    { Mac Allister}About 4 hours left since I came across stranger who claimed to be my brother. I feel betrayed by my late dad and mum, who did not tell me this truth.

I wouldn't forgive my mum and my late dad.I needed to ask my mum some questions, so I got off of my bed and put on a Hawaiian T-shirt before exiting my room. I adjusted the rearview mirror, catching a glimpse of Bruno's reflection standing beside my car.

Bruno, my trusted confidant, stood at the ready, awaiting my command."No, Bruno, your service won't be needed right now," I informed him, my voice conveying a mix of concern and determination.

"Hello," I muttered."Mac Allister," Lorenzo's voice sneered from the other end of the line. The sound of his voice sent a surge of anger through me. How dare he intrude upon my peace?"I told you I am not sending you a dime," I snapped, my frustration palpable. "She means nothing to me."Lorenzo's reply was laced with venom, his words dripping with malice. "She escaped our grasp, but we are coming for her—and then for you."The threat hung in the air, and my anger intensified. Without another word, I abruptly ended the call, my fingers slamming down on the screen.

His playful demeanor gave way to a more serious tone."If you're here to mock me, I should go now," Tony retorted, attempting to mask his vulnerability. But I knew better."I have a proposal for you, brother," I said, sliding a paper across the table. Tony took a few moments to read through the document, his eyes widening with each passing word."You don't mean it," Tony uttered, a mix of disbelief and excitement coloring his voice.
