"You are frightening the guest so that's the only decision that I can make."  The guard responded.

Thoughts were running through his head and his hands were clutched almost immediately. 

"And what if I decide not to?" He frowned.

Luther burst out into laughter almost immediately and after what seemed to be like forever, he paused, staring right into the eyes of the pauper that was right before him.

"As though you have a choice." He said but Austin firmly ignored the words.

"You should leave peacefully at least. I don't want to force you to." The guard said calmly.

"You should listen to him already and go," Ariel growled afterward.

There was a tense air in the place as everyone waited for what was going to be the reaction of  Austin but he wasn't ready to leave, even for a single moment.

"I am not leaving for anywhere. You can make me too." He replied.

The guard walked towards the previous post and got the phone that was meant for his work. Luther's heart raced after.

The guard said walked closer towards them but as he was about to place the call. He noticed something.

It was Ramsey, the closest person in the family of the heir. His heart dropped. 

There were rumors surrounding the stranger were widespread among employees of the company cause he rarely came out.

Some said that he was a vampire while others said that he was sick in the head.

But one thing that the guard knew was the fact that now he was around, he had to go out of his way to impress him.

Who knows, maybe he would be able to get the promotion that he had always craved for all these while.

Putting the cell phone away, he walked gradually towards him getting Luther angry.

"And what do you think that you are doing?" He shot a really angry stare at the guard.

The commotion that arose from this particular area drew Ramsey's attention as he finally noticed the one that he had been searching for throughout the hall.

Walking gradually towards the scene of the event, the visitors who didn't know the status that he held were awe-struck by his stunning looks, the perfect facial cute, and the Greek god status.

Luther was jealous but he didn't care less.

"What's going on here?" Ramsey Inquired a little bit confused.

"And who are you?" Luther inquired, not trying to hide the hate that he had brewed against Ramsey even for a single moment.

His eyes were farrowed as he made a swift turn towards the direction of the sound.

Meanwhile, the guards shivered right on the point that he standing as he greeted swiftly.

"Good day, Master Ramsey!" The guard greeted swiftly with a slight bow. But ignoring his pleasantries, Ramsey went ahead to say.

"Do you care to tell me what's going on here?" He inquired still staring and waiting for a response.

But before the guard could get to answer the question that had been flung towards his direction, Luther flung towards them.

"I asked you a question young man and I will repeat it, who the heck do you think you are?" He inquired again in an insulting manner.

Ramsey had never had anyone speak to him in such a manner in a long time and this got him baffled, his hands transfixed into a clutch.

"I think I should be the one asking you that question, who are you?" He Inquired back.

Leaning forward with a proud expression on his face, Luther wasn't hesitant to answer the question that was thrown before him.

"If you care to know, I am Luther, the youngest billionaire in the city." He replied.

Ramsey tried as much as he could to control himself from falling deeply into laughter. But he could not help but let out a giggle.

"Seriously? I thought that it was someone even more influential." He chuckled increasing Luther's anger.

"Then you have to be so powerful for none of us to know who you are." Ariel mocked. "Why don't you tell us who you are? Or you are afraid to, just because you are an absolute nobody like him?" Ariel said further, pointing directly toward Austin.

He scoffed exchanging glances with Ramsey as they spoke in their friendship language.

His heart raced as he turned and stood towards the guard with a deadly frown hanging on his face as though he was going to tear the guard apart.

"I asked you a question earlier. Do you care to tell me what's going on or you are just going to keep mopping at me?" Ramsey said.

Cold chills went down the spine knowing that he had gotten himself into a whole lot of trouble.

He knew that he had to bend the situation in such a way that it was going to favor him but Ramsey said a word a while later that threw off the thoughts from his head.

"And don't try to lie to me because I am going to get the CCTV survey." He added the initial frown that was hanging on his face deepening even more.

Pointing towards Luther, the guard went further to say.

"He wanted me to chase that bum away." Referring to Austin.

"Even though everyone's pass was properly issued by Jane herself?" He thundered.

"I tried to explain to him but he wasn't going to listen to him. And I was afraid of getting on his bad side so I just had to do what he asked me to."  The guard's head was bowed down to the floor.

His heart racing faster. Ramsey could not express his shock and anger towards Luther at the same time.

"Such a foolish bitch." He muttered under his breath.

But before Austin could get to say another word from his mouth, Luther walked gradually towards them.

"Due to the way that he had been pacing up and down angrily earlier, he could barely fix a proper sentence from what they were saying.

