"You don't plan on going over there,do you?" Tory asked with a raised eyebrow while they mop the floor of the hall way.
"I am going. She plans on introducing me to her whole family." Scott replied,also mopping the floor."And then what? They just accept you?" Tory questioned."I hope so. All i have to do is relax and put on my best behaviour. Those people might not be as bad as you think they are. Not all rich people look down on the poor,you know. Some are different." Scott answered back."Tell me any rich person you know that isn't proud." Tory sounded.Scott wanted to mention his name but just decided to remain cool. Even if Scott was a multi trillionaire back home,he has never for once treated the poor badly.He has always treated everyone equally without any impartiallity."That's what i thought." Since Scott just remained silent after the question,Tory took it as a No."If things get out of hand i could always leave the house. You don't have to worry." Scott assured,tapping Tory's shoulder and continuing his work.Hours later,Scott was done with his morning shift and was now on his lunch break. Scott grabbed his backpack and headed out of the company still dressed in his work uniform.Since he knows he would still be returning back to work there was no need to start undressing and dressing back up.Scott boarded a taxi to take him straight to the Fernando residence.***The mansion of the Fernando family was already crowded with people. Family members and friends gathered together to celeberate Malcolm's mother 81st birthday.Lots of gifs and foods filled the living room and hip hops music was playing loudly."Happy birthday grandma." Caroline said,hugging her grandmother."Thank you,My grand daughter." Grandma Nene replied. "I heard your fiance would be coming over?""Ah,Yes,He should be here any minute from now." Caroline replied with a look of anticipation.Scott arrived in the mansion and headed straight to the door. Based on the noise Scott could hear from wherw he stood,he was sure a party was going on inside.Scott hesitated for a while before pushing the door bell.Few seconds after ringing the bell,the entrance door swung open and a striking young man came in view.Sporting black hair,handsome face,and nice fits. Pedro Sergio."Uh..Who are you?" Pedro questioned with a disdainful glare"I'm here to see Caroline. She invited me over." Scott replied,unbothered by his looks."That's weird. I never knew she called in a cleaner to clear out the trash." Pedro sounded with a confused look."I am not a cleaner." Scott responded. "Actually,I am a cleaner,but i am not here as a cleaner." Scott now regretting why he didn't change his clothes.But if we were being honest,Wearing this cleaner uniform was better than wearing that tattered hoodie and faded trousers."If you are not here as a cleaner,what are you here for?" Pedro inquired."I am here as Caroline's fiance because she invited me over for lunch. Now if you would be so kind to inform her that i am outside." Scott stated.Pedro began to laugh out loud. "You are her what?" Pedro asked after the long laugh."You heard me right." Scott uttered. "I am the one she's getting married to."Pedro shot Scott with irritated glares after hearing the words he spoke. He still wasn't sure if Scott was being serious or not,so he invited him in to confirm.Entering inside the mansion,Scott swept his gaze around. The inside was far different from what he saw yesterday.The walls was now filled with so many decorations and disco lights that shone brightly. Loud music played and people dancing to the tune here and there.People began to give Scott dusgusting glares after catching a glimpse of him. What the hell was a guy like this doing inside the mansion of Malcolm Fernando?.Pedro walked up to the Fernando family to inform them of Scott's presence."Where exactly is the fiance?" Caroline's brother,Luis,asked while glancing around the living room."That's him over there." Pedro relied,pointing towards the area Scott stood dressed like a poor cleaner.The whole family remained silent for some seconds before breaking out in laughter."Really,Sis? That guy?" Luis asked with a look of disapointment. "That guy is ment to clean out trash not marry the daughter of Malcolm Fernando.""That's because you don't know him well." Caroline stated,walking over to where Scott stood. "You came." Caroline said with a big smile on her face."Yeah,I came." Scott replied,smiling back."Come on,Let me introduce you." Caroline grabbed Scott's arm and pulled him towards the area her family stood."Brother Luis,Aunt Zaya,Uncle Sergio,Pedro,Dad,Meet Scott." Caroline introduced. Her arm wrapped around Scott's."Nice to meet you trash boy." Pedro mocked and others broke out in laughter."Incase you hate your current job,I could always get you another cleaner job since that's where you belog." Aunt Zaya blurtted out with a look of disgust,and others chimed in with laughter."I suggest you go marry someone in your league,Trash boy. I wouldn't let you pollute this family with your trash!" Uncle Sergio remarked.At that moment,the loud music playing already stopped and everyone present were busy listening to their conversation and laughing as the Fernando's humiliated Scott."Hey,that's not funny." Caroline countred. "I won't let you talk to my fiance like that!""Are you being serious right now?" Pedro voiced. "How can you call this trash your fiance? I am disapointed,Caroline.""Pedro is right. This boy is not even worthy to date a begger let alone the only daughter of the Fernando family." Luis retorted. "Hey,Trash,why not piss off and go date your fellow riff raff.""That's enough,all of you!" Mr Malcolm Fernando finally voiced out. "I am the one who would decide whether she will marry him or not."

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
