Chapter 2: Out of Prison

At prison, Stefan and his friends were having a deep conversation about a plan to finally escape after those hellish years of being stuck in jail. They missed feeling the sun shining on their skin and taking back what they deserve. Stefan lamented more.

Stefan: I hate this place so much already.

Stefan: We should find a way to escape because Brady is waiting for me. We can't stay here any longer.

Stefan: I should be having an extravagant life instead of wasting it in some poor jail.

Kade: How will we get out? The jailers are always monitoring our every move.

Roger: I think sneaking out is a very idiotic option.

Kade: Brady must be all grown up and intelligent to understand he needs his dad. He must miss you so much too.

Stefan: Just thinking how sad he felt not seeing his real dad in person for so many years fuels my heartbreak.

Stefan: We have to devise an escape plan. I won't let some peasant of a jailer control my highness like this.

Stefan: Time is ticking and I'm not getting any younger. I will win Christa back and raise Brady with her once we get out.

A few days later, Brady and his entire family already arrived inside a house near a beach island in Sulani. The beach house was small but cozy and easy on the eyes.

Brady: Everything looks amazing. I'm going to unpack my bags first.

Christa: You're right, honey. This house is so nice and relaxing.

Hugo: I'll bring our other bags inside as well. Need help with anything, Brady?

Brady: No, I'm fine dad. I'll bring everything to my empty room.

Brady went to his room and changed into his swimsuit and became shirtless. His family were planning to spend quality time near the shore at the beach and have fun in the water real soon.

Brennan: Walked in Brady's room and said. Dude, I can't wait to swim!

Brady: Haha I haven't done so either in a long time. I think I will choke you in the water first.

Brennan: No, I'll make sure to get away before you do.

Brady: With a smirk. Let's see what you'll do once I catch you.

Brennan: Smirked back. I wouldn't keep your head high if I were you. I'm not that easy to scare.

Brady: You bet. Just don't cry when I do scare you.

Christa and Hugo were swimming together in the ocean and they lovingly embraced each other. Christa was wearing a short white bikini and Hugo only wore a black and white swimsuit and sunglasses to look hot. Shortly after, they rested next to each other sitting on the ground covered with sand.

Christa: Haven't visited the ocean in a long time, sweetheart. I'm glad we eventually decided to come here.

Hugo: Me too, Christa. We needed this break and our boys love it too.

Christa: I'm so relieved Brady grew up to be a man with a heart of pure gold and a pure soul.

Christa: He reminds me nothing of the devil within that man.

Hugo: I still feel extremely bad about what I tried to make you do when you had him.

Hugo: But he's exactly the opposite of Stefan.

Christa: Look at him now. He's a good person because of us.

Christa: I'm very happy he didn't inherit any psychopathic genes from his so-called dad.

However, they weren't going to spend their joyful moments for that long. Stefan and his friends managed to escape from jail and they were seen walking around the area, which was close to Stefan's former mansion. They stopped for a bit to talk.

Kade: I knew your old home was around here. My instincts never lie to me. Still remember the graceful roads that led us to it.

Stefan: This area is no astonishment to me because I still recall it fully by heart. Finally, I'm in the place I wanted to be again.

Roger: Should we continue walking? I know how eager you are to see your precious glory of an estate.

They were a few feet away till they reached the entrance of the former Collins' mansion. Stefan rang the doorbell and the butler opened the door. He stood there as his blood ran cold and his eyes widened.

Butler: Stefan...this can't be. Why are you back?

Stefan: You will address me as "Young Master" like before and treat my friends with the same respect.

Stefan: He took a peek inside the mansion. Why is everything so different? And where is Christa? I need to see her and my son.

Butler: For your information, Miss Christa and her family aren't here.

Butler: Also, you were never my master. I still remembered the way you treated us when this house was yours.

Butler: You never got sick of your tireless tyranny over unfortunate people and how you used your status to get what you want.

Butler: You never felt sorry for belittling others and pretending your life was the most idyllic only because you were the richest boy in town.

Stefan: I don't allow you to speak to me in that manner. Even if I was harsh, it was out of the goodness of my heart.

Stefan: I gave you a roof over your head and permitted you to live here as long as you followed my orders.

Stefan: Now step aside and let us in!

Butler: He became furious. I'm not going to take orders from a disdainful man with his two repugnant friends.

Stefan: I'm not disdainful...Didn't think my absence would ruin everything in this house. Even my servants.

Butler: I'm not your servant anymore and you should still be in jail.

Stefan: Whatever, I won't try to reason with your foolish head. You can't blame me because I did nothing back then.

Stefan: You might be winning now but, in the end, you will weep like the rest. This won't be over.

Butler: Begone and may God forgive your sins, but I won't. He slammed the door and locked it.

He left Stefan and his friends standing outside looking quite furious.

Stefan: Can't believe that butler had the audacity to be impudent towards me.

Kade: It was absolutely ridiculous. Hugo brainwashed him too don't you think?

Stefan: It turns out everyone changed because of that traitor. How could he do this to my luxury home?!

Kade: It's highly unacceptable they accuse us for something that wasn't our fault rather than begging for you to return.

Roger: Patience, Stefan. They will eventually realize their mistake and see you as their master once again.

At last, they walked away from the grand estate that once belonged to Stefan because they decided to f*ck off for now. Back inside, a maid was cleaning the kitchen counters and once she was done, she approached the butler.

Maid: Tom, who was at the door a while ago?

Butler: You will think I'm joking, but it was Stefan. The previous owner of this mansion. He got out of jail.

Maid: What did he want, Tom?

Butler: He wanted to get inside and was asking about Miss Christa...

Butler: But listen no matter what happens, we shouldn't exploit this to our masters. They should enjoy their vacation.

Maid: Yes they should but I feel like if we don't tell them, they could get crossed with us.

Maid: Who else did Stefan ask to see?

Butler: His son...our Brady master. I don't understand how he learned he has a son.

Maid: Me neither. He got thrown into jail before Brady was born.

Maid: Seems like that man is still fanatically obsessed with Miss Christa. I felt apprehensive every time I was forced to do what he asked.

Butler: It was very scary the way he treated us. Don't think I would forget what he did to his OWN parents.

Maid: I almost fainted when I saw blood oozing out of their bodies.

Maid: We should call the police. The sooner they find him, the better it would be for everyone.
