The news that Samara died left Torres stunned. The man could only remain silent as he watched Samara's body being removed from her cell. In a prison room containing 10 cells, only he was left alone. Who would have thought, as a result of the fight, eight other prisoners were in a coma due to severe injuries. Torres received another severe punishment in the form of isolation. He has no friends in the same room because there is only him. His prison room had no roof. If it rained heavily, he would get wet. When it was hot, he would overheat. Only during winter and snowfall was he moved to an inner prison. However, the place was no better as the walls of the prison were glass. All his movements were visible to all the guards who passed by. Torres was not allowed any interaction and was only allowed visitors once a month. However, until death claimed the people he had injured in a fight a few years ago, no one came to see him. He only realized that none of the people he had helped in t
Vertiland Mansion. The helicopter landed smoothly on the tarmac. Jacob's face lit up when he saw that his house looked as well-maintained as the first time he visited it. Jacob's smile grew as he stepped out of the helicopter holding little Rose's hand. The little girl looked up at her father who didn't stop smiling as he walked down the path. “Mr. Wyatt!” someone called out which made Jacob immediately stop his steps and turn his head. “Rafael!” replied Jacob who then hugged the man. Rafael was surprised because he was hugged like a brother. Jacob then held his shoulders with a smile of happiness. “You look great. How are you?” Jacob asked, which made Rafael even confused in answering. “We'll talk later. You have to tidy yourself up. Do you see how he looks, Raffy? He'll be undergoing special treatment,” Rivera emphasized. “Yes, Madam,” replied Rafael reluctantly. “Come on, darling. We don't have much time. You need to be ready before the guests arrive,” Rivera urged as s
After lunch, Jacob left with Ewald to discuss things in the workroom. Rivera was understanding and allowed her lover to settle back into the old life that awaited him. Purple, Rivera and Rose are still in the room preparing.Wyatt's workroom.Jacob seemed to miss the room that held many memories. It was the room where he learned to be a businessman. Ewald looked closely at Jacob who was sitting slowly in the chair left by Ayhner which was now replaced by him.“Ewald. Can I have my old mobile phone? It's been a long time since I've held that thing. Is there... any technological developments that I should learn about?” Jacob asked which made Ewald smile.“I had to change your phone to keep up with the times, Sir,” Ewald replied as he handed Jacob a black box with a red ribbon on it.Jacob smiled as he received it. The box contained a new mobile phone that was ready to be activated, making it feel like a gift. Ewlad looked closely at Jacob who quickly adapted to the functions on his mobi
The event was lively until late in the evening. Members of The Big 10 were in attendance. However, a businessman is still a businessman. In the excitement of the event, they continued to discuss business. However, Jacob's eyes were on Rivera and Rose. Rivera provided a special area for the kids to play. The girls were given a beautiful location to take pictures and chat. And the businessmen who wanted to discuss business were located in the lobby of the mansion so as not to be disturbed by the noise of the party. Vertiland mansion lobby. “We need to decide on a new member for The Big 10 soon, Wyatt. We have two vacant seats. With no strong ruler in the city, it will disrupt the city's economy. The impact is starting to be felt in Imperial and Albaros,” Riddick explained. “Have you tried contacting the mayor to see if there are any suitable candidates to replace the previous ruler?” Jacob asked. “Yes, I did. Fernando's family refused because none of their descendants were as strong
In the midst of the excitement over the good news coming from the Rivera and Jacob couple, Callie suddenly came to Rachel. The girl looked confused when she was invited to a corner of the room on the outside of the mansion by Callie. Ferdinand, who was congratulating the bride-to-be, did not realize that his lover was not beside him. Elberta, Emma, and Firenze also approached Rachel as if they had hidden intentions. “Did I do something wrong?” asked Rachel anxiously. “Your mistake is failing to get Ferdinand to refuse to sit in The Big 10 in place of his father,” said Elberta, making Rachel's face tense up instantly. “Persuade your boyfriend to accept our offer to become a member of The Big 10. If you refuse, I won't come to your wedding,” Callie replied harshly, causing Rachel to stammer in response. “W-what do I say to Ferdy?” asked Rachel frantically. Instantly, the women's smiles brightened. As expected, Rachel went to her lover and persuaded him. Ferdinand looked reluctant w
The news of Callie and Ferdinand agreeing to fill the two seats of the Mega-Power's leading businessmen group was welcomed by the community. The Fernando family, who initially refused, can now only offer their support and best wishes for one of their family members in office. The government, hearing the good news, gave their support and requested that the inauguration process be carried out immediately. That day, all members of The Big 10 gathered at the presidential palace to officiate the coronation ceremony of the two new members previously held by Obsidian and Fernando. However, Jacob, who at that time had not yet received the inauguration ceremony, took the oath. It was a solemn occasion when the president asked for their oaths of allegiance and service to the Mega-Power. Jacob, Callie, and Ferdinand took their oaths steadily, witnessed by high-ranking government officials, senior The Big 10 members, and their appointees. As the three Big 10 members who had just signed the in
Rose looked at her father intently. Jacob smiled as he took little Rose's hand to move closer to him. "What prayer do you want, sweetheart?" Jacob asked, leaving the guests stunned. As everyone prayed for Rose, Jacob asked her for a prayer request. "I want papa and mama to get married," she said, leaving Rivera stunned. "It will happen, sweetheart," Jacob replied with a smile. "I want us to live together. Papa shouldn't go back to prison. There, Rose won't be able to play with you," she said, causing Jacob to stare. There was worry on the little girl's face. "Papa will never go back to that place," Jacob answered in the end which made Rose happy. Ewald and the others smiled. They just found out that Rose had been thinking about her father's fate while in prison. "Anything else?" asked Jacob as he held two of his daughter's hands gently. "I want to go to school, Papa. Rose wants to learn to dance, sing and play music," she said excitedly. "Of course. We'll find a school for
Jacob and Pavel ran towards the glass wall as Torres injured hisself. “Torres, stop it! You're killing yourself!” shouted Jacob as Torres' nose and mouth were bleeding from the violent impact. “Code 5! Spray!” ordered Pavel over the radio. Instantly, the top of the glass tube appeared a white gas that covered the place where Torres was locked up. Jacob was startled and looked at Pavel intently. However, the fierce-faced guard only glanced at him silently in response. Suddenly, Torres was no longer raging. He drooped limply and lay on the floor of his cage. The gas slowly faded and was sucked back in by the device attached to the roof of the cage. “Is it some kind of nerve tranquilizer gas?” Jacob asked, guessing. “Yes. It's our anticipation of special prisoners who intend to harm themselves. This is the first time Torres has done this,” Pavel replied which made Jacob take a deep breath. “Torres,” Jacob called out when he saw the old man helpless with his face covered in blood.
