Rise of Power: Return of The Pathetic Commonerย ย ย Chapter 137: Who's My Visitor?
THE TWO months passed like it was a blow in the wind. It was already August’s eighth month in prison, and fortunately, since he didn’t have any violations, the blackbell prison management let him apply for parole.“We’ll update you about the results as soon as possible,” said the prison guard as he took the document August filled up earlier.August only nodded in response. He was nervous, but he didn’t let it show. The parole application was his only ticket to escape this place— at least for now. He might have enjoyed having a good time with some of the prisoners here, but August knew that he couldn’t stay.He should move now while he still has the chance.“Nice one, August!”

“WHAT ARE you doing here?” asked August, clenching his fists.The annoyance suddenly consumed him as Bruce Sandoval greeted him with his cocky smile and mocking gaze. Bruce even whistled and chuckled a bit when he saw how angry August was even if he wasn’t doing anything.At least not yet.“Aren’t you greeting me first?” Bruce shook his head. He moved his chair to face August as he crossed his arms. The expression in his eyes was full of arrogance. “I pulled some strings to visit you here. And this is what I get?”The annoying laughter almost wanted August to run onto Bruce and punch him hard to the point he wouldn’t be able to show his face to anyone, not even his family. Bruce is the only one who could make his bloo

FROZEN AT his spot, August’s eyes widened while staring at the paper he was holding.[DISAPPROVED.]It was written in big, capital letters like it was slapping him from the reality that he wouldn’t be able to escape this place as much as he wanted to. That he would spend his entire life in jail.His hands almost loosened their grip on the paper, until he let go of it, causing the paper to fall on the floor.“Aw, man! Too bad!” Bruce exclaimed before he chuckled. “You didn’t pass the parole? I wonder why?”Bruce’s voice was full of sarcasm and mockery. Suddenly, August realized the reason why he went this far to visit him— to make August see the difference between him and B

โHOW COULD a person be this heartless?โ It was the only question that lingered on August's mind as he stared at the television. Samantha was wearing the same dress he bought for her beforeโ and the same dress she used when Bruce proposed to her. Samantha was sitting in a white office chair, and a white table was in front of her. She had a brown scarf on her neck, and she was wearing large sunglasses that almost hid her face. โIs it true that you've been involved with Augustus Fordman even before both of you entered the Sandoval Corporation?โ the interviewer asked. โY-Yes. August is my ex-boyfriend,โ answered Samantha as her voice cracked a bit. โWe've been together since college. We have kept our relationship a secret since I wanted to finish my studies firstโฆโ

AMADEUS glanced at Rio, signaling him to do something about the CCTV camera inside the room. Rio nodded when he understood what Amadeus meant as he took something from his pocket— A memory card.That made August confused. His lips parted as his questioning look greeted Rio. However, Rio just made a thumbs up before he walked like a flash.He knew how to avoid being caught on camera, so he moved with pre-calculated steps until he was at the edge of the room. In one swift, he used the chair behind him and stepped on it. Finally, he placed the memory card inside the CCTV camera.It didn’t take a second before the camera shut down, only to work again after a few seconds. Earlier, the camera was blinking red, but now, it was the color green. Rio took a look at it again, and when he confirmed something,

THE PRISONERS, instead of helping Mill, did the opposite. They had taken turns to cheer Mill, who was helplessly lying on the floor, and the prison guard who looked determined to kill Mill on the spot.“Wooo! Police versus a prisoner! Nice view!”“Mill! Don’t let them beat you to death, you dumbass!”“Nice punch, officer! Finish the fight already!”A round of screams and applause followed after that.Finishing the fight means killing one of them so the other one could be declared the winner. August shook his head in disbelief. He didn’t like Mill, too, but he couldn’t stand looking at this pitiful situation like this.It was ha

CHARLES’ MIND suddenly went down memory lane. In the blink of an eye, he saw himself going back decades ago, standing in front of their master’s bedroom where Clementine was shouting while a midwife was instructing her some things.“You can do this, Clementine…” said Charles as he leaned on the wall, and gritted his teeth while preventing himself from crying.His heartbeat thumped drastically. It was a special day in his and Clementine's life, and as much as he wanted to accompany her with the pain, Clementine requested for him to stay outside until the end of the process.Inside the room, Clementine was holding tightly onto the bed sheet. There's a thick face towel on her mouth to prevent herself from biting onto her tongue.“Scream

THAT COMMAND lingered in Sapphire’s mind until she was in the Remington Corporation. She had so many things to do.Her mind was filled with tasks as time passed, but now that she was alone, sitting at her office while staring at the ceiling, she tried thinking of how to destroy Samantha’s reputation.With some evidence that would be hard to deny, of course. She doesn’t want to end up like August as it would affect the Remington Corporation’s standing.“Should I call Daphne?” Sapphire asked herself, tapping her fingers on the table. That option lasted for a few seconds before shaking her head. “No. That bitch would kill me.”Special friends— Friends for the worst days of their lives. It doesn’t mean she cou

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

[RICHARD WELLINGTON]August blinked his eyes twice, trying to confirm if what he was reading on the paper was true, or if his eyes were just playing with him. 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.

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.

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. Itโs painful, especially when youโre feeling desperate.โโHow can you do this to me?
