Phoenix's POV
"We need her alive."
Sinamaan ako ng tingin ni Cassandra pero binitawan nya na din ang inaakala nyang kalaban nya saka ibinalik ang baril sa gun pocket nito.
"She's not an enemy."
"What??"
"She's an ally."

Ezekiel's POV
"R-roswell?"
He froze as he stared at me gaping, looking at me full of astonishment and confusion.
"H-how did this happen?"
I placed my mask slowly on his table as the answer for his queries flashed on my mind.
I dialed Lamperouge's number and fuck. It took them three fucking rings to finally answer the fucking phone
"What the fuck took you so long?"
[B-boss si B-boul to. K-kasi.. ano.. Lampe! Tulungan mo ko dito!]
Just as I thought.
Stupid dumbasses.
"Boulstridge"
[B-bakit bossing?]
Its 22:33 in Barcelona. Probably 16:33 in the Philippines
"Gather everyone at exactly 12 midnight. We will kill some imbeciles tonight and bring my wife back."
[Alam mo na bossing??]
I hanged up the call and looked at my secretary.
"Call Aerion Business and tell them I need my Aerion AS2 right now"
"Yes Sire"
I was about to open the driver's seat when the secretary interrupted
"Your AS2 will be here 30minutes from now, Sire"
As I entered my car, I felt an unfamiliar presence sitting behind. Secretly, I took my gun and in a swift movement, I pointed it straight on the person's head.
"Who are you"
She just darted her eyes at me, destitute from any emotion as she showed me a folder right in front of my sight.
"I'm not an enemy, Sir Ezekiel. I am Coleanne Allard. One of the leaders of Crimson Organization. I will tell you all the details after you put your gun down."
Third Person's POV
"H-how did this happen?"
Ezekiel sat on Niccolo's swivel chair as he softly traced his fingers on his gun
"I've been reigning this business for decades now, Alfonsi. Have you ever wonder how I stayed in my throne for years?"
Malamig na tanong ni Ezekiel kay Niccolo. Ikinasa ni Niccolo ang baril nya at agad na itinutok ito sa direksyon ni Ezekiel na prenteng nakaupo lang sa harap nya, ni hindi sya tinitignan nito.
'How can he be so fucking relaxed?!'
Sa isip ni Niccolo
"Sei un mostro! Mi hai preso tutto!" [You monster! You took everything from me!]
Tumayo si Ezekiel at sa pag tayo nya ay ang pagbukas ng pinto. Iniluwa nito sina Coleanne Allard at Phoenix Strife kaya napahinto silang dalawa.
"You took my mother's life."
Biglang sambit ni Coleanne kay Niccolo. Kaya napaharap ito sakanya at maigi siyang tinitigan
"Mother?"
Buong pagtatakang tanong niya dito.
"I don't even have the slightest idea who your mother was, Allard."
"Exactly why I loathed you more, Father."
Parang tumigil ang mundo ni Niccolo nang marinig niya ang mga salitang yon mula sa inaakala niyang kakampi.
"I am not Coleanne Allard. I am Quinn Cole Alfonsi. Daughter of Rhayeanne Alfonsi, the one whom you've murdered. I am that kid whom you thought was dead. I am your child."
Kinasa ni Ezekiel ang baril nya at lumapit sa anak ni Niccolo. Di mawari ni Phoenix kung anong dapat na reaksyon at mararamdaman niya sa mga pangyayaring ito pero isa lang ang alam nya nang tinitigan nya ang mga mata ni Ezekiel.
'Wala talagang puso.'
Sa isip ni Phoenix saka tumalikod. Natutunugan niya na ang susunod na mangyayari at bilang isa ding Ama, hindi niya kayang makita ang susunod na senaryo.
"Now, I'm back to return all the favors to you, Niccolo. Thanks to Sir Ezekiel Roswell."
Binigay ni Ezekiel ang baril nya kay Coleanne at sa pag kuha niya nito mula sa mga kamay ni Ezekiel ay ang biglang pagdilim ng mga mata nya
"Do the favor."
Walang emosyon na sambit ni Ezekiel bago itinutok ni Coleanne ang baril sa sarili nyang Ama.
"Farewell,
..Father."
