"It took you so long to cook!" Mario shouted as he watched television, both legs up as he smoked a cigarette.While Selene was quietly cooking in the kitchen. The bruises on her arm were obvious and she noticed that she was losing weight due to not sleeping and eating properly.She looked at Mario who was busy watching the news. From her pocket she took out a small bottle that she bought at the grocery store.This bottle contains a poison that can weaken the person who drinks it to death. "Hey? Is that still long? I'm hungry!" Mario continued to shout which almost surprised Selene and fell the bottle on the ground.She was nervous about what she was going to do. Mario might catch her and that might be the way to kill her.She took a deep breath as he opened the bottle of poison. Shaking, she put its contents into the food. And then stirred. She was so nervous that she dropped the bottle and it broke on the floor."What the ----what is that?" Mario turned around.Selene hurried to get
Kevin turned to him "Are you sure?""Yes." he looked at the time on the cctv. "It's almost 12 in the afternoon when she enters the grocery store." Lucas says."This guy with him, it's possible that he is Mario's right hand now." Lucas continued.Kevin turned his gaze to Damian who was focused on watching. "Did you see the car's number plate?""Huh?" Damian scratched his head. "I'm old, my memory is dull." he answered.Lucas sighed. "Do you guys have CCTV in the parking lot?" he asked the young man.The young man nodded, "Yes."Lucas cheered up and let the young man operate some cctvs. "Is this what you are looking for?.""Bingo." Lucas said....Caspar was surprised to enter Mario's house. It was quiet and there seemed to be no one in the kitchen.He went to Mario's room and was shocked to see Mario standing up slowly while holding the left side of his head because of the bleeding."Boss!" he ran up to Mario. "What happened?""You idiot! It took you so long to come back! Selene..run
"No!" Lyon shouted, suddenly getting up from lying down. He fell asleep while reading a book. He saw himself in the mirror, sweaty and apparently terrified. He clutched his chest because of its sudden tightness."What happened?" he asked himself. "What is that nightmare?" he tried to remember his dream, a woman he witnessed being shot. He tried to stop it but it was too late.(Amora entered the library)She noticed that Lyon didn't seem to be in a good condition, so she stepped towards him, "Babe, is everything okay?" He turned to the book that Lyon was reading. Same as the book that Selene had left at Fiona's house, which she was supposed to give to Lyon.Because she remembered that, she grabbed the book from the table. "Why are you reading this?"Lyon frowned, he couldn't understand why Amora reacted like that to the book he was reading. "What’s wrong if I read this?"It seems like nothing comes out of Amora's mouth, She didn't know what to say. "N-Nothing. I just don't want your br
The next day, Lucas and his wife Reign immediately lit candles inside the mansion. Orvin and Gemma, Kevin and Fiona and some servants were also there inside the mansion. They are crying because in the years they have been with Selene, she has never shown them anything bad.Everyone is wearing black, even the baby, Baby Reid, is also mourning because of his silent crying, Olga is carrying him, who is also sad about what happened, she didn't know that Mario's evil will reach that level.Fiona couldn't stop crying, she stood up with Kevin who starred sadly at the candle. Not a single word comes out of their mouths.Orvin walked out briefly because he almost blamed himself too, thinking he didn't do his job well to protect the Armstrong family.Everyone's thinking...how is Lyon doing now? How will he react when he finds out that the woman he loved and protected the most is gone....Lyon drives fast. He was going back to the mansion even though he didn't remember everything yet, he had
At the mansionEverything is a mess..broken glasses and bases are scattered on the floor, while the servants are in their rooms. They were terrified of Lyon who seemed to be out of his mind. Sitting on one side next to the big photo of Selene, he was stunned with a bloody hand and still couldn't seem to accept the incident."Don't blame him, Lucas...what happened is really terrible for him; let's now understand him," Reign murmured as they leaned back and watched Lyon.Lucas remained motionless, pinching his lower lip. His eyes, which had earlier been bold and aggressive, now seemed to be controlled by sympathy for Lyon. He felt bad about what he had done to him earlier.Lucas slowly walked towards his older brother.Lyon was dumbfounded, he barely felt his brother approaching him."We didn't get very far when we came across the—-""Where is Selene's body?"Lucas came to a halt, slightly bowed, and was at a loss for words."If she's really dead...why can't you show me her body?" Lyon
After a few days, it seemed that Lyon did not have much to live for. He was drowning in alcohol. His environment is chaotic, he can't sleep at night because he keeps crying every time he remembers Selene's hugs in the cold night.He was merely staring out the window at the bright moon, which appeared to despise him. He hasn't forgiven himself for pushing Selene away; if he hadn't been in an accident, their fate would have been different.He closed his eyes as he remembered their past that he was still with Selene.(FLASHBACK)When they were newly married..Lyon seriously handed over his book gift for Selene."I know you like to read books...because I saw you one day that you almost locked yourself in the library," he says.While Selene was sitting on one side. Ignoring him. She seems unhappy in their marriage.Lyon sighed. He dropped the book on the table near Selene's bed."Even if we're married...I won't force you to share the same room." Selene looked at him, "That's not part of w
