AT THE GLASS HOUSE. "What the F***!" Brandon yelled. He and Esmeralda drifted farther from the body in fear. Brandon looked up immediately. There is no one up there. "Help!!!" He shouted. The guards ran out to them. "What just happened here?" They asked Brandon. "Call the ambulance!" Esmeralda yelled. "There is a hospital inside; it belongs to her," Brandon exclaimed. They hurriedly followed them inside. "What on earth is happening? We just ended the meeting a few minutes ago, and I need every piece of CCTV footage in this house now!" Don Soriano shouted ragingly. "Someone call the police," he added. "No way!" Olvido refused bluntly. "What do you mean by that? We have the police; how do we explain this? What, is she dead?" Don Soriano questioned wildly."She was the one who laid down that rule, and I won’t allow it get broken," Olvido insisted. "Do you know what you’re saying, this is murder, homicide?" Don Soriano yelled terrifically. "I know, when you
AT BRANDON’S MANSION. "Wow, this place looks magnificent; your favorite color is blue." Esmeralda asked softly. "Why are you asking?" "Look at everything, from the pool to the chandelier to the interiors and exteriors, it’s a blue major," she responded, laughing. "Look, Esmeralda, I can take you on a tour around the house; some other times, are you really going to wave everything that happened at the glass house aside?" Brandon asked"I didn’t wave anything aside; you’ve been silent since we left, and I didn’t utter a word either. What’s the fuss for?" Esmeralda replied, atylishly will her eyes rolled."To be honest, I love this apartment, and I need to know who designed it. Is it from our company? No, I don’t think so; it can’t get past me," Esmeralda uttered sleekly. "You've got the gold mine for them using Vanessa, isn’t it?" Brandon queried."It was her choice; I didn’t force her; it was all her," Esmeralda replied. "That’s by the way, Vanessa is no kid; she should kn
AT THE GLASS HOUSE.Don Soriano opened up the letter from RAD. It was stained with blood, and the inscription was also written in red ink. "Not enough to scare me, RAD, or whatever you call yourself," Don Soriano muttered angrily. ~The old chick should be off the block~~Don’t blame me I was paid to pull the Glock~~And I paid to stop her ticking clock~ "RUBBISH!!!" Don Soriano yelled. He squeezed the paper and threw it to the ground. "How dare he?" He wrote stupid rhymes and thinks he’s passing a message?"Don Soriano walked back inside the house in annoyance. "What is It brother?" Herveaux asked intently. Don Soriano handed the letter over to him. He read it out loud and hissed. "Don’t let our attention be diverted; it might just be feigned to shy us away from the truth," Herveaux replied. "I don’t need to take orders from anyone of you; I will think by myself," Don Soriano responded. "Give me your phone," he commanded Herveaux. "You’re calling the police?" he a
AT TORILLIO’S MANSION.Vanessa was in the sitting room scrolling through her phone; she seemed deeply engrossed in what she was doing. "Boss, I am still baffled by your actions since this girl gave that distress call," Santiago said to Torillio. "What is it? Do you have a problem with it?" he asked slowly. He took out a cigar from the pack and gave it to Santiago to light for him. "The gold mine, you just gave it to her; I am sure you heard what happened after?""What happened? I was there at the meeting," Torillio responded drowsily. "You’re drunk, boss; you need to rest." Santiago offered to help him. "No, I am not; I am fine; I know Vanessa might not be sincere; I want to give her a chance; she’s brave, brave enough to come in here; I like her," Torilliio responded, puffing out smoke."She gave the gold mine to the Ramirez family boss; it could have been ours," Santaigo arced. "No, she gave it to Esmeralda, and Esmeralda gave it to them; you see, she’s loyal." Torillio l
AT TORILLIO’S MANSION. Torillio was taken back to the mansion when the coast was clear. Estrellia and Randall had disappeared. They tracked down the sniper. He didn’t hide his location; it seemed like he wanted them to know. Torillio woke up when the sun had set. "Vanessa," he called out, thinking she was still in the room with him. He touched the other side of the bed. "Where is she?" he finally opened his eyes. "Arrrh, my head hurts," Torillio groaned. He found his way to the bathroom and washed.He noticed the rooms were empty, and he was the only one there. He went down hurriedly to meet Santiago and his remaining men. "What happened? Where is Vanessa?" Torillio asked freakingly.He ransacked the whole mansion. Vanessa was nowhere in view. "Speak up! Where is Santiago? Did she run away?" Torillio asked angrily. None of them answered; they only watched as he wasted his time. "Good morning, boss," Santiago voiced as he stepped in. "What happened, I have a hangover a
AT THE HIDEOUT.Stephanie was fast asleep when RAD’s men returned. She was fast asleep while still cuffed to the floor. "Pour the water on her!" RAD commanded. They lashed out a bucket filled with chilled water. Stephanie let out an excruciating cry as she writhed and shrieked from the effects of the cold water. "I have done nothing to deserve this from you all." She cried, getting up from the floor. "You asked to see me, I can’t talk to you in that state; I had to wake you up," RAD uttered coldly. Stephanie mussed as she shivered. "Sit her up," They unlocked the cuffs on her legs and sat her up on the chair. "You’ve spent just a few hours here and you look so miserable; more reason why you should tell me what I want and go your way," "I don’t know what you’re talking about; who sent you?" Stephanie asked. "My client's secret is to be protected; where is the seal? Where is her will? What’s the password?" RAD arced. "Funny of you all to think Grandma Pillar told me all t
AT BRANDON’S MANSION"Yes! I am not over her, so deal with it!""You’re really admitting that to my face?" Vanessa asked ragingly. "Even after all she did to you?" Vanessa added."Is it that hard to love me? and Esmeralda, what’s with her?""Nothing; just cooperate with me," Brandon replied. "I hate you!" Vanessa yelled. "Don’t touch me," she shouted at Brandon’s men. They walked Vanessa in. "Boss, I have bad news.""What is it?" "Randall, he’s dead; we were ambushed, and it got too late to save him.""Just shut up and get out! A simple mistake from you all, how on earth will you underestimate and trust someone? Go Now! Find Torillio! No, I’ll call him; I am not scared of him." "Enough of these people testing me and my patience!" Brandon yelled.Brandon put a call through to Torillio. He warned him and threatened to take down his men in exchange for just one that he took. "Sir Brandon, I think we should look into this; it might be a setup," Estrellia urged. "Yeah, a set-u
AT Jordan Vera Dona’s house.Kimberly was unrestful, raveling to and fro as she pondered the response she would get. Working on not losing her guard and keeping it uptight, she sent some spies to check out her uncle; he received a highly profiled tip that was investigated. The maid returned. "Ma'am, I almost got caught, but I escaped," she uttered terrifically as she walked in."You’re here; what did you get? I'll pay you handsomely.""He received a call, and he’s up to arrest someone; I couldn’t find out who it was; it was a message on his phone; he also instructed his men to set the car, they will leave soon.""Is he carrying out the operation alongside the government orders or on his own?" Kimberly asked. "On his own, ma’am, he’s going with just his trusted man; the person he is going to arrest must be high profile," the maid responded lightly. "That’s better. I can easily tell my men to track them down no matter where they go," "Ahhh, i have someone in mind,"Kimberly calle
