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
The Heir of the Family 023 - See You Later
As they force getting in and standing behind Victor, the elevator gives an overload alarm. Now they start looking at each other, waiting for someone to get out of the elevator. But those two female employees, Abigail and Sarah, act so ignorant with what’s going on. “Hey, we are not going anywhere if there’s no one to leave the elevator,” says someone from the back. “Oh, nice! You have a better brain than the others. Why are you still here then?” replies Abigail. That guy doesn’t have the courage to answer, since his position in the company is lower than her. So are everyone else inside that elevator. None of them dare to reply to her word. However, none of them intends to leave the elevator either. Suddenly, Sarah secretly knocks Nancy’s elbow from behind, aiming to hit her ulnar nerve. “Aww!” Nancy has no choice but to let go of the document. She is shocked, feeling a kind of short circuit electric current on her elbow. Those documents scatter on the floor, right at the elevato
The Heir of the Family 024 - Nancy And Her Inferiority Complex
But Nancy is still looking so reluctant. After all, she has something she needs to do with the documents she is currently holding. “I’d like to help you to get there. But I have to deliver this document to my supervisor. He needs these documents since he is going to attend the meeting too,” she declines politely. “So, why don’t you just take them to the meeting room and meet with him there?” “No, I’m afraid he is going to yell at me there.” “It’s okay, I’ll try to explain your situation to your supervisor later,” Victor holds her hand and takes her with him to the elevator. Now Nancy is getting even more timid. She is so sure that Victor is having a higher position than her supervisor, considering how confident he is in promising that he can explain everything to her supervisor. “Um, why don’t you just follow me to take this document first to my supervisor, and then you can go with him later to the meeting,” she suggests. “Oh, okay then!” He then follows Nancy to deliver the do
The Heir of the Family 025 - The Coming Of Robotic Hoover Girl
Meanwhile, the meeting room is a bit frenzied, since they’ve been waiting quite long enough. Especially Oliver, who becomes impatient because Nancy hasn’t delivered the documents he asked. He already knows that his new boss is his former colleague in college. But he has left a bad impression since his first meeting with Victor at the restroom yesterday. He couldn't afford any risk to leave another bad impression in front of his new boss two days in a row. He starts to be so awry, that even one wrong move would end up in his resignation. After all, he has heard about the resignation of some executives right after Victor’s appointment as the new President. “That damn useless timid girl. What takes her so long?” he grumbles. His awry face catches Abigail’s attention, his superior who happens to be sitting beside him. Of course, she knows what’s in Oliver’s mind, because she is the one who held Nancy down before at the elevator. But somehow, she just plays ignorant on Oliver. “Are yo
The Heir of the Family 026 - The Butterfly That Can't Fly
Due to the resignation of the general manager for the Marketing Department yesterday, Mrs. Emilia has to take care of this department since she is The Vice President for Marketing. At least, until Viona finds the next general manager to fill that position. Despite the fact Mrs. Emilia has the same level with Viona as The Vice President, she knows that Viona has stronger influence in the company. Not to mention that Viona is the one that Charles William trusts the most. And so, Mrs. Emilia starts the introduction of the new President of Counterbrand. She deliberately makes it short, since she doesn’t like to repeat what Viona had delivered before in introducing Victor to the other executives yesterday. In the end, she only tells everyone about the name, and about Victor’s vision for Counterbrand in general. But then, Victor halts her by offering a seat and whispers to her. “Can I have the chance for a moment to say something before we start the meeting?” “Oh? Sure! The meeting is a

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,
