"Who are you?" A man's voice from behind Edward startled and stopped his action to pull out a knife. Edward turned and saw Brian standing at the top of the steps.

"Shit". Edward's eyes were quiet. He had to calm down and pretend nothing happened. Because until now no one knows if he has hurt Elena.

​​

"You haven't answered my question. Who are you?" Brian asked again who was watching Edward closely.

"I'm a repairman who was called here to fix a broken air conditioner." Edward replied as calmly as possible.

Brian frowned for a while before remembering that Yanti had also told him about the broken air conditioner in Elena's room. And Brian asked Yanti to call the repairman to fix it.

"Have you fixed it?" Brian asked who was a little suspicious that he didn't see Edward carrying anything in his hands. Shouldn't that man be carrying repair equipment.

"Sir, why are you here? Has your cough stopped?" Asked Yanti who came from the kitchen with a glass of water on a tray.

Edward tried hard not to raise the slightest suspicion. One hand continued to grasp the handle of the knife in his pocket. Be on the alert if things get out of hand and he gets caught.

"Yes, my cough has stopped. And I want to get the repair kit I left in my car." Edward replied. Neither Brian nor Yanti said anything else. After saying that he went back down the stairs.

Yanti climbed the stairs. She will put the drink in Elena's room. So, if the repair worker coughs again, he can drink this warm water. When Yanti passed Edward, her nose smelled a strange smell. Yanti frowned and tried to think what strange smell she smelled from Edward's body. Yanti thought by continuing to climb the stairs.

When Yanti reached the top of the stairs, she saw Brian still standing there.

"Where's Elena?" Asked Brian to Yanti. Brian's question suddenly made Yanti finally recognize the smell of the anjer she had previously smelled. It was the rancid smell of blood. And hasn't Yanti heard that Elise is in danger. Given that Rena died not because of an accident but a murder.

And Yanti remembers that the repair man was alone with Elena in the room. Is it possible?

Yanti's eyes widened in panic when she saw Brian. She walked quickly towards Elena's room.

Brian, who had previously seen Yanti's reaction and facial panic and fear. Suddenly worried and anxious. And a second later the sound of broken glass and Yanti's scream.

"Ahhhh," Yanti's loud shout boomed and shocked everyone.

Brian turned to the door of Elena's room. Yanti appeared with a face of panic and fear.

"Sir, that man has stabbed Elena." Yanti shouted quickly. Brian's eyes widened instantly. he was shocked and unbelievable. He wanted to go in and confirm Elena's current state. But he remembered that the most important thing now was to catch the culprit. Brian quickly glanced down at the ground floor. And saw Edward who also turned to the second floor.

Edward knew that he had been caught when he heard Yanti's scream. he turned to the second floor and locked eyes with Brian. Then, he turned around and prepared to quickly escape from here.

Brian immediately ran down the stairs. he kept looking at Edward.

Edward ran and saw Elise, who was still standing still, looking up. The woman was still surprised and curious after hearing Yanti's scream. Without ever realizing the danger that was approaching her.

Edward pulled his right hand out of his pants pocket. The knife was still held tightly in his hand. Brian's eyes widened to see Edward pull out a knife and run towards Elise.

"Elise!" Brian shouted loudly as he made his way down the last step.

Brian's scream made Elise turn to the right and her eyes widen as she saw Edward running with the knife in his right hand toward her.

Edward's hand started swinging the knife. Elise dodged but unlucky Edward's knife still injured Elise's right arm.

The woman was still carrying Dean in her left hand. Elise Panic because Edward still wants to stab her. With a little difficulty, Elise finally picked up the jars on table and threw them at Edward. The man dodged and the crushed jar hit the floor. Elise was unsuccessful in injuring Edward but she succeeded in creating a distance between them and running further away. Meanwhile Brian had arrived not far from Edward. He looked at Elise who was quite far from where they were.

Brian turned and looked at Edward furiously. "Are you the one who killed my mother by running into her?" Asked Brian to confirm something he could answer himself.

"Yes, I killed your mother. Even though my initial target was your wife, Elise."

"Why do you want to kill me? I don't know you at all, and have never done anything bad to you." Ask Elise.

"Yes, you don't owe me anything. But, he does. He owes me a lot. So don't blame me if I want to kill you."

"What do you mean? What debt are you talking about?" Brian asked, confused.

Some of the bodyguards Brian hired came in and looked at the situation. Looking at Elise's injured arm and causing her sleeve to be stained blood red. And a stranger holding a knife towards Brian. Wait, isn't that guy the repairman they let in earlier. And immediately they were alert and alert. Ready to attack the man if Brian gives orders.

Edward looked back there were about ten bodyguards there. Seeing that, Edward already knew that he was outnumbered. So, this is his last chance. And he has to kill Brian no matter what.

"Because of you my wife and son died."

"What ?! How could it be because of me?"

"Yes, my son is seriously ill and I need a lot of money to pay for his medical treatment. So, I got involved in the corporate fund corruption conspiracy. After all the people involved in the case were exposed. You cruelly fired me."

"And your decision resulted in the loss of two important lives in my life."

"Because I did not pay for my son's medical treatment, he was late for intensive care and finally died. My wife, who was shocked and saddened by the departure of our son, was so bad. Until a few days later she died and went to follow our beloved son."

"So it's all because of you. You were the one who was so cruel and fired me without giving me any severance pay."

"So I swear you will taste what I have felt. I will kill the special person in your life."

"And my first target is Elise, your wife, and how lucky I managed to kill your mother, "explained Edward. Seeing Brian who was focused on digesting what he said. Edward viciously pushed forward. Want to stab Brian's chest.

But a second before the knife hurt his body, Brian reflexively dodged and grabbed Edward's wrist. Brian locked in his movements. Brian's grip made Edward release his grip on the knife. And Brian quickly kicked the sharp weapon away from them.

But Edward was not that easy to beat, he used his left hand to hit Brian's stomach. Brian had predicted the action. So, before Edward's hand hit his stomach he blocked it with his left hand. Brian attacked Edward with his right foot. And a fierce fight broke out quite seriously between the two. Edward received several beatings. And Brian got the same thing. What's different is Brian's enthusiasm to beat Edward up as time goes by. Brian is furious remembering what the man did? Edward kills rena, Brian's mother and only family member who is he have. And plus Brian's anxiety about Elena's condition, makes him even more angry and beat Edward blindly. And finally Edward lay there unable to fight Brian anymore. The man took all the punches and kicks from Brian. Makes the situation so pathetic.

In Elena's room, Yanti holds Elena's head on her thigh. And repeatedly checked Elena's pulse from her wrist.

There's still Elena's heart rate there, but it's very weak. And the amount of blood soaking Elena's body makes Yanti afraid. If Elena can't be saved anymore. Yanti prays that Elena can be saved.

"Elena, hold on. You must hold on for Dean's sake, Sir and madam." Yanti whispered hoarsely. Since earlier the tears flowed without stopping. Yanti also put pressure on the affected area, hoping that this would stop the bleeding.

Yanti was lucky to carry a cellphone in her skirt pocket. So, she called the hospital to send an ambulance over here. Yanti also didn't forget to call the police. Yanti hopes that Brian can catch the perpetrator who has been very cruel to injure a woman as good as Elena.

Downstairs, Edward could no longer move. he passes out after taking dozens of punches from Brian. However, the man had not stopped at this point and was still punching and kicking Edward.
