She indeed expected that a jewel from Johnson’s Pleasantry would be expensive. But she never expected it to be that expensive. “A Million?” she mumbles by holding her head with one hand, while the other hand is trying to keep her balance by finding something to hold. “So? Did it enough to surprise you, Mam? I’m also happy for you to have such a good husband like him,” says the owner. “No! This is too much. I expected it would be expensive. But 1 Million dollars is too much.” It attracts the attention of the few customers who happen to be there. But Emma doesn’t pay that much attention. She still can’t imagine how Victor managed to collect that much money to buy that ring. That’s when she remembers about Victor having two bank accounts. All this time, Victor only used one of his bank accounts. But Emma never paid much attention about the other one, since she believed it wouldn’t be much different. After all, what would she expect from a husband who had only been a pizza delivery m
It’s not that she can’t sell the ring at all. It’s just that the shop owner is just reluctant to rebuy the item back, since he is a bit dubious with Emma. He is afraid of the risk of buying a stolen jewel.“I’m truly sorry, Mam. I’m afraid you still need to discuss this thing with your husband again. He is the only one who can sell this item to us. At the end of the day, I believe your husband will insist for you to accept the gift,” says the shop owner.Emma is getting impatient, and carelessly forces herself to get the shop owner to buy the item again.“Can't you just recreate that appraisal document? I'm willing to drop the price even more to compensate whatever process you were telling me just now,” she insists.The shop owner squints his eyes with a suspicious gaze. Now he is really starting to doubt Emma's testimonials for being Victor's wife.“Mam, I'm afraid that I have to call for the police now,” he says.Emma is petrified to hear him mentioning the police. But she still insi
Emma pushes the button to answer the call and takes the phone to her ear. But the shop owner immediately snatches the phone. [Emma! Did you enter my house recently?] The shop owner becomes curious with that kind of question. He holds the phone with his palm, and takes it away from his face. “Is this really your husband?” the shop owner asks Emma. “He is my husband!” Emma answers so slowly, not wanting her words to be heard by Victor through the phone. The shop owner squints his eyes with an even more suspicious gaze. He puts back the phone to his ear and starts talking to Victor directly. “Is this really Mr. Victor William?” he asks. [Yes, I’m Victor William. Who is this? Where’s Emma?] “Mr. William. This is Johnson Bermer, the owner of Johnson’s Pleasantry. I’m the one who served you here yesterday.” The shop owner finds that Victor is silent for a while. Of course, he is a bit curious what Emma’s doing at Johnson’s Pleasantry. That’s when he remembers about the ring that he
Emma is now starting to worry where to go. It is no longer possible for her to show her face to return to Victor’s house. The only thing she could think of is Lucas. But it is clear that Lucas has been starting to ignore her before. She realizes that Lucas is more greedy than she is. Until then, she remembers something. It's about Victor's bank account which she has been neglecting. She thinks, if Victor could buy such expensive jewelry just as a gift, it's likely that Victor has much more money stored in that bank account. “That jerk! How did he get that much money? How dare he keep it a secret from me this whole time. There’s no way I’m going to just let it slide.” In the end, she calls Lucas. She really has no other choice but to compromise with him. She is not going to lose if Lucas asks for a share, as long as she can get something from Victor. [What is it, Honey? How does it feel to be there with that loser again?] “Enough with this. Just pick me up near Johnson’s Pleasantr
During the night, Victor is finding it hard to sleep. This is the first night he has to spend by being alone in the house since he had lived with Emma. The house is so calm and quiet, but not his heart. He is still feeling sad for losing the woman he once loved. Of course, not the ex-wife as what he just knows about recently. But the one who had accompanied him for five years. But somehow, he feels satisfied with what had happened at Johnson’s Pleasantry before. He never planned it to avenge her that way. He didn’t even think about revenge at all. However… “Serve her right! How could she be so blind not realizing the ring I gave her is genuine.” Now he is laying down there, on the bed, looking at that sparkling golden ring studded with diamonds. Even though he isn’t the type of guy who is obsessed with jewelry, the ring still looks so appealing to him. It is as if every tiny space he sees on those tiny diamonds have begun to trap him inside. That’s when he starts feeling empty i
He rushes to the window and examines the outside for more. His car is still there, and everything looks so normal outside. “Could it be that the two robbers changed their minds and left everything here? There’s no way!” He really can’t grasp what is happening and how the money and the ring are left there in the front of the door. He checks everything around the house, making sure there is no place for thieves to enter. He also checks every corner in the house, to make sure no one is hiding inside. Only after that, he goes back to his room, locks himself inside, and then sits behind the door with a frightened look on his face. In the end, he finds it hard to get to sleep again. And currently, the condition with Emma is hardly different. She still has nowhere to go, and Lucas hasn’t offered anything to her. Instead, Lucas’s attention is on the TV at one corner of the bar, watching an interview of some new Hollywood star. His interest is not as vague as a man finding a beautiful gir
He throws her to the bed, and immediately takes off his clothes. However, just as he gets naked, his phone rings. He picks the phone with an annoying face. But he can’t deny the call since it is his father's call. [Where are you?] “I have some business with a friend. I won’t be home tonight.” [No! Get home now. Your mom can’t sleep unless you get home!] “Come on, Dad! I’m not a kid anymore.” [Hey, Lucas! You are still living with us now. Tell that to me later after you get married, or at least, after you can raise money by yourself] “Cih!” There’s no way he introduces Emma to his father when she is looking like this. And there’s no way for him to restrain what he was just going to release just now either. He has been all naked, and that little brother of his is asking to be put into that warm cave. “Can't I wrap the thing I just started here?!” he asks. [Just get here in 30 minutes] As the call ends, he slams the phone into the bed, looking so annoyed and infuriated. He will
He leaves their phones there. The same with the gun which belonged to one of them. He throws away all the bullets inside, and drops the gun on that man’s chest. And then he heads back to his car. Only after he gets into his car, he take off his mask. “Shit, I should have let him use me as his personal driver,” he whines. After chilling there for some time with one cigarette, he starts the car and drives back to the town. Meanwhile, Victors is still looking so alert in his house. He gets out of his room sometimes, to make sure everything is fine. And gets back to his room again and locks himself inside. He has done it a few times, despite the fact he is feeling so tired and sleepy. He forces himself to stay awake no matter how bad he needs to sleep. And then... “Drrrtt! Drrrtt!!” His phone is vibrating in silent mode. The room is already illuminated by the light from outside, while Victor is sleeping right behind the door. He tries to reach for his phone in half awake. ♫♫ Tuut
