Episode - 12 ( Party and unexpected revelation)
Erik’s Parents’ Anniversary Celebration
The grand ballroom is abuzz with laughter and chatter as Erik’s family hosts a lavish anniversary celebration. Carter Wilson and Edward Wilson, Erik’s parents, stand at the center of the hall, greeting their guests. Erik is accompanied by his younger brother Elle, and their cousins Jack and James, all impeccably dressed.
Suddenly, Carter spots an old couple entering with their three sons.
Carter Wilson ( ML's Mother)
(Smiling warmly)
"Edward, look who’s here—Kennedy and Lara Adam!"
Edward Wilson ( ML's Father)
(Walking over with open arms)
"Kennedy! Lara! It’s been ages."
Kennedy Adam ( MC's Father)
(Laughing heartily as they embrace) "Too long, Edward. Congratulations on this beautiful milestone."
Carter Wilson ( ML's Mother)
(Hugging Lara)
"And where are your boys? You always speak so fondly of them."
Luis, with his two elder brothers, Kaden and Kaven Adam, walks in confidently. All three carry a commanding presence, dressed sharply in tailored suits. Luis is at the center, exuding an air of charm and sophistication that catches everyone’s attention.
Lara Adam ( MC's Mother)
(Beaming with pride)
"Here they are—Kaden, Kaven, and my youngest, Luis."
Edward Wilson ( ML's Father)
(Shaking hands with Kaden and Kaven)
"Good to see you both again! You’ve grown into fine young men."
Carter Wilson ( ML's Mother)
(Turning her attention to Luis)
"And this must be Luis! Kennedy always brags about you."
Luis Adam
(Smiling warmly, with a hint of mischief)
"All good things, I hope."
Carter Wilson ( ML's Mother)
(Laughing)
"Of course, all good things!"
As the families exchange pleasantries, Erik approaches reluctantly, his composed demeanor hiding the sudden nervous energy running through him. The moment his eyes meet Luis’s, they both freeze, shock evident on their faces.
Luis Adam
(internally): "What is he doing here?!"
Erik Wilson
(internally): "Why is he everywhere?"
Carter Wilson ( ML's Mother)
(Noticing the awkward silence, oblivious to the tension)
"Oh, Erik, come meet Luis. He’s Kennedy and Lara’s youngest."
Erik Wilson
(Clearing his throat, his voice slightly off-balance)
"We’ve already met... at college."
Luis Adam
(Smirking, arms crossed)
"Small world, isn’t it?"
Erik’s eyes linger on Luis longer than intended, captivated by his confident aura and striking looks. His younger brother, Elle, and cousins, Jack and James, quickly pick up on Erik’s unusual behavior.
Jack Wilson (ML's cousin)
(Leaning toward Erik with a teasing grin)
"You’re staring."
James Wilson ( ML's cousin)
(Nudging Erik)
"He’s completely lost. Did someone just steal your heart, cousin?"
Elle Wilson (ML's brother)
(Trying to hide his laughter)
"Should we give you two a moment?"
Erik’s ears turn red, and he quickly looks away, flustered.
Erik Wilson
(Muttering under his breath)
"You all need to shut up."
James Wilson ( ML's cousin)
(Grinning slyly, loud enough for Luis to hear)
"Looks like Erik’s got his eyes on someone special tonight."
Luis, catching the teasing, raises an eyebrow but remains cool.
Luis Adam
(With a slight smirk)
"Should I be flattered?"
The teasing grows, and Erik’s cousins burst into laughter.
Elle Wilson (ML's brother)
(Laughing)
"Oh, definitely. Erik’s reactions say it all."
Luis Adam
(Enjoying the attention but keeping his composure)
"Well, I’ll take it as a compliment, then."
Kaden Adam ( MC's 1 Elder brother)
(Grinning, joining in)
"Luis seems to be making quite the impression tonight."
Erik tries to regain his composure, but his gaze keeps drifting toward Luis. Meanwhile, Luis’s confident exterior hides the quiet amusement and satisfaction he feels inside.
As the families continue chatting, Carter and Edward exchange knowing smiles, clearly noticing the sparks flying between Erik and Luis.
The party is in full swing, with laughter and music filling the grand hall. Luis stands by the balcony, enjoying a moment of peace, when his phone buzzes. He checks the caller ID—it’s his grandfather. He steps away from the crowd and answers.
Luis Adam
(Calmly)
"Yes, Grandpa?"
Kenneth Adam ( MC's Grandpa)
(Seriously)
"Luis, listen carefully. We’ve been reviewing the progress of your mission, and we’ve decided to bring in someone new. This person has critical information that can help you. You’ll need them on your team."
Luis Adam
(Frowning, suspicious)
"Who is it?"
Kenneth Adam ( MC's Grandpa)
(Giving a phone number)
"Message this number. They’re someone we trust."
Luis sighs, annoyed at the sudden addition but texts the number. His eyes widen when, a few moments later, Erik’s phone lights up across the room. Erik picks up his phone, reads the message, and looks around, his gaze landing on Luis. Both freeze, realization dawning.
Luis Adam
(internally): "You’ve got to be kidding me."
Luis storms over to Erik, his expression dark.
Luis Adam
(Angrily, in a low voice)
"You? You’re the one Grandpa was talking about?"
Erik Wilson
(Calm, but amused by Luis’s reaction)
"Surprised?"
Luis Adam
(Gritting his teeth)
"This has to be a mistake. I don’t need you on my team."
Erik Wilson
(Leaning closer, smirking slightly )
"I think your grandparents would disagree."
Luis’s frustration grows, but before he can retort, Erik steps closer, his expression turning serious.
Erik Wilson
(Quietly)
"I know you’re after the main supplier. And I know where their base of operations is."
Luis freezes, his anger momentarily replaced by shock.
Luis Adam
(Narrowing his eyes)
"How do you know that?"
Erik Wilson
(Smirking, crossing his arms)
"I have my ways. Let’s just say I’ve been keeping tabs on them longer than you have."
Luis stares at him, torn between disbelief and intrigue.
Luis Adam
(Reluctantly )
"If you’re lying—"
Erik Wilson
(Cutting him off, confidently)
"I’m not. You need me if you want this mission to succeed."
Luis exhales sharply, clearly annoyed but realizing Erik might actually be useful.
Luis Adam
(With a bored expression)
"Fine. You’re in. But don’t get in my way."
Erik Wilson
(Smirking, his eyes glinting with satisfaction)
"Don’t worry. I’ll make myself useful."
Luis Adam
(Rolling his eyes )
"This isn’t about you. It’s about the mission."
Erik Wilson
(Lowering his voice, his tone teasing)
"Of course. But if it means spending more time with you, I’m not complaining."
Luis glares at him but doesn’t respond, walking away to compose himself. Erik watches him leave, a subtle smile on his face, clearly enjoying the turn of events.
