"The… the truth!" Franco’s lips trembled, barely letting the words slip. His mind spun in a whirlwind of confusion. He still hadn’t recovered from the shock that Muna had kissed him. Did that just happen? Or was his mind playing tricks on him?He blinked, searching her face for answers. That kiss… it wasn’t something even Elena had given him. But Muna? she’d done it freely. Genuinely.She kissed him.Franco?“Yes!” Muna beamed, eyes glinting with newfound clarity. She reached into her bag, pulling something out.Franco’s eyes followed her hand. A pair of headphones. But not just any headphones. Those headphones.The very ones he’d handed her weeks ago. The ones that held the truth—the conversation between Dyesi and Caleb. His last hope. He had pleaded with her to listen. To believe.And now, she held them in her hands.That could only mean one thing.“Yes, Franco!” she said again, smiling brighter. “I finally found out the truth. I know everything now, and I’m so sorry for not believi

Things didn’t end there.While Elena remained deep in her personal investigation to uncover the truth behind Franco’s real identity, Muna did everything she could to support him from behind the scenes. But Franco was already on the move—planning his next step with precise calculation.Before Muna left to head home that evening, she and Franco had reached a decision: for now, their reconciliation must remain a secret. No one was to know they were back on good terms.Muna had readily agreed. Keeping their bond hidden would serve their mission better. If people thought they were still at odds, it would be easier to dig into what was really going on—especially with Dyesi. If Dyesi was indeed involved in illegal business dealings, why was she still working at Scott Empire under such a high-profile name?The truth was too dangerous, too tangled—and that’s why Muna had stepped into the chaos in the first place. She wasn’t just defending Franco anymore; she was hunting for the truth that had

“What?!” Franco exclaimed, his voice sharp. “You saw the caller’s name? And it was Yana? Are you sure about that?”“Yes, Franco!” Muna ran a hand through her hair, trying to steady her nerves. “And when that number called Dyesi, she acted disturbed. I was already questioning her about why she warned me not to get the Lioness tattoo. She panicked. She begged me again not to get it. And just moments later, her phone rang. The caller’s name appeared. It was Yana.”Franco’s eyes narrowed. He grabbed a file from his left side and reached for his phone, switching it to speaker.“What was the country code of that number?” he asked, already flipping through the pages.Muna exhaled, struggling to recall it.“It wasn’t Otlanto’s code… not +168. It was something else.”Franco didn’t look up. “Try to remember, Muna. What was it?”“I remember now!” she said sharply. “It was +191. That’s the U.S. country code, right?”Franco froze. His fingers paused at a page labeled Mobile Contacts. He scanned th

Franco clenched his fists tightly. He was growing more frustrated with himself. The truth was right there, hovering around him, yet he couldn’t grasp a single thread of it. He had a strong hunch that the Lioness’ Den was nothing more than a ticking disaster, but what pained him was that he couldn’t uncover the secret hidden beneath it.“What now, My Lord?” Dave’s voice cut through his thoughts. “What are we going to do now? How are we going to solve this mystery?”Franco spoke without blinking. “Just continue your investigation. I’ll carry out my own part of the plan.”He ended the call and quickly raised his phone, taking a photo of Dyesi’s car.Luckily, he captured the plate number.Instead of wasting time chasing after them, he’d go directly to the National Plate Registry (NPR) and have the plate number tracked.“Bro, what did Mr. Vale tell you? Did he say anything crucial to the case?” Michael asked, appearing just as Franco hung up.Franco turned, walking away from the property e

When Franco asked Dave to investigate the location and provide him with all the evidence related to that location, Dave was quick to get someone very good who could handle the location, track its activities and give out all the necessary information about it.The tech managed to get the information revealing that the Location is used for illegal activities and is only hiding under the name “Medicinal Plant plantation!”Dave wasted no time in sending someone over to that location to confirm who went there to have an abortion. Whether it is Dyesi or Yana.The person got lucky that when he got there, he saw Dyesi and Yana outside and the only conversation he recorded was: “I hope you've gotten what you wanted! Now that I have gotten an abortion, you'd give me the space I want!”This statement came from Yana.As Franco checked the file which Dave sent him, he nodded. So, it is confirmed that Yana went there for an abortion operation.He hurriedly went back to Michael's. There, he met Oli
