Deep silence surrounded them for a moment. It was not clear whether they were dazed by Adalfo’s voice, or they were still trying to digest the meaning of the short text read by Adalfo.
Finally Guido made a sound by clearing his throat. “To be honest, this is only the message to find the place where the fifth clue is hidden. It doesn’t show the location of Mister Adalfo’s asset.”
“What??” Alfonso and Siena exclaimed at the same time.
Siena felt her limbs freeze in place. It was another two-part code from Adalfo!
“Geez, Grandpa…. Why did you make it more difficult? It’s only one more asset left,” Siena complained in a low voice.
Alfonso turned at her with a smile on his face. “It doesn’t matter, Cherry…. As Mister Moretti said, we should enjoy our time here while we try to solve the

What a magnificent view…!” Siena screamed in wonderment.She stood at the edge of the tower enjoying the view of Siena City. Combination of brown and white colors from the medieval structures dominated the city center, while fields of greenery surrounded the outskirt of the city. Though she was still panting from the climb, but this whole beauty was worth striving for.“It reminds me of Palma. The view is also unforgettable,” Siena commented.Alfonso stood next to her. “Really?

Going to the library does help after all!” Alfonso exclaimed, as he kept running down the stairs.Siena couldn’t help laughing out loud. She recalled almost the same moment when they were in Palma.

“I lost the fifth clue…!”“What…?”Siena searched inside her bag once again. Her body froze at once, her stomach clenched. She lost it! All her other stuffs were there, but the tube containing the fifth clue was gone!“It must be the kids who stole it!” Alfonso suddenly roared.He ran hastily to the right of the trattoria since he remembered the kids were running this way. But the people and tourists passing on the pavement were too crowded, he couldn’t see the kids anymore. Just as he was about to run further, something came into his mind all of a sudden.“Wait a minute! Why would the kids steal the clue? A real pickpocket would not be interested in a metal tube, while Siena’s purse and other stuffs were untouched!”Alfonso now rushed back to Siena. She was still

He wore a long winter coat, a beanie hat, and a scarf covering half of his face, just like when he was in Italy.When he found out that Siena and Alfonso were returning from Italy to Los Angeles, Brian immediately took the plane with almost the same departure time as their private jet. From Los Angeles International Airport, he went straight to this house. As he arrived, he saw Alfonso’s car was still parked at the front yard of the house.Brian couldn’t understand himself either, why was he doing so many unusual things since Gloria asked him to conspire with her?

Not to mention we suddenly left Los Angeles without telling him a word. Don’t you remember, Alf? We are here to ask for Damien’s help, not to start a quarrel. I don’t want any trouble,” Siena retorted quickly.Alfonso was not at ease. He could still remember vividly how Damien had kissed Siena when they were in the hospital in Palma!“And let him kiss you again?” He raised his voice even higher.“W-what…? You saw that…?” Siena stammered.Alfonso was fuming with anger, but he d

Siena stepped out from Damien’s office building five minutes later, and made her way to Alfonso’s car.“How is it going?” Alfonso asked as soon as she got into his car.“Damien was still busy. He said he didn’t have time to talk at this moment. So… he is coming to Grandpa’s house at six tonight.” Siena stopped talking, and stared at Alfonso with her pleading eyes.“Alf, please don’t think negatively or get mad at me. We need Damien’s help. I told him to come to Grandpa’s house for a dinner. But trust me, we will be just talking as friends. I hope you don’t mind if I meet Damien tonight,” Siena gave a quick explanation.Alfonso stiffened. His brain was actually screaming with disagreement.

Alfonso stood in front of a unit of apartment. This apartment was far from luxurious, unlike his apartment. The corridor was narrow, and there was not enough empty space between each unit that made the whole area feel stuffy. Why would Gloria choose this kind of apartment for herself? He knew exactly how her taste for luxurious and glamorous places.Alfonso knocked on the door of Gloria’s apartment unit. The next second, her face appeared from behind the door.“Honey Bear! Come in! I’ve been waiting for you,” she sounded so cheerful, her face shining.Alfonso walked into the room. It was a small unit as he had estimated before. There was only one bedroom and one bathroom at the right side of the unit.
