Lady Sophie was buried next to Master Rafael as per Madam Claudi's request. She may be astray, but she will always remained as her little girl. โMadam,โ Fabe visit Lady Sophieโs grave and saw Madam Claudia at the cemetery. โFabe? Oh, dear! Where have you been?โ Madam Claudia hugged her. Fabe answered with a smile. โIโm sorry about Sophie. Did Bryce know?โ โNo. I havenโt talk to him for a while. Well, the last time he mentioned about a womanโs name and that heโฆ.โMadam Claudia didnโt finished her words and held Fabeโs hand. โIt was nice to have you back, Fabe.โFabe suddenly felt her heart races hearing about a woman. She wanted to ask more, but she was afraid what she would find out. Instead, she approached Lady Sophieโs grave and left the flower she brought. โCali told me Sophie talked about Liamโs killer. Did she mentioned something specific? A name perhaps?โโI wish she did, but she was never given a chance to do so. She said she knows who killed him. I didnโt pay
Meanwhile, Billie found the bar where Bryce was working as a bartender. Billie was dazed seeing a woman kissing Bryce. He already sensed that she was his girlfriend. He waited for his shift to end and followed him secretly to locate his house.Billie knocked on his door. "Billie! How did you find me?" Bryce embraces him and lets him inside. "Remember the last time you called? Your phone number was registered in Thailand; of course, I have my way. How have you been? You look great."Bryce offered him some drinks, and Billie took the bottle of beer. "I am not surprised. Cheers to that," they both drink their beer, "So, what brings you here?""I...I have some assignments here. I just decided to search for you before I return to my island.""Ahhh, it's nice to see you again, my friend. I hope you can come back soon. I will show you around and treat you at the bar where I am working as a bartender.""A bartender? Are you serious?" Billie pretended, not knowing where he was working and pl
BRYCE'S POV Words left my mouth seeing her. After two years, I never thought I could see her again. Still beautiful as the day I first met her. "Bryce, are you okay?" Diana approached me, cleaning up the broken glasses. "Yeah, I~I am fine." "Oh, my God! You're bleeding!" Diana called Jeffrey, the other bartender, to cover my shift, "Come on, Bryce! We need to clean your wound." "Sure," I glanced back at Fabe. They went to the table. "Bryce?" Diana caught me and followed my eyes. โYe~Yes.โ We went back door. Diana washed my wounds, put some antibiotic cream on them, and then wrapped them with a bandage. I was thinking of Fabe. Is she really here? "Bryce? What's wrong?" "Ha? Nothing. I was justโฆtired, maybe." "Do you want to go home? I can talk to Carl." "No. I'll be fine. It's boring at home." "Okay. Don't wet your hand. I will assist you at the counter," Diana put back the first aid kit. I hurried outside and searched for Fabe in the crowd, but she wasn't there. Was, am I
FABE'S POV I was shattered. Bryce moved on and lived happily with the new woman in his life, and I am stuck in the past, with thoughts of him and my son. The moment Diana stepped inside the house and kissed him, I was crushed. He is not mine anymore. I felt like a fool dreaming of a second chance. "I'm sorry, Ava. I was about to tell you, but you wanted to see him yourself," Billie saw the disappointment on my face. "No, it was my fault. I pushed him away and left," I swallowed my tears. Billie told me that he mentioned to Bryce what I had said back in Moscow. Just like what I felt, Bryce was broken. Now I paid the price. "Is he going back to Italy?" Franco places his arm around my shoulder. "I don't know. Let's stick around," I stared at Bryce's home. It should have been our home. It should have been me living with him."What if he doesn't want to go back?" Billie asked. "Then I'll have to find the killer on my own. Let's wait for his decision," I answered and got in the truck
