AT JORDAN'S VER-DONA'S VILLA"Is that another threat, Brandon?" Jordan Ver-Dona asked furiously. His men got the van ready, and they cuffed Hailey. They dragged her along with them in the car. "You are coming with me to the station, Brandon; if you don't go with ease, I’ll drag you there myself," Jordan said vicariously. He pulled out his gun and pointed at Brandon. "Ah ah ha ha, you amaze me, you’re not only stubborn, you’re also shortsighted. I hope you see clearly today.""Visiting the police station was not one of my plans today, but you’re like my father in-law now, and I wouldn’t want to disrespect you so. I’ll go with you," Brandon replied. "But boss, are you really going there?" We can’t trust these guys," Madrigal whispered in his ear."I drive my car; you don’t expect me to take that; I'm no criminal anyway," Brandon laughed. He got in the car with Madrigal and asked him to drive. Jordan Ver-Dona stopped them from leaving. He insisted on riding with Brandon and Ma
AT THE CLUB. Torillio was sitting at the VIP table, rolling his cigar and drinking liquor, while the cool music serenaded the place. "Do you want anything, sir?" the waiter asked him."No, I am waiting for an old friend; lead him here when he comes," Torillio commanded. "Sir, there is a man who’s been waiting for you; should I call him up?" The waiter asked carefully, fearing for his life."Which man? How does he look like?" Torillio asked. "Bring him here; I have no appointment with anyone else but him," he replied aptly. The waiter rushed out to get the man. He was in a blue tuxedo, and he wore an eye patch."Oh... my old fiend, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting; I didn’t know you'd arrived." Torillio stood up and shook hands with him. "Sit, why do you want to see me?" Torillio asked. "I am done playing the loyal fool; I have served him and his family for years, and he still treats me like thrash.""Like Thrash, you mean like a bastard?" Torillio asked with a dark smir
"Uhhh, I don’t know; maybe he sat on the wrong table. Have your seat, beautiful?" Torillio replied, drawing out a chair for her. "I don’t know, but I felt like I knew him from somewhere; it was so clear, just that the person doesn’t use eye patches," Vanessa insisted. She took her seat and ordered another drink. "Can you ever stop vaping, smoking, and the like? It’s bad for your health," Vanesa reacted. "How about you come into my life and help me?" he responded with a broad smile. Toirllio stretched his hands across the table and touched hers. "Pretty woman, what do you want from Torllio? I know it’s beyond condolences," Torillio said, lifting up her hands from the table and kissing them. "Let me guess: you want me to make Brandon pay for kidnapping you or because of your post, the one I gave to Alianna?" Torillio uttered lightly. "It’s complicated; I don’t want blood on my hands; I will just let Brandon go. To be honest, I was disheartened when I knew she was your
AT THE GLASS HOUSE. RAD followed Stephanie inside the room where Grandma Pillar was. She was sucking up tears as she spoke to her. "I can’t kill you, Grandma Pillar; you were strict with me, but you never harmed me in any way, Think Stephanie, you can’t do this," she brooded . "Hey Stephanie," Andallio called her softly."I didn’t know you were here. Did everyone leave?" she asked warily. Andallio went over to the bed. He sat down beside his mother and sobbed too. "Do you think she’ll make it?" he asked."We have to be the strength of this family, and we have to be positive; she is the pride of this family," Stephanie replied, consoling him. "Who is her successor?" Andallio asked strenuously. The dmaped face that was in ears had turned dark aptly, mussed with desperate emotions. "What do you mean by that Andalio, how would I know?" Stephanie retirted. "We both know, so don’t pretend," Andalio conferred. "I have no idea what it is you’re talking about," she aptly re
AT BRANDON’S MANSION. Brandon called for a meeting with Estrellia and his own team as soon as he alighted from the car. "Where is Marcellus?" he asked Nathalie. "I have been too busy to ask for an update about the company; it’s late; isn’t he back?" he asked concernedly. "He didn’t tell you?" Nathalie asked. "Tell me what?" Brandon retorted. "Marcellus had taken a break earlier from work to go to the hospital. He’s been feeling weak for days and didn’t bother telling anyone," she replied."I will pay him a visit; down to why I called for this meeting, Torillio found my son and Nanny Carlotta; they are not safe any longer," he voiced aptly. Their faces were brimming with disbelief. "That’s nearly impossible; I saw to it that no one knew; it was an inside job," Estrellia responded angrily. "This is not the time to defend anyone’s self, what do we do? Nothing must happen to my son again," Brandon coerced. "Yes, boss, should we kill him? That's the best way," Estrellia
AT THE GLASS HOUSE. "Who turned off the lights?" Don Soriano asked, panicking. "Who is there?" he yelled. His men rushed in. "CODE RED, we’ve been breached!" he yelled. The lights suddenly came on, and everything seemed normal. "To the hospital now!" Don Soriano commanded The whole arena was cleared. The guards were in their posts, and there were men at the door. "Did anyone come in?" Don Soriano asked angrily. "No, sir, not without your permission," they replied. He ordered them to open the door. Grandma Pillar was doing just fine; he checked the room and the windows and called on the doctor in charge. "How is she doing?" he asked. The doctor went over to her. His hands were shaking, and he peed on his body. "Why are you so nervous? What’s going on?" Don Soriano asked vilely."I swear she was fine when I left." The doctor uttered in tears. He fell to his knees, crying. The emergency alarm went off. The other doctors ran in, trying really hard to save Grandma Pillar’s
AT THE WAKE II "Vanessa! Vanessa !! Vanessa!!!" Torillio called, looking for her outside the hall. She didn’t hear as she was chattering with Esmeralda. "Hey babe, I have been looking for you all over the hall; come in. I want to introduce you to a few friends," Torllio said, handing his hands to her. "Won’t you introduce me to her formally? Don’t be a big baby tonight," Esmeralda uttered, winking at Torillio. Madrigal’s car drove violently into the hall, parking beside Esmeralda."Who is that?" Vanessa asked anxiously. Their reckless driving scared her to death. Madrigal came down from the car wearing just camouflaged trunks and a vest. He tucked his gun inside his pocket and walked up to Esmeralda. "The audacity, I like it," Torllio arced."Good evening, ma’am. Can I have a word with you?" Madrigal asked Esmeralda, "I will be back, you two, excuse me," she said lightly. She went over to meet Madrigal. "We’ve been calling you, but you haven’t responded. I have bee
AT THE GLASS HOUSE. Andallio was completely knocked out when Don Soriano’s men got inside his room. It was all scattered, and beer bottles were littered around the room. They reported back to him, but he insisted that they bring him where he was."Calm down, old man; you just heard that he’s drunk; it can’t be him," Olvido said carefully."So was it me then? Was it me who killed her?" Don Soriano arched painfully. He banged his hands on the door and removed it angrily. He placed his hand on his face to wipe off his little tears and sweat."What is on your face?" Olvido asked curiously, staring at his face wildly. He moved closer to Don Soriano and checked. Don Soriano also checked himself and smelled it."It’s blood, blood; they were here, Olvido," Don Soriano freaked out. He summoned his men to check the area, and the floors should be opened up. They diverted their attention to the terrace and began the search."Boss, we found two men!" One of his men yelled, and a gunshot sou
