"I'm really sick of you guys! Do you think I'm stupid? If you want to kill each other, do it!" Orella said angrily again and left the maze.

She was really upset and tired of today's events, especially the part where her father was defending Miranda. Then came Mario, who also pointed his gun at Dante.

"Two annoying brothers," Orella snapped as she started her car.

Once she was outside the house, Orella increased the speed of her car. She continued to drive her car and still hadn't considered where she should go.

Not long after, her cell phone vibrated. She stopped her car and opened the message. Orella read the message, then got back in the car and headed for a cafe—where the cafe belonged.

"Why did that happen?" Orella asked a woman after she arrived at the cafe.

"I don't know. Orella, will you allow me to leave for a few days? I need to take care of my mother until she recovers," the woman replied.

"Go take care of your mother. If you need anything, you can tell me," Orella re

    "Why are you doing all this to me? Tell me why right now!" Orella said as she stared at the masked man in front of her. Now she could clearly see the man who had been helping her to destroy Dante. She also recalled the incident last night when she saved the masked man. "Why the silence? Do you think I can't remove the mask you've been using to deceive me, Dante Laurenzo Ludovic?" Orella asked the man in front of her again. Orella stared intently at the man in front of her. She stood even though Dante was now very close to her. "You want to know the purpose of me doing all this to you?" Dante asked Orella in a cold tone. "Yes. Just tell me! I also want to know why you killed my brother and took his belongings," Orella replied. However, Orella was surprised to hear what Silvia said over the communication channel. She continued to listen to everything her friend said. "Silvia, hang in there! I'll be right there!" Orelle said, concerned for her friend's safety. "What's wrong?" Dan

    Orella was silent as she remembered everything about Alessandro. She winced in pain as the leka on her arm ached from being pressed by Dante. "Are you crazy? It hurts to know!" snapped Orella, who was furious about what the man beside her was doing. "Tell me, do you know Alessandro?" Dante asked Orella again in a pressing tone and looked at her sharply. Orelle frowned, but she didn't understand why Dante was so curious about her relationship with Alessandro. Orella thought she wouldn't tell him about her relationship with Alessandro because Dante had lied to her so much. She picked up her vibrating cell phone and looked at the name on the screen. Orella immediately picked it up because Olivia was calling her. "Hello," Orella greeted me after she picked up the phone. She listened to Olivia's questions on the other end of the line. Olivia asked about Silvia's whereabouts because she couldn't reach her. "You take it easy. I'm with Silvia. Is there anything you want to tell her?" O

    The sound of a gun going off brought everyone to their feet. Orella thought the bullet had gone through her friend. Instead, she saw Alessandro on the ground, dead from a bullet lodged in his chest. "Silvia!" shouted Orella as she saw her friend fall unconscious. She saw Lucas picking Silvia up and carrying her back into the room. Orella ran and followed them into the room. Not long after, Alex entered the room and checked on Silvia. "How is she?" asked Orella to Alex, who had just finished checking on her friend. "She's fine," Alex replied. Orella listened to Alex's explanations of what Silvia could and couldn't do while looking at her friend, who was still unconscious. She went over to Silvia and sat beside her. She held her friend's hand. She really felt guilty for not being able to protect her. "Orella," Silvia called after she opened her eyes. "Don't be like this again," Orella continued. "Can we get out of here?" Silvia asked her best friend in a weak tone. Before Orel

    'I knew he was hiding something big from me,' Orella said to herself as she kept her ears perked up to hear Dante's answer. "Eavesdropping can cost you your life!" said Dante, who saw Orella overhearing his conversation with Lucas. "Who's eavesdropping anyway?" Orella replied and picked up her cell phone from the nightstand. After that, she left the room. She went straight to Silvia's room to see how her friend was doing. "How are you?" Orella asked after entering her friend's room. "A little better. I want to go back home," Silvia replied with a smile. Orella sat next to Silvia and told her that Olivia had called her yesterday. She relayed everything Olivia had said to her. "Now, are you sure you're going to come back home under these circumstances?" Orella asked after she had explained everything to her friend. Orella looked at her friend, who hadn't answered her question. She was sure that her friend was thinking about her next move. "We should still leave this house. I fe

    "Tell me quickly! What happened?" Orella asked Lucas again. "Just tell me!" Dante ordered Lucas. Orella saw Lucas nod, and the man began to tell her what happened to the Vedetta family. She listened intently. "It can't be helped! Is my father crazy to make trouble with my best friend's family!" Orella said after hearing everything Lucas had explained. She walked away, annoyed that her father couldn't be helped. Her father had just sent her a message about getting married to Miranda. However, now she heard that her father was starting to look for trouble with the Vedetta family. "Let go of me!" snapped Orella as someone grabbed her hand. "Calm yourself! I'll have Lucas sort it out. Now you stay at home and don't go out!" Dante said firmly. "I can't calm down! My father caused the problem, and I have to solve it. I hope you don't get in my way!" Orella snapped. Orella was surprised when Dante grabbed her hand and led her into the room. She was getting annoyed with Dante's attitu

