Harold frowned to hear it. “With a woman? What do you mean?”
Emily let out a sigh. “You know, he and the woman slept together.”
“Ah, an affair. Okay, did you show him the video?”
“I did.” She nodded.
“And?” He raised his eyebrow.
“He denied it was him. He said it was a made up video.”
Harold crossed his arms over his chest. “Did you believe him?”

It was symbolic as they already knew the leader’s replacement, starting from Jacob’s failed wedding day.The Ames family (Al’s cousins and uncles) sat at a different table.

His body was less tense than before. “I’ll tell you the last reason I selected him.”Some leaders stared at Arturo.

Both of them sat in the living room of the Gold Cleaner’s headquarters with a glass of wine for each of them.“Have you found anything about Emily?” Jacob asked as Al was the one in charge to find news about Emily.“Nothing,” the younger man said. “It’s as if she vanished into the air. It’s weird that I already sent our men to nearby cities and towns. None of them reports anything yet.”Jacob blew his breath and shook his head. “Where is she …?”“Bro, you can find someone else. I know you don’t need more money.”“You know me better,” Jacob said

“I’m curious about something.” Al stared at Jacob.“Hmm?”“How could you build your business from scratch? I mean you told me you got a loan from Amy to pay the ransom. It means you didn’t have money to start your business, right?”“Right.” Jacob nodded and leaned his back on the couch again. “It’s like a dream when I think about it now.” He closed his eyes. “I thought all’s gone when my father died ….”“Sorry, Bro. No need to tell me if it’s too hurtful.”Sighing, Jacob shook his head. “It’s okay. I told your old man years ago before I joined the Gold Cleaner, you know.”

Both of them were quiet for a while because they thought about Arturo and his love for his late wife. Then Al let out a long sigh.“What?” Jacob asked.“I don’t want to be like my old man, you know.”“Why?”“Too serious with a woman, even after she died.” Al shook his head as he remembered his late mother. “It’s too intense. As if I would give too much power to a woman for the rest of my life, even after her death.”“But you see your father. He’s happy with his choice.”Al shrugged. “I don’t know, maybe, but I think it’s a torture to love someone so deep, to be hurt so

Maybe you want to enjoy your time alone first.”But then Emily shook her head. “No.” She held both of his hands. “I want to make you the happiest man, Jacob.
