Noel was softly groaning in pain. He was trying hard to stay awake, but Faith and Levi could see that they were slowly losing consciousness. Levi was driving the jeep with his gun resting on his lap, while Faith sat on the back with Noel’s head on her lap. She also had a gun in her hand. They have gotten very close to the village, and they haven’t run into more trouble. They did meet a few of the guards along the way, but they were all Mateo and Kai’s men. They asked Levi if he needed their help, but Levi declined. He doesn’t trust anyone now. They could be with enemies. It would be better if they didn’t come with him. “How is he doing?” Levi asked, glancing through the rearview mirror at Faith. Noel’s blood had already spread through the seat. She was holding a towel against the bullet wound, which was now soaked in his blood. Her hands were covered with it as well, and there was a little bit of it on her shirt. She gulped worriedly and met his eyes through the mirror, “Not good,”

Kai couldn’t believe his eyes. His brother. His own twin was standing with a gun over his head. The idea of his brother being his enemy petrifies him. He already lost his sister to this world of crime, and now Dario. He was the only one Kai has who was willing to stay away from this world, and now here Dario is wanting to kill his own brother, the one he always cared for. Kai squinted his eyes, thinking of any possibility that this man is not Dario. “Dario, how can do this?” Kai muttered. The will to fight just left his body, leaving a very disoriented man. Dario/Jeremy chuckled humorlessly, “You are one person I thought would understand.” He shook his head, “You have lost so much in your life and you are still asking me this question? I am disappointed, Kai.” He clicked his tongue. “Anyway, since you don’t care, I should waste my time explaining anything to you. My motive is simple, end this all.” He gritted his teeth. “This all needs to end. Everyone who can carry Ricci and Bianchi

(Flashback to Dika and Faith’s Meeting)“I never liked Aldo. She deceived my daughter and started a family back in the city, But still, I don’t think he is the one that killed Karina.” Dika spoke out her fears. “I didn’t know much that happened between him and Karina, but from what she used to tell me – she was happy with him. He was keeping her very happy. She once wrote to me and in that letter, she said that she trusts Aldo and that he treats her so well. I still have those letters,” Dika added. Faith felt conflicted. She doesn’t know how to react. She was still trying to process that her mother wasn’t just Aldo’s mistress as she was told. She was married to Aldo. Faith held the pictures in her hands as evidence. Her mind went to Aurora Ricci, Mateo’s mother. She looked at Dika, “Dika, have you ever met Aurora?” She asked. Dika heaved a sigh, “Briefly, only once. That too a long time ago, even before Karina and Aldo got married. She seemed like a decent lady, a little proud, but

“Where are we going to find Jeremy?” Faith asked Mateo, as the two of them were sitting still on a big rock near a hollow steep. They had their eyes on the ocean that shone under the setting sun. They weren’t looking at each other. A lot changed in a matter of minutes between them. They are not addressing them now. They both are completely drained. “I don’t know,” Mateo muttered. Faith looked at her interestingly. He is the man who always has an answer but now here he sat beside her with no clear answer to give. She looked at him closely. The man hasn’t slept. He hasn’t eaten. He looks tired, but not just physically. He is just as mentally drained as physically. He felt her eyes on him. He turned his head to look at her. She had a small scar on the top of her eyebrow. He clicked his tongue and brought his hand to her eyebrow. He traced his dirty thumb under the scar, making sure he doesn’t touch the open wound, “You got hurt.”She faintly chuckled, “Look who is talking.” She shook he

Piper was angrily striding out in the dark, but her anger couldn’t hold the impact because Faith was following her. Piper was already furious with Kai and Faith following her wordlessly wasn’t making it any easy for her. Piper halted and jerked her head around to see Faith stopping as well, a few feet away from her. She glared at Faith, “I don’t need anyone to follow me, Faith. Leave me alone. I don’t want you or anyone else coming after me.” She hotly said and resumed her walk towards nowhere. “Piper, come on, please – listen to me. You have every right to be mad at Kai, but what did I do? Why are you so mad at me?” Faith didn’t stop following her. Piper stopped walking, almost making Faith bump into her. She didn’t turn around, so Faith walked around to face her. Piper had a deep scowl on her face, “Seriously, I am as mad at Kai as you are. I would love to kick his ass with you, but at the same time, I know he didn’t mean it, Piper. He is just in a very difficult state. I am tellin
