โTHOMAS Bellinghamโs group!โAs soon as the host announced the first place, everyone clapped for them. However, in their minds, they were confused that none of the most influential peopleโ Bruce and August, to be specificโ won the hackathon event.All of them thought that there would be fraud in the event, but judging by the results, the organizers managed to make the competition fair and square, after all.Everyone was smiling except for Bruce. His eyes widened, and his lips parted as he heard that the host didnโt mention his group as the winner.โWhy?!โ Bruce stood up and exclaimed, which made everyone look at him, including August who doesnโt have any cocky smile on his lips. Rather, he was confused as him, too.Bruce didnโt bother explaining why he shouted. He just sat again on his seat and clutched onto the tablecloth to contain his emotions. The host cleared her throat before the awarding continued as if nothing happened at all.โIt should be me! I should be the winner of this

โSIR WESLEY,โ Jake greeted on the other line.He stood up from the couch and gave Nicole a deadly glance before he went onto their terrace to hear Wesley properly. โIโm sorry for what happened. I didnโt know why the hackathon event led to such ridiculous results?โโRidiculous?โ asked Wesley as he laughed sarcastically on the other line. โGeo Saundler removed all the manipulations coming from our family for the competition to be fair and square.โโWhat?โ The tip of Jakeโs brows pressed hard as he heard what Wesley said. โAugust won that competition without any manipulations?โโHe did.โJake wasnโt able to speak for a moment. A hint of envy and annoyance became evident in his expression. Suddenly, he became envious that August, who was once in their company, became popular and valuable in a span of months.He realized that if only he didnโt mess up with Bruce, or the other way around, he could have used his talents to make the Sandoval Corporation prosper.โTrance,โ Jake called his most

AS WESLEY clicked something on his phone, a video suddenly played. Jake doesnโt need to look at it anymore as he could recognize the voices in the video.He could even recognize the scene, and it was the viral video that appeared at the annual awarding before.With that, Jake remembered the time when he called Bruce to take down the video. He wanted to be free from the Wellington familyโs grip, but because of Bruce, he needed to beg again.โMy child is an imbecile. I should've disciplined him better,โ said Jake as he tried making his voice sound stable, but failed. His voice cracked, and the only thing he could do was bit his lower lip because he had been lowering his pride too much.โNo. I think heโs a good man,โ Wesley answered on the other line, smirking. โI like the fact that he beat that August to death.โWesley hated everyone in the Remington family, and no matter who they were, even if they were just mere employees, a maid, or really a part of the Remington family, heโll alway

โNONSENSE.โThat was the only word that came to Augustโs mind as he heard Bruceโs statement. Bruce already left him as he went into his own car. However, he thought that everything he said was pure bluffing since he was not that popular in the industry already.And maybe, it really does.A month later, August had risen to the top more than he could ever imagine. No one doesnโt know him now. Aside from being a key employee in the Remington corporation, Charlesโ also allowed him to create his special team under the strategy department.With new inventions to manufacture, and with new ideas that made the company prosper, August had partnered with different subsidiaries with Charlesโ help, including Johnson Gaming with Harvey.In fact, Harvey and August were together today in the Remington Corporation building to sign their agreement on their partnership. There were only a few reporters inside, and some employees from the Remington Corporation.Since August took care of some of the busin

THE SHOCK was an understatement for what Samantha had felt as she heard Augustโs statement. โW-Whatโฆโ she trailed off, not knowing what to say, and not knowing how to react as she saw how cruel August was to her.Of all people, she never expected August to treat her that way. She had always felt like a princess in his arms before, but now, heโs acting indifferent, and thereโs no way she would accept that!โWhat are you talking about, August?โ Samantha stomped his feet in anger and pulled August by the arm. โYou know me! You know me more than anyone else! Why are you being so indifferent after what happened to us?!โโI should be the one asking you thatโฆโ August forcefully removed Samanthaโs hand gripping on his. โWhy are you being so indifferent after what happened to us?โThe same statement, different emotions. Samantha sounded mad and frustrated, while August sounded hurt and disappointed. August wanted to just let it go, but he couldnโt help but askโฆ how blinded he was before to l

