Enrique paused, the chess piece still between his fingers. He hadn’t intended to get involved, but this unexpected turn-his youngest son getting mixed up in things for the sake of a woman-truly caught him off guard.

‘Well, that’s a first,’ he wondered.

Enrique asked, “What exactly happened?”

Gareth’s face lit up with hope. He immediately put on a pitiful act and wailed, “Enrique, you know how worthless my son is, but he’s my only child. Lately, he took a liking to some girl. Who could’ve known she was under Mr. Turner’s protection? That’s how this whole mess started.
