Iqnazio returned Ilario's gaze fiercely too, "What did you bring me for, hmm? Ara? Hey, Ara is mine. What happened to him is my business."
Hearing this, Ilario punched Iqnazio hard in the face, then was grabbed by his younger brother's face again.
"If he's yours, why treat him like an animal to marry his brutal male?" asked the younger brother in a calm voice that made goosebumps down his spine.
"What's your business with that? I never interfered with your business with Alina, your late wife! I also don't interfere with your business with the women who are in your life after Alina died!"
"It's my business because you see me helping Ara, Zio!"
Marko, Matt, Pete sighed in unison. This was the first time that Ilario was furious at his younger brother. All this time Ilario had been scolding his two younger siblings in a soft voice. Was it because Ilario's heart was touched by the love and felt Chiara's pain when he was abused by Iqnazio, so this man's blood boiled and then became fierce towards Iqnazio. Answer yes because of that.
"You know my beloved Ara, why help her?"
"Hey, did I let her be kidnapped by your colleague, then raped by your colleague? I've been investigating who that person is. His name is Farhat, your partner at Ara Campus. Farhat wants to rape Ara who once rejected him, where you beat him to the punch!"
Jleb, Iqnazio gasped at this. He did beat Farhat, who was found to have forced Chiara to accept the man's love. Luckily after that, he didn't abuse Chiara, because the girl at that time was afraid of being forced by Farhat.
"Do you understand why I helped Ara?" Ilario spoke again.
"Okay, thanks for helping him." Iqnazio accepts Ilario's help, "but why do you have a crush on him, Rio?"
"Why do you say? I'm a normal man, it's normal to be attracted to Ara's beautiful aura!"
"Ara is mine, Rio!"
"Not yours yet! So any man has the right to fall in love with her. She also has the right to be chosen as her husband."
"Don't expect that, Rio!"
"I don't need to hope, because Ara is in my hands right now. I will not return him to you. He could die in your hands!" Ilario looked at Iqnazio sarcastically and firmly. He really won't return Chiara to Iqnazio. "Matt!" he cried before Iqnazio argued again, "Give me that item!" held out his right hand to Matt.
Matt immediately took a whip from Pete's hand and gave it to Ilario. Marjo immediately covered Iqnazio's mouth with a roll of the handkerchief. Iqnazio looked at Ilario, was it true that his twin brother, who was known to never punish his two younger siblings, was now giving him punishment?
Ilario threw a whip as hard as he could until it whipped into Ignazio's body. Ignazio writhed in pain, but couldn't scream because his mouth was gagged. Ilario whipped back his whip so that it landed several times on Ignazio's body, carving red decorations. Ignazio seemed to be writhing in pain, but had no power to scream because the cloth kept gagging his mouth. Sweat started pouring down from his body which was decorated with many cuts from Ilario's whip.
"Stop Rio!" Austin's loud voice echoed throughout the room.
Ilario snorted after hearing that voice. 'Dams,' she thought to herself, 'Who told papa about this?' glanced at Marko, Matt, and Pete.
The three men immediately shook their heads, it wasn't them who reported to Austin.
Ilario snorted again in annoyance, feeling that his father had spies watching him looking for Iqnazio. The spies may have found Iqnazio first, then the father of the twins was continuously monitored.
Austin was already in front of Ilario, his eldest son was carried away from Iqnazio. Iqnazio saw Austin relieved but annoyed at the same time. why their father could know about that incident? Surely after this Marlena would know, then forced Iqnazio to get rid of Ilario under the pretext of getting Chiara back.
Rio, calm yourself down. Austin spoke softly to Ilario who still looked emotional. "Remember he is your younger brother, so you have never punished your two younger siblings in this way. You even scold papa if papa hits your two younger siblings' buttocks with a stick to punish those who do wrong."
Ilario snorted in annoyance at this.
"Now," Austin spoke again, "You'd better immediately take Ara to Austin Hospital in Singapore with the Austin Hospital Jakarta ambulance jet. Papa moved him there, so your mom wouldn't make things difficult for you two. Hurry up."
"Then Zio?" Ilario spoke now while glancing at Iqnazio who seemed to be gasping in pain.
"That's daddy's business. Papa must give justice to Chiara. Hurry up, Javer is waiting for you at the Singapore airport."
Ilario gasped at this.
"Hasan already told Chiara that his daughter Javer is papa's cousin," Austin explained why Ilario heard him mention Javer's name, "when papa followed you to Austin Hospital Jakarta. So papa called him on the way here. Coordinate with him in Singapore, as he is currently there for a meeting with the World Health Council."
Ilario sighed, feeling that his father was like Almero, no matter how busy he was, his wife and children were the top priority.

Ignazio lay in the VIP treatment room. Ignazio was wearing a patient's uniform, his nose perched on a nasal tube that was connected to an oxygen regulator that was attached to the top of the double bed. He was starting to sober up, and,
"Already up?" a male voice greeted him.
