After Dave's departure from their room, Paloma was still silent. He did not dare to look at Alano who seemed to be waiting for him to voice to answer the question earlier.
"Are you going to shut up, Paloma?" Alano stared at Paloma's guard, he most disliked being made to wait.
"I don't know where to explain it." Paloma breathed out slowly.
He decides to speak honestly to Alano and there will be nothing he covers up anymore.
Paloma leaned his body against the sofa. "I was kidnapped and taken to Albert. He threatened to kill my parents if I didn't agree to the deal he made to marry you. I was forced to follow Albert's will because one of the Paspampres who was close to my round turned out to have betrayed us, he became an accomplice to the person who kidnapped me. I thought the mastermind of my kidnapping was Albert, but my guess was wrong. He was also just one of the accomplices of that person. Albert was ordered to kill me once I arrived in Italy, they seemed to want to remove the tracks by killing and dumping me here."
Paloma tears flooded both cheeks, his heart ached considering the kidnapping incident that day until he had to end up in this place and married Alano a stranger he did not know.
"Then who was the one who kidnapped you and brought you here Paloma?" Alano looked at Iba Paloma.
He knows that Paloma is just a victim of someone else's revenge until his uncle uses Paloma as his shield to kill Alano.
"I don't know that guy Alano, who I know he has a sword scar on his face and a beard. And because of the kidnapping, all the Paspampres who were in charge of guarding and protecting me died, only Austin was left to protect me from the terrorists who wanted to kidnap me. Although his condition at that time had been shot and shed a lot of blood. Up until now I had no idea how she was alive or dead from trying to protect me."
Paloma cried as much as he could given the state of Austin at that time, hoping that Austin could survive the shootout.
Alano who was still staring at Paloma cried took the initiative to take a tissue and give it to Paloma.
"Thank you for being honest with me, Paloma, I will help you."
Paloma who was wiping away her tears with tissue stopped and looked at Alano, "You mean what you said to Alano? Aren't you lying to me?"
"No Paloma for what I lied to you, I really want to repay Uncle Albert's actions that have been very outrageous to us. All this time I tried to be patient to let uncle act as he pleased because I did not want to hurt Mommy. Mommy always tells me that family is everything, and if one makes a mistake then the family should be able to forgive whatever his faults are. And just so you know, Mommy's blind because of Uncle Albert, he did it on purpose so he could seize Daddy's estate. It happened when I was 10 and couldn't do anything."
Paloma was so surprised to hear the narration of Alano, it was unexpected that Albert was so willing to do such a heinous act on his own younger brother.
"Now I ask you, you report to me whatever orders Albert gave you. You don't have to be afraid because from now on I'll protect you, we'll follow Albert's game."
Alano looked at Paloma with confidence, hoping Paloma would trust him to help destroy his uncle Albert Hall.
Paloma nodded in agreement with Alano's words. Yes, he can only trust Alano he is sure that Alano can be trusted and will not lie to him.
"Actually Albert told me to poison you Alano, he gave me a vial of poison to mix in your food every day. But you take it easy I never mix anything in your food Alano, I swear!."
Alano smiled faintly looking at Paloma who raised a hand showing his 2 fingers.
"Yes, I trust you Paloma. I was always watching your movements during your stay at the Mansion. I couldn't believe it when my uncle brought you to me."
"So you've been spying on me all this time, Alano? Hah .. I really didn't expect that." Paloma shook his head hearing Alano's words just now.
