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
AT BRANDON’S MANSION. “You’re a genius, Esmeralda, and guess who our first target would be?”“Your family, isn’t that where we think the real RAD is hiding?” Esmeralda replied. She took out her phone, took pictures of fake RAD.“What for?” Brandon asked. “To hold him down, don’t worry, he’s safe,” she replied sleekily. “Where is Madrigal?” he asked out of the blue. “He told you he had something important to do, isn’t that your phone ringing?” Esmeralda asked pointing to his pockets.“I’ll ignore, I don’t think I can see Marcellus today, I need to act faster than Torillio,” Brandon replied aptly. “We can use RAD, no one knows Torillio better than I do, and we already have someone we can use,” she smiled vilely. “But how will he agree to it and not run away or bail out on us?” Brandon asked, confusedly.“Easy, that’s why I have his face, we don’t need him to go out there, we need him in here,” “That’s confusing,” Esmeralda called on Esrellia to get some men for her. She
AT TORILLIO’S JEWELRY STORE.After the planted picture and threat found inside Aliaana’s car. Torillio’s aide suggested that they leave the wake and head home. Torillio had other plans and wanted to finalize his deal with Arturo and convince Madrigal. He sent him men to race after Madrigal faster and asked him to return with them. He invited both of them to join him at the jewelry store. Madrigal was reluctant to join them. He was scared because he thought Torillio must have wanted to kill at the same place Santiago was murdered, which was in the store. Madrigal refused to join them. "You can tell your boss to call me, or we’ll meet at a separate place, but I already gave my answers, and it’s a NO," Madrigal responded.On receiving the feedback, Torillio and his men left for the store. "Boss, I think we’re being followed," his men alerted him. "No big deal, ignore," he responded.They pulled over at the store and entered. "My love would rest in my office, or do you want to
AT THE SILVERRIO’S“Are you really asking who are they? You’re one of them Brandon, I bet you don’t know how powerful you are, and that means your power is useless,” “The only reason you’re not being attacked right now is because the people think you know your worth, when they realize you don’t then you’ll be nothing but a powerless lion,” “A dog that’s alive is better than a dead lion, Brandon,” Don Silverrio said humourouslyDon Silverrio uttered. He poured coffee for Brandon and Esmeralda. “What do you mind?” he asked. “Did ‘they’ murder my mother?” Brandon asked. He pushed back the coffee to Don Silverrio. “Why ask when you know the answer, I gave you that necklace because I thought your father was dead and it’s only good you know the truth about your mother,” he replied. “So it wasn’t Grandma Pillar?” “Any other deaths could have been her but your mother’s, no your father caused her death,” Don Silverrio hammered. “Why should I believe what you said?”“Your fa
AT THE GLASS HOUSE. Don Soriano was soaked in his world of silence, pain, and regret. He has gone through all the CCTV’s that wasn’t destroyed, and none of it was helpful. "I think now that she’s dead, I can call the police, right?" He asked the guard who had watched him all night. The sun was just rising, and the atmosphere was cool. Don Soriano ordered that the gates be opened and everything return to normal. "But, what if?" "What if what? She’s gone; I don’t think RAD has anything to do with me, especially when RAD is my own brother; I just need to know which one," he replied vilely.He called for a meeting between his brothers and his sons, but he was told that Brandon turned down the invitation while Olvido and Herveaux didn’t sleep in the glass house last night."Okay, Call Stephanie; she’s also a part of our family. I bet Grandma Pillar saw this coming and made her one of us," Don Soriano responded. Stephanie was summoned, and she joined him. "I had to call you up
AT THE COMPANY. Brandon was seated in his office with Estrellia as he went through some files on the report of everything that had been going on in the company. "When a man falls, they get to him through the things he does, I mean, where he sources his money," Brandon uttered sternly. He ordered Estrellia to find capable and well-lanced men to go through it all and alert him if they found any loopholes."I will get to work, sir; you need me around; Torillio and maybe Fredrick or any other dangerous person might show up at the meeting today, you have to be protected, sir," Estrellia suggested. "Nathalie still isn’t back; Marcellus illness must be serious; I will go check on them in the evening; add it to my schedule; I have been too worked up these days," Brandon responded. "Okay boss, are you ready? I’ll walk you there," Estrellia asked. "No, I want everyone to arrive; I will be the last to show up no matter how late they turn-up," Brandon replied. He went back to his s
AT THE COMPANY. "Answer that yourself; do you care?" Vanessa snapped. She slipped and lost her balance. Brandon ran hurriedly to stop her from falling. He held her up by the waist, eyes locked on each other, and he kissed her out of the blue. The moment ended, and Vanessa pushed him away from her. "What did you do that for?" she questioned him angrily. "Nothing, Stay away from Torillio; he is a dangerous man. He’s been threatening to kill my son. He found him. What do you think he’ll do to you when he finds out you’re not really into him?" Brandon asked fussily."I am an adult; I can handle whatever situation I am in. About your son, I will find out what I can get. I meant everything he knows about your son’s location," Vanessa assured. She adjusted her clothes and walked to the door. Brandon double-crossed her. stopping her from leaving."I don’t want you to get involved; it’s dangerous, and I don’t want to lose you," Brandon voiced ardently."Me too; now get out of my way
AT THE MEETING. Don Soriano was summoned by the five to face the penalties for announcing Grandma Pillar’s death publicly without first informing them. He was invited to the dusk to defend himself. "I have no regrets, I should have acted better, please punish me according to our rules," he uttered boldly. The five whispered lowly to each other. "You, he’s a part of your family, should we be lenient?" They asked Brandon. "Family doesn’t mix with the law, punish him!" Brandon coerced. "Do you by any means know the punishment for belittling the family?" They asked him synchronously. Brandon wasn’t aware, he smirked pretending to know. "Death," "What?" Brandon yelled."I get why Herveaux was so scared and angry," he muttered to himself. "Yes Death but we have the power to lesson the sentence," The echoed. "do we five all agree for the second time to make his face the law?" The four of them echoed. "Yes," the roared alongside Brandon. "For the last time FIVE, we
