Chapter 3: The Missing Young Master

[ Country M… ]

In the Branch Office of SYP Twilight Corporation, the atmosphere inside was very jittery, and restless as if an impending disaster was about to transpire in that very place.

The assistant, the nanny, the bodyguards, and the staff who were serving the CEO and were assigned to watch over the little young Master were on tenterhooks, waiting for their Big Boss to speak up.

They stood together in a row, looking down and trembling as if they were about to face an imminent death. No one dared to look at their Big Boss whose expression was as cold as the iceberg in the north pole.

Nathan Sparks, the mighty CEO of the SYP Twilight Corporation, was sitting on his executive chair with a chilly aura emanating around him.

He exuded such tremendous pressure that everyone standing before him felt their bodies covered with cold sweat. They all remained silent on their spot, afraid of making any slightest sound.

"Have you found him?" Nathan asked them, his cold voice broke the deafening silence.

Axel, his right-hand man, stepped into the middle, facing Nathan. "I'm sorry, Boss. But we failed to track the young master's location."

Nathan ground his teeth while clenching his fists. He was worried about the young boy who suddenly had gone missing. What if his enemies kidnapped the kid? He would never forgive himself if something bad happened to him.

Everyone was waiting for Nathan to say another word when the door was pushed open and an old man wearing a white tux emerged from it.

"Hey!! What have you done to my grandson? Little Ethan had gone missing in your own territory?! How would you face his mother's grave? You should mobilize your men and find him as soon as possible!" The old man spoke spontaneously, scolding the mighty CEO in front of his subordinates.

Axel glanced at the old man–the only person who had the guts to talk back against their Big Boss! Everyone was already having a hard time, pacifying their Big Boss. And here comes Old Man Xu, another person whom they couldn't afford to offend. Those words coming from the old man's mouth just added fuel to the fire.

Axel and the other bodyguards already wanted to dig a hole where they could hide before Nathan Sparks and Old Man Xu could carve them alive– one by one… for their negligence and carelessness!

But they were aware that even hiding would not work as Nathan and this old man would not stop hunting them until every person responsible for the disappearance of the little young master would be punished.

Today was supposed to be a happy occasion as Old Man Xu was celebrating his 65th birthday tonight. Who would have thought that this would end up in a great mess as Little Ethan went missing after going to the mall to buy some gifts for his grandfather?

Unable to bear the pressure, Little Ethan's nanny dropped to her knees and begged for forgiveness. "Sir, please forgive me. It's my fault. I know my life is not enough to pay for my mistakes."

The nanny was crying non-stop. Aside from losing her job, she knew that she would be dead if the little young master couldn't be found. Little Ethan was the only precious thing left to Nathan after Ethan's mother was killed.

"Huh! So it's you who lost my grandson. Tell me! Did you connive with our enemies?! Did you sell information to them? How much money did they give you?" Old Man Xu was about to grab the nanny by her collar and strangle her to death but Nathan stopped him by his elbow.

"No! N–Nooo sir… I didn't do it, sir! I swear!" The nanny's voice was trembling in fear.

"Dad! Can you just go out?! I will deal with her personally," Nathan ordered his father while rubbing his temples.

"This wouldn't happen if you didn't teach him how to sneak out from his bodyguards!" Nathan added, reprimanding Old Man Xu as well.

Old Man Xu pouted his lips upon meeting Nathan's sharp gaze. He heaved a sigh of defeat. His son was right. He was partly at fault here. They had to find the little boy before their enemies could do something bad against the boy. They couldn't afford to lose another family member, otherwise, Nathan would go on a rampage once again and there would be another bloodshed!

"Damn! I won't just wait here, doing nothing. I will search for my grandson personally!" Old Man Xu declared to them.

Old Man Xu was about to leave the room when suddenly, there was a knock outside. Since he was already standing closest to the entrance, Old Man Xu was the one who pulled the steel knob, opening the door wide.

He furrowed his brows as he found it odd when he saw no one. Incidentally, he lowered his head and was baffled. "Little… Ethan??!!!"

"Gramps!" The little boy greeted his grandfather cheerfully.

His loud voice made everyone look at the front door, including Nathan who was already very stressed by this incident.

"Little Ethan! My grandson, where have you been?!" Old Man Xu picked him up and hugged him tightly as if they hadn't seen each other for a century.

Everyone inside the office rejoiced inwardly as though they found their angel who just saved them from their deaths. They felt relieved for having survived this disaster called the Devil's Wrath!

Meanwhile, Nathan walked towards the door with large strides. "What happened to you?" he asked the young boy with a hint of both worry and relief in his eyes.

Ethan twisted his body to get down from Old Man Xu's arms. Having escaped the tight grip of his grandfather, Little Ethan turned to Nathan and seized his hand. And with a charming smile on his face, he answered him cheerfully, "Dad! I've finally found her. My wife-to-be!"

Nathan: "..."

Old Man Xu: "..."

Nanny: "..."

Bodyguards: "..."

Amidst the silence of everyone, the young boy continued speaking his mind in front of his beloved father and grandfather.

"I got lost in the mall and bumped into this beautiful lady. Dad, I brought her here for you to meet her. She agreed to be my date for Gramps' birthday party tonight!"

