Sahara was taken to a place, neat and luxurious-looking. She didn't know where it was, but she believed it was probably the place where the person who invited her lived.Verlaine."Welcome, Mistress Sahara."Sahara was momentarily taken aback, feeling her breath catch for a few seconds as she looked back at Verlaine's face-when she already knew who Verlaine was.Verlaine watched from her seat, Sahara's tense face that could not be hidden no matter how calmly she acted. It made Verlaine feel a little comforted."From your expression, it seems you already know who I am, huh...?" asked Verlaine, breaking the silence and again making the heart of the woman in front of him race faster. Verlaine crossed his legs casually and said, "Do not be afraid, Madame. I did not lie when I spoke about myself in front of you that time, did I?""But you are the enemy of Victor...?""Yes, I am his enemy." Right now every word that came out of Verlaine's mouth felt like an electric shock that made Sahara g
The unexpected and small encounter left Violet a little confused. Sahara hadn't told her that she was coming to Violet's place unexpectedly.Because of that, Violet couldn't have prepared a better welcome than to host her mother at one of the restaurants close to Victor's apartment. Violet left all her groceries behind and brought her mother to this place. However, all the two of them did was remain silent.Violet really didn't know what to say. Even asking how she was feeling was hesitant, like she was a daughter being picked on by her mother for leaving home with a strange man. Every now and then Violet glanced at Sahara's face. The woman was also, without Violet expecting it, staring at her without seeming to have anything to say. Suddenly, Sahara's cold gaze fell on Violet's hand on the table, a hand tightly wrapped in bandages.Violet gasped, then hurriedly withdrew her hand in a normal, contrived gesture. Of course it was obvious to Sahara's eyes, but Violet foolishly tried
Miguel couldn't calm down at all after finding out what happened without him realizing it. He had been enjoying his time in his luxurious prison so much that he had neglected to keep an eye on his family. "Even though I knew he had shown himself, I knew he was planning something. But I didn't realize that he approached my daughter as a friend. Poor Tiffany, she fell into that man's trap! What should I do? ...." Miguel didn't fall asleep, he couldn't sleep and was only worried about Tiffany. "Should I tell Karina the truth? She can separate Tiffany from Xiel as soon as possible," Miguel was sure of the idea, but then he hesitated. "No... if Karina makes the wrong decision out of panic, I don't know what Xiel would do to my family. He might kill them to get back at me." Miguel squeezed his hair, almost frustrated at being so worried. Until he fell silent. "But Xiel became a friend to Tiffany who was always ostracized, he even helped Tiffany and got back at the people who bullied
[Denver]Xiel came to visit Tiffany at her home again today, and Tiffany welcomed him happily.Tiffany invited Xiel to chat in the garden, with tea and some sweet desserts for them."Do you like sweets?" asked Tiffany, "I feel a little guilty for only giving you sweets, even though I really like them.""No problem, I can eat them. But you can't have too many sweets.""Roger, sir!" Tiffany smiled brightly and Xiel was also happy to see her.After trying to regain Tiffany's trust, Xiel could see the girl smiling again without any wariness towards him.After his conversation with Miguel that night, Xiel had great confidence that his threat would worked this time. Soon Miguel would definitely contact him and give Xiel what he wanted.After that, Xiel should have no more business with Tiffany. Xiel was only using her to threaten his father, to get what he wanted.But Xiel had come back, and for a moment he had questioned his real reason for seeing Tiffany again today."How are you, Tiffany
"She looks so much better than before. Mr. Addams has been very helpful in Tiffany's recovery, especially for her trauma. Tiffany said she's going back to school tomorrow. Although I'm a little anxious, but I'm glad that I don't see that big fear in her eyes anymore. I also heard that the people who bullied her have been punished by the school and of course by the neighborhood; the incident of the bullying footage being played in the school show is iconic. I want to thank whoever did it for helping my daughter feel better." Miguel just listened to his wife speak from the phone call. She looked happy and Miguel didn't have the heart to tell her the truth. "You sound very grateful that Mr. Axelio Addams was there for Tiffany." "Of course I am! Aren't you grateful? If Mr. Addams hadn't told me, I would never have known that Tiffany had been hiding something so big. She never had any friends and it killed her personality slowly. Also about what you did... it affected her very badly."
[New Orleans]Victor swore he no longer wanted to be involved with anything related to Violet. Victor didn't want to look like a pathetic person who seemed to still be expecting Violet.But after hearing the information Ella got about the man in young Sahara's photo, Victor continued to feel curious and wanted to find out more."Maybe the real reason I wanted to find out more wasn't because I didn't have anything to do and just expected Violet all day," said Victor, driving his car while continuing to remembering the smile of the man in the photo."Matthias Smith...," Victor said his name, "he was Mrs. Sahara's school friend but it seems like they were once more than friends. In the photo they look very happy, like a couple."Victor stopped in front of a tall and large building. He got out of his car to see the building better, with a serious face typical of a detective."This building is a theater owned by The Smiths Family's foundation, and Matthias Smith is the next prospective own
"I'm pleased to meet you today, Mr. Victor. I heard that Violet works for your company." Scarlett finished accompanying Victor for a look around, and they were about to part ways due to their busy schedules. Scarlett escorted Victor out. "Yes, Violet works at my place. She's an artistic genius and for a company that produces the beauty and artistry of jewelry, I really need someone like her." "I see. She will definitely be an art enthusiast too." "Pardon?" Victor looked at Scarlett, questioning the meaning of the woman's last words. For some reason Victor felt that Scarlett was speaking as if she knew Violet well, or maybe it was just like that. "Mrs. Scarlett, do you know Violet too?" asked Victor. He held back a lot even though there was also a lot he wanted to ask Scarlett, but he held back out of politeness. Scarlett smiled, but she looked sad as she said, "I hope so. But I've had enough of everything, and I'm just happy to meet the people who work with Violet here. Are yo
"As we know, Axielo went undercover as Axelio Addams, an intern teacher at Miguel Anderson's daugher school. He used that trick to get close to Tiffany Anderson and it looks like he succeeded." Antonio looked serious listening to Verlaine's explanation. "I know that he used that cheap trick, but he succeeded?" "Yes. He used it to threaten Miguel and get what he wanted from Miguel, and since Miguel loves his family, especially his daughter, it looks like he will do what Axielo wants." "Are you sure?" Verlaine didn't answer. He handed over his cell phone and played a voice recording of the conversation between Miguel and Xiel that night. "This is the voice recording I got after a guard gave it to me. He knows that we know what he's doing, but he keeps saying nonsense as if he has nothing to fear from us." Antonio listened, and his forehead furrowed sharply when Miguel said his deal offer. "He plans to betray us, father. What are you going to do?" Antonio didn't say anything, bu
