THE young woman walked slowly as they approached the library that served as Edwin's office. She noticed James staring at her as he stood guarding the entrance. His eyes widened when he recognized her. Jennifer was expecting that reaction because she didn’t tell him about her plan. She knew he would be against it.

"Get inside." Dino commanded the woman again before turning to James and smirking. He could clearly see the shock on his face when he recognized the woman with him.

Jenny simply motioned to him. She gave him an assurance that she would not fail. And that everything will be fine.

"Happy birthday, Boss." Dino greeted his boss when they entered the room.

All eyes of Edwin's companions were focused on the newcomers, particularly on the woman who grabbed attention with her beautiful and curvy body.

"Who is with you?" the man asked after glancing at the woman head-to-toes.

"My gift to you, Boss. Hope you like it." Dino said confidently.

James secretly clenched his fist in anger as

    AMBER was restless because she didn't know why she became anxious. When her phone rang, she was surprised and answered quickly. "Hello?""Amber…""Dalia?" she called her friend's name questioningly. She felt suddenly nervous because of Dalia's worried voice. She was also using a different number, so she wasn't sure if she was the caller."It's me." Dalia answered in a low voice."Why are you calling at this hour?""I would like to ask you something." Dalia said seriously."Hey, are you crying? Is there a problem?" She asked worriedly."Please, listen to me." Dalia pleaded urgently."Dalia—" what she was about to say was cut off when her friend spoke again."Listen Amber, please protect Jenny.""Wait. Are you entrusting me with your daughter? Where are you going?" Amber felt a mixture of confusion and worry at this time."Promise me first." Dalia pleaded, seemingly impatient."You know your daughter is precious to me.""Good, I'm sure she'll be safe…""Wait!" she interrupted Dalia. "Wh

    "YOU have the same name as the woman who stole a kiss from me, but actually doesn't know how to kiss." Yazed sarcastically reminded the woman."Hey—" she pointed at the grinning man, but she stopped when she noticed Edwin staring at her."Which woman are you talking about? And why did you let others get close to you? You know you already have a woman to marry and you can't ignore that." Edwin scolded his son."I think she's just a pretentious social climber and you know I have no love for that kind of woman." Yazed answered his father emotionlessly.Jenny secretly clenched her fist while Yazed watched his father approach his mother's bed."Take back what you said," she told Yazed in a low voice.He looked at the woman in front of him. "Even though you only finished high school, you are smart because you understood what I said." Yazed mockingly praised her."Yes. So don't immediately judge someone you don't know well." She rolled her eyes and boldly met his harsh gaze.Yazed changed hi

    "MOM, why do I need to wear this crap?" Jennelyn complained as her fingers fiddled with her clothes."Just bear with it, okay?" Jackie seemed to be running out of patience with her daughter's complaints.They stayed abroad for a long time, so her daughter became more liberated in her behavior and clothing.Jennelyn looked at herself in the big mirror again. She looked like an old woman in old-fashioned clothes. "This sucks!" she complained, looking like she was disgusted."Stop complaining!" Jackie was irritated with her daughter's whining. "You have to do what your father asks you to do if you don't want us to suffer forever!"Jennelyn grew up getting everything she wanted in a foreign country. She's very conscious about her fashion. But from this day on, she had to break her rule of not wearing any outdated garment. She did not understand whether she would attend a baptism or enter the convent.

    JENNY'S gaze followed Dexter's entrance along with two women. And her eyes widened when she recognized them. She quietly took the marker from the pen stand on the table and made a fake mole on her cheek."Uncle Edwin, I brought someone for you." Dexter happily greeted the man. Only he and Yazed knew that he was coming with the two."Hi, is that you, Jackie?!" Edwin approached the visitor and shook her hand."It's been a while, Edwin. How are you?" Jackie greeted him enthusiastically."I'm good! Long time no see," said Edwin as he stared at the woman with Jackie.For those who didn't know, they have known each other for a long time. People thought that they were simply business associates because of the businesses left behind by the Garcia couple. But everything about them were all lies. And they will weave another lie."Anyway, who's with you?" Edwin asked the lady."Don't you recognize her?" Jackie answered him in a sullen tone.Edwin pretended to examine the woman in front of him. "

    "MOMMY, where are we going?" nine-years-old Jenny asked her mother."We're just going to visit a relative in Leyte," Dalia replied to her daughter while busy packing. They would deliberately leave at night so that no one can see."Is that far?""Quite." She glanced at the child. "Oh, are you done with your bag?""Can I bring all my stuffed toys?"She glanced at the child's toys that almost covered the entire bed. "Just choose the ones you bring.""Why?" She asked naively."Dear, don't ask too many questions.""Why?" Jennifer asked her mother.Dalia could not answer her daughter's repeated question because of her husband's hasty entry into the room."You have to leave! Go through the basement!""What's happening?" Dalia felt frightened because of the extreme worry on her husband's face."We don't have time! Hurry up!" Daryl feared not for himself, but for his wife and daughter.Dalia carried their daughter. The girl also peeked out the window and saw some armed men outside their house.

