I stare at Mr. Matteo for a moment before briefly glancing towards Aurora, who I believe, at the moment, is in the right position to answer the question.

Aurora seems to get the clue from me, and she coughs lightly before narrating all that she told me. Mr. Matteo looks blank, his face ashen white as he thinks of all he has learned. I wonder what's running through his mind right now. I know for sure that he will punish Zente for what he did, but what I do not know is whether or not he will punish Bruno, for he is still his son. After all, he's the son he raised himself, and I feel the same way towards my parents. It doesn't matter if I'm not related to them by blood; by heart, we are a family.

"Son?" Dad says softly, his voice breaking as he takes me in. He must be feeling bad because of how tattered I look, and I must make sure to assure him that the fault isn't his.

"Father," I reply. Looking into his hazel eyes, I see them brimming with tears, and I rush towards him, enveloping him

    ~Author's Pov~Lynn turns back and sees Mr Matteo, his biological father standing behind him. He looks powerful and intimidating and when his eyes meets his, his orbs softens and Lynn feels a strong urge to cry but he suppresses it and smiles at him. He called him son, he keeps wondering how he knows about it because he's aware of the fact that Aurora hasn't said a word to him. How then did he know about it? "Son?...," The receptionist stutters, her voice quivering in fear as she looks from Mr Matteo to Lynn who she has just insulted. Alias, how is her fate going to be now? She can't help but think."The young man standing before you is my real son, Lynn. He has been undercover for some years now. Infact, he got back from UK a year ago but made his intention clear of going undercover. He's a Hidden Gem but now he's back as a shining light." Mr Matteo explains, smile tugging at the sides of his face. He looks happy and for a reason he thought it was the best thing to do at the situati

    "I'm so sorry, but I'm not allowed to let you in. Please use the door now." The receptionist utters, her air of confidence on as she looks at me from head to toe. I doubt she has seen Aurora, because I know if she had, she wouldn't have objected to let me in. We are in the waiting hall right now and it wasn't to come in because there wasn't any security man minding the gate. These are things I will change once I get power in my hands because if there's no strong security, how then are the inhabitants of the great company as these supposed to be save? While I was working here, she had been one of those to underrate me but now I happen to be her boss. Hmph, I will teach they all who have looked down on me. "I want to meet with your boss, please let him know that he has a guest." I explain, then I move my hand up to my collar to strengthen it a minute. I don't want to look bad when I stand before my father.The lady sneers and she snaps a finger at me with a look of disgust on her face

    "Pray tell, where are we heading to?" Aurora tugs at my shirt, and I turn to face her. Her face looks frightened and I smile at her which obviously doesn't come from my heart. She's the reason we both are in this position right now. I still believe she had a choice if she had used her common sense to think things true back then when the devil had offered her husband's life to her. Rather, she decided to be selfish and let others suffer. I look out of the window not minding her at all. I am thinking of where to take her while I go back to my family. Right now, they are my priority since Zente knows of my identity now and if he can't get me, reaching through my family would be a perfect step in getting me. Thoughts of what he could do to them makes my blood boil hot and I involuntarily clench my hands on the seat, jaw chattering to the extent that it can even grind a diamond at the moment. "You are ignoring me right now. I know you have every right to but please talk to me." Aurora

    I am still seated with Aurora.She is seated by my side on a chair near the bed as I ask her some questions.โ€œHow did you meet Zente in the first place, I donโ€™t think he would have just approached you to make you commit such a crime if you didnโ€™t have an existing relationship in the first place,โ€ I reason. She nods at me agreeably.โ€œYou are right, I knew Zente way before he made that request of me,โ€ She agrees.โ€œI met him twenty five years ago, you werenโ€™t born yet, I was still a nurse in a big hospital back then, I used to be married,โ€ She pauses as sadness fills her eyes.โ€œUsed to?โ€ I ask her, I observe her fingers, there are no wedding rings on her fingers. Not even the band mark from wearing a wedding ring and removing it.She must have been married a really long time ago.โ€œYes, I was married, my husband is late now,โ€ She says sadly.But I donโ€™t feel bad for her.And I cannot pretend so I stay silent, watching her.โ€œZente was the bar owner back then, where my husband used to go a
