Liam was humming, skipping as he entered the mansion. He received a call from his son Rogue that Master Leon didn"t do anything to Aisha. That means he doesn"t need to worry about Rogue"s safety."Liam, what"s up? What"s with the humming and skipping early morning huh?" Demetrius smiled upon seeing his brother Liam.
"Nothing special brother." He grinned.
"I don"t think so." He looked at him happily. "By the way, I just want to tell you that Leon Hayato called to asked for an apology."
"For what?" Liam acted as if he didn"t know.
"About all the things that he did to Aisha. he even promised not to bother her anymore."
"Well, that"s good to know!" he grinned.
"Yes you"re right. Isn"t Aisha smart? She resolved their dispute with mere conversation not with swords." He smiled proudly for Aisha. "She really deserves to be the next Chief; don"t you think that too?" he looked at Liam.
"Of course." He faked a smile but Rio didn"t notice his sour face after.
"By the way, I"ll be leaving tomorrow. I have some business to attend to. I hope I am not putting the burden on you for watching over the organization."
"That"s not a problem, brother. Do what you need to do. I"ll manage the organization very well." Liam smirked.
"I know you will." Rio stood up and went to his room.
Liam"s eyes followed Demetrius until he can"t see his shadows anymore. he smirked evilly and immediately called one of his men.
"Tell the men to stand by. you might resume your work tomorrow." Then he hung up.
"Yes brother. Just leave everything to me. I will definitely manage everything." He laughed evilly.
Demetrius reached his room. he pulled his phone and dialed Archie"s number.
"Did you prepare everything?" he asked.
"Yes. everything"s ready for tomorrow"s flight." Archie answered on the other line.
"How about the men?"
"They"re good. I already had their records fix. They can start as soon as possible."
"Make sure he won"t be able to notice it. he is smart and careful, you know that." Rio alerted him.
"I have full knowledge about that. don"t worry." he answered confidently.
"Thank you Archie." Then he hung up. He looked outside the window and saw Liam drove his car to who knows where.
He sighed. "I hope I"m wrong." he whispered.
Demetrius needs to go back to the Central City. one of their clients had a problem with the products that they received over past few months and he wants to settle it himself. They had never experienced this before. it"s quite impossible so he decided to do it himself.

Sophie saw Lisa sitting at the porch, looking at the horizon. But Sophie was sure that her mind went somewhere else.
She stood in front of her but Lisa didn"t bat an eyelid. She even waved her hands but to no avail. After a while, Sophie screamed.
Lisa jumped to her feet. She screamed with her. after a second, she realized what had just happened. She apologized.
"Are you okay?" Sophie asked worriedly.
"Ehm." Lisa nodded. "How about you?" but it was too late when she realized that she asked the wrong question. She faked a smile.
"Did you had a fight with my brother?" Sophie raised a brow.
"No! it"s nothing like that." she explained. "It"s just that, he"s been acting strange the past days."
"He was always acting weird. Haven"t you got used to him yet?" Sophie teased.
"Of course I know that. but this time, it"s different. He is somewhat secretive. I don"t know." Lisa stood up as she paced back and forth. "I just can feel it." her tone was sad.
"Why don"t you asked him? it"s better to asked than to suspect him of anything." Sophie sat on the couch. "Trust me, suspecting him won"t do you any good."
"I know. I"ve been wanting to asked him a few days ago. But I"m afraid. Who knows he had a reason for not telling me yet." she sighed.
"You"re weird." Sophie unknowingly uttered.
"What do you mean?"
"I can see that you trust Caleb so much but you are also doubting him secretly. Isn"t that the weirdest thing to do?" Sophie chuckled.
"I guess? Haha!" they both laughed then silence came.
"How about you? and Hunter?" Lisa suddenly broke the silence between them.
"What about us?" she raised a brow.
"You like her and it"s obvious that he cares for you too. Have you talked about it yet?"
"There"s nothing to talk to. Everything ended between us few years ago." She hides the pain in her heart.
"What happened?" Lisa got hooked up. Sophie sighed.
"Nothing. just some misunderstandings and a bit of ego battles." She chuckled sarcastically. "Maybe we are not really meant to be together since the beginning of time."
"But you still like him."
"No. I don"t."
"Then why did you spied him out?" Lisa replied teasingly. "You"re hurt when you see him with other woman. isn"t that love? Haha!" Lisa lightly pinched her on the arm.
Dang this woman. how did they even got close for a short span of time? she smiled at the thought of it. Lisa is a sweet, positive and jolly woman. no wonder Caleb fell in love with her.
Could it be because she is strict and not sweet that Hunter doesn"t want her anymore? maybe Hunter wants a woman like that of Rizza; jolly and isn"t boring at all. her heart ached at the thought of it.
They don"t have much time for each other. If Sophie isn"t busy in her work, then Hunter had gone to his missions. It was already a blessing that they would see each other twice a month. That was the main reason that they broke off.
Hunter is always on his mission. Although they grew up together, their relations.h.i.+p as a couple ended after. Hunter had chosen his profession rather than their relations.h.i.+p. After they broke off, Hunter went to the Central City and put up his own business.

"Are you sure this will work?" Silver held the pill with his finger.
"We have to try, Mr. Gray. That drug has the same component like the first one but we made it a bit stronger. We still need to do some experiment though." The lab scientist relayed.
"How many days will it take you?"
"I"m afraid it would take months."
"No! I can"t accept that! I need a result in a week. If you can"t deliver me result in a week then better find another company that will accept you." Silver threatened.
"I"ll try my best, Mr. Gray." The man in his fifties quivered.
"Don"t try! Do it!" he lectured. Then he left without any further word. He was beyond angry. He needs to have a new pill, stronger than the other. he won"t allow Sherry to remember anything. Not now and not ever!
Silver knew the consequences once Sherry remembers her past. Not only will she leave him for good. She will sue him for sure. there are some secrets needed to be buried forever and Sherry was a bearer of those truths. He can"t afford to lose his fight now. Not when he can see the silver lining of his years of hard work.
Then Silver recalled the day he saved Sherry.
"We need to kill her if you don"t want to go to jail!" one of Silver"s friend urged him.
"Silver!" his friend shook him.
"No! we have to save her!" Silver scooped Sherry and bought her in the car. He drove off to the nearest hospital.
"Silver are you sure about this? What if she goes to the police when she wakes up? You"ll be on the line!"
"Will you shut up! Let"s solve that after we save her." Worry is visible in his tone.
Silver is in the hospital when the woman woke up. To his surprise, the woman was acting weird as if she doesn"t know what had happened to her.
"Are you okay?" Silver rushed to her side.
"Who are you? and where am I?" she mumbled weakly.
"Don"t you remember? It"s me Silver?!"
"I don"t know you." She was a bit scared. She looked at her surroundings and to her hands with IV. "Where am I? what happened to me? And---- w-who am I?" Sherry wiggled her head then she started screaming. Silver called the doctor. The doctor rushed to the patient and injected a sleeping drug.
After running some check-ups, the doctor concluded that the patient had suffered a mental trauma that greatly contributes to her amnesia.
"Ah! What a beautiful tragedy!" Silver grinned evilly.
