★★★★★★KatherineI dialed his number as I hid behind his car, looking around with wary eyes. I did try to sit inside the car but the car was locked. So I had to wait here.I called him a couple of times, but he did not pick up my call even once, which doubled my worries because I did not know when they would find me and take me with them.I frustratingly put the phone back in my bag and slowly managed to peek towards the entrance of the parking lot because I heard some footsteps.My heartbeat became faster as my breath became ragged. No matter how much I tried to calm my heart, pressing my hands, it was racing even harder because of fear. Finding no one I retrieved my steps behind when suddenly my back hit something hard.I then realized that the goon was standing right behind me. I clenched my fists tightly and was ready to turn around and blow his face. But as soon as I turned my hand along with my body, the man caught my hand in the air.But he wasn't just any goon, but him. The fe
★★★★★Katherine"Have you seen his family?" I took the initiative to ask after a brief pause."He came there with his aunt and left with her. I did not ask him much at that time," he replied with a tone that displayed his eagerness to talk to the boy, which was making me even more stressed because I never wanted Liam to meet this guy." if you take my opinion, You shouldn't talk to that boy," I sharply said, and In response,, he gave me a sharp look.I continued, "Because of you, I am slowly getting into trouble. I had seen blood and a dead body. Believe it or not, I still haven't forgotten that thing. It became the unforgettable nightmare of my life. I could not tell how much trouble you will put him in by talking to him?" I agreed my words were cruel but every word I said was brimming with reality.As soon as my words hit the ground, he suddenly braked the car, making a loud noise as the tire scraped hard against the road. Since I was not wearing a seat belt, when the car suddenly h
★★★★★Zac BratvaAs soon as I hit the bed I felt a strong, tearing anger in me. I dialed Filip and growled over the phone, "How could it take you so long to find out such a small thing?""There is a bad news!" Filip said. "Like what?" "We caught that man, but he killed himself before we could proceed with questioning. He had a small poison bulb in his teeth and as soon as he crushed it with his teeth, he died instantly," Filip answered. "He's dead, but the man who sent him isn't, and I want you to tell me his name before tonight is over," I yelled over the phone."You have too many enemies. It will be impossible to find who sent those people because everyone is sending someone against you to kill you," Filip said."You mean to say that it would be hard for me to find out about someone," I asked. "No, boss. What I mean to say is even if we come to know about this, it is possible that the information is Fabricated. Someone is going to deceive us," Filip said. I stood up from bed an
★★★★★KatherineI could not believe such a man existed. I spent so much time preparing for this party where he would be the guest of honor, and I would be the no one; yet he couldn't say a few nice words to me. Apart from that, he told me that I was wasting time. I mean seriously. If I had the power, I would have killed this man in so many ways. As my thoughts swirled into my mind, he continued his driving without talking with me. At first, I thought that the more he remained silent, the better it would be, but then I started to feel that something was wrong."Are you feeling nervous?" I shifted my head to him."Why would I feel nervous? This is not the first party I am attending," I answered, his voice filled with tease."Yes, I know, this is not the first party for you but I can say that this is different from any other party," I said, and cast my eyes on my nails."I would like to know why you think that!?" He asked; his gaze stayed on me for a few seconds before it returned bac
★★★★★Katherine I removed my gaze from him and let them roam around the venue. I could not quite count the amount of eyes on me. I felt as if I was some historical treasure that had just been unearthed from the ground.Then I noticed the gigantic hall shimmered beneath a canopy of crystal chandeliers, each one spilling Golden light over the room like liquid sunlight.A symphony played softly in the corner- violins and cellos waving an elegant tapestry of sound that wrapped itself around every guest. The music made me recall my conversation with Liz who took Liam to a piano artist. Since Liam knew how to play the piano, he momentarily forgot about me, otherwise, I had to go to him. I didn't know what was happening to my life; neither was I able to give time to my child nor to myself; on top of that, this man was dragging me to every place.My purpose in returning to this town was to get the insurance money, but now I felt like I no longer required the money; instead, a chance- a cha
★★★★★KatherineI was so desperate to know that truth. My anxiety was growing more and more with every passing second. I had stolen the hair from his bathroom but I was not able to push myself to go for the DNA test of his and Liam’s. I was scared, but it seemed I could not stay away from the truth anymore."I am Zac's uncle. What your father does, Miss...?" The man asked me, And I was just looking at him with dazed eyes while my thoughts were wandering somewhere far away."Katherine... and her father used to be a cooperative employer," the woman said with a haughty tone. I could see myself being poor in her eyes, and somewhere in her voice also, there was mockery towards me."What? You must be kidding..." The man's voice went a little lower as his eyes scanned me with horror before it turned into disgust. Then the gaze shifted to his nephew.Though he did not express it in words, it could be seen in his eyes how his nephew could do this by linking himself with a girl like me and pro
