AS LONG AS I'M BREATHING TWENTY FOUR
Meanwhile in an elite gambling venue in the city of Chicago, Lorenzo disguised himself as a gambler to follow his men who were caught gambling at the venue an hour ago. While playing blackjack, Lorenzo continued to observe the movements of Orlando who was sitting at the second table next to him. An hour and a half ago when he was about to enter the headquarters, he accidentally saw Orlando walking out of the headquarters. Seeing this, he immediately followed Orlando to see Orlando's true identity because he had dared to play with him and lied to him about the existence of the mafia he was after. "Dude, show me your card." Lorenzo slammed his cards on the gambling table with a triumphant grin etched on his face. "I win." Lorenzo also got some bet money from other players, and after that he walked away because he saw Orlando who was starting to leave his seat. Meanwhile a man in a neat suit who had been Lorenzo's gambling opponent looked so serious watching Lorenzo's steps begin t

Orlando continued to walk along the sidewalks of Michigan Avenue and he stopped at a shop that looked closed from the front. But the man soon turned into a small alley beside the shop and he entered the shop through a side door. Selena who saw this sneaked into the alley and she sneaked into the shop when Orlando had walked in first and he couldn't possibly have sensed her there. "What place is this?" Selena muttered under her breath when she found a bunch of boxes filled with alcohol and chemicals she'd never seen before. Selena is getting deeper walking into the building and she then realizes that the building is actually a storage warehouse for illegal alcohol and also chemicals that don't know what it is used for. Selena faintly heard the sound of conversation coming from a room in the building. Selena rushed into the deeper part of the building so she could get the information she had been looking for. "How is the condition of the HQ, is everything safe?" “Don't worry, the HQ

Lorenzo drove his car with emotion as well as haste. In his mind right now there are only Selena, Selena, and Selena. Since then, his head has been haunted by bad thoughts about Selena's uncertain condition. Even the woman's cell phone could not be reached at all. Plus the information about the empty warehouse that burned down in Michigan Avenue further added to his panic about Selena's uncertain condition. If bad things happen to Selena, he vows to kill Orlando and all the people involved in taking Selena hostage. “Captain watch out!!” Lorenzo stomped on the brake pedal hard when a middle-aged woman suddenly passed in front of his car. Angrily Lorenzo cursed loudly while hitting the steering wheel hard because he was so angry about his situation that he couldn't do anything quickly to find Selena as soon as possible. "Shit! This will take a long time.” “You won't be able to save that beautiful wife of yours, Captain Maximillan, because the warehouse is already completely burned d

Meanwhile Lay and Austin began to arrest Orlando who had been lying helplessly on the ground. They both called their other colleagues to take Orlando to the prosecutor's office. Luckily Monica arrived just in time before Lorenzo could finish off Orlando, otherwise Lorenzo might be suspended for violating the existing code of ethics. "Have they come?" Austin asked Aimee. The woman shook her head slowly while squatting near Orlando. “Who is the other traitor hiding in the HQ? You haven't answered yet." Aimee asked quietly. Orlando tilted his head towards Aimee with a smirk that looked scary. The man chuckled softly in front of Aimee with a slight cough due to the tightness of his chest. “Don't you also know cough.. Who is the traitor? Better to start figuring it out now because it might be…” Bughh “Austin!!” Aimee snapped at Austin angrily when Austin hit Orlando's neck until Orlando fainted, even though the man was about to tell her the characteristics of the traitor. "He talks

Enzo wept in his grandmother's arms when the coffin carrying Selena's body had arrived at Mrs. Watson. All of Selena's close relatives are crying over Selena's sudden and tragic death. In a quiet corner of the room, Lorenzo was daydreaming while imagining the beautiful memories he had carved with Selena so far. Starting from their unusual introduction to their approach which was colored by commotion and their domestic life which was not always sweet, but left a very deep impression on Lorenzo. Selena is everything to him. Although Selena is not his first love, but Selena is his last love and the mother of his son. Selena is his true love. If Selena left, then what would he do? He wasn't sure he could raise Enzo on his own and go through his difficult days without Selena. Suddenly a gentle tap landed on Lorenzo's shoulder and made Lorenzo look back with his sad eyes. Beside him now stood the president in a black tuxedo suit showing his condolences. The old man sat next to Lorenzo and

Flash back "Selena I'm home." Lorenzo came into his house tired and disheveled. Today just finished an assassination mission that took place in a luxury apartment in the New York, and this mission really drained his energy because the killer turned out to be so cunning and clever in playing his plans. “Lorenzo!!!” Suddenly in the midst of the exhaustion that hit Lorenzo, Selena appeared from the kitchen while jumping at him and hugging him tightly. She screamed in the side of his face so loudly that he had to tilt his head to the side to avoid his wife's deafening shrill voice. "What's wrong, why are you screaming?" asked Lorenzo angrily. Selena was still in Lorenzo's arms while shaking Lorenzo's body so many times that Lorenzo felt that his current body was really going to fall apart because of Selena's actions. “Selena, you're making me sicker. Take your hand off my shoulder." By forcing a little, Lorenzo released the slender fingers from his shoulders and pushed Selena back

