"When we lost you, we lost all the hope and everything but Louisa lost herself. She stopped breathing and all the things, which worsen while you are still there transformed into demons, and ate her. She is been used and punished by all" Rudy replied
"Ohh really? What happened after that?" he questioned
"She can't accept the fact that she lost you and with that, she was gone into the depression. Her father feared that she may lose her and she tried every way to make her smile but Louisa's condition deteriorated. She used to walk all over the place in search of the place where people said they have put you in the grave. She started looking for you everywhere and in the process, she started hallucinating the things. She stopped eating and drinking, Saline used to stay on her body whenever she got unconscious. She lost the will to live and the hallucinations grew more. She didn't have the clarity to know what is an illusion and what is reality. She stopped living and became a dead corpse and many took the situation to their advantage. Everyone took that as an opportunity to loot her property and inherit her riches. Many people were part of that game" Rudy replied
"What? How can people use her? What is her father Oliver Miller doing when people were troubling her? He never let anyone scratch a nail over his daughter then what had happened when she is really in need? What was he doing?" he questioned
"He tried his level best to control the things but nothing stayed in his hands. Louisa stopped listening to her parents and stormed out of the Millers' place. She picked up fights with her mother and took shelter on the roads, whenever her father requested her to come back she used to threaten him by trying to kill herself. That situation is used by many vultures and they attacked from all sides. Some tried to sabotage the goodwill of their organizations while some people bought the employees and made changes in their company. The Lox Organizations saw many changes at that time and the responsibility fell on Oliver Sir's shoulders to take care of. Only I was there with Louisa, she didn't even let Elena near to her but somehow she let me in with her. I saw her ordeal and pain but I was unable to save her from those vultures who troubled her. I am sorry Ivan, I was unable to keep up the promise. I was unable to make her smile, but where were you then? She fought the world for you but you are not there when she needed you the most" Rudy yelled
"You know the reasons for my absence Rudy, why are you questioning me? Don't you know what happened to me?" he questioned
"Ivan, everyone said that you are dead and I even saw the grave, we haven't got to think that you will have a chance of being alive, then how are you alive? If you were alive all these years why didn't you show up before and if you are alive how can people term you as dead? How can they say stories like you are killed with rage? Why so? We never really understood anything. Please let me know the truth and let me have a look at you. I am missing my old buddy from all these years and when I got to meet him he is not revealing his face to me. Please stop punishing me. Was I not your best friend?" Rudy questioned

"Sir, see how much benefit we got by not taking the steps when we are out of our mind. Now see how God has blessed us with the good news that Louisa has opened her eyes and has been cooperating with the doctors. I am sure that everything will be solved and by night we can take our Louisa back home. Don't worry about anything Sir" Tim replied
"Tim, I am happy that my baby is doing good but we can't ignore the mounting pressures on us and the new threats. Henry said to me that our every action is being closely monitored. He doesn't know the reason or the people behind that but he didn't get to know that. I have all my doubts on that Asher but I am standing strong and still only because you asked me not to take any action against him I am staying all down" Oliver replied
"Sir, I know that our doubts are genuine but before any step, we need to know why, how, and what. Every question needs an answer with proofs not one but at least five so that we can have strong points. Only then we can counter them. Let us deal with all the things later. First, let us be happy for our Louisa" Tim replied
"Sir, from the time Asher came into the picture yesterday the problems started for us and it just went on an increasing spree without any stop. Our lives have taken a serious and unexpected turn and when Asher became more close the problems started getting more worse and now when our Louisa opened her eyes she kept on taking Asher's name and we can easily say that she is taking that with rage and not with any love or care. I somehow feel that Louisa got to know something about him or the situation for what Louisa is now is due to Asher. That is why she wants to convey something to you. Asher has never been in limelight but the first time he came into the limelight everything changed for us. We lost many people too, our security is getting weak, our top employees are unable to do things, our stocks are falling and peace is nowhere. I think and I feel that the new threat which arose in our lives is nothing but Asher Carter" Tim's words ran in Oliver's mind he can't stop himself from drawing all the possibilities in his mind
No matter how much he tried brushing off the matter he can't stop connecting all dots to Asher Carter