★★★★★Katherine"How dare you?" I glared at the man as I pushed his hand away from me and he let go of my waist without bickering, but he though had a creepy smile lingering on his face."Don't think that I cannot do anything with you just because I'm a woman and you are someone who is well accustomed to this environment," I warned him, challenging the overconfident smug on his face. But that man was disgustingly stubborn and still staring at me with this look."I am Zac's brother... cousin brother," he said, "Anything Zac owns, I always feel envious of it. Just like seeing you walking in hand in hand with him," he said. Simultaneously, he withdrew his creepy smile, "You are gorgeous, and I can't stop myself from admiring your beauty. Hmmm… I can see why my crazy brother does not mind showing you to the whole world.""So! You have come to deliver this news to me or you want me to see the potential in your brother," I snapped, my voice was cold. In response, he laughed, "I was not prep
★★★★ Katherine "Don't you think brother's choice is very decent? Apart from this, hardly any normal girl can imagine the price of this dress. You know only one of these dresses was made, and still no model has worn it on the ramp. I wanted to buy it. But the designer told me that someone had bought it before me, and he refused to make the same dress for me even though I offered to pay him handsomely," Stephanie spoke, her gaze going lower, gazing at my dress. I could easily tell that she had her eye on this dress and yet whatever she had said didn't seem like a lie at all. "Is there any reason behind why you are telling me all this? Because if I tell the truth, I did not put that much concern into this dress," I replied to her, and she looked up at my face; a smile flashed on her countenance. I had a doubt that there was not a single normal person in this family. Their aura, attitude, and the way they looked at others... Huh, they must have thought themselves superior to God. "
★★★★★"What are you doing?" The doctor who had earlier treated Liam had now been threatened at gunpoint. "You have two beautiful kids and a lovely wife, right?" Jacky asked with a dangerous tone as if it was not just a question he asked feather he wanted the doctor to recall his family's faces."What do you want to say?" The doctor's voice trembled."Answer what I asked? Jacky said, raising his legs on the desk in front of the doctor, who was looking between the nozzle of the gun and the man in front of him."Yes, I have. But I do not understand your intention. What do you want to say?" Said the doctor with a fearful tone. He had recognized Jacky very well, but sitting in front of him with a gun pointed at him and asking such questions was confusing him as to what wrong he had done?"You just have to do a small job for me. Although it is small, you will be a little scared to hear it, and its consequence can also scare you, but you have to do it," Jacky said, taking his feet off the t
★★★★★"What?" Katherine interrupted, her eyes went bigger in horror, " You must be joking," Katherine glared at Zac, "You dare to think a DNA test with my son. Who gave you the right to do it!? I am his mother, and I prohibit any experiment with my son; he is not going to do any DNA test.”"Don't make a scene at the hospital. You know well, you cannot stop me, I mean nothing can stop me," Zac announced, widening his eyes. The tone he used left no one to think his decision could be swayed by any threat.Katherine's lips parted, but no words came out. Although she wanted to fight with him, she understood that the more she fought, the further the situation would escalate. It could also have happened that this thing became this man's obsession.Meanwhile, Zac, announcing his decision, made his way toward the end of the floor. Not many wards were seen on that floor, as if the hospital staff deliberately separated Liam from the rest of the patients. The obvious reason was that he was Zac's
★★★★"Bastard, you have cast your ominous shadow upon that child. How dare you provoke him to meet you, then take the opportunity and harm him? What crime did he commit that you are thinking of giving him such a severe punishment?" Jacky shouted at Zac, grabbing his collar. He tightened his fist again to give Zac another blow, but this time, Jacky could not do that.Because his fist was grabbed by Zac, and he sent a blow right to Jacky's face, causing his nose to bleed as Jacky staggered back."And how much harm do you intend to cause?" Katherine shouted at Zac, approaching him with tear-filled Eyes. Ever since she met this man, all she saw in her life was ruin and misery."Miss Catherine Boss has no hand in all this, nor did she want to see anything like this happen with Liam, believe me, just this incident!" Carlo tried to calm Katherine down by telling her the truth, but Katherine sharply shifted her attention toward Carlo, giving him a menacing look before turning back at Zac, thr
