"All right, thanks Em. Go back to your room." Emma nodded respectfully and left Luna alone in her room.

"Ag, why didn't you tell me that Luna was married." Stefan, who had just arrived at Ellard's residence in Canada, was riled up.
"I don't know exactly when Luna got married. Papa just told me when I already had a nephew," replied Aglen accordingly. But the man was honest with his answer.
Ellard did give him news when Luna gave birth to Elea. The father reasoned that if there was no special celebration or festive party, just an ordinary wedding.
It is strange indeed, seeing the status of Luna is the only daughter of the Efrain family. But it all goes back to Luna herself. Maybe this is his personal request to his father.
"So, no celebration?"
"No. Just family. I wasn't even invited. Looks like Papa knows I don't like my step-sister." A wry smile of Aglen adorned his lips.
"What are you doing here yourself? A vacation? Didn't uncle William exile you in Italy?" aglen brought two glasses of red liquid from his father's small bar. Then leave one of them to the cousin.
"I am not exiled. There is little expansion that Papa wants in the country" Stefan replied, chugging down a drink Aglen had given him.
"But even what you're doing is more than expansion. You also set up your own new company that became a giant there." Aglen patted the back of Stefan who was standing staring at the window. "You're great, I never doubted!" praise Aglen honestly.
Stefan smiled a little. Yes, he is great but not with his personal life.
For so long there, no woman could tease him. I don't know, she who is known as a female player in her own country, actually became a proud and difficult figure in the plural of her personal life.
Moreover, besides being famous for pizza and beautiful tourist attractions, Italy is also famous for its beautiful women. And apparently, none of that could attract the attention of a handsome, established man like Stefan
The man had to pay for everything he had achieved this time for so many years, only to follow the wishes of the father. Satisfying the man he made a role model in his business life.
Stefan proved himself. That he was worthy, being the only son of William Efrain who would certainly be the sole heir of all the firstborn riches of the Efrain family.
"Where are you going?"
"Getting my beautiful niece at school, wanna come?" aglen, who knows nothing at all, if Stefan's heartbeat beats fast, hears the word "beautiful niece".
"Emm .. maybe next time," rejected Stefan, he became doubtful of himself.
"Rest! You look so tired." Aglen patted the cousin on the shoulder. Then leave him.
Stefan exhaled a rough breath. Tired is the heart, and all because of the contents of the little chip that Toretto handed him yesterday.
Back flash.
After Toretto died, Stefan did not also move from the small shop that began to be rather quiet.
The man cradled a clear box containing black slabs given by the detective he hired, Daniel Toretto.
He was afraid to know something, but he was also curious about the life of the woman he had taken her purity. The woman who even every night disturbs her subconscious all this time.
The guilt is rooted now. Stefan doesn't even know what he has to do to make amends. While Luna balked at everything related to her. Especially since Luna decided to go to school and finally lived in Canada.
Click!
He slowly opened the small transparent box, then took the black flat chip which he immediately put into one part of his phone.
Toretto is no detective. Even all the information he packed as much detail as possible accompanied by accurate and irrefutable evidence.
Luna is married to Adam Walton, the eldest son of Sebastian Walton. He was a businessman who almost went bankrupt because of his own actions. And until now Sebastian's company is still operating even though it has not experienced significant growth. Of course, all that can not be separated from the help of the son, Adam.
Did the uncle really close the news about his daughter? Luna's request or....?
Stefan snorted loudly, then the man restored his coarse hair. The riled feeling that slipped in his heart really made him sick. It was like a broken heart.
After he completes the task of his father, he plans to expose all his past deeds and take responsibility for it. But it seemed like everything had to go extinct before he even struggled.
Adam and Luna had a child. Little girl named Elea, who was born after four months of their marriage.
Sorry, Mister. I'm acting out of your will. I suspected something and I did. Elea was not the son of Adam Walton.
I've checked it out. (There is a copy of the file about the mismatch of DNA tests between Eleanor Ellard Walton and Adam Walton).
The deg!
Stefan suddenly sweated, his hands shaking until his phone fell under the table.
A moment later, the man limply picked it up.
Flash back off.

"El!"
"Uncle!" The little girl smiled happily seeing Aglen waving at her. He ran away from the nanny at his school to get close.
"Uncle misses you so much." The curly-haired, pigtailed man touched his little nephew's nose, then carried him in his arms.
"Where are we going?" whispered Elea who was embracing Aglen from the right side. Her happy smile did not fade.
"Go home, but to grandpa's house. Elea was alone with the nanny's mother" Aglen said.
The little girl complied. He yelled calling his nanny's mother at school to say goodbye, then waved his hand and thanked her.
"You're happy Uncle's here?" aglen asked the niece who was sitting next to him.
"of course. Uncle always takes the streets every time Uncle visits. I always look forward to Uncle," Elea replied honestly.
The little girl escaped her gaze back out after answering her.
"You can hang out with your mom and daddy every weekend, honey."
"Daddy is a lot busy, El many accompanied by Mama if you are on vacation." The little girl pursed her lips.
"Ehh .. don't be sad. Uncle didn't come here to see you pout, honey." Aglen stroked the niece's black mane. Then pulled the little girl into his lap.
Unique interactions, along the way Aglen accompanies the little girl who is good at singing. Every now and then, the man followed the song of Elea, which even the lyrics were just the back of it.
Understandably, the man who can not be said to be young is of course already forgotten the songs of his childhood. It's all mixed up with memorization and numbers.
Aglen did not like Luna, but what she felt was different when she saw Elea. For some reason, Aglen felt pity and pity with him.
She did not want her little niece to feel what Luna was feeling. Less the most important man in his life, the father.
Aglen promised himself to always remind Adam to spend more time with the child.
