Chapter 112Nurse Lilli walked up to the doctor. Emilio was still in Vincenzo's hospital room.“Thank you for coming mio figlio. I really appreciate it.”“Of course I'd be here Father. You are not well. So it's important that I come check on you. There's really nothing to thank me for Father”, Emilio said, laughing a little at the end of his last statement.“Even if. Thank you. It means a lot. I wish I could have seen my sick father before he died but… I was too busy. I thought I was too busy. But you can never be too busy for the ones you love. If really love them, you'll make out time for them.”Emilio nodded. There was not one doubt about that. “Family is forever… whether you like them or not, whether they are always going to be here or not, they are always going to be family”Forever.Emilio sighed but not too heavily. “Yes Father. That's absolutely true”“It is. It really is”“What is it, Nurse Lilli? Why are you here and not at your duty post?”, The doctor asked softly, finall

Chapter 113“So… what was the minister doing here?”“The minister?”“Don't play games with me child. You know me too well. I should have had your head off by now”The doctor swallowed hard. Fear tickling his throat.“I don't know how he got to know but he came here specifically to see Mr. Vincenzo. He to was expecting the minister and they seemed to have some serious business to discuss. I didn't have any logical reason to object?“But I'd already given you an instruction Doctor. Was that not logical enough for reason?”Nio had no reply. There was nothing he could or would say that could save him.Maria gave a short pause before she spoke again.“Your skeletons still lay very fresh in your cupboard, Nio. You know that, right?”, She said, turning to face him even if he couldn't quite make out her facial expressions in the darkness of the car.“And the allowance I have for your foolishness is rather thin, don't you think?”, She asked, pausing momentarily before she continued.“But that

Chapter 114“Looks like the rumors are true after all”“Rumors?”“Yes sir. It's been on the internet for a while now- some people think Emilio's capable of killing his father.”“That's just jobless blogs for you Nathaniel. You shouldn't be a party to such, as an investigative officer. We work with reason and evidence. For all we know so far, he could have been framed”“Yes sir”, the young junior investigator said, in a rather less excited tone.The district head took the bag from him and handed it to the other policeman to seal it and add it to the rest of the evidence. “Something isn't right”The district head thought. He knew there would be a chance of Emilio getting framed but he didn't want to come to the conclusion that he had the wrong suspect in mind. Maria had too much on her plate for her to not be onto this one too. It made too much sense to say she was behind the attacks on Emilio and for poisoning Vincenzo. All he needed was more information and in this case- more eviden

Chapter 115For the next few days, Vincenzo spent his nights in his study. The adjoining room was a well furnished bedroom and thay was where he slept. Since Vincenzo had a rule that no one cleaned his study, Emilio had to oversee the cleaning of the bedroom. Emilio made sure he took his medications on time and that he didn't take any food liquid or solid without his knowing. The guys and he spent more time in the kitchen, overseeing Vincenzo's meals.“ I am going to kill Nio”Maria took out her phone and dialed his number.Doctor Nio picked up the buzzing phone on his desk. Comfort eluded him as soon as he saw who it was.Doctor finally picked up the call. “Buongiorno Signora”“What exactly is your problem Nio? Have you suddenly gone daft? I asked you to inform me when Vincenzo was strong enough to come home! I was supposed to pick him up! You were supposed to give him the drugs wrapped in diclogomate!”, Maria ranted on the phone in the bathroom.Nio's soft voice came from the other

Chapter 116The Rolls-Royce pulled up at the Oril Cartel, the majestic five floored casino- the largest in Vernice.Maria stepped out, shades on, her bodyguards escorting her.The glittering entrance of the casino, known to high rollers and A-list celebrities, was as bustling as ever. The doorman, an imposing bulk of muscle, nodded silently and gestured to his partner to let Maria in. Walking past the public gambling floors, roulette wheels spinning, dice tumbling and slots chiming, a feeling of deja vu overwhelmed her. Scantily clad women in sequined leotards, sky-high heels, and dramatic smokey eye makeup strut amongst the gambling tables. The pole dancers gyrated their toned bodies to pounding club music under the colorful strobe lights of the casino. Their real purpose was to entice high roller clientele to spend even more exorbitantly after hours for private personal entertainment. Maria remembered her past life - a life that now irritated her. They got to the elevator and the b

Chapter 117Maria's blood went cold on hearing that. For the first time she felt uncomfortable. How did he know he had a son? “I don't know what you are talking about, Wyatt”“Don't try to play smart with me Maria. You wanted us to get into business - this is business. I want my son”“You don't have a son, Wyatt”“Don't play with me, Maria. Don't you dare try to play with my head.”“What makes you think you have a son?”“I don't think so. I know I have a son. That was the one reason why you tried to kill me, Maria. Don't try to play dumb with me.”Maria was quiet. Wyatt was the wrong person to try to manipulate. “What do you want, Wyatt?”“I told you. I want my son”“He is not your son, Wyatt”“Don’t piss me off Maria…”“He is of Rodriguez blood, Wyatt. He is not your blood. He is not your son. He's nothing of you. He has a lineage and a promising inheritance ahead of him, Wyatt. Your son died a long time ago”“How dare you!”, Wyatt roared, banging the table before him. Maria squi

