Beyond the agreement

"Dad! What did you do to Owen?" Sean looked at Dad. While Markus just smiled slantedly in response to his son's question.

Casually, Markus sipped a glass of wine in his hand.

"Why? You mad? You don't want that throne, do you?" he said back to asking the child.

"Yes! But our original plan was for Owen to turn himself in and take over again. Isn't that what you wanted? All of this is Owen's right! Why did you stab him?" sean's pissed off.

"I thought so at first, but I changed my mind!"

"Why? Are you really going to give it all to Richard? Remember dad! Richard has no blood relation to us!"

Markus shook his head faintly. "But I trust him more than Owen! He's more ambitious than Owen who's willing to take this dark life."

"But Dad--"

"Alright, Sean! Even if Owen takes over everything, are you sure he won't be avenging what you did yesterday that fooled him?" Mark smiled sneering at his own son. That's when a bodyguard came into the room.

"He's been taken care of, sir. Then just wait for your orders," explained the Plontos-headed Bodyguard.

Markus waved his hand telling the man to pass immediately after giving an explanation. "Ah, one more ... take care of the baby and make sure his wife also has to die. Owen will have a new life after this!" it is the word of the bodyguard.

Hearing that, Sean turned to his father.

"You're totally outrageous Dad! I'm helping you on Jeff's abduction mission, with the goal of having Owen turn himself in and return to the throne. But, your actions are beyond our agreement!" furious Sean.

In the next instant, Sean turned around, he galloped towards the exit.

"Don't interfere with my business, Sean! It's enough you don't want to inherit the throne. After this, let everything be my business!" Markus' words made Sean pause for a moment. But after that, he actually left in front of his father.

Jared's return without Owen made the Mansion even more chaotic.

"Where's Owen, Jared?" Gloria scouts Jared as she looks around but does not find her husband.

Jared responded with just a sluggish slab.

"What do you mean?" Gloria looked at Jared with a hard-to-understand look.

"Sir is in a different room to me. When I forced my way in, I couldn't find her there anymore, ma'am!" jared brightly with a trembling voice.

The sound of Oxela's cry brought the question and answer session between Gloria and Jared to a halt.

"Uncle Mark must have hurt my brother" Oxela said as she sat down.

"No, isn't he your late father's sister? Why would he hurt Owen?" ask Jade chimed in.

"That's it, but Uncle Mark's character is hard to guess." Oxela was crying hysterically.

While Gloria, she somehow felt at this moment. Jeff has not yet returned to his lap, now he must accept the unclear reality of Owen's existence. Is her husband still alive? Or just dead? He doesn't know. His tears poured out profusely but he could not make a sobbing sound like his sister-in-law. His feelings at this moment were hard to say. If there was a word worse than being destroyed, it might be what he was currently feeling.

With a gontai step, he walked towards the entrance threshold. Making everyone who was there look at his departure with astonishment.

"Gloria, what do you want there? Comein! It's getting late!" jade gave me advice.

Gloria didn't say. He was dissolved in his own world. Staring blankly at the yard of the house.

Oxela slowly stopped crying, she and Jade looked at each other for feeling an unpleasant feeling.

"I'll stand here, stay here waiting for Jeff and Owen to return." said Gloria expressionlessly and did not look at Oxela.

At that instant, Oxela was pictured with her late mother. Was her mother like Gloria? He did not know this because he was too young to see his depressed mother as a result of his father's death. But, is it true now that Gloria is experiencing the same thing because of not the return of Owen and Jeff to their Mansion?

With trembling hands, Oxela tried to grab Gloria's shoulder, she grabbed the woman and tried to take her into a hug.

"I know you're very surprised by this, but please don't do this." Oxela said, hugging Gloria.

Gloria shook her head, then took off Oxela's embrace. "What is it you are, Xela? We don't have to cry for Owen. He'll be back, he'll be back soon! He just needs a little longer to take Jeff from his uncle!" gloria said smiling but her cheeks flooded with tears.

Oxela clenched Gloria fast. "Gloria, don't do this, please," he said back sobbing.

Jade approached the two, worried about the two women.

"Darling, let Gloria calm down first! You also need to calm down. Come in to our room. I'll talk to Gloria," said Jade wisely. He mediated because these two women seemed to really need calm.

While Gloria, Jade believes that Owen's wife must be more shocked than Oxela. Obviously, two meaningful people in Gloria's life have not returned to the woman's side, but since then Gloria has been enthusiastic to welcome Owen's return which she thought would bring Jeff back.

"Gloria, I'm sure whatever Owen's situation is right now. You don't have to worry, your husband's been in this kind of world since he was a kid." Jade gave words that might calm Gloria down.

"But I want to wait for him. I'll welcome his return with Jeff" said Gloria.

"Yes, he'll be back, but he'll be mad if he sees you standing in front of a door like this. Rest first, wait for him in your room."

"All right, I'll go back to the room. But, can you tell him later? I mean, if she comes home later tell her to meet me straight away," Gloria asked with a pleading face.

"I'll tell him," Jade said forcing a smile.

Gloria passes Jared's frozen body near the living room couch.

"Jared, your jokes are outrageous! Owen will be back. He just picked up Jeff. You should've waited for him earlier, not gone home first!" gloria said before actually leaving the room.

Jared breathed heavily. He was sure Gloria was shocked by this fact. He looked at Jade who was also looking at him.

"What's your next plan? Did you see if they killed Owen?" ask Jade while rubbing her face violently.

"I don't know yet, Sir. I didn't see Mr. Zwart, but I saw blood splattered. I'm sure it's his blood."

"God...." Jade breathed a long breath. "What if they really finish Owen off?" choked. He did not know how to calm the two women in this house. Especially Gloria. Not to mention the fate of Jeff who is also Jade worried, however he loved the little baby.

Their conversation was sidetracked by hearing the sound of a roaring car. The attention of the two then turned to look at the door of the Mansion which was still wide open.

A double-cab car stopped right in front of the yard.

The pace sounded quite loud because the atmosphere of the day was starting to get late and quiet. Not waiting long, a familiar face arrived. In front of Jade and Jared.

"Where's Gloria? He should get out of here as soon as possible!" said the figure.
