"What?!" Lea blurted out when she heard Kira's story.

She went to the Villa to visit Kira.

The two of them talked about the development of the investigation about the attack on Kira a few months ago.

"Whoa!"

"Those father and daughter were scary!"

"The two of them tried to set you up!" Lea said with her eyes wide opened.

"Why are they so desperate to get rid of you?!" Lea couldn't help but wonder.

Kira sigh!

"Gaile hated me when she was still alive."

"As a father, it is normal for Mr. Fuente to take the side of his daughter, maybe he also hated me because Gaile hates me," Kira said.

"Oh come one!"

"Do they really need to ruin you ?!"

"Hating someone is not a reason to harm them!" Lea commented.

"Lea, not all people have the same thoughts as you,"

"Mr. Fuente might have also blamed me for Gaile's suicide," Kira said, she couldn't find any reason why on earth would he hate her!

"Why would he blame someone for his daughter's suicide?!"

"It is her choice to end her life!"

"It wasn't your fault!" Lea insisted.

"I know," Kira replied.

"Oh!" Lea touches her head, "I hate those people who would blame anyone for their mistakes!"

"Mr. Tan, I've got all the information that you asked for," Leonard said.

"Good," Tim replied.

Leonard takes a seat in front of Tim's table.

"Mr. Fuente has been gambling for a year now," Leonard spoke.

"He has an addiction to gambling to the point that he sold some of his properties just to sustain his gambling."

Tim leaned to his swivel chair, he put his elbow on the armrest and swung his swivel from left to right.

"And this is where he and Chase met?" Tim asked.

"Yes, Mr. Tan," Leonard replied.

"Mr. Fuente lent a big amount of money from Chase, " He added.

Tim stopped swinging his swivel chair, "He lent a big amount of money from Chase," he repeated.

"This explains the reason why he deposited a big amount of money to Chase's bank account." He mumbled.

"Are there any other pieces of information you've gathered?" Tim asked Leonard again.

"Have you seen Mr. Fuente recently?" he added.

"No, Mr. Tan, I haven't seen him in the casino for a week now," Leonard replied.

"Oh," Tim blurted out.

'He is already hiding," Tim thought.

'Hide wherever you can hide Mr. Fuente!'

'I can still find you!'

-------

It was already late when Tim got home.

Kira is still waiting for him in the living room.

Kira gets up from the couch when she heard a car's engine.

She opened the front door and headed to the garage where Tim parked his car.

"Hey!" Kira greeted Tim as soon as he gets off the car.

Tim revealed a wide smile when he saw his wife, "Hey, sweetheart!" He approaches her and kissed her lips. " Have you eaten your dinner?" he asked sweetly.

"Ennn..." Kira nodded, "How about you?" She asked back.

"Oh, I am done, I'm sorry if I come home late, " He apologized.

"It's alright, I know that you're busy managing the company, " Kira replied.

Tim stared at his wife with a faint smile on his face.

Seeing his wife make him feel enlightened!

He felt like all his tiredness has gone away.

But Tim's faint smile faded when Mr. Fuente's word suddenly echoed into his mind!

'I am the culprit behind the attack on your wife and I am not done yet!'

Kira notices Tim's sudden change of expression, " Why?" she asked.

Tim did not say a word, he just pulled Kira into his embrace.

'I'm sorry if I put your life in danger,' Tim secretly said.

He thought that Mr. Fuente's anger towards Kira was all because he married her.

He doesn't know that there is another reason why Mr. Fuente hates Kira!

Tim and Kira went upstairs.

Kira went to bed.

She pick up a book at the bedside table.

She leaned on the headboard and started reading the book.

Tim sits beside Kira, " Sweetheart, can we talk?" Tim asked.

"About what?" Kira asked with her gaze still on the book.

"The..." Tim seems like he is having second thoughts.

"Still about the accident," he said after a while.

He wants to talk about it because he wants to slowly tell Kira about his father's dark secret.

Kira shifted her gaze to Tim, "Why you seemed so interested in that accident?" she asked.

"Uhm," Tim gulped!

'Because I want to tell you something!'

'I already had a lot to think, I feel so bothered and I don't know what to think first!' Tim thought but he never dares to speak it out.

"Uhm, I just want to ask, what if..." Tim paused as he turned his gaze to Kira.

"What if?" Kira waited for Tim to continue.

"W-What if there is someone else who is involved during that accident?"

Kira blink her eyes a few times, "Why did you suddenly ask that?"

"Uhm..." Tim pulled back his gaze, " I just want to know your reaction," he said.

"Well, if someone is involved with that accident, I just hope that they did not lose their loved ones during the accident, as I do," Kira said.

"But what if..."

"What if the one who is involved was the reason for the accident?" Tim asked again.

Kira froze, and then she looked at Tim with her puzzled look, " Where did you get that idea?" she asked.

"Ah," Tim revealed a forced smile, " I was just thinking, what if it wasn't a driver's error?"

"What if it was not your father's fault why you guys got into an accident."

"What if there's another car hit your family's car, but the driver choose to run away because he was afraid to go to jail?"

"What will you do then?" Tim continued to ask.

Kira closes the book that she's reading.

She faces Tim and speaks, "I will find that person and I will make him pay for running away from his sin." Kira said straight forward.
