"Can you please tell me where Edgar is now?" asked Elissa hesitantly. She now approached Araf, who was getting ready to leave.After calming down, Cassie and Ami suggested that Lissa, where Edgar worked. Although many people recognized Elissa because of the incident, Elissa had no choice. Right now, in her mind, she was only worried about her husband. Unfortunately, the man was blunt when she met Edgar's best friend, Araf.Araf crossed his arms. He looked sarcastically at Elissa. "Why are you looking for him? Do you want to trample on his pride again?" Araf shouted.Elissa was silent. She couldn't argue with what Araf said. But she couldn't go on like this either. "I admit that I have gone too far.""Oh, you just realized it now? Too late," Araf scolded. He then turned around and returned to organizing his belongings."Please ...."Araf hissed. "I won't let you see him again. It's enough for him to suffer," she said."Raf, please don't be childish like this.""Childish? Which one of
Edgar glanced around. He had secretly dialled the Lebanese police's 999 emergency number before going out. He didn't say much, but if they heard a scream or the sound of a gun, they would know that Edgar was in trouble. He had also pressed the mute button, ensuring that all the criminals here had no idea Edgar had called the police. All that was left was to buy time for the police to arrive.Edgar looked at his enemy. The tips of his eyes began calculating the distance between himself and the enemies. He needed a shield from the gunfire. There were three enemies here. Each was holding a revolver. If Edgar's guess was correct, eight bullets were in their guns. Eight bullets times three firearms meant 24 shots ready to fly and penetLissae Edgar's body.Edgar swallowed. His enemies had yet to attack. That meant they wanted to capture Edgar alive. But Edgar also didn't dismiss the assumption that they wanted to kill him."What you want?" said Edgar as he prepared his attack. He deliberate
Elissa returned after looking at all the corpses. She didn't speak a single word. Her gaze was blank. Her steps were unsteady. It was like she didn't have the energy even to continue her footsteps."Lissa?" called Cassie softly.Elissa kept walking past her friends. She didn't look back at Cassie. Her gaze continued to stare ahead."Lissa?" Ami also called out.But still, Elissa didn't turn around. She continued to walk towards the car that she had been driving. It's just that her steps this time looked weaker. And suddenly, Elissa collapsed."Elissa!" Ami and Cassie shouted simultaneously. They immediately ran over to their unconscious friend.Araf, who saw that, was confused. He immediately broke through the barricade, trying to see the bodies starting to be covered again. His heart became very restless. Araf reminded Edgar. Araf will always remember how Edgar gave him a chance to become a better person."Edgar!" Araf shouted when the police detained him. He didn't have time to see
"So why did you faint?" asked Cassie as she handed Elissa a biscuit.Elissa swallowed. "I saw the messages on the corpses, Cas. One of the corpses had an equals sign written on it. I remember that Fritz used to make the same mark on his victims. A man approached me, and Fritz scratched an equal sign on his arm. The wound meant the person he targeted would have the same fate." She put down the biscuits that Cassie had given her. She didn't want to eat anything at all."Eat up; you need energy to find Edgar!" Cassie coaxed.Elissa sighed. She also took back the wheat biscuits."Are there any clues?"Elissa was silent while Cassie shook her head. "The position tracked by Ami has stopped. But when the police traced it, only a cell phone was beside the road. It seems like Fritz is brilliant and knows what he has to research," Cassie explained.Elissa was lost in thought. She picked up her cell phone. She looked at the photo of Edgar that she had taken on a whim. A few nights ago, when Edga
Desmond arrived in Lebanon. Without waiting, he went straight to the hotel where Elissa was staying. His body was tired, but his heart was even more troubled. He could neither sleep nor eat. His mind was on his son-in-law.Edgar Zealand. He was not his son. He was his friend's son. And for Desmond, Edgar's Father is a friend who once struggled to build a business from scLissach. He couldn't imagine how hard it was for them to pioneer the palm oil business and fight all the opponents.Desmond still remembered well when he fell and had no money at all. At that time, his father, Edgar, was willing to share half of his wealth to help Desmond. And that was the starting point for him to become a billionaire today.But Desmond never thought that his best friend would go bankrupt due to being cheated. They parted ways when Desmond was forced to move to London to start a new business. And only in recent months could he find Edgar's father. But not alive, but dead.At that moment, Desmond clenc
"Where is this, Raf?" asked Ami when she realized they were nowhere."God damn, my phone is low bath," Cassie sighed."My phone, too," Ami replied.Araf was silent. He slowed down the car as he continued to look for road signs."Let's just go back before ...."And before Cassie could finish her sentence, their car tire exploded. Araf immediately balanced his swerving car. He also pulled the car over."I was just about to say something; it happened first!" Cassie roared when she got out and realized that one of the car tires had been blown out."Relax, there's still a spare tire," said Araf.He looked down at the column of the car. But not long after, he stood back up and just grinned."Why, hurry up, it's cold outside," Ami protested, hugging herself."There's no spare tire," Araf chuckled."What?" screamed Ami and Cassie simultaneously.*** Elissa was silent, looking at Edgar, who was now completely weak. His eyes were closed. In the past, Elissa had once thought of throwing Edgar o
"Can I go?" said Edgar. A smile blossomed on his face. A very peaceful smile."Where?" asked Elissa."To a place where people truly love me," Edgar replied.Edgar began to walk. Elissa was about to intervene. She wanted to grab her husband's hand but failed."Honey! Wait!" she shouted.Edgar looked back. "Now you can live as you wish, Lissa. Life is too hard to force love. I will go to where my parents are. They must have waited too long for me there. And I think there is only love for me there," Edgar said. He widened his smile once more and then took another step."No! Honey, don't go! Honey, I love you!"But she was too late. Before Edgar could hear Elissa's words, he was already far away, climbing the stairs that led to the sky. There, Elissa could see two silhouettes of a man and a woman. They waved, and then, as soon as Edgar got there, they embraced.For a moment, Edgar turned to Elissa. He smiled and nodded, and a heart-wrenching whisper reached Elissa's ears."Goodbye!" said
Elissa was still burying her lips. Her heart trembled violently with a very soothing quake. Elissa still kissed Edgar. She hoped that her husband would wake up soon. One teardrop flowed down Elissa's cheek. The tears dripped down Edgar's cheeks.Elissa raised her head. She looked at Edgar and then kissed the man's cheek. Edgar was still silent. He did not move an inch even though the ends of Elissa's hair caressed his face."Wake up, Honey!" said Elissa.Her hand also caressed Edgar's face. She observed Edgar's handsome face, which was utterly calm. The stern and soothing look always made Elissa angry, but now it continues to make Elissa miss.Edgar was still closed. The patient monitor showed that Edgar's condition was stable. There was no indication of a decline in condition. But he also did not show any improvement. Edgar remained as still as the dead.Elissa sat up. She wiped her tears and then exhaled. She had been here for almost three days. She controlled all her business from
