Way Of Me
Part 12's

" What are you doing ? You almost got my daughter killed "angry Mr. Rick to Jackson when they just got out of Dave's nursery.

They both walked away from the room.

" I'm so sorry. I've punished my careless men "said Jackson.

" I shouldn't have approved of your idea that only put Zoey in danger. If only he hadn't come to rescue my daughter soon, I don't know what would've happened to Zoey " said Mr. Rick.

" Oh, please Mr. Rick... ! I admit, my man was stupid and careless because he could not tell if the person in the house was Zoey. But, you're also guilty of letting Zoey come to that place and putting her in danger " Jackson won't continue to be blamed.

" Ck, that man should have been missing by now. But he still fared well " Jackson added as he grumbled.

" Hush ! He saved my daughter at the cost of his own life "mister Rick's whistle.

" Well, whoa... Apparently you have started to sympathize with the poor man "sayred Jackson with a sharp look.

" Of course. Because thanks to her, Zoey is doing well at the moment" said Mr. Rick stared back at Jack.

" Cih, don't forget if this is our plan together. You're the one who asked me to close the business so that Zoey doesn't leave your side. So stop blaming me because you're in on this too ! " hardik Jackson while pointing at Mr. Rick.

Mr. Rick rubbed his face rough then inhaled a deep breath of air before finally exhaling it.

" Ok Jack... I'm sorry ! I shouldn't blame you. It's all because I'm so afraid of losing my daughter" said Mr. Rick, aware of the mistake.

" It's not just you who's afraid of losing Zoey. I am scared just like you. I'm grateful Zoey survived. And I was also happy to see that man lying weak . I'm sure that guy will be handicapped later. We just need to get that selfless man to leave Zoey of his own accord. If that happens, it will be easier for me to get Zoey back to me " Jackson said with a malicious grin.

Mr. Rick nodded in agreement. To be honest, he was expecting that Zoey and Dave were separated. But seeing Dave's sacrifice, his feelings were a little stirred up. However, Mr. Rick soon reaffirms his determination to get his daughter separated and married to Jackson. For him, wealth and power are the main.

Meanwhile, a man was walking towards a warehouse. After his men managed to catch the master hit-and-run, then he immediately came to see with his own eyes.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty room. There was a man tied to a chair. His hands and feet were tied and his mouth was covered with plaster.

Master Luke walked up to the man. He poured water on the man, making him blink his eyes. He looked up when he saw the man standing before him.

" You're awake ! You realize what your mistake was ! " snaps Luke with his sharp gaze.

While the sitting man could only swallow his saliva. He could have predicted, this would happen soon. But he tried to calm down, not showing his current fear.

Luke forcibly plaster the plaster that covered his mouth.

The young man showed a bitter smile, trying to endure the pain of Luke's forced pull.

" The basic is not knowing yourself ! Is this how you return the favor to Mr Max after the good he has given you ? " snaps Luke again by continuing to give his sharp gaze.

The young man grinned,

" Goodness ? What good has he given me ? He did give me good but also took away my happiness. He is not a human but a human-like demon "

Plaak !

Tears dripped from the corner of the man's eyes, while Master Luke clenched his hands tightly.

The young man looked at Master Luke with a no less stern gaze.

" Yes, just slap me ! Slap, hit, or you just kill me ! It's so much better than making my life suffer like this "screeched the man.

" What am I living for ? My mother left me, even my own father dumped me. I do live not short of treasures but I lack affection. So just kill me ! " the screams are full of emotion.

" Silent ! " snaps Master Luke again.

He walked up to the man, then pulled his collar.

" It seems that I have given you too much leeway to make you feel determined" said Mr. Luke.

" Yes, there's too much leeway you've given me to forget that I need a father's attention, too. After mom died, you were more with that guy. Busier to be his accomplice than to pay attention as a father. You think I need all your possessions and power ? No ! I'm sick of all that stuff that has to do with your Mr. Max. Because of that, I hit him. I hope he dies soon. Dear... Apparently the stock of his life is still not reduced "said the young man again no matter if what he said again sparked anger in Luke.

Bugh !

This time a punch he lay on the young man's face. Not only a punch in the face, he even threw a punch on the stomach also kicked the man who was tied to the chair until he fell over with the condition still tied to the chair.

Instead of apologizing, the man laughed loudly, making Luke pull his gun and point it at the man.

" Come on, just shoot me ! Kill me right now. Why else would I live "her scream provokes Luke.

" Stop, Luke ! What are you doing ? What by killing him, can you live in peace ? "

Mr. Max's heavy voice stopped Luke from pulling the trigger.

" But he has made you wretched, sir. Even you have to die " Luke said still hasn't dropped his gun.

" That's true, but you also have to remember. If it wasn't for his actions, I probably wouldn't have met my grandson " replied Mr. Max again.

He walked over, then lowered the gun held by Luke.

" Luke, wake up ! He is your real son. Should be if he's guilty you talked to him. Find out what caused it, not judging it let alone punishing it with violence" Mr Max advised Luke.

" But Sir....I failed to educate him. I can't make him a good man " said Luke crazily.

" Luke, I know you're a good father. What your son said is true. Because of your loyalty to me, you forgot your family. I'm sorry, Luke ! All of this happened because of my mistake ", said Mr. Max again.

Mr. Max is now walking towards the young man who has now been untied by his man.

" Kean, I'm sorry to have taken your father's time together all this time. I know how you feel, you're just looking for your dad's attention. I don't blame you " said Mr. Max, patting the young man on the shoulder.

" You two talk from heart to heart. Kean, you've conveyed all your grievances to your father. Let your father know what you're feeling and want all this time "

" And you Luke, spend some time with your son. You don't know what it's like to lose your family. So cherish your time with your child while he is still by your side "Mister Max added, then walked away leaving them both.

" After the trouble between you is over, you can only meet me "said Mr. Max again, then get out of the place with his guards.
