Carrie's Apartment"She didn't remember coming to Italy?" Kirby asked as she looked down at the sleeping Carrie. Andrea sat on a stool not far from the bed. She had both fingers interlocked which she rested her chin on. "How many times do I have to say it, Kirby?" She sighed weakly, getting onto her feet. She walked up to Carrie and stared at her peaceful face. The only person who hadn't lied to her was lying here unconscious. "Then how did you get her here?" Kirby chose to ask another question. However, the next second, her eyes caught sight of the chains used in binding Carrie's hands and feets. Andrea realized she had seen the chains and shrugged, "Don't blame me, she was really strong." "What did Anna say when she saw you backing her?" "She doesn't have to think anything other than the fact there's something wrong with her aunty." Andrea breathed out. Kirby asked nothing else. She reached out and held Carrie's lukewarm hand. Almost immediately, the door opened and Cheryl

The Forbes' Manor, New York"Ms. Forbes, the board of directors are worried about the sudden change of company ownership which you've stated is bound to happen." A man's voice came from the laptop before Elaine. Elaine pinned her eyes on the four men on her screen. Her silence was so deafening that the man who had spoken last, crosschecked his words in his head. "There's nothing to worry about, gentlemen. My daughter is a skilled business man. It won't surprise me if the first thing she does once she takes over the company is to change investors." Elaine replied, flashing a toothy smile at them. A knock sounded on her office door before it was pushed open. Then Presley's face appeared. Elaine didn't look at her immediately. But after a few minutes, she took her eyes towards her. "Andrea is here." Presley mouthed. Elaine first froze before she reached out and turned off her computer, cutting off the men she was in an executive meeting with. "What do you mean Andrea is here?

The Accardos Manor Gabriel was wheeled out of his room by one of his staffs that morning. He sat watching the early morning news while sipping his morning coffee when the door opened and Aindrea dragged a box into the living room. "The house didn't change one bit, daddy." She grinned, glancing around the house. The maids stared at her in surprise. Although this person looked a lot like Andrea, they couldn't help but notice the air of tenacity around her. "Don't be rude. Come help me with my bag." Aindrea beckoned onto one of the maids. The maid glanced towards Gabriel who had a stoic look on his face. "Where do I keep it?" "Andrea's room." Aindrea responded, her eyes pinned on her father. "We have other rooms, Aindrea. If you take over Andrea's room where would she stay once she's back?" Gabriel said his first word to her. Aindrea huffed and ignoring him, she ordered the maid, "Take everything belonging to Andrea down to the basement. She'll pick them up once she returns." "

Matrix Empire Gabriel stood before the podium clad in his usual black tuxedo. There were cameramen and news reporters in the room as well. Behind him was Aindrea and a few shareholders. "Mr. Accardo, regarding the announcement you made the other day, a lot of people keep asking why you kept the existence of your daughter a secret. Why did you expose one of your daughters to the public, but kept the other hidden away?" A male reporter asked. Gabriel blinked his eyes twice before responding, "My first daughter didn't want to be exposed to the public so soon. So I let her have her way. However, now that she is ready to deal with all these things, I do not mind telling the public anything and everything they need to know about her." "That being said, Mr. Accardo, doesn't that mean you'll leave your second daughter, Andrea Accardo without anything to her name if you hand over everything you have to your first daughter?" Another reporter asked. Aindrea's eyes quickly moved to the lou

The Forbes' Manor The next day Elaine walked down the stairs the next morning and straight to the dining room to see Andrea seated already and enjoying her breakfast. "I didn't know you were still around." "I'm not leaving until I find what I came for." Andrea stated, forking a pancake into her mouth. "Why do I have a feeling you're about to do something crazy? Maybe like, umm, snatch my empire from me?" Elaine chuckled, taking her seat opposite Andrea. "I have no business with your empire." Andrea thought she should clarify. "And you're not also upset that the more you hesitate to do what we talked about the other day, the more things you hold dear will keep getting snatched from you?" Elaine inquired, and raised her phone provocatively. She tapped a few things on it before sliding it over to Andrea. "Seen it?"Andrea dropped her fork and took up the phone. When she saw the heading of the news, she paused the video and slid it back to Elaine. "I watched the live broadcast.""