โHey, Ava, wait up!โ Franco followed her outside. โJust go back inside. I want to be alone,โ Fabe kept walking with no direction. โNope. You are not ditching me this time. Come on,โ Franco pulled her hand.โWhere are we going?โ โSomewhere I have search on the internet going.โFranco called a cab and told the driver to dropped them at bay walk. One of the tourist attraction in the area. He knows Fabe loves the beach. It clears her head.โWhoa! You search on it?โโYup! And it was nearby so I figured you might need to clear your head. Just imagine we are in the island with Moira. You go fishing while she sells your catch.โโThose days. It was serene.โโWant to feel the sand? The water in inviting. Come on take of your shoes!โFabe took of her shoes and buried her feet in the sand. Like she always did in the island. Feeling the heat on her skin and the smell of the sea breeze makes her forget her worries. Franco pulled her into the water. Playing with the waves. โAre you
โYou are very thoughtful, dear. Iโm sure my daughter would be happy to see you. She seldom got a friend visitor here. She spent most of her time in prison,โ Mrs. Carmela Cupolla entertained Cali. She showed him their family album and enjoyed his company.Shortly, Gemma arrived from work. She was surprised to see her mom talking to a stranger in their home. Cali immediately hugged her and whispered to her ear. โPlay along if you know what I mean,โ Cali acted like a friend who havenโt see Gemma for a while. Gemma played along and thanked her mother for entertaining her friend. โMom, itโs past your bedtime. You better go upstairs. Iโll take care of my friend,โ Gemma sais nervously and led her to the stairs.When Carmela was upstairs, Gemma went back to the living room where Cali was sitting on the couch, waiting for her patiently.โWho are you? And what so you want from us?โ โCorrection, I only need something from you. But if you still refuse, I will be force to include your mom
The bar was easy to find. The address Fabe gave was clear and precise. Cali arrived in Thailand without informing Fabe. He wanted to see Bryce first before meeting his sister. He watched Bryce from his table and noticed the woman who took his order was extra clingy to him. In his mind, she must be his girlfriend. She was exactly what Fabe describes.When she returned with his drink, Cali read her name plate and thanked her. It took him a few minutes before Bryce noticed him. โCali!โ Bryce hugged him, โWhen did you arrived?โ โFew minutes ago. Fabe doesnโt know yet, but I texted her.โโOh, how did you find this place?โ Bryce joined him on the table.โFabe mentioned the address. It was easy to locate this place, and Iโm kind of thirsty, so I decided to came. Nice bar.โBryce nodded and asked about his mother. Cali assures him that Madam Claudia was in good condition and visit her oftentimes. He also mentioned what had happened to Lady Sophie. โIs there a big chance that we co
FABEโS POVWe went sailing. Carl borrowed his friendโs boat and lend it to us. He had given Bryce a day off with Diana to tour us around and enjoy their place before preparing their barโs anniversary. My goal was to avoid seeing Bryce and Diana together, but for the sake of my friends to have fun, I have no choice but to dwell with it. I couldnโt be selfish and let them rot in the apartment and get bored. I could still swallow my pride. Thailand has beautiful beaches. I remembered Maldives and the Caribbean. They were magnificent and Iโm glad I visit the country. Bryce ambled us to an island. It was one of the tourist destination here. Many yacht stopped by here to experienced the island delicacies or buy seafood, one thing I missed living in an island.โHey, Ava, want to go fishing? They have boats and nets here. We can borrow them,โ Franco was thrilled to explore the water. He knows I loved it too. โWill they allow us?โ I turned to Bryce for an answer, who has no idea, but
