Daniel puts down his phone blushing, he doesn't know himself why when Laotian is already his husband. Daniel looked at Minmin beside him who's playing then leaned down to bury his face against his son's small body, blowing air on his little belly making the little one giggle.
" Minmin, Daddy is so easily upset. " Daniel complained. He knew Laotian was upset when he said he would hang up so to appease him, Daniel said those words to cheer the Alpha but now he was thinking he should not have said that. It sounded so insincere.
Daniel draws his face away from the small bundle of giggles and grabs his phone again. 'Should I call him again?' Daniel thought but then thought otherwise. 'What will I say anyway, I can't take back my words!? Laotian will surely be more upset.' Daniel was still thinking when his phone suddenly rang. The caller ID was unknown so he hesitated whether to accept it or not.
Subsequently thinking for quite a bit, Daniel finally answered the call considering maybe it's from an important person. Unfortunately, before he could say anything, a female with a delicate voice talked from the other line. Daniel immediately frowns hearing the familiar voice. The voice of the person who almost ruined his life, since the day he left his cozy home and came to live with the Sullens.
" I want to talk to you about grandfather. I'll wait for you at that cafe tonight. " Daniella demanded. She didn't feel the need to pretend with Daniel. She already revealed her true identity to her twin ages ago, in fact, no one in this world truly knew the real Daniella except Daniel.
" What makes you think I'll come and see you? Do you think I'll fall into your trap again? " Daniel tightly held his phone as he responded. He never felt so much hate towards someone before, even when Daniella schemed against him when they were younger, he didn't feel hate. He was sad and angry but he didn't hate Daniella for it. But now, the raging hate and anger just wouldn't fade away for reasons unknown to him.
Knowing Daniel's personality, he is the type of person who would easily forget about the bad things that had happened in the past and try to live what's on the present. He doesn't dwell on unnecessary things. If it's much better to forget the past then he would. He thought that he wouldn't feel hate towards his twin sister but clearly, after talking to her again after almost a year, all the pain, anger, sadness, and fear just piled up.
"I'm not asking, I'm telling you to come. If you don't want your precious Alpha seeing a photo of you being raped by those old men, you should come. I still have a lot of things against you so you don't get to choose. " Daniella said arrogantly, confident that she could still use the photos against Daniel. Raging in anger and frustration, Daniel closes his eyes and tried to calm himself. He doesn't have to let Daniella blackmail him, he trusts Laotian's love. Mo Laotian already knew his story so seeing a couple of photos wouldn't change a thing.
"You think I'll be scared just because you have some photos?" Daniel asked smirking. If it was before he wouldn't have the guts to talk back, however now, Laotian and Luangmin gave him the courage to fight back. If he keeps on acting weak, he would burden Laotian more and more. He needed to be fiercer. He needed to learn how to be braver.
"Where did that bravery came from? You think I don't know you made Mo Laotian take the responsibility for your bastard. Do you think someone like Mo Laotian would actually like someone like you? Do you think just because he's staying with you now, he'll marry you? Keep on dreaming! He will get tired of you and will find someone more suitable, more capable unlike you. You're just a bitch only good in warming beds. " Daniella said confidently, she was so sure Mo Laotian wouldn't marry an Omega because everybody knows how much he hated Omega more than anything.
Daniel on the other hand, after hearing his twin sister, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Did she really just said that?
" . . . "
"haha can't say anything!? Mo Laotian will leave you soon. Poor you, you just lost the only thing that could keep Mo Laotian beside you, haha " Daniella laugh victoriously making Daniel raised his one eyebrow riding along with Daniella's foolishness.
" And what is that!? " Daniel taunted already feeling this conversation was a waste of time.
" Come and meet me if you want to know. "
" I won't be seeing you, Daniella. Do you think I still have time to spare playing with you!? We have nothing to talk about. " Daniel said already tired of talking to a fool.
" oh, but we have. Don't you want to know who planted someone to hit your car back then? " Daniella said like devil playing games. She sounded like someone from hell that sent chills to Daniel's spine. Daniel almost immediately became pale unable to talk back as her words sunk in.
" Don't you want to know who murdered your bastard baby? " Daniella said laughing like a crazy woman that made Daniel's expression turn horrified the moment he heard her. His tears building up threatening to fall as he remembered the events that happened in Hawaii.
" Come meet me at the cafe. See you soon. " Daniella said in a honeyed voice before hanging up. Leaving Daniel dumbfounded.
Daniel's hands trembled as he stared at his phone. His tears already staining his cheeks without him realizing. Memories came flashing into his mind and he couldn't stop himself from slightly shaking from the shock. Whenever Daniella possibly did something, Daniel's trauma would suddenly come back like a nightmare.
' N-No way. She can't be! ' Daniel repeatedly said to himself. Although Daniella made a lot of bad things, he didn't think she would commit murder. Even though Daniel didn't die at the accident, the other person died and his baby died in that event.
