Exiting the mansion, Scott headed straight home. He lacked the monet to use public transport since he left his debit card at home due to rush, so he ended up treking.
While walking through the street under the afternoon sun, Scott began to ponder on just how he would dig out some evidence that would prove his innocence to Mr. Fernando.He was certain that Pedro planted that object in his locker just to frame him and prevent the wedding, but with no concrete evidence no one would believe him.And to make matters worse, he only has 10 days to fulfill the task.'I can't let the wedding being called off. I still need to get married into that family so i could watch them from the inside.' Scott pondered, walking through the street with his hands tucked in his pockets.The only reason why he came into the country, disguising as Scott, was to investigate a certain family. And that family was the Fernando family.He had suspected the family to be the cause of his father and little sister's death that happened months ago, but he needed evidence to prove they were guilty.Mr. Fernando worked under his father in his company, until his father built another company in this country and assigned it unto Mr. Fernando. Mr. Fernando must have hired gang to kill him because his father was shot immediately he got to the airport, and his little sister also got shot.No one knew who shot the bullet, but it couldn't be a coincidence that the day his father went to the country to fire Mr. Fernando, that's also the day he died.'I just need to gather more info on them. And getting married to Caroline is the perfect way for me to carry out my plan. She thinks i'm a fool and i don't know she cheats on me with Pedro?' Scott intoned with a grin on his face.He remembered one night when he caught Pedro banging Caroline, but he chose to turn a blind eye and ignore it.'I wonder why she is also pretending to love me. Why does she keep fighting with Pedro and her family when she knows she doesn't love me?' Scott mused in confusion. The way Caroline defenfed him infront of her family, even when she is cheating on him, made him wonder why.When someone is cheating on someone means she doesn't love him again. Why then is she fighting to get married to him?'Well, it doesn't matter.' Scott chose to ignore the matter and took another turn to a new broad street. The street was quite broad and empty, but the sound of a girl whimpering cohld be heard meters away.'What's that noise?' Scott pondered, increasing his pace as he headed towards the sound. Upon getting there, he found a single thug that had tattoos all over his body molesting a girl and she was beghing for her life with tears streaming down her eyes."Jusr shut up and stop struggling!" The thug voiced out, grabbing her two arms with a single hand and using his other hand to undress her.Scott emanined the situation for few minutes before glancinh at the floor and saw a metal bar. He picked it up and held it firmly with both hands."Let her go!" Scott voiced in a demanding tone, causing the thug and the girl to shift their gazes towards him."Get out of here, kid. There is nothing to see!" The thug sounded, ignoring Scott and continuing with his business."I said let her go!" Scott repeated,taking a step forward. This time, the thug let go of the girl and she fell to the ground, before turning around to face Scott."You got a death wish or what, kid?" The thug questioned, pulling out a knife from his pocket and holding it tightly in his hand. "You missed your chance of escaping, kid."Saying those words, the thug pulled his arm backwards and stabbed his knife forward towards Scott. Scott reacted by lifting up the iron bar and deflecting the knife.After successfully dodging the attack, Scott lifted up his leg and kicked the thug on the chest and he fell down to the floor. Before he could stand back up, Scott lifted up the solid iron bar and slammed it on the thug's head.The bar made impact with his head and knocked him down to the floor. Blood flowed out from his head and he laid down there motionless.Scott dropped the bar and began to pant heavily. He glanced at the thug on the ground and moved closer to him to examine him."Y-y-you killed him." The lady that was being molested earlier spoke in a shaky voice with her palm covering her mouth.She wasn't wrong. The thug was dead. Scott killed him.Scott picked up the knife which the thug wielded and examined the hilt. There was a drawing of a red skull which Scott recognized instantly.'He is apart of the Red skull gang.' Scott pondered with his heart racing. He placed the knife in his pocket and attempted to leave."W-where are you going?" The lady questioned."What do you mean where am i going? I am going home ofcourse." Scott responded, irritated by her question."What about me?" She asked,wiping thw tears off her eyes."What about you?" Scott responded with a question."Where am i going to go? This street is where i used to live, and now that you just killed a gang m...""Hey, listen up." Scott interrupted her. "Yes, i killed him. But it was out of self defense. If you ever mention anything to anyone, i will come for you too." Scott bluffed."I don't plan on telling anyone. But if the police or the gang finds me here they would force the information out of me. So please, help me." She pleaded, grabbing unto Scott's arm.Scott glanced at her and realized she was right. If he should leave without her, the police might show up and arrest her and then force the information out of her.So the best thing to do now was..."Come with me." Scott uttered.

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
