Maria signals and Romeo, Acid, and Pluto walk in. She explains everything to them, including the life of Ken's daughter. They are silent as if in deep thought. Romeo is speechless. He can't believe an assassin will confess with just a bit of kindness from his victim. He finally breaks the awkward silence and speaks to Ken.

"Maria has already made a promise to you so we will keep it as such. You will tell us everything you know about your contractor and We will find them and rescue your daughter but whatever we do with your contractor Is none of your business. Do we have a deal?" He asks disdainfully.

" Deal" Ken responds.

"But wait, how could you trust him. What if he turns against us?" Pluto asks with concern.

"I don't think we have much choice. I know that it's risky trusting blindly but everything in life is a risk," Romeo concludes.

"I know it's difficult for you to trust me but for the life of my daughter, I will never betray you", Ken swears.

"Good. Because if you do, both you an

    "A day to our wedding, Charlotte realized her wedding gown was shredded to pieces. She called to inform me that she was on her way to pick a new gown. I told her to wait for me to join her because it was strange for someone to do that. Besides, her house was well secured because she was from a wealthy home. Since the wedding was just the next day, we didn't have time to investigate. I smelled foul play so I didn't want her to go alone but she insisted she

    The next day, Ken tells Romeo about Monalisa's constant calls which he hasn't been answering since the previous night. He knows she wants to know whether his mission has been successful. They decide to hatch and plan and Romeo tells Ken to pick her call and tell her that Maria was dead. Pluto will be tracking as they speak so Ken is supposed to delay on the phone a little for their plan to succeed. Monalisa keeps calling continuously till Ken answers the phone. Before he speaks, she starts yelling."You Moron! How dare you not pick my calls? How is the mission? She asked angrily."Mission accomplished Lisa, you better not hurt my baby girl or I'll get you after."Little, empty threats. Hmmm. I can see you got balls now ha? Well, I will applaud you for succeeding with such a deadly mission under Almighty Romeo's roof but that only makes you the best candidate for my next mission.

    In the course of planning, Romeo realizes that something doesn't add up. Their tracker locates Monalisa close but Ken's direction is different. He knows that being at the wrong location will make things worse as it will only give her a heads up of their plan and he wants nothing like that.According to Ken's explanation, Monalisa's location doesn't permit the network connection. She comes out of her hiding when she has to meet or call someone. Her strategy has made it impossible for the FBI to know her whereabouts. If you track her down somewhere, she will be gone before you get there. That way, it's difficult for anyone to hunt her down. Romeo thinks of what possibly turned Monalisa into a monster. She used to be so innocent and loving but since she eloped with that scambag, she is nothing to write home about.Romeo realizes he needs a change of plan. He thinks of a way of getting her to wherever she makes contacts but she definitely won't bring along Ken's child so the

    "I will fulfill your assignment on one condition", Ken says."You don't stand a chance to negotiate with me but, I will hear your condition anyway." She says disdainfully."Let me hug my daughter. Just once. I miss her so much. Her touch will give me the courage to complete the assignment and have her back". Ken says, trying his best to sound convincing."Hmmm. You mean, you will only hug her and deliver my mission?" Monalisa asks with relief."Why not? I will be a fool to try anything stupid. You already have this place guarded by the best assassins worldwide," He remarks, making Monalisa feel proud of herself. Having the best assassins is a compliment to her. However, in Ken's mind, no matter how he tries to sound confident, he is scared inside but he is more amazed at how Monalisa believes everything he says. He thinks she is either dumb or pretending."Okay, I'll give you two minutes", she says, putting the little girl down as she hastil

    This is the most difficult situation Romeo has ever faced. If he chooses to save Maria, he and his men die and if he chooses his men and himself, then Maria does. Both options are impossible for him. Something must be wrong with Monalisa to make her put him into such a helpless situation, he thought. Maria means everything to him though their feeling for each other is not defined. He promised to protect her. But what about his men? He owes the same obligation to them. He will rather sacrifice his life than watch both parties get hurt.He thinks of a way out of this situation. Maria, on the other hand, is battling with her guilt. The guilt of not heeding to the advice of Romeo, Acid, and Pluto. If she had heeded their advice and stayed back, things would have been easier for Romeo. To overcome her guilt, she chooses to face the consequence of her actions."Take the gun and do it, Romeo, save yourself and your men." She says boldly."Shut up Maria", this is not up fo

She is getting married to the only man she has ever loved.Romeo came a few times to speak to her the night before the wedding but she only spoke to him behind the door.

