"Murder?" "What are you saying? You don’t mean it; I went there to save him!" Brandon replied ardently, unable to comprehend the allegations they leveled against him. "You have to get a lawyer, Brandon; arrest him!" Jordan commanded his men. Estrellia got into their midst again. "Boss think about this again; don’t go with them; if you do, the five will make you pay for dishonoring them," Estrellia warned Brandon again. "I am innocent, and I will prove it to you that I didn’t kill my father!" Brandon replied calmly. He stretched his hands forward toward Jordan himself."Take me; I’ll prove my innocence without the help of the five; you failed twice, and this will be your third," Brandon coerced. Jordan cuffed him and walked out of the office first, leaving Brandon to follow. "Sir Brandon, don’t! You must not surrender," Estrellia hurled, ready to fight if only Brandon would just give her the go-ahead. "Hurry up, take me away, start your investigation; I won’t be spend

AT DON SORIANO’S WAKE. Olvido was standing at the front of the coffin with a drink in his hand and Grandma Pillar’s golden walking stick. "Vanity, I lost my mother, my grandmother, and now my father just in the same year; my stepbrother is in jail for killing my father," Olvido muttered. "Who are you talking to?" "Yourself?" Stephanie asked calmly."You dare show up here; we could have saved him," Olvido replied lowly. Not drawing more attention to themselves. "I told you what you needed to know; this will be the last time you’ll see me," Stephanie replied. She paid her respects to Don Soriano. "I didn’t see your death coming; you tried to help me, but I knew you couldn't; I have to live my own life," she muttered and left. Olvido returned to his seat; they had to wait for Herveaux and Andallio, who showed up really late for the funeral. "They even disrespect him after he’s gone," Olvido gnarled helplessly. Herveaux sat next to him and tried to console him. "Sorry,

AT THE GLASS HOUSE. Torillio made his grand entrance with his men, displacing all the guards that were formally at the glass house and replacing them with his men. "Follow me !" he commanded Fredrick as he put on his mask, proceeding to enter the glass house with it. "Wait, have you thought about this very well? What if they press charges against you for the killings? What if Stephanie shows up? You can’t be too reckless because you’re now powerful," Fredrick warned him."Get your hands off me," Andallio coerced, pushing him away. "I will do what I want; I want them to know so they can respect me!" he yelled. Fredrick doubled up and blocked him again. "Andallio, listen to this," he uttered. "Call me RAD," he replied violently, kicking the door in front of him. "The only reason Brandon is alive now is because he’s in that cell; once he steps out, he’s dead meat because he’s no longer immune. Do you want to make the same mistakes?" Fredrick asked him dreadfully.Andallio halte

THE BREAK. AT THE COMPANY.The news had gone viral about the controversies in the Ramirez family; the reoccurring deaths, capped with Brandon’s arrest for an alledged murder of his father, caused a stir in the company, and the major shareholders pushed for a change. The meeting was graced by all the dignitaries, including Torillio de Guzman and Andallio. "Please be calm; everything is under control. We will choose a new president, either by voting or seeking Brandon’s approval; we all know Don Soriano handed it over to him," Esmeralda said, trying to calm the uproar. "How long will we wait for an ex-convict to come rule us, or do you think we are fools?" one of the major shareholders said to her. "Speaking for my own company, standing as their representative, I think I agree with the idea of voting in a new leader," Aliaana uttered savagely making a fool out of Esmeralda by mimicking her. "Agreed, we’ll vote…" Esmeralda voiced her frustration after being forced into

AT BRANDON’S MANSION. Esmeralda was sipping on the hot coffee Marcellus served her when they got to Brandon’s mansion after leaving the company.“What’s on your mind? You’ve been silent since we arrived?” She dropped the coffee on the saucer. “I should leave now; if there are any more updates from Brandon, let me know so I won’t be out there like a fool,” she replied lightly.“Is it about him?” Marcellus asked her.“About what?” she asked absently. The motorcycle that double-crossed Torillio’s car with the man that seemed so familiar was Madrigal, and it took a toll on Esmeralda when she saw him.“We both know the rider was Madrigal, and you’re looking for him; should I speak with him?” Marcellus asked. “No, I can find my way with things; I’ll get to him,” she replied. Marcellus held her hands, smiling at her. “He’s no longer on our side; Torillio is his new boss; do you think we can still bring him back?” “Madrigal is an adult; if he chose to change sides now that Brandon