"How is Lyon?" Reign asked Lucas, as they both ate breakfast.Lucas was lazily eating, he looked at Olga who was busy playing with Baby Reid."How is Olga taking care of Baby? Is it okay?" Lucas's conversation changed."She's alright. But...I feel something strange about her." Reign looked at Olga.Lucas frowned, "What do you mean?""In the past few months, I saw her enter our room..she was holding the photo of Selene and Lyon's wedding, the one of us together in the same photo." Reign explained, trying to lower her voice so Olga wouldn't hear her.Lucas thought, "Yeah, that's strange."Reign nodded. "That's why I say so." and she ate back her food.Lucas returned his gaze to Olga, "But you don't think she will do anything bad to our son?"It took a long time before Reign could answer, she shook her head. "I don't trust her."Lucas dropped the spoon he was holding. And then stand up."Lucas what are you gonna do?" Reign asked, widening her eyes giving a sign to her husband.Lucas sigh
"He's resting." Kevin said after she slowly closed the door to Lyon's room.Gemma sighed and nodded. "Thank you, Kevin."Orvin approached Kevin. "Is he still in a bad condition?"Kevin sighed. Remembering Lyon’s emotion a few hours later. "When a man who truly loves loses the woman he really cares about... there is no cure for the pain."Orvin slightly bowed. Didn’t say anything.Kevin looked at Gemma. "Let's not leave him even if he pushes us away...he needs someone to be with. He is having suicidal thoughts now and we need to stop him.""Oh my God." Gemma's reaction. "In all my life serving the Armstrong...only now have I seen Lyon act like this."Orvin nodded. "I will order many of my men to guard the mansion." he looked at Kevin. "Let's continue looking for Mario. Because I know that if Lyon decides to look for him, he might not think about himself anymore.."Kevin nodded. "I'm leaving. I still have work at the company."When Kevin leaves, Lucas enters the mansion."How's Lyon?" h
"Lyon, my baby boy." a voice woke up Lyon who was fast asleep. He slowly opened his eyes. He immediately woke up to see his father and mother smiling at him."Dad..Mom," he says."Son, I'm so proud of you." his father said. "I didn't expect you to be this brave to defend me and your Mom. But this is all I can tell you, that in the midst of all our sins, you did the right thing to come and talk to him." he continued.Oscar stroked Lyon's hair. “I know you will be a great and good father to your son. Always shared the things that I always tell you. In the midst of a chaotic world, always choose to be a good person." he smiled.Lyon's tears fell. "Dad, the lives of Selene and my son are in danger. W-What should I do?" he asked his father.His mother was smiling looking at him. “Lyon, all this is just a challenge. God just waited for you to come to him, and you didn’t fail him. Everything is fine, son.” she responds.Lyon was about to speak when he suddenly woke up. He seems to have under
"Poor Lyon. When life is getting better and favored by them, then this happens." Lucas said.Reign looked at him sadly. "Out of everything the two of them have been through, this is the worst, Lucas. Thinking about the poor child in Selene's womb, it makes me depressed." she answered crying.Lucas wiped his eyes out crying "I don't know what pain Lyon is feeling right now, my brother doesn't deserve it, especially Selene, they are good people." he says."Let's just pray that everything will be fine and that both Selene and the child will be saved. God's mercy is great.”....Lyon stood up, he looked around and he didn't realize that he had arrived in front of the church inside the hospital. He hesitates to go inside because first of all, since his parents died, he has forgotten that there is a God.He swallowed, he knew that it wouldn't help him either because he believed in God then but the course of his life didn't change.Closing his eyes, he continued to walk but something seem
“Selene…Selene!” Lyon shouted as he followed Selene with the doctors running her inside the hospital.He held her hands, while Selene looked at Lyon with weak and pleading eyes."L-Lyon..." Selene said slowly, she could barely speak.There was a lot of blood that spread on her and in her current situation it seems that there is a possibility that the life of the baby in her belly is in danger."My love, you will be better." Lyon said and then kissed Selene on the forehead. Selene was quickly admitted to the emergency room.Lyon was punching the wall, he wanted to scream in anger. He felt that he had failed in protecting his wife and their son.Lucas ran to his brother.“Brother!” He immediately hugged him. Lyon looked down and cried on Lucas's shoulder.While Reign and Susan were crying on the other side. Continue to pray for the safety of Selene and the baby.Kevin and Ava are also walking towards them. When Kevin saw Lyon crying, he approached him and hugged him."Lyon." he just sa