    Orella couldn't stop her father from killing Miranda. After everything that happened in front of her eyes, she was just silent. While watching her father kill without blinking an eye, she smirked. "It's over," Orella said. Then she turned her body around and walked away from her father. She was about to get back into the car but stopped when she heard her father calling her name. It wasn't long before she saw her father in front of her. "Aren't you going to forgive me?" the father asked his daughter. Orella still needed to answer her father's question. She looked at her father. She didn't know whether she could forgive him or not because she still felt disappointed with what her father had said about her late mother. Her father had caused trouble in the Vedetta family. "Apologize to the Vedetta family. Do something nice for them for the mistake you made today," Orella replied to the father in front of her. After saying that, Orella walks past her father. She ignored her father c

    "What's wrong with you? Didn't I agree to what you wanted?" Orella asked Dante. "I'm just making sure again that you don't get too close to Mario," Dante replied firmly. "Yeah. I'll keep that in mind," Orella replied as she let go of Dante's hand. Orella heard the sound of a cell phone ringing from Dante's coat pocket. The man picked up his cell phone and held it up as he walked out of the room. Not long after, she heard someone knocking on the door. She opened the door and saw two servants standing with two suitcases. "Miss, these are all your belongings that Mr. Dante has taken," one servant said to the lady in front of her. "Bring it in! And put them there!" Orella ordered the servant as she opened the door to her room. "Do you need our help to organize it?" The servant asked again. Orella paused for a moment, then replied, "You can help me organize it since I'm leaving." "Okay," the servant replied respectfully and started doing what she had to do. Orella picked up her c

    "Wait, you know who I am?" asked Orella after she got over her surprise at the man in front of her. Orella frowned as the man chuckled. However, she remained calm. Her hand began to move behind her to retrieve the weapon slowly. "Of course, I know. You're Juan's girlfriend, right?" the man replied confidently. Orella smiled at the man's answer and said, "Then let me take out Juan's killer." "I'll give you Juan's killer after you give me the necklace that he always wore," the man said. Orella remembered the necklace, which was currently still in Dante's hands. She'd forgotten about the item she'd taken because of the trouble her father had made. "I'll give it to you," Orella replied as she picked up an almost identical necklace. She was sure the man wouldn't know it was a fake. "Fool, if you give it to him, you'll be an accomplice to Juan's murder!" shouted Dante. "So which one of you two killed Juan?" shouted Orella, who was still confused by Dante's answer because all she had

    Orella looked at her husband. She couldn't understand why he would say such a thing, but she also remembered some of the things Leticia had said. "I'll always be with you," Orella said as she stared at her husband. She was still thinking about the name of the woman Leticia had mentioned. She wondered if that woman could be who had been in Dante's heart before he met her. However, it could also be that she was Dante's enemy who wanted to destroy him. "Explain to me! Why are you saying things like that to me? Do you think I'm going to leave you?" Orella asked her husband several questions. Orella continued to stare at Dante, who was also staring at her. The man did not open his mouth, as if he didn't want or wasn't ready to explain everything to her. She sighed and said, "I'll wait until you're ready." After saying that, Orella got up and walked towards the door. She opened it and saw Diana with an unfortunate face before her. "What's wrong?" Orella asked the woman in front of he

    "Just say it, and don't beat around the bush!" Orella said back to Leticia. "Come with me!" said Leticia as she walked. Even though she didn't know where she was going, Orella followed Leticia from behind until she finally arrived at a small park inside the headquarters. Orella didn't think a small park would be inside a base like this. I don't know what Dante had in mind to make that small garden here. "I'll tell you everything," Leticia told Orella as she sat under a tree in the small garden. Orella sat beside Lecita without suspecting her in the least. She didn't say much or ask questions of the woman beside her. Leticia began to tell her everything. She explained that she didn't love Dante at all. She had been bothering Orella for the past few days to help Dante understand everything. "What about the incident at the gazebo that night?" Orella asked Leticia. Orella still couldn't believe what the woman beside her was saying. She glanced to the side because Leticia didn't an

    "Tell me what you have to say!" said Orella to Diana, sitting across from her. "It's about the mission Silvia is on," Diana replied. Orella nodded as she told Diana to continue. She listened intently to everything the woman in front of her said. "That's all I got. Now it's up to you," Diana said after explaining everything. Orella did not respond to Diana's words. She considered telling Silvia about her father's condition or keeping everything a secret until the mission was over. "I'll wait for your orders. Maybe as long as you're here, I'll stay here too," Diana said as she got up and left Orella and Dante. Orella watched Diana leave. After that, she looked at Dante, who was beside her. "Was Hugo attacking Mr. Vedetta?" Orella asked her husband beside her. "Yes," Dante replied briefly, returning to saying a few things to his wife. Orella just watched and listened to every word from her husband's lips. She clenched her fists in anger at everything Hugo had done to the people

