Viona approaches them with rigid steps as she keeps looking at that burned down house.“Victor! What’s going on here? What happened?” she asks with an awry face.“Well, you can see it yourself,” replies Victor.“That’s not the kind of answer I’m expe… God-damn it! Can’t you take me seriously just for once?!”“Easy, Viona! It’s just an accident, and…”Mike tries to calm her down, but Viona immediately casts him away by pushing Mike’s chest with the tip of her middle finger.She then stands right in front of Victor, and brings her face closer expecting a comprehensive explanation.“Like he said. It was an accident,” says Victor.“Accident how? What about that ugly bWitch? I know you leave this house to her. The house is still one of Counterbrand’s properties. And take a look at what happened to the house next door. If they file a lawsuit…”“She is no longer here. She has left, going back to her home in Canada,” Mike informs.Viona averts her attention to Mike, and squints her eyes with
One of the people they suspect is of course La Marca, with the thought it might have something to do with Chappy. But they can't ignore other possibilities, just like the recent conflict between Victor and Saul De Stasio.Mike grabs Victor’s shoulder from behind as he takes his leave, intending to investigate that incident a bit more.“I’ll be out for a while. Vincenzo, come with me,” he issues.He gazes so coldly at Chappy who is still standing dumbfounded at the door. It sends a chill down to Chappy’s spine. He just moves away without Mike saying anything to him.Just as Mike and Vincenzo get out of that monitoring room, Douglas enters that apartment.“Oh, are you leaving?” asks Douglas as he cancels his intention to close the door.“Yeah! About the information you’ve collected before, we will discuss them later,” replies Mike as he approaches the exit door.“Well, should I continue following that guy now? If possible, I want to stay here and have some good sleep for once in a while
That morning, Mike and Vincenzo are still observing the situation around Victor’s house that has been burned. They are just betting on the chance that the perpetrators will come back only to see what they have done.It’s some kind of trend among the arsonists, that they tend to get back to the scene for whatever kind of reason. But somehow, they don’t get anything even after more than three hours to be there.“Well, I think it’s such a naive thing to say that they are going to go back here. They are not simply arsonists. Like I said before, it was a message left by gangsters. They never come back just to check whether the message has been delivered or not,” says Vincenzo.Mike takes a deep breath with a tired face. He doesn’t refute, because he actually has the same opinion.He came to that place only because he didn’t have much choice. Because there is really not that much lead to follow.Mike starts the car intending to leave. But then, he runs into a familiar car from the other dir
But then, Victor averts his attention to Judeo, who is now still enjoying his best time in an alternate world inside his dream. It makes Victor a bit disappointed at him, because it should be Judeo who gives such information, not an ex-junkie like Chappy.“Hey, wake up!” says Victor by patting Judeo’s cheek.But Junior wakes up first instead of Judeo. He is shocked a bit, because he never intended to have a sleep in the first place.“Oh, what time is it now?” he asks as he stretches his arms.Despite only getting 3 hours of sleep, his face seems fresher than Judeo who actually looks so tired with eyes not fully open yet. Victor forces Judeo to stand on his feet and tells him to move to the bedroom.Unlike the previous days, Victor decides to not go to work that early in the morning. He is even doubtful with Mike to be able to go with him to the office, since Mike is still out there with Vincenzo.He looks at Douglas, thinking about asking him to replace Mike. But then, he sees Judeo h
But he can’t refute Mike’s argument. However, even without saying anything, his face is so clear in telling his objection. He seems so insistent on defending La Marca’s image.Until suddenly, Victor says something to him coldly. “Hey, who gave you permission to interrupt our meeting? You better get back to your post before I change my mind and kill you!”“Bro?!” mumbles Chappy with a disappointed face.But Victor keeps his cold gaze, forcing Chappy to retreat. In the end, Chappy takes his distance away from them and heads to his post near the kitchen.He sits there by hugging his knees, still looking so disappointed by the way Victor has responded to his objection.“It’s not like you to treat him that cold,” says Mike with a silly smile.“He just made my head dizzy. I know we need to keep our composure in investigating this matter. I don’t want to be influenced by his feelings and his melancholy side with his La Marca,” replies Victor as he rubs his forehead.Right now, he is worrying
But no, Victor doesn’t call her anymore. Her face turns so desperate, and it is only averted by a flat voice announcer from the airport, informing that it’s time for her to prepare for the flight. And so, she drags her suitcase, looking so ready to leave everything behind. But somehow, her attention is averted to news on the TV, the same news about the fire on Victor’s house last night. She is stunned with an awry face, to see that it’s not only her house that has been burned. “Oh, shit! Mrs. Greta?” she mumbles. She takes out her phone again to make a call to Mrs. Greta’s number. She turns back, intending to cancel her flight. But then, she suddenly hears Mrs. Greta's voice on the TV. She turns back to watch the news again and finds Mrs. Greta’s peaceful face. That old lady still looks as peaceful as usual, despite the terrible condition of the two houses behind her. Now Emma suspects that Victor might be trying to contact her only to hold her responsible for what happened to th
The Blue Mountains is such a blend of the beautiful nature and human civilization. The place itself hosts several recreational sites for the locals and tourists. There are so many outdoor recreational activities that can be done there for all seasons.But the most notable one is in the winter with its ski resort. There’s also a site called Blue Mountains Village, a beautiful site with so many boutiques, coffee shops and restaurants.It’s such a peaceful place to stay, and a beautiful site even for tourists to visit. But not for Emma. For some reason, she really hates this town.“It seems like you are a little lost. Are you sure you live here?” asks the taxi driver.“I’m not lost. I just want you to take me around for a while,” replies Emma.“Seriously? We've been traveling for almost three hours now. You need to be easy with an old man like me. I’m afraid you are just losing your way home,” says the taxi driver with a tired face.“I haven’t been home for more than 5 years. But the pla
Ironically, she used to believe that spending time with family is much more important than money. But now, she can’t judge that kind of father too badly. Not after she herself has destroyed her own marriage because of money. She takes a deep breath, trying to relieve herself from that burdening thoughts. She just doesn’t know what will she do later when her dad comes home. “Ah, what about Ellie? Where is she?” Emma asks about her younger sister. “She settles at Owen Sound now. It's quite close to the campus where she attends to. She will only back home on the weekend.” Emma can’t even hide her sympathy toward her mom to hear that answer, to know that her mother is all alone in that big house. “Is it okay for you to be at home only by yourself? What if something happens?” The mother smiles, and says, “there is a maid at our house now.” Emma squints her eyes with an unsatisfied expression, suspecting that it’s just her dad’s way to not make her mom to feel lonely.