A masculine man pulled Lyon closer to Arnold. They did not stop him from beating him, punching him in the face and all over his body. His whole body was full of wounds that seemed to be tortured well. Lyon has almost no strength to fight, he only has one eye to see.His body was almost red from the blood flowing from his wounds. Arnold was happy as he watched him like that."Hmm, you remind me of your father, Lyon." he said happily.The man made Lyon kneel and pulled him by the hair so he could look up at Arnold. He barely had the strength to fight back or even speak.But he still looked bravely at Arnold."Y-You weak fucking shit." Lyon said weakly to him.Arnold was annoyed so he ordered to punch Lyon in the mouth again. "Your mouth is too foul, young Armstrong." he says.Lyon's head is bowed, no strength.Arnold walked around in Lyon’s place. He sighed, “Hmm, I miss this place. Wherein was the end of my mortal enemy, Oscar Bridgetons.” he says.Lyon could do nothing but listen to w
"What's going on upstairs?" Reign asked restlessly. She walked back and forth while Baby Reid was carried by Susan.For the time being they sit on one side and pray that everything will be alright."Oscar, Irene.. guide your son, Lyon as well as his brother Lucas. Selene who is innocent and carries the poor baby in her womb. Don't let history repeat itself with your son, he needs the guidance of both of you." Susan begged in tears as she looked up.Everyone looked at her, maybe she was talking to Lyon's late parents.Reign sat closer and hugged the old woman....When Kevin arrived at the old mansion, he immediately got out of the car. He also took up a sharp weapon and slung it around his waist. He walked slowly into the mansion, passing many dead people on the floor. He recognized them as not being Lyon's men.He encountered an enemy outside and immediately shot him.That caught the attention of Lyon and Arnold. At that time Lyon's men started to fight with Orvin. Lyon wasted no t
"Why haven't they come back yet?" Reign asked nervously as she carried the sleeping Baby Reid.Killain was uncomfortable as well, so he decided to follow them upstairs."Killain, what are you doing?" Rudy asked immediately."Dad, I'll just look for them." Kian immediately ran out of the underground. He dashed up the stairs to find Selene and Lucas, who hadn't returned in almost half an hour.But he immediately stopped walking when he noticed the unknown people around. They were wearing long black suits and seemed to be carrying weapons. He looked at the top of the room and there he saw Lucas's naked body that was unconscious and with both hands hanging, with the two men watching over him.He became nervous and quickly returned to the underground, locking the door behind him.He was terrified and almost couldn't breathe because of what he saw. Reign became tense as she hugged Baby Reid. Kian's face was trembling with fear."Where are Lucas and Selene?" she trembledly asked Killain."I-
Ava can't stop crying knowing that her father is dead. She never talked to him and told him how much she loved him. This time, she knows he did the right thing, even if it meant risking his life. The important thing is that he did it for her safety and also for her beloved Kevin.Crying filled the cage where they were both locked, it was painful for Kevin to see Ava crying especially and he couldn't do anything, nor could he help Ellias in the fight.It seems like sad music that he hears, until finally he proves that a father's love is different.Until Orvin appeared to them, he shot the man guarding the two of them and quickly opened their railing.The slow motion action was tinged with grief as Kevin ran to hug Ava.Orvin supports the two as they walk. He also gave them a gun for their protection.At this time, their opponents are few. The Armstrong had a great match between the Petersons. Until everything becomes clear. Filled with silence."My Dad, where is my Dad?" Ava continued
Ellias put more pressure on burying the knife he was holding in Harold's stomach. Harold's big eyes are slowly squinting because of his laughing expression."Hahahaha." Harold laughed loudly while Ellias was surprised because there was no blood coming out of Harold's body or even weakness, he didn't feel it either.Until Harold grabbed the knife and showed to Ellias that the one he had given him was a fake.Ellias' eyes widened in shock; he hadn't expected it."You think I'll just trust you like that, Ellias?" Harold asked, laughing.When Lyon heard that, he came to a halt and looked for a hiding spot."Ellias, what's going on?" Lyon asked from the ear pad. Ellias did not respond, instead staring at Harold while holding the fake knife."I know you're planning something bad for me," Harold continued, pulling out the real knife, which was the blade's core.Ellias swallowed, wondering how he would make the way to fight Harold. He didn't even have a gun because he had surrendered to the m
"What's going on?" asked Lyon, because for some time there was silence in the way they used to communicate with each other.Orvin immediately repaired the laptop from which the recording was made. "Someone isn't connected," Orvin explained."It's probably Kevin," Lyon said, rolling his eyes."Lyon, we need to go inside; there's a signal from one of my people; they've changed their clothes," Daniel said on the other end of the line."Wait for my order, Daniel; Kevin hasn't responded yet." Lyon replied seriously, worried because he hadn't heard from Kevin.Until the signal returned to Kevin's station gradually."L-Lyon," Kevin stammered."What's going on, Kalen?" Lyon wondered aloud, a little concerned.“I had a hard time taking out my ear pad. I have seen the ones you can pass through. Many men are inside surrounding Harold Peterson, I am here now inside the rails, it is very difficult for me to move because anytime they can catch me." Kevin said in a hurry, almost whispering so he wou