โItโs a boy!โ the doctor announced their babyโs gender. Stephen was so happy to witness his babyโs first ultrasound. Listening to his heartbeat was a music to his ears. He was crying the whole time. โThank you, for giving me a reason to live, and be better,โ Stephen kissed Georginaโs forehead. โWhen I give birth, would you be here?โ Georgina held his hand. โOf course. Everyday,โ Stephen palmed her cheek.โThank you."Stephen called Massimo as promised to inform him about the gender of his baby. Like them, he was ecstatic, and delighted to know it was a boy. โDad, will you disowned me of I tell you that I still love Georgina?โ Stephen asked, turning the speaker on. Georgina was shocked to hear that from Stephen. Fabe squeeze her hand, โYou are part of this family after all.โ โSon, I know you love her. You canโt lie to me. I know all of you. Go ahead, but this wonโt be easy, son. The long distance.โ โI think I could wait, dad. That is if Iโm still alive. Our only hope is the paro
"You're pregnant?" "Yes, with Stephen," Georgina took a seat, "I was supposed to tell her after the press conference, but this happened." "I'm sorry. I couldn't do anything for you. Riโฆ.โ "Ri?" Fabe cut in. "Ri, Irene, or Eerie. She is one. I called her Ri. My sister from another mother. Torelli married another woman after my mother died." Georgina shared her story with Fabe. Since they discovered her real identity, she has no reason to hide anymore. Irene had loved Bryce since they were a kid. When Torelli left to pursue his mafia business, Georgina and Irene were adopted. But they knew they were sisters and still communicated with each other. When Irene moved to London, she constantly discussed marrying Bryce after college. But then he married Fabe. It broke her heart, and she vowed to get him back. When Fabe left, she was the happiest to be with Bryce again. But she knew he loved her and was obsessed with Nova. Irene found out that Bryce was in love with Nova, who was also
Eerie saw the news. Georgina was arrested and detained in jail. Alessandra Dorso accused her of killing Gemma and Sophie Hamilton. "Dad, we need to help Georgina. Send her a lawyer or bust her out!" Eerie called him, demanding immediate action for her sister. "I did. They are also searching for you. That woman you commissioned to kill Nova failed. She killed their friend! What were you thinking? If you want things to be done, do it yourself!" Torelli snapped. "They can't find me. Moira doesn't know where I am, and Georgina won't talk. So I need you to help her and get out of that prison!" "I am doing my best okay? Massimo had ordered a thorough search for our family. They know who you are now." Eerie paused a little. "How?" "The investigator, Jim. He left a file containing all the information about you and Georgina, including your birth certificate. At least, that's what the lawyer told me. They have strong evidence against you and your sister." "Then bust her out of pris
The guard restrained Georgina and dragged her out. "Hey, let go of me! Stephen!" Stephen stopped, listening to her. "What is happening? Stephen!" Georgina shouted, fighting back. The guards are forced to handcuff her to ensure she won't escape. They took her to the waiting room while waiting for the police. The reporters filmed everything. It escalated and made the headlines after an hour. Everyone wanted answers. Massimo called Stephen. He was in his office hiding, crying. "Dad," Stephen sobbed. "I know, son. Your siblings will be there. Calm down, okay?" "What did you find out?" "Georgina is Irene's older sister. Irene and Georgina is Torelli's daughter. Irene and Eerie are one person, and she was the one who killed our Liam." His secretary knocked on the door and informed him that the police had arrived. Stephen nodded and ended the call. He told the guards to show them, Georgina. "Don't let her out. My lawyer is on the way. He's working on the arrest warrant," Stephen h
Alessandra was referring to the woman in the television. The announcement started, and Georgina was focused on the screen. She was introduced to the public as Stephenโs fiancรฉ. Gerard took the remote control, and paused the recording on the tv. โHer?โ Fabe and Bryce point their hand on Georginaโs face.โYes, her. Georgina Stanford. Gemma found out her name when she was on the news as the acting CEO of Donovan Corporation.โโIs she positive that it was her?โ Massimo said, almost choke his own words.โYes. You can see her video recording ones my phone turns on.โโOh, God.โGerard return to the computer, and Sanderโs app flashes on the screen. He click it, and saw what he was busy doing running in the background. โAh, you have to seeโฆ.โโWe have a matched!โ Sander prompted.Gerard showed Cali the match. Thereโs a video of his past recordings in his house where someone broke in, and left a brown envelope. Another video was when Stephen and Georgina visit last night. The mat
