" You mean James Alley? 'The James Alley' is actually a female writer?" Lukas emphasize the gender of the name. He was shocked when he learned that his favorite author is actually a woman. James Alley was recommended to him by one of his friend. He started reading the book and got caught up with her plots and storytelling style. It keeps his mind from dripting to that someone who he had done wrong and left him without hearing his side. "Yes she is leaving around here and noticed, if you are reading her books most of her background scenes are inspired by the veiws around here." Dexter added. "Probably why he decided to buy that house near the beach becaause he wants to experience the ambiance of what she described in some of her books." Lukas thought to himself. Dexter noticed that they have been waiting for sometime already for Ruby to come out from the washroom and asked his secretary to check. "She is not here sir," She was baffled why

" There was no need for explanation . What's done is done. You have taken advantage of me Lukas." She so he'll bent on her conviction that he had taken advantage of her before and he cannot be trusted. " Will you please hear me out Ruby!" He was struggling to calm her. " No I don't want to hear any of your lies. You beast, let me go!" She struggles to break free from the iron grip that Lukas' hold. "Is that how you see me a beast! " Lukas is angry with what she called him. "You were no different from your father.I know he was taking advantage and having his own way with your house help." She spilled out what she had observe before. " That's not true Ruby, I am not like my father, I hated everything about my father !" " Liar!!! You were pretending to be nice but deep inside you were
Ruby was full of remorse at how she had behave with Lukas. Makes her feel a cheap and spineless woman who cannot stand by her words .

Melanie had already suspected the child was the reason she went missing from the capital city,While Rafa is baffled how his cousin were able to have a child, did something happen to her all this time she was missing? But the child is very lovable and so with the puppy she is holding, so he reserved his queries for later in order not to ruin the reunion.Aunt Lola came later and was introduced to the newcomers.Aunt Lola they will be helping around here . While Melanie will be in charge of the reservations and cleaning . Rafa will be doing anything.

You can relate to me what ever you discussed and maybe I'll give him a call about it." Ruby thought that calling Lukas will be harmless she can just change her voice using those apps that allow to change the voice of the one speaking on the phone."Is there a way that you can comeback early for the dinner? Or better still invite your editor here to spend the night I think she will be delighted to stay for the night." Lolita tried to find ways for Ruby to be able to attend the dinner with Lukas."I'm sorry aunt Lola she will have to go back as soon as we finished, she had other commitments." She is hoping that her aunt will not insist more, she is find it hard to look for alibis."Okay but if ever you finish earlier you follow us, it's a shame the man had personally came to invite us but y

But to you Albert I will kill you with my bare hands if given the chance.""So you are aware of my deepest secrets.

"What are you saying that it's difficult to get in the beach resort?" Leandro angrily asked his men. "Wasn't it a place for public?" " 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?" He said displaying his scary demeanor and making gestures with his fingers that have his assistant tremble with fear. "No boss!" Scared he replied. " Then shut the fuck up! What about walk-ins?" H
When the door swung open she brought her hands down just an inch away from its target. When the intruder turn his head in her direction."What are you doing here?" Shocked she almost hit the person who would bring her to freedom."For someone who needs help. You don't show your gratitude well. Are you going to hit me with that?" Rafa look at the shoe Leonie attempted to hit him. "I am thankful alright! I was just shocked to have realized that it is not my captors before this hit you!" She said. "And do you think that will stop them or render them unconscious? " Rafa said making Leonie feel silly. "Sorry, I don't have anything else." She said apologetically "Come on let's get out of here! Before they return." Rafa led her out pulling her hands in a hurry.When they reach down stairs in the living room they were surprised to see Jane."Where do you think you are you going?" She snapped at them. "Isn't it obvious?" Rafa said. "To get away from your evil plans." "Don't make
"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
The next day after twenty four hours had past, Leonie was declared missing. Investigation was conducted by Lukas men shows that she was last seen getting into a taxi from Bruno's place. So they track down the taxi driver. He said where he had drop her off, and information came that she was seen getting in her boyfriend 's apartment but was not seen leaving."Lukas what if something has happened to Leonie?" She is worried something bad happened to her cousin and may not see her again."Let us just hope that there was nothing of that sort happened. 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 tell me Lukas what is the meaning of this?" Ruby furiously asked her husband about the video depicting Lukas molesting a woman."I'm sorry my precious! I have that video check it is authentic unlike some of the ones she showed me they are all edited. But this one I don't remember doing doing it." "What? What do you mean you don't remember? Who showed you this videos?"Lukas then explained everything about his first encounter with Jane, and the succeeding effort of Jane to destroy him. "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
Lukas was shocked to realized that the woman who framed him up is a relative of his wife. "Hello Lukas! Nice to see you again." 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." Jane said. Ruby suddenly became suspicious with Lukas being quiet as if in trance."Babe , why are you silent is there something wrong? Are you hungry or tired?" Ruby ask to take Lukas away." Daddy! " Suddenly Jade came running to her father's wide arms. The father and daughter laugh with delight as Lukas scoop her up in his arms, and swing her around As Jane looks over.
