Gabriel's eyes darkened as he pulls out his laptop from his locker. He has been stopping himself, resisting from hacking the CCTV camera of the house since all these days but since he was pushed, he had no choice but to do this. Curious to see what Victoria is up to, he press a few code on the computer, his face all serious and after a few period of time, he could access all the CCTV in cameras in the house.
He fished out Victoria's study and clicked on it, revealing Victoria who sat majestically on the soft plush cushion, her leg gently placed on the opposite table while her secretary massage her shoulders.

'What do you think about Gabriel?' she asked, raising a glass of juice to her mouth to take a sip.
'Though the second young master seems to be a ticking time bomb, he is still quite reliable. I don't think we should discard him easily.'
'If he knows about Nathan's case, won't he get out of control?'
'Two years ago, he knew about the third young master but he didn't report. Plus there has always been feud between him and the first master, I don't think he would back out now.'
'What if he do?'
'Then we put him in a position whereby he can't do.'
'meaning?'
'Both him and Lucky had figure out our plan. What if we use him to get rid of Lucky and use Lucky to keep him in check?'
******
'Ugh! Want me to get blood on my hands.' Gabriel snorted, fiddling with his pen.
So, she decided to use him to kill Lucky then blackmail him with it. Uh! Such tricks can never work on him. Not when he is raised in her wickedness.
Then lets see who get rid of whom in the end.
**Back to present**
'Nathan! Gabriel! You bastards! I gave birth to you! I am your mother fucking mother. I carry your goddarm pregnancy for nine damn months. How dare you do these to me? How dare you get me arrested? And you Lucky, I brought you all the way from Mexico and helped your damn life, how dare you plot against me. Why didn't you die? If I get hold of any of you, I would end your life with my both hands. This is not the end, I would get my revenge.' She chanted loudly as the police took her away, her voice lowering till was no longer heard.
Nathan sighed and was about turning back when a hand patted his shoulder.
'We have done our part, sort things out with your in-laws' Lucky said with a cocky smile, his hand sitting on Nathan's shoulder.
'it's gonna be though and as the greedy guy, I got to run away before… hell break loose.' Gabriel added, having the same weird smile that lucky carried.
'Good luck!' the both chorused then turn back to leave simultaneously, as if they have both plan what to say before hard.
Nathan gulped down the hard lump in his throat, suddenly sweating all over. He was being cool just moment ago but as he turn to look Amethyst and her parents, his pulse dropped.
Goldie finally stopped spinning Amethyst around and hugging her which make Amethyst took in a sharp breath, relieved. Her lips pinched as she saw the tears brimming in Goldie's eyes again.
'It's okay Gold, everything is fine now.' Killian said and his hand curled around her back, comforting her even before Amethyst could react. Goldie instead, flung his hand away and barked.
'Stay away from me! I don't need you in my life. You can go back to your mother that babysit you all the time.'
'Uh! father-in-law, you are even worse than me' Nathan mocked deep within, his mind coming to rest. He is no longer the only offender; he now has a partner in crime.
'I'm sorr….'
'I don't want to hear it, go back to living in the shadows. And don't think of ever claiming Amethyst, she has nothing to do with you. She is my daughter, mine alone.' She finalized, holding Amethyst possessively. She turn back to walk Amethyst away but halted when she saw Nathan standing there, looking at them like a cat who had offended its master.
This time while glaring at him, he is no longer the Nathan her daughter need to see before she survive, he is the dangerous university boy that enchanted her daughter with good looks, pushing her to death door.
He deserved to be punished. Maybe… she should smash his handsome face.

'Don't mind those losers Ammy, we are on our own.' Goldie said while Amethyst smiled fakely and sat down on the couch, pretending to fix her gaze on the TV while her mind is all on Nathan and her father that were standing outside, in the snow.
'Mom, don't you think we should let them in now?...
'let them in?! those petty pretty faces had to have a taste of their own medicine. I told you to not beg on their behalf, so you must not.'
'I'm not begging on their behalf. It's just that nath.. Nathan have little resistance to cold. If he collapse or something, we would end up being the one to pay his hospital bills. How about we let them in and do some laundries? They wouldn't know that we are worried about them…
'We are not worried about them. you are worried about Nathan but I am worried about no-one.' Goldie cut in.
'Oh, no wonder the air-freshener changed to Vanilla.' Amethyst mumbled and turned away, making sure that Goldie didn't hear her words. Killian is allergic to strawberry but Goldie liked it, Half of the flavor in the house is strawberry but on a whim, she changed everything to vanilla yet claimed she wasn't worried about him.
Every thirty minutes, she would pretend to stretch her body just to peep and see that he is fine. Yet she wasn't worried about him.
'Okay, just for the laundries.' She finally agreed, her face cold though Amethyst could see through the façade, the worry lying beneath it.
'Thank you mom.' Amethyst replied, her voice sarcastic.
Goldie stood up and pulled open the door, staring out arrogantly at where Nathan and killian suppose to stay but…. It was only Nathan there, killian nowhere to be found.
Where did he go?
