Early the next day, Samantha watches as Joe Black leaves her residence by her window. It annoyed her that the man even dare looked up at her window to know she would be checking on him. "All I need now is to get rid of the other one." As she sat down in her bed, she started thinking about the stories Joe Black told. Their mysterious past indeed some kind of entertainment to other. However, for them it's a nightmare. For her who wanted to forget her past and move on, it seems unlike to be happening. Seeing as she couldn't go back to sleep, she decided to go down to the kitchen to prepare herself some warm drinks. On her way, she coincidentally bumps into someone she didn't expect. "Z?" "Morning." He replied still with the cold expression on his face. Jacob looked at the woman and notice the concern on her face. He woke up as he heard the door next-door open meaning Joe Black must have left. He wanted to see if he had indeed left, not expecting to meet with the woman whom he became
"Who would think she would look like our daughter?" "With a few bath, she would look like her indeed." The little watch in confusion as to what the couple were talking about. She said not a word nor asked any questions as to what would happen to her. "From now on, you will be our daughter." Said the woman with a smile on her face. "Daughter?" The little girl finally opened her mouth for the first time since she arrived. The word daughter confused her as to how she was related to them. She knew her parents had passed away, as that is what the old lady had told her. "Once you're old enough, you'll understand." The man explained as he then looked at the servants and instructed them to take the child away to wash her up. The little girl obediently followed without any questions. When she arrived at the room she would be staying in, she was in shock, as it was as big as her previous home. Even the bathroom was huge. "I can take off my cloths." The little girl explained as she found i
Venus looked at the man who seemed unsure of everything, she sighs deeply before telling him to leave. She explained to him, that his presence was not needed and that she'd take care of the woman. Jacob would visit from time to time as he was worried, in the end, he ended up making an excuse to Venus that he and Red had some urgent business to take care of. Jacob informed the servants of what had happened to Samantha and told them to make some excuses with her guess that she isn't feeling well. The guest didn't question at all and made their way home as the host was sick. [Is everything alright?] Venus who was watching over the girl giggled from time to time as the man continuously checked on her and the woman. She would honestly reply and tease him from time that he was only showing concern for the woman. To her surprise, she didn't expect the man would be so gentle that he sent some special snacks for her through his servants and even had a doctor visit them. Meanwhile, Jacob a
As Jacob arrived at Margaret's apartment building, he was prepared for the worst. Seeing as no police area around, people must have not noticed the danger yet. He looked around and notice his people all on standby. He prompted them not to make a single move until he gave them a signal.On his way to her apartment, he acted as if nothing was out of the ordinary. As he said on the phone, he brought in some snacks.When he arrived, he put in the code to the door as he needed to act as if he was not a stranger and knew everything about the woman. He slowly opened the door as he walked inside. "Mag, I'm here.""Z, you're finally here." Margaret walked towards the door and welcomed the man. She embraced him tightly as she held her tears in fear for what was to happen."Don't worry, everything will be fine." Jacob whispered to her as he reassured her nothing bad would happen."Actually, we have a guest." Margaret said, as he escorted the man to the living area."A guest?" Jacob played along
Jacon continues to ponder whether the words coming from Venus's mouth were for real. She was the person she never would expect to come forwards with everything. As he listened to her story more, he became more speechless, and dumbfounded by the situation. He thought hard about it, but he couldn't find a good solution yet for their problem. If the two of them suddenly disappeared, he was sure Joe Black would hunt them down. When he meant Joe Black, the real Joe Black. "Do you know where he is?" "Who knows where the b*stard is? We haven't seen each other since the day he went missing." Venus explained finding it odd as well that the man vanished out of thin air then, the b*stard son became Joe Black. She and others who are aware of the man's identity have always wondered what happened to the real Joe Black. "Did he die?" Jacob asked despite he doubt the man is dead as he seems to be a living ghost just like him. "Please, you think a man like him would just die easily. I know he

The conversation between the two ended so late that Margaret ended up preparing for the four of them. Venus happily helped around as she had finally let the load she was holding for years go. She didn't expect Margaret to show the same adoration towards her and was in tears whilst they were working in the kitchen together. "Are you not angry?" Venus inquire whilst she was preparing the salad. "You made your choice to survive. I am lucky to have you so I don't have to make such choices as well." Margaret explained as her tears continue to roll down her face. "Don't worry, Z is a man of his words." "I know, I just worry that I'll be putting him in danger for my selfish desire." Venus replied as she finished the salad and went to prepare the rest of the meal. "Don't think like that." Margaret hugged Venus from behind before she made her way. "What happened in the past happened because of your situation. But, it does not define who you are. I know you as my friend, and I'll always t
After the meal with the ladies, Jacob made his way and headed straight back to his hotel. Inside his car, he made the call to have everyone on standby as he didn’t know what will happen once, he is gone. Who knows if Joe Black’s men are watching them or not. It was best they are prepared for the worst. He grabs his phone and made a call to Red. “What? Venus gave in? Seriously?” Red on the other side couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He didn’t expect that it would be Venus who would eventually give in and reveal everything to the man. What he wanted to know, was what was going in the woman’s head when she was telling the man everything. She must have felt exhausted from the drama in her life. A life in a dark is always not a happy life. You may have all the riches but you can never fill the loneliness in your heart. “Well, I don’t know what she is planning. But we will keep our eyes open. Make some preparation. If Venus is indeed telling the truth and she wants to disappear then
