I Borrowed Him

Blood Gates

In a house located in the middle of the hills with a towering fence following the contour of the hill, a house full of luxury and a residence for the Gates family looks very closely guarded by some sturdy men in tuxedo clothes and black. In one room on the third floor, Naomi was in the room with Julius who was talking very seriously.

Naomi's face looks shocked and shows her disbelief at Julius' story about the history of Arielle, Scott and Gates, and the, even more shocking for Naomi is Julius' confession that says he killed all members of Arielle and Scott's family. However, when Jester and Naomi are kidnapped to the Gates residence, only Julius looks warm and receives their presence well.

"Then...you killed your whole family just because of those words?" asked Naomi who sounded shocked

"Yes, I killed my entire family and left only my niece, the daughter of my second sister Jessica Arielle, by sabotaging their plot to kill Arthur" Julius replied flatly, Naomi took her breath in - in trying to calm her mind.

At once the warm figure in Julius that Naomi knew was like turning cold-blooded in Naomi's mind, after the warmth built by Julius to make Naomi even Jester feel comfortable and safe along with Julius arrived - suddenly there is a little doubt on Naomi, who is a little, Naomi fears all of Julius's attitude towards her as well as Jester's only fake and will one day harm her as well as Jester.

"What happened Julius? is it true that the plane that was supposed to be carrying the Arielle family did not contain passengers and was deliberately made as if an accident had occurred?" naomi asks trying to find the truth from the culprit directly with a slight feeling of anxiety

"True, the Gates, Arielle, and Scott families will meet with shareholders in Switzerland on January ten. Three limousines were prepared for each of them, but one of the three cars was filled by a hitman who acted as a driver. Without being told who the target was, he was only ordered to kill whoever got into the car, by paying more I ordered him to exchange positions with the limousine Morgan was going to ride. That's how Morgan died in the car that was actually prepared for Arthur" Julius answered and walked to the window that could see a fountain in the middle of the front garden of the house.

"To blur the reality of murder into an accident, it takes an accident that allows the human body to be destroyed. So there was a plane crash known as the January ten tragedy, even though Arielle was not in the plane" Julius continued the story

"Limousine was dropped from the cliff in front of this house and made everyone in the car seriously injured, then I ordered some of my men to search for Arielle on the cliff. I found my family alive, so I took them all back to Gates' house and made them kneel at the fountain in the yard" Julius said, a moment later, Julius turned around and looked at Naomi again. The gaze made Naomi worried and for a moment shifted her gaze before finally returning to Julius and ready to listen to the continuation of the story.

"I shot them in the head one by one and buried them right in front of the fountain and closed Arielle's family history for a long time" in a tone of voice that sounded flat Julius said, the coldness of Julius' attitude makes Naomi again surprised to be unable to say anything else.

"I left my niece Jessica behind because she got word that Jessica was pregnant with Andrews Gates' child, so she was forced to." Julius said, Naomi cut.

"Cruel!! why can you - usually do that?!!" snapped Naomi

"If I hadn't done it, then Jester wouldn't be in this world because Arthur, Guinevere, Andrews, William and Phillips would have filled the morgue in front of the fountain" julius answered in a flat tone, Naomi realized Julius' sacrifice at that time.

"But... does it have to be like that..?" ask Naomi again

"For the Gates and Arielle case I had no other choice in such a narrow time, but I regret what happened to the Scott family" julius looked back at the fountain from behind the glass window in the room

Hearing Scott's name is said to make Naomi's feelings raging, only Evans Scott's father is left and Naomi can meet. He didn't even know how his grandparents, uncles and cousins were. There was never any truth about the death of his extended family. Then when Scott's name was called Naomi felt it was time to find out the truth even though Naomi could have guessed that the story would not be much different from the death of the Arielle family.

"What happened.... between Gates and the Scott Family?" naomi asked with a trembling body

"The accident involving the entire Arielle family sparked the suspicions of Anthony Scott.yah your grandfather young Miss Scott, plus five years later I asked Arthur to change PT GAS to Gates Family Group and then force Anthony Scott to sign a change of name" Julius flatly replied

"Is it because... My grandfather didn't want to sign the letter, and then you killed him?" asked Naomi in a slightly angry tone while guessing what happened.