Ignazio gasped, recognizing whose voice it was. He jumped up when his eyes saw Austin sitting on the edge of the bed facing him.
"Papa!!??"
Austin held Ignazio's body, who had jumped up, and laid his son back on the bed. Austin sighed. Dizzy He has 2 twins, Ilario and Ignazio. Ilario likes to have adventures in bed with women of the night, Ignazio likes to fuck his lover sadistically when he is jealous.
"How, son?" Austin asked looking at Ignazio who looked scared to see his father. "Does it hurt to be whipped by your sister?"
'Die me,' whispered his heart, 'What else bad things do I have to accept? I got whipped earlier by Ilario.' he complained bitterly. 'Now what do you get from papa?' Austin glanced at her with a worried look.
"Does it hurt to be whipped by your sister?" Austin asked Ignazio again.
"How did you know Ilario caught me?"
"Where it comes from doesn't matter, Zio." Austin smiled, "You know very well, daddy protects you with daddy's life. And papa knows that this time Rio is very angry with you. If papa doesn't hurry to save you, then papa will lose both of you. You died at the hands of Rio, and Rio died on death row."
"Just let us die. There's no use being your son."
"Hey why say that? Papa knows he's very busy, but has he ever neglected you? Then wasn't all daddy's treasure for you to enjoy all this time?"
Ignazio sighed, that's not what he meant. This is Marlena. Marlena in front of Austin is a gentle Mama, but behind Austin, so horrible to Ignazio.
"Ignazio?" Austin admonished Ignazio, "What exactly is troubling your soul, boy? Papa feels something is bothering your soul so you become sadistic when your temper rises. Then also papa feels you keep wanting to break away from our family."
Ignazio flinched at this, though it wasn't the first time. Austin, despite being extraordinarily busy, monitors the mental condition of his wife and three children. And He knew something was bothering Ignazio's soul. But every time he asked, Ignazio chose to remain silent.
"Never mind," Austin sighed without pressing Iqnazio to answer his question, "Now you should recover yourself, then you will come with papa back to Washington. You just teach at DC university."
Iqnazio snorted then shook his head, "No, dad. Once Zio leaves Washington, you won't be coming back."
"Hey, this kid is stubborn! Then what are you here for, hmm? For Chiara? Forget her."
Iqnazio sighed, now understanding why Austin had saved him from Ilario's wrath.
"In that case," Iqnazio looked at Austin, "Papa must know where Ara is now."
"Even if you knew," Austin smiled faintly, "I'm sorry I wouldn't say it." Strictly speaking, "Papa doesn't want you to make him die as you have done to your two previous lovers."
"How could Zio do that, pa?"
"Where could you say? You just wronged him, Zio! Luckily Rio came on time, otherwise, that girl would have died!"
Iqnazio gasped in surprise upon hearing this, Austin stared at him in disbelief.
"You think papa is lying, hmm?" Austin knew that Iqnazio didn't believe his words, "Don't you realize that you have brutally fucked him, hmm? If Rio doesn't come at that time, that girl will have the same fate as your two late lovers! If that happens, what should I do with Javer, the girl's father?"
"It's impossible for Zio to make Ara that bad. This is just a ruse by Rio, so he can take it from Zio." Iqnazio denied that he had battered Chiara, "Zio must meet Ara!" he was about to pull out the IV needle that was in the top of his right hand, but Austin stopped him, "Papa, Ara is Zio's lover!" his father scolded, "Zio doesn't want Rio to take it from Zio! What else could Zio have screwed Ara to the point where he almost lost his life? Zio only gave him a small punishment for daring to meet Rio's loving gaze on him!"
Austin sighed, then had to punch Iqnazio hard in the face, causing his son to faint.
Meanwhile, at Austin Hospital, Ilario was seen at Chiara's side who had been operated on and was still unconscious. Chiara was carried on a gurney by a nurse, accompanied by doctor Damian and doctor Tala. They headed for the ambulance which was in the front yard of the Austin Hospital emergency room terrace. Then behind the group were Marko, Matt, Pete, Bion, and Hasan.
Austin did move Chiara to Singapore because he was going to take Iqnazio for treatment at Austin Hospital Jakarta. He's temporarily protecting Chiara from Iqnazio, as well as Marlena. He worries that Marlena will use Chiara as an excuse to force Iqnazio to get rid of Ilario. Austin knows Marlena wants to get rid of Ilario for Iqnazio to take the Sanders Company. but he pretended not to know.
The group arrived in front of the ambulance. The nurses immediately loaded the gurney containing Chiara into the ambulance, after which Ilario, doctor Damian, and doctor Tala entered there. Marko, Matt, Pete, and Bion scrambled into Ilario's mercy jeep, and the rest of the aides climbed into the aide's jeep. It didn't take long for the group to leave Austin Hospital for Soekarno-Hatta Airport. Will Chiara survive the trip?
