"I was starting to think you were dead." Gabriel said as soon as he saw Alessandro stir. Alessandro, who was bandaged from head to toe, smiled painfully but still tried to get out of bed. "With a bullet wound near your heart, it won't take long for it to tear open once again, with the blood surging towards your heart, you'll probably die." Gabriel said from the side. Alessandro didn't stop. He successfully got out of bed and walked up to Gabriel. Then with a loud thud, he fell on his knees in front of him. "It doesn't matter what happens to me, I failed in protecting you. Hence, I deserve to die." Gabriel said nothing. Turning to look at Alessandro, he scoffed, "Death is too easy an escape for you. Moreover, I wouldn't get you treated if I was going to kill you. Get yourself together, I need the heads of those who tried to kill me on my table as soon as possible." "As you please, boss." Alessandro nodded, still having his head down. Gabriel said nothing for a long time before

Carrie opened the door to an unfamiliar face. "I think you have the wrong address." She said and tried to close the door, but Jordan placed his leg in the way. Whipping out his phone, he showed her the address Andrea forwarded to him. Andrea's name was also visible which made Carrie reconsider. "She said she was going to come." "Something probably came up so she called and asked me to take care of things around here." Jordan said as he walked into the room. He glanced around, but caught no sight of any other person, "I was told you have six men with you." "They should be in the other room. You can go talk to them." Carrie replied, reaching into her pocket almost immediately. Without raising her eyes again, she walked out of the door, leaving the words, "I'll be back." "Yes." She answered the call when she had gone a distance from the house. "You've been there for quite some time, but you're not making any progress. Isn't it too early to show your incompetence?" A harsh voice so

"Is there something I am missing, Davis?" Andrea broke the silence in the car. Davis who had been hoping she wouldn't ask, almost stepped on the brakes in fright. He met her eyes through the rearview mirror and quickly took down his eyes in fright. "What? Of course not." Davis replied in a stoic voice. Andrea tilted her head outside the car's window and went silent. "Stop the car." Davis immediately found somewhere to park and killed the car's engine. The silence in the car was once again broken by Andrea who took up her phone, "Do you remember the 14-year-old who got molested by Reuben Mark?" "Yes, I do." "Do you know she's dead?" She asked again and Davis' eyes immediately went to her. Recalling the way she looked that day, he had a bad feeling regarding her involvement with Reuben Mark. "I had no idea I was supposed to keep tabs on her. I'm sorry." He muttered. Andrea chuckled and glanced up at him, "There's no need to keep things away from me or be wary of me since I'm n

Kirby squinted as the bag on her head was lifted off. She had to keep her eyes closed for a couple of minutes before she slowly opened them. The room she was in was bare of any furniture other than the chair she sat on and her handbag which was right beside the chair. She looked haggard and disheveled from her lack of rest, with bags under her eyes, unkempt hair, and wrinkled clothing. Her glowing white skin had also gone pale and clammy, and her eyes were bloodshot from exhaustion. "How could you sleep comfortably for eleven hours?" A disgruntled voice asked from the side.Kirby's pupils quickly dilated in fear as the memory of what happened flooded back into her memory. She had tried to leave the car after her name was called, but only saw darkness. So, she was knocked unconscious by this…person? "You do know kidnapping and abusing an officer is a crime on its own, don't you?" Kirby asked. The person in front of her chuckled and stepped forward. Then she took off her mask and

The Meyer's Manor "Because of your stupid idea, not only did I lose three hundred million dollars, I also lost my dignity!" Isaac yelled at his younger brother. The only thing stopping him from throwing things at Ryan was the fact Evelyn was in their midst. Judith had returned back as soon as the engagement party didn't work. Hence, only Asher, Nicholas, Ryan, Isaac and Evelyn were in the living room. As usual, Adrian was out of the house. But even if he wasn't, he wouldn't bother to show his face since his grandmother was upset with him getting caught on camera for assaulting Damon. "Uncle isn't to blame, father." Asher butted in when Ryan refused to say a word in defense. Ignoring the murderous gaze Isaac gave him, he continued, "We're way past the age where children had no right to interfere in an arranged marriage. Andrea spoke her mind. It's our fault for not getting her opinion on the matter." "Gabriel Accardo gave his word that his daughter would marry one of my grandsons
