				51- The bastards
			
Mr. Mirano let out a chuckle after savoring a spoonful of Martha's soup, the flavors dancing on his palate. "So, how is it?" Martha inquired, a bright smile stretching across her thin lips."It's absolutely delightful, as always," he replied, taking another spoonful. "Martha, I swear, your cooking never ceases to amaze me!"Martha's gaze shifted towards Terrace, offering him a taste of the soup as well. His face lit up with delight, and soon he was asking for more. Meanwhile, a sense of satisfaction washed over Martha; she was thrilled to have pleased them with her culinary skills and secretly hoped for the opportunity to showcase her talents further. Just then, Mrs. Mirano made her entrance.A broad smile spread across Mr. Mirano's face at the sight of his wife, though her stern expression suggested she was in no mood for lighthearted banter or playfulness. Her scowl was accentuated by her tightly clenched fists, as if she were ready to unleash a barrage of heavy punches upon him."I

"Let go of this instant!" Jolie shouted, prompting Walter to release her with a heavy sigh."Please, just try to calm down," Walter implored, attempting to diffuse the tension."Don't you dare tell me to calm down right now," Jolie hissed, her finger jabbing accusingly toward his face. "Honestly, I am furious! But we can discuss this later. Arguing here isn't going to solve anything."With that, she turned on her heel and stormed out of the room.Turning his attention to Martha, Walter gently placed his hands on her shoulders in a comforting gesture. "Are you alright?" he asked, genuine concern etched on his features."I suppose," Martha muttered, exhaling deeply. "What's gotten into her, though? Why can't she see the logic in what you're saying?""Pay her no mind," Walter dismissed with a scoff, "I believe she's simply jealous.""Well, I hope you can talk some sense into her," Martha said, her gaze momentarily drifting away to focus on the simmering food atop the stove. "She needs to

"I'm afraid I have no choice but to disobey you, Jolie," Walter stated, his voice firm. "I have always respected you as my wife, but I can not do that anymore. If you don't agree with my decision, so be it, but I refuse to listen to you any longer."He moved to leave, but Jolie swiftly grabbed his arm. "Please, try to understand where I'm coming from," she pleaded."I'm trying my best to understand you, Jolie, but your reasoning makes no sense, and you know it," he replied with a sigh."Fine, but I truly detest this, Walter. It's so unfair!" Jolie hissed, her breath quickening as she crossed her arms over her chest."I don't care what you have to say, Jolie," Walter said, his tone resigned. "I have made my stance clear, and that's final. They will both be staying in this house, and that's the end of it.""But she is a harlot, and he is a bastard!" Jolie snapped, her voice tinged with venom. "What will everyone think of us now?""Do I look like I even care?" Walter scoffed, his patienc

As she hung up the phone, Jolie took a few deep breaths to calm her racing heart. The confrontation with Walter had left her shaken, and she desperately needed a sympathetic ear. If anyone could understand her plight, it would be Shane-Leo.She passed the time by pacing the length of her bedroom, her mind replaying the heated exchange with her husband. With each passing moment, her determination to confide in Shane-Leo grew. If Walter was unwilling to consider her feelings, perhaps Shane-Leo would offer the support she so desperately sought.As the hour drew to a close, Jolie hastily dialed Shane-Leo's number once more. To her dismay, he insisted that he was still occupied with work."Goodness," she sighed, her frustration mounting. "When will you be finished, then?""I honestly can't say, Mother," Shane-Leo replied, his voice tinged with regret. "But I promise to call you as soon as I'm free, alright?""Very well," Jolie conceded, nodding to herself. "I'll be waiting."The call ended

"Let's leave it be, Martha," Walter said, rolling his eyes in an attempt to diffuse the tension."Please, talk to me," Martha pleaded, gently grasping his hand in hers."No, Martha, I'm serious," Walter groaned, pulling his hand away. "I don't want to discuss it. The past is the past; let's focus on the present."Martha's gaze dropped to the floor, her voice heavy with apology. "I'm sorry for being so inquisitive.""It's alright," Walter replied, his tone softening. "Let's just retire for the night, alright?""Wait," Martha interjected, "let's finish our coffee first." She raised their cups, offering a truce of sorts."Yeah, thanks," Walter said with a smile as they both sipped the warm beverage. Once the cups were empty, Martha washed them and tidied up the space.Noticing their imminent departure, Jolie hastily retreated from view, conceali

