The Knight in Shinning Suit
(S2): Santorini Island
“Why did you kill Irene?”
“She knows my secret.”
“Consecration?”
Lucinda took a deep breath before telling her, though she did not want Catherine to know, but she had no other choice, as Catherine held the evidence of her crimes.
“Irene knew that I had stolen Hendrik's 1 million dollars from his company.”
Catherine defended in surprise. “What do you use the money for?”
“I lost gambling.”
“You gambled?”catherine did not believe it.
Lucinda nodded and bowed sadly.”I had no other choice but to steal the company money to pay off all my money, if my brother knew, he would be very angry with me. I could be kicked out of this house.”
“How did Irene know that you stole the money?”
“He accidentally heard my conversation with the casino owner on the phone. Irene was very angry and caused one of the employees in the company to be fired because I had slandered her.”
“I didn't expect a girl as good as you could commit a crime like this.”
“Irene has given me time to speak honestly with Hendrik, but I don't have the courage to speak honestly with him. Irene would say about this to Hendrik after breakfast, but I told her to meet at the warehouse.”
“What happened back then?”
“Irene came up with an annoyed face and she forced me to speak honestly to Hendrik. I tried to persuade her not to say anything to him, but Irene did not want me to persuade her to shut up. I became very upset and angry. Finally I locked it in the warehouse and damaged the electricity and there was a fire.”
“If Hendrik finds out you killed Irene, he'll be very angry with you and you'll go to jail. You will also be crossed out from a member of the MacAllister.” family
“I know it.”
“I'll make a quote for you.”
Lucinda looked.
“What offer?”
“If you help me marry Hendrik, your secret will be safe with me. I won't say anything about this. How?”
“Do you love my sister?”
“I don't love him.”
“Then why do you insist on marrying her?”
“ Because Hendrik can meet the needs of my life and my daughter.”
Lucinda grinned, as she finally knew Catherine's intention to marry her brother just because of the treasure.
“How's Lucinda? Did you accept my offer?”
“If I refuse?”
“I'll tell your sister.”
“Good. I'll help you, but you have to keep your promise.”
“Of course, Lucinda.”
Catherine left Lucinda's room and was very upset. Lucinda didn't want any of this to happen. He did not want his older brother to marry Catherinr, but he had no other choice.
Phillippa noticed Kiana sleeping in the room . She kissed Kiana on the forehead before she laid her body next to the little girl. Joshua lay beside Phillippa and hugged his wife tightly.
“Goodnight! I love you.”
“I love you too.”
Joshua kissed Phillippa's head before falling asleep.

5 Years later
Theoden had turned 16 years old and his busyness was increasing in addition to his school affairs he also took care of his father's work. Every day after school he went to his father's office to learn about the ins and outs of his family's company.
Hendrik often brought her to important events and also introduced her to his father's important business relationships. Theoden also learned how to negotiate with people. Even though his life feels boring, he still carries out his duties as a child who obeys all his father's orders.
He had already set his heart to become the successor of his father to manage his family's company. At dinner Theoden and Hendrik ate together as usual.
’’Theoden, next week you are coming with dad to Greece.”
Theoden looked directly at his father.
“There I will meet some important business relations.One of them is the biggest investor for our company. It just so happened that he was going to marry his daughter and I was invited to attend. I'd like to introduce you to him.”
“How about my school?’’
“I'll ask your teacher for permission so you can't get into class for a week’’.
“Alright up to dad only.”
It did not feel like the day of their departure for Greece was coming soon. After returning home from school Theoden immediately did all his schoolwork and then cleaned up the items he would carry. He spent the rest of the day preparing all his needs to go to Greece the next day.
Before dinner Theoden decided to go for a walk around his house. He went to the mini market to buy some small food, when he was going back home, the sky was getting dark and the air felt very cold.
His drink fell after hearing a woman's scream.His heart thumped after seeing a little boy about to get hit by a car, because the boy ran to pick up the ball. Theoden immediately dropped his shopping and ran to pick up the boy from the middle of the road.
The sound of Theoden's body crashing into the trash can was heard very loudly on the silent streets. The child continued to hold Theoden tightly with his eyes closed.The mother of the child immediately ran closer as well as the driver of the car.
