BRANDON. “Release the article,” Brandon commanded Marcellus. He was able to use his drone to track down the location the accident happened and got clear visuals. Brandon also deployed his men to check for CCTV cameras in that area, but there were none. The call from Vanessa didn’t go through as they person broke off the call after hearing Brandon’s voice. He suggested they kept the truth secret for safety. “Now that the article about my death is out, you have to keep to our promise and save my daughter at all means possible, even if it’ll cost your life Brandon, at least you owe her that?” Don Silevrrio pleaded in tears. “You don’t have to beg me, I am not a cruel man, Vanessa is innocent if anyone should die, it should be you and your stupid son,” Brandon raged cautiously with a calm expression on his face. “Dr. A:ejandro would relax while we sue his power to make a next move. At this rate, we can’t stop at just two elders. There are three more, and I know one is to take,

AT BRANDON’S MANSION. EMERALDA."What’s up with everyone?" she inquired form herself inwardly as her lips moved. Looking through the windows form her room, she saw the cars drive out hurriedly, one after the other. It was the same when she was sleeping some hours ago, as she heard the screeching sound of tires form her sleep. "He kicked me out completely from his tam, he should have let me go with my freedom, but he didn’t," she questioned herself softly. Esmeralda closed the window and poured down the curtains as she slid the bathrobe she wore down her body in front of the mirror. "I am still elegant, free, and beautiful; there is nothing I want that I won’t have. she spoke quietly ot the reflection of herself fin the miriror. She took her bath and glazed herself in a small smart bomshort learthe shorts and a glittering blouse. "I am so not ogigng to work today, I have to find Vanessa, that bastard Torillio still wouldn’t admit he kows where she is," the self direction question s

BRANDON.Brandon stuck his hand out in traffic. It was raining under the cloudless, serene sky. " It looks so peaceful—the kind of life I cherish is near, I can feel it," he said to Madrigal, sitting next to him in the driver's seat. "Yes Brandon—about that man, Lamar, don’t you think he’s dangerous? I didn't want you to see him," Madrigal streched adjusting his seat to fit his back, as the lane they were on wasn't moving.Lamar had met them at home earlier, before they set out. He claimed to he came there to deliver some packages to Hailey but she wasn't home. He then went ahead to ask Brandon’s men that he seeked audience with the boss." I don't think he is—and he looks familiar I just can’t fugure it out," Brandon responded as he gleaned over the car’s window. " Jordan, don’t you think he’s hdidng something? He just menstioned only Hailey—I know she’s connected to RAD but do you think he would send that much men just to defend her?" Brandon questioned him. The thouts

ANDALLIO. "Ouch—" Andallio exclaimed, playfully squezzing his face in mess. He rewatched Lamar’s death clip again and again with no remose but a broad, domineering smile on his face. " This is what will happen to anyone who goes against me, I can’t wait to see Fredricks’ reaction when he watches this—" he chocked, laughing. Where's the tape?" he asked worriedly and the gave it to him. Lamar was so close to handling it over o him and he ad ot take aderastic step to get him out. " Pople will do anything for money, do you believe that my last minute genius plan wanst a oart of my plan?" he asked his men beaming with pride. " You’re an ultra genius boss; Lamar outsmarted us, he didn’t had over the evidence o Bardon at his house but insisted on a meet, if Brandon had come ealier we would have sabotaged all your plans," one of his men responded telling him the truth he loved to hear. "Yes, I save you all again; your head would have been off your body if it went bad,"

BRANDONThe call with RAD seemed so unreal and strange. Brandon needed more answers. "How did she end up with him?" He asked his team to work hard to track down the number. They were back at the mansion, but he didn't stay."Where is Esmeralda?" Is she in the mansion?" he asked Natahlie. "Yes boss, I guess they’re packing, but they haven’t left.He raced up to his room to get the original documents from his safe. "Do you think she’ll talk if we give her?" Madrigal asked him closely, knowing how important it was to his plans. "My child, I need to confirm if it’s true; I can save Vanessa, but if he’s really pregnant, the babay might die; you know RAD, he’s brutal; I’ll do anything to save my child," Brandon responded, picking it up and closing the safe. "Esmeralda, come; we should have a word before you leave; your mother can leave," Brandon roared. Esmerald didn’t respond; she kept rolling her travel bag behind Hailey. "Look at this—you want it right?" Brandon wiggled the
