Hearing the bill of the food they just ate,Tory's mouth became wide open. Even if the bill wasn't so expensive,it was expensive for a guy like Scott.

But to her greatest surprise,Scott passed his smartphone to the waiter and instructed him to input the account derails without even breaking a sweat.

After inputing the account details,Scott completed the transfer and also ordered for take outs for him and Tory.

The take outs was brought and the duo retrieved it and made their way outside the restaurant. Due to how much they had to eat,the duo's movement were slow and sluggish.

"How did you manage to pay,though?" Tory inquired,still a bit surprised by how Scott was able to pay without even breaking a sweat.

"Come on,don't be dramatic,Tory. The bills wasn't that high." Scott replied,scratching his curly black hair. "Besides,do you have any idea who my fiance is?" Scott asked with a proud look and a smirk.

He chose to pretend that his fiance,Caroline,was the one who gave him tge money to treat her to dinner. Scott wasn't ready to inform anyone of his true identity and it was better to still lay low and play along.

"I knew it." Tory blurtted out. "I guess i should also look for a rich guy that would give me the good things i want." Said Tory while making their way to the bus station.

"You will find one,don't worry." Scott replied.

The duo finally arrived at the bus station and Scott made sure Tory entered a bus that would take her home before making his way back to the main road to get a cab.

Tory's house was located in a whole new destination from where Scott's apartment was.

***

Scott finally arrived home and placed the take outs into his small fridge before collapsing on his bed to have a goodnight rest.

BEEP*

A notification sound was heard in Scott's phone,glancing at the screen,Scott saw a new text message from Caroline.

-(CAROLINE) HI.

-(SCOTT) HEY.

-(CAROLINE) SORRY ABOUT EARLIER.

-(SCOTT) NAH,DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

-(CAROLINE) YOU GOT PLANS TOMORROW?

-(SCOTT) TOMORROW IS SATURDAY,I WON'T BE GOING ANYWHERE. WHY?

-(CAROLINE) SHOULD WE HANG OUT?

-(SCOTT) SURE,I WILL PICK YOU UP TOMORROW.

Delivering the last text,Scott placed his phone on his drawer,his ecpression mixed with excitement and anticipation as he closed his eyes to sleep.

Back in the Fernando residence, Four individual could be seen having a secret conversation in a room that was located upstairs. Based on how they spoke quietly,it was obvious they did not want anyone to hear what they were talking about.

"I wonder what charm that bastard placed on my daughter's head that makes her not want to leave him." Mrs Sheila blurtted with looks of disdain as she remembers Scott's face from earlier.

"I mean,did you even see the guy?" Louis uttered. "He's very disgusting. I can't allow him enter into this family."

"I am not sure if we can do anything about that since your father already approved their wedding." Mrs. Sheila responded. "The only thing we can do now is make his life a living hell when he comes into this house. We'll frustrate him until he leaves."

"I don't think that would be necessary." Aunt Zaya who has been on the phone with someone for a while now finally ended the call and stated.

"What do you mean?" Louis questioned,confused by Aunt Zaya's words.

"Pedro called me earlier that he has a plan to make that riff raff not step into this house. And now he called me saying his plan was a success and all we had to do was wait till tomorrow." Aunt Zaya explained with a mischievious smirk as she grabs a glass of red wine and sips it.

"What do you mean? What plan?" Mrs Sheila asked hastily.

"We will just have to wait and see what Pedro is up to." Aunt Zaya replied.

***

The morning sun rose up and shone brightly into the eyes of Scott,and slowly he began to wake up from his slumber. Today was saturday,a weekend to do what he wanted.

Scott's initial plan for his weekend was to just lie down on his bed and rest after such a stressful week at work. But after Caroline's invite,he knew he had to change his plan and spend the whole of the day with her.

Scott rose up from his bed and let out a loud yawn while stretching his body. After making sure he was fully awake,Scott headed inside his bathroom to take a shower.

Few minutes later,Scott walked out of the Shower and headed straight to his fridge and brought out the takeouts from last night's dinner. He placed the food into the microwave and sat down patientiely,waiting for it to heat up.

DING*

Scott took out the hot plate and began to dig in and eat. While Scott was eating,he was scrolling through TikTok to pass time while watching funny videos online.

While Scott was scrolling through his phone,a message entered. Scott glanced at the message and was surprised by who the sender was.

"Why does boss wants me in the company right now? Isn't it my day off?" Scott couldn't quite understand what was going on. It was a weekend,why then was he being called by his boss?

After thinking about it for too long,Scott decided it would be best if he just go and see what the problem could be. Quickly dressing up in his hoodie,Scott dashed out of his apartment and headed straight to the company.

***

The company was already crowded with every single person who worked there. They were asked to arrange themselves in a straight line while they await the boss.

Few minutes later,the boss,Pedro Louis walked in,dressed in black suit and trousers.

Pedro stood infront of the workers and glanced at each and everyone of their faces like he was searching for a paeticular person.

Just when he was about to ask where the person was,Scott rushed into the company and was surprised by who was standing infront of him.

The same man that humiliated him yesterday at the Fernando's residence.

"Oh,He's here." Pedro voiced. "Now the reason why i called this meeting is because the company's property went missing overnight. And the property is worth $3,000,000,000."

