ALANA-LAURA

Luca clasped Alana's fingers tightly. A moment down from his car. Luca drives Alana to meet Laura at Dante's club. During the day the club was closed to the public, only interested people were allowed to enter the area during the day. Next to the club stands the star hotel.

Because the location of the club is far from the city center, Dante also built a hotel for club visitors and people on the way from outside the city who want to find lodging. There is no need to go all the way to downtown Milan to rest.

"Good day, Mr. Luca", a security greeting who knows Luca as a good friend to their superiors.

"Piang. Is your boss around?", asked Luca.

"Mr Dante is in his room, sir", the security guard answered respectfully and invited Luca and Alana in.

Luca took his wife directly to Dante's work room. It's one o'clock by noon now.

Geck..

Geck..

Alex opened the door. "Mr Luca? Please come in, sir", said Alex kindly.

Hearing Luca coming a glance Dante looked at him. "Luc.enter" he said. He still seems to be signing the papers on his desk. A moment later put the pen on the table.

"Alex, I signed the file. Go back to the company. Clear my schedule for the rest of the day. I'll be at the club until night", Dante ordered.

"Good sir. Then excuse me" Alex told Dante to Luca and Alana.

After Alex leaves Dante invites Luca and Alana to talk on the couch. Dante told me everything about meeting Laura. Telling the circumstances of Laura who was very worried when she saw him. And Laura's been calling out Escobar's name. He was very scared of a man named Escobar" Dante said.

"I think it's the man who did it all to Laura. Do you know him?".

Alana shook her head. "No. I don't know him. I don't know much about Laura's friends".

Likewise with Luca he never once wanted to know who Laura with. Dante knows very well how Luca and Laura are related, their status is dating but never once together because Luca never loved the woman.

Dante opened his private room door handle. Laura was asleep. While Florence was sitting in a chair reading a book. Seeing Dante coming quickly the young lady stood up and saluted. Then exit the room to Dante.

Alana was silent to Laura's terrible condition. His face was deathly pale and full of bruises that were already purplish in color. On his shoulder was a bandage. His neck looks like a giggle.

Alana closed her mouth surprised at Laura's condition. Really sad. His body was lying on the bed in a sideways position. Laura who was using a tank top was clearly visible on her back full of longitudinal straight wounds.

"Doctor Hudini advised Laura to wear such clothes so that the wound would dry quickly. He should have been hospitalized seeing his condition as severe. But I'm sure this girl's safety is under threat, because she escaped from a man named Escobar. The hospital must have been their first search destination. That's why I gave Laura permission to be treated here. My friend Hudini took care of her" Dante explained in detail.

"Looking at Laura's actions, the man named Escobar was very dangerous. We better call Xavi. When Laura is ready to reveal everything, she can sue the man" said Luca who stood next to Dante and Alana.

"Yes. I've contacted Xavi. He is still in Genoa. Tomorrow he will come back and come straight here" replied Dante.

Laura moved her body. And suddenly crying while making fun while both eyes closed.

"That's how things are" said Dante.

Alana walked over to Laura's bed. Laura's body was sweating as big as a corn seed. And they kept talking about Antoinette and Escobar's name.

"Look. Calm down", Alana's soft voice made Laura open her eyes. Alana spontaneously grasps Laura's hand. Although they were never familiar but Alana did not have the heart to see Laura as she is now. She felt the pain that Laura felt. He was raped and tortured until he suffered severe injuries. Lucky Laura survived and was in a safe place.

Laura looked at Alana who was sitting on the edge of the bed near her. Instantly the clear circles fell wetting Laura's face. Laura sobbing. Memories gathered. He knew Alana. With a shaken body Laura cried. Her tears washed the pillow.

"Laura relax. You are safe now" Alana said.

"Sister.."