The thumping sound of music filled Lorenzo's ears from the moment he decided to enter the club and drink as much as he can to forget his sadness about Selena. Already ten times Lorenzo had asked the bartender to give him a brandy so he would get drunk and no longer imagine Selena waiting anxiously for him at home. Now Lorenzo was starting to feel the effects of the brandy which had affected his mind until now his head was spinning and dizzy. In an indistinct voice, Lorenzo asked the bartender to give him another eleventh brandy. To hell with his drunken state, all he wanted today was to let go of the image of Selena that hurt him. "Give me one more shot." asked Lorenzo in an indistinct voice. At the same time Lorenzo's head fell on the table as the effect of the brandy began to work on his light body. Lorenzo fell asleep imagining Selena's smiling face in his head. Flash back Lorenzo was walking alone in the hallway of his headquarters when he heard the voices of women gossiping ab

One week after Selena's death, Lorenzo began to adapt to his new status. Now he is learning to do everything himself. Starting from waking Enzo to go to school, preparing Enzo breakfast, and taking Enzo to school. But it was not all done by Lorenzo himself because Carmen always helped him. Since knowing all the things that happened to Lorenzo, she dared to show her concern by often coming to Lorenzo's house to prepare breakfast or taking care of Enzo if Lorenzo was busy finishing his work at the headquarters. "Good morning." Carmen greeted father and son who were walking down the stairs one by one. Enzo, who was next to Lorenzo, looked at Lorenzo strangely because Carmen had been at his house that early. “Dad, why did aunty Carmen come into our house so early?” Lorenzo shrugged and looked directly at the gardener who just happened to be passing in front of them. “Looks like Beck let her in. Beck, next time don't let strangers into this house." Lorenzo warned with a cold face. Be

Selena was pensive at the edge of the sidewalk while watching the passing of Agents, police officers, and medical teams who were busy evacuating victims of a suicide bombing. It felt like what happened this morning was like a dream for Selena. It was only three days ago that she woke up from her terrible amnesia, and now she has been faced with another horrific event that has claimed several innocent lives. Many Agents died tonight defending her. In order to save herself and the shackles of the ruthless mafia that had always been the target of their team. But Selena never thought that it would be as terrible as tonight. Austin... the man who was once a part of her life, her little brother who always adored her, was not that innocent. Austin has been deceiving a lot of people with his sweet mask that really made everyone fall for his kind demeanor. In fact she never expected the slightest until she became the figure of Krystal. A cruel and bloodthirsty young woman. Selena massaged her
AS LONG AS I'M BREATHING SIXTY TWO (AUSTIN'S SIDE)
Since Selena's death, the atmosphere in this place has grown increasingly gloomy. Coupled with the various unpleasant events that occurred at this place. All agents looked less excited than usual. This afternoon I feel empty. Normally we would work passionately with Selena, but right now she's struggling in Las Vegas. Last night I received news that she had passed her critical period, but she had not yet opened her eyes. I hope she wakes up soon and can return to our midst. “Austin...” Brukk Suddenly someone cornered me against the wall and pushed me between the wall and the man. But a few seconds later I immediately realized that the man who was pinning me was our captain, Lorenzo. “Captain, what are you doing?” “Excellent acting Austin. I already know everything.” he said with a cynical laugh etched on his face. I furrowed my brows in disbelief and tried to remain calm in front of him. “You shot me when I was about to stop Jesse McLean, and you acted weird when Selena was tr

Selena shot Jesse McLean, but unfortunately the bullet missed because Yunho immediately jumped to save Jesse McLean so the bullet only hurt Yuho's leg and also broke a large vas behind them. "Damn it! Look what she's doing now, you're really stupid for still thinking of her as Krystal, she's not Krystal! She will destroy us!” Bang Bang Abraham Cunningham tried to shoot Selena, but Selena managed to dodge and returned Abraham Cunningham's shot at her, but unfortunately the shot missed because Selena shot him not with full focus. "Krystal! Stop all this, you're inside the Bloods main mansion. Right now all the Bloods members are already out there. If you kill any of us, you obviously won't survive because they will surely kill you the moment you step your foot out of this room. If you still want to be with your family, you better obey my orders. Throw that weapon away right now!” Jesse McLean ordered firmly. Selena smiled sarcastically at Jesse McLean and instead put the gun right

