As she stepped out of the sleek black vehicle, her presence commanded attention.Flanked by two formidable bodyguards, their imposing figures exuded a professional air that set them apart from Boss Joe's crew, who appeared more casual in comparison.Boss Joe greeted Madam Lara with a mixture of joy and trepidation. He had always held a healthy dose of fear for this woman, fully aware of her vast network of connections, especially with high-ranking government officials.Madam Lara's decision to collaborate with him was solely driven by her desire to work alongside Boss Joe, a fact that both intimidated and fascinated him."Ah, Madam Lara, it brings me great pleasure to have you here," Boss Joe greeted her, a hint of nervousness evident in his voice. He understood the significance of her influence and the opportunities that

Renante was astonished when his friend stopped him. It frowned. He stared at his companion with curiosity."Is there a problem, Rayden?" Renante inquired."Let's not do it. I feel a little guilty for Madam," Rayden replied gently."What about the captives? Are you just going to let them die at the hands of that broken boss Joe?" determined Renante's language.Rayden breathed a sigh of relief, "maybe there's another way? Let's talk to Boss Joe again about making us do something different? Maybe he'll understand.""Rayden, Boss Joe isn't like that. He's not the guy you think you're going to beg for. That lump looks like money." Renante promised definitely.A moment of quiet engulfed the surroundings."What are you afraid of, ah? Madam's guards aren't here inside the house...""Renante, I feel sorry for Madam. She is not the person we think is bad. She is different. She is sophisticated when she acts and speaks but she also has feelings. Can you imagine that, huh?" Rayden's words to a bu

After opening the door, Boss Joe entered his office with two staff members. He signaled for them to just stand in the corner near the door. He drew Rayden close and sat down."Come on, you two." He motioned to them.Renante was hesitant to sit, so Rayden sat first."What, are you going to sit down or not?" Boss Joe scoffed at Renante.Renante sat down, saying, "Yes, that's it.""What is going on with you, and why are you so worried?" the boss asked, his eyes narrowing."Ah… Nothing.""It's like you saw a ghost, huh?"Renante didn't respond and instead gazed at Rayden. Rayden briefly approached employer Joe, telling him about the jewelry he and Renante had received."That's what you've been waiting for," Rayden remarked."Good, let's see." Boss Joe handed over the bag containing the jewelry.His eyes widened when he noticed them. He took a piece. He first took the necklace with white pearls and a diamond at the end."Wow," he said, "this is so beautiful. Do you think it would suit my b

Rosalinda's arm was grazed by a bullet when they shot. Rayden came over and help her."Are you alright?" Rayden looked at Rosalinda's arm, "you have shot""Don't worry. It's far from the gut," she replied."We have to get them back.""All right!"While Renante was waiting for Rayden, he sensed someone pointing at his head. He paused and turned around."No!" Renante insisted."Come back!" Boss Joe calls Renante to retreat.When Rayden and Rosalinda returned to where they had left their comrades, they discovered Boss Joe with his men, kneeling Renante, Boyet, and some captives. The others remained on the sidelines as Boss Joe's gang surrounded them."Just stay there! And put down your guns!" Boss Joe eased the trigger of the gun aiming at Renante's head, "otherwise this guy's head will explode.""Rayden! Rosalinda! Help us!" Renante begged the two.Rayden and Rosalinda reluctantly lowered their guns."I really can't believe that you would betray me, Rosalinda. I thought you were loyal t
