THAT place was not safe for Dexter, so he thought of staying at his friend Micko's pad for the time being. He told him what happened."You are the target of those people. Be grateful to your guardian angel. By the way, is she pretty?"Dexter chuckled because of his friend's question. Whenever there was a woman involved, their conversation would sidetrack."I'm just kidding," Micko retorted and his face returned to seriousness. "Are you sure Kailani Monuz is the name of the woman you and Yazed are investigating?""That's what she calls herself. Did you discover anything about her?" Dexter asked him."I went to the place where her mother lives. But no one knows her nor her mother."Dexter thought about Micko's report. "Are you saying her identity is fake?""Sort of, but based on your story, she takes good care of Yazed's mother. Even his mother only trusts and obeys her."Dexter nodded to his friend."Look at this carefully." Micko showed him a picture he got from surveillance camera.D
"Look who's having a good life. It's still your work time, but you're sitting here and eating." Jennelyn said mockingly."It's normal for a starving person, isn't it?" Jennifer answered her cousin nonchalantly."So, you're going to prioritize your stomach over Aunt Amber's health and well-being?!"Jenny didn't seem to care about what her cousin said. She just continued eating. "What for if you are there to show off your kindness in front of your fiancé?"Jennelyn folded her arms in front of the woman and did not like her talking back at her. "Don't talk to me like that! Do your work properly if you don't want to get fired!""I also need to fill my stomach so I don't get sick." Jenny calmly replied. She was in no mood right now to fight with her impostor.Jennelyn came closer and violently pulled her plate away, causing it to fly with the food in it. "If you want to work here longer, learn to obey your boss!""What is your problem?!" Jennifer stood up angrily. "Why are you taking out y
"JEN… NY…" Amber called her the moment she opened her eyes. She looked at Jenny questioningly, asking how she was."I'm fine, so don't worry." Smiling, Jenny patted her palms.A small smile formed on Amber's lips and she reciprocated by squeezing her palm. Their moment was interrupted when the door opened again. It was Yazed. She noticed that something had changed in her son's behavior, especially his coldness towards the real Jenny. He hadn't talked to her and was obviously avoiding her.Jenny was also hard on him and rolled her eyes every time their eyes met. He didn't stay there for long; it looked like he was waiting for a guest."The Attorney is coming with one of our friends, so I'll leave you here." Yazed said goodbye to his mother.Jenny rolled her eyes again when the man turned his back and left. When she turned to look at Amber, she caught her smiling and teasingly looking at her.When Dexter and Micko entered Yazed's house, he noticed one of Edwin's henchmen."What happened
"DO NOT force yourself to improve your health."Jenny suddenly stopped from entering the room when she heard Edwin's voice inside Amber's room."I won't let it happen, anyway." Edwin smirked at his wife.Jenny looked around first, when she made sure there was no one else, she put her ear to the ajar door."It's your fault that you're in that condition. If you had chosen to love me rather than that useless man, our family would be happy. Perhaps I would've accepted Yazed as my own son."Both Amber and Jenny's eyes widened at Edwin's revelation."Were you surprised? You thought I didn't know that you only married me so that your child would know someone as a father?" Edwin became grim remembering the past.Amber tried to pull her hand that Edwin grabbed, but he only gripped her tighter."But do you want to know how you ended up alone after loving him more than yourself?" He laughed. "He did not run away from responsibility as what you were told." Edwin brought his grinning face closer t
AS the wedding approaches, Yazed felt like he's suffocating. Jenny became clingy. She wanted to decide for almost everything on their wedding. He wanted a simple wedding, but it had turned grand. He was just relieved because she didn't ask why they were getting married overseas. He had a friend who lived in the U.S.A. and it was he who arranged their venue.He had already told himself to put aside his special feelings for Kailani. To leave her to the man who can fight for her and love her completely. But every time he saw her talking to James, he felt frustrated.Because of how she took care of his mother, his admiration for her grew even more. He now believed that she didn't have an affair with his father. Earlier, when he saw that Edwin was going to hurt her, he was very worried. If Jenny wasn't there, he might have hugged Kailani and let her know that he won't let his father hurt her.Yazed quickly drank the wine in the glass in his hand. He was drinking alone in his room and thin
"USELESS!" Edwin angrily hit the table when Dino informed him that he failed the mission.James smiled mockingly. "What happened? You had two people with you, but the person you're going after escaped you?"Dino glared at James. Before, he was the one who insulted his capability. But now he was in the hot seat."I want you to get rid of whoever is protecting that lawyer first!" Edwin pointed at his subordinates one by one."James seems to be right, Boss. The person who watches over the lawyer is good and smart. He suddenly appears and acts before us." Reasoned one of Dino's companions."I don't care if he's good! He's solo and there were three of you!" Edwin was furious."Boss, maybe it would be better if you continue with the plan after your son's wedding. He might even be the reason for Yazed postponing the wedding when his lawyer is injured.""James is right, Boss." For the first time, Dino agreed with James.The tip of James' lips lifted and he proudly faced Dino. He knew that he
"KAILANI, Sir Yazed wants to talk to you." A maid called the woman while holding the phone.Jenny's chest heaved when she heard the man's name. She hadn't seen him all day because he was busy in the office. They finished having dinner without him because he didn't come home yet. She wanted to sulk because he seemed to forget about her when he was with her impostor."Hey!"Jenny frowned when she heard Yazed's greeting. His voice was husky from the other line and it was quite noisy around him."Have you and Mommy eaten yet?"He still used a formal tone when talking to her. She wasn't sure about the level of their relationship now. Before she could answer him, she heard Jennelyn's voice."Yazed, the food is about to be served." Jennelyn called the man softly. He excused himself earlier to make a call. But she was upset that he distanced himself from her as if he didn't want her to know who he was talking to.Yazed turned to Jenny and signaled that he would follow. He waited for the perso
WHEN Yazed entered their house, the surroundings were quiet. It was already late at night so most of them were asleep except for one maid who was waiting for him to come home."Good evening, Sir. Shall I prepare you something to eat?" the maid politely asked the man."No need, Aunt. How is Mommy?" He asked while leaning his back against the sofa."I saw that Kailani cooked the food she wanted to eat.""How about her?""Who?" The maid asked him in confusion."Kailani, did she eat?"A small smile appeared on the lady's lips. If only Jenny wasn't in her master's life, she could tell there was a spark between the two."I ate with her earlier, but she didn't finish her food." She was only telling the truth to the man. She asked Kailani if she didn't like the food. She answered that she was still full.Yazed stood up quickly, "Go to sleep, Aunt."The maid obeyed immediately after Yazed turned his back. She watched him until he entered his mother's room before deciding to enter the room for
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
