last update2025-01-21 23:17:20

Over time, Due to Trisha’s statement, his boss’ help, and the other people’s positive feedback about him, Zayne’s popularity increased.

Not only in the town but also in the Capital.

“Did you hear? Zayne donated $100,000 to the charity for the orphaned children!”

“Really? But he also had just given money to cancer patients the other day.”

“And he had infiltrated an enemy hideout with his team last week. Wow, is he a saint? How could Zayne do everything all at once?”

Zayne was the popular talk of the town for a while now—and Oliver was experiencing the same thing.

However, it was the complete opposite.

Every time people see him walking on the street, he receives deadly glares and harsh criticisms.

“Tsk! He shouldn’t have been released in jail! What if he kidnaps Trisha again?”

“Right! She isn’t even recovering from her trauma yet. Is the police here not working that hard? Why couldn’t they find enough evidence to put him in bars?”

“Poor Trisha… All she did was love him, yet this is wha

    At a secluded bar in another town, Oliver went inside, not minding the people drinking and making out in every corner.The smoke from the cigarettes filled the air, as did the music blasting from the DJ, who enjoyed playing it in front.“Are you sure Ray could be here?” Oliver asked Melissa through the phone, his voice louder than usual.“I’m not a hundred percent sure, but according to my investigation, he went there occasionally,” Melissa replied, her tone firm. “Ray Parker is hard to find, so we should take every piece of information we got—no matter how small it was.”Realizing Melissa was right, Oliver nodded. “I’ll try finding him here.”He ended the call and slid the phone into his pocket.Oliver wandered around the bar, his muscular appearance attracting some of the girls inside the bar.Even though the town where he was right now was a few miles from his home, no one recognized him.“Hey, handsome,” one of the customers wearing revealing clothes approached Oliver, her hands c

    Ray, known for his fast reflexes, managed to dodge all the bullets as he went back to hiding again.“Damn, are all of you blind? You can’t even shoot a man like me?” Ray asked, purposely trying to heat the conversation. “Bring it on, bastards!”“Kill him and find Zero!” their leader exclaimed.All of them fired bullets, and just like what they planned, the first round of their magazines ran out.Seeing the opportunity, Oliver attacked them from behind.“Ugh!” the opponent grunted, feeling the knife burying into his neck. “Z-Zero…”“This should be your lucky day, huh? Seeing me before you die…” Oliver smirked and pulled the knife, making the blood spurt.The man stumbled to the floor, lifeless.“Shit. Shit…” another member cursed, their hands trembling as they tried reloading their guns.But before they could succeed in it, Oliver kicked the gun and magazine from his hand and caught it.In just a few seconds, Oliver managed to reload the magazine—it was as easy as pie for him.“Here, c

    After talking for a few hours, Oliver and Ray already had their plans and formulated steps to execute them.“Dealing with Zayne would not be a piece of cake. It could put you in danger as well. Remember that,” Oliver reminded, his tone low.Ray nodded. “I already knew that ever since what happened to us three years ago. If our enemy wasn't as strong as ours, we would have defeated them back then.”“Right,” Oliver agreed, although it was hard for him to accept it. “So our first step is to investigate further about the Safe Haven Defense, and find more of Zayne’s weaknesses.”“Consider it done,” Ray affirmed.Due to his role in the Legion V before, Ray was often assigned to tasks like investigating someone or infiltrating their base.“I can’t help but remember the past,” Ray muttered, the sadness evident in his tone. “We were executing missions pretty well back then, and you’re guiding us properly.”“It would have been nice if the other members were with us right now,” he added and heav

    Trisha’s eyes widened upon hearing that question. She froze and looked away, trying to avoid Oliver’s gaze.“No, I don’t,” she denied.Oliver held her arm, his grip in the balance between authority and gentleness.“You can fool anyone but not me,” he said, his tone dangerously low. “You remember something, and that’s why you can’t even bring yourself out of the mansion.”Trisha gasped. As much as she wanted to deny, Oliver was right.It was a faint memory—something she wasn’t even sure whether it really happened or not.But her intuition says it did.“Asshole! You’re the reason why she’s being like this! How could you even blame an innocent man?!” Carolina exclaimed, referring to Zayne. “Just get out here, will you—”Before Carolina finished her sentence, Oliver pulled Trisha inside the Henverton mansion, and although it was locked, he easily opened it.“H-How…” Carolina muttered, the shock evident in her eyes. “Wait… Why did you go inside? That’s trespassing!”She tried to open the g

