Adrian stood still then Dubois came

"You've always avoided me, why show up now?" He asked

"I didn't show up for you, I came to pay my last respect" Adrian answered looking at the image behind Dubois

    Carolina kept staring at Woo Jin, she held Justin behind her "I'm not an animal, why hide the child from me?" He looked behind her "Because you have no business with the child" her voice was firm and rigid "I saw you at a distance and wanted to say hi" he stretched his hand Carolina looked down at his hand and back at his face. She took Justin's hand and walked away. A smile grew on Ashley's face as she watched from behind a car. "Mummy? Who's that?" Justin asked "Someone I used to know" Carol said and Ashley came around "Are we leaving?" She asked "Hmm, I don't think Justin wants school, let's go back home" Carol said Ashley crouched to Justin "Why don't you want school? Don't you like it? Do you want another?" She asked Justin nodded no "Then you better don't get me out of bed so early next time" she growled "Let's go" Ashley led the way to the car. They were about to leave when Carolina spotted Woo Jin again "What's that freak doing here?" Ashley gagged "Who knows

    Adrian worked till late at night then Ashley came in "Of course, still working" she walked over to him "I'm not talking" "You just did" "Don't talk to me" Adrian continued typing "Sure" she said and leaned down to look at his screen, her head obstructing his view He slammed his hands on the keyboard "For goodness sake Ashley" he hissed "Talk to me" she said "What do you want?" He asked "Great! Whose funeral was it?" She asked "Mind your own business" he continued typing "Look at that, thought you didn't want the gifts" she said, holding the snow globe "Hah! It sings too" she laughed. Adrian got up, his height overshadowing her. Ashley got thrown out of his study and the door slammed behind her "Oh come on! Why so difficult?" She asked "Fine, I'll leave. But..." She slid a paper under the door. "Look what I found" she said "You're welcome" she walked away. Adrian had gotten the locket back from the butler, as expected, something was indeed inside. A chip. He put

Murmurs like whispers erupted from the people "Isn't that Moretti or am I tripping?" One whispered "I'll never understand the audacity he has" "I'm surprised he's alive" "Not for long though. Years have passed and things have changed" Adrian ignored the faces and just walked straight to the coffin and picture at the front. Adrian held his hands before him and bowed, paying his respect to Dubois' sister, the woman who still looked at Adrian with a bit of warmth in her eyes. After Adrian was done, he turned around to leave. At the other end of the hall, a piercing gaze

    ~Moretti Mansion Ashley pulled up back at the mansion like Adrian hadn't given them a curfew. They walked into the house and met Adrian sitting on the couch, and a newspaper opened to his face. "You're late" his voice echoed through the house Ashley's heart jumped "Gosh! Can you not?" She said, holding her hand to her chest "What'd I say about coming back?" Adrian got up and walked over to Ashley "It's just a few minutes past eight" "I said six!" He raised his voice Ashley groaned, her finger pressed to her ear "Ugh, I heard you. I'm really tired." She tapped his shoulder "Oh! Your keys" she handed his keys back to him "I also fueled your car, you're welcome" she clicked he tongue before walking up lazily and tired. Adrian heard the door open and saw the two at the door. He walked over and saw Carol. She carried Justin who was sound asleep, his grip on her shirt, tight and unwavering while she carried shopping bags. "Did you not learn about the curfew?" He asked then Car

    ~Moretti Mansion. Present day Carolina was with Justin outside playing whatever games. Adrian watched from upstairs, his hands dug in his pockets. "The look of love" Ashley teased and Adrian turned around "Have you been so single you're now interested in other people's lives?" He asked "Do you admit it?" She asked but he said nothing "What are you doing here?" He asked and took a seat "If you're less busy, let's go out" she said "No, thank you" he declined without hesitation "I'm not concerned about you. It's about Justin, let's take him out" she said "He hasn't had fun out before" she blinked in appeal "No" Adrian declined "Why not?" She asked "Because..." Adrian got up "there's danger outside" he walked out of his study "But I'll be there" she said "Well, I won't" "You're the one who wants to stay back" she grumbled then he stopped "Fine. Go" he said Her face lit up "Yay!" "Without Justin" he walked into his room and closed the door. "What's the point then?!" S

    It's been a year since Adrian left. No attacks, no sign of the empire until that night when it rained heavily. Adrian heard a cry from Justin in another room. He thought maybe he was scared of the weather, so he strolled casually to the other room. It was dark and Adrian reached for the switch when a feminine voice spoke "I tried to calm him" Adrian froze "Who are you?" "Come on, you're smarter than this, you know who I am" she said and Adrian switched on the lights. "Hi" the lady smiled with a lollipop in her hand "I guess you taught him not to take sweets from strangers" she said "he looks at me like a stranger now" she added "...just like you are too" her voice dropped low. Adrian looked behind him and saw Cassian with a metal bat hung above his shoulder. "Long time, Moretti. You didn't forget my promise, did you? A smile tugged at his thin lips. "Leave Justin out of this" Adrian said "We're not bad guys to hurt a child" the lady said and threw her hand around his sh
