With the help of two nurses called Christine and Lydia, Carol managed to escape Samantha's pursuit. But their luck didn't last long when the car suddenly stopped for lack of fuel. Those who left in a hurry did not bring their mobile phones and wallets to meet their needs during their escape. “What do we do now? She could find us,” Lydia asked desperately as she looked around. Carol, still weak and dizzy from the sudden events after waking up, couldn't do much. She could only surrender to her new destiny after escaping her mother's clutches. While the three women were confused, an old sedan suddenly approached them from the opposite direction. The arrival of a car belonging to an unknown person made the three people jump. “Hello? Are you all right? I saw your car full of holes, like it had been shot. And... your windscreen is broken too. What happened?” a gray old woman asked as she rolled down her window. Christine, who had lowered the window earlier, was at a loss for an answer. F
Carol was surprised when Samara confessed that she was the one who had raised her mother, Samantha. However, many questions went through her head. As she remembered from her mother's story, her parents had died. Then, the name Soleil, which had been attached to Samantha's family name, really existed. Carol, who feels that she has been tricked and taken advantage of, quickly dodges when Samara is caught off guard. "Carol, stop it! You have to stay here! If you don't, Samantha will find you!" shouted Samara as Carol ran holding her stomach towards the door. Samara's words stopped Carol in her tracks. The woman looked back at Samara who had a sad face. "Trust me. I just want to protect you from her. This is all my fault and I want to make up for it by protecting you," she said which made Carol silent. "Let me go," Carol said sadly. Samara walked overcautiously knowing that Carol was wary of her presence. The old woman kept her distance, so Carol wouldn't feel threatened. "Samantha
The news that Samantha had attacked the Kaye family prompted the police to rush to the location. Samuel and Rebecca Kaye were intensively treated at the emergency room of the Rodriguez legacy hospital. Security was tightened as the hospital had many victims of Samantha's vicious act. “Where's Mrs. Kaye?” asked Jacob as he walked quickly accompanied by Ewald, Purple, and Rivera. “She's in the emergency room, Sir. Mrs. Kaye lost a lot of blood. Worse, the hospital is running low on blood,” replied Carter who was assigned to look after the Kaye family during her treatment. “Can't we ask for help from the Red Cross?” asked Purple. “It's done. But that's the way it is. There's a lot of paperwork involved,” Carter replied as he continued to walk beside Jacob. “Use my name to expedite the process,” Jacob replied as Carter nodded, then the man went to see the hospital staff to expedite the delivery of the blood bags. Arriving at the emergency room door, Morris and Kyle, who had been wait
The news of Rebecca Kaye's death has left the family in deep mourning. The funeral took place at the Kaye family estate. Rebecca Kaye was buried next to her husband. The mourners looked sad, although some of them used to dislike Rebecca's figure because she was known to be haughty and arrogant. However, all has passed. Jacob even gave his speech before the coffin was buried. “Mrs. Kaye, was a woman with a firm stand. She was firm and kind. If she had not been kind to me, I would have been homeless,” Jacob said, bringing tears to Kyle's eyes. The mourners fell silent, listening to Jacob's statement. “Maybe some people think what Mrs. Kaye and her family did was cruel. However, believe me. I'm still alive and... the pressure they taught me, prepared me for my exit from that mansion.” Samuel and Morris looked down in shame. Their faces were contorted. The memory of their behavior towards Jacob back then, made the feelings in both of their hearts hurt. “I am very grateful to Mr., Mrs. a
Jacob had been serious over the past few days because the day of judgment was about to arrive. The people who lived around Jacob could see the change in attitude. He was always awake in the middle of the night and only slept for two hours each day. Rivera, who was worried about her lover's mental and physical state, went to Jacob, who seemed to be seriously working on something in his study. “Hello, darling,” Rivera called as she opened the study door and walked in. “Are you awake?” Jacob asked as it was 1am. Rivera smiled as she walked gracefully over to her lover. Jacob smiled as the beautiful girl sat on one of his thighs and gently massaged his nape. “You're not the only one who's worried about the things we haven't resolved. But you need to rest your body and mind. If you push yourself too hard, you'll get stressed, your emotions will get out of control, and it'll ruin all the schedules you've organized. Trust your beautiful secretary's advice, dear,” Rivera said, making Jacob
That night, guests filled the ballroom with the Vertiland mansion that is now home to Jacob Wyatt Rodriguez. There was a standing ovation when they saw the appearance of Wyatt accompanied by Rivera Rose. All this time, they didn't know that Rivera had actually passed away and that the boutique business was secretly run by her only daughter. Rivera held Jacob's arm tightly. Although she smiled at the guests, Jacob could tell that she was nervous. Rivera was not used to meeting many people because she had kept to herself. "They admire you, Rose. Be confident," Jacob whispered, to which Rivera nodded with a smile. "She's beautiful. Young and talented," Lorena's mother whispered in praise, which was confirmed by her daughter. "Thank you for coming. Please have a seat," Jacob greeted as he invited his guests to take their seats. Rivera sat with Ewald, Purple and Ten at a round table close to the stage. Jacob stood on the stage proudly. The special suit Rivera designed for him, ma
The news that Jacob had invited former Torres workers and other prisoners to join his ranks caught the attention of the public, officials and other members of The Big 10. “Damn it. We're losing ground fast. Ayhner's son will get richer with his crazy idea,” Riddick said with an annoyed face. “The price is worth the effort, Dad. Don't be jealous,” the son said as he adjusted his tie in front of the television. Riddick frowned. “Yes, that's right. In fact, I think you should go into business with him. Investing and such. I'm sure Wyatt needs our support to build his business empire. That way, your wealth will grow too,” the daughter said as she stuffed some supplies into her briefcase. “We'll go first,” said the boy to which Riddick nodded. “We love you. Don't forget to take your vitamins,” the daughter said and kissed her father's right cheek lovingly. Riddick watched silently as his two children left. He was still sitting on the sofa and watching the morning news, making him thin
PIP! PIP! PIP! Jacob opened his eyes when he heard the alarm. He could feel someone hugging him tightly, as if disturbed by the sound. Jacob turned his head and saw Rivera as if reluctant to let him go. “No... no...,” Rivera called sadly with tears in her eyes. Jacob was also reluctant to part with his lover. However, he could not escape the law that was waiting for him. Jacob returned Rivera's hug and kissed her head gently. “Every other week, come visit,” Jacob said, resigned to his new destiny. “I'll come, I'll definitely come,” Rivera replied through her tears. Jacob was forced to let go of the embrace of his lover who had always accompanied his sleep in his last days. Jacob immediately got ready. Rivera, who did not want to lose the last moment with her lover, helped prepare the handsome man where this time, Jacob was not allowed to bring valuables. Rivera looked sad when she saw Jacob dressed simply. Just like Jacob who used to live in the Kaye family. “I'm used to living
