  Richard's journey back to the city felt both long and short. Long because of the distance, yet too short for him to properly strategize his next move. As soon as he reached the riverbank, he knew he needed to come up with a plan quickly, but his mind was still racing. “Damn! I can’t believe I couldn’t come up with a plan in all this time. Things would’ve been easier if Emma were here,” Richard muttered to himself as he paced around the riverbank, panic setting in. “Gideon is definitely looking for me now. Alright, here’s what I’ll do: I’ll head back to Linda, Emma, and Nina. Together, we’ll come up with a plan to stop Gideon. I’m not letting his blood end up on my hands.” "But wait," Richard said, still panicking. "If I don't kill him, he'll kill me. Oh my God, this is bad. I can't believe I threatened a world-class murderer. What should I do now?" He tried to hold himself together, desperately attempting to calm down. After a long period of panick...

The following morning, after a restless yet surprisingly comfortable night's sleep, Linda made her way to the kitchen in search of some refreshing water. As she entered, she found Richard diligently drying the freshly washed dishes. Their eyes met, and an unspoken tension filled the air. Surveying the kitchen, Linda noticed that the tumbler she needed was placed too high for her to reach. With a frustrated groan, she stretched as far as she could, attempting to grasp it. Unbeknownst to her, Richard had silently moved closer behind her. In a swift motion, he reached out and effortlessly retrieved the tumbler before handing it to her. Later in the morning, Nina and Emma busied themselves preparing breakfast together in the kitchen. As they worked side by side, Emma paused and approached Nina with a suggestion. "Hey, I was thinking, maybe we could go on a picnic together later. Just enjoy some time alone," Emma proposed, a hopeful expression on his face. Nina smiled warmly a...

  Linda was gripped with grave panic upon learning that Franklin wasn't who he appeared to be. Standing at the river banks of the villa, she was lost in deep contemplation. After spending a considerable amount of time by the water, she gathered herself and made her way back to the house, pretending ignorance to ensure her own safety.  Despite her inner turmoil, she couldn't muster the courage to reach out to Richard, whom she had previously pushed away. Feelings of sadness and fear overwhelmed her, yet she knew she had to conceal these emotions. Upon arriving at the house, Linda found Franklin already cooking. As he noticed her return, he approached her and enveloped her in a hug. "Hey, you had me worried. I'm sorry for acting like a jerk. I promise I won't smoke again," he reassured her. Linda nodded in acknowledgment and quietly made her way to the room. As Linda made her way to the room, Franklin noticed her somber mood and inquired, "Hey, is there any...

Louis Faustina here reporting live after the apprehension of the suspect involved in the assault on Mariano wonder kid, Franklin. The culprit has been captured by the police and is expected to face justice swiftly. The admiration for the wonder kid among many girls is evident, as some even resorted to throwing pies and eggs at the suspect as he was escorted to the station. This is Louis Faustina bringing you the latest updates on the unfolding events. As Nina and Emma watched the news, Emma stood up, grabbed the remote, and turned off the TV. "We have to help him. He needs us," Emma asserted. "You heard him, right? He said he doesn't need us," Nina fired back. "What?! Maybe he said that, but right now, he really needs us. Can't you see it? He's going to stand trial, and if we don't do anything, he's likely to go to jail," Emma said urgently. "He's in police custody. How are we supposed to help him when he's with the police?...

As Richard, Nina, and Emma sped away from the Falcon Fraternity, Richard struggled to move within the car, clearly feeling the weight of his injuries as he groaned in discomfort. Upon arriving at their destination, they assisted Richard inside and carefully laid him on his bed. "Is the pain too much?" Nina inquired, her concern evident in her voice. Richard, overwhelmed by the pain, found it difficult to muster a response, but he managed to nod his head slightly, indicating that the pain wasn't unbearable. Seeing his discomfort, Emma hurried outside to retrieve his bags, searching frantically for pain relief. Fortunately, he located some and brought it back to Richard. After taking the medication, Richard drifted off into a much-needed sleep. Back at the party, Linda remained outside, lost in her thoughts, her gaze fixed on the skies above. Lost in her contemplation, she was startled as a figure approached her from behind and gently touched her shoulder—it was Franklin. ...

Richard Emma, and Nina remained in a state of shock, particularly Nina, who was unaware of Gloria's identity but sensed the gravity of the situation. "Please, don't scare me, guys. What's going on?" Nina asked, her voice tinged with concern. "Gloria is Jim's stepmom, the one Richard fought against to overthrow from the company last year," Emma explained, filling Nina in on the background. "She's currently in jail now." "Well, if she's in jail, then why the worried face? Our problem is Gideon, not someone in prison," Nina reasoned. "You don't understand!" Richard shouted. "The only one who could fill us in with information about this Gideon guy may not even open up. This is so messed up!" Nina nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. "Okay, if you put her in jail, then she won't get to tell us anything because of what you did to her," she said, addressing Emma. Emma nodded in...

After Richard's confrontation with Gloria, he made his way back to the car where Nina and Emma were waiting. Nina inquired eagerly, "How did it go?" Richard sighed, "Well, she advised me to run away. According to her, Gideon is incredibly dangerous." Emma, engrossed in her phone, suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my God!" Both Nina and Richard turned to Emma, their curiosity piqued. "What's going on?" they asked simultaneously. Emma showed Richard an article on her phone with the headline "Potential Couple: Linda Jim of Prime Tech and Franklin of Marion Private Hospitals Spotted at Three Different Places – Likely to be a Date." Despite feeling devastated, Richard maintained his composure. "It's just a rumor," he assured them. Nina pressed on, "Well, we need to act fast. What's our next move?" Emma interjected, "There's a party today at 5 hosted by Prime Tech and Marion Private Hospital," as she re...

Richard packed his bags in preparation for his return to the city when Emmanuel, accompanied by Nina, entered the room. Surprised, Richard exclaimed, "What! I only thought of you joining because of one reason. Did you have to involve her in this?" Emmanuel defended his decision, stating, "Well, she's my girlfriend. It's not like I didn't inform her about it." "Hey, I heard what you told Emma. I want to help keep him safe and also assist you in checking on your family," Nina expressed. "Keep me safe? Seriously, I'm the man in this relationship," Emma retorted, causing Richard to sigh and hit his hands on his face. "Well, let's go. We don't have more time to spend. The morning bus will soon pass," Richard urged as he hurriedly packed and left, followed by Nina and Emmanuel. As they stepped outside the front of the boys' quarters, they were surprised to see a sleek spider car. Nina confidently pulled out a key, ...

Richard, in his room, contemplates the suit he'll wear to the departmental party. Despite his aversion to such events, he finds himself complying with Nina's request, preparing to take Becky as his date. As he gazes at his suit, Emma enters, observing Richard still seated. "Hey, bro, shouldn't you be getting dressed by now? It's already 6 pm, and the party and dinner night kick off at 7. We need to head out; I wouldn't want Nina to wait too long for me," Emma urged. Expressing his frustration, Richard comments on Emma's apparent enthusiasm for the dinner night while feeling neglected in his own desires. "Look at you, all happy and excited about the dinner night, but you don't even care about my happiness. I specifically asked you to convince Nina to offer me something else in return for fixing the drone, but you chose not to. Now, I find myself headed to a party I absolutely dread," Richard voiced his discontent. Emma defends himself agai...