"Not so simple as that young Miss Scott, Anthony was forced to sign the agreement and manoeuvre to seek support from other companies silently - quietly... your father, Evans Scott" replied Julius and made Naomi surprised her now so-called father

"What... did dad do?" ask Naomi

"Anthony asked Evans to seek support from small companies to join a new force to counter Gates' dominance, but I was too smart for Scott's reckless plans. Evans did the plan recklessly, the Gates family's eyes and ears kissed the plan and I destroyed Evans and bankrupted him" Julius flatly replied, Naomi immediately remembered the story about Evans bankruptcy told by Naoko when she was a child.

"By the confusion Evans had with the company - the company that had already given a large amount of money, Anthony and the rest of Scott's family left Evans alone with the crisis. Anthony and your uncle's family decided to leave the country when your father was pursued by the company's legal advisers, Knowing the cowardly Scott family was leaving I ordered my men to harm them on the way. Then a series of accidents involving the entire Scott family occurs on May 23" Julius continues his story while Naomi is still shocked to hear the real story.

"Why... did you let me?" asked Naomi in a trembling voice

"Young lady can ask Evans why he survived until you were born in this world" Julius replied, briefly silent as Naomi again tried to ask.

"Why did the Scott family become your regrets?" ask Naomi

"Because closing Scott's family history is my decision and not an order from Arthur" Julius replied in a still tone of voice that sounded flat as if he had no emotions at all, Naomi again made surprised because during this time Naomi considers all the murders were the idea of Arthur.

"A. What do you mean Julius?" ask Naomi

"The decision to close Scott's family history is purely my decision and it leaves me with two regrets for a lifetime" Julius replied, turning back to look at Naomi with eyes that showed sadness and regret, julius's eyes astonished Naomi.

"First, I did something I shouldn't have done and second... Arthur became as empathetic as he is today because of Guinevere's death and my encouragement" Julius continued

"What impulse?" ask Naomi curiously

"When I took out Scott's family without Arthur's orders, he was so angry with me that he beat me to the point of breaking one of my ribs. I understand his sadness that has not subsided after his wife's death, but because I understand Arthur's still weak condition that I try to continue to protect the Gates family from all harm in my way" julius answered as he walked towards the exit of the room

"At that time I thought my actions were right by eliminating Scott's family and would have Arthur's support, but I was wrong. What I found instead, I incised the guilt of Arthur in the Scott family" Julius continued

"Arthur said to me 'You want to see cold-blooded Arthur? well, now I'll fulfill your request' then Arthur who used to be a jolly and kind-hearted figure as if yawning into the Arthur you now know" julius continued, opening the door to get out of the room

"I sacrificed to murder and Arthur sacrificed himself to be cruel, cold-blooded, and unforgiving even though it was all my fault, because of our sacrifice both young Miss Scott and young master Jester can enjoy the beauty of life" he said again while closing the door slowly

Elsewhere at the same time, seen a Mercedes Benz S 450 speeding at medium speed towards the courtyard of a luxurious house with nuances typical of Japanese culture. From the car down, Jester and William, while in the courtyard of the house, saw Naoko standing behind a wheelchair where Evans was sitting waiting to welcome the Gates family.

"Welcome to Scott's house, Gates' family" Evans said in a happy voice

"Sorry bro, I came with bad news" William said in a sad tone, William's words made Evans and Naoko surprised.

"What's wrong?" ask Evans curiously

"It's about Naomi bro. papa Arthur.

Hearing William's answer makes Evans and Naoko surprised, a feeling of worry about the condition of Naomi who was held captive by Arthur makes them both as Naomi's parents feel sad and afraid something will happen. However, the reputation of Arthur Gates in the eyes of Evans and Naoko is very bad with cruelty and cold blood in the face of something, the past grudges that may still be in Arthur's heart make Evans and Naoko feel that old grudges will be bestowed on Naomi.

"Jester how did Naomi feel when you and Naomi were separated?" naoko asked with panic and sadness at every word Naoko said, Jester lowered his head looking so sorry.

"He looked good even though he had a chance to cry, but Naomi said if this is one form to support my plan... I failed to make Naomi stay safe." replied Jester sounding very sorry.

"If so he'll be fine" Naoko said, sounding relieved, Naoko's words made Jester, William, Marrie and Evans surprised.

"What do you mean Naoko?!" marrie asked in an angry tone

"If her wish meant nothing, Naomi must have prepared her heart to stay strong" Naoko replied flatly, Naoko's answer making Marrie even more angry.

"You don't know how Arthur treats his captives!! there will be no chance for Naomi to.." unfinished Marrie spoke, Naoko cut in.