    The room's atmosphere was chaotic. Suddenly, Orella was reminded of the attack that night that had cost her Juan. Orella screamed as she called out to Dante. She also covered her eyes and ears because she didn't want to hear everything happening before her. "Honey," someone called and made Orella open her eyes. She immediately hugged the person, who was none other than Dante. She cried in her husband's arms. She continued to cry even though she tried to stop it, but Orella couldn't even stop, even though she had heard Dante's voice. "Calm down, I'm okay. Look at me!" Dante said back to Orella while releasing his embrace. Orella looked at Dante's face. Dante picked her up and carried her out of the room. She just looked at Dante's face and finally stopped crying. "You lied to me. Why?" Orella asked her husband, who was still carrying her. Dante didn't answer Orella's question. He walked into a room. It was his room in his base in the middle of the forest. "Have you calmed down?

    "Tell me! What happened?" Orella asked her father again, who was still holding her hand and leading her out of the house. Orella was becoming increasingly curious about her father, who didn't answer any of her questions. Finally, she got into her father's car. The car left the house. During the trip, her father remained silent. Her father's silence made Orella even more curious about what had made her father like that. "Increase the speed of the car!" her father, who was also his confidant, ordered the driver. "Dad, can you explain it to me!" Orella said back to her father as she looked at him sitting beside her. "You'll find out later," the father replied without looking at his daughter. Orella finally shut up and didn't ask her father any more questions. She looked at the street she was walking on. However, she didn't remember the road she was on this time with her father. Finally, the car stopped right in a tranquil area. In front of her was a forest. She wondered if she and

    Orella looked at Hugo. She didn't show any fear at all, even though a man was pointing a gun at her. "Are you sure about your decision?" Orella asked Hugo in a calm tone. "I can also be sure you'll get back to me," Hugo replied confidently. Orella watched as Hugo signaled his men to leave. She also listened back to some of the things said by the man in front of her. "You can do whatever you want. However, you will also be destroyed if you touch my family and the people by my side!" Orella emphasized. After saying that, Orella left Hugo's house. However, there were many of the man's men. However, none of them stood in her way. Orella got into her car and started it. She increased the car's speed and headed straight for her father's house. It wasn't long before she arrived, but he wasn't home. When she arrived home, Orella asked the servant she had just met, "Where did my father go?" "It seems your father is hiding his purpose," replied the servant, who was Orella's confi

    Orella arrived at the cafe and went straight to the secret room. She saw Silvia practising her shooting there, and Diana was at her computer. "Do you have any new information?" Orella asked Diana as she sat down next to her. "There are two. What do you want, information about your ex-lover or your husband?" Diana replied with another question to Orella beside her. "Tell me about Hugo and then my husband," Orella replied. Orella was still annoyed with Dante for trusting another woman more than her. She also listened to Diana, who began explaining everything she had learned about Hugo. "What will you do about your ex-lover now?" asked Silvia, listening to Diana's explanation. "I will still give him a chance. If he doesn't take the chance, I give him. Then it's over," replied Orella calmly. Orella saw Silvia shaking her head. She reiterated to her best friend that she had no feelings for Hugo. She had buried her love and Hugo's name deep in her heart. "There's no way I'm going to

    "What are you doing here? How did you get into this house so easily?" Orella asked the man before her. "You know me well, don't you, Orella? I can easily get in anywhere I want," the man replied. Orella did not underestimate the man in front of her. However, she was afraid of the man's equally heartless nature, even if the person he was dealing with was a child or a helpless woman. "Hugo, why did you come back? Are you also the one who framed my father?" Orella asked the man in front of her while looking at him intently. The man just looked at Orella and didn't answer her question. Orella took a step back as the man approached her. "I missed you so much. Did you miss me too?" Hugo asked Orella back. "I didn't miss you at all. I've kept a tight lid on everything about you," Orella replied firmly. Orella kept her distance from Hugo while listening to everything he had to say. Even though Hugo said and proved how much love he had. However, all of that still couldn't change Orella'

    Orella was still transfixed by what was in front of her. Finally, she smiled and clapped her hands. What she did surprised the two people in front of her, and they let go of her embrace. "Is this what you wanted to show me, Dante Laurenzo Ludovic?" asked Orella in a slightly pressing tone. "Honey, don't get me wrong! I...." "Really? Do you want to show me you can get another woman?" Orella cut off Dante's words. Orella moved closer to the woman making out with her husband. She stared intently at the woman, and her eyes were full of questions. "Were you with Dante at that time?" Orella asked the woman in front of her in an interrogating tone. "If so, what would you have done?" The woman asked Orella back in a challenging tone. Orella smiled at the woman's answer, which dared to challenge her. She also glanced at her husband, who was already beside her. "Honey, this is a misunderstanding. I thought it was you," Dante explained, not wanting Orella to misunderstand him. Dante aga