    While Oliver and Ray were drinking at the bar, Rebecca did the same thing on the countertop.“One margarita, please,” she said, raising her glass.“On it, Ma’am.” The bartender nodded.As the bartender created her drink, Rebecca sighed upon sipping her remaining beverage.It has been a while since she went to the bar last time with Oliver and Nate.“Oliver…” Rebecca said, her tone low. “I wonder how he is right now…”She knew about what happened to Trisha, and how Oliver was framed up to the crime. Rebecca trusts Oliver, so she believes that claim instead of Carolina’s statement that Oliver was the one who kidnapped Trisha.Strangely, Rebecca felt that the same thing happened to her, although she couldn’t remember anything related to that.“Here, Ma’am,” the bartender said, snapping Rebecca from her thoughts.“Thank you.” Rebecca smiled and took the wine glass from the bartender’s grasp.Rebecca drank it in a few gulps, followed by someone sitting beside her.“Take it easy. You might

    Jay’s brows furrowed, his expression mixed with confusion and anger.“Who the fuck—”His words halted upon seeing a familiar man in the same room as them.“Oliver?”“Didn’t I warn you before not to do things like this?” Oliver asked.Then, his gaze moved to the sachet he was holding. “That trick again?”“Again?” Rebecca asked, frowning. “This happened before.”“This is why I told you not to trust him, Rebecca,” Oliver said, his hand gripping onto Jay’s collar. “But I’m not blaming you. This asshole is the one at fault.”Oliver’s gaze went back to Jay, who looked infuriated because of his sudden appearance.“What the fuck? Why are you always messing with my plans?!” Jay exclaimed, the frustration evident in his voice.“You’re not even his real boyfriend! Why do you always interfere—”Before Jay could answer his question, Oliver punched him in the face, making Jay stumble on the ground.“Because I’m a decent man, punk,” Oliver muttered, the side of his lips curving upward.“You bastard

    A few minutes later, Jay was badly beaten up.His eyes were almost closed and his body was trembling badly, given how many punches Oliver gave him.Not being able to see and think straight anymore, Jay kneeled on the floor.“I-I’m sorry… I won’t do it again,” Jay said, his tone low and pleading. “Please let me go… I won’t go near Rebecca. I promise you that.”“Hmm?” Oliver raised a brow. “But this is the second time. How can I trust you?”“I-I…” Jay trailed off, not knowing what to say. “I will transfer to a different town! I swear—”Before Jay could finish his sentence, Oliver pulled him by the collar before slamming him again on the floor.“You dare lie to me despite pleading? Both of us know you can’t leave this town,” Oliver stated, his tone dangerously low.Hearing Oliver’s words only made Jay tremble more.‘He’s right. Dad will probably kill me if I leave all the businesses in this town…’ he thought. ‘But how did Oliver know about it?’“I’m giving you another chance, and remembe

    “Sure,” Oliver answered without hesitation. “Where are you right now? I’ll come to you.”“No,” Ryan refused on the other line. “Let’s meet at the same place you met me before?”Raising an eyebrow, Oliver asked, “That restaurant?”“Yes,” Ryan affirmed. “To be honest, I feel that someone has been monitoring me since I met you, and I know what they want—you.”Hearing those words, Oliver bit his lower lip. It was certain that Zayne already knew about his allying with Ryan.He didn’t even expect Zayne to gain information that fast; it made him want to believe that Zayne wasn’t doing things alone.His superior was also moving this time, so his plan already worked.But it’s not enough.“No need to worry about me. I can handle myself,” Oliver reassured, sensing the concern in Ryan’s voice. “He can’t do anything bad about me. I still have the thing he needed.”It was the necklace, and although Oliver didn’t know exactly how Zayne would use it for his gains, it was his current ace.“Still, you