“Ibuuu,’’yamannya while sobbing. On his face was still a fear of what had happened.
“Are you guys okay?Is anyone injured?’’said the driver of the car.
“I'm fine’’After Theoden.
“Looks like my son also no one was hurt,’’ replied the mother. The driver sighed in relief.’’Thank goodness!’’
“Sorry, I have to go home soon,’’ujar Theoden.
“Thank you for saving my son.”
Theoden smiled and nodded then left.The mother looked at Theoden's back with a look of gratitude.
“Let me drive home!’’said the driver of the car.’’What's your name sweet boy?’’
“Akira Amamiya.”
“Good name.”
Akira smiles. Her fear began to slowly dissipate from her cute face.
🥀🥀🥀
Theoden arrived home with his left hand that was hurting from the impact earlier.’’Night Mr. Theoden, your father is already waiting for you in the dining room.”
Theoden immediately went to the dining room and found his father who had been sitting while drinking orange juice.’’I thought dad would eat in the room.”
“Where were you from?’’
“Inhaling fresh air outside,’’answer. Theoden grimacing in pain.’’You why?’’
“I'm fine, just now my hand just banged.”
Hendrik looked at him with a full glance. He continued eating again. They both looked sad again.
“I'm done.”
“Sleep faster. Tomorrow morning we leave.”
“I understand.”
Theoden sat on the bed and looked at his sick left hand and it turned out to be a bruise. He pressed down on the bruise and it hurt.
“Mr Theoden, this is Florie.”
“Include!’’
“It's your clothes to wear tomorrow.”
“Save it there. Thank you.”
“Hopefully your trip is fun tomorrow.”
Florie left Theoden's room. After cleaning up, he decided to go to bed early. The next morning, the weather changed a little. The winter sunlight disappeared and was replaced with a thick fog. Under her father and Catherine, her stepmother whom her father married two years ago has been waiting. They eat their morning quietly. A few minutes later they finished eating and headed to the airport.
After a long journey they finally arrived in Greece and now they are on their way to Santorini. The blue of the sea and the scenery around it make Theoden fascinated. Hendrik smiled faintly at the enthusiasm of his son to see the scenery around him.
“Theoden, are you happy to come here?’’
“Of course,’’answere .
His eyes were still looking at the blue sea. The water seemed to glitter in the sunlight.
The boat they were traveling on was on the island of Santorini. They headed straight to the hotel above. Before they reach the hotel, they have to pass through a winding road and uphill. Theoden can see the architecture of the house is very unique and all the walls of the building are white and the roof is blue.Not only the roof, the fence and windows are also blue.
They had arrived at the hotel they were heading to. Theoden got a nice room and the view leads to the high seas. The room is not too big nor too small. Near the window was a medium-sized bed .
A breeze coming from the ocean entered the room through the window that had been opened earlier. The walls are plain white and decorated only by a painting of Greek gods and there is also a soft sofa and on TV.
Theoden headed to his balcony room. A strong wind blew against him. The smell of sea water is very pronounced. There is a round table made of wood with four chairs and also equipped with a jacuzzi.
In the evening Theoden and his father attended the wedding reception of his father's relatives.
“Theoden, this is Mr. Hellios Lizardis. She is the host of this party.”
“Halo mr Lizardis!’’said Theoden, then stretched out his hand and the Lizardist master welcomed his hand. Theoden smiling.’’Glad to meet you.”
“I also . You handsome boy is also fun.’’
“Thank you.”
“Theoden, leave us both!’’
Theoden went away and picked up some of the food available at the table.
“You are lucky to have a child as handsome and as smart as him.”
“Of course. He is my next successor and regarding our cooperation, I have prepared some documents that you just signed.”
“Good. Tomorrow afternoon we meet again at my house and don't forget to bring the documents.”
“Sure.”
A waiter passed in front of the two of them while carrying a few drinks . Hendrik took two glasses and the other one was given to Mr. Lizardis.
’’Come toast to the happiness of your daughter and also the success of our cooperation.”
They shake the glass. [ ]
