James was thrilled to discover that Adrian had sent a copy of the video to his email!“Oh… how excellent! I have a copy of the video! Well, it’s better to keep this to myself. Someone must have hacked Adrian’s email; if I send it back to him, not only will they delete it again, but they’ll know I have it.”James relaxed, grinning broadly, leaning back in his chair.Katrina burst in like the hurricane that bore her name, fuming with rage.“Hey, don’t knock the books over like your father, alright?” James rushed, anticipating more chaos.Katrina took a deep breath and raised her hands up high. “With the strength of the Lord, I will fear no evil.”“Who’s trying to do you harm, dear?” James jumped up abruptly and went to her.“No one specific. But evil exists in the form of Briana Ferro.”James took both her hands. “Where have you been?”“I went to Glamour. I needed to confront the mastermind behind the murder,” Katrina answered with a trembling voice.James hugged his wife. “Don’t say th

Briana was determined to defend her and Mark’s names at any cost. “James, I need you to listen to me and understand.” She pleaded. “Mark and I are not responsible for everything that’s happening in our family.”Upon realizing that Briana would not admit to loving James, he felt disappointed. Breaking his inflated smile, he retorted, “Briana, you came here just to talk about that?”“What do you mean, JUST to talk about that?” Briana frowned. “We NEED to talk about it! James, if you really love me, you wouldn’t believe such a slander.”“Hey! Don’t come at me with those arguments!” James extended his index finger. “Don’t talk like you care about my feelings for you. That would be very vile of you, Briana, and it would prove that my wife was right about you.”Briana felt outraged by James’s reaction. “You’re acting like a teenager who has a crush on a high school beauty; still, you have the nerve to say ‘my wife’ as if it meant something to you.”James shook his head. “This is what I need

The next day. Regis served breakfast once again, anxious that Mark wouldn’t ask about Julian’s whereabouts in front of Briana.But it was Briana who asked, “Where’s Julian?”Regis looked at Mark as if silently begging him.Mark, giving a slight smile, replied, “Julian is in love, dear.”Briana didn’t quite understand. OK, he found a girlfriend, but it’s been three days since he’s been missing, right?Mark tried to change the subject. “What’s your schedule for today, dear?”Briana started laughing as she cut her pancakes. “Heh, heh, heh… Mark, you might as well hire me a bodyguard. No need, I can’t sing.”“Come on. I bet you have a hidden talent in your vocal cords.” Mark teased, gently caressing his beloved wife’s face.“We’ll throw a karaoke party, and then you’ll be embarrassed by me.” Briana joked.Mark took her left hand, looking at her with passion and adoration.“I will never be embarrassed by you!”Briana melted faster than the butter on the table. Regis smiled contentedly and

To keep his identity as Lord Ferro a secret, Mark had to act like the husband of the wealthy wife who doesn’t know what to do or how to behave in legal matters. The truth is that Mark was even enjoying himself inside! Mark told the whole absurd story of the sabotaged cars and how the Vasconcelos family is convinced of blaming him and Briana for everything even without the slightest proof or evidence. Theodore furrowed his brow. “Mr. Ferro, this is all very irregular. This family cannot act so irresponsibly. The law says that every person is innocent until proven otherwise.” “The problem, Attorney Damascene, is that I have origins in poverty. I lived in a horrible housing complex with my ex-wife before meeting Briana. They are convinced that I was able to sabotage her cousins’ car just because of that.” Theodore shook his head. “No judge – at least, no judge in their right mind – is going to give credence to this family’s nonsense.” “Do you really believe that, Attorney?” Mark ma

Regis was not pleased to receive a certain message from Vargas. As he approached the pool again, he relayed this to Mark, “Lord Ferro, Vargas sent a message. He has been listening behind the lounge door and overheard a heated discussion between Lady Ferro and her relatives.” Mark stopped swimming and came to the edge of the pool. “What do they want now?” “Katrina Ross is suggesting that Christopher discovered something about you, hence the ‘assault’.” Regis rolled his eyes, indignant at how these troublemakers have the brains to concoct wild theories. Mark laughed as well. “Heh, heh... wow, Katrina has a talent for melodrama, huh? She’ll probably write the next soap opera.” “What should we do?” Regis was worried. “Lady Ferro wants to face these idiots on her own; let’s give her some space.” Mark got out of the pool. “Vargas will continue the surveillance. Is Sandro there?” “Yes, he is, vehemently defending his daughter.” Regis nodded. “That’s excellent. Let Sandro show the old