Chapter 4: The New Rising Star

Axel and the other bodyguards tried their best to hold their laughter. The heavy atmosphere was long gone and it had been replaced by a cheerful one because of their little young master who was very enthusiastic about finding his future wife!

At the same time, Old Man Xu burst out into a peal of laughter before patting the young boy's head. Little Ethan was too young to get a wife and marry someone. But he could understand the boy's inner feelings. He might be longing for a mother's love. And Nathan could never give that to him.

Since his father, Nathan, didn't show any interest in women, Ethan might have given up the idea of finding a new mother and a wife for Nathan. The little boy had been asking Nathan if he likes another woman or if he would like to marry someone. But this cold-hearted man just ignored his question, changing the topic as always.

So instead of saying he found a wife-to-be for Nathan, he just claimed it as his wife-to-be.

On the other hand, Nathan was already looking at Old Man Xu with his scrutinizing gaze. Nothing was funny about this so he got annoyed because, instead of correcting his grandson's line of thought, this old man just chose to laugh out loud!

But he was not in the right place to lecture the old man since Nathan, himself, was also spoiling Little Ethan and granting his every wish (except for marrying a woman)!

Not wanting to hurt the boy's feelings, Nathan maintained his neutral expression in front of Little Ethan. But deep inside, he was already constructing a statement, explaining to Ethan that he was still too young to marry someone!

"Dad, are you mad at me? Why are you not saying a word? Your gaze looks frightening! You are scaring Uncle Axel, my nanny, and the bodyguards here," Little Ethan put on a pitiful look when he delivered those words.

Axel bit his lower lip trying to suppress his laughter, but he was having a hard time holding back. Aside from Old Man Xu, Little Ethan was the only person who could tell their Big Boss straight to his face that he was scary!

Meanwhile, the nanny and the bodyguards glanced at Little Ethan with their dreamy eyes. He was indeed their salvation! This Devil won't lay a finger at them if their little Angel was there, supporting and protecting them.

"I'm not mad. I'm not scaring them," Nathan plainly said, defending himself. Then he stared at his men, giving them a warning look.

'Liar! Boss, you are a big liar!' Axel thought to himself while smiling sheepishly at Nathan. The other bodyguards just looked away, feigning ignorance.

"Dad! Don't worry. I'm certain that you will like her! She is as beautiful as my Mom!"

Old Man Xu just smiled cheerfully, ignoring Nathan's deathly glare. He even raised his two thumbs as support to Little Ethan's claim.

"Good job, my grandson! I can't wait to meet your 'future wife'." The old man said meaningfully, his eyes fixed on his son's face as if those words were intended for Nathan, not to Little Ethan.

'Yeah, maybe Big Boss just needs a woman in his life for us to finally relax.'

Others already wished for their CEO to find someone who would control his temper. Nathan was very strict and aloof towards his staff and employees. He seldom smiles. He was in a grumpy mood most of the time.

But his attitude was very different when in front of their young master's presence. He was very doting, pampering the young boy as if he was his rule.

"Dad, come with me. I'll bring you to her," Little Ethan swayed his arm with a slight pull.

Nathan hesitated long for a moment but his wall collapsed almost immediately after seeing Ethan's pleading eyes and pitiful expression.

He couldn't refuse him and reluctantly said "Okay. Let's go."

"Yes!" The young boy jumped in excitement.

Even the bodyguards and other staff rejoiced inwardly, almost shouting the word 'Yes!' which the young master had just uttered.

Following Nathan from behind, Ethan motioned Old Man Xu and Axel to stay behind. Everyone in the room heaved a sigh of relief when the mighty CEO and the little young master finally left the office. Yes! They had just survived a calamity!

*****

Meanwhile, waiting in the lobby of the SYP Twilight Corporation Building, a woman in a plain white shirt matched with a denim jacket and blue pants was silently observing her surroundings like a hawk!

When someone would pass by her corner and take a glance at her, she would lower her black cap and fix her mask to hide her face from the public.

She was very cautious not to be seen by others. Currently, she's the hottest topic in the news and internet headlines.

~~**News Headlines**~~

[ Abigail "Abi" Scarlett, a new rising star in the Entertainment Industry, was rushed to the hospital! ]

[ Abigail Scarlett, an actress of the Star Corp Entertainment, commits suicide by jumping off the 13th Floor at Centerville Hotel! ]

If anyone could see her, people might wonder. She was supposed to be in a critical condition, lying in the ICU and being treated by the doctor. But here she was alive and unharmed as if she didn't fall from the 13th floor of the building!

People, who saw her body bathing in her own blood in front of the Centerville Hotel just three hours ago, would think that this was a miracle!

But little did they know, someone else's soul was now occupying the body of this new rising star.

"Where is he?" she murmured to herself, sweeping her eyes across the lobby as she searched for someone. Seconds later, her gaze stopped in the direction of the elevator. She caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

When the man raised his head, their eyes accidentally met for a moment, his pair of blue eyes settling on her emerald ones. She felt like she had forgotten to breathe because of his penetrating gaze.

'Uh-oh, here comes the Devil!'
