He's more worried and scared for Clarissa, because she's not used to the world that he's in. Clarissa is an easy prey for the La Famiglia clan.Michele snaps out from his reverie when he heard Luca Stracci's voice again."Who should I start with, Michele? Is it your father, your mother or your girlfriend?""Why would you ask me? Don't you have the guts to do it?" Michele challenges him again.Stracci remained silent for a few seconds or so... Then without a word, he laughed out loud as if he was crazy."You got that courageous trait from your father, Michele. But unfortunately, it will get you in trouble at the end..." Stacci leered at him. "You really thought that you have won over my old man? I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but you're sadly mistaken." Michele sneered back at him.Stracci's brows met in an angry frown."You're really getting into my nerves now, young man." "I wish you could look at your face now, Stracci. You look like you're ready to explode because of anger. I li
Michele slowly opens his eyes. He realizes that he's still at the warehouse. He can still taste the blood in his mouth, as the result of the torture.He can also see the rays of light streaming at the little window inside the warehouse."Maybe it's already afternoon." he thought to himself. He tried to move again, but he suddenly felt a stab of pain in every fibre of his body. He cursed himself for being such a weakling. He forces himself to move, but his body doesn't really cooperate with him.Michele's so exhausted, helpless and thirsty. And his vision is starting to blur again...Before he passes out, he saw the big gate opens, and he also heard the sound of footsteps, getting closer and closer...============================At a certain hospital in the Metropolitan City. Michele is already fast asleep. His head is fully bandaged, and the doctor treated the cuts and wounds on his face.Meanwhile, Michael Montserrat and Katherine Montserrat is looking after their sleeping son, as

It's her present for her beloved father, who is celebrating his 60th birthday today.And before his father's grand 60th birthday party begins, she wants to be the very first one to greet him and give him his special birthday gift...She knocked at her father's home office door. A few seconds later, she heard his voice from the inside."Come in!"Celeste went inside the room, while smiling. She immediately walked towards her father and gave her a big, bear hug."Happy Birthday, Daddy!" she happily greeted her father."Thank you so much, sweetheart. You look so beautiful, my dear daughter. I'm sure you'll be the center of attention at the party tonight." said Carlo Vitale, while looking at his one and only daughter with so much pride and joy."And you're dashing as ever, Daddy. That's why my stepmother fell inlove wit
Celeste was about to say something more but she wasn't able to say so when her stepmother, Mrs. Margaux Vitale smilingly enters the room."Hi, darlings... Why are you still here? Our guests are waiting for the birthday celebrant! Not to mention all of the handsome young gentlemen are waiting for you at the party, Celeste." the old woman smilingly said to her husband and her stepdaughter. Celeste smilingly shook her head once she heard her stepmother's remark."Stop being a matchmaker, Auntie.""I'm sorry sweetheart, but I just can't help it!" her stepmother's eyes sparkled in amusement.The old man stood up and offered both of his arms towards the two most important people in his life, which is his wife and his daughter.."Let's go ladies... Let's make our grand entrance as a family." the old man happily suggested.Mrs.Vitale and Celeste happily slung their arms to the old man's arms. Afterwards, they walked out from the office room and made their way to their spacious, French-inspir
"Just follow what's in your heart, sweetheart. Only you can decide about your situation." she gently advised her stepdaughter."I just don't want to hurt and disappoint Daddy. I've always been spoiled by him, and I've always been a Daddy's girl. And besides, both of you are not getting any younger. I want you guys to enjoy your life to the fullest and let me handle the responsibilities at our company." Celeste explained what's on her mind."You know that the employees the company are important to your Daddy, right? Your father believes that without them, the company won't be successful now. And besides, he feels like he needs to take care of all of the employees because they also have their own families that they need to support," added her stepmother."I'm also worried about them. But Daddy said I can't do it alone, and I need someone to help me run and protect the company..." Celeste continues on."I'm not taking any sides this time because I understand both of you and your father.
But she is now bored to death, so that is why she decided to stand up and put on her robe. She just decided to go back to her room to change. She is planning to do something to ease her boredom.

27: Rachel just shook her head after hearing all of Jewel's plans."I don't know what to say anymore, Celeste. I know you... I can't stop you from doing what you want to do but I want you to be very careful. You're playing a dangerous game, my dear." that was all that she can say."Don't worry about me too much, Rach. I won't go to war when I'm not ready. And this is the only way I can make a decision about the problem I'm facing now." Celeste seriously stated.Well, all I can say is... I wish you the best of luck and I hope you can return to the big city with a smile on your face." Rachel gave Celeste one final piece of advice."Thanks. I need all the luck that I can get..." Celeste responded.================================Right now, Celeste is in a specialized school.
