"Right. Yes, Mr. Adrien?"

"OPEN THE GODDAMN GATE ALREADY!" Adrien bellowed.

"Sorry, I'll need Mr. Abel's permission."

"I'm his older brother!"

"But Mr. Abel is my employer."

"What a load of bullcrap." Adrien cursed. "Tell him I'm visiting."

"Please wait here." The guard then sauntered to the mansion. The guard post was several hundred feet away from the mansion. But instead of using his intercom to ask for permission, the guard walked to the mansion. It took almost 15 minutes for the guard to get back to Adrien.

"Sorry. Mr. Abel said no visitor," the guard uttered apologetically.

"What did you tell him?" Adrien's face twitched.

"I told him that his brother is here."

"And?"


"But he said 'I don't care!' and went back to sleep."

"Sleep?" Adrien looked at his wristwatch. It was barely 9 PM. It was dinner time.

"He did go to bed." The guard then pointed at the mansion behind him. "See? The lights are off."
"Right. Yes, Mr. Adrien?"

"OPEN THE GODDAMN GATE ALREADY!" Adrien bellowed.





















Adrien cranked his head to look at the mansion. It was brightly lit just now. But all lights were switched off as they spoke. It felt like a slap to his face.

"Abel Ryker!" Adrien shouted. "You can't hold my kids hostage. You can't!"

Only silence, replied Adrien.

"Motherf*cker! You won't be able to keep them forever." Adrien then drove away.