" N-No that can't be. " Daniel mumbled. This feeling was too familiar. This happened too when he almost got raped back then. Back then Daniella also said the same words as if giving him hints that it was her who sent him to those old men.
Daniel sobbed, his heart was aching too much remembering the death of his daughter. Despite Daniella not saying it was her, she was deliberately saying it is her. No one else knew about the death of LuangMie aside from the ones who were with them in Hawaii. Mo Laotian also blocked any possible news from coming out so it's impossible for her to know if it wasn't her own doing.
It was obvious that was she's the one who planned the accident. Daniel clutch on his chest and cried silently, it was too painful. It's like his chest was burning. He couldn't accept it, it's just too much for him. Daniel shifted his gaze to Minmin beside him, his sight blurred seeing his son innocently playing with his toy.
Gently, he carried Minmin on his arms and protectively brought his knees close to his body and cried. He kept his heavy cries deep inside, but that only made it more painful. He already decided to move on, he still has Luangmin to take care of, but remembering Laungmie made his mind go crazy. He doesn't know what to think and feel aside from fear and excruciating pain.
As Daniel trembled while hugging Luangmin, the little person curiously pats his mother's head like he was trying to soothe him down. Feeling this, Daniel broke in tears, too afraid for Minmin. The thought of his son being taken away from him too just scared the hell out of him.

Meanwhile...
Laotian watch the video clip brought to him by Tian Zi in all seriousness. The woman on the video was committing murder but Mo Laotian's expression didn't seem to budge at all. He was more like glad that his enemy didn't disappoint him. With the solid evidence on his hand now, he could finally get justice for the death of his daughter.
Laotian click on the recorded audio consisting of the evidence he needed. A flashed of evil glint showed on the Alpha's eyes like a ruthless demon reaper who has set his eyes on his next target.
" You only killed the unborn fetus so I'll give you half of the money. " The woman said in the middle of the conversation.
" I've changed my mind. I don't need your money. " The man said caressing his left thigh which had been missing its other half. The woman was slightly shocked after seeing the man's appearance but it didn't bother her much, she quickly brushed the thought of how he had become like that. She just wants to end this transaction quickly.
" . . . "
" You see, I haven't been with any woman since I become like this. It has been piling up for three months. "
" Why don't you buy any woman you want with the money. I don't have time for this. " The woman replied after discerning what was the man really meant to say.
" I don't want any woman. I want you. Even though my men couldn't kill Daniel Sullen he was still able to kill the baby inside him so I think one night isn't that bad of a payment. I'm really pent up. "
" Are you crazy!? I'm engaged now. You think I would still sleep with you now that you're a crippled man!? If you had killed Daniel too I might have agreed to it, but you didn't. " Daniella replied, disgust visible on her delicate features.
" I know you would say that. Well, I have something for you! I figured that now that I am like this, you wouldn't want to sleep with me again so I prepare this." The started grinning, he held a silver flash drive showing it to the woman. When the woman viewed the small device, she instantly got alarmed.
"You think I wouldn't make something like this just because you slept with me a few times? In this flash drive, all our past conversations, videos and text messages that I gathered up for the last 3 years are saved here. You're from a prominent family so I've been doing this to also save myself but of course, you don't have to worry at all if you just sleep with me tonight. " The man said.
After a friend of him introduced him to the woman, even when she was just a teenager. He had gathered all of the information and evidence in connection to her on his flash drive in case something happens, unfortunately, the flash drive he's holding now was just a copy. The original had long been taken from him by Dragon's men.
When he was tortured, he ended up spilling everything he knew and especially all his connections to Daniella Sullen. Up until now, he still doesn't have any idea who he had offended but he knew he was being watched. When he was suddenly released from his torture, he knew immediately that they specifically wanted to catch this woman in front of him. It is also why the room and building were filled with hidden cameras and bugs.
In reality, Mo Laotian indeed intended to set the man free to catch Daniella. The information he got in Hawaii wasn't a solid proof to detain Daniella in prison. He needed to obtain something solid, something that she couldn't deny in any way possible. A proof that will ensure his victory in the case.
Laotian doesn't just want Daniella Sullen to be thrown in prison. He wanted her to rot in prison, by then he can send someone to make her life a living hell. Killing Daniella Sullen wouldn't be enough for Mo Laotian now, death is a very simple punishment for her. He wanted the woman to suffer until she couldn't think of anything but to die.
Laotian paused the device and leaned forward to his table.
" First, I want the whole country to know what she truly is before we arrest her. " Mo Laotian gravelly said as he intertwined his fingers and gleefully imagine Daniella's imminent downfall. Hearing his eldest brother, Tian Zi grin mischievously, he already have plans on his mind. He only needed his eldest brother's signal to start his act. For him, it would only take a few clicks on his computer to ruin someone's reputation.