    "Aunt Amber?" the corners of her eyes warmed when Jenny finally recognized her. Even though she was young that time and only met her once, she still remembered her.Her mother would always talk about her. Jenny also remembered that Amber was the last person her mother mentioned that she would approach for help. But because of what she discovered today, she began to wonder if her mother trusted the right person. She thought of the possibility that she was just like her husband.Jenny saw the movement of Amber’s index finger, so she knew she was awake. "Is that you? Are you my mom's best friend? And the person I hate is your husband?" Jenny asked again.Amber’s head moved and her eyes opened to see the person speaking."What did my family do for you to destroy us? I became an orphan because of your husband's wickedness! Is it money? Our wealth? You traded your friendship with my parents for that?" Jenny couldn't stop venting the anger that she had been concealing.She noticed tears in A

    "Tonight, we'll ambush the police so we can get the three prisoners." Sasha suddenly changed the subject after remembering their mission."I know, good thing I have the day off from work." A strange smile appeared on Jenny's lips. What Edwin knew was that she will be watching over her sick mother, so she won't be able to come back tonight.After eating, the two decided to go home. But Jenny made sure no one followed them. When they arrived at their hideout, Lando was still asleep, Sasha purposely gave him a sleeping pill before leaving. He also had a gag in his mouth and his body was tied tightly. Even if he woke up without anyone guarding him, he wouldn't be able to escape."He'll be awake tomorrow morning, so we can leave."Jenny nodded to her friend and prepared the weapons they were going to bring.Before the appointed time, Sasha and Jenny were already there on the road where they planned to ambush the vehicle the criminals were riding.

    Dino glared at James when he came with blood on his clothes. He was definitely bragging again because he did the job alone. According to him, he paid a police to conspire with, so the job became easier."Good job! You can be counted on for this job and I hope you don't end up like Lando!" Edwin’s face was grim as he remembered the man."Thank you, boss! This is proof that they are dead and I buried them in a deep pit." James proudly dropped the bloody clothes in front of the old man."Those clothes aren't enough to say you killed them." Dino clicked his tongue.James turned to Dino with his teeth gritted. "If you are dissatisfied with my work, go to where I buried them and dig!""You dig up and bring their heads here, don't pass the job to me!" Dino sneered at James."Stop it, Dino! You've been babbling when you didn't even help!" Edwin yelled at the man. He didn't have time for their fights because he had a lot of plans in mind. What mattered to him was that his problems had been redu

    Jackie and Edwin were quickly picked up by the police. Jennelyn was also with them, even though they said that she had nothing to do with the crime."Jenny, forgive your cousin. I won't ask for forgiveness as long as you forgive her." Jackie pleaded with her niece when they met in court."What you did with your lover is unforgivable! You have no heart and you even used your daughter to get wealth that doesn't belong to you!" Jenny scolded her aunt.Jackie bowed her head and could not meet her eyes burning with anger. She shed tears for her daughter. She never dreamed of going to jail, especially her daughter. She looked at Edwin, his shoulders slumped, and couldn't look at Jenny either. Today the sentence will be imposed in their case."Daddy, I don't want to go to jail!" Jennelyn cried to her father. She was the only one who got bail when the police caught them. But her parents did not have bail because their case was serious.Edwin didn't know what to say to his daughter. All three o

    "Why are you looking like that?" Edwin asked Yazed.Yazed didn't waver, he stared at the man he thought was his father. If he hadn't been thinking about Dexter's plan, he might have grabbed him and punched him. All his life, he had only seen him treat his mother badly. He rarely stayed with them in Italy and he never felt loved by him. Work was more important to him and he always had the final say.NK"I'll do what you want, but give me a few days. I need to teach Jenny first so she can handle the company well."Edwin smiled and patted Yazed on the back. "Good, that's a good idea. I'll give you three days to teach her."After his father left, Yazed's eyes sharpened again. He called his secretary and asked him to fetch Jenny. He will now play his part and be with the impostor and the criminal. He promised to make them pay dearly at the right time.....The mother-and-daughter entered the conference room in a refined manner, everyone was there even Yazed and his foster father.There was

    JENNY knew that her cousin and her mother were not in their mansion, so she decided to go back to get the thing she needed to get there. She didn't say goodbye to Sasha and Dexter because she wouldn't be allowed to leave alone.She went through the back part of the mansion. There was a tree over there and it was easy for her to climb until she can move to a high fence. Before jumping in, she looked around to see if there was a guard around. It was late at night, so she was sure that the three servants and the guard at the gate were already asleep. She tied the rope tightly to the tree and used that to slide down the fence.Jenny had no trouble entering the door from the kitchen even though it was still locked. She was able to open it noiselessly using the thing she brought to open the door. She walked on tiptoe until she reached her parents' old room.Jenny clenched her fist when she saw her aunt's face in the picture frame hanging on the wall. She really claimed their house and even