"To support the man we love, we as women must be willing to sacrifice. Isn't that Marrie chan?" naoko asked Marrie in a cynical tone, although upset but Marrie agreed with Naoko's words and could not refute it.

"But it's not a pleasant place, I'm afraid Miss Naomi will.." William said, Evans cut.

"Let Naomi with her struggle, we just need to speed up what we are working on. Isn't that Jester?" timpal Evans, looking away at Jester who still looks guilty from the look on his face, with a sigh Jester nodded his head in response to Evans' words.

"I'm sorry dad. I can't take good care of Naomi.." jester chirped after nodding her head, Evans smiled at the regretful Jester.

"It's okay, as Naoko said. Let Naomi with her own fight, she did that to help you. Just focus on your plan so that Naomi can get out of Arthur's crib soon, I mean, your grandfather" Evans said trying to make Jester tough and not continue to blame himself.

"Let's go in and talk about our steps" Evans asked to enter the house, Naoko turned her wheelchair Evans was about to enter the house followed by Jester, William and Marrie.

The brief conversation that took place in the courtyard of the house was soon ended by Naoko and Evans to continue inside the house, a relationship that was established because the friendship between William and Evans was so strong. For Marrie and Naoko who used to have a cold war was now seen compact because of the matchmaking they did for their two children. Prepare for all the plans that will be discussed, they are all eager to carry out the plan that will be done.

In a room that was spread tatami with a table in the middle, Jester felt nostalgia while there. The room that seemed to be the starting point of Jester and Naomi became lovers, making memories of the beginning of Jester trial by Naoko twisted back. In the room Jester, Marrie, William and Naoko were sitting on tatami while Evans was still on his wheelchair, their faces looked serious to determine the pace of Jester's plan.

"Dad and papa can accelerate the sale of shares?" ask William and Evans

"The release of shares will be published in the next four days, the Scott hospital network is arguably ready" Naoko replied in response to Jester's question

"Gates hotels are also coming out tomorrow, but will it be able to sell quickly?" ask William wonder

"It can't be fast if we expect ordinary people, but from the information I heard saying that grandfather will always put his eyes in every company that stands. Grandpa also said there were only two companies that he had not mastered because the ownership of the shares was controlled by the owner, namely Gates Hotel and Scott Hospital" Jester replied trying to guess

"That means the plan was to lure Arthur into buying as many shares - many of which we threw?" ask Evans to try to reinforce Jester's plan

"Right, we're gonna lure Grandpa to buy Gates Hotel and Scott Hospital shares. From the money, I want before the grandfather people get into the company then the money from the shareholders immediately throw to buy Exo Fashion and Style shares, he said, that way Exo will have the money to buy Arielle shares that will be released by Madame Jessica in the majority" replied Jester explaining the details of his plan to William and Evans, for a moment they all fell silent.

"In Arielle Corp's body is Burgess and Jeremy, how could they be willing to let go?" william was confused

"That's why I wanted to ask Mr. Werner's son Grece to raise the news of my marriage to Naomi and appoint Arielle Corp to be our wedding Wedding Planner. Through Madam Jessica and Sarah, Arielle Corp will mark up costs and buy materials - raw materials supporting the Wedding Planner from Exo" replied Jester firmly, with the answer, jester's reply left William and Marrie shocked.

"It means indirectly Arielle will bankrupt herself by buying things that are not needed, he said, that way there will be a reason to release the stock and the release of the stock in large quantities will make the stock price itself will go down" William began to understand Jester's plan, Jester said, with a nod of Jester's head justifies William's conclusion.

"True, a domino effect will be created and Exo will become the majority shareholder of Arielle Corp. I won my bet with grandfather if it went well, right?" jester asked as he looked at William, Marrie, Evans and Naoko in turn, while the parents who felt themselves as experienced in business became stupid.

"Hey... don't you feel that Jester was your papa when you were young?" chirps Evans to William, though his eyes are still fixed on Jester.

"I don't know how you were when you were young either, but if you look at history, it's how young Arthur brought Gates, Arielle and Scott together in his prime" william's reply still sounded surprised while staring at Jester, at the same time Marrie arrived - suddenly showed his upset face.

"Blood is undeniable, I really hate my in-laws and now my son is like my father-in-law" upset Marrie when he said it, Naoko just smiled in response to the words of William, Evans, and Marrie.

"What - what? don't equate me with that cold-blooded old man!" reject Jester with a little snapping, simultaneously William, Marrie, Evans and Naoko laughed.
