The Law of Attraction

Liam was interviewed as Huang's representative by the media that day.

"We will make sure that justice will be served to those who have wronged. We are also reaching out to other victims of Bill Grey and asking them to come forward… The Sy Law firm will be open to help all of you out free of cost.

If you want justice for what you suffered because of Bill Grey, then don't be afraid because we are with you… Come out and let your voice be heard… Sy Law firm will protect you..."

As they expected, there were many people who reached out, making Lana and Liam's team become busier and Lana almost forgot about Kyle at that moment.

Everything went according to their plan. Gracy's arrest and Bill Grey's involvement in her crimes was all over the news. Bill who was still in his prison cell became infuriated as soon as he came to know about it.

On the same day, Kyle went to Gracy directly as soon as he gathered every information he needed… She was placed in the same detention center where Bill Grey was also detained.

"What happened? Can you get me out of here now? Kyle, I will die inside the prison. I can't stay inside for too long. Please help me…" Gracy pleaded.

Kyle's face was dark as he asked her, "Is it true that you were planning to kill Lana tomorrow?"

Gracy gulped and defended herself saying, "No! They are framing me for something I didn't do, Kyle. It's not true! I'm innocent! You have to help me get out of this hell Kyle. I'm innocent!!!"

"Gracy, the man you hired already confessed to everything. Your car was bugged and they have all the evidence including your video and voice recording informing the man about your intention of abducting and killing Lana. Gracy, why did you do this?

I can't believe it… You also orchestrated the kidnapping of Lana's mother and even helped that criminal Martin Smith escape from jail. I can't help you out of this Gracy. You committed these crimes so you must face the consequences for your actions.

It will be a lot easier for you if you just confess to everything… at least your sentence won't be life imprisonment."

Gracy's eyebrows lifted up as she mocked, "Are you kidding me, Kyle? How many years are you talking about? What's the use of not getting life imprisonment if I get released when I have become old? Are you not helping me because you like that Lana more than me?

Is that it Kyle? I knew it… Leave right now! I will find a lawyer who is capable enough! Someone who can help me get out of this mess!!!"

"Gracy… I'm really sorry but there's nothing I can do…" Kyle said and watched as Gracy walked out on him. He left the room as soon as Gracy left. But he did not leave the detention center yet…

Instead, he walked to another visiting room...

"Son…" Bill gasped as he rushed towards the man standing in front of him. He suddenly felt lively and a glint of hope glimmered in his eyes. Everyone was giving him bad news so he hoped his son would have some good news instead.

Kyle heaved a long sigh…

It was the first time he heard this man call him 'son' and it was the first time he was able to feel his embrace like this. He was longing for this all his childhood and he finally got to experience it after twenty-eight years of his life.

He grew up without a father and only came to know of him when he was already twelve years old. His mother contacted Bill Grey informing the man about his existence. His mother was already dying and was scared for his future, leaving her with no choice but to contact Bill Grey who was capable of providing him with everything he would need as he grew up.

"You must cooperate with my lawyers and make sure to get me out of here. It's all on Gracy. She's the one responsible for that kidnapping and killing. I don't have anything to do with it. Help your father…" he begged, holding and grabbing his son's hands as he guided him to sit back on his chair. Bill sat on the opposite chair and looked at him.

"It's the first time you called me son. I never thought it would ever come out of your lips…" he heard Kyle say and Bill smiled.

"I'm sorry it took me so long, son…" Bill replied as he gently squeezed Kyle's hand.

"I'm reviewing your case with your other lawyers. We are doing our best to see if there's a way out of the election mess. It would have been better if this was the only thing filed against you but now there's another that I'm afraid will be hard to defend given with all the evidence they have against you…" Kyle whispered.

"You can do it son. I believe in you. Do everything that you can to save me, your father. Please son I beg you… Once I get out I promise that we will start a new life. A fresh start together…" Bill pleaded.

Kyle… He was an unexpected son from Diane. One of the women he loved but she left him because she could not accept how he was living his life… Playing around and sleeping with other women and having a lot of illegal dealings. He was not aware that Diane was pregnant when she left him so he was so surprised when he received a call from her one day.

He was adamant at first but after receiving the DNA result, he accepted Kyle as his son but kept him away and hidden. Since he was already married, he did not want his name getting drag because he was married to a woman whose family was involved in politics.

He knew that Kyle could be of use to him someday so he supported him when he wanted to study law and gave him everything he needed financially.

"Hang in there for a while, I will look into it… Father, if I succeed in helping you get out of this mess you have to make sure you keep your promise and start anew…" Kyle breathed, totally torn with the situation he was currently in right now.

"Yes, son. I will keep my promise…" Bill reassured him and even shed some tears in front of his son.

"I'm really sorry about this son… But you're my only hope…" Bill added, still sniffing.

Kyle came out of the detention center with a heavy heart and burden on his back. There was definitely a way out for his father and that was by putting all the blame on Gracy. Since it was Gracy who personally handled the operation of the kidnapping of Mrs. Huang and as every evidence was already pointing to her, he could use it to lessen the sentence of his father...

"What are you going to do now Kyle?" he voiced out helplessly.

'Are you really going to help your father even knowing he is at fault and guilty?' his inner self condemned as he walked towards his car at the parking lot.

He was in a dilemma as he himself no longer knew how to proceed further knowing his father only had him now...
