The announcent shook all the dia outlets, no one had expected that the illegitimate children were already working inside their father's companies.
"We're going on a trip." Cedric told Ian and Mae.
"Wait, you're still not fully healed." Jo said as he tried to stop Cedric from leaving. "Doc Miguel said I needed to keep you at ho and rested the whole day."
"Mae, tell them to et us at the police station, Ian tell Damien I want to talk to the n that assaulted . Make sure to switch off the CCTVs in the police station and in the surrounding areas." Cedric continued to bark out orders, ignoring Jo.
Katerina laughed at Cedric. "You are way too petty." Katerina teased.
"Well at least I didn't beat them up." Cedric said with a shrug as he looked at Alexi.
"What? No one could help you and they were way out of line, Ray and I had no choice but to take things into our own hands." Alexi said with a shrug as he recalled the beating he and Ray had given Cedric's bullies.
"You can call Miguel if you want, but he can't stop Cedric." Eric told Jo with a shrug.
Jo simply sighed and let Cedric be.
"It's done." Ian said as he returned from making several calls.
"Do you guys want to co?" Cedric asked his friends.
"Of course" Katerina said excitedly as she got up. "I'm sorry Eric, let's et back at ho." Katerina said with a wink as she kissed her boyfriend passionately on the lips.
Eric smiled and nodded. "I'll go ahead. I'll see you tonight." He told Katerina with a wink as he got up and left.
"Lend a car?" Katerina asked, she had arrived in Eric's car so she needed her own ride to get ho later.
"Yeah, you can take the phantom while Alexi can just bring his car. You are coming along right?" Cedric checked with his friend.
"Of course I am." Alexi said with a devious grin.
Cedric's phone began to ring, he glared at Jo, it seed his friend had ratted him out. He looked at the screen of his phone, it was Adrianna calling. Cedric already knew what to expect, she wouldn't be happy with what he was about to do.
"Hey honey." Cedric said in the sweetest tone he could muster.
"Cedric Reyes, don't you dare do what I think you're planning." Adrianna warned in a stern tone over the phone. She was having lunch with her uncle Matthew and cousin Henry, when Mia and her assistant ca in informing her of the latest news. She already had a gut feeling that her husband would do sothing illogical again and her guess was only confird when Jo gave her a call.
"I won't place myself in danger, I swear." Cedric said in a calm and loving tone as he tried to convince his wife not to worry.
"How can I trust you? You're still injured because of the last ti you decided to be petty." Adrianna said in a raised tone. The event he was talking about was just last night.
"I'll co in a wheelchair, Jo will accompany , Alexi and Katerina will also be there." Cedric said as he hoped that his friends' presence would help convince Adrianna to trust that he would be alright. "This ti all of my bodyguards can surround , don't worry Adri, I won't be reckless this ti."
When Alexi heard Cedric's promise he ended up laughing, earning him a glare from Cedric who was still trying to coax his wife.
"I'll be safe Adri. I promise." Cedric said in a final bid to convince his wife.
"Fine, it's not like I can stop you." Adrianna said with a sigh as she dropped the call.
"Errrr… Ian, can you get a reservation at Deloca." Cedric said. "And a bouquet of red roses for tonight."
"That bad?" Ian asked with a laugh. "What's with Deloca?"
"It's where I proposed, and yes that bad." Cedric said with a sigh. His wife had said fine and she dropped the call, he knew he was in big trouble.
"They are already on the way to the police station." Mae said as she finished arranging everything.
Cedric nodded and led his group to leave the Mountain View Mansion.
Alexi drove his own flashy sports car while Katerina rode in Cedric's Rolls Royce Phantom, Cedric asked Mae to accompany her in case Katerina needed anything. Aside from being his friend's sister Katerina was also Cedric's lawyer so her presence was more business that casual.
As Cedric's car sped along the highway to the police station he looked out pensively, he thought of what those bullies had done to him in the past. How much he had to suffer because of them.
Seven years ago
"Worthless." Dennis Von said as he spat at Cedric's face. "I told you to buy a better condom and now that bitch says she's pregnant. What if I made you pay for the child support!" He shouted at Cedric as he punched him in the gut.
"Ha, Cedric is really good for nothing." Kevin Garcia said as he lit his cigarette.
It was late at night, Kevin and Dennis had dragged Cedric out of his drom to a dark alley to beat him up. A few months ago Dennis had asked Cedric to run to a convenience store to buy him a condom, Cedric did as he asked and never thought about the incident again.
"I always buy you the sa brand, the one you keep saying is the best quality." Cedric answered back. He really did buy the best one, Cedric's guess was that the girl poked holes in the condom to get pregnant. Dennis was always boasting about how wealthy his family was, so it was no wonder that a lot of gold diggers ended up in his bed.
"Shut up!" Dennis shouted as he kicked Cedric, making his vision go dark.
Cedric snapped out of his trance as he noticed his car pulling up to the police station. He wore his disguise as Jo prepared the wheelchair for him.
Today he would be finally putting his bullies in their place, he would be showing them that he was soone they could never afford to offend, not now, not ever.
