Madrigal was silent all through the ride. Mussed with a smudged, rowdy shade. "Loosen up, should I tell them all out?" Esmeralda said, teasing Madrigal. "Please, ma’am, I am here to protect you; I would appreciate it if you let me do just that," Madrigal uttered viciously. Esmeralda ordered that they stopped the bus. She jumped out of the bus. "Send my greetings to Grandma Pilar; Madrigal would take me home; I don’t want to raise suspicion or draw more attention to myself." The drivers and bodyguards assigned to accompany her home were objective, but she successfully convinced them. They allowed her to leave with Madrigal. "Wait a second, there is no car or any means of transportation? How do you plan on getting home?" one of Grandma Pilar’s guards asked out of the blue. "Don’t worry, my ride is around the corner. I have placed an order, okay, and more so, you all know Madrigal, don’t you? He was trained by Grandma Pilar himself!" Esmeralda conferred. They left at last af
AT BLACK DIAMOND’S GUEST HOUSE.It was dawn, and the dew was still falling in dire preparation for the soon-coming sun. Marcellus room was broken into by some men. They overturned the place, searching for some documents."Santiago, I don’t think they're still in here; he’s no dummy to keep them here!" One of the men spoke up. Santiago was seated comfortably on the bed. He wasn’t searching but just observing the whole place. He stood up and went to the television stand. He pulled the closet open. He found a white envelope inside it. "Gracious goodness, you all should learn fast! Let’s go!" he commanded the other men. They rearranged the place perfectly before they departed. "Can we at least know what’s in there?" "You talk too much; no one has said anything aside from you, young man!" Santiago responded harshly. He was pissed off by his questions. They got out of the building unnoticed. "You all go back to the boss; I'll be joining you soon; I need to get some things done!"
AT BRANDON'S MANSION.Brandon gave his phone to Madrigal. He read out the message he saw on it. "YOUR SON’S LIFE OR YOUR POST AS ONE OF THE FIVE, YOU HAVE JUST A DAY""Damn!" "Thos people would never stop, will they?" Madrigal exclaimed. He was furious and couldn’t curtail his anger. He punched the wall hardly that his hands bled. "That’s not what you should be doing; we need to get to work," Estrellia advised. "Where is Esmeralda?" Brandon asked Madrigal. "I left her at home. I came here as soon as I got your message, boss," Madrigal responded. "I need to find my son; he should be at the Silverrio's," Brandon uttered sadly. "We can't just go in there and grab him; it might be traumatizing for the little boy," Nathalie suggested."Have you heard from the protector? It's been a while since he said anything. This is the time we need any of his hidden treasures," Marcellus replied. "No, not one. I will protect Junior at all costs; I don’t care if I have to break into the house
“Hello! Hello!! Hello!!!” “Fuck!!!” Brandon exclaimed as he smashed his cellphone angrily. “No, not my son” He gruented. Madrigal helped him up form the floor. Arturo and his men stopped tourturing Olvido. “What do you want to do Brandon?” Arturo asked him vilely. He didn’t seem interested in helping Brandon. He was more on the bench of avengigng Don Sorianoo’s death. “I don’t know, the caller didn’t leave any further information! He just told me he’s with my son!” he responded sadly.“Don’t fall for any of their tricks boss, we need to think clearly. You said we would be seeingng Hailey and Kimberly soon isn’t it? Let’s go there!” Madrigal suggested. He felt the call was just for a diversion. If the caller really had Junior he would have stated hwere and what he wanted him to do.“They want my post as one of the five, isn’t that enough reason to call me and keep shut?” Brandon yelled at Madrigal. He took his smashed phone and hadded to the car. “Boss, where are we going?”
Brandon was inside the car with Madrigal after leaving the Silverrio mansion. He wasn’t fully convinced that Frederick had no hand in whatever happened to his son. "What do we do, boss?" Madrigal asked him. "We wait; once Estrellia confirms that she's at her father's, we’ll join them there. She’d definitely know where our son was taken," Brandon replied. Estrellia and her men got to the Alvarez’s apartment. They weren't as welcoming as soon as they heard that they were from Brandon himself. After threats and a tense argument and connotation. They told them Aliana wasn’t home and allowed them to check forcefully. EstrellIa was also beginning to get uncomfortable with the whole twist. Junior’s mother was missing. Maybe they should rather be looking for her and not Junior himself. Estrellia gave Brandon the feedback. Brandon wasn’t happy. He had a tiny glimmer of hope of finding Aliana at her father's house. "Don’t worry, I'll keep trying until I find him," Brandon responded. "Ma
"Cash," the man uttered bluffingly. Brandon put a call in to the company and gave them an ultimatum to bring that mount to his location. The people at the place thought they were joking and just making a scene until they arrived in a lackluster convoy. Everyone was dressed in black suits and carrying money bags. They brought it to Brandon in the hall, where he and Madrigal were waiting. "How much do you think it is? You might need your staffs to help you start counting, Mr. Man!" Brandon yelled. The whole crowd was gazing at Brandon. Some of them took out their phones and took pictures and recorded videos of how money was being brought. "The money is here, I think we need some appear work to get things over and done with!" Brandon remaraked. He was angry and desperate."If he had this much money, why doesn't he have a plane?" One of his workers muttered. "Shut up!" the owner of the illegal company ordered. "I am Kylian Eduardo, you will have my company, come with me!""I
AT THE SIVERRIO'SMarcellus ran up the stairs with some of Estrellia’s men. They opened up the wardrobe and found Aliana tied up. She was unconscious but still alive. They carried her out and brought her to the sitting room. Nanny Catherine tried to revive her. "I think we all saw it now, and I have every right to think your son was linked to Junior’s disappearance." Nathalie yelled. Don Silverrio was getting better. They helped him up, released him from the ties, and allowed him some air. Nathalie had to let Fidelin go so he could give him his drugs."No one leaves this place!" Nathalie called Brandon. She realized he had been calling them. Brandon picked up the call immediately. "What the report?" "We found Aliana, boss, but she’s unconscious. We have the CCTV. We are still watching; there is no proof the boy left this house, aside Fredrick.""Fredrick was the only one that left the house," Nathalie responded. She got off the call with Brandon. "Please, she needs to be take
AT TORRILLIO’S MANSION. Vanessa rolled to the extreme side of the bed. She woke up when she hit the wall. "Where am I?" she blurted. "Oh. No! I slept off after drinking heavily last night,""Ouch," she shouted lightly, holding her head. "I think I have a hangover," she managed to get up on her feet. She found the bathroom and washed her face. "Where is my phone? Where is everyone?" she uttered. She walked out of the room and saw just Torillio’s bodyguards in the sitting room. "Good evening, ma'am. How may we be of help to you?" One of them asked her. "Where is Torillio?" she asked sharply. "He left for work, you’ve been sleeping since morning, ma'am," he responded humbly. "That can't be; do you by any means know where he kept my phone?" Vanessa responded. They didn’t know where it was, but they offered to help her find it. "Do you have any idea where you must have left it?" "Yeah, we were at the bar when we returned; that’s all I can recall," Vanessa responded bemusedl
