Revenge And Desire of The Mafia
63. The Faithfulness Tested

Three days later,

The atmosphere in the Evans family residence was suddenly crowded with many journalists who came after the announcement of the arrest of Eric Evans for all the crimes he had committed. Eleanor was sitting limp on hearing her son enter the television news headlines.

Tight care was taken in the house. Dixon asked his men to look after Evans' family. The men, however, are innocent and have no idea about the crimes Eric committed.

Lolita breaks into the crowd at the Evans family home. Authorities let Lolita in knowing she was the house's daughter-in-law.

Lolita walked over to Eleanor who was sitting with Elza and Erica. The middle-aged woman looked at Lolita with a peaking glint of anger.

Eleanor got up from her seat and approached Lolita.

THE PLAQUE!

A slap he slapped at his son-in-law.

"This must be you! You're the one who got Eric arrested! You're the one who reported it!" shouted Eleanor.

"I'm sorry, ma'am." said Lolita.

"Is this your reply after Eric didn't leave you because you're barren now? You are the same as your best friend!" continued Eleanor.

"I'm sorry, Mother. I have to do this. Eric killed a lot of people. I can't let him continue to commit his crimes" Lolita said.

"But he's your husband! And he's my only son!" Eleanor was starting to run out of breath. Tight chest. Now he must lose his proud son.

Elza led Eleanor to rest in her room. He asked Erica to take his mother.

Elza comes to Lolita.

"Sister should get out of here. The presence of a sister will only make the condition of the mother worse. He's still in shock about all this."

Lolita nodded. "I understand, Elza. Again I'm sorry. I hope you understand."

Lolita turned around and walked out of the house.

Dixon went to the reporters who still needed an explanation from him. After he announced the arrest of Eric and his allies, Dixon had to re-expose the astonishing facts.

Dixon stood before the reporters.

"Actually the arrest of Eric Evans coincided with the arrest of a notorious mobster named Eldric Albana. Also known as El-Black. A fire in the warehousing area of Rio de Jeneiro has killed him. We only found this among the buildings that had become ashes."

Dixon showed me a ring. The reporters were whispering about what the ring was.

"This is Eldric's wedding ring. There's a name engraved on this ring." Dixon examined the ring carefully.

"Eryn. The name is engraved on this ring. And with this, El-Black's case was declared closed because he died.Thank you."

Dixon immediately walked into the US-SS office and let the news-seekers wonder about what happened with Black.

In the other hemisphere, Eryn was stunned to see the news that his father had deliberately shown. His body was stiff and only tears kept flowing soaked his smooth cheeks.

"Son, strengthen your heart." said Mr. Kim.

"No! That's not possible! El can't die!" mummified Eryn.

His body slid to the floor. Now sadness was covering her heart.

"This must be just a dream" said Eryn.

"Son, let's go to the room. You need to rest" persuaded Mr. Kim.

Eryn remained unmoved on the floor. It felt like half of his soul had gone somewhere.

Kang Joon who came to Mr. Kim's house immediately approached Eryn.

"Come on! Don't make Dad and Noah sad" Joon said gently by tapping Eryn's body into his room.

Eryn sat on the edge of the bed.

"He's back, Joon," said Eryn.

"He left me again." Her tears continued to flow with a blank look in her eyes.

Joon looks at the woman in front of him. He sat down next to Eryn.

"For the number of times he's left me, Joon. He always leaves me..."

Joon who could not bear to see Eryn's condition then pulled the woman's body in his arms. Eryn was crying loudly in Joon's chest. The man clenched Eryn's body.

"Cry as much as you, Eryn. Then after this you should be happy. Don't be sad anymore. I will always be there for you..."

Rose was still confined to her room after hearing the news of her brother's death from the news on television. No one could explain to him what had really happened that day.

Carlos opened the door and saw Rose still sitting on the edge of the bed. He approached Rose and grabbed the girl's hand.

"Yes, I'm here."

"What's true on television? Is it true that my brother is dead?" ask Rose with teary eyes.

Although the girl tried to dismiss all the slanted news regarding her brother's death, but there was still a bit of unease if all of that was true.

"Carlos! Please tell me the truth!" pinta Rose's.

"My brother's alive, right? He must be hiding somewhere. Don't you?" continued Rose.

"I don't know, Rose." replied Carlos.

Rose let go of Carlos' hand.

"Get out!" scream Rose.

"Rose..."

"Get out!" shouted again.

With a deep sense of regret, Carlos walked out of Rose's room and closed the door.

After Carlos died, Rose held his chest that hurt. He would not believe everything people said about his brother.

Suddenly Rose's phone shook. Rose fingered the nightstand and took her phone.

Without knowing who was contacting her, Rose answered the incoming phone call.

"Hello.." replied Rose.

"Hello, Rose. How are you?"

Rose was stunned to hear a voice that was familiar to her.

"Ka..grandfather..." Rose's voice shook.

"Don't cry."

"Sister is alive?"

"Look, don't tell anyone this. I just want you to know if I'm okay."

"But why... Everyone says you're dead?"

"One day I'll explain everything to you. Now, you have to live well. You'll see again soon."

"Where are you?"

"I can't tell you. Take good care of yourself, Rose. Be happy with Carlos. He's a good guy. And most importantly, he always loved you. Goodbye, Rose."

"Sister!" rose exclaimed, but the phone connection was turned off by the caller.

Lolita meets Eric in a special room filled with strict guard. Only Lolita is allowed to see Eric because of her status as Eric's wife.

They sit facing. Lolita looked at the shabby-looking Eric in convict clothes.

"How are you?" ask Lolita.

"I didn't think you'd come here. Isn't this what you wanted?" reply Eric flat.

Lolita. "I just want you to stop."

"Now I've stopped. What else do you want? Better not see me again."

"No, Eric. I'm not leaving you. I'll wait until you make up for all your mistakes." Lolita looked at Eric with teary eyes.

"I'm not getting out of here, Lolita. I'll be put to death."

"Then I'll wait until then." Lolita's tears flowed after saying so.

"thank you. Now home! Please take care of my mother and family."

Lolita felt a deep sadness. Two guards came into the room and took Eric out.

Lolita was still inside and crying. Dixon approached the woman.

"You are a strong woman. You can definitely deal with this," said Dixon.

Lolita wiped her tears and then moved out of her chair. His feet stepped out of the US-SS office. There are still many journalists waiting for his arrival to ask for information from him. But Lolita did not budge at all and went straight into his car.

From a distance Dixon watched Lolita being raided by reporters.

"You know, Ray. At times like this, one's loyalty is being tested. Whether he'll stay with his loved ones, or leave him instead" Dixon said, patting Ray on the shoulder.
