The Sugar Daddy Heritage
Avan Involved?

Revan said in a voice trembling in fear, “please give me time. I will provide the money!”

Prangs! The Bercodet man again hit a nearby display jar with a golf stick. Liana screamed again. The man then glanced at the rest of the other people who were his men. With a single nod he gestured to attack Revan.

The other four men in the back, pulled the rough hands of Revan. Without warning, their raw bogem lay on Revan's face. The poor man fell down, fresh blood pouring out of his mouth. His suffering is not over. The big-bodied brutes thrust punches and kicks into Revan's body mercilessly. Ten minutes was like a hundred years that hurt Revan. He has no power against them. Liana could only scream and cry seeing her husband being shoved helplessly.

“Enough! It's not time he died. We'll release it today.” The Bercodet man stepped closer to Revan. He crouched down to stare at Revan with a disdainful look. “Your time until next week. We'll be back in the same day and hour to get the money. Don't try to escape! You know we're everywhere watching your every move!”

Finished ruining a few more pieces of furniture, they passed away, leaving the battered Revan on the floor and the hysterically crying Liana.

“Revan ..” Liana crawled closer to Revan. “How can this all happen? What the hell's going on? Who are those guys? Do we have to call the police?” her tanyanya panicked interspersed with sobs.

Revan glared while blocking Liana's hand. “You fool! Do you want them to kill us? Don't let the police know. You don't know who they are.” Revan frowned holding onto his aching stomach. He spat out blood.

“Revan!” Liana helped him up, looking very worried to see Revan's condition. “I'll call doctor.”

“No need Liana! I don't need a doctor. All I need is money! A lot of money!”

“How much do you need, Darling?” Liana looked at Revan anxiously. Considering the damage that those people had done and their vile demeanor, Liana could guess that the number must have been no small amount.

“Five Billion.” Revan said softly.

“What?” Liana covered her mouth with her hands. The numbers Revan mentioned made him shocked. That's enough money to build another new business. But what has Revan done until he needs the money?

“Liana, my dear, please help me, please? I don't want to die yet, Liana,” Revan is begging in Liana's lap.

“A-what can I do? Where did I get that much money?” Liana stammered.

“Your father, he must have left a considerable legacy for you right? Stocks, companies, you can sell them a little. Please, the time is just a little while away.”

“But the company I'm managing is also in crisis. We also have a debt that we have to pay. Almost all valuable assets we have made bank guarantee.” Liana said gamang.

“Your brainplay is Liana, I'm sure you can find a way for us.” Revan squeezed Liana's shoulder.

Liana gave a long sigh. Throbbing head. He has done everything he can. Everything! Even the things he thought he couldn't possibly do, he did. For Revan?

“Referee Papi's letter will be read the day after tomorrow,” said Liana, “we still have time, Revan. Like you said, I'll sell some of Papi's estate. Five M is big, but it is not impossible we get.”

“Ya, day after tomorrow. The day after our problems will be solved. I believe in you, Liana. I love you.” Revan grabbed Liana and kissed her lips. “Ouch! Those fucking people hurt my lips. Oh, Beb, when I want to kiss your beautiful lips.”

***

At the police station Hendrik gets a surprise while checking the financial statements of the Johan family company. The numbers in front of him looked strange. Whatisthis? A transfer of shares to Vania? Deficit in Liana's company?

Obviously Vania had the most advantage, so what made her kill Johan? Love problems? A betrayal? A grudge? Not likely. Johan and Vania have just started a serious love affair between the two of them, despite their age being as much adrift as children and parents.

What is the motive of money? But didn't Vania already get much from Johan. Jobs, even shares. It makes no sense if he should kill her now. Could Vania be framed? Ah, if he can find the security officer who disappeared, he might be able to connect this hassle.

Hendrik thought again. Vania, who would hate him? With his current lifestyle, no wonder if there are only people who will hold a grudge against him. Hendrik has made a list of the names of the men who had been Vania's lover. Other than Johan, there were two other names that caught his attention. Avan and Barley!

“Arman, about Avan ... what information did you get from that person?” Hendrik turned to his co-worker, Arman.

Arman twirled his chair and said, “our suspect love story is really like a novel. You won't believe what I'm gonna say. Avan is the biological father of Vania's daughter, and they have never been married before. One more thing, Avan is also a business rival Barli.”

“They three know each other?” Hendrik frowned.

“Yes, while you were busy looking for information from the Johan family, I went to Avan as you asked. That guy, Avan, I mean, he's ambitious and doesn't like Barley. It was very obvious from the way he talked about Barley. Avan has a grudge against Barli because he considers Barli the one who destroyed his business first.”

“Very interesting. What was her response to Vania's relationship with Barli and now Barli's father? Do you think there's a jealous element of Avan?” Hendrik asked Arman for his opinion. He knows Arman is also a very intelligent investigator and can read the mood of everyone he asks exactly. He's had years of experience.

Arman shakes. “I told you Avan is an ambitious type of worker. He kept on chattering about his efforts and how Barli was destroying his business. About Vania? The woman's name was rarely mentioned. He only admitted that he had a relationship when he was a teenager first, but I guess he never really cared about who Vania was in love with after.”

“Hmm, so so?”

“Yes, Avan confessed that they have decided to be good friends for the sake of their two children. Aileen. The boy seems to be very ill. I think it's quite natural that Avan maintains a good relationship with his ex-girlfriend. Oh, yeah, I'll show you something.”

Arman turned on the monitors and played CCTV footage of the hotel they had stored as evidence. He stopped the video in the middle.

“You see the man in blue here?” Arman pointed to the figure of the man in the video footage.

“Yes. Who is he?” Hendrik noticed the figure of the man in the video. The man in blue was standing near the entrance of the lobby.

“Avan.”

“What? The avan? What's he there for?”
