Approximately one hour ago.When Kenny, Sophia, and Kata left the house to go to the registration office, Kenny’s mother stood quietly at the front door, as her eyes followed the car as it drove slowly out of the compound and through the gates. She kept watching it until it disappeared from sight. Her face was calm, but her eyes looked sharp as if she was thinking deeply about something. As soon as the car turned the corner and disappeared down the road, she quickly closed the door and locked it behind her. Then she turned and rushed up the stairs with fast steps, holding the side of the wall for balance.Inside the study, Zeres and Rayan could hear her heels tapping loudly on the wooden staircase, and she moved quickly through the corridor upstairs."I think someone remained here," Zeres whispered.Rayan nodded." I think it is Kenny's mother, it must be her." When she got to the corridor upstairs, she looked around to make sure no one was watching, then reached for her phone
Kenny sat quietly in his wheelchair for a few more seconds after speaking to his mother and Sophia. He looked at both of them with serious eyes, as if what he was about to say next was even more important than what he had just shared.He slowly turned his head toward Sophia, and after a short pause, he spoke.“Sophia,” he said, his voice low but steady. “I still want us to get married. That hasn’t changed.”Sophia looked at him in surprise. Her eyes widened. “You do?” she asked softly.Kenny nodded. “Yes, I still want to go ahead with the marriage. It’s important for both of us. You are a nice woman and we need to get the company from my grandfather. That was the whole reason we agreed on this from the beginning. Nothing has changed.”Sophia blinked slowly, taking in his words. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say. She had been unsure after he left the wedding venue that day. Part of her thought he had changed his mind. But now, hearing him say it so clearly, it brought some rel
After leaving the old mansion, Kenny drove straight home, his life. He still has his face hidden and from his way if dressing no one could tell that it was him. He wanted to act as soon as he could so that he could get the antidote.From the outside, it looked like he had everything under control, but deep down, he knew he had to be extra careful. One wrong move, and everything could fall apart.When he entered the house, he found Rayan and Zeres still seated in the living room, talking in low voices. They stopped talking the moment they saw him walk in.“You’re back,” Zeres said, standing up.“Yes,” Kenny replied, putting down his car keys on the table. “I went to see my grandfather. We talked and he understands the plan now.”Rayan nodded. “That’s good. At least you have someone older who supports you.”Kenny sighed and looked at both of them. “Listen, I’m going to meet Sophia this afternoon.”Zeres raised an eyebrow. “Already?”“Yes,” Kenny replied, “but I want it to look like I
“Now tell me everything,” he said firmly. “I don’t want you to hide anything from me. Not even a single word. I need to know what’s really going on, Kenny.”Kenny nodded slowly. He looked down at his hands, then back at his grandfather. He had been holding all of this inside for so long. It felt like a heavy weight pressing down on his chest. He had tried to be strong, to carry it alone, but now it was time to let it out.“I know you already found out about my marriage,” Kenny began in a low voice. “And about the divorce.”Zack gave a slow nod. “Yes, I heard about it. I didn’t understand it, though. I thought something was strange about it.”Kenny sighed. “It wasn’t just strange, it was painful. I didn’t want to divorce her, Grandpa. I loved her and I still love her every day.”Zack looked surprised, his eyes softening. “Then why did you let her go?”Kenny’s voice shook a little. “Because I had no choice. Natasha was poisoned and it was my fault. They wanted to punish me, to hurt me t
Kenny gave a small smile. “Yes, I will talk to someone at the base to give him the special training , he needs the skills as soon as now. Toni risked everything to help me escape. That man would have done anything to keep me locked up. Maybe even kill me.”Zeres looked down for a moment, then nodded. “You’re right. We all owe him.”Kenny continued, “I don’t want him to get caught in the middle of this mess. His father is the one causing all the problems and Toni is just trying to get justice for his mother. If it ever comes down to it, I’ll do whatever I must to keep him safe.”After getting some rest, Kenny picked up his phone and called Rayan.“Hey, can you come over?” Kenny asked.“Yeah, I’ll be there soon,” Rayan replied without hesitation.Kenny ended the call and turned to Zeres, who was sitting on the couch in the living room.“Rayan is on his way,” Kenny said. “But I need to go see my grandfather quickly. I won’t take long. I’ll be back as soon as I am done with him.”Zeres
Moments later, the private jet finally landed on the private airstrip. Kenny and Zeres stepped off the plane, wearing dark hoodies and sunglasses to hide their faces. They looked around carefully, making sure no one was watching. The airstrip was selected specially so that no media or spies could find out that Kenny was back in the country because the news about him will resurface again, something he didn't want to happen.A car was already waiting for them at the edge of the airstrip and as soon as he saw them approaching, he stepped out and opened the back door for them. Kenny gave him a small nod, then said calmly, “Take us to the mansion.”The driver nodded without a word and got back behind the wheel. Kenny and Zeres climbed into the back seat. As they drove off, Kenny leaned his head back against the seat, closing his eyes for a moment, just thinking about everything that had happened in the span of 72 hours.At the moment, he felt a little relaxed because he had seen Natas
