Tony had erased Tyler from Sarah's memory. Now, she lay fast asleep on her bed, undisturbed.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Tyler asked his elder brother, looking hurt.

"Sorry," Tony replied, his tone anything but apologetic as he grabbed a bottle of wine from the kitchen cupboard.

"Your burial is coming up soon. I bet Troy will attend," Tony said, pouring a glass of red wine and sliding it across the table to Tyler.

"I hope so," Tyler replied, grinning.

"What killed you, anyway?" Tony asked, watching him closely.

"I was just... tired of life," Tyler replied, offering a sinister smile.

Tony raised a skeptical brow, knowing Tyler was lying.

"Alright, alright-my son killed me," Tyler admitted, shame coloring his face.

"You're such a fool," Tony said, laughing.

Elsewhere, Xello was having the time of her life, calling relatives to share the "great news" of her ex-husband's passing. She also summoned her children, Tom and Tiana.

"Hi, Mom," Tiana greeted as she walked into her mother's house, with Tom close behind.

"How are you two?" Xello asked.

Tiana nodded, while Tom offered a silent nod as well.

"What's this gathering for?" Tom asked indifferently.

"How did your father die?" Xello asked, a glint of curiosity in her eyes.
