Next morning
At RAFAEL'S mansion
Nick came to Raf and said
Nick: Come on, Raf, let's go to the underground.
Rafael: (smirking) Ah, Nick, you're so eager.
(Rafael and Nick go to the underground, where Alex and Jake are tied up and seated in chairs.)
Rafael: (teasingly) Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
Alex: (terrified) Please, don't do this to me! (He is hella scared )
Rafael: (sarcastically) Oh, how pitiful.
(Rafael turned to Jake, who sweats and gulps in fear.)
Rafael: So, you both stole the funds?
Alex and Jake remaind silent looking at each other with fear all over their body
Raf : Why the f**k you guys are silent now ! ( he said and shoots the waste wooden chair near by )
Seeing this Alex and Jake got terrified
Alex: (stammering) W-we di-did it for our-ourselves.
Jake: (nervously) Y-yes, we needed the money.
Rafael: (outraged) Stop lying! I provided you both with enough money and a free house. What more could you possibly need? ( raising his eyebrows )
(Alex and Jake remain silent, and Rafael's anger boils over.)
Rafael: (furious) You're pushing me too far! ( He couldn't control his anger anymore )
(Rafael shoots Alex in the leg, and Nick's eyes widen in shock.)
Nick: (Trying to stop him ) Raf, stop!
Rafael: (glaring at Nick) Back off, Nick!
Seeing his death glare Nick gulped and stood there like a statue
(Jake was terrified and tries to speak.)
Jake: (stammering) I-I'll tell you everything!
Raf turned his gaze towards Jake and went near him. He put the gun in his throat and smirked..
Raf : Tell me.
Jake side eyed Alex who is still shouting in pain..
Raf loaded the gun to shoot..
Jake : No No.. I will tell.. I will tell.. ( trying to catch his breathe )
Raf listening to him carefully
Jake: (nervously) We went to a club months ago... and we got in over our heads.
Rafael: (skeptical) Go on.
Jake: (gulping) We did some bidding... and we lost big time in a game. That's why we needed money.
Nick: (surprised) You went to a club and got into a game? What were you thinking?
Jake: I know it was stupid... but we got caught up in the moment. Sorry boss.
Rafael: (anger rising) And then you stole from me to pay off your debts?
Jake: (terrified) Please, boss.. have mercy !
Rafael: (furiously) Nick, he's lying! You liar! (loads gun and shoots Jake in the legs)
Jake: (screaming in agony) Aaaaah! Oh God, please! (cries out in extreme pain)
Nick: (horrified) Raf, stop! What are you doing?! (tries to intervene)
Rafael: You stole from me, and now you're going to pay! (points gun at Jake's other leg)
Jake: (pleading) No, please! Don't shoot again! I'll tell the truth, I swear! (cries uncontrollably)
Rafael: (menacingly) The truth? You had your chance. Now, you'll suffer. (cocks gun again)
Nick: (desperately) Raf, stop! This isn't you! Don't do this! (tries to grab Rafael's arm)
Rafael: (yanking his arm free) Get back, Nick! This doesn't concern you! (snarls at Jake) You're going to regret ever crossing me!
Nick: At least listen to him, Raf. Let him tell the truth.
Rafael: (calming down) Fine. Speak.
Jake: (nervously) We... we were involved in a car accident that day. The man inside the car was severely injured and fell into a coma. We panicked and tried to cover it up. We bribed the police by giving money to avoid getting charged. I'm sorry, boss. We shouldn't have done it, but we didn't know how to escape the situation.
Raf closed his eyes in frustration..
Raf turned to Nick
Raf : What can we do them ?
Nick : I thought giving severe punishment but.. This seems so cruel.. You both did and accident and bribed the police by giving money ? Huh ? Is that why raf made you both study and took care of you both ? Huh ? You cheaters.. Raf, no more discussion go on and end the chapters of them.
Jake : Please boss.. Show some mercy ( cries )
Rafael: (skeptically) Mercy? You showed no mercy to the man you left in a coma. You showed no mercy to the man's family. You showed no mercy to me when you stole from me. Then, why should I ?
Jake slowly loosing his consciousness.
Alex already fainted due to lot of blood loss.
Raf and Nick came back to upstairs
Raf : Soon collect the details of that man who left in coma by these idiots.. We will take care of his medical charges.
Nick nodded and smiled at him
Raf : What ? What's with the smile
Nick : Thought you would smile back to me..
Raf : ( sighed ) It will never happen.
Raf took a glass of water and drank while seeing the view from outside from his huge glass walls. Facing back to Nick

Nick : ( smiles ) You have a good soul. It will come out one day.. And you will smile at me.. I will see happiness in your eyes that you lost 10 years ago !
Raf : No way.. ( sighed ) No one can bring me those happiness in my eyes.. Nooo one..
Zooming out..
