“Why you’re so serious Dad?” I open it when I enter the kitchen. Even though he looks straight at the food, he obviously doesn’t have the focus there.

I sat down next to it, and the maid immediately took my plate.

“I just watched the news about the accident that happened to the Montevero brothers, just a few kilometers away from the scene of the accident at the hotel.” Oh so that’s why. Is it saddened by the accident that happened to the Monteveros? I can’t figure out what Dad is really thinking right now.

“Oh! That accident is so tragic,” I said.

“Did you hear about it already?”

“Nope, just now, I heard from you Dad.”

I had to ride with ignorance about the accident. Dad can’t notice. Fortunately, he was asleep when Denard and I got home last night. It’s four o’clock in the morning. He also slept for about four hours.

“That’s terrible! The handsome guy had an accident! I hope my face wasn’t injured!” said Carolina who was opposite me.

I didn’t notice he was there. My mind is too preoccupied on creating a new plan to get what’s ours.

I’m not sure what Denard thought because it might hit me again.

“Did you see Lineah in person? Did you talk to her? Is she really handsome?” Yes, So much. Still nothing faded. Damn! What am I saying ?!

Fortunately, I didn’t say that out loud!

I didn’t expect Carolina’s question to me, before I could answer Tyang had already spoken.

“Stop them first, Carolina. Lineah and your Tiro Ignacio must still be tired.”

Carolina blushed. It continued eating quietly. Fortunately, he followed Aunty.

The two of us were right. I averted my eyes, I’m not sure but there was something strange in Aunty’s stare.

I was devastated to remember what he said before the gala. It knew I was going to do it. Has she figured it out? Did he know that I was the cause of the accident? Letse! Hope not! And if he had known he wouldn’t have told Dad!

“I can’t believe what happened. Last night was still fun. I never thought that would happen to them.” Dad said.

“I know it’s so awful right? I hope they see Thander,” he said I then ate bacon.

“What did you say?”

I looked up at him. Its forehead is furrowed. “Yes?”

His eyes narrowed.

“How did you know one of the Monteveros was missing?”

“On tv uncle,” Denard said then pointed to the tv in the living room. “

I sighed. I thought Dad and I would be late. I mouthed thank you to Denard. It sat next to me.

I looked back at Dad. His gaze was fixed on me. I smiled at this reason for him to look away from me. What is going on with Dad?

“We’re still investigating how the car of the two Monteveros lost its brakes. We’re looking into whether it was foul play or an accident. What do you think about it, Denard?”

“It could be both Tito. With the amount of enemies and competitors the Monteveros have in business, that’s probably one of the reasons why they had an accident, or it might be Tito’s karma.”

“Denard’s right Dad,” I said.

“What do you mean?”

“They’ve done a lot of bad things so it’s probably karma Dad.” It’s karma and her name is Lineah.

I am the karma of the Montevero brothers. I will make sure that their deception and exaggeration against the people will end. I will serve as justice for the people they have tortured and hurt.

“I don’t think this will happen to them. Maybe they are cunning in business but they are still kind. I don’t think anyone can do that to them.”

I swallowed. I can’t fake a smile now because of the anger that surrounds me. Why is Dad like this? Why in his eyes do the Montevero brothers look like saints ?! Why is he so kind to them? He even managed to get past their abduction of me. Killing my mother who was his wife and taking over the company!

I smiled at the palm. I turned to Denard as he held my hand. He gave me a meaningful look. I took a deep breath. I pursed my lips and reached for his hands, I squeezed it to tell him I was fine.

“I’m thankful for those people who did that.”

We turned our attention to the newly arrived Titus Ephraim.

“I mean if it’s not really an accident, I salute to those people who made them pay because they deserved it.” His bitter promise.

Dad’s forehead furrowed.

“Ephraim, how can you say that? Sergio is our friend, it’s his sons—”

“Our friend who turned his back when we needed him.” Its promise is emphatic. The two looked at each other.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who can sense the tension between the two.

“Let’s not talk about Montevero’s can we?” ani ko. The two nodded, Tito Ephraim stood beside Denard. Opposite it was Tyang who was looking at me.

Seriously? What do they think Dad is Aunty?

Damn it, take care of that!

Breakfast was peaceful after the banana happened. Go straight to the campaign immediately after getting ready. Uncle Ephraim wasted no time, he immediately went to my office. Coincidentally, Denard was also there so we talked about what happened. He also could not believe the stupidity of that kidnapper. But Denard immediately said what he thought.

“That’s a good plan,” Tito Ephraim said.

“But what if Theron doesn’t agree? That man is cunning and we all know that. What if he finds out where we’re hiding Thander? He’ll definitely take the brother and call the police!” I exclaimed.

We shouldn’t be the ones incarcerated but them! They killed Denard and my parents! They are the reason non! They have to pay the law! As well as me! For all their diseases and pigs!

“He can’t do that, Lineah.”

My forehead furrowed.

“Why?”

“Because the reason why we are doing this will be revealed. They will have more cases starting from the murder of the Mother of those two by Denard and their kidnapping of you. As well as their taking over Salvatore Corporations and other crimes they committed.”

“So you agree to this new plan?”

He sighed.

“This is the only plan we have now. We can’t do what we used to do.”

How is this?

“We could still force Thander to sign the papers.” Right! That’s fine! You are right, Lineah. Theron is no longer needed in this plan—

“That won’t work. They both own it, you still need the signature of that stupid Theron.” Denard said.

Shit! I close my eyes tightly.

“They will be busy looking for Thander Montevero while Theron is still in the hospital.”

“How is he? Is he okay?”

Denard’s eyes narrowed. I gulped.

“I mean… I want to know if he’s injured enough.” Right! I want to know if that animal is still hurting!

“According to the news he was just injured.”

“He must have a suspicion that we did ---”

“She has a lot of enemies in the business and has done bad things to her.” Said Titus Ephraim.

“Then how should we do this?”

Denard stared at me.

“We need to go back to the rest house to see him. We need to have a plan before Denard and I go there. I can’t risk going there without a plan.”

“We need to get that idiot to sign the papers.”

“But how? He won’t just sign it if he can’t get anything,” I said.

“That’s where we use his brother.”

Denard’s forehead furrowed.

“We only know him as a heartless bastard. He’ll do anything to be on top, for power and wealth. Do you think he’ll trade his brother for the Salvatore Corporations?”

“There’s a reason why they’re twins, sisters. Deep down, I know he cares for his brother. It’s his other half. He shares everything with him. From their mother’s tyan to everything. He can’t afford to lose Thander That’s Montevero. “

Tito Ephraim has a point. When there was, I did not separate the two. There is always one for the other and Tito Ephraim is right, in everything they divide… I must be the one who knows the habits and actions of the two because I get along better with them. I know for a fact that they share everything. They’re into sharing to the point that we did a threesome, countless times.
