​Carolina remained deeply disturbed by her discovery in the west wing, but her immediate concern was Justin. Seeking a distraction, she took up a hobby she had long admired: crocheting. ​She sat in a plush armchair in the library, the rhythmic clicking of her needles echoing softly. Beside her, Justin was engrossed in his own world, playing with a set of paints. For a moment, there was peace. However, when Carolina snapped back to reality and looked down, she gasped. Justin had turned himself into a colorful clown, paint smeared from ear to ear. ​"Oh my God! Justin, what have you done?" she cried, though a small smile tugged at her lips as she scooped him into her arms. He only laughed, punctuating his joy by stamping a wet, painted palm directly onto her face. ​"You want Adrian to kill me, don't you?" she whispered in the lowest tone possible, her heart fluttering with a mix of affection and dread. ​She was approaching the door to clean him up when it swung open. It was the

~​Dawson Mansion ​Dawson leaned back in his leather chair, a glass of whiskey in hand as he watched the television. ​"Breaking news!" the reporter announced. "Earlier this morning, real estate tycoon Adrian Moretti was taken into custody. He is the prime suspect in a cold case involving the murder of his late wife, Lily Moretti, and, Mr. Dawson's late wife, Mrs. Juliet Dawson. While investigations are ongoing, the public is reeling from the details surfacing about the billionaire's private life..." ~​Moretti Mansion ​"...But perhaps the most shocking revelation," the broadcast continued, "is the discovery of a five-year-old child hidden away in the west wing of the Moretti estate. Sources claim the boy has been kept from the public eye since birth..." ​Carolina watched the screen, her face pale. She turned to the butler. "How? How did they find out about Justin?" ​"There is a snake in this house," the butler replied grimly. "Someone planted here specifically to watch for a we

~Moretti Mansion Adrian stood in the room with the maid while she still held the files in her hand "I always knew something was off about you" he said, closing the distance between them. "So what? You don't scare me" she said, taking off the mask of a maid "Who sent you?" He asked "That doesn't matter" she said and dropped the files "I wasn't expecting you to get out so soon" she said and folded her arms "You really have a way of ruining things, don't you?" She asked "You were the one who poisoned Justin and framed the other maid, right? You also went into the..." "Since everything has come to light now, I guess..." She paused when the doors flew open. Carolina walked in "I knew I wasn't wrong" she said, her red eyes fixed on the maid "You. You're really a case. Your father sure must be regretting he has a daughter like you. " She said "I would've dealt with you but I don't hit women..." He said and Carolina closed the distance between them, delivering a tearing slap ac

DAWSON MANSION ​Dawson walked into the garden and met Dubois seated ​“I wasn’t expecting you” he said ​“You never do, but it’s okay” he kept his gaze away from Dawson ​“What you did to that bratty CEO, I like it” he nodded with a faint smile ​“I’m glad” Dawson replied ​“Was your daughter the one behind Moretti’s release?” he asked, his fingers circling around the tip of the glass of wine ​“Unfortunately” Dawson admitted ​Dubois dropped the glass and glared at Dawson ​“That daughter of yours is starting to get in my way, don’t you think?” he asked ​“I’m sorry about that, I’ll bring her to order” his gaze was fixed on the glass on the table ​Dubois laughed ​“You’re not usually like this. What makes you think you can call her back to order? Sooner or later, she’d be as dangerous as Moretti himself” he remarked ​“You should know now, you’re not just facing Moretti but also your daughter” he said and got up. ​“Step it up, Dawson” he said and walked away without further discus

Adrian and Carolina bolted off in Adrian's car as the sirens blared at a faint distance. Carolina looked back and smiled "We did it" she said and looked at Adrian who seemed angry. His arm bled from a cut "Is something wrong?" She asked "Why did you do that?" He asked, his hands tightened on the steering wheel "Do what?" "You could have left he file, okay? You didn't have to run where bullets were flying" he said "You could just say thank you, why scold me?" She looked out the window, displeased. They arrived back at the mansion and Carolina got out first. Adrian got out "Where is the flash?" He asked and a smile formed on her face "Safe" she said His gaze fell to her bleeding palm and bruised knee "Why'd you rush in? You didn't have to risk your life for it" he said "Oh well, you were tied up with other men and i was doing nothing.. What were you expecting me to do?" She looked at the floor "Here" she gave him the blood stained envelope "Did I do well?" She asked and