Chapter 118The district head was at the door of the house when Maria's Rolls-Royce eased into the compound.“What the hell is this idiot doing here again?”The driver got the door and Maria stepped out rather hastily. The door man came down to take her bag from her and walked up the stairs behind her. Opening the door, she met the district head standing in the visitor's lounge and Vincenzo in the adjoining living room.“She's here already”, Vincenzo said as she walked in.“Buonasera Mrs. Rodriguez (good evening). You are right on time.”“What's the problem exactly?”she asked, taking off her glasses.“I’m here to take you and Emilio in for questioning”“Questioning?!”, Vincenzo and Maria exclaimed simultaneously.Maria scoffed. “You must be joking, officer. This is completely ridiculous”“I mean no jokes, Signora”“What?”“But officer, I don't understand”, Vincenzo said, quite baffled.“Yes, Signore. Based on the evidence we got, we've come to conclusions that your wife and your son a

Chapter 119The detective paced in the dimly lit room, the faint thump sound of his steps interrupting the silence in the room. His suspect kept her head down, her fingers fidgeting. The detective stopped moving suddenly and his face came into the light that the dim lamp provided. “We found you in possession of this”, the detective said, holding up the pendant in the air. “Can you tell me how you got this?”“I…I …I was..gi…gi… given”“By who?”“My madam”“And why do you think Mrs. Rodriguez gave you something so valuable?”Maria hesitated. Her voice was shaky making her stammering even worse.“I…I…don't know”“You don't kn…kn..kn..know?”*Was it your birthday?”“No”, she said in a low tone. “So why? I mean, this is worth over hundreds of thousand of euros. Do you think your madam would just dash it out just like that?”“Sh…sh..sh..she..”“She what?”Madeline wimped, her body quivering with fear. She didn't want to go to jail but she wasn't dumb to not realize she'd been set up. Mad

Chapter 179:The Happy Ending
Chapter 179: The happy ending “What? “How dare you?!” Maria panicked at first when Asher said what he said, but she quickly covered it up. “ Vincenzo, did you just hear what he said?”“Gaius Come in” Asher said and Maria's knees suddenly went weak. She stumbled behind as she thought she was seeing a ghost. What was Gauis doing here? I thought he was dead.“Gaius here revealed everything to me after Maria and Andrea tried killing him off for finding out their secret ''. “Here sir,” Gauis said, handing a brown envelope to Vincenzo. “Father, in there is the DNA result of Andrea and Mr Wyatt Oril”“What? The late Mr Wyatt?” Vincenzo asked, scanning through the contents of the DNA results. “Yes, that Mr Wyatt, Maria and her son killed him off, as he was a threat to their plans of killing me. And since they couldn’t succeed, Maria here began the slow process of killing you off slowly by lacing your tea every day with a substance. That’s why you have been so weak lately. Here is the s

Chapter 178“Hey let go of me!”. Finn yelled loudly at the prison guards as he was dragged into the toture room. “Do you want to die? Do you know who you are laying your hands on? let me go. Let me the fuck go”Finn was dragged and strapped on the same metallic chair that was used to torture Asher. Mr Vincenzo gave those specific instructions.“Hey!Hey! Are you guys deaf?!Call my dad. You people are dead meat once I leave this place” his spat out at the guards, only to get a hard punch to the stomach as a response. Smack! Smack!“You want to speak to your father right?” The prison warden said as he entered the room “Fine, we will call him for you.”A call was placed across to Mr. Wilson, and with one single ring, his voice echoed at the other end of the line. “Hello Mr. Wilson, someone is dying to speak with you.” The warden passed the phone to Finn, who didn’t hesitate to grab it”“Dad!, dad!What the hell is going on? I have been here for weeks now. What am I still here?”“Shut u

Chapter 177Finn staggered back and Sofia scurried away from behind him. She picked up the gun which had fallen near her boss. Asher, on the floor by then, was fast losing a lot of blood.He brought his hand to his face. It was blood. He stood unsteady, his vision blurry and double and his mind was hazy. He staggered forward a little and Sofia quickly picked up the gun and aimed it at him.“Stay away!”Finn tilted from side to side, trying to widen his eyes. That made it worse as he couldn't even see Sofia or decipher the position of the gun anymore“You…”, he said, swinging his hand aimlessly. In fear, Sofia pulled the trigger and shot his leg.“Arghh”, Finn groaned, holding his leg. His back hit the wall and he fell to the floor, his mind's vision slowly going into a blackout.Sofia turned her focus to her boss, squatting down to his level.“Boss”, she said, shaking his leg. He was still conscious.“Sofie”, he whispered, the most quiet whisper Sofie had ever heard.“Boss! Stay with

