Alric approached his bed, pulled the nightstand drawer and peered into the drawer. He took a picture at the bottom of the drawer. A photo of him when he was fourteen years old with twelve-year-old Alex.
Alric's father could never accept Alex's whereabouts. His father and mother were married because they were betrothed, a foolish way of maintaining and developing power by uniting two people who did not love each other. Then Alrico was born, after a year of his life, his mother became pregnant again. The second son who is the fruit of his love with the lover.
The two continued their marriage to hell. But not Adriano Lucca if it takes for granted the affair of the wife, the man who became his mother's lover ended in bankruptcy, his business was destroyed and slumped.
Alric's father did not want to embarrass him by carving out a divorce for the first time in his distinguished family history. Her mother was evacuated in a remote place until the time to give birth, and her son was handed over to a woman who was paid to take care of him.
Her mother lives and raises Alric with deep sadness at being separated from her son. Then as his mother's condition worsened, Adriano Lucca did not want to have a wife who was almost crazy, he finally allowed Alexandro to stay with them on the condition that they continue to use the name Morelli, the name of his mother's family.
Alex lives with them with big differences. A little boy who was treated very coldly by his father. Alex does whatever it takes to make his father happy, but none of Alex's actions satisfy him. Alric and Alex live in a mansion with very different treatment. The mother had been trying to balance giving her only care and affection for Alex, until she forgot she had two sons.
But Alric did not mind, he gave his mother completely to Alex. Alex is a fun boy, always comforting him amid the pressure he receives from his father. The burden of being the heir made Alric forged with great discipline and hard. Alex became his brother and most intimate friend. Staying together makes Alric and Alex very close.
Then when Alric had to continue his studies, Alex chose to leave the mansion. It is time to seek his own life. All the education that Alric got was not obtained by Alex. Her mother could not stop Alex. His sister went and lived alone. If you think about it at this time, Alric felt Alex stayed in the mansion because there was Alrico with him, But when Alrico went to continue college, Alex went along ....
Alric can't do anything while his father is alive. Everything is in his father's control. Alric could only set aside a portion of his allotment money to give to Alex each month. It went on for a few years, and then the news came to them. News that his sister is gone. Leave them all for good.
Alric was shocked to hear the news on that blind morning. He trembled and fell on the chair, shaking his hand at the phone and reopening the call history on his phone. When I woke up and checked my phone, I got an unanswered call from Alex. Because only once, Alric who fell asleep did not hear.
He stared at the screen and he didn't see it wrong. It was a call from Alex's number and this morning his sister was rumored to have left.
Adriano closes all the stories about Alexandro. Just come to Brightown hospital, pick up his body and do a funeral. Her mother's request to investigate Alex's death was not released, but her mother was locked up for weeks. Alric tried to move quietly, but his efforts were also thwarted. His powerful father made sure everything went according to his will and will.
For years Alric and his mother were under the control of his father, and the man fell ill. A heart attack that left him hospitalized for days and finally ... The strong, dashing and powerful Adriano Lucca is no longer able to resist fate, he breathes his last, freeing his wife and son from the entanglement of his control.
Alric took over everything and adapted quickly. But his father's company was very large and spread in several countries, new activities made him forget about Alexandro's death.
Until his mother came, said he had hired people to investigate Alex's death. But the man can't find the woman Alex was with on the last night of her life.
Woman named Marylin ....

Catalina is happy, her legs are perfect, even if they are slow and have to be careful, she can step up and walk as well as ever.
He approached Joanna, who was enjoying music near the pool.
"Yoan ...," call Catalina.
Yoana. Put his phone on a round table and smile.
"What's wrong? Leon's asleep?" ask Yoana. He glanced down as Catalina walked.
"I started training to walk without a buffer. It has to be slow and very careful" Catalina said, "yes, Leon is asleep. Ummmm... Can I talk to you about something?"
Joanna nodded, pointing at the seat next to her.
"About what? Your marriage?" ask her with a bright smile. Catalina laughed, then shook her head. He took a breath and turned his eyes to look at the sparkling pool water in the light of the lamp.
"It's about Mary .. It's been almost three months I haven't seen her. Can you help me? I want to see him."
Yoana looked at the pensive Catalina staring at the pond. The girl must have been worried, her relationship with Marylin who had just improved was tenuous because it was separated by distance and there was no communication. Joanna decides it's time she told him about Marylin's contract with Alrico Lucca.
"Lina .. Do you remember when you were in Rodrigo's custody? That's when Claude and Vincent can find you fast."
Catalina frowned, wondering why Yoana was alluding to Rod's matter. But he just nodded, silently waiting for Yoana to continue.
"What! You mean ...."
"Yes,Lina. Me and Claude took Mary off. Mary and Serge agree to work for the man. When viewed from some photos and videos that have begun to circulate, they seem to be a great success. Shooting is done in different countries. Now your brother and Serge are traveling the world."
"Thus ... Mary did it for me?"
"Yes. At first I was worried because my instincts told me that Lucca had hidden intentions. But my worries seem unreasonable. I've met Rosalie. One of the actresses who worked with Mary. He's back and telling me if their job was a success and Mary's really busy there."
"Is this Lucca a good person?"
"I don't know him, Lina. Just know if he's one of the billionaires who inherited the giant company his family owns."
"Can you call Mary?"
Yoana shaking. "No. Serge neither does."
Catalina. "Can't we have them call him. I mean .. You know this guy, you met him. Can't ask him to help us? I want to talk to Mary."
Joanna stretched out her hand, clasping Catalina's hand.
"You know ... I have a better idea. We're the ones who came to Mary. Not just talking on the phone. But we need to know where the shooting session is right now. So wait for me to investigate where they are."
Catalina smiled happily and nodded enthusiastically.
"In the meantime, keep training your feet, you need to walk well when we go to see Mary. As soon as we go on vacation. Leon also took us. But there's one thing you need to remember ...."
"Yes?" Catalina waited impatiently.
"Don't let this plan sound Vincent. I want to be alone first. So don't let him know, or he'll come with us."
Catalina nodded.
"And don't let Claude know because he's going to forbid you from leaving. Claude is waiting for you to heal so you can get married. He won't let us go anywhere."
Catalina nodded her head repeatedly.
"We're going on a quiet vacation. It's just me, you, Leon and Nanny." said Joanna.
Catalina smiled broadly. "I'm curious, Yoana. How Vincent can be away from you. He'll be very agitated. I think it's very necessary to do something that makes him want to cross that limit he made himself. Which prevents you from being together ...."
"I doubt it, Lina. But it's not wrong to try, is it?" Joanna winked. Makes Catalina laugh.