โWho is that, Cali?โ Stephen was stunned by his reaction. โItโs Alden. Heโs coming back to Italy,โ Cali lied.โStephen and Georgina are with you?โ Jonathan asked, confirming the voices he heard. โYes, Alden. Iโll pick you up at the airport.โJonathan ended the call. Cali pretended that the call was still ongoing, and talk sweetly. He then ended the call with an endearment. He saw Massimoโs eyes rolled hearing the I love you word coming of his mouth. โDad, whether you like it or not, his going to be my fiancรฉ soon,โ Cali said, annoyed by his fatherโs reaction. โI didnโt say anything bad, and yes, I accept your new self, but getting married? Please, Cali, Iโm old. Donโt give a heart attack.โโWhatever, dad.โGeorgina excuse herself to go home early. She wanted to relax herself for the big announcement tomorrow. Stephen also excuse himself to drive Georgina home, and remind them all for the event. โCali, who called you?โ Fabe confronted him. It wasnโt Alden thatโs for sur
โWhat! How? Who took her?โ Billie lifted a shoulder. โHow did they know? Alessandraโs identity is classified, and the only person who knows about her is Jonathan, and us!โ โCan you ask Jonathan if he mentioned it to anyone?โ Bryce inspect the pocket of the dead man on the floor. โHe wonโt do that Iโm sure.โBryce showed the identification card to Fabe. Itโs not Italian. He was from Russia, all of them.โTell the maids to call the police. I donโt want to stay here, and deal with this,โ Fabe told Franco. Franco went back upstairs, and instructed the maids to call the police and report the kidnapping. The maids run together downstairs. Franco started to the door when he heard a noise to the other room. He draw out his gun, and slowly entered the room. It came from the walk-in closet. Franco kick the door, and held up his gun. โHoly crap! Moira, what are you doing in here? I almost killed you!โ Franco breathe out roughly, shaking himself. โSorry, I was searching for evid
Alessandra replayed Gemmaโs video. It was taken the day before she died. She was crying as if Gemma already knew her death was coming. They were best friends since high school. Gemma was the only child, and so was Alessandra. Gemma defended Alessandra from the bullies in school. Since then, they were inseparable. Alessandra recalled the time she last saw her best friend alive. There were loud knocks on the door that night. Alessandra was getting ready for bed, and heard it. Her maid informed that it was Gemma. She was restless. Alessandra led her in her room. Gemma was crying, pacing around. โGigi, will you please calm down. Iโm getting dizzy watching you. Whatโs the problem?โ โSasa, I need to tell you something, and I want you to record me with your phone,โ Gemma took her phone beside the table of her bed, and had it over to her.โHold on, why would I do that?โ โJust do as I say!โ Gemma yelled.โFine,โ Alessandra started the video recording.Gemma cited her name fi
โOh, my God,โ Cali gasps, opening his messages, and viewed the womanโs picture with her name, โWe got her.โโWho?โ โThe woman who sent those rocks,โ Cali showed Fabe the message. She check the picture. It was the same as the scanner. Her face was zoomed in that clearly showed her face, and her name, Alessandra Dorso.โWho send this to you?โ Cali checked the number. It was new. โI donโt know.โโIt doesnโt matter. Now we know what she looked like. Cali send this to us all.โโCopy that,โ Cali sent the picture to the group. โHow are we going to find her?โ Moira was bothered how to find a woman overnight in that big city.Cali shrugged, facing her, and started to his room, when the number who sent the picture called him. โHello? Who is this? And how did you get that picture?โ โIโm sure you know how.โโJonathan? Good riddance! How did you found about that woman?โ โWhat?โ Fabe gestured Cali to pass her the phone, โJonathan? Where are you? We need to talk.โJonathan didnโ
