The sound of knocking on the door continues disrupting their quarrels. Emma ignores her father, and chooses to open the door herself to get rid of the police.However, as soon as she opens the door, it turns out that it is only Vincenzo who comes back to see Victor.“You?”“Where is he?” asks Vincenzo. He then averts his attention to the others who are all looking at him with curiosity, and then finds Victor there still with his confused face. “Victor! Our situation is quite complicated. You can't stay here. We have to get you back to San Francisco.”“San Francisco?” Victor mumbles, starting to feel convinced that Vincenzo must really be someone hired by his dad.Victor leaves the dining table with an unsure feeling. But Henry immediately rushes to pick an antique two barrels break-action shotgun which is hanging on the wall, and immediately points it at Victor right before Victor reaches the door.“Stay there! Now it’s clear that you are really the man named Victor William.”Vincenzo
That girl named Leona approaches them. Her facial expression looks a bit cringed to find that silly quarrels between them.“Vincenzo! What’s wrong?” she asks.Vincenzo just sighs and turns his attention back to Victor. And Victor is still looking so objected to his suggestion to take Emma with them to San Francisco.“I don’t even know you? Why would I trust you?” He then averts his attention to Emma with an impatient expression writing on his face. “And I don’t even know for sure if we were really married before!”“No, you did marry her,” says Vincenzo.“Yeah, and she said she also cheated on me,” argues Victor.Vincenzo just raises one of his shoulders, tilting his head a bit with an uninterested face, as a gesture that he affirmed for the fact that they did divorce six months ago.“Yeah, that's the reason you both divorced and had a dispute about marrtal settlement,” Vincenzo affirms. Victor turns his face to Emma without hiding his disappointment, to learn that she even refuted wi
They plan to reach San Francisco by avoiding Indiana and the nearby states around it. Because these areas are all in a strict lock-down, at least until the next few weeks.“It will be a long journey,” says Leona, trying to open the talk to break the gloomy atmosphere in the car. “It could be 3 days, or maybe four days with some rest. But rest assured, I’ve called some friends to make sure we get across the border without any problem.”Victor, who is now sitting on the back seat, doesn’t give any response to her. His mind is still so empty as he observes the view through the window to the left side. The same with Emma who keeps averting her face to the other side.Somehow, Victor remembers Vincenzo told him about their situation which is currently so complicated at the moment, which forces them to head to San Francisco.“If you are really hired by my dad to watch over me, you should know that I shouldn’t meet him unless the situation is really urgent,” says Victor.“Of course,” replies
Catarina drops from the chair. She hasn't died yet, still trying her best to close the fatal wound under her mouth. Both her hands, neck and her chest are all soaked with blood. She isn't able to make a voice, let alone a scream. She looks so in pain and in agony, crawling on the floor leaving the kitchen. Meanwhile, that man just ignores her in a dire state. He doesn’t care if Catarina will be able to survive after that or not. It’s as if he knows there’s nothing Catarina can do in that situation, and let her suffer for longer. He goes to the basement, and then opens a hidden door in one corner of that room. There’s a hidden passage leading to a small building for the electrical power maintenance room of Charles' mansion, about 20 meters away from this house. He knows so well about this passage, because he used to live here in the past. However, he doesn’t intend to go to this small building. He opens another hidden door, with a tunnel leading to the basement of Charles’ mansion.
Johann looks down at Charles flatly. But then, he grins so mad like a madman, to be able to see Charles in his desperation.“That’s it. You need to realize, this is all because of that naivety of yours. You have to cast it out. You have to kill your conscience, like when you kill my family. You did great that time, acting like a hero erasing the devils from this world. But then you turned so soft, and let me live.”Charles’ face looks so pale, crying so low with a hoarse voice. He keeps mumbling with an unclear voice, which attracts Johann’s curiosity.That man approaches him, and draws his face closer to Charles, seeming to listen to what Charles’ saying right now.“Hm? Can’t you say it clearer?”“Thanks for coming closer to me,” Charles whispers with a face which has turned so mad.He suddenly bites Johann’s left ear. It shocks Johann and makes him groan so loud because of the pain.That’s only when that commotion attracts the attention of the two nurses downstairs. Cooper William,
What happened to Charles has caught the attention of several gangsters around California. They have been so quiet in the last ten years because of Charles's influence, and have been patient to wait for that old man to die.In fact, they already see him as a fossil even before this incident, with the thought he is a solitude person without any family and son. Soon after this incident, they start making their move.Charles himself doesn’t have any interest in this affair anymore. The only thing in his mind is all about Johann. It’s a good thing that Viona is still alive. But he can’t ignore what happened to Catarina.“Is there the need to go this far?” asks Charles, sitting on a wheelchair while observing his surroundings. He finds so many of his henchmen around that cemetery. There are too many of them, as if the one being buried is the most important woman in America.“I only left for two weeks, and look what happened to you,” replies Denzel.“Like I said. He won’t kill me,” says Char
Victor lifts his face to show his discontent with what Viona said to him. But Emma immediately exclaims him to lower his gaze. And Victor has no choices but to keep his act together.“Damn! You are playing dirty,” he whines.“I don’t need to play dirty to beat a kid like you.” Viona turns around, and escorts him to meet his dad. “Come!”Victor follows her. But Vincenzo immediately pulls his back to avoid him to look too stand out by himself.“Stick together!”He tells the others to also go with Victor, to make sure that the four of them are in one group. Viona glances behind, looking so annoyed that Emma also joins them. But she keeps quiet about it and keeps walking.The thing is, Johann is indeed observing the situation of that cemetery area. Part of his head is covered by bandages to cover the wound on his ear. He is quite far, hiding in the woods about 1 mile to the east of that cemetery area, observing the procession of Catarina funeral through binoculars.It’s not clear if he co
Emma rushes to her. But Viona just turns her attention away by keeping her composed look.“Lower your gaze, peasant!” she commands coldly. “Need me to remind Victor of all the things that you’ve done to him?”“I’ve told him everything,” says Emma. “Don’t think I’m here looking for his money. I don’t give a damn about his status as the son of a wealthy businessman. I never asked him for us to be together again. I didn’t even ask him for any forgiveness.”“Yes, that’s right! You don’t deserve any forgiveness,” Viona interrupts.Victor rushes to Viona, but she immediately halts him, reminding him to keep his act together as a lackey. So, Victor just keeps silent by holding his tired face.Viona walks away, heading back to Cooper and the others who have been waiting for her. Victor glances a bit at Emma. But then he just ignores her, and rushes toward Viona.He ignores the acting as a lackey, and talks to her casually. “So, who is the guy that you see as much better than me?”“It’s none o
