After that episode.
Then, James walked up to Alex and put his hand on his shoulders before mockingly stating, “I am sorry I didn’t offer you share, and I know that’s hurt you.”
Alex’s eyes tightened and narrowed. He was aware that James would make him a laughing stock.
“James, I’m not joking. Don’t you dare pull me into this. Whatever you did, it wasn’t good, “Alex replied with a little head shake.
James: Oh my god.
James placed his hand down and laughed. He said, “I can’t believe this, Alex.”
James was astounded to observe Alex’s change. He couldn’t believe Alex was acting in such a way.
James’ point of view.
Interesting! It’s quite interesting! What am I hearing from Alex? I mean, really? The one who used to do a lot of crimes stays with me and helps me do all kinds of criminal activity, killing people, seizing other people’s land unlawfully, and now he’s stopping me, saying I did something wrong.
………..
James grinned and sat down on the couch. Then he stated it with the utmost care.
James: “What is wrong, Alex?”
Then he touched his lips and arched his brow, saying, “I see, did you forget the incident when you sent a guy to kill a 7-year-old kid’s parents?”
After saying this, James raised his eyes at Alex. He paused for a few moments before continuing to speak in a hushed, quiet voice.
James: Do you recall that you shot the child’s parents? You have made him an orphan.
Alex lowered his gaze after hearing him. His whole body was trembling. Ever since that day, he felt bad. Even though he made an effort to escape these dreary surroundings, he was unable. He was bound to this world in every way. If he departed this world, he would still have many enemies, so he couldn’t expect to live in peace. And right now, one was standing in front of him.
When he saw Alex in this situation, James got up from the couch and approached him. He placed his hand on Alex’s shoulder and said, “I will give you a 50% share, Alex.” Just consider it. You are not obligated to make a decision right away. Just explain it to me gently and calmly. “
Alex remained still while he listened to James.
Daniel’s room.
Daniel wasn’t answering the door as Maria repeatedly knocked on it.
Maria: Daniel, kindly open the door. Are you sleeping?
But she did not get a response. She nibbled her nails while lowering her eyes.
Maria’s point of view.
Is everything all right? Why is he not answering? Is he actually dozing off? Or perhaps he’s ignoring me.
…
Maria paused and glanced around to check if anybody was approaching. However, no one was making their way upstairs, so she gently tapped on the door and called out to Daniel.
Maria: Daniel.
…..
In the room.
Maria kept calling Daniel, but he was sternly seated on the bed. He didn’t even respond to her and neither didn’t open the door. His fury was visible in his expression.
Daniel’s point of view.
How could she and her father do such a thing? What do they think of themselves? Are they superior or do they govern everything? If her father is strong, so is my father. and Maria?
Daniel punched the bed as he tightly shut his lips and eyes.
How could Maria treat me like this? I was unaware that she had stabbed me in the back. I couldn’t see her actual personality underneath her grins.
“****,” Daniel mumbled.
……
The opposing viewpoint.
Diana poured water for Elise and said, “Did he hit you again?”
Elise was startled by Diana’s unexpected question. She dropped her gaze but didn’t say anything. Diana approached Elise and handed out the water glass when she saw her in this position.
Elise accepted the glass but didn’t drink it. Diana sat next to her and heaved.
Diana asked, “When will you say something about it?”
Elise exhaled loudly and replied, “If I say anything against him, you know what the consequences will be.”
Elise’s point of view
Diana, I am helpless. What can I do to oppose him? Nothing at all. I don’t want to be with him, but I’m still with him because of Maria. and I know, my daughter is just like her father. Nonetheless, I am making every effort to raise her to be a nice human being. I do not want her to be her daughter’s father. I can’t give up hope.
……
Elise raised her head and said somberly. Her worried gaze became darker.
Elise: His greed, power, and everything else are simply slowly consuming him.
Diana lowered her head as she listened to her. She wanted to assist Elise but was unable to do so. She was aware of Elise’s pain, but she lacked the words to soothe her.
Elise was holding Diana’s hand when she suddenly started speaking. She said, in a somber tone, “Diana, Maria likes Daniel.” Will you adopt Maria as your daughter-in-law? I know I am asking for too much. I know my daughter very well. But I’m still requesting that this be accepted. “
Diana feared opening her mouth as she listened to Elise. She took a deep breath and maintained eye contact with Elise.
Diana’s point of view.
What should I say at this point? This cannot be. I won’t let Maria be my daughter-in-law. I understand Elise’s sentiment. Because she is her mother, she will follow her daughter’s choices. But I am a mother as well. How can I treat my son poorly? Of course I can’t.
And Elise? She is my friend. I’m in a pickle right now. My friend’s request is on one side, and my son’s life is on the other.
I shrug and turn to face Elise.
Elise, I apologize, but I’m unable to honor my word. However, I won’t keep you in the dark or give you false optimism. I’ll tell you immediately what it is that I desire.
“Elise,” I murmured as I gripped her hands.
…..