"Halo, where are you?" "That is none of your business." Selena replied curtly at Austin who was calling her. The woman pulled up her car in front of a mini market that was open twenty-four hours to buy something because she was so hungry. But when she was about to get off, she saw a black car that also stopped not far from where it stopped. She canceled her intention to get off and went back into her car to test whether the black car was really following her or not. “That is my business now that you are my fiancé.” Austin replied firmly. Selena snorted in disgusting and prepared to hang up the phone, but Austin's warning tone managed to stop her from pressing the red button on her phone. “Don't even think about turning off your cell phone Krystal Cunningham. I know you're being followed right now." Krystal glanced in her rearview mirror and saw a black sedan that was following her. She then opened the drawer of her car and pulled out a gun that she always kept in there. "Who are

Mrs. Watson who saw that her son-in-law did not react to the woman whose face was similar to her daughter. She looked at Lorenzo with a confused face. “Mom, Selena has amnesia yesterday. The criminals brainwashed Selena to avenge them on me. They then used Selena to harm her own family, so yesterday she had to shoot Enzo. But now Selena is back. She already remembers everything and wants to make amends for all her mistakes to Enzo." "Really?" Mrs. Watson looked at Selena tearfully while cupping Selena's face full of emotion. And after that she hugged her daughter tightly while sobbing on Selena's shoulder because finally after two years of separation, the two of them were able to meet again. “Selena... Selena, my daughter. You're finally back, sweetheart," said Mrs. Watson sobbed. Selena hugged her mom tightly and she poured out all her longing for her mom. And now she no longer feels the emptiness like when she was Krystal. Now she really has found her family with whom she truly

"Where's Krystal?" Jesse McLean asked where Krystal was after two days he had to go abroad to solve various problems that occurred in Bloods. "Ms. Krystal since completed her mission to injure captain Lorenzo's son has confined herself to a room, sir," said a man in charge of guarding the Jesse McLean residence. Not long after that Austin appeared casually while biting an apple from the kitchen. "You're just exaggerating. Krystal wasn't that bad, she just locked herself in her room because she was stressed thinking about all the boring things that happened in the headquarters. If I were Krystal, I would definitely do the same.” "Then what about that son of a bitch, did Krystal manage to do well?" Austin shrugged nonchalantly, and unceremoniously walked past Jesse McLean to sit down on the comfortable couch. “Krystal did a great job, the child is currently dying in the hospital. And if you're lucky, maybe the kid is already dead." said Austin casually. Jesse McLean furrowed his

Selena stood in front of a Chicago hospital with nervousness and fear running through her heart. Yesterday she overheard Austin refer to the Chicago hospital as the place where Enzo was being treated. And now here she was to meet Enzo, Lorenzo, and also her mother. But she was afraid. She was afraid they would hate her and kick her out of here because she almost killed Enzo. “Lorenzo...” From a distance, Selena could already see Lorenzo bending his head to face the floor in the waiting room with a frustrated expression on his face. Next to him stood a woman who was gently stroking her husband's back while whispering words she couldn't hear. "Lorenzo, I'm sorry." Selena sobbed softly from where she was standing in a pitiful voice. She decided to walk closer to Lorenzo so she could apologize to him for all the things she had done to him. "You!" Carmen flinched in surprise as she pointed at Selena who suddenly appeared in front of her. Suddenly, Lorenzo looked up and looked alertly

“Krystal, are you okay?” Austin looked at Krystal worriedly as he continued to concentrate on the busy street in front of him. Ever since they left Lorenzo's front yard a few minutes ago, Krystal looked dazed and seemed like a lunatic. She repeatedly mumbled words about murder and blood which made Austin even more worried about the woman's condition. “You've done the right thing, you really should have repaid that man's lecherous treatment of you. You're great Krystal," praised Austin while gently stroking the top of Krystal's head. Krystal just stood there and didn't even respond to Austin's words. Right now she was like an undead that looked so terrible. Her face that usually emitted a dangerous killing aura had now turned pale and colorless. The assassination attempt she did a moment ago managed to shake Krystal's soul for some reason. Could something have happened to her? "Austin, I want to go home." Krystal said slowly. Austin nodded his head while heaving a sigh of relief b

"Krystal! My Krystal!” Jesse McLean and Yunho greeted Krystal with a feeling of relief when the woman walked with a haughty face into the living room of her grandfather's main house, Abraham Cunningham. "Where have you been? I have been looking for you since yesterday." "Don't worry boss, Krystal is safe." Austin suddenly appeared from the front door and made everyone present shriek in surprise. "Austin, you're still alive," said Jesse McLean in disbelief. Austin nodded his head slightly at his boss and smiled proudly at all the Bloods members in the main house. "I managed to get out of my car and jump into the Chicago River." “But how could the rescue team not be able to find you?” Yunho asked openly. He was initially very sure that Austin would not be able to survive, now seemed very curious about what Austin had done to survive the death that was about to take him. “I hid and managed to get out of the river before the rescue team went down the river to look for my body.
