"Keteki book me a flight first thing in the morning." Faridah said as Keteki was confuse. "But you already agreed about having a vacation and coming home by Monday." Keteki said as Faridah looked at him.
"Book it now." she said seriously.
In the airport, Faridah's grandparents were sad that she have to leave immediately together with her parents as something urgent came.
"We will miss you my dear grand daughter. Please take good care of yourself okay?!" her grandmother said as Faridah smiled sadly.
"I will," she answered as her parents looked at Keteki since they knew that there is something that bothering Faridah yet Keteki just shrugged as he didn't know too.
When they arrive at Canada, Faridah immediately went to her office as Kyle was waiting for her including his mother Gabriela Greyson.
"What's the rush here Faridah?" Feliz Hamilton asked as she looked inside Faridah's office and it was Kyle.
"What is it that you want to talk about?" Faridah asked as her head starts spinning because of jetlag.
"Tell me about my father's death, Is it true that the Hamilton's are the culprit?" he asked bluntly that made everyone go to silence.
"Did you kill my father?" he asked again.
"Where did you get this information Kyle?" Keteki asked as Kyle didn't bother answering him.
"Just answer me!" Kyle shouted as Faridah knew that this day would come.
"Yes I am the culprit." she answered plainly.
"I called Shoji and asked him to contact Gab and Solis assassin to do the job." she added.
"When you called Shoji and asked him to tell the assassin's under Gab and Solis to kill those people, Did you ever thought about they have family to go home to? A family that is waiting for them?" Kyle asked as Faridah can't even looked at him.
"Does having money and power make you forget about humanity and empathy?" he asked again.
"Tell me, are all of this worth it for all those lives that's been gone because of your wrath and madness?!" Kyle shouted as he threw all the paperwork on the table.
"TALK TO ME FARIDAH! DON'T SHUT YOUR MOUTH RIGHT NOW!" He shouted as Faridah just looked at him in the eyes as she smiled sadly. Kyle looked at him horribly like he was some sort of evil goddess
"After the news of 30 men died that night without any trace. My parents knew that it was all because of me as they track those families to give compensation as an apology. Everyone shut up yet one family refuses the offer of money as the child says that his father's life shouldn't be bought like that." Faridah explained.
"My parents talked to your mother and they agreed on behalf of your fathers death that we should try and date in the future so you can have a better future with the Hamilton rather than being the Greyson's son." Faridah explained.
"So my Mom and your parents are not actually best friends?" Kyle asked as Faridah shake her head.
"No..." Faridah answered as she stand tall and firmly face him. "Since you won't accept a money for compensation, My parents decided to make me the compensation. I am your compensation in your father's death." Faridah explained as Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton avoided Kyle's gaze.
"It was my fault for not telling you Son." Mrs. Gabriella said as she kneeled down in front of Kyle.
"The Hamilton's helped us! Your father was a dangerous man and -"
"And you were okay with them killing him as long as you get your money." Kyle continued as Mrs. Gabriella looked too stunned to speak.
"I need air." Kyle said as he looked at Keteki as Keteki. "Just leave me alone for awhile." He said as he walked out from Faridah's office as Mrs. Gabriella starts crying heavily.
Faridah didn't say a word and just went back to working.
"Aren't you going after him Ma'am?" Keteki asked as Faridah clenched her fist.
"As long as Kyle is wearing the ring, I know he will come back to me." Faridah said as Keteki smiled at her.
Kyle went to a nearby park to take a breathe as he cannot accept that everything happened to him and his family.
"How can my Mom just accept that compensation?" he asked himself as he knew that her Mom is a better person and will not sell out her family.
On the other side, Kathrine was taking a stroll in the park together with her bodyguards as she saw Kyle on the bench looking down and depressed.
"Hey, Are you okay?" She asked as Kyle looked up and was stunned looking at Kathrine.
"Your here in Canada?" Kyle asked as Kathrine nodded and sits beside him. "I went to have a vacation here after attending the Hamilton's Auction." she answered.
"How was it?" he asked as Kathrine looked at him and smiled. "It was nice and the Red Diamond was sold a million more than the famous blue diamond." Kathrine said as Kyle smiled sadly.
"I see, I'm glad that it went well." He said as Kathrine knew that there is something wrong with him.
"What's the problem? You seem down." she asked as Kyle sigh. "I don't know if I should tell you anything." He said as Kathrine laughed.
"Come on now, They said that it's better to share some stuffs with a stranger since you will receive no judgement from them." she said as Kyle looked at her.
"How did you know Faridah?" he asked as she smiled.
"I knew her since the day that I was born. After all she's the Hamilton's only daughter." she said. "We don't get along that well since she hated my spoiled side but in terms with business we are both a good partner in that industry." she explained as she opened a lollipop.
"Did you heard about the thirty businessman that died on the same day?" he asked again as Kathrine stopped and smiled sadly.
"Yeah I know." she said as she starts eating the lollipop.
"My Dad was one of those businessman." She added. "Really? My Dad was one of it too. Don't you feel any grudge towards Faridah?!" Kyle asked as Kathrine's expression become serious.
"He was a dangerous man, If Faridah didn't end their lives then their families will be the payment for the money they get." she explained. "In the world of business there are just two choices. It's to save others or to save yourself yet Faridah didn't just killed those men just because she wanted revenge from them." she explained.
"Faridah knew that their families lives will be in danger because of their underground transactions. Ending their lives in order to save others is not a bad thing for me to hold grudge on her." Kathrine said.
"How can a child like you understand the wrath that I felt?" Kyle asked as Kathrine smiled.
"I don't since I knew that if my father didn't die that day I will be the one suffering. Did you know what kind of organization they got themselves into?" Kathrine asked as she keep on eating her lollipop.
"No," Kyle answered.
"It is a Shadow Trafficking Syndicate." she said.
A Shadow Trafficking Syndicate is a covert and highly dangerous criminal organization that specializes in illegal money trafficking operations, including laundering, smuggling, and embezzlement on a global scale.
These syndicates operate under an unbreakable code of secrecy enforced through fear and violence. Any individual or business partner who gains knowledge of or exposes their contracts or activities faces severe retaliation, including threats or execution, not only targeting the individual but extending to their families to ensure compliance and silence.
This ruthless approach allows the syndicate to maintain absolute power and elude detection from law enforcement or rival entities.
"You don't quiet get it on how much responsibility that was weight on Faridah's shoulder that time. A eighteen year old girl had to decide on people's lives that day." she added.
"At first I was angry but after hearing the organization that my father got himself into made me glad that Faridah killed him." she said as Kyle starts crying.
"I know it must be hard for you especially that Faridah had become your lover but she was a good person." she said as she stands up. "I should be going now, Shoji will be mad after hearing that I sneak out from my hotel." she said.
"Shoji..."
"Hmm? What about him?" She asked.
"Do you know where I can find him? I want to talk to him." he said as Kathrine smiled.
Shoji was told by Faridah to look after Kathrine since Kathrine told Keteki that she wants to have a vacation in Canada. Shoji become her trusted assistant to make her have a good time here in Canada. She didn't expect that he will meet Kyle in the park and with Kyle's request it makes Kathrine giggle in excitement.
"Sure, As long as you grant me one wish."