    “You’ll need to sign this to unlock the fund, Oliver,” Blackwell explained quietly, his tone professional but oddly distant. “It’s that easy.”Oliver’s hand hovered over the folder, but he didn’t open it just yet. His instincts were screaming at him, and the air in the room felt suffocating.‘Why did Trisha need me to sign this now?’ Oliver asked, his brows furrowing. ‘What was she planning?’“I’ll need a moment,” Oliver said, his voice low. “I also need to personally check my account and see if I can withdraw from it or not.Trisha’s smile faltered just slightly, though she masked it quickly. “Sure. He could do it, right? Mr. Blackwell?”“You can, Mr. Hunt,” answered Richard with a professional smile. “And if you can’t withdraw from it, you can go back here and let’s talk for a little longer.”Oliver nodded, and without hesitation, he went outside the private office.Just to be sure, he went to the reception area and asked, “Is Rebecca Carter in the VIP room?”“No, Sir,” the receptio

    Oliver paused, and a few seconds later, he stood slowly.“Let’s go, then,” he said in a low tone.Trisha blinked, caught off guard. “You’ll come?”“I’ll come,” Oliver replied. “But not for you. I want to see who else is trying to get their hands on my money.”Upon hearing those words, Trisha suddenly froze in her spot. ‘For sure that I didn’t make my words be interpreted that way,’ Trisha said, biting her lower lip.‘But how did he come to that conclusion?’Trisha was about to ask that question, but before he could speak, Oliver beat her to it.“Aren’t you coming with me?” Oliver asked, his brows furrowing as he was ready to leave the cafe at any time.“Y-Yes,” Trisha answered, taking a deep breath. “Wait for me.”*****The bustling streets outside Umbrella Bank seemed distant as Oliver and Trisha walked in silence. Trisha’s high heels clicked against the pavement, creating more tension in the air. Oliver, on the other hand, kept his eyes ahead. His mind was sharp, processing every

    “That’s the spirit,” Denver said, giving her a short nod of approval. “Then we have a deal, Trisha. I’ll help you get what you want.” Just remember, when the time comes, I’ll expect you to return the favor,” he added, a menacing smirk creeping to his face. “We’ll be working together on this.”Trisha didn’t even hesitate. She held his gaze firmly, a smile tugging on her lips. “Deal.”Both of them extended their hands, shaking hands as if they were doing a business agreement.Then, as Denver got up to leave, he gave her one last look. “Oliver won’t know what hit him. We’ll make sure of that.”It gave Trisha a sense of fulfilment, although they aren’t executing their plan just yet. But she has a good feeling about this.“We will.” Trisha nodded. “And even though we’re not starting yet, thank you for the help, Denver.”Denver only nodded in response before walking away, leaving Trisha sitting in the dimly lit bar, her mind now working with a sense of certainty. She had her plan, and wi

    Denver leaned back, his posture relaxed but his eyes sharp. “I’ve just been hearing a lot about you, Trisha. Especially about what happened last night.” He grinned. “You’ve got quite a... complicated situation going on with Oliver. And he humiliated you? At the parking lot?”Trisha did her best not to look shocked as soon as Denver said those words. But her eyes blew it all away.At the same time, she wasn’t that surprised with how much Denver knew. He had too many eyes in different places. Basically, now that Zayne was gone, the town was practically his.“I know that you’re not interested in gossip, and it’s the same as mine,” Trisha scoffed, rolling her eyes. “So, stop beating around the bush and tell me what you want.”Trisha couldn’t hide the annoyance in her voice. She was in no mood for anyone to waste her time, especially now that she was thinking of a plan to bring Oliver down.Denver’s smirk grew wider, and he leaned forward slightly.“I know you, Trisha. You’re thinking of