"Talk to me," Jolie urged, approaching him, her voice gentle yet insistent. "Don't tell me you've been living off junk food!""No, Mother, it's been fast food," Shane-Leo said, meeting her eyes defensively. "There's a difference.""There is no difference to me!" she exclaimed, her hands flying up in exasperation. "I'm going shopping for groceries and restocking this house. Then, I'll prepare a proper meal, along with other dishes that you can preserve and enjoy throughout the week.""Aw, thank you, Mom!" he beamed, his smile wide and appreciative."You don't need to thank me," she huffed, looking away with feigned annoyance. "I'm still upset with you!"He laughed, swiftly closing the distance between them and enveloping her in a warm embrace. Her resistance melted away, and she chuckled softly, returning the embrace."Anyway, I must be off now; there's somethin

Shane-Leo's teeth ground together as he rose from his seat, his fists clenching in fury as waves of anger and frustration threatened to consume him. His mother observed him with a growing sense of concern etched on her features."What's wrong?" she asked gently, hoping to diffuse the tension."So that's why!" Shane-Leo roared, storming over to the wall and unleashing a barrage of punches upon the unyielding surface."No, stop!" his mother cried, rushing to his side and throwing her arms around him in a desperate attempt to restrain him. "Please, stop this. Talk to me. What's going on?""That's why he tried to have me killed," Shane-Leo choked out between sobs, his resolve weakening as his mother's pleas pierced through the red haze of his anger.Jolie maintained her grip around Shane-Leo's waist, her voice trembling as she spoke. "What do you mean, Shane-Leo? I'm afraid I'm quite confused. Please, explain what you mean, honey."Feeling the pressure of her knotted hands against his sto

Jolie gestured towards Shane-Leo's phone, her voice barely above a whisper. "But who is that man in the video?"Shane-Leo took a deep breath before responding. "I didn't share this with you after discovering the truth because I had my suspicions about you as well, Mother.""Me?" Jolie asked, taken aback. "You know I would never do anything to harm you, right?""I know, and I sincerely apologize for making you feel that way and for ignoring you," Shane-Leo said, his voice filled with remorse.Jolie offered a gentle tap on his shoulder in understanding. "It's alright.""In any case," Shane-Leo continued, "this man broke into my house one night, intent on killing me. He tried to attack Norah and me, but we were fortunate enough to escape. After capturing and interrogating him, he confessed that my father was the one who ordered the hit. But even now, Mother, I have no idea why he would want to kill me, his own son?"Shane-Leo's sobs echoed through the room, each one a painful reminder of

"So, this is how it's going to be?" Shane-Leo scoffed, shoving his hands into his pockets as every pair of eyes in the room turned to him."Shane-Leo?" Walter whispered, his voice trembling as his gaze locked onto his son. He started to approach Shane-Leo but stopped in his tracks as Shane-Leo recoiled."Don't come any closer," Shane-Leo warned."But--" Walter attempted to speak, reaching out toward his son, only to be met with a growl of anger.Shane-Leo's index finger shot up, pointed directly at his father's face, which now displayed a mixture of hurt and disappointment. "Keep those filthy hands to yourself, or else."Walter took a step back, confusion clouding his features. "What did I do now, Shane-Leo?""Oh, please!" Shane-Leo sneered, his eyes narrowing into slits. "Don't act like you have no idea what's going on.""But son," Walter pleaded softly, s

"How dare you!" Jolie yelled, rushing to Shane-Leo's side and gently cradling his face in her hands. "Don't you ever lay a hand on my son again," she warned, her eyes blazing with anger as she pointed a finger at Walter's face. "This will be the first and last time you ever do such a thing to him."Walter's face contorted with fury. "Not only have you poisoned his mind, but now you defend him even when he's in the wrong! He's my son, and I have every right to discipline him as I see fit— do you hear me, woman?"Jolie's voice was cold and resolute as she replied, "Not on my watch!""That's right," Shane-Leo spat, his voice filled with venom. "You have no right to lay a finger on me anymore."Walter scoffed, his voice heavy with sarcasm. "And why not? Are you not my son? Or do you think you've outgrown the need for discipline? Has that CEO position— which isn't even yours yet— gone to your head?"
