"No. But who is he?" she pointed at Brent.
He didn't know what to say. He was a ghost a while ago, he really don't know what was their relationship before aside from scaring him before so he'll avoid her. "That. I really don't know."
A flash of memories suddenly strike her mind.
'Your body said I was' said the blurred man in her memories. She felt pain inside her head and staggered while walking.
"What happened?" Lois got worried. He carried her inside his car then drove to the near hospital.
In a private recovery room.
"The patient suffered severe headache from the shock of her past injuries. We shot her a pain reliever, She is fine now. Nothing serious as what it is before." the Doctor said to Lois.
"Thank you." Lois look at her sleeping peacefully.
In the jail where one of the 20 men was taken.
Brent spared him without any damage for the police investigation and questioning.
A lady with scarf covered her whole face appeared and stand in front of that man.
"How can you fail? They are outnumbered!"
the woman scolded her endlessly.
"Someone interrupt us. He was so skilled. He might be your son's secret guard! You didn't told us about him. How can we defeat that guy!? In a few seconds my men were vegetables now! you have to compensate us!. Our boss sworn brother wont let this off. He smashed our boss head to death!" the man scolded her back.
"You think he will still help you? that guy?! I already paid him a million to shut up!" then the woman left. Thinking how can she get that formidable guy to her side.
Inside Lois car.
"How is she?" his mother called and ask worriedly.
"She is fine. Nothing serious mom. Just calm down." Lois answered.
"If there's something I can do to help you don't hesitate Lois. Please update me again when she woke up." said his mom over the phone.
"okay. I'll hang up now." Lois is somehow doubting his mother over her treatment she is showing to him to his woman.
When she got the news about their relationship she didn't oppose. It was not his mother character, after all. She is the first person who hate the santos family but to his surprise. She supported their relationship.
He can't help it but still doubt her.
She drove his car to the old mansion of Santos Family in a secluded place in the mountain. Though it was built in the mountain, It doesn't lack anything. Electricity and Water is not a problem. Even the house furnitures and appliances are still the same from what the capital has.
"I'm sorry Aunt Mary, I didn't protected her well." Lois carried Lily inside.
"It's not your fault Lois, let's talk inside." she invited him inside the house.
He carried Lily up to her room at the second floor. After a year of acting as a caring boyfriend he was now familiar with the direction of the mansion. He let their private home doctors check her and got outside of her room to talk to Mary about Brent.
In the dining room, Mary prepared a dinner for the whole family with the help of their cooks and maids, the dishes were serve.
After eating dinner,The Santos family goes to the living room where Minister Rinaldo was waiting. All of them are present except for the young man who betrayed them.
"Did the man told you why is he here?" Minister was already informed by Lois thru phone.
"He said he's here for Lily." Recalling what was happened a while ago. "He said his name was Brent."
"This is getting serious. Let her stay here for awhile to draw him here then we'll seal this whole mountain, It will be his prison while you move back to the capital." Minister Rinaldo explained everything to them.
"I will arrange the escape route." Jigs, Lily's uncle, volunteered. He was 35 years old already but he looks like a 18 years old.
He is still single and he looks like he is not interested in marriage.
"If its Jigs,We don't have to worry." Grandma Santos agreed.
"Thank you." Mary and Joseph is grateful to him. He is perfect at planning. Everything he planned succeded in 200 percent.
Jigs nodded. He love his niece the most. Having everything in the world looses interest in living. He didn't expect that his niece will gain his interest. She was still a child when she approach him.
"Uncle, why are you lonely?" A small child suddenly appeared in front of him from his back.
"Silly child, I'm not lonely." Jigs smiled at her.
"Are happy then uncle?" Lily was confused of his uncle expressions, he said he wasn't lonely but he doesn't look happy at all.
"Guess." Jigs pat her head.
"I guess you're lonely." Lily also pat his head and smiled at him beautifully. "My daddy said you are lonely because you don't have any plans for your life."
"Your Dad is imaginative." Jigs saw her hair braid was loose so he arrange it again neatly.
Lily can saw her reflection thru a nearby cabinet mirror. "So neat uncle" her bright eyes shows how surprise she is. And she suddenly got an idea. "Uncle if you don't have any plans for your life please plan for mine, Dress me up everyday! Please." Lily's eyes were pleading.
"Okay" Jigs agreed to her request " but with your parents written consent."
"what is that for?" Lily got confused again.
"It is for my protection when the other party suddenly betrayed me." Jigs explain to her. This child didn't know his character but approach him. He want everything perfectly organized without any loopholes.
"I won't betray uncle, uncle is the best!" Lily hugged her uncle.
Back in the capital, In room 306.
"Mom why are you here?" he ask her mother unwelcomely.
"I want to see my future daughter in law, Is that wrong?, I can't believe you. Your doubting your own mother!"
