"Laura relax. You are safe now" Alana said.
"Sister.."
Laura did not care about the pain of her body she sat down and hugged Alana. Laura was crying in Alana's arms. Alana could only rub Laura's back to calm her down.
Luca and Dante chat on a couch not far from Alana and Laura. Both of them saw Laura scattering into Alana's arms.
"Sister, I'm sorry. I've always been mean to you" Laura said in a soft voice as she lowered her head and squeezed her own fingers. Words that Alana would never hear from Laura's mouth. Now spoken.
Alana was silent.
"My mistakes are too much for you. Because of me, you left the house" said Laura with puffy, red eyes staring at Alana.
Huh... Alana breathed deeply. He held Laura's hand. "Forget over. I'm okay Lau. Papa and I have also made up. I hope we can make up even if our parents are no longer together" Alana said.
Laura smiled bitterly. At a glance he looked at Luca and turned to look at Alana. "I'm happy to see my brother happy. When my life was threatened I realized all my faults in you. I realized how evil I was to follow all of mommy's wishes to seize all of yours. Now that I know who Antoinette is, the woman who gave birth to me is not worth calling mom. He could sell me. I will never forgive Antoinetteee..."
Suddenly Laura hysterically mentions the name of her own Antoinette mommy.
Dante and Luca instantly surged closer to her. Luca worries Laura is hurting Alana. Luca immediately grabbed his wife's shoulder. Alana shook her head at Luca. He declares that he is fine, Luca need not worry.
"Laura, tell me everything. You're safe with us" said Dante, staring at Laura with his hand in his pants pocket.
Laura looked at Dante, turning to Luca and Alana as well. Laura thought for a moment. Dante was right there was nothing more he needed to cover for Dante because he was the one who had saved him from death. Laura owes Dante her life that can't be denied. As well as Alana and Luca, they are the family that Laura has today. While his own mother knows where now. Probably having fun without knowing Laura's pain right now.
"Mommy could sell me to a bad guy named Dominic Escobar" Laura said slowly, barely audible.
Dante and Luca exchanged glances.
"What do you mean Dominic Escobar owns the Monarca hotel? the Mexican?", asked Luca, looking at Laura, who had been seen shedding tears again.
"Mommy would really sell me to her. Escobar's men threatened me that night as I was about to break into Dante's other club" Laura said sobbing in memory of the incident a few days ago.
"Escobar raped me and tortured me. Until yesterday I had a chance to escape from his mansion. When he found out I was running away, his men chased me. And shoot", said Laura. This time he really could not hold back his cries anymore. His body trembled violently to endure his sadness. Alana spontaneously hugged him.
"I'll never forgive mommy. He's so fucking on me".
"Laura relax. You don't fear me and Dante will help you. Xavi's going to see you tomorrow. You have to tell him everything. If you want, you can sue Dominic Escobar as soon as possible" Luca said.
Laura seemed to be thinking of something. "B-But I don't want to involve you. Escobar can hurt you" Laura said stammered. His body shuddered at the cruelty of Escobar and his people that he had felt for himself.
"You don't have to be afraid of Laura. Luca and I will help you. Xavi is also willing to help you. You just have to speak the truth, nothing gets covered. You can ensnare Dominic Escobar to the point of rotting in prison for what he did to you. That man came from this country. So your position is strong. Don't be afraid to tell the truth" Dante assured Laura.
Laura digested all of Dante's words. Feelings warmed. It turns out they're all very good. Unlike his friends who only exist when he is at the top only. When he fell one by one his friends left him alone.
"But my personal belongings are on that man. My phone and all my identification cards are on the shelf. I'm afraid Alana's safety is threatened too. That man is very evil brother. I don't want anything with you. Just the brother I have now. I don't have anyone else in this country. Daddy was in Australia", said Laura holding back her cries as she stared at Alana.
"Calm Laura. My wife is safe with me. I'm not gonna let Escobar touch a hair of my wife. In an instant I could destroy that man. But unlike your case, if you want to avenge his actions on you you yourself must report them. Therefore, our friend Xavi will help you".
Dante nods. "Luca's right. Only you can snare Escobar yourself, while we can only accompany Laura. Think about it", said Dante.
"Lau, you need to think calmly. Don't be afraid, many help you you're not alone" Alana said gently as she clasped Laura's fingers.
Laura remained silent. A moment later he closed his eyes and nodded his head. "Yes. I'll make a report on the man's actions. I want Escobar in the weight of the law. Like he did to me..."
