Chapter 3 Third

Chapter 3 Third

How can a woman trust this man? He just likes to change his dress if he changes women. Within a week, there were four women. So it got to the point where it became like this. I wanted to preach to him, but I just let him be.

“You’re a lucky man. You found a woman who will truly love you and be with you for life.”

“When I was serious, I became like this. I avoided women to change, but I also had no destination." He says.

“It's not too late and there are many more women out there who are better than her,” I said. He shook his head.

"Cupid's arrow hit me and stabbed me in the between my heart." He says that once held in the middle of his chest,

This bastard is really in love. Maybe he's just changed totally.

“Why don't you court her once more? Maybe there's still a chance.” My suggestion. And he shrugged at me.

"She already went home and never came back here." He replied.

I leaned back on the couch. My back suddenly aches because of the fall of my great playboy friend. It’s funny to think that he changed.

“What are you planning to do now? Back to the old days?” I asked him. He shook his head "No way! I might get sick." He told me.

“Seriously? Have you thought about the number of women you've slept with? I doubt it. This is just your drama." I said.

“Damn you! I have changed." He told me.

"All right, you say so," I said.

I looked at the time on my watch. It's eight o'clock in the evening.

"I have to go, man. My bodyguards haven't eaten yet." I told him.

"We should hang out next time," I said.

"Okay."

I got up and walked out of Douglas’s condo. I got into the car as my bodyguards followed. I received ten missed calls from Cathaliya. My forehead furrowed. I called her using my headset.

“What’s wrong, Babe?" I asked her on the other line.

“Where are you? I keep on calling you, but you don't answer. Now what?” I could hear the anger in her voice.

I sighed. "Look, I’m sorry. I didn’t hear that you called. I was with Douglas earlier since he was broken-hearted.” I said.

She doesn’t speak again over the line. And I think Cathaliya is already hanging up the phone. Maybe I'll let her go for now because I'm too tired to go back and comfort her. When I got home, I went into the room to get dressed and lay down on the bed for a while.

“Shit!” Don Esteban said after he threw away the tabloid since his blood boiled after reading the page.

“Hatchway has once again snatched the investors who are for us.”

He smoked a cigarette and then smashed it in the ashtray.

“It is not someone like him who will bring down what I have worked for. So sooner or later, you need to put him away and kill him. You should plan it carefully so you don't get caught." He told his bodyguard.

The door opened and one of his bodyguards entered. He whispered in his ear, "Mr. Patterson, Don Esteban, will not sign the agreement papers." It says.

Don Esteban stood up in his seat.

“Useless people! I hope you drowned him in a drum of water to grow old!" It says, in a screaming voice.

“But there is another way. Go back to him and threaten him that if he does not sign, we will kill his only daughter. If not, bring her daughter to me because I have something to do with her,” Don Esteban said.

The man nodded and left in front of the boss. One of those who made his brain ache was Patterson. He owed him ten million, and he planned to pull the old man's company because he couldn't pay. The two of them agreed, but now he withdrew his promise. I hope I don't get to the point where I run out of patience with him because by chance I will be forced to kill him.

Athena came home after she stayed at her sister's house in Chicago. She had planned to pay a visit to her father once in a while because it had been years since she had seen him. She was a doctor in France, and she stayed there for several years. Her mom died six years ago, and she left her daddy in New York for his business. My daddy wasn't calling much anymore, so she was worried that something bad might have happened to him. She left work and went home to New York. Carrying luggage, she got out of a taxi from the airport. She is now standing in front of their house. All the memories she had of this house flashed back.

In this house, she grew up and shared laughter, with her parents and sister. She pressed the doorbell twice. But no one opened the gate. And she pushed the gate to enter in case it opened, but she suddenly got inside. So the gate is not locked. She walked through the front door and didn’t hear any noise. She thought. Where is her daddy? She opened the front door and entered. She found her daddy sitting on the couch with his mouth covered by a piece of cloth.

She attended it. "Daddy! What happened? Why is your mouth shut?” I asked him.

He turned pale as if scared to see her. She knows something is not right. I removed the cloth that was covered in his mouth.

"Princess, I hope you don't come home." Her daddy said as if he wanted to cry.
