"Vanessa!" Francisco scream. Brandy stood beside her. He had recovered already.

"The business was long bankrupt. Where did the employees go?" She asked him. Brandy was a spy in Francisco's business as a janitor. They were both undercover there and he carelessly show them that he was a spy to EPUA so they could both take Francisco to Sabrina. Francisco's businesses has been bankrupt all of it.

Gabriel work with them and he took it down one by one just as what Sabrina wished. But Sabrina is still sleeping and none of them could wake her up. It's been a month and Veronica is drinking every afternoon sitting on her throne in the dungeon area where they torture people.

"I didn't protect her." Veronica said trying to blame herself.

"Try to visit her." Brandy told her. Veronica can't sleep at night though Tony would work her out.

"What does she know?" She asked. "Sabrina would sketch it if she witness something but it was too rash that she got ambushed. She got ambush by who? Would her grandfather do that to her?"

"If her grandfather was selfish and heartless—he would But Ezekiel loves her. We can see how he dotes on her and protect her. He even block Gabriel from the facility in Virginia." Brandy said trying to pick up the pieces so they would find a solution in the main problem.

"Ezekiel is hiding something." Veronica concluded. "That's why he was hiding Sabrina back then. But since Gabriel is the husband and the legal guardian… Ezekiel had to step back. We have to find out what Sabrina knows."

"How?"

"I don't know. If we spy on Ezekiel he would know since he has lots of eyes around us. Maybe we should take this problem one by one. Let's take down Eros first. Did you find a lead on where he is?"

"Oh him?" Brandy snorted. "He's been hiding after he got a treat from the Dark Lord." He chuckle. "He ask me about Catriona's location and I gave him a false info and settled a villa that has Cat's traces so he would be led to something else. But unluckily—someone really knows Catriona's location at that moment that made thea.s.sa.s.sins go after her."

"My grandfather's a.s.sa.s.sins are high cla.s.s. They are good at sniffing. But they lack plan." She said. "Even Ivanov can't hurt Catriona. I am sure of that." She sipped on her wine.

"How?" Brandy ask as he sipped on the cognac. "How sure are you? Did you take over your grandpa's empire?"

"No. I don't have to."

"But you are their queen."

"Sure, I am…" She finish her gla.s.s and pour herself another. Brandy look at her.

"Don't you want a simple life?"

"I do. I am about to marry a Lawson." She lifted her left hand. Brandy chuckle.

"d.a.m.n, where can I find a bride? Everyone is getting married."

"Why don't you marry Whiskey?" Veronica tease. Brandy laugh out loud. Sure, their brother's bonding was like a bromance.

"Whiskey has a d!ck. Okay? I need a Not the—" a hand comes from his back and hit him on his head.

"I also need a peanut not a hotdog!" He said and he pats Veronica. "How's my sweetheart doing?"

"Celebrating. How many days has it been since I capture my b.a.s.t.a.r.d father?"

"I am not counting but I guess it's long. Sabrina has too much sleep. Wake her up. I am getting bored." He said.

Veronica smirk. She was getting bored as well. She wanted to start the torture. Sylvia who has been bullying her for being bad in taekwondo was getting bored in her cell. She do pushups and stretch like she's about to leave there.

Then her father couldn't walk because of the wounds she gave him. Aw, she's enjoying this. She might be a heartless daughter but Francisco made her like this. The way he killed her mother was still fresh in her mind. Her ever so loving mother who taught her good things.