"I don't care who you are or what you came here to do. You aren't different from that bum."

Turning over the guard who was still shivering, he went further to say.

"I want them out of this place right away or you are going to face the deadly consequences." Luther thundered.

"We just need a few suits, not enough to redecorate Austin's entire apartment."Austin, the object of their playful jabs, followed behind, a sheepish smile tugging at his lips. "Hey, I gotta step up my game, right? Can't walk into my first official day as a manager looking like a college freshman anymore. Not in a hoodie and jeans, please."Vincent snorted. "Don't worry, Aust. By the end of this shopping spree, you'll look sharper

    A grin split Vincent's face as Austin finished explaining his plan. "That's a brilliant idea, man," he said, bumping fists with Austin in a friendly greeting. Ramsey, ever the strategist, chimed in with a thoughtful nod."And remember," Ramsey added, "we're always here to back you up if things get hairy.""Yeah, thanks a bunch, bro," Austin replied, his smile widening as he shook both their hands. It was a simple gesture, a silent language of trust and camaraderie that spoke volumes.Ramsey, however, wasn't quite finished. "Hold on, Austin," he interjected, turning towards Vincent.

    Saint gnawed on his thumbnail, pacing like a caged wolf on the narrow balcony overlooking the bustling city below. Sweat beaded on his forehead despite the cool night air.He replayed the events in his head, calculating the timeline with morbid satisfaction. By now, Rose had to be gone. He was sure she would be dead.He'd orchestrated a "tragic accident" – a forced jump off a moving boat, playing on her crippling fear of water. In his mind, it was a foolproof plan.Rose had aquaphobia and being on the sea would have raised her blood pressure. And for her to even jump into the sea would have been so bad on her.Rose wouldn't have lasted a second in the water. Her aquaphobia was legendary, guaranteed to send her blood pressure skyrocketing and her heart

    A steaming mug of coffee cupped in her hands, Ariel scanned the bustling coffee shop.Her eyes snagged on a flash of familiar blonde hair – Crystal, pushing open the door with a flourish. Relief washed over Ariel, momentarily eclipsing the bitter aftertaste of her previous conversation with Andrew.Maybe Crystal's infectious energy would chase away the lingering tension. Crystal was so anxious to know about her plans and here they were, ready to spill out.Ariel slammed her mug down a little too hard, the clatter drawing Crystal's attention. A wide grin stretched across Crystal's face as she sashayed over, her hips swaying with practiced ease. Crystal saw her at one go and walked towards her with a big smile on her face."I beat you when it comes to time but it seems like you win the Speed Demon award again," Crystal announced as she slid into the seat opposite Ariel.Ariel laughed, the sound was genuine despite the knot of worry tightening in her stomach. "Always," she conceded. "Tho

    "He's headed to South America. That's far away." Christian muttered more like he was talking to himself and still looking at the tab before him, "He's hopping continents, Christian. That's a long way from the mess he made here." Disbelief laced Christian's voice.Saint, that criminal was traveling very far away from his crimes. He was trying very hard to slip further and further away."He's got a mission, Psalms," Christian said, a steely glint entering his eyes. "And we're going to help him complete it."Psalms scoffed. "By letting him waltz off to South America and hoping he spills his guts on some exotic beach? Christian, that's a crazy plan.""Not crazy," Christian corrected, his voice firm. "Risky, yes. But it's the only way to get him. Think about it, Psalms. If we follow him and get close enough to gain his trust, we can get him to talk. He might slip up, and reveal details about other operations, bigger players. Evidence the cops can't ignore."A tense silence rose between the

    The sterile white walls of the hospital seemed to press down on Vincent as he shuffled behind Ramsey and Austin, their laughter bouncing off the polished floor. Outside, the late afternoon sun casts long shadows, promising the freedom Vincent craved."That's crazy, you know," Austin cackled, nudging Ramsey with his elbow. "Just leave him there. He'd probably start talking to pigeons again."Ramsey slapped Austin on the back, a booming laugh erupting from his chest. "Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. Vincent, the pigeon whisperer."Vincent rolled his eyes, a familiar warmth blooming in his chest despite their teasing. "So, you're saying I've always been a couple of fries short of a happy meal? That I've always been crazy, yeah?"Ramsey grinned, a playful glint in his eyes. "Everyone knows that. Vinnie and Trouble, 5&6. You're our resident nutter."The playful banter felt foreign after weeks of IV drips and endless beeping monitors. Vincent winced as he remembered the metallic tang of bloo
