback by Davide's strong stance.

"But, but..." he stammered, struggling to come up with a response. 

Noah's face turned pale, and he trembled for a moment. 

He never imagined that Davide who he walked all over at the hospital was challenging him. 

Noah scoffed in amusement, and his gaze kept drifting between Davide and the beautiful lady, "Now tell me, how will you enter?" 

Hearing Noah's words, Davide's eyes were stern and gloomy. 

'Ridiculous! Simply absurd' Davide thought.

Zeta scoff filled the air as she took out her phone to call someone, but then-

A group of imposing-looking individuals emerged from the elevator. They were wearing suits and had a stern expression on their faces, exuding an air of authority.

Noah's eyes widened in fear as he saw the imposing individuals approaching. His arrogant smirk faded, and his body tensed up. 

His voice trembled as he spoke, "N-now no one can help you. These are the board of directors, and they won't let you in." Noah's bravado was slowly crumbling.

Davide's expression remained stern, but a glimmer of satisfaction flickered in his eyes as he saw Noah's fear.

'Clown.' He thought. 

Davide had no idea what was happening, but seeing Noah sweating and frightened, left a smile on his lips.

The board of directors approached, and their stern gazes fell upon Davide and Zeta, "Welcome Mr. West and Miss Zeta."

The directors lowered their heads respectfully. 

Noah's heart surged with confusion. Blood rushed to his head and his expression kept changing. 

Beads of sweat kept forming over his body as Noah wondered, 'what the hell s happening here? Why are the directors saluting Davide?'

Keeping their thoughts in, wondering if the other would like to talk. "How do you feel?" Mr Lee broke the silence, "you've been quiet, it makes me anxious".Davide chuckled, "I'm just thinking about what happened"."You have a suspect in mind" it wasn't a question, it was more of a declaration because it was the truth. These past few days, Mr Lee could say that he knew Davide to a extent and he knew that Davide had been thinking about this since Avery had said itFor Davide to have been told that he knew who the person was, his thoughts had not been able to settle, the erraticness of his heart was what shut his mouth up. He could not voice how he was feeling, where was hurting or would he come up with what to do abo

    Cassie and Avery were no doubt excited about this. Seeing that Avery knew a lot about fashion and knew a lot of designers, Cassie decided that in this secret mission of theirs, Avery was going to be her assistant."I think it'll help tremendously if we were to leave the country". Avery said.Cassie, Davide and Mr Lee looked at her in confusion. They couldn't understand how this would help, they couldn't see it from her point of view.Avery recognized the confusion in them and only smiled before further explaining: "I know Cassie would be the last person they would think to search, but she will still be on the list, they know you guys are together and that Cassie is obviously on your side. So the best way to ensure that they don't find out about this, is to do this in another country".Davide nodded his head, "you're right," he said. "Leaving the country is a good pla

    Mr Lee sounded so broken as he talked about his father. When he had told Davide about his family, he never really went into details about anything, only sliding over the surface as he spoke about the things his parents had put him through. He didn't talk about the punches, about how he had to defend himself against them, about how he had felt to see the man he called his father, the man he was supposed to love, the man that was supposed to be his hero turn into his greatest adversary. He never spoke about how those punches destroyed him, he only talked about how his mother's words broke him acting like the effect of his father's actions had not in any way affected him when in actuality it had made him less of a person. He had lived with the trauma, he had received abuses, punches from people just because it felt natural. But he was an adult now and he knew nothing about fighting back. He could not fight back because he was broken, he had been made less by the most important person to

    Davide's heart was beating against his chest violently like drums at a carnival as he waited impatiently for Avery to say what she wanted to say. He was anxious, he wondered if Avery was confident in her own answer, if she really believed that she knew the person.He figured that if she really does know who it was that had come for the gold, then he would know that person as well. Sure, Avery did know a lot of people that he didn't know but the list of suspects was reduced to the people that Avery knew who also knew Davide. This attack, this hate was only against him. It was too strong to be said that It was targeted at the people that were around Avery. This person was coming for Davide directly and so he must know them.A fear gripped his heart, he had known for a while now that the person who was plotting against him in such a way was an acquaintance or even a friend, but being met with facts that proved his deductions had been corr

    It did not cross Avery's mind that that was a question she should be asking a perpetrator who was clothed in black clothes. She was, however, anxious and also very scared. The physique of the person was tiny, they looked short and for some reason very curvy.Avery kept scrutinizing the person as the two of them stayed in the same position, eyes focused on the other. Avery wss unrelenting, she was not going to back down, she had been trying her hardest to atone for her sins and now that it seemed she really didn't need atonement the least she could do was give back what she had taken. But this person was going to rob her of that chance.It was highly impossible that Avery was going to let them.The person's eyes darted around the room, possibly looking for an opportunity to escape, but it was unlike it seeing that the room was messy and the only way that they would be able to escape was to jump over heaps of clothes or maybe fly, and it was very impossible that the person could fly.Av

    The car ride was silent. But it was mainly because they both just got in. Avery wanted to say a lot of things to him but they mostly just circled around the words: "Thank you".She didn't know where to begin, his eyes were on the road as he drove, she wondered if she was the only one feeling this way. It wasn't so hard to guess that he was just being nice, he just pitied her. Though she felt that maybe it was more than that, maybe there was something else but she couldn't really say. She didn't know how to start the conversation. She didn't know how to start telling him thank you.Mr Lee however was more nervous than she was. He was sweating in places he didn't think existed. His heart was beating very fast and he was surely in need of a conversation.He wanted to talk to her about what happened, however, he was worried that maybe she would get the wrong idea, it was mainly that he wanted to talk about when the depression started, when she started to feel like there was nothing holdin
