The Heir of the Family 015 - Call Your Husband
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
The Heir of the Family 016 - Not My Wife
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
The Heir of the Family 017 - That Damn Stupid Wig Lawyer
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
The Heir of the Family 018 - Unready To Be Rich Again
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
The Heir of the Family 019 - A Long Night
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
The Heir of the Family 020 - You Should Stay Asleep
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
The Heir of the Family 021 - A Turn Of Event
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
The Heir of the Family 022 - The Bullies
She just stands there, across the pharmacy shop where she should be working. She feels somewhat reluctant to get back working there, since the shop is still owned by Lucas’s family. “Emma?!” one of her coworkers greets her from behind. “Oh? Hi, Stephanie!” Emma replies. “They said you are no longer working with us. Did you get another job somewhere else?” “Ah, yeah!” Emma replies curtly with an unsure feeling. And then, her former coworker leaves her, telling that she doesn’t want to be late for work. Meanwhile, Emma is affirming herself to decline her intention to get back to work at the place. She looks at the keys she is holding for a moment. And then, she calls for the taxi, intending to get back to Victor’s house. Despite the fact they are no longer a married couple anymore, she still believes she has the right to live at that house. When she gets to that house, it turns out Mrs. Greta is still there taking care of her little garden. And so, that old lady next door greets

Returning the Favor (Extra)
“So, we are going to live here now?” asks Judy, just as she gets out of the car right in front of a humble two-story house. “All of us? Together?” Victor averts his attention to Judy, and immediately, Judy changes her facial expression to her childish one. “Ah, never mind! Come Emma, we need to secure the best room for us.” Emma is still looking so unsure whether to stay living together with them. But Judy insists on taking her. Victor just lets Chappy take all his stuff inside. He just leaves, heading to one shop right next to his new house. There are several people doing some renovation for that shop. And the first thing that catches his interest is the two guys who are now installing a banner with colorful lamps, mentioning La Marca. “So you're really going to revive La Marca, huh?” Victor turns behind, and sees Jimmy coming to him. Yes, this one shop is exactly the same spot where La Marca started, and it is right across the street, in front of Jimmy’s office. “Are you inte

360 - The Good and the Bad (The End)
So, Victor stays there for a while, waiting for Lucas to come. Meanwhile, Fazio and Gambino are looking confused by him. “So, you have footage of all his vaccine projects all this time, yet you let him scheme all these bad things on you?” asks Fazio. Victor turns his face to Vincenzo with a stupid look for a moment before giving a reply. “Um, I don’t clearly remember about this footage before. After listening to that old man’s story, only then did I think about it.” “Well, he was just a naive kid that time. He didn’t have the heart to do bad things on others,” says Vincenzo. “Heey!” Victor voices his objection. “No, it’s not about naivety,” Chappy interferes. “I know my bro is a good man. You see, I once tried to rob him, yet he treated me like a brother now.” Gambino just shakes his head with a silly face. “It’s good you want to do something good for others. But you need to understand, you can’t be too good to anyone. Especially in this kind of thing.” “I know!” replies Victor

359 - The Price Of A Trust
On the other hand, the one who hired Lt. Schneider to kill Victor as a fugitive is now having a restless night. Not because he is worried, but simply because he is confused, who killed that fat cop.He is none other than Elijah Miller, the lawyer that Lucas hires, who also has a grudge on Victor.“Could it be that man? No way!”He thinks this might be Lucas’ doing. But he never told Lucas who the police he hired for that scheme. Can’t get enough of his thoughts, he just leaves his house and visits Lucas in the middle of the night.And to add more salt to his bitterness, he finds Lucas seeming to have a peaceful night. That man opens the door for him with sleepy eyes.“What? Can’t you just come later in the morning?”“Damn! Was it really you?” asks Elijah.“What is this?” asks Lucas with a confused face.Elijah pushes the door, and then checks on the situation inside just to make sure there’s no one else beside them. He then asks Lucas to follow him to his car.“Haven't you heard the n

358 - Zip His Mouth
Jimmy immediately whispers to Victor that they don’t need to do anything to defend Emma’s testimonies. Because Emma already finishes her role in clarifying about his memory loss. “Don’t mind them. They are just trying to create a ruckus. It’s clear they have nothing to use against us.” Meanwhile, the judge also tells Elijah to stop bringing that issue, because he sees almost no correlation between that matter with the current case. “Maybe she does this to redeem her past mistake, or maybe not,” says the judge. “Whatever her intention is, all you need to do is to focus on the evidence she brings, and the credibility in her story. Is there anything else you want to ask the witness?” “No, Your Honor!” replies Elijah. Soon after this, the judge adjourned the trial for a while. He asks both Jimmy and Elijah to come to his office. The judge delivers his sermons, advising Jimmy and Elijah not to send the trial into obscurity in order to avoid unnecessary public attention. But sadly, th