    “You’re out of your mind if you think you still have any hold over him,” she said, her tone condescending. “And to be honest, I’m not afraid of you, or any tactics that you will use in the future.”Seraphine added, now her voice firm and laced with sincerity,“I’m not going to let you destroy what Oliver and I have, and the family we’re starting to build. So you can keep playing your little games, but it won’t work.” Seraphine’s voice was low and intimidating. “It’s over.”There was a brief, tense silence, and then Trisha’s voice was laced with anger. “You’re so naive, Seraphine.” Trisha chuckled sarcastically. “I’ll make sure you regret this. He’ll see the truth soon enough, that there are so many fish in the ocean, and she doesn’t need to stick with you. She added, “And when he does, you won’t even be a memory.”“Fishes?” Seraphine asked and laughed. She didn’t even bother to conceal it. “He’s not looking for fishes because Oliver is not a goddamn fisherman, Trisha. I’m not a fis

    Oliver nodded, understanding the unspoken weight of her words. He knew that she needed more time, and hopefully, this conversation would help her make a decision."Take your time," he said, his voice laced with sincerity. "But I’ll be here."“Thank you,” Seraphine replied, a small smile tugging on her lips as she held the strap of her bag. “That’s it. I’ll take the train back to the capital. I need to go back to Anastasia.”Oliver wanted her to stay, even just for a little bit, so they would be together. But at the same time, he understood her dilemma. Anastasia couldn’t be left alone.‘And if something bad happens to her while we’re not around, I don’t know if Seraphine could still take it,’ Oliver thought.So, he answered, “Alright. Take care, Sera.”Seraphine only nodded in response. Then, she stood up and left the café.Oliver couldn’t help but feel that things were still fragile between them. But now, at least, they were moving in the right direction.He knew that Seraphine still

    “I think I heard enough,” Oliver said, his jaw clenching. “I’ll send you my wife’s email address so you could email her, and maybe talk to her if she insists.”It was only a spare email, so he wouldn’t compromise Seraphine’s identity. And he didn’t know if this technique would be effective either.But he was willing to try everything if that meant gaining Seraphine’s forgiveness and trust again.“I’ll take care of Trisha. Don’t worry. It’s a deal.”Before Carolina could answer, Oliver had already ended the call.He already knows what to do next. With what happened earlier, it was more than enough for Trisha to behave.So, this time, he dialed Trisha’s number.Within a few seconds, she answered, as if she were already expecting this call.“That was too quick,” Trisha said on the other line, her tone smug. “Why? Did Seraphine already call you, tell you that you’re trash, and already break up with you, huh?”Oliver clenched his teeth, wanting to talk back. But he composed himself because

    Oliver was about to speak again, explaining more. But before he could even do that, Seraphine sighed heavily, the sound so weary it nearly broke him."I just… I can’t keep doing this, Oliver,” she muttered, her voice cracking. “I can't keep feeling like I’m going to be blindsided every time you walk out the door.”She added, “I trusted you. God knows I still do. But… I don’t know how to process these things.” Her voice was pained, and it hit Oliver like a physical blow.“Seraphine, please—”“I need time,” Seraphine said quietly, halting Oliver from finishing his sentence. “I need space to think. I don’t know if I can keep trusting you right now.”And before Oliver could explain, Seraphine had ended the call.Oliver stood in the middle of his room, his hand gripping the phone tightly, staring at the empty screen. It felt like the world had just tilted under his feet.For a moment, he didn’t know what to do, or even where to begin to fix this.All he knew was that he couldn’t let it en

    Seraphine’s phone buzzed on the side table, and she barely glanced at it.However, something about the unfamiliar number flashing on the screen made her frown.Curious, she reached for it and unlocked it. Seraphine suddenly forgot how to breathe for a moment upon seeing the picture sent to her.Staring back at her was a picture, and although it was a blurry one, something was unmistakable. Oliver was in the picture with a woman.A woman pressing her lips to his. And it was just not any other woman.It was Trisha.“Shit… What is…” Seraphine trailed off, not even able to finish her sentence as her heart twisted painfully. “What the hell is this…”Her fingers gripped the phone tightly without realizing it, her knuckles whitening.But that wasn’t all. A few seconds later, Seraphine received another message.[You really think he’s loyal to you? Think again, Seraphine. You’re not the only woman in the world.]Seraphine’s mind blanked for a moment.“No…” she whispered aloud, the word falling
