For a moment, Marco did not know how to react. He stood there, staring at Sal as he waited patiently for what was going to follow.

Sal observed him through eye as sharp as an eagle's. So thorough like he was going to swoop down anytime soon on Marco.

Jose held his breath. Looking from one man to the other. Even the space where they were bore witness, everything had become quiet there and now,it was all up to either of them to make things better.

Sal raised his hand suddenly, then reached for Marco's shoulder and rested it right there as his face started spreading into what became a smile.

He started laughing, excitedly...

“You...relax. I meant that as a compliment. You're finally growing balls.” he said.

Jose exhaled loudly.

Marco blinked once but very quickly, found his composure.

“You would speak with him?”

“If that would make it fine. Yes.”

“Okay. Let's go then.” Marco said.

Sal looked really proud at this point as he looked over to Jose like a father saying...‘this right here is m

    Elena watched Bruno walk around the room after he heard the call he was having. He did not say any word to her and all focus was on him, so after some time of silence he told her that it was time for them to leave the place."Then where are we going?" Elena asked him before following him anywhere. It was obvious that she was stubborn and Bruno had already confirmed it, but he had to keep on playing along and avoiding her issues."You are going to see where we are going, but we are leaving this place right now. We have concluded our business here and we are leaving here," Bruno responded to her as he grabbed his bag and stood beside the door as he waited for her to get up from the bed.The both of them left the room as they went downstairs to check out of the motel where they had stayed.As they were going, Elena kept questioning him on where they were going."Relax, you just have to remain calm and everything will move smoothly.

    "What do you mean by do I want to see my daughter alive?" Margaret asked the person on the phone call."Madam, it is just a simple question. Do you want to see your daughter alive or not?" the person answered her by still asking her the same question."Of course I want to see her alive, and every mother would want to see their child alive." This time around, she answered the question without making an argument because it was very necessary and important to her."Okay, since you want to see your daughter alive, I think we are going to play a game. Are you in for the game?" the person went ahead to ask her."What game are you talking about? In fact, I am in, so stop…tell me the game and I’m ready to play it," Margaret responded."All right. Since you are in, a text will be sent to your phone immediately. Just follow exactly what you see there, and by that, you are going to see your daughter alive," the unknown person said to her and hung up the call.As Margaret was about to speak, she

    Marco stepped out of Lady Camilla’s room with a dark, distant look clouding his expression. The door clicked softly behind him, but the weight of their conversation remained heavy in his chest. It clung to him like damp smoke, refusing to fade, refusing to loosen its grip.She was a viper...she had sucked him dry above his limits and expectations.“Do not let her pull you down, Marco. She's dangerous but that danger you can make work just for you.” Antonio advised.He walked down the corridor slowly, each step echoing in his ears. Sal was standing against the wall at the end of the hallway, arms folded. When he saw Marco, he straightened immediately.“What happened?” Sal asked.Marco shook his head. “Nothing I want to talk about.”Sal studied him for a moment, then nodded. “Fine. Come clean when you’re ready.”He clearly knew Camilla had done something to pressure the boy. The old man decided that it was time he started keeping a close watch on the younger man.Marco exhaled softly. H

    As Dante left where he had the meeting with Don Lugard, he went straight to his warehouse as he called for a meeting immediately.He called his men to a meeting so that they could discuss the next step they were going to take and he could tell them of the meeting he had with Don Lugard.They all assembled as he told them everything and mocked Don Lugard in front of them all.As they were still gisting and laughing, Sergio walked in angrily as he approached Dante and began questioning him."Uncle, what have you done? What do you think you are doing?" he asked Dante, and then Dante dragged him into his office.As they reached the office, before Sergio could say anything else, Dante had already given him a hot slap on his face and warned him never to talk to him rudely in front of his men again."I am sorry about that, I did not mean to speak to you like that," Sergio apologized, and then Dante hugged him and patted his back.Sergio went ahead to ask him about Elena because Elena was mis

    Stefano felt the rush of victory pulsing through his veins long before the plan had even begun. For the first time in days, he tasted something close to triumph… so close he could already imagine grabbing Marco by the throat and dragging him before Don Lugard in chains.He paced his room like a predator that had waited too long for a kill. His phone lay on the table, screen dark, until it buzzed sharply. The sound cut through the air with an edge that made him freeze.The pain of his hand which had been put in a sling was forgotten. He snatched it up the moment he saw the caller ID.Marco.Just who he was waiting for.His pulse thudded as he answered.“Marco… I’ve been waiting,” Stefano said, forcing his voice to sound calm.Marco’s voice came cold, steady, emotionless. “We meet tonight at the old warehouse marked for demolition. At eight pm.”Stefano straightened, eyes bright. “Good. Come alone.”“Fine, I will. You too.” Marco was direct with his tone and words.The line went dead.S