Chapter 176The heavy screwdriver fell off her hands and landed on Sofia's right leg.“Ow!”, She cried in pain. She held herself from cursing out, hopping away a little, from the control board.She had tried to pull off the metal cover of the control board for the door. But there were no screws on it. Then, she tried to break the cover. And that landed her in the situation she was presently in. Sofia banged on the door.“Help!!”But she knew her efforts were effortless. There was none other in the building than her and Asher - and the intruder she recognised so much but couldn't place a finger on where she'd seen him.Sofia wanted to feel exhausted but the anxiety that controlled her was great. She'd spent at least fifteen minutes trying to get out of the room and that was more than enough time for her boss to have been reached and attacked by the intruder - probably even dead.“No”, she gasped. She had to think fast. She had to get out now.“Think Sofia. Think”, she said to herself,

Chapter 175Sofia relaxed a little when she heard footsteps on the staircase. She knew she was usually tense when they were in the same space but her anxiety seemed to heighten by the minute. It was unusual and she couldn't put a finger to it. She had tried to concentrate on work but she had only progressed in eating all the biscuits and cookies on the plate. She had poured the remaining contents of the bottled water into her mouth. Tossing the empty bottle into the bin underneath her desk, she had placed her fingers on her forehead and did a quick massage. Still, she felt stressed and just looking at the screen made her feel even more stressed.She took off her glasses and lay back on the chair. The footsteps felt closer now. She opened her eyes. No footstep heard. Maybe she really needed that sleep.She closed her system. Then she heard the footsteps again. Curious, she got up from where she was sitting and moved towards the door.For some reason, she was stealth about it. She look

Chapter 174The security cameras picked Finn's car as it sped past Asher's residential building. Finn's car was captured by the vigilant security cameras as it zipped past Asher's residential building, leaving a trail of speed in its wake. The driver and bodyguard in the car that had brought Elena noticed the car and watched it zoom off, bearing witness to the fleeting scene.The bodyguard put a phone call through to Mr. Salvatore.“Boss”“Speak to me Spider”“Intruder alert”“Intruder alert?”“Yes Boss. Some car just sped past us. There is no other residential building in this place and I can still see the car parked, though it's far away from the gate.”“Well, who's in it?”“We don't know yet Boss.”“Find out Spider and don't let them ruin this plan. È tutto chiaro? (Is that clear)”“Sì Capo (Yes Boss)”The call ended. Paolo moved towards where Raphael was. “They say there's an intruder, Raphael”“Oh really”, Raphael replied, his eyes fixed on the screen.“Put the security camera'

Chapter 173Sofia let out some air, obviously exhausted. Her boss, Asher, paced the room as he gave instructions over the phone. “I want ceramic used in those spaces, Travis, not wood. Did you…”Asher paused, listening to what the voice over the phone had to say.“Travis, Travis….”Another pause.“Listen.. listen to me. I don't want to know if it is or if it is not possible to get the ceramic tiles today. Whatever it is you need to do to get them today - this night - do it. Do it now. When I come by tomorrow, and just note I'll be coming in very early, I want the exact type and quality that I asked for. Can you get that done, Travis?”Asher paused for longer this time. “Okay. Let me rephrase that. Get it done Travis. Thank you”He ended the call. “What's up? Are you done?”“Yes sir”, Sofia said, letting out a sigh of relief at the end of her sentence. Asher did too.“Finally”, Asher said to Sofie, a slight smile on his face.Meanwhile, after minutes of wasted efforts going in the w

Chapter 172It was dark out. Asher glanced at his watch as he went up the stairs. It was past seven already. He walked into the office room where Sofie was still working.“Are you done?”“Almost sir. Let me just tidy up this document”“Alright”He left the room and came back with two small glass bowls of fruit salad.“Here”, he said, handing it over to Sofia.“Oh.. thank you Boss”“You deserve it”, he said, taking his over to the mediun sized sofa. Pink flushed on her cheeks and she had to bend her face so he wouldn't noticed. Asher smiled, noticing before she could even hide it. In all his life, he didn't know a person more shy than Sofia.He settled on the sofa, balancing the fruit salad bowl in his hand.“I've been willing to ask something, Sofia”Sofia raised her head immediately, unnecessarily in alarm.“How has your mum been?”“My mum? She's fine. She's.. perfectly okay”“Is she still at the hospital?”“Oh no sir. She got discharged about ..two months ago? Yes. It should be two

Chapter 171“It’s done Boss”, the delivery guy said, adjusting the air pod in his ear as he rode. The bike bent as he maintained being on the bend, the wind flapping in his ear. When he got onto the straight road, he had to reduce his speed for the traffic ahead.“Good”, the voice responded. “Well done Ryder”“Yes sir”The call terminated and Paolo set his phone down on the table. In front of him were three monitors and a slim guy sat in front of them, moving from one screen to another.“What’s the update, Raphael?”, Andrew asked“I'm in. I have successfully gained access into the facility now”, he replied, zooming in on one of the screens. On it was a live recording of Asher's gate, which was still open even when Asher had closed it. So he thought.Raphael switched to another monitor. On the monitor display, the different controls that were sectioned to the different parts of the house were shown. Raphael zoomed into each room, and the door controls, studying the signals. From there,