    "WATCH Yazed's every move. Find out who he talks to, especially on his mobile phone." Edwin ordered one of his subordinates."Yes, Boss!" Robert nodded to Edwin. He had been in the group for a long time and he was happy because their leader had given him a good role at work now."Don't imitate the sloppiness that others have done!" Edwin instructed the man.Dino clenched his hands and pretended not to hear. He knew that Edwin was referring to him. He blamed it all on James. Ever since he arrived, all he had had in life had been bad luck. He promised himself that he would do everything to prove his bad suspicion of James' true identity.Even without Edwin's order, Dino secretly followed James. He knew his senses were strong, so he was extremely careful not to be noticed by him following his every move.Yazed argued with his father again when he insisted that he get a personal bodyguard. He said he was afraid that he too would be harmed by the syndicate."As long as you are in the posit

    IN Edwin's anger because Dino failed to do his job again, he shot one of his colleagues who had previously been shot in the arm."You do nothing but fail!" Edwin's eyes glared and he pointed a gun at Dino's head."Bo-Boss, have mercy! Give me one more chance. I'm sure there's a traitor in this group because they know our every move!"Edwin violently lowered his hand. "I'm giving you one last chance, Dino! If you fail next time, you know what to expect!"Dino's nervousness decreased. Somehow, he was relieved because Edwin had turned his back. He looked around and looked for the person he was suspecting. He couldn't see him, so his hunch grew stronger that he was the traitor."Isn't James here yet?" Edwin asked one of his subordinate."Not yet, Boss. He left almost at the same time Dino left.""Boss, I really doubt that man." Dino bravely voiced what was on his mind."Are you saying he's the traitor you're talking about?" Edwin snorted."Think about it, Boss. Since we found that man, th

    "Don't bother with them because they are bad people."Startled, Dexter looked at the person who spoke. He was in the doorway, hands in the pockets of his trouser. "You?!"James continued to enter inside. He made sure earlier that no one followed the two, so he got in a little later. He approached Lando and removed the gag from his mouth."But why did you take them captive if they were bad people?""They kidnapped us so help us, Sir Dexter." Lando pleaded childishly."Moron!" James hit Lando. "What are you, rich to be kidnapped?"Even though the mouths of the other three captives were covered, they were obviously laughing because of James' joke."Who are you really and why are you helping me?" Dexter was still confused.Instead of James answering his question, he noticed the blood stain on his clothes. He was about to ask when he heard Sasha's scream.The two of them ran into the room and took a look at what was happening there."Take it easy, Sis. It's not my fault that I got hit by a

    "I can't contact her." Dexter sighed loudly after hanging up."How did you get her number?" Yazed asked his friend doubtfully. He only got Kailani's number the other day, but it looked like Dexter had been in contact with the woman for a long time."I didn't tell you when she talked to me. What she said was not detailed, but she mentioned that she knew something about what really happened to the Garcia family.""Why does she know something and why did she involve my mom?" Yazed was still angry and confused about Kailani's true identity."I can't answer you but I only know one thing, the crossing of your paths was planned and she entered your family. Let's wait for her call if she needs money.""Does she have other reasons why she is doing this, besides money?" Yazed knitted his brows.Dexter didn't know what to say to him. Kailani seemed to have something to do with what happened to him this past week as well. He couldn't tell his friend about his hunch because he was still too mad at

    IN the middle of the night, Jennifer peeked into the living room. She sensed if anyone was still awake at that time. It was one a.m. so the maids were probably sleeping well. She slowly approached Jennelyn's room to see if she was still awake. Next was Edwin's room. She walked in tiptoes so as not to create noise."Buddy, get us a drink first to relieve sleepiness." The guard ordered his companion. Only the two of them were awake every night to keep watch of the mansion.James waited for the other to leave before cautiously approaching the man left behind. He was wearing black clothes and only his eyes were visible so he could not be recognized even if he was seen on the surveillance camera."Uhmm!"The man fought and tried to break free from James' stranglehold on him, but the latter was stronger. He also immediately covered his nose and mouth with the handkerchief with sleeping medicine.After making sure that the man was asleep, James made him sit up. He looked like he fell asleep

    WHEN Jenny entered the mansion, she was suddenly nervous. Yazed's car was not in the garage. That meant he left his mother in the care of her impostor. She rushed inside and went straight to Amber's room."Shit! What are you doing?" She walked towards Jennelyn with big steps and grabbed the syringe from her.Jennelyn trembled in fear because she was surprised by Kailani's sudden appearance. She was obviously guilty of a crime. But she was relieved because she was the only one who saw what she did. She became bold and she faced the woman."You! Don't you know how to knock, huh? And who are you to question what I'm doing?" She pointed at her with one hand on her waist."I am her nurse, so I have the right to criticize you because I am the one to blame when something bad happens to my patient!"Jennelyn flinched slightly because of how mad Kailani was. "I will report you to Godfather Edwin!" She threatened.The tip of Jennifer's lips twitched and she gave her cousin an insulting look. "T