★★★★★"What do you want me to do? There is nothing I can do to change the truth. Besides, there are similarities between them. The other day, Juliana was talking about that. I mean if one could see them both, they would have raised the same question," Said Jacky, brushing his hair back with the help of his fingers. His frustration was evident."I know there is nothing you can do about it, but I am desperate to get help," said Katherine as she let out a long sigh. There was sadness and fear that settled together in her gaze. Seeing that, Jacky extended his hand, touching Katherine's shoulder, who bit her lower lip to stop herself from crying."KAT," He paused, his palm reaching for her cheek to soothe her tension, but his intention was quickly brought to a halt by a call on his phone.His hand paused in the air, and he then clenched his hand into a fist before withdrawing it from Katherine's face. A silent anger brushed past his eyes.He took the phone out of his pocket and saw Liz's n
★★★★Meanwhile, Liam and Zac were enjoying the golf, which Zac took the initiative to teach Liam.Although his mind was urging him to speak out about the truth to Liam and pull him to his chest in a hug, he wanted to live some moments like this. Once Liam became aware of the truth, he would have a lot of questions in his heart."I must say this is a very interesting game, but hard too.. It takes a lot of practice to be so smooth like you," said Liam, wrapping his fingers tightly around the golf stick."At your age, I had hardly been to a golf field. Now, all you need to do is focus. First, hold your attention on the ball since you are going to hit that, and then take your focus to the point. Furthermore, relax your body," Zac said next to Liam's ear as he too bent forward at Liam's height with his body covered by him as Zac placed his big hands on Liam's."I am nervous!" Liam muttered as he looked toward the far end, focusing. The point where he wanted to shoot the ball. He exhaled as
★★★★★Katherine wiped her tears away and stepped out of the car. Her feet wobbled as she grabbed hold of the edge of the door. She recalled her bag falling from her shoulder outside the office. Suddenly, she heard Cesar shouting, "Who are you, bastard?"Such a sentence drew her attention, and she realized Zac was not there but rather someone else. The realization caused further fear in her, and she dragged her feet toward the hood of the car. She watched Cesar was slammed against the car with a kick from Jacky. A surprise struck her face, and for a second, she forgot to move; hence, when Cesar rushed toward Jacky with a knife in his hand, Katherine panicked.She shouted, "Jacky, watch out!" But then she saw Jacky bringing out a gun from his waist. She could hardly ever have thought of seeing a gun in Jacky's possession.Before she could adjust her mind to the scenario, she saw Jacky pull the trigger of the gun, and the bullet hit Cesar directly in the arm, spattering blood on the hood
★★★★Katherine gave Cesar a disgusted look and spat, "You are the last person I will think of getting help. I will find him by myself!" Katherine began walking, brushing past Cesar who narrowed his eyes as he glared strongly at Katherine. He did not know anything about Zac's whereabouts nor did he need to know about him. His only intention was to take Catherine with him." I said I know where my brother is; hence, you have to listen to me," said Cesar, gabbing Katherine by her arm, who hissed since the grip of his was causing pain in her skin."You are hurting me. How dare you touch me?" Snapping at Cesar, Katherine tried to jerk her hand off from his grip, but she failed to do that. Cesar, meanwhile, gave Katherine a triumphant look and uttered, "It's time for that bastard to pay back to our family. But I am going to enjoy your company first since I want to see what has made my brother so infatuated." "You, jerk, let go of my hand," Katherine yelled at Cesar as she looked around to
★★★★"Well, I have a fantastic, hardworking, and pretty mother," Liam answered Zac with a huge smile on his face. "She takes care of me well, but she has a bad habit of taking too much stress even on small matters.""Your father. Are you not going to address his special qualities?" Said Zac with eagerness in his voice to know why Liam had nothing to say about his father."I don't have a father," Liam said, keeping his gaze on Zac as he did not let the disappointment rise in his eyes. "My mother said he left us before I was born. Hence, I have never thought of him or added him as a part of the family."The subtle change on Zac's face after hearing Liam's answer was quite astonishing as if he felt deep within what Liam held himself from expressing.He lightly patted Liam on the shoulder and replied, "What kind of game do you like to play?" He shifted the conversation, and this change also relaxed Liam, who could be seen exhaling. He did not usually talk about his father to his mother; h
★★★★★ "Liz, where can he go? He knows no one in the city. What would happen if someone kidnapped him or ....!?" Katherine felt her heart squeezed by a big palm as she thought of the possibility that could take place with her baby boy, who was wandering alone on the road. "Quit thinking worse, Kat. I am stressed, too, but your words are killing my patience, and I can not think of anything rational," Liz grumbled angrily because she, too, was frustrated over Liam's absence. She paced back and forth while her cell phone was tightly clutched in her palm, thinking of calling someone who could help them with the situation. "How could I stay calm, Liz?" Katherine shouted, clutching her hair tightly in between her fingers. The tension almost reached her eyes, making them misty. " where can he go? I don't understand why he thought of leaving in this way." "Kat, There is something I didn't mention to you," Liz said as she bit her lower lip. She didn't think she would have to tell Kather