SAMANTHA almost froze when she heard what Bruce said. She doesnโt want to give any of his words a hidden meaning, but she couldnโt help it, especially when she saw how the side of Bruceโs lips rose while staring at her.โSurprised?โ he asked confidently. โDonโt cry too hard, Samantha. I didn't even say anything, yet you started crying right away.โโI-Iโm sorryโโโItโs fine,โ said Bruce as he pulled Samantha into a hug. โWe do that sometimes. We do bad things, and sometimes, hide things to survive.โBruce wasnโt oblivious to it. In fact, he knew everything before he proposed to Samantha. She isnโt a real Evergreen, and she wasnโt even legally adopted by the Evergreen family. It means that sheโs even poorer than August.However, Samantha did something that would protect her reputation. She manipulated the documents in secret, made herself the legal child of the Evergreen family, and made Myra the adopted one.Myra found out about it, but it was too late.

A DAY had passed, and it was already seven o’clock in the morning. This is a special day for the Remington family, so August called Daphne to help him pick the best suit and style he could wear.He was wearing a three-piece suit with a silver and white color on it. His hair was parted to the left, and although he couldn’t see it himself, Daphne had admiration in her eyes while watching her great creation.“I look good now, right?” asked August as he fixed his tie again, although it was already fixed.Daphne nodded in response. August had been asking her that question since earlier.August didn’t understand why his heart was beating so fast. He was nervous.

AT A SECOND, August didn’t know what to do. He held tightly onto the steering wheel and the gear lever, but he had mixed emotions about his actions.He was torn between going to the hidden villa or on the building to help Sapphire.Sapphire said it was chaotic, but as he saw the situation in the place by the broadcasters’ live stream, August thought it would be an understatement.It was not just the police looking for him, but there was a rally as well.The rallyists wanted August to step down from his position for being an abusive ex-boyfriend and a manipulator who made everyone believe that he was a good person.“God…”

TWO YEARS LATERโฆThe waves on the water splash on the yacht where August was standing right now. Both his hands were holding onto the rail as his gaze fixated on the sunset in front of him. It was beautiful, ethereal, and breathtakingโฆ Just like the woman who was walking toward him.โAugust,โ Daphne called her as she gave her husband a fruit shake. โYouโve been there for an hour already. Would you want to spend this day with fish than me?โ she asked, pretending to be pissed as her lips curved into a smile.โNo need to be jealous of nature, my dear wife. I just want to appreciate how beautiful the sunset was.โAugust laughed, pulling Daphne gently closer to him using his other hand. Now, both of them were staring at the sunset with genuine smiles plastered onto their faces. Augustโs hand was resting on Daphneโs waist, while the latter had her head leaned on her husbandโs shoulder.A year ago, both of them got remarried, for real this time. At that moment, both of them couldnโt help bu

COUPLE DAYS later, August was able to heal from the beating he had endured when Raquel took him down. He was now as good as hell, and he could now work tirelessly to catch up with all of the deadlines and meetings he had neglected while he was at rest. Fortunately, the press, with a lot of help from Daphne, didnโt know a thing about what happened to August, or else he would be bombarded by the press in front of the Remington Corporation. However, it would not be for long, as something grand would happen now. August had been waiting for this dayโThe day when the final showdown begins. This day had come down to this moment, where the tables would turn, and justice would finally be served. This time, August made sure that Francis would not be able to run away from his crimes, nor frame someone up to escape from it. Inside Augustโs office, all of his allies, Daphne, Sapphire, and Maxine, were inside the room. The air was thick with tension as they were looking at the wall clock from ti

RAQUEL, at that moment, was too stunned to speak. Shivers sent down his spine as the unexpected news lingered in his mind. His shoulder was aching because of the pain, but suddenly, it became numb as the pain struck his heart.โW-What?โ Raquel asked, blinking his eyes twice. โAre youโฆ fooling me?โโNoโฆ Itโs the truth.โ Sapphire shook her head, the pain registering through her rounded, brown eyes. โWeโre Maxineโs childrenโHer lost twins.โโBut how?โ Raquelโs brows furrowed in confusion and annoyance at the same time. โIf she is my brother, and youโre my twin, and you knew everything about itโฆ Then why didnโt you approach me?โโMaxine only knew it recently, the same as mine.โ Sapphire heaved a sigh and bit her lower lip afterward to contain her emotions.After a few seconds, she spoke again.โAugust informed me recently by giving the birth certificates Master Charles hid in his cabinet. It turns out that Maxine didnโt want to know us at that time because of the complexity of her jobโฆ Sh

