“Uncle Vincent?!”their happy filled tones echoes in the room.
“Un… cle?”the man stuttered and slowly removed his legs from Ralph’s.
“How dare you treat my boys like this?”Vincent turned to the man.
The other men in the room bowed.
“They… they are your…. you’re their uncle?”the man stuttered.
“Get yourself here, you asshole. You’re dead.” Vincent signaled to him with his fingers.
The man went to him and he gave him a resounding slap.
“Don’t hurt them, was the instruction I gave.”Vincent frowned.
“And, you dare go against that, Kelvin.”he slapped him again.
Now, the DRS were confused.
Vincent turned to them with a sorry look and walked to where they were.
“Un…. cle.”Ralph called weakly.
“I am here now, boys. Don’t worry.”he untied them.
He threw his head back at the men.
“Did you give them food to eat?”he questioned.
They shook their head and he sprung up and threw a chair at Kelvin.
“You’re dead.”he muttered.
*Why does he sounds like he knew about this?*Ralph wondered. They were all with the same thoughts.
The place were they were tied has reddened.
They breathed out in relief.
Freedom is indeed nice.
Kelvin left the room to get food for them.
Vincent turned back to them and smiled before dropping on a crouch.
“Sorry, cute boys. That guy is too stubborn. I mean, I told him not to touch you, nor hurt you. Look at those red marks now.. he just stained your glowing skins.”
“Uncle Vincent. Were you aware of.. this?”Duvall voiced out.
“No.”he shook his head.
“I wasn’t aware. I don’t have to since I instigated this.”he smirks.
“Whaat?”Snow scoffs.
“Listen, boys.”he looked around at them.
“I… want your treasure, and I will have it. I do.. I really do hope there won’t be any bloodshed in this. I mean, nobody has to die. You just tell me where the treasure is, and I will let you go.”
Ralph scoffs and snickered.
“You’ve always been too ambitious, uncle. It’s a little surprise to me that you’re the one behind this.”he coughed.
“Hm, Ralph. You enjoyed taking drops of water, didn’t you?. Don’t get on my nerves else I’mma make you thirst till death.”he threatened.
The mood in the room became tensed.
“I don’t believe.”Duvall shook his head.
“Uncle, you will never do something like this. You adopted us, you gave us hope. It sounds so stupid that you would want to kill us for a treasure.”he added.
“I mean, after all, I’m not your father. So, why won’t I?. I gave you hope?, I could just take that back. Adopted you?, you guys seems so different among every other kids back then in the orphanage. I knew I should expect something great from you. Plus, the bond between you guys was so strong. I liked that also. Men are stronger when they are together. They would achieve bigger dreams that way too.”he explained.
He pat Snow’s cheek gently.
“I even liked you guys the more because I was told you were quiet. You only keep to yourselves.”he stood up.
“We will resume after you’ve eaten.”he spun around.
“Give the men their space.”he nudged his head to the door while moving away and the men nodded then went out with him.

Queen’s pov.
“Get her out of here! This sly bitch. I don’t wanna see you ever again. You poor thing!!!”I yelled as I throw out Aysel’s belongings.
The guards rushed to where I was and bowed.
“Ma’am, what’s the matter?”
“Get this girl outta here. I don’t want to set my eyes on her again, never! Throw her out!!”I shouted.
She grabbed my ankle.
“Please, ma. Just this once, huh?, give me another chance.”she pleaded.
I yanked my leg out of her grip.
“How dare you touch my leg with your filthy hands!!!!!!!!!!”I thundered.
“What are you doing?!!.. take her out.”I instructed the guards.
They got to work by carrying her luggage and dragging her out.
“Ma!, please!! Ma’am!!!”
I watched as they dragged her out of the compound and threw her out before locking the gate.
“Mom?”I heard Juliet’s call beside me.
I glanced at her.
“Is it okay to let her go like that?”she enquired.
I smirked and headed back in with her beside me.
We got to my office and I carried my cup of tea.
“I already set boys out on her way. They will take care of her quietly. I believe that’s the best, no?.”I sipped out of my tea.
Juliet smiled.
“I was wondering why it was taking you so long to discard her, I didn’t know you’ve had this grand plan in mind.”
“I am not a dumb woman. She will die. She will..”I placed my lips on the rim of the glass cup.
“She have to die.”I mumbled.

Diana’s pov.
Emma left after I was done sizing the dress.
“That lady likes to smile a lot.”I said to John.
We were both in his room.
“I guess she is fond of you.”he replied, while operating his phone.
I scoffed.
“No. She isn’t.”I muttered.
He looked up at me.
“What do you mean?”he questioned.
“We will see how it goes.”I said instead.

Emma’s pov.
Ugh. My cheeks are hurting from excessive smiles.
Geez. That idiot.
I just have to smile every moments to conceal my hatred for her.
I think it’s almost the right time to strike.
I can’t keep up with stuff like this in the future.
I fished out my phone from my bag and started dialing his number.
I inserted my car key in the ignition hole and turned it on.
It vibrated to life and I engaged the engine before driving out.
“Hello?”
“Get it done tomorrow.”
And I hung up.

Secretary’s pov.
I moved to the toilet and slowly shuts the door, after making sure no one was in sight.
I checked all the toilets to see if anyone was in before picking up the call.
“I checked their office. There is no clue in there.”I said.
“Try to search for it more. If possible, search the whole building.”
“The… the whole building?. That’s a lot.”I stammered.
“Killing you won’t be a lot, right?”
My heart missed a beat at his threat.
“I.. I will search them.”
“Good.”
“Wha… what are you going to do to them?”
“Why do you wish to know?. But, of course, you know death answers all.”