Diana stopped briefly before saying, “Elise, I can’t do this.”
……
In Daniel’s bedroom.
Maria started knocking on his door and calling him by name. Daniel eventually opened the door and turned to face Maria. Maria was startled when Daniel abruptly opened the door.
“A-are you sleeping?” she stammered after forcing a smile onto her lips.
Daniel didn’t say anything, not even a single word. He merely kept his attention fixed on Maria. Maria arched her brow and called Daniel by name once more.
Maria: Daniel.
She simply shrugged. Daniel turned his attention away from her and entered his room. The way he behaved surprised Maria a bit.
Maria’s point of view.
When I saw Daniel in this state, I narrowed my eyes.
What’s the problem? I’ve never had this kind of attention from him. Is everything all right? He was OK with me this morning, so what changed for him to stop talking to me? Is he in a good mood? Or he fights with Sheetal again?
I smiled tightly-lipped as I began to think.
As long as they fight, it will be more advantageous to me. I’ll have a good chance. I smiled as I walked inside his room and then gradually closed the door behind me.
…..
Maria gladly stepped inside and asked Daniel.
Maria: Hey, how are you? How do you feel? Or are you thinking about something?
Daniel didn’t say anything back to Maria. His jaw was tightened, and his gaze was locked on the opposite side. Maria moved closer to Daniel and asked in a quiet, soothing voice after she received no response.
Maria: Did you two fight again?
When he heard her talking, Daniel sarcastically exclaimed, “Why do we fight Maria? We love one another. “
When she heard Daniel, Maria rolled her eyes. Daniel abruptly turned to her and said, his gaze fixed on Maria, “or do you truly want us to fight?”
Maria’s eyes became narrower as she furrowed her brows. She shook her head. “What did you say?”
Maria couldn’t believe Daniel would say something like that.
… ..
How could Daniel say such a thing? Does he have any doubts about me? What if Uncle Alex told him everything about how my father tried to ruin Sheetal’s career? Oh no! What should I do now? I’m not sure how much Uncle told him, though. Does he say I was the one who urged dad to take action against Sheetal?
……
Maria gasped and said, “What are you saying, Daniel?” ” Why should I be happy?”
Daniel approached Maria while grinning at her. Maria took a step back to move her gaze away from Daniel’s. Daniel stepped in front of her and asked in a bitter and raspy tone. His voice was sharp with rage.
Daniel: “Why did you do that with me and Sheetal? I told you I didn’t love you anymore, didn’t I?”
Marisa immediately raised her head and turned to face Daniel after hearing this. She couldn’t believe what Daniel had just said. “Daniel,” she said, in a hushed tone.
“Wh-why are you saying this,” she stumbled.
Daniel abruptly grabbed Maria’s arm tightly and yelled at her.
“How on earth could your dad want to ruin my Sheetal’s life?” “Who the hell are you thinking of yourself?” Daniel yelled angrily towards Maria.
Maria widened her eyes and said in a shocking tone, “Wh-what are you saying?”
Do not act as though everything is OK. I know everything. “You told your dad everything about Sheetal,” Daniel remarked.
Maria trembled as she heard Daniel’s. She lowered her head while firmly grasping her skirt. Daniel gave her a slight shove and said, “Listen Maria, I told you now I have no feelings for you, but if you and your dad attempt to impose your decision on me, I’m the last one who won’t spare you guys. If you guys are strong, we are strong too. Don’t forget about that. “
Damn! My eyes started to well up with tears. I have never experienced such a level of disrespect from anyone. You truly want to oppose me for that girl, Mr. Daniel, right? You stated you don’t want me anymore because of that girl.
I’ll break up your relationship with her and make you hate her just as much as you hate me, though, I, Maria swear to you.
But, in the moment, I must control this situation or it will slip from my grasp. I glanced up at him and replied, “Yes, I said to my father, but I didn’t urge him to expel Sheetal.”
…..
Daniel shook his head and grinned as he asked Maria, “Maria, do you take me as a 5-year-old kid?”
Maria clamped her lips in response to Daniel’s words. She was astounded by Daniel’s tone, manner of speaking, and actions toward her. She was already aware that Daniel would never trust him now.
Maria wiped away her tears and pushed open the door. Before walking out of his room, she turned back to look at him. Daniel was on the other corner of the wall. Daniel was also upset because he’d lost an old friend who was not only his friend but also his crush and lover.
Then Maria walked out of his room after seeing Daniel. Daniel heard the sound of the door closing.
Downstairs.
“Alex, with your help, I promise we can truly have Mexico and Italy. Albania, how about it? “Albania will be simple for us to conquer if we can overcome Musa.”
Next episode.
“Dad, I don’t want to be here for even a second.” “I have some urgent work to do,” Maria said. Her tone was dreary, and her expression was solemn.
James narrowed his eyes and asked, “Baby, are you okay?” Do you? “
But Maria interrupted her dad in the middle of his speech. “I want to go home right now,” she remarked.
To be continued.
