Alessandro's mood has been chaotic ever since he saw Raymond. In his head feels a re-spinning memory 18 years ago. The betrayal of his friend was so deep in his heart that he knew Raymond so well from their childhood.
When he returned to look, the hatred and resentment that was in Alessandro's heart was like coming back to the surface. He still remembered how Raymond smiled and laughed at the cafe, while he felt empty and difficult to smile.
Alessandro clenched his hands, “I will not let you be happy on top of all the suffering you have given me. Are you currently happy with Aurora?”
Alessandro may not suffer much if Aurora is with another man, but he is with Raymond, his best friend. That is what really hurt Alessandro.
Alessandro picks up his phone, then contacts Javer Rossi, his personal assistant. Javer's age is not much adrift with him, only different from 4 years.
“Iya Al?”
“Search for information about Raymond Costa. I want everything on my desk tomorrow morning,” Alessandro disconnects his phone then glares, remembering his memories first.

“You're happy, babe?”
“Of course, Dad. How unhappy I am, my Daddy is the best Daddy in the world .. muahhh,” Bianca pecked Raymond's cheek.
“Where are you going, baby?”
“I want martial arts training first, Dad,” Bianca smiled and showed off her neatly lined rows of teeth.
“Then, how is your college preparation?” Ask Raymond.
“Quiet, Dad. I've majored in business management. I'll follow in Daddy's footsteps to become a successful businessman. Next month a new lecture will begin,” Bianca explained at length to Raymond.
“Choose what you like, Bi. Daddy won't force you to major in business.”
“I didn't have to, Dad. I'll love whatever Dad likes. I go first yes, friends must have been waiting for me there, Bianca” also went along with the driver. Raymond has not allowed Bianca to bring her own car as she is still in the learning stage.
Meanwhile, in an office building located in the center of Rome,
“This is the information you requested, Al,” Javer handed a black map to Alessandro.
“Thank you.”
“Do you plan to cooperate with Costa company? I heard they are opening a massive cooperation,” Javer corrects the location of his glasses by touching the middle part that has become his habit.
“I don't know yet,” Alessandro opened the black map and started reading it, while Javer came out of the room to get back to work.
Raymond and Amadea Costa. Dea .. You can still accept Raymond as your husband, even though he has betrayed you. Don't don't Raymond never tell you that he's been cheating on you behind your back?
Raymond's status as a widower and single parent, quite surprising Alessandro. However, he feels his former best friend deserves it for betraying him and may have hidden this reality from Dea.
Alessandro looks at a photograph, where Raymond is seen with a teenage girl.
Deg …
Suddenly Al's heart beat rapidly as he looked into the blue eyes that Raymond's daughter had. He pulled something from behind the collar of his shirt, a necklace with clams as the fruit.
Al smiled remembering a little girl with the same eye color who first made her smile after more than 10 years she had to live in a void.
Such clear blue eyes reminded him of the beach and the sea, which was filled with serenity and peace. He closed the black map, then walked to the large window on the left side of the room. He looked up at Rome from a great height, recalling some of his memories stored in this city, a city full of wounds.
I'm gonna destroy you, Ray, just like you destroyed me. But this will definitely hurt you more. Inner Alessandro.

“Bian's brother!” Shouted some children who were younger than Bianca.
Currently, Bianca was at a gym used for martial arts training. There, there were several types of martial arts he could choose from. However, Bianca only chose 3 of them, namely karate, muay thay, and also krav maga.
Bianca chose karate because it is one of the most dynamic movements. He can coordinate between mind and body so that the body can issue more power to bring down the opponent.
For Muay Thai, actually Bianca just follow-up because at that time the martial genius was being favored by various groups. But over time, he deepened this martial art because it strengthens the elbows and knees, so that it can result in more significant injuries to opponents.
While Krav Maga is a very practical contemporary martial arts, the goal is only to injure friends and disarm the weapons used.
Bianca deliberately studied martial arts initially to divert her attention and mind that was always on her Mommy. However, as time goes by, he wants to protect himself and his Daddy. He began martial arts at the age of 11, exactly 1 year after the departure of his Mommy, Amadea.
“Bian!” napa Bruno who is his friend at the gym. Bruno was his training partner in learning Muay Thai.
“Kak,” Bianca replied to Bruno's greeting while putting her tote bag containing drinks and training needs.
Bianca practiced for about 2 to 3 hours each time she came to the place. It only comes on Saturdays and Sundays if there is no other need.
He stretched out his legs and shook them slowly after he finished training. He always does this so that his leg muscles do not feel stiff.
Bughh bughh bughh …
There was the sound of a blow. An interested Bianca got up from her seat. He looked towards the room that was specifically used to study boxing as well as kickboxing.
Bianca noticed a man with a tall body and seemed to have managed to form her abdominal muscles in such a way. His eyes were so sparkling watching the exercise.
“Bi, Bian .. Bianca!”bruno's pelvis for the third time. This made Bianca startled and turn around.
“What are you paying attention to, hmmm ...,” gida Bruno while playing her eyebrows up and down.
“I was watching kickbocing exercises,” replied Bianca.
“The exercise or the tang person did it?” Bruno teases Bianca again.
“You know him, Brother?”
“Hmmm, he's only been here a few times. He had only used that special room since coming. Even he asked for a special trainer with the most expensive fee.”
“Will he enter the championship until he has to bring in a special trainer?” Tanya Bianca wants to know.
“I don't know, Bi. If you want, go in and get to know him. But I'm not responsible if you get kicked out by him later,” Bruno chuckles.
“Did he ever kick someone out?”
“Hmmm, he doesn't like anyone getting into that room when he uses it. Only that special trainer can enter. All right, I'll go first, Bi. I have to train elsewhere.”
“Good, Brother. Bye!”
After Bruno left, Bianca wanted to look back at that special room. However, he was shocked when the man was already right behind him. When he twisted his body, he simply smiled displaying a row of his teeth, like someone tang was caught off guard.
