At the age of eleven, Alex showed his laziness on doing business seriously but it doesn't mean he couldn't build his own business empire.
In fact, he already build the Alexa Corporation and it was still on its beginning phase. It was name after his twin sister who died before she sees the world.
Many wealthy family fawned over him to propose engagement but he rejected the proposal courteously.
However, some harbored ill-intent and even targeted his brothers's lives which made his brothers distant themselves from him.
When Alex went missing, his business empire turned dormant. They neither went bankrupt nor expanding. It's like they are waiting for their master's return.
That's why his brothers showed no sympathy when he was kidnapped and didn't initiate looking for him. There's no news about Alex and his kidnappers until they gave up.
Suddenly, an anonymous letter was sent to the Fernandez couple and told them the whereabouts of Alex without further elaboration of Alex's experiences since the day he was kidnapped. They found him in the countryside of H City.
Alex had a sudden impulse on attacking people. Fortunately, he could still control himself and decided on living by himself.
So, Alex gifted to his four brothers his painstaking business empire and let them manage which is a huge shock to him, as a father, and other wealthy families, as a opponent on business.
Then, Alex only requested on building a mansion in the middle of a forest and lived on by himself. At first, he didn't agree immediately because he doesn't want his son to live outside the Fernandez Family.
However, this made his other four sons dissatisfied. His sudden decision sound like looking down on his four brothers' competence which further worsen their relationship as a family.
Alejandro sighed. 'If only I can go back time, I will certainly resolve it as their father' and blamed himself for neglecting his five sons' indifferences towards each other.
"I-It's my fault. If only I showed affection towards him, maybe he won't live outside" Beatrice kept on blaming herself because of her decision back then on letting Alex fend for himself after he came back. Instead of showing affection of a mother, her decision pushed Alex to wit's end.
However, Beatrice didn't know that Alex was thanking her decision because of his body condition. Otherwise, he cannot find a reason for living alone.
Poor Beatrice. She had helped her son without knowing it herself.
"Sssshhh.. Let's just pray that he's fine" Alejandro comforted his wife. He sighed. He only wish to see his son.
"Hmmm" Alejandro scooped her up and put her down on bed. He pulled her to his arm and let her cuddled on his warm embrace. Eventually, they both fell sleep on each other's arms.

"Have you found out which group did Sam belong to, before he joined us?" a cold man with sharp eyes asked his subordinates. His name is Nathaniel Trinidad. He is the only son of Augustus Trinidad and Selena Marcos.
When they found out that Sam was the traitor, it was too late! Sam already sold their information to the other group and killed many civilians while using the military's might!
"Yes, Captain. Sam's Boss is Kevin Santiago. Last three years ago, Kevin was a former mercenary leader of Red String Mercenary Group but their group disbanded because of internal strife. Sam was Kevin's trusted brother.
"Since then, the Red String Mercenary Group members joined another mercenary group sneakily. Only few members joined the military because of their age and talent"
"If not because of zombie apocalypse, we cannot find out their connection easily. Thanks to the man who turned a new leaf, he divulge Sam's past after hearing his treachery"
A scholarly looking man reported to his Boss seriously as his voice was trembling because of anger, guilt, despair and resentment towards Sam's betrayal and Kevin's massacre to the civilian survivors.
His name is Wilson Buenaventura. He is Nathaniel's confidant and childhood friend.
"Also, our team still cannot find their trails. I don't know if someone deliberately helping them to hide or not. This person's skill on stealth is a top-notch in a military scale" Wilson continued as he put down the notes regarding Sam and Kevin, including the mysterious person.
"Oh?" Nathaniel's ears perked up as his eyes shone while Wilson kept explaining on the helper's talent by profiling based on their gathered data.
"Sir Nathan! Sir Wilson! Lieutenant General Bascos called you to his office" a teen boy suddenly barged in without caring if he's rude or not to them.
Nathaniel frowned and Wilson face-palmed.
"How many times did I tell you to knock on the door first before you enter?!" Wilson nagged on the teen boy. The teen boy pouted.
"Hey! I'm your brother!" the teen boy scoffed at Wilson and left the room immediately.
"That brat..!" Wilson felt irritaffed of his little brother's fearlessness in front of Nathaniel.
"Let's go" Nathaniel said and started heading towards the direction of Lieutenant General Bascos's room.
Inside Lieutenant General Bascos Office, a table was placed on the center of the room. It has snacks and coffees for the guests. These are obviously for the two young man and teen boy who just arrived on time.
"What is it?" Nathaniel asked as they sat down on the sofa. He and Wilson doesn't have intention on drinking coffee since it is not the reason they are called here for.
Lieutenant General Bascos squinted and just let them be.
"I called the two of here for the new mission" then he placed a folder, filled with thick papers, on the table. On the cover, Nathan saw the word 'Zombie Evolution' which piqued his interests and started flipping its pages.
Inside it, it contains the information about the different stages of zombie evolution from zombie rats to third class zombie soldier. Higher than that is still under investigation.
Also, there's another folder below it. It is about the locations of warehouses nearby their shelter - the R Shelter.
"Where did you get this information?" Nathaniel wanted to confirm the authenticity of this information since it involves the lives of his comrades.
"Since the beginning of zombie apocalypse, many people experienced the terror of zombie rats. Some people turned and some people conjured ability attributes"
"However, the sudden appearance of first class zombie soldier three weeks ago are pushing us to the square one once again"
Lieutenant General Bascos slouched down as he recalled the passing of many military soldiers three weeks ago because of the sudden appearance of first class zombie soldier.
"Then, I'll lead the venturing squad" Nathaniel said as he felt heavy inside his heart. He was also helpless and powerless when that incident happened.
