They had barely returned to the classroom after lunch when a wave of shocking, electric news swept through the room.
“Did you hear? Big news—Hector’s dead!” one student shouted, scrolling frantically through his phone.
“Who’s Hector?” someone asked, bewildered.
“Are you living under a rock? He’s the golden boy of Glenwood.”
“Wait, the Glenwood golden boy? That means he’s one of the Watson family, right?”
“Exactly. And he died right here in Veridia.”
“How did it happen?”
“No one's saying for sure. They’re hinting it has something to do with a woman. Check the news—every trending headline is about Hector’s death.”
At that very moment, Sabrina’s phone buzzed with a message from Stella.
[Check the news. He’s dead.]
[Yeah, I know.]
Hector’s death set the entire internet ablaze.
Kaden and his wife rushed to Veridia to get answers.
The authorities in Veridia immediately flagged the case as a high priority.
The initial autopsy claimed Hector had died from a lethal mix of drug overdose and extreme indulgence.
Kaden, arriving in Veridia, rejected the findings outright. There was no way his son would use drugs.
He’d drilled it into all his children from a young age: gambling, drugs, and vice were life-ruining vices—never to be touched.
He knew Hector had always been surrounded by women.
He was a man himself; he understood Hector’s appetite for pleasure.
He’d only ever warned him to be careful, to protect himself, to stay away from dangerous diseases.
So, claiming Hector died from excess? That, he could believe.
But drugs? Never.
