The following morning, Kenny arrived at the company very early. Everything had now calmed down after the shocking press conference the day before.He walked straight to his office. The place felt familiar but also strange after being away for so long. He sat down in his chair and turned on his computer.He started going through the emails that had piled up over the past eight months. Most of them were work-related, and some were from people asking about his sudden disappearance.As he was reading, there was a knock on the door. Without looking up, Kenny said, “Come in.”The door opened, and Harrison walked in with a calm face, but there was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes. He walked slowly and sat down across from Kenny.Kenny looked at him, a bit surprised to see him there so soon.Harrison gave a small smile and said, “I just wanted to say that I’m really sorry for everything you went through, Kenny. It must have been very hard.”Kenny nodded slightly and replied, “Thank you, Harri
Inside the car, Kenny, Rayan, and Zeres were all happy and relaxed after visiting the old couple, and what made everything so amazing was the fact that the old couple agreed to move to the new house in the city.“I’m glad they agreed to move to the city,” Zeres said with a smile.“Me too, ” Kenny replied.“They will enjoy the city life, in a safer and more secure place, and that their garden will look even better in their new place,” Rayan added. Kenny dropped Zeres and Rayan home, waved goodbye, and then drove off, heading straight to the old mansion to see his grandfather.He wanted to check on his grandfather and talk to him about Sophia and the child he thought was his great-grandchild.When Kenny arrived, he opened the door and walked in, and what he saw made him freeze for a second.The old man was sitting in the living room, holding a cup of tea in one hand while dancing and swaying side to side to the music playing from the speakers. He looked so happy, moving his shoulders
“This is for you,” Kenny said softly.The old man took the papers with shaky hands, his eyes opening wide as he read them. The old woman leaned over his shoulder to look. “A house in the city?”“Yes..It’s your house now. A safe, comfortable home in the city.” Kenny replied with a nod.The couple looked shocked. “No, no,” the old man said quickly, shaking his head. “We cannot accept this. It is too much.”“Yes, we can’t take such a big gift,” the old woman added, her voice full of worry.Rayan stood up and walked over to the old woman. He gently hugged her, smiling kindly. “Please, grandma, accept it,” Rayan said. “This is a gift from Kenny, from his heart. He wouldn’t feel happy if you say no to it.”The old man still looked unsure, glancing at his wife for guidance, but the old woman was still hesitant. She looked at the papers again and then back at them.“Boys, it’s not that we’re ungrateful,” she said carefully. “We are just worried about my safety. The city is so different from
Back at the old mansion, the old man sat in his study, still feeling overwhelmed by everything that had happened that day. His hands were still shaking from the excitement. He picked up the phone and called his old friend who was living abroad.When his friend answered the call, the old man’s voice was full of excitement.“My friend, you won’t believe what just happened!” he said, his voice trembling.“What happened?” his friend asked, sounding curious.“Kenny is back!” the old man said loudly, almost shouting from happiness. “He is alive! He came back today, right before they announced the new president at the company.”His friend let out a small laugh and said calmly, “I knew he would come back. I told you before, didn’t I? Kenny isn’t the type to give up easily.”The old man smiled, his eyes filled with tears. “You were right. I feel like I am dreaming right now, I still can’t believe it even now.”His friend chuckled softly. “Tell me, what happened to him? Where has he been all t
Kenny and Rayan left the house quietly. They had agreed that they would pick Zeres on the way to the old couple's house. Downstairs, they didn’t see Sophia in the living room.Kenny glanced around and said to Rayan, “She must be in the guest bedroom where she sleeps.”Rayan nodded in agreement.Upstairs, inside the guest bedroom, Sophia sat on the bed, her hands holding her phone tightly. She looked confused, and she was shaking from everything that had happened. Her mind was in a total mess. Kenny's mother made him believe for sure that Kenny was gone forever, but now he was back and alive.She stared at her phone and was about to call Kenny’s mother when suddenly there was a knock at the door. She hesitated for a moment, thinking that it might be Kenny. She had no courage to face him, especially with the pregnancy. She thought the pregnancy would help her get everything she wanted, but it ruined everything. Now she gets hatred towards it, and she wishes she had never gotten pregna
Kenny’s face turned serious. “No,” he said in a cold, steady voice. “Keep your baby. It’s your responsibility. But I still want a divorce.”Sophia burst into louder sobs, but Kenny didn’t change his mind. He stood up and walked away, leaving her crying alone on the floor.Without looking back, Kenny walked upstairs into his study and sat down. He was lucky that he had left it locked sbd no one could access the biometric door. All the things were just the same way he left them eight months ago. He took his phone and called Rayan, who was still waiting for him in the car outside.“Come to the study, please,” Kenny said calmly.Rayan didn’t ask questions, he got out of the car and walked into the house. The moment he stepped foot into the house, he saw Sophia crying on the floor in the living room.He wasn’t surprised, he already guessed that there was something had happened between her and Kenny. Without saying a word to her, Rayan passed by and went straight upstairs. He entered the s
