" Boss they are thoroughly scanning the guest and the persons who made the reservation! " We have to present a lot of credentials to able to make a reservations" " Why? Did the resort elevated it's status as in five stars in hotels? " Ironically he sounded glad. " No boss they are just too much concern about security . Maybe it is much better to Abort the plans." His men made assumptions and suggestions but he won't hear of it he was determined to carry out the plan of taking over and get Lukas in his mercy. "Abort the plans! Are you out of your mind? Do you know how long and how much I have endured just to arrive this close to what I wanted all along?"

"Where am I" Leonie wondered where she is, then memories came flooding in. She recalled coming to her boyfriend's apartment for a surprise. But in return she is the one who is the one surprised and hurt when she caught her niece Jane and her boyfriend doing it in his apartment. How she ever fell for that man is still baffled her. Jane how was she able to do it to her, as far as she she knows she was held captive as what she was told by Rafa and out of the goodness of her heart she treated her as a friend despite her intuition not to trust Jane.She introduced her to Leandro, but wait a minute for a short period of time she cannot believe that they were able to develop a relationship as intimate as that? Could it be that they already knew each other and all of this are just plain acting, but why? Leonie tried to find reasons to explain what exactly is happening? Leandro Grey he was a friend from another country they were friends online he is a plastic surgeon just like Rafa's

My men confirmed that it was indeed Leandro Amor who posed as Leandro Grey."" Oh my!!! How did Leonie encountered such a shady character?" "These people choose their victims no matter what character they are much like a con artist, they blend very well to hook them. Your cousin was just an instrument so that he can infiltrate the family.I wouldn't be surprised if he will resort to marriage just to get close to their target." "What do

"So you mean to say that all this efforts is to destroy you? But why?""I have asked my man to traced her background in a little while we will receive the result. When I heard you and Rafa's discussion earlier I got suspicion that she is connected to Leandro Amor.""Who is Leandro Amor?" Ruby is getting dizzy with this so much information.""His father is the rival of my father. He assumed his father's position just as father handed to me the running of the gang But I refused and have his

Her greeting holds a malicious undertone accompanied with her body language.That never escape Ruby's observation."You know each other? " Ruby asked."Yes! We sort of bump at each other literally."
