" I know; I told her the same thing, which is why I feel sorry for what you are going through." Darren leaned over and hugged him.

" I am fine-"

" No, man, I feel bad that your girlfriend found out about you sleeping with her sister." He was slurring his words, but everyone could easily understand it.

" I said-"

" And she beat the living crap out of you." Darren kept going.

" It's not such a big-"

" And then your other girlfriend discovered it and slapped you across your face."

" Can you talk talking-"

" And your other girlfriends also hate you now."

"....."

" Are you done?" Samuel stared at him furiously because he was airing his dirty laundry in front of everybody!

" I don't feel so good. I am going to the bathroom!" Darren realised what he had done, which made him run away immediately. He could clearly feel Samuel's anger building up, and he didn't want to be another statistic in his playbook!

" I am sorry you got beat up by a girl!" Istanbul sounded sincere, but how come Samuel felt he was mocking him?

" Been there done that, but you know if she happens to be a twin, you can blame it on that. I used that once." Antonio chuckled, reminiscing about the past.

" Unfortunately, that is not the case; she is not a twin." Samuel sighed. The cat was already out of the bag, they could be considered friends, but if they ever found out they blabbered about it other than Darren, he would consider the death penalty!

" Wait! Hold on for a minute!" Istanbul had an epiphany, and he started searching for his phone.

" What?" Antonio asked.

" I am calling the police! I know, man, we are friends, but I can't let this go!" Istanbul became severe all of a sudden. Although he was drunk, his moral compass was straight as an arrow!

" Why?" Samuel asked. Was he hallucinating already?

" If Paige is your girlfriend and you slept with her sister, then that means you messed with a minor, and I can't allow that to happen! I may be bad, but I will never stoop so low!" Istanbul stood up and proclaimed proudly! 

He couldn't be more wrong, and his belief in Samuel made him even angrier. How could he even think Samuel was capable of such things?

" Hey buddy, sit down! There seems to be a misunderstanding here!" Antonio kept looking at Samuel while dragging Istanbul to calm down. He could feel the temperature dropping, which meant something terrible was about to happen.

" Please sit down... stop this madness... Samuel, calm down... hey buddy, he is just drunk..." Antonio could see his eyes changing! Fuck they were going to die!

" No, I will never go against my moral code, even if he is my brother! Hello, is this 911?" He already dialled the number and started speaking.

But before he could say anything else, Samuel was already behind him. He gave him a quick chop on the neck, and he came falling down in Antonio's arms. Antonio picked up the phone and told the police about his drunken friend and resolved the misunderstanding. 

" This idiot! Always a lightweight!"

" Settle him down; someone will transport him to the guest room." Samuel started walking out.

" Where are you going?" Antonio asked.

" To finish the job!" Samuel roared.

" Wait... I just want to ask you.. that ...you know... is it true?" Antonio asked hesitantly. Samuel didn't say anything to him. How could he? Antonio already joined his friend and lay unconsciously on the ground.

" Now, one more, I have to make it look special. Hahahaha" Darren was doomed from the moment he opened his mouth. Samuel took his sweet time with him and was a legend of the young master of the Rothschild family, having colourful taste in the bedroom spread throughout the Estate!

" I didn't think you would come." Samuel shook his hand and said seriously.

" Why not? It's a matter of great importance to me. We finally have some hope after all these years." Enrique said.

When he got the call yesterday night that the person who healed Samuel's eyes was in town and was ready to do the operation, he was elated to the core. It was an opportunity he couldn't miss.

" Aunt, please follow these people inside. After everything is settled, I will bring the old man inside." Samuel held her hand and asked the nurse to take her inside.

" Alright, and Sami?" She moved her hand, trying to find his face.

" Hmm?" Samuel helped her guiding her toward her face.

" Talk to them."

" I will, I just, never mind. Please don't think about these things and prepare yourself for the procedure." He squeezed her hand, and she knew he didn't want to discuss it.

" I will send someone to accompany you," Enrique said.

" Don't worry about that; I book the whole VIP floor, which means only people I trust are here." Samuel stopped him.

" Alright." 

After sending her off to get ready, Enrique looked toward Samuel, who was lost in thought. He didn't know what happened, but it created a wedge between his daughters.

Some of his people informed him that Samuel's room was where they fought, which shed some light on what this thing was all about.

" Are you thinking why they aren't here?" He asked directly.

" Yeah, I thought they would be here to support her." Samuel sighed.

" It's because they don't know about the operation."

" What? Why?" Samuel exclaimed.

" It was Marianna's idea. She knew something was wrong after their big fight. They haven't spoken since she didn't want to make them uncomfortable knowing you will be here."

" But-"

" It would have been awkward, right? How can a mother make her children suffer because of her? She also trusts you completely for some reason and knows you will never let anything happen to her."

" That means you don't?"

" That depends; if you were in my shoes, would you trust someone who messed with both your daughters?" Enrique said seriously.

There was a certain tension in the air for a while as Samuel didn't know how to respond to him. He never thought he could hide things from him, but it was bad he found out about it on his own but worse when he considered it only happened yesterday!
