AT THE GLASS HOUSEUnlike every other day, the whole family was present, and they were waiting for up to an hour for Grandma Pliar. "Are you sure she ain’t dead?" Herveaux asked jokingly."Just shut up; you sound disgusting!" Olvido retorted. "Where is your woman? Is it all talk? Did she just use you?" Herveax asked mockingly."Mock me all you want! It's way better than all your failed plans!" Olvido reiterated. Gwendoyn had to settle in. Stephanie came in to meet them. "What's wrong? Does she know we are here?" Olvido asked harshly. "Grandma Pilar would meet you all on the terrace, and she said you all better be there on time!" Stephanie bowed and left, shoving aside all their questions and abuse.Grandma Pilar wanted to view the whole arena from where she sat. open to nature’s natural effects and beauty. "Have you called them?""Yes, Grandma Pilar, I did just now," she bowed and was about to leave. "Wait, Stephanie, you still have one more thing to do for me," she said. She moved
AT KIMBERLY’S APARTMENT."I know the perfect song for a mod like this Brandon," Kimberly went and turned on the stereo to an upbeat song; they wanted Brandon to strip for them just as Kimberly had promised. His punishment for humiliating her at the coffee café."Just stop all of these; I'd never do that!" Brandon remarked. He sat down on the couch next to Kimberly. "You don’t have a choice, my husband; it’s a must!" she snapped. Kimberly’s friend served them all some champagne, and she gave a glass to Brandon."You’re all talk, Kimberly," she hissed. Kimberly was annoyed. "Strip now or the deal is off; remember you still have three days to clear out everything that’s on you!" Kimberly threatened.Brandon laughed wildly as he drank from the glass. "Fine, I’d do what you want, but before that, I need to talk to Estrellia" Brandon said soothingly. He licked her ears sultrily with his tongue and kissed her on the nape of her neck.Kimberly blushed in a dire expression of her desire for hi
AT THE JEWELRY STORE.Torillio was sitting on the couch with a vape in his hand. "She’s ignoring my calls; she’s new." "Is she really ready to work?" He puffed the smoke in circles."What's your plan, boss?" "Fight Brandon?" his men asked him."No Santiago" "This issue is different, whether I fight him or not. Time will tell." Torillio opened up the drape. "She is here. Let her in immediately."They welcomed Vanessa into his office. "Sit down!" Torrilio ordered anxiously. "Why weren't you picking up my call?""I’m sorry, I was in a…. It's complicated. I'm here now. She replied, stammeringly. "It's no problem. Your stupid brother will be joining us. We're sure he’ll meet us here.""Whats wrong? Were you crying?" Torillio asked Vanessa. Her eyes were heavy and red. "No," she said, sniffing heavily in her breath."Just get yourself in order; I hope you’ll function better that way!" Torillio frowned. He gave the wipes box to Vanessa. She wiped her face with it. Torillio held her face i
AT THE COMPNAY. Arturo was fuming when he arrived at the company. He was told off by the secretary that there wasn’t any meeting between the shareholders, but he wasn’t leaving, regardless. He wanted to meet with the board members.Brandon went to see Arturo after he spotted him on the walkway. He didn’t have an office on standby, but he was already at the waiting center when Brandon got to him."Did Olvido kill my father?" he asked bracingly. Arturo peered at him vilely. "There's no proof; all I know for now is that he did poison the office.""But for what? He could have just killed him if he wanted." Brandon responded promptly. "I will avenge Don Soriano’s death at all costs!" Arturo arced fastidiously."Leave it to me or as well work with me like you did with my father," Brandon stretched out his hands to Arturo.Arturo laughed mockingly. "You must be joking, right?""I see, because you got married to Kimberly and somehow got Hailey on your side, you think you’re strong enough
AT THE GLASS HOUSE. "Don’t you think it’s too early for him to start exercising his powers? He’s not even installed yet!" Olvido raced as the door opened. He was partially drunk when he got the impromptu call. "You have no choice; you had a chance to stop him!" Andallio raged. Grandma Pilar walked into the living room with Stephanie. "Why is your smile so noticeable and contagious today, Grandma Pilar?" Herveaux pulled a deceitful joke on her."It’s a smile of relief that someone finally got a simple job done after all this time." She replied rustily. "Yeah, that must be her; welcome her in, Stephanie."Stephanie went outside the house. She returned with Esmeralda and some other men who worked for Grandma Pilar. They handed the briefcase to Grandma Pilar. "There’s no point in celebrating a fake chip; it's as good as useless!" Olvido snapped. "But it does add to our net worth and list of properties; I envy you, Esmeralda; you are worth the hype." Andallio praised her and raised a
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
