The doubt starts floating above his head. Fears that his presence there might already be known begin creeping inside his heart.

If it’s true that the man has noticed and recognized him, this will only make his attempt to look for the man to be even harder. He even starts feeling that he may be currently watched.

He looks around, and also above the rooftop. But the dawn is so quiet. There’s almost no one there.

He decides to move to another place, to an alley on the next building. He tries to get away from the open space to avoid being noticed, while he keeps observing that trash can from there.

He waits a little longer until that place starts becoming a bit crowder. And then, a garbage truck arrives, and Alex is worried that they will throw all the contents of that trash can into their truck.

“Hey, hold on!” he calls as he rushes toward the trash man.

“What?”

“There’s something in that trash can that belongs to me.”

“Yeah!”

The man frowns, thin

    He takes a look at his wristwatch, and realizes it is almost time for him to get to the office. He knows Sofia will soon call for him to get ready. But all he cares about is the rest of the money he didn’t get from her. “Should I just ask for more?” he mumbles in pondering, thinking about squeezing Sofia’s money once again. And then, he hears the cousin is asking about him to someone outside. “Has Dylan come out of his room yet?” “Um, I haven’t seen him yet,” replies the maid. Knowing that Sofia is going to check on him, he rushes to collect the money. “Dylan! Are you ready yet? We are going to be late!” “Aren’t you the Boss! Nobody would mind if you are late,” replies Dylan as he begins to frantically collect all the money. “What was that? If you keep that kind of mindset, I’m going to look for someone else to replace you! You hear me!” Dylan just ignores her. He is still so hectic, looking for a place where he should hide the money.

    On the way, Boris doesn’t tell Sofia about the plastic bag which only contained a pile of papers. This is all at Alex's own request.It was also because of Boris himself, who was so sure that Sofia really put money in that plastic bag. If he tells her now that they took the bag and found no money, Sofia might accuse them of deceiving her and taking the money for themselves.After all, he hasn’t told Sofia at all that Alex himself was involved. If he tells her, most likely she won’t trust him even more due to her hatred toward Alex. The least he can do is to give Sofia a sketch of a face of the man with the unaligned front teeth.“Is this the man who blackmailed me?” asks Sofia.“Most likely,” replies Boris.“How are you so sure? If your friend really met the man, couldn’t he just get him?”“It’s not that simple! He had waited for the man to pick the money until morning, but no one picked it until a garbage collector threw the contents of the trash can into their truck,” explains Boris

But she will always live with me in my house,” she offers.“That’s not fair!” Alex argues.He then starts thinking for a moment impatiently, before offering his own option. “Let her live with me for 15 days in a month, and she will live with you the next 15 days.”Sofia immediately turns around, and shows her contorted fa

If it’s all for money, she is willing to cast her pride aside.“Oh, you're much fresher than yesterday,” she says as a greeting.“That’s the benefit of having a whole night good rest,” replies Alex composedly, without taking his attention from the car he is going to purchase.Lea immediately starts the introduction, describing all the good aspects and features that one car has.“Mercedes S600 Guard, huh? You really have an eye for the best car for businessmen,” she starts before walking toward the left door and opens it.Alex takes a walk to look at the interior of the car.

Can you leave us for a second!” “Yes, Sir!” Bennet waits for a moment for that new employee leaving him and Alex alone before expressing an apology to Alex. But Alex is the first one who begins the talk. “Really, you shouldn’t be too hard on him.” Those words shake Bennet’s attention. He then just smiles awkwardly, and then expresses his apology on behalf of his staff. “I’m sorry for the inconvenience you had yesterday. It was my fault for not being here.

He simply shakes his head, and intends to make his business with Sofia as short as possible. “Sorry! I come here only to borrow your money! I have to travel to Jakarta tomorrow. Maybe I can get a clue about Elly's whereabouts there. If not, I will continue my search to Singapore, and maybe Thailand too,” explains Alex. Sofia is silent for a moment. She gets an impression that Alex is only looking for their daughter without any clues, and simply going to places in desperation. “Do you really believe she might be in these countries?” she asks unsurely. “Is she really still alive?” Alex takes a deep breath. “Do you think I do this out of my ignorance? The person who kidnapped Elly had sold her to a child tra

Among the people present at that time, there is also Miles Benet, who comes over to Alex with a happy face.“Hey, is that true? You became one of the Overseers replacing Morgan Davis?”But Alex just puts on a flat face. He continues to walk away while looking at Benet coldly without saying anything.“Hey, Alex!” Benet calls him.“Shut up! Never put on that naïve face in front of me,” says Alex as he keeps walking away by only showing his back. “I already know your true color.”Boris arrives and intends to support Alex who looks in pain.