357 - Questioning Her Intention
After all, he has made an agreement with Frank for this one, and he doesn’t want to screw Frank’s scenario in attacking Adam. Besides that, Jimmy himself already prepared his own arguments to protect Victor from all the accusations.When it is time for him to bring his witness, he asks Vincenzo first, as someone who was hired as Victor’s bodyguard and accompanied Victor to Canada.“I believe it was the same day they found Atkinson’s body. My boss was invited to attend the funeral of his ex-wife. It was shocking news for him. So, without thinking much about that message, we headed to Canada the same day.”“And there was this cab driver, welcoming us by telling us he was sent by the Mayor of the Town of the Blue Mountains, the father of my boss’ ex-wife.”He tells everything about how this mischievous cab driver left them in the nowhere, and how some people came to kill Victor. But of course, Vincenzo didn’t tell the part when he killed them all by himself.“We got separated, so I told

356 - Weak Testimonies
The next two days, Emma receives a package from her sister in Canada. It’s the document about Victor’s medical condition including the CT scan report of his head. At the same time, Mandy also receives a package from Eusebio, containing Victor’s phone that is already busted after he fell to the river. But of course, Jimmy is confident he can still fix the phone, and secures the odd message that Victor received from Emma’s phone number. “How did you get this?” asks Jimmy. “Someone sent it to me from Canada,” replies Mandy. “Who? He must know that I might need this to defend Victor’s case. Who sent it to you?” Before this, Jimmy already learned about some people talking about Eusebio coming back to Indiana. In the end, he only learned that the one being talked about was actually Victor. “Mandy! Are you hiding something from me? Did Eusebio meet with Victor in Canada?” Mandy nods twice with an uninterested face. “He was the one who helped him. He already called me right when he foun

355 - I'm Out
Even Frank isn’t getting a peaceful night either. There are so many things that don't click with his beautiful mind. He has learned quite far about the background behind that serial murder case. He knows that Victor has something to do with this, and has already had a theory that this led to the death of Atkinson. “So, Adam got Victor and this Johann guy at the same time. Does that mean all your theories are true?” asks Morgan. Frank doesn’t answer him. He just sits there with a flat face, while busy rubbing his ring finger which no longer has any ring on it. His mind keeps working on the narration to conclude all the theory and deduction that he has made so far. “But this man, Cooper! He said he came to Lucas to warn him about this serial killer,” he says. “But Lucas said that it was Cooper who tried to kill him in the toilet,” argues David. “That’s the problem,” Frank refutes. “We have an eyewitness that this man, Cooper, had a fight with someone wearing Arabian outfits in the

354 - When Being Innocent Is Not Enough
He hits Victor again, while he is still pinned down on the ground. That hit only looks like a joking tap, as if he is agitating Victor to release his rage. And indeed, it’s effective to make Victor even more infuriated and mad. But then, just as Victor raises his left hand intending to continue his assault, someone just shoots him with a gun. Fortunately, it only hit his left shoulder from behind. But because of this shot, he is no longer in a mount position pinning Johann down. Weirdly, that shot only makes Johann infuriated. He gets up, and shows how annoyed he is with the one man who just shot Victor. “Yoou!!!” He grumbles with a low voice, before shouting out his anger. “You’ve screwed everything! That’s his moment, how dare you screw it!!!” Still within his madness, Johann recklessly rushes toward that man who is still holding his gun. And then… “Bang! Bang!!” Two shots in the chest put Johann down. That man approaches Victor who is now trying to get back up by holding his

353 - Release That Beast!
Weirdly, for whatever reason, Johann didn’t kill Lucas. Cooper finds Lucas still breathing albeit no longer conscious. He immediately takes out a phone, and informs Victor and Vincenzo about that situation. However, as he just intends to leave that restroom, one security guard and two cops appear. Yes, there are already several cops around this building, because Lucas had shared to the police about the possibility of Victor would attack him. There are also Officer Frank and a few of his team among them in the outside. As those two cops notice Lucas’s condition in the restroom, they immediately put Cooper down on the floor. They then cuff Cooper’s hand behind his back. Of course, Cooper tries to break free, looking so impatient to not let his target away. “You stupid! You got the wrong person. He is out there, a man with an Arabian outfit!” “Silence! Whatever you want to say, you can explain it later in the office. You have the right to call an attorney. If you are unable to do so,
