An angry Victor viciously escorted Calibah out of the room.

Indeed Victoria was both worried and concerned for her daughter but thought she ought to gave them space.

"Grace, Grace", Alejandro called with a stressed look on his face.

Seeing his father with her, felt like a stab in the back.

The look on his father's face was horrid,  even though it was his father he could never let harm come to her as he felt a great sense of protection.

Revenge was plastered his on mind, revenge on his family.

He had been deceived by them all, a harsh headache hit him, but his strong willed ego had to see about her, to make sure she was alright, to make her feel safe.

"Mmm", Grace moaned as she was slowly regaining consciousness.
She held her fingers up to her temple as she to, had a headache.

"Hey, it's okay,  I'm right here Grace, I'm never leaving you, I'm right here", he comforted her as she was cradled in the warmth of his hands.

"W-what happened?", she softly asked,  trying to remember what had just happened.

"It's okay, you don't have to think about that,  you're okay now, that's all that matters, I'm here,  I love you Grace", those words were like a trigger for him. His memory was flashing back back.

"Yo-u, y-ou, remember", there was hope and slow appearing tears in her eyes.
Tears of joy, sadness, relief, either,  they flowed no doubt.

She had loved him so much, she really thought he was dead, his father made sure of that, all this time she had wallow in her misery thinking that his death was at the fault of her own selfish ways.

A thought came to her, her little angels would have their father to raise them alongside her.

My own little family, she thought.

Her eyes wandered over to where they lay soundless, as if they understood what was happening.

Alejandro eyes followed the trail of hers, his body stilled.

....................................................

"W-what, happened?,you're bleeding Calibah", Yvonne told her husband as he entered the door.

She was pacing the floor, worriedly. Elizabeth tried to help her mother relax but the attempt failed.

All the tensions had her stressing and she knew it wasn't good for her baby that was due anytime soon.

"That", he wiped his bleeding lip with the back of his hand. " that bitch got to him, she's going to ruin everything I built", his statement was clear but Yvonne could see that her husband was in a obsessed state.
He was talking but it seems like it wasn't to her or anyone in the room.

Elizabeth thought her father had gone mad.
She and her mother exchange expressionless looks.

Yvonne tried as much to be calm as possible,  "darling,  what happened?", she asked again,  hoping this time she'd get a more precise answer.

Although he was a brute of a man, he was still her husband.

Calibah explained what had happened,  then both women felt a sense of guilt washed over them.

"Calibah what are we going to do?, surely he knows by now", Yvonne had to ask.
It was like her world was crumbling down.

"Woman, would you just shut up, its impossible to think with all your wining", so off balanced he couldn't focus.

But Yvonne had, had it up to hear with her husband despicable behavior,  "you're the one who dragged us into this- this stupid plan of yours, now look at how it backfired", surely she was frustrated, regretting the decision of following him and his treacherous scheme.

          ***flashback ***

"Mom, I think he knows we are following him", the trio watched as the vehicle ahead of them slowed down.

They too slowed down, knowing  it would be dangerous for them to even try to escape.
Watching as the well built man hopped out of the vehicle.

He had his fingers locked into Grace's hair and gun pointed at her head.

Yvonne got out, "Calibah, w-wha what's going on", she pleaded for an answer.

She thought Grace was a beauty, but the poor child doesn't even know what's she's gotten into, she thought.
"Yvonne what the hell are you doing here?, how did you find me", he was furious, having enough to deal with as it was and now his wife.

"Please, let the girl go, drop the gun Calibah", she begged.

"NO!", he barked.
"She's done nothing but cause trouble,  she deserves to be punished", he carried on.

Grace was petrified, having to be in a predicament where her life was on remand was all too terrifying.
Tears streamed down her cheeks and she was now feeling herself shaking in fear.

Control was all she could chant in her head, by the way the man tightly grippes at her throat, she was afraid that if she did anything outrageous.

"We found him, we found our son, so it doesn't make sense doing anything you'll regret", Yvonne cared for her husband, even if he was a stubborn prick.

She tried moving closer.
"Yvonne not another step closer", in that instant, Calibah's body guard took out his gun aiming at his wife.

Vahlano and Elizabeth hurried out the vehicle when they saw what was happening.

"Jesus christ, who else is back there?", Calibah ferociously asked.

"Noone, dad its just us", Elizabeth answered.

"Dad is this really necessary, for God's sake, that's your wife", Vahlano argued.

Grace was saddened by what sge was witnessing, this man was still ck ans twisted to even threatened his own wife, she thought.

"Please Calibah, I'm certain that there are more ways to deal with this situation, think about the reputation your company would have if there was a leak that you killed someone", Yvonne knew if anything, he'd consider what she just said. Knowing just how much this company venomously meant to him.

Calibah stared at his wife.
Then he threw Grace on the ground.
He target the gun on her.
"This is all your fault,  he's dead because of you, I wanted to avenge him,but I'll spear your pathetic life, for your sake, you better disappear and never look back, if I so much as get the slightest glimpse of you,  I will kill you", Grace shook with fear but what stung the most was the fact the Alejandro was dead.

"You three, get in", calibah summoned his wife and children in the vehicle he was taking.
Like dogs with it's tail slouched between their legs, they obeyed.

Elizabeth snook a glimpse at tge helpless woman on the ground and couldn't help but felt sorry for her.

Calibah told his guard to drive the vehicle they were in.

Just like that they left Grace stranded in the middle of  nowhere, helplessly.
