Settling everything about Aiden, Justin decided to return home. Before leaving, he watched Aiden through the glass wall of the ICU, his thoughts unknown.
"Twin brother, huh?" Vincent said as he stood next to Justin. "I wonder how James Harper missed out on his other son like this, or..."
"If you keep poking your nose where you shouldn’t, I’m sure Dominic Castello will miss out on his one and only son," Justin warned.
Vincent chuckled. "How do you know I’m the only son? I’m sure at least one of my father’s mistresses must have borne siblings for me."
"Then go and look out for them instead of my siblings," Justin said and turned around to leave.
Vincent laughed playfully as he watched Justin leave and said, "When Aiden wakes up, I’ll tell him how sad and worried you were for him."
"Do it if you don’t want to lose that nasty tongue of yours," Justin warned and left.
Vincent stopped smiling and turned to look at Aiden, his expression serious now. ’You better make it out alive. I don’t want my sweetheart to feel sad seeing the one she talked to during her worst time is already dead. You can die once she meets you. I promise, I’ll gladly bring a huge bouquet of flowers to your grave every year.’

At Justin’s Home
Mia and Cathy were ready to leave after enjoying a nice breakfast and a little more chatting time with Natalie.
"Spending girls’ night together after so long was just fun," Cathy said as she hugged Natalie. "I missed so much by staying away from you two."
Mia offered her a bored look. "Yeah, but I’m sure you don’t regret it after earning a huge load of money from your job abroad."
Cathy looked at her. "Well, money makes up for everything for middle-class people like me. That being said, there are a few things we need to add to my work contract with your company. For example, a nice car so I can reach the office on time. I don’t like taking subways, etc."
"Why don’t you ask for a luxury apartment as well?" Mia said sarcastically.
Cathy grinned. "Oh, I was just getting there..."
"I would rather not hire you," Mia said as she walked towards her car. "You’re too expensive for me to hire. I’ll cancel the contract..."
Cathy immediately hurried after Mia. "Hehe, don’t be so serious. A car will do. About my stay, Natalie has already given me permission to stay in her home."
Mia glared at Natalie. "You’re spoiling this bitch. She only knows how to earn, and when it comes to spending, she’s dead poor."
Natalie smirked. "Let her be. We can’t let her be homeless, can we?"
Mia observed the smirk on Natalie’s lips and narrowed her eyes, as if concluding there was something on Natalie’s mind. "Alright."
Just then, a black luxury car entered the manor’s gate, catching their attention.
Natalie realized that it was Justin. ’He had gone in the chopper and returned in the car? Will he tell me where he went? Should I ask him or wait for him to tell me on his own?’
