Toni stood for a moment, watching the boat until it disappeared from view. He had a brief smile on his face knowing that he had helped his boss.Then he turned and ran back into the house.He entered the room, locked the door from the inside, then put the keys in his pocket. He picked up a stone and broke the small window on the wall. Glass scattered onto the floor. He knocked off a few more pieces with his elbow to make the hole look bigger like someone had escaped through it.He stepped back and looked at his work, it was enough to fool anyone including his dad. Then, he sat down on the chair. The plate of food was still on the table. He pulled it close and started eating. A few minutes later, he leaned back, his hand dropped the spoon and his eyes grew heavy.Within minutes, he was out.Fifteen minutes later, Kenny parked the speedboat at the dock of a small, quiet town. He didn’t waste time looking around. He felt tired, sore, and hungry, but none of that mattered. What mattered

Toni stood up slowly, still feeling weak. “But what about the guards?” he asked. “Why didn’t they see him escaping?”The masked man chuckled quietly, but there was no joy in his laugh. "They were all unconscious, just like you.”Toni’s eyes widened again. He looked at the broken window, then at the empty spot where Kenny had been.“So, you mean someone did something to the food?” he asked.The masked man nodded. “That’s the only thing that makes sense.”Toni bent down to look at the food again. “Could it be the chef who did it?” he asked.The masked man shook his head. “No. I found him in the kitchen. He was unconscious too.”Toni stood up straight. His face was serious now. “Then who could have done it?”The masked man didn’t answer. He just stared at the floor, deep in thought. Whoever it was had to be close, smart and brave enough to take the risk.Far away in Country C, Zeres finally landed at the airport. He walked fast through the arrival gate, holding his small bag in one hand.

“The sleeping one,” Kenny explained. “I gave it to Toni and asked him to mix it into the food. When the guards ate, they all fell asleep. That’s when Toni helped me.”Zeres raised his eyebrows. “He really helped you escape?”“Yes,” Kenny said. “He gave me his father’s speed boat. It was hidden behind the house, and I used it to leave the island. That’s how I got out.”Zeres leaned back on the chair, whistling softly. “Wow. The masked man must be really angry now. He is probably looking everywhere for you.”Kenny gave a small smile. “I know. ”Zeres nodded, understanding. “That was so smart of him.”Kenny looked down, deep in thought. “I really want to help Toni. He risked a lot by helping me. He could get in trouble if his father finds out he was the one who helped me escape.”“What do you want to do?” Zeres asked.Kenny looked up. “ I really don't know, but what I am sure of is that he’s not on his father’s side. He told me that it was the masked man who killed his mother."Zeres lo

Back home, Mr. Zack sat on the couch holding his phone tightly in his hand. He looked tired and deep in thought. After leaving the press conference at Dawson's International Company, his mind had not rested. He had been trying to reach Kenny ever since, but his calls were not going through.He sighed, rubbing his forehead slowly. Everything he had said at the press conference was just to protect the image of the company. He didn’t want people asking too many questions. The company’s name was on the line, and as the head of it, he had to act quickly on behalf of Kenny.It was fortunate that he just arrived in time before those media people could our pressure on his assistant Kata.Deep inside, Zack he didn’t even know where Kenny had gone after running away from the wedding.He looked at the phone screen again. He had raised Kenny with care and loved him deeply, but now his grandson was keeping secrets from him. Mr. Zack didn’t even know there was a wedding until he heard it from the

Moments later, the private jet finally landed on the private airstrip. Kenny and Zeres stepped off the plane, wearing dark hoodies and sunglasses to hide their faces. They looked around carefully, making sure no one was watching. The airstrip was selected specially so that no media or spies could find out that Kenny was back in the country because the news about him will resurface again, something he didn't want to happen.A car was already waiting for them at the edge of the airstrip and as soon as he saw them approaching, he stepped out and opened the back door for them. Kenny gave him a small nod, then said calmly, “Take us to the mansion.”The driver nodded without a word and got back behind the wheel. Kenny and Zeres climbed into the back seat. As they drove off, Kenny leaned his head back against the seat, closing his eyes for a moment, just thinking about everything that had happened in the span of 72 hours.At the moment, he felt a little relaxed because he had seen Natas
