Later on the same day as when Virginia was having her day off with Cedric, Lusiana decided to execute the plan right away. But first, she called Miller and Vincent to make the preparation.Vincent reported that Cedric and Virginia went somewhere to refreshing. He also said that Susan was also there to accompany them.“What? There is one maid joining them?” Lusiana thought that she only needed to sacrifice only one person for her plan.“Yes, that maid is actually the one who use to be close with Virginia. Should we separate her from Virginia?” Vincent suggested.“Let it be then. We just need to secure Cedric from Virginia. Now, let’s call our fateful pawn.” Lusiana demanded her husband to call the man who took the request to make the car accident.In few minutes, the man came and he looked terrified at first. He was so afraid that he might die for sure.“Are you nervous?” Lusiana asked the man. “We have helped you to pay for your wife’s operation, your daughter’s fee, and also giving y

They settled on a comfortable bench, ready to engage in a lively girls' talk.Susan, known for her sharp wit and insider knowledge, regaled Virginia with amusing tales and gossip about the eccentricities of the mansion staff. They exchanged playful whispers and laughter as Susan delved into the peculiar habits and idiosyncrasies that colored the daily lives of those working in the grand estate.

As Cedric and Vincent entered the mansion, they were met with a tense atmosphere. The capos, gathered by Miller's instigation, were clearly displeased and eager to voice their grievances. One of the capos, Marco, confronted Cedric with a scowl on his face."You expect us to take orders from that woman, Cedric?" Marco spat, his voice dripping with disdain. "She's got no experience, no understanding of how things work around here. It's a mockery to have her in charge!"Cedric stepped forward, his voice firm and resolute. "You all seem to forget that Gerald made this decision for a reason. He saw something in Virginia that we might have overlooked. She may not have the same background as us, but that doesn't mean she can't lead effectively."Another capo, Giovanni, scoffed. "Lead effectively? She can barely handle herself, let alone a criminal organization. This is a dangerous game we're playing, and we need someone with real knowledge and expertise, not some naïve outsider."Ced

Gianluca, a seasoned fisherman, had set out early in the morning for his daily catch along the shores of the small island near Sicilia.

Curiosity piqued, he approached cautiously and discovered Virginia lying unconscious in the sand.With a mixture of concern and urgency, Gianluca quickly scooped Virginia into his arms, cradling her gently. He could see that she was in dire need of medical attention. Without hesitation, he rushed her back to his humble home, where his wife, Rosa, anxiously awaited his return.As they laid Virginia on a makeshift bed, Gianluca hurriedly fetched a damp cloth and gently dabbed her forehead, hoping to alleviate any discomfort.

Let's call the local clinic and inform them of our situation," he urged, his voice filled with concern.Rosa nodded, her voice filled with empathy as she caressed Virginia's hand. "We

The next morning, Virginia found herself in the presence of the two teenage daughters of the old couple. With a gentle smile, she greeted them, trying her best to maintain her facade of memory loss. The girls, brimming with curiosity, began firing questions at her with unwavering enthusiasm."Hey, who are you? Are you friend of Mama and Papa?” asked one of them out of the blue.“Uh, I’m Virginia, I think. And you can say that they are more than just friends to me....”That girl’s eyes widened to hear that ambigous remark. “Wow, is it something like I often heard from my friend’s stories? Ummm, what was it, I forgot.... Oh yeah, I remember! Are you perhaps involved in Love Three Angels or something along that line?”“It’s love triangle, you dummy!” retorted another girl with a ponytail.Virginia chuckled to witness their innocence, somehow reminding her of Susan’s antics. “No, when I say that they’re more than just a friend to me, I mean they have saved my life.

Virginia wiped the sweat from her brow as she continued working alongside Rosa. With determination in her eyes, she shared her plan to fight back against the local thugs and bring justice to the village. But instead of immediate agreement, Rosa wore a skeptical expression, her voice filled with doubt."Virginia, I understand your frustration, but we must consider the consequences," Rosa cautioned. "These thugs are not to be taken lightly. They have power and influence, and we, as ordinary people, might only face more harm if we oppose them directly."Virginia paused, taking in Rosa's words. She understood the validity of Rosa's concerns. After all, they were just simple villagers without any influential connections or resources. But her resolve remained unshaken, and she spoke with unwavering conviction."I know it won't be easy, Rosa," Virginia replied, her voice filled with determination. "But if we continue to live in fear, we will always be at their mercy. We deserve better,

Rosa's eyes widened in disbelief, but as she met Virginia's resolute gaze, she understood that this was something Virginia had thought through.Reluctantly, Rosa nodded. "If this is what you truly want, Virginia, then I will do it for you." She fetched a pair of scissors and began to carefully trim Virginia's long locks, transforming them into a short and practical hairstyle.As Virginia's hair fell to the ground, she felt a sense of liberation, as if shedding her old identity and embracing a new one.

It was crucial for her to avoid any suspicion and protect her cover. She knew that getting too close to them could jeopardize her mission.However, whenever the opportunity arose, Virginia would strategically position herself nearby, pretending to clean or tidy up the surroundings.

Both Miller and Vincent paused as their nephew pointed at the flaw. Undoubtedly, they weren’t the perfect partners in crime. In fact, it was obvious that they had almost nothing in common other than their goal of taking over Gerald's mafia clan. Still oblivious to Cedric’s act of bringing conflict to their table, the two listened to him closely.“To be frank, I’m pretty sure Uncle Vincent is more worthy to be the successor than you, Uncle Miller,” Cedric said fraudulently.Vincent’s eyes lightened up in contrast to Miller who was still trying to comprehend what his nephew just told. In a huff, the latter protested, “Don’t you dare to patronize these experienced men, Cedric. You're just an immature brat who doesn't know anything about the mafia world.”“You’re wrong, Uncle.” smiled Cedric, which only fueled Miller’s confusion and anger. “Remember, you don’t share the same blood with my Dad.

Cedric took a step forward, his charismatic flair in full display. "So, gentlemen, are we to believe that this orchestrated chaos is simply your way of getting our attention?"Vincent's laughter, grandiose and boisterous, filled the air. "You catch on quickly, young Cedric. But then again, intelligence seems to run in the family."Cedric's retort was swift and sardonic. "Indeed, it's hard to miss when one is surrounded by such eloquence."Meanwhile, Virginia's subtle movements caught the attention of Vincent and Miller's men, who instinctively shifted their positions to maintain a perimeter. Virginia's gaze remained steady, her voice a blend of charm and calculated elegance. "Gentlemen, are we to assume that this chaotic display is merely a façade to mask your intentions?"Miller's smile held an edge of satisfaction. "Astute, Virginia.

Miller and Cedric decided to distribute a new task for each other. Miller would be in charge to kill Cedric while Vincent would be targeting Virginia.
