Lahat ng Kabanata ng Vengeance of the Fallen Heir: From Cell to CEO: Kabanata 101 - Kabanata 110

~SARAH BENNETT ~The envelope arrived just after noon.It came the way I had instructed it which was through one of the prople who worked im the hotel that ooked like he had no interest in remembering my face after he left. But I made sure to answer the door in a short towel loosely tied around my body so in case he's asked, that'd would be the first thing he'd mention and whoever is listening would automatically think he's a pervI closed the hotel room door behind him, slid the lock into place, and stared at the envelope in my hand for a long second before opening it.The paper inside was official-looking enough to survive a first glance and intimidating enough to discourage a second. The doctor did good on his word. I should pay him a visit soon just for reinforcement sake.I walked toward the window where I had spread the documents out over the little round table beside the upholstered chair. The forged toxicology report sat at the top of the pile like a reward. I added the medica

~ETHAN WILDER~The doctor met me just outside Simeon’s room.“He’s stable,” he said, flipping through the chart in his hand. “All his vitals are doing well. There’s no sign of internal deterioration. Right now, there’s nothing alarming.”I nodded, but I didn’t relax.“Then why isn’t he awake yet?”The doctor didn’t seem offended by the question. If anything, he looked like he’d expected it. “The body has its own timeline after trauma. He’s responding exactly how I’d want him to. Give it time. The first forty-eight hours are still important, but at this stage, you have nothing to worry about.”I thanked him before stepping into Simeon’s room one more time before I left. I stood there for a few seconds, hands in my pockets, staring at him. He was completely still, except for the soft fall and rise of his chest.“You’d better wake up soon,” I muttered then sighed. His face didn’t change. “We are not watching the footage without you by the way. So you better wake up soon.”Shit! I am bad

Since Damian's safehouse was very far from Boston's central parts, it took over an hour and half to get to the hospital from there. When my driver pulled into the lot of the hospital, I pushed the compartment I had found behind the mirror to the back of my mind, and also the notification Mark had sent for the publicity photo shoot session for the upcoming Q2 event we were preparing for.By the time I arrived at Simeon's ward, Alina was chuckling softly at something that was being said, sitting on a chair beside Simeon who, for the first time since he was rushed to the hospital, had some color in his face.“Sir.” He winced a greeting and I found myself chuckling with relief.“Good to see you not lying down and unmoving. Had to stare so long to be sure your chest was moving even if the monitor says you're alive. You gave us such a scare.” I feigned a frown.Simeon smiled. It reached his eyes and it causes my eyebrows to lift in surprise. That was a rare expression. He was actually beam

~SARAH BENNETT ~Julian didn’t bother with greetings.“You went to Italy.” His voice didn’t sound too happy, I could picture his displeased face as he said that.I leaned back on one arm, dressed in my underwear and sitting on my bed while the other hand pressed my phone against my ear.“I did.”Silence filled the receiver, a stretch so long that I was tempted to confirm if he was still on the phone.“That wasn’t the plan.” He said, bitter and annoyed.I smiled faintly, in spite of Julian “Plans change.”“You didn’t inform me.”“And you don’t inform me every time you take steps of your own.” I replied calmly. “We’ve never operated that way.”His exhale came through the line, sharp but controlled. “Sarah, you’re taking matters into your own hands.”Now it was my turn to frown. I put the phone in front of me and frowned at it as if Julian could see me before returning to my ear and giving my response. “I appreciate your concern Julian but let me remind you that it is my brother we’re ta

~ETHAN WILDER~Since the doctor didn't seem interested in letting Simeon go so earlier than he advised, we all decided to watch the footage together at the hospital. Sinclair, Alina, Simeon and myself. It was my first time watching it and Alina’s too but Sinclair had asked for the USB to make a copy. I assumed he has watched it but he was here with us anyway.We started with the one marked with the date when Damian had gone missing. It had started like the usual day, Damian had woken up early, made coffee, checked his kitchen and made a list, probably a list of things he needed to buy. Then he got his phone and Sinclair cleared that up. It was that time Damian had called to tell him what he needed but he didn't make mention of going into town. After that, Damian walked towards the back that led to the garden to tend to his potatoes.“I saw some footprints in the garden when I was here to inspect the place.” Simeon commented with a nod of his head. The video confirmed a part of his the
