"Do you feel a pain in your heart when you see Alice's face?" Marcel asked.

"Of course I do. It still hurts, even though five years have passed. Can you imagine—I was just a woman, yet he wanted to kill me because I was falsely accused of our child not being his biological son. He's a cold and cruel man."** Alice still remembered those dark days.

"So, what’s the next step? Wasn’t it Fiona who forced Morgan to divorce you? I’m certain she was the one who spread the rumour that the child wasn’t his." Marcel wanted to be sure that Alice remembered everything clearly, so she wouldn’t back down from her revenge.

"I still remember that photo of my so-called affair which spread through the media—it was actually taken when I was kidnapped by three men. I’m sure it was Fiona’s doing. Even when I was nearly burned alive at the psychiatric hospital, that must have been her as well, actin

    “I don’t just dare to attack you, Old Man,” Marcel countered in a quiet yet deadly tone. “I dare to destroy you. Today, The Vault will be levelled.” "You are my adopted son. You would dare to kill me just for a woman? Are you not afraid of being killed by all my men?" Lorenzo retorted. "I am not afraid. I have always just been a tool to be a perfect son for you because Andrew, your biological son, didn't want to be a mafioso. You never treated me as a son; you only ever saw me as your loyal dog," Marcel replied angrily. As Marcel spoke, someone suddenly shot at him from a distance. He moved with speed to dodge the first shot released by the armed man, one of Lorenzo's loyal bodyguards. Marcel was upon him before he could aim again. A fierce kick landed on the side of the man’s head, dropping him instantly without a fight. His pistol flew far away. Lorenzo wasted no time. He lunged at Marcel with an iron elbow, an attack fu

    Alice, exhausted yet infused with new strength, hugged her daughter tightly. "You won't be able to kill this child because I said she's Marcel's daughter. He will definitely come to save my child." "I don't care," Fiona said, kicking a bucket of dirty water near Alice. "This baby will be a hostage, just like Alvin. You gave birth to her here, so this is her birthplace. Welcome, 'Little Hostage'." Alice named her daughter Alena in her heart. "Take the child, look after her. She is a better gift for Lorenzo and your enemy, Morgan," Fiona ordered one of her men, then she turned to Alice. "Now, the set of hostages is complete. Morgan will come for you, and I will destroy everything. You and your children will witness the downfall of the man you love." "I never loved Morgan," Alice retorted. "Then why were you so heartbroken when Morgan chose me back then?" "Because I was just a stupid woman. I thought that

    "The Vault. My man told me they are hiding Alice there," Marcel replied seriously. "What sort of place is that? Why does it sound so unusual?" Morgan furrowed his brow. "An underground warehouse beneath Mr. Lorenzo’s weapons company," Marcel answered with certainty. "My adoptive father once mentioned it. The place used to be a World War-era bunker, accessible only through secret tunnels from Lorenzo’s underworld network." Marcel sighed, a rare gesture in Morgan’s presence. The location, it seemed, was truly dangerous. "But could they really have taken Alice and Alvin to America?" Morgan asked, his voice tinged with doubt. "There is also a branch of The Vault here in London, and it belongs to Lorenzo. I'm not sure where it is, because countries often cooperate with Lorenzo for weapons manufacturing. Thanks to his sharp mind, he is not merely a mafioso but also one of the wealthiest men of

    "You’ve been here for four days now. You will be my maid and cook for me. Morgan always praised your cooking; if you wish to survive, never defy me. I will torture your son if you dare, Alice," Fiona threatened. "Very well! I will be your maid, or your dog. As long as Alvin is safe. You have already poisoned me, and I can’t escape from here anyway." Alice was helpless; Fiona had forced her to swallow a poisonous pill, the antidote for which she had to drink every three days lest she die, foaming at the mouth. Now, she could only submit and follow their game. At that moment, Marcel returned to Morgan's villa. He saw the man being attacked by Lorenzo's subordinates. He helped Morgan while wearing an Indonesian-style mask—a mask depicting Ravana, the demon king from the wayang legends, a truly wicked figure. "Marcel... thank you for helping me," Morgan said. "Remember this! No one is allowed to kill you but me—your twin brother," Marce

    "Being what?" "They are being kidnapped, it seems. A henchman sent this video near the main island, and actually, Madam Alice was trying to escape, Sir," Dean replied. Morgan did not wait for an answer. He ran out of the house, drove a car towards the jetty. The small boat was gone. He looked out at the sea, his eyes scanning every corner of the place. "Alice... where did you run off to? How could I have been so careless?" When he reached near Bali island, he saw it. In the distance, a black dot moved away with incredible speed. It was not a tourist boat. It was a modified military speed boat. Morgan took out his phone, immediately calling someone to track the boat. "Alice and Alvin have been kidnapped. Please check this modified military black boat in your country. I will pay you a lot of money," Morgan said while telephoning an expert Asian spy. "Underst

    The cold seawater crashed against Alice's face. The small, fragile boat overturned with a loud sound, sliced through by the immense wave generated by the brutal manoeuvre of the black vessel that had cut across their path. Alice felt herself and Alvin being flung into the air before landing in the dark, deadly water. "No... help me! Please save my son!" Alice screamed, her voice choked and swallowed by the roar of the waves. Alice struggled fiercely against the water, anxiously searching for Alvin, who had slipped from her embrace. The darkness of the night, the swirling waves, and the sheer terror of being surrounded by those foreign vessels constricted her lungs. She saw Alvin floating, gasping, clinging to a piece of the capsized boat wreckage. As Alice tried to swim towards her son, an intensely bright spotlight from the black ship illuminated them. From beyond the dazzling light, a cold, sharp,