Alex glances at them for a moment, and then gives a solemn nod lightly. “That’s settled then,” Freedie Berker affirms immediately. “We will announce about this news later, and maybe hold an official meeting with the Administrators to introduce you as the new leader of The Catacomb.” “No, wait!” Alex interferes with him immediately. “If possible, let it stay like how it used to be. I don’t mind with me being the only true leader, but let the others know that I’m just one of the Overseers.” “So, you want to keep this secrecy just like what Morgan did this whole time?” Alex nods lightly. “Everyone?” Freedie Berker asks the other Overseers. None of the other Overseers shows their objection. “Okay, then! We will do just as you want,” says Freedie Berker to Alex. “But we have to postpone the official inaug

However, she lowers the car window while giving a sign to the driver not to leave yet.“You should know, just being vice president won't allow me to do much,” Rusli explains his situation.“That's why, don't be satisfied with just aiming to become vice president. You have a brother in parliament, a nephew at the police headquarters, and your electability is quite high. Aim for the number one,” Saniyah provokes him.“It's useless to have high electability if there is no support from the coalition for me as a presidential candidate,” argues Rusli.“Then, just ignore that coalition. Hasn’t your party passed the presidential threshold for this?” Saniyah replies rhetorically.“Don't be naive. That will only make me lose support,” Rusli retorts.Saniyah slowly turns her face to Rusli by raising one of her eyebrows. “I know, in this country there is a secret organization that operates behind the scenes, who

She won’t be able to follow our conversation,” explains* Lisa.That mother, Rosdiana, gets to the door and then takes a peek at Elly for a glance.“One look and you can tell that she is a foreigner. She doesn’t understand Minang language at all,” Lisa continues*, getting out of her mother’s room, and then takes Elly to the living room.As if understanding the situation, Rosdiana follows her daughter in a hurry, and immediately asks openly in front of Elly without hiding anything.“Did your father take her home?” she asks*.Lisa doesn’t say anything. She only shows her gloomy face.“Don’t tell me…”As if knowing what’s inside her mother’s mind, Lisa just nods lifelessly.

But then, she hears her father calling from inside the house. And that calling attracts the guard’s attention. “What’s now?” The man whines*, leaving the cat and rushes inside the house. Lisa knows her father must be looking for her and Elly at the moment. She immediately runs away while holding Elly's hand, heading toward the side door of the yard fence. Meanwhile, Rusli is looking so mad, pacing around inside the house looking for his daughter. He has entered the room where he kept Elly, but not finding the kid there. “Lisa!!!!” He opens the door to Lisa’s room, and he doesn’t find anyone there either.

    As that girl heads to the kitchen, she finds her dad has just come home from work. For some reason, she rushes to the kitchen, seeming to avoid meeting her own father.

To be exact, he is actually one of the most known people in this country, Rusli Gunawan, who is currently running a political campaign as one of Indonesia's vice presidential candidates. As much as she wants to avoid him, the father still finds her in the kitchen. And oddly, her face suddenly turns so pale. “How is she doing?” asks the man, talking in his native language, Bahasa Minang. “She’s already asleep in her room,” replies* the girl, holding the cup of the drink with shaking hands. The father takes a glance at the cup she is holding. And so, that girl just reaches out to him. “Um… I prepared this for you!” The father smiles, and then strokes the girl’s hair gently. “Lisa! You are a good girl. But sadly, you turned adult too soon.” He then leaves by taking the cup of drink

But now, after seeing Morgan Davis right in front of him, he’s just standing there not knowing what to do.It doesn’t mean he no longer hates him. But he finds it hard to vent his anger toward him, despite how mad his face currently is.“She is my disciple, but she has nothing to do with your grudge. If you hate me that much, feel free to leash that demon and kill me,” utters Morgan, calmly provoking Alex to attack him.“Thank you for making it easier to kill you.”Alex makes up his mind to kill that old man. The two of Morgan’s bodyguards look so ready to fight Alex, but Morgan immediately spreads his arms to halt them. The same with Boris, immediately holds both of Alex’s arms from behind.“Fuck!
