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
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