AUGUST WAS in a daze when he woke up from his not-so-peaceful slumber. He didnโt wake up naturally, but he woke up when someone poured him cold water placed in a bucket, causing August to jolt in shockโฆ Only to realize that he was tied to the chair.Same situation. Same abandoned room.Shivers sent down his spine because of the uncanny coincidence both of the situations had.โFucking shit. This is dรฉjร vu,โ said August at the back of his mind when he realized that this is where everything startedโWhen Charles had his people take him so he could have a one-on-one talk with August about being a pretend heir.However, the only difference between the event before and now, is that the person in front of him looked like he was eager to kill him in an instant, but he was just taking his time to do it.โR-Raquelโฆโ August mumbled, slightly stammering, as his gaze fixated on Raquel.โHowโs your sleep, August?โ Raquel threw the silver bucket on the floor in force while wearing his most sardonic

However, a few seconds had passed, and he still read the same name.โH-Howโฆโ August was at a loss for words. It wasnโt something that he expected. He almost thought that it was Francis, but turns out that the lead scientist is Richard, the Wellington familyโs original heir.โAre thereโโโGreetings, Sir August.โAugust was about to ask the lead engineer if he found more documents other than the white folder he was holding now, but his words went midway as three cleaners who were wearing personal protective equipment suddenly bowed in front of him.โOne of your employees called us to clean this room,โ one of the cleaners said as she glanced at the mess August made earlier.โA-Ah.

TWO WEEKS LATER, the event about Bruce being confined to the Remington Mental Hospital scattered around the country. According to the doctors, Bruce was diagnosed with Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and he would need long-term medication and treatment to heal.While some people sympathized with Bruce for it, some people say that it was karma because of what he had done to August.However, August didnโt care what those people think about now. He had workโA bunch of themโAnd it was never-ending.It was already one oโclock in the morning as August had finished meeting with the different departments, and reviewing business proposals.

The police said that they were investigating thoroughly about this matter and that they will preserve results with fairness and no biasesโโBefore the reporter could finish her sentence, August already took the remote and turned the television. Daphne, who was immersed in watching the news, jolted in shock as she turned around, only to see August smiling at her.โIโm home,โ said August in a sweet tone as he extended both his arms, asking for a hug.Daphne couldnโt help but laugh a little. She went toward August and wrapped him in her embrace. โHow was it? What happened to Samantha?โ she asked in curiosity.โI think Samantha and Bruce divorcedโฆ But Iโm not yet sure.โ August caressed Daphneโs hair lightly and gently pushed her head more onto his chest. โStop watching the news, okay?

โWHERE DID you go? Why do you look like shit?โ Nicole asked as Bruce went inside the room, all his clothes were soaked because of the rain. โTake a bath first before you go to the dining table. You know that your father didnโt like seeing you like that,โ she added, shaking her head. โYes, Mother.โ Bruce nodded as he was tired to explain everything. He went to the bathroom to fix himself. Bruce wore a simple white shirt and sweatpants before he went to the dining table, joining Nicole and Jake for their late dinner. Samantha was already out of the picture as his parents were also informed of what she did earlier. However, they werenโt aware that Bruce felt hurt because of the same reason. โDid you chase that bitch away?โ Jake asked while they were eating. โY-Yes, Father.โ โThatโs good,โ Jake commented, and Bruce only smiled subtly in response. Bruce ate his steak, but because of his stomach churning and his heart thumping rapidly, he felt like that piece of steak was hard to sw

If not only for the table in front of her, she might be sitting on the floor now. โThis isnโt what we have talked aboutโฆโโI know,โ August said, and Samantha didnโt notice that he was just done talking to someone on the phone. โThatโs why it is called betrayal.
