Gerald's POV"Sir, someone wants to see you. He insisting to see you and told me he's not leaving until you agreed."I turned to my men when he spoke, and curiously looked at him because I am not expecting any type of visitors today, especially since my dad decided a very unexpected decision that annoys me. "Boss?" He speak again."Didn't I told you no visitors?" I replied. "But, sir. He already waiting outside and wanted to speak with you.""I said no visitors. I am busy, don't you see?"He bowed before coming outside but I immediately heard noises coming from outside my door, then a man came in while my guards trying to pull him out of the room. "Gerald! I need to talked to you, please!" He yelled."Get him out of my office, now.""No! Please, you need me!" He insist. "Why would I need another beggar like you?" "I know your brother's plan!" He said, which made me become interested. "Let him go," I order and the guards let him go. "Now, tell me what do you need mister."He loo
Erika's POV"Let me through!" Someone yelled outside the cafe, Causing me to looked around and saw Asher who's trying to stop my mother. So, I immediately call my co-worker and asked her to cover me. After that, I quickly approach them to know what's going on. "What is going on here?" I asked Asher, they look at me at once. "You! You killed my husband!" Mom shouted into my face. "Kill who? I didn't kill anyone, mom!""Liar! You're a liar! Do you think I'll believed you? I lost my husband because of you!" She uttered. I glanced to Asher, but he just gave me a confuse look. Which means he doesn't have any idea what is going on to my mother, and I need to know what's the problem that she accused me. "Okay, I have no idea what are you talking about. But this isn't acceptable at all because I was here. Taking care of this cafe, so don't accused me with no such enough proof.""Ha!" She violently pulled her arm away from Ash, "I may not have proof to flash, but I know you're behind my
Grayson's POVI glanced at my wristwatch, and it's getting bored. Erika knew I hate waiting too long and she doesn't made me wait this long, that woman become more stubborn and stubborn. Because of my businesses, I had no time keeping an eye on her and needed to deal with Patricia because she's still in my house. "I don't think Erika's coming," Nicholas muttered. "Doesn't matter if she come or not. This is a great time for us to talked while waiting for her," I said."Talked about what?""About you, Nicholas. Even though you're my dear cousin, I'm still confused about your personality." He chuckled, "What'd you mean? We are related by blood and I'm a Martinez, Gray.""Not totally a Martinez. But, I'd like to open a very sensitive discussion that always bothers me, Nick. I want some answers coming from you," I replied. "What kind of answers?""Why did you sided with my number one enemy?"Nicholas suddenly stop and can see the anxiousness through his eyes, he's tempted to speak but
Grayson's POV"Good to see you, my little brother."His greetings is fake, everyone can see that. We're close when we were a child but suddenly it change, and now we're fighting for one reason. I came to his villa to discuss about important matters and he seemed waiting for me. "Have a seat, we have plenty to discuss. Want some wine, so we can discuss this matter properly?" "No thanks. I rather die than drinking that wine.""Come on, brother. Don't be a paranoid geek. I am not gonna kill you, not now.""Don't call me brother, Gerald. You're not even my brother because as far as I know your dad rape my mom," I muttered. "Fine. What do you need from me?""I should be the asking you that. What do you need and you brag into Erika's cafe," I uttered. "Oh, that? Well, her mother insist to meet her lovely daughter and accused her without proof. Don't be mad at me, you should be thanking me instead."I scoffed, "Thank you for what? You killed him not me, but decided to throw the crime to m
Grayson's POV"Hey, guys. What chu doin?" Asher greet us and he seem sarcastic when say those words. I know what this man wants."You supposed to stay on Erika's side, not here.""Oh, about that. She gave me a day off, which was nice for a person like me who stuck with a woman. While you and Nicholas? You seemed join a party!"I stop from writing and look at him, "What does it really mean, Asher. I'm not a fortune teller to tell what is going on in your head. Unless you came to annoy me, that's all."Asher seated on the opposite chair and glanced to Nicholas whose quietly reading a book, and doesn't even notice Asher. Perhaps he intentionally did that to annoy him. "Hey, Nick. What's up?" He muttered. "Just chilling and you?" Nick replied without looking at him. "Great. I am great dealing with this easy job and I don't wanna brag, but it doesn't even required on lifting a finger. You seem stress, what did you do? Perhaps, what party did you attend?"Nick looked at him and sighed,
Erika's POVI came out of the taxi and stare at the enormous villa sitting in front of me, then glance to the piece of paper in my hand and take a deep breath. Even though this is dangerous for me, and Grayson will get mad at me for being selfish. I don't care since the more important to me now is my family. After receiving a letter to my apartment and was send an address came from Gerald who wanted to see me. Although it might be a trap again, but who knows if he really wanted nothing but to talked? I am risking my life just to know Eric's situation and also my mom.I stop after reaching the door and then press the doorbell. Meanwhile, someone open the door and it is not Gerald. A man in black with a terrifying and dangerous aura, also his body was full of tattoos. Which imply his personality that this man would not think twice on killing me."Password." I swallowed when he speak and look at paper, "Uh, I came here for this."He took the paper out of my hand and read it like I came
Grayson's POV"So, you are telling me Erika wasn't on her rented apartment. Where did she even go?" I inquired and couldn't stop thinking where the hell she go. "No idea, Gray. I told you yesterday, she gave me a day off and leave her alone for a while because she seem stress. But I didn't know she'll going to leave. Maybe she go to somewhere else?" Asher replied."That's impossible, Asher. Erika has no other place to go unless she's hiding something from me, didn't you check her apartment?""Well, her landlord forbid me to enter her room. So I had no information to give this time," he answer. "Forbid you? Why?""Erika's landlord was told not to let him in," Nick's voice interrupt us, causing me to turned to him."What you got?" I inquired. Nicholas place a long envelope to my desk, "I got in, all I need to do is win the old lady's trust. I believed Erika intentionally left that envelope, and it wasn't just a normal letter that you can usually receive.""What'd you mean?" Asher con
Grayson's POV"I have arrived! Where the hell are you?" I shouted to announce my arrival since this is my first time seeing Gerald's mansion. We're not inside his mansion actually, we're on the front yard which is huge to be exact. His mens are ready to shoot us any moment, but Asher and Nick are more prepared. They already searching for the room where Erika's family were, especially since I couldn't contact her anymore. Gerald probably break her phone for some reason."Do I have to announce myself again, Gerald? Don't hide under your men's skirt, that coward."The front door opened and Erika went outside, but behind her is Gerald, pointing a gun to her head. He is fully prepared, I admit. "Coward. Now you're hiding under a woman's skirt to save yourself?" I muttered to annoyed him. "Don't be bold, Grayson. I am holding your precious and beloved wife, if she's really important to you?""What do you want? This is about your very shitty dream again? Aren't you tired of this sh*t?" I