  • Gunpoint bargain

    "What do you mean some men are there and they want to kill Kelly and her son?" Kael questioned after hearing Camille’s words."I don't know exactly what's happening, but ever since they went upstairs, I've been hearing gunshots. I think they killed all the guards stationed in front of Edward's room, and now they're in to attack them," Camille articulated."That's bad. How many of them are there?" Kael inquired."I don't know. Not up to seven," Camille informed in a hushed tone."Alright. Thanks for the information. I'll let the boss know immediately," Kael bellowed."Alright. Please com—"BAM!Before she could finish her words, the entrance door flew open, and in came a man. Tall and muscular, clad in a long native attire, and his face thick with beards.When he spotted Camille making a call, his expression darkened, and he raised his pistol."You stupid bitch!" he spat. "Who were you calling?! The cops?!"The phone slipped from her hand and hit the floor, and her heart raced. She rai

  • No mercy for the sick

    Mohammed lowered his gun slowly, his gaze shifting toward Aunt Kelly and her son, Edward, who were currently hiding behind the hospital bed."Aunt Kelly..." Mohammed said, his tone deep and menacing. "It's so good to finally see you."A shocked expression appeared on Kelly's face after hearing those words, and she managed to summon the courage to speak up.“H-H-How do you know my name?” she stuttered."Oh, I know a lot of things," Mohammed responded casually. "I know that's your son, Edward, and I know about his condition. He’s been suffering from one disease after another, and he only just started to recover. I've been keeping an eye on you. They say the best way to defeat your enemy is to study them first. And that’s exactly what I’ve been doing."Kelly swallowed hard after hearing those words, and cold sweat trickled down her face."Who are you? And what do you want?" she questioned, her voice trembling with fear and her heart pounding in her chest. Edward, who sat on the tiled flo

  • No way out

    The woman’s eyes widened in terror the moment she caught sight of the gun in the man’s hand. Her heart pounded violently within her chest, each thump echoing like a war drum in her ears.“Tell me where the room is,” Mohammed said, his voice calm yet filled with threat, “and I will spare your life... and the lives of every worker here. Refuse, and there will be a massacre. Every single one of you will die. So start talking.”Cold sweat trickled down her temples as his words sank in. Her throat bobbed as she swallowed hard, fear twisting her stomach into knots.“T-The elevator... over there,” she stammered, her voice shaky and drenched in terror. “Use it to get to the top floor. You’ll find Edward and his mother in the last room.”“Are they alone?” Mohammed pressed. “Or do they have company?”“There are guards up there with them,” she confessed quickly. “They arrived just moments ago.”“Guards, eh?” he murmured. “Are they armed?”She nodded frantically.“How many?”“I... I counted just

  • I wasn't asking

    Back in the hospital...Aunt Kelly sat down on the chair beside the bed where her son, Edward, lay. The room was silent, and the only sound that could be heard was the beeping of the monitor that echoed occasionally. Kelly almost drifted off to sleep before she noticed a movement in her son's bed.She rose to her feet swiftly and turned her gaze toward him.Edward’s eyes were now open, and that alone brought a smile to her face."Mother," he said softly."Welcome back, my son," Aunt Kelly replied warmly, a smile gracing her lips."How long was I asleep?" Edward asked, his voice barely above a whisper."Well, it's been 28 hours since the doctor injected you... you've been asleep since then," Kelly responded."I see," Edward mused, then slowly sat upright."You shouldn't be moving your body like that. You should lie still," Kelly cautioned. "I'll go inform the doctor that you're awake.""Don't worry about that, Mother. I don't feel like seeing any doctor right now," Edward said, his voi

  • Matteo Montanari PT 2

    "Am I hallucinating right now, or is Lorenzo standing right in front of me?" Matteo Montanari exclaimed as he approached Scott."Hello, Matteo. It's been a while." Scott said with a slight smile, and his gaze fixated on Matteo."It's been a while? Dude, we haven't seen in forever." Matteo blurted, and when he was directly in front of Scott he wrapped his arms around him. They hugged for a few seconds before Scott finally pulled away. "Where have you been, man?""Around. I've been traveling the world." Scott responded casually."I see. You look different. Fiercer..like a man who's been through hell." Matteo Montanari stated. "Are you sure all you she was travel around the world for adventure and vacation?" "Well, I never said I traveled around for a vacation or adventure...I had to take care of stuffs in different countries." Scott responded."What kind of stuffs?" Matteo inquired."Dangerous stuffs. War, killing, and other dangerous stuffs. But now's not the time to talk about that."

  • Matteo Montanari

    Scott leaned forward in his seat, his eyes unwavering as they locked onto Aunt Kelly’s. “I came here seeking your advice, Aunt Kelly. I know I’ve already made my decision—I just need to hear it from you. Should I proceed this way? Or would you rather I do something else?” His voice was low but resolute, laced with the weight of a decision that could change everything.Aunt Kelly, who had been standing a few paces away in silence, let out a long, tired sigh. Her eyes shimmered faintly with concern as she walked slowly toward him. She rested a soft hand on his shoulder, her touch warm, maternal.“You do whatever you have to,” she said gently. “I believe in you.”Their eyes met. Scott nodded—once, firmly—before rising to his feet. He slid his hands into the pockets of his long coat and turned toward the door.“I’ll be leaving now,” he said. “Look after Edward until the guards arrive. I’m going to meet Matteo of House Montanari. I’ll inform him about the case and convince him to give me h
