As they arrived at Harold’s place, Tom opened the door for Harold. His boss carried the young woman himself to the elevator, right to the fiftieth floor where his residence was. Harold brought Emily to his bedroom and laid her there. Then, he called his personal doctor, “Jim, come to my place now.”“You got it,” Doctor Jimmy Paterson said.After twenty minutes, the doctor came and examined Emily’s condition. He frowned a little, then stared at Harold. “I must have another test to ensure her condition.”“Hmm?”“Hold her. I’ll try to make her conscious.” Then the doctor took a tiny bottle of salve. “Help her sit.”

She took a deep breath and shook her head. “Harold, it’s not love. You—”But he stopped her by placing a finger to her lips. “No, my dear, it’s love. I’m a cold-hearted man. Some even doubt I have a heart.” He chuckled and shrugged. “I don’t blame them because sometimes I even think they’re right.”“No, it’s not true.” She shook her head and squeezed his hand. “You’re not cold-hearted. You’re so kind and nice.”This time, he laughed aloud until his head bent backward. “Oh, Emily! You’re the second person to tell me that.”“She is the first?” Harold nodded. “Yes.”

A huge table was prepared already. Arturo sat on the right while Al was on Arturo’s right. Jacob sat in Arturo’s prior position, at the head of the table. It was symbolic as they already knew the leader’s replacement, starting from Jacob’s failed wedding day. The Ames family (Al’s cousins and uncles) sat at a different table. Despite being the same blood, Arturo never considered them too high because he saw and acknowledged people based on their competence, not by blood. It was a trait that made Arturo highly respected by ten families who were under his leadership. On the primary table, other than Jacob, Arturo, Al, the head of ten families sat there. The Gold Cleaner comprised people from various countries, but they already lived in the capital of their country here and left their original nationalities. They shook han

Arturo went home first, but Jacob and Al continued their talk. Both of them sat in the living room of the Gold Cleaner’s headquarters with a glass of wine for each of them. “Have you found anything about Emily?” Jacob asked as Al was the one in charge to find news about Emily. “Nothing,” the younger man said. “It’s as if she vanished into the air. It’s weird that I already sent our men to nearby cities and towns. None of them reports anything yet.”Jacob blew his breath and shook his head. “Where is she …?” “Bro, you can find someone else. I know you don’t need more money.”“You know me better,” Jacob said

Both of them were quiet for a while because they thought about Arturo and his love for his late wife. Then Al let out a long sigh. “What?” Jacob asked.“I don’t want to be like my old man, you know.”“Why?”“Too serious with a woman, even after she died.” Al shook his head as he remembered his late mother. “It’s too intense. As if I would give too much power to a woman for the rest of my life, even after her death.”“But you see your father. He’s happy with his choice.”Al shrugged. “I don’t know, maybe, but I think it’s a torture to love someone so deep, to be hurt so