But Romeo never runs out of ways of making it more difficult for her.This morning was no exception. They heard a knock on the door and Mia went to get it, only to find a giant bouquet of fresh roses for Maria. The note read.

    Olivia woke up with confusion written all over her face. She felt the bed beneath her too hard for her comfort. She wanted to get up but felt something cold on her wrists and ankle, pulling her down. She slowly opens her eyes to see Maria sitting comfortably beside her.Gradually, everything from a couple of hours began playing in her mind. She remembers darkness covering her eyes when she saw James but why is she chained? The realization hit her that James must have pressed charges against her. She was filled with guilt and regret but above all, she felt guilty."You can ask me any question on your mind," Maria said gently, bringing her out of her thoughts. "You know, I should have been a bitch to mock you the way you did to me after setting me up, but here I am feeling all pity for you?" Maria said slowly.

    "My, my, my. Who is shedding tears now? Hmm. Loverboy Romeo couldn't save you this time? Ohh, you trust him too much," she mocked pouting. "He can't and won't give up on you right?" She paused, What happened now? Unfortunately, I heard your phone conversation. Why? Are you surprised that I tapped your line?...hahahahaha? Olivia went on and on with her mockery, not giving Maria a chance to speak, or maybe, she lacked the right words to respond to her."Just stay away from me," Maria mumbled."Yes, I will stay away from you. But not before I let you know, that I don't envy you anymore. I thought you had it all. Everyman at your beck and call." She snapped her fingers in unison. "But look at how my single little plan will send you to jail for a long time, if not for the rest of your pathetic life? Turn around, look yourself in the mirror. You look pathetic."

    So it's true. He was alive and it's his voice he heard on the phone. He should be over the moon with joy but the fact that Maria was in FBI custody because of him made him angry. He wasted no time with pleasantries."Can you tell me what happened?" He growled when James was a few meters away."I had nothing to do with it," James says, innocently, raising his hand in surrender. "I was merely a victim too," he confirmed."Tell me about everything the happened and don't leave out even the slightest detail," Romeo warned."I will tell you, but you should sit," He said. Romeo sat directly opposite to James, whiles his dad sat adjacent to James. He knew his son was still angry with him so he didn't want to anger him any further by sitting close to him. James began to speak without any hesitation.""The day we had the agreement, I paid off my immediate workers and left the business in the hands of my managers, confirming my decision to leave this country. I could still control everything from

He felt the need to speak with Maria right away but He had to take her to the station himself. He won't allow these agents to take her. He can't trust them and besides, he wants to be with her through everything."Okay. I promise to bring her to the headquarters myself," Romeo assured the FBI Agents. Under the strict regulations under which they were operating, they never would have allowed it but for Romeo's sake, they left. Romeo went back to the office and saw Maria. She was as confused as he was, but a half-smile finds it's way to her face when she sees him."How did it go, Romeo? Do I have to go with them?" She asked with fear and responsibility. She didn't want to go to jail but she also knew the right thing had to be done. She noticed when Romeo's face becomes saddened at her question.

    Maria's words kept echoing in Romeo's mind. This is the only thing he has ever wanted from her. Her love, and trust. Now that he has it, it seems like a dream. Relief washed over him like rain. He was too numb to utter a word."And just so you know, I love you so much," Maria said, kissing him softly on the forehead. When Romeo spoke, it was like ice mixed with fire. He got so emotional but Maria knew why, and she didn't mind. She knew it was time to let him know how she felt about him, especially when they were going to get married."You have no idea, what it means, hearing these words from you after you just proved your love and trust for me. I promise you, that nothing and no one, will ever come between us, and anytime, any day, I will always choose you above everyone in my life," He said embracing her.

    Laying on Romeo's bed in a pant and bra, smiling mischievously, is Olivia. Initially, Romeo thought he was dreaming. It can't be real. No one dares to come to his room except Pluto and of course, Maria. Grandma doesn't even attempt to come. It's not as if she's not allowed but it doesn't interest her to.The sight of the person grinning in front of him made his blood boil with anger. He only had a towel wrapped around his waist, and she was wearing a black thong and a black balconette bra. Her brown wavy hair was let loose, glistening her brown eyes. Anyone who comes in at this moment will read negative meaning into this.Romeo was angry in that, a thin vein appeared on his forehead. He speaks with gritted teeth."Get out!""Not after I have a piece of you," Olivia says seductively, rolling to her stomach and lifting her head to look Romeo straight in the eye. The first intention Romeo had was to drag her out but how will he explain if Maria or grandma sees h
