Jonas seemed to have aged ten years in one fell swoop, his voice tinged with weariness: “Enzo …”.
Enzo ignored Jonas and turned his head to look at Allyce instead.
He had always liked Allyce since he was a child, but because his parents had always told him that his future wife could only be a young woman like Senona, and never Allyce.
So he had to keep his thoughts to himself.
He just didn’t realise that it was his own father who had made Orlin feel bad.
Allyce just ignored Enzo’s gaze as he looked coldly at Jonas: “I want you to apologise publicly, come clean about what happened then and turn yourself in.
This was something she had thought of from the beginning.
If the day came when the person who had really killed Dad was found, the whole world would be sure to know that Dad was innocent.
Enzo’s face reddened with surprise.
The Aybar Group was still supported by Jonas, and if Jonas went to jail, the Aybar family would lose prestige and would not be able to support the Aybar Group, not to mention that his heart went out to his father, who, after all, was getting old ….
He took two steps towards Allyce: “Allyce, it’s all in the past, my father did wrong, but he didn’t treat you badly in all these years, can you stand that he’s still in jail at such an old age?”
Allyce scoffed: “He’s old, but an older killer gets away with it? He had two people killed, he can’t get away with it”.
“You …” Enzo was too worried about Jonas to listen to Allyce’s words at the time.
He turned his head and raised it towards Severo and said aloud, “Severo, whatever happens, you are my father’s own son, are you really going to send him to jail for a woman?”
Severo pulled Allyce into his arms, took her by the shoulders and gave her hand a gentle squeeze, quietly reassuring her.
Only then did he look at Enzo with a cold face: “I’m not doing it for one woman, I’m doing it for two”.
He turned his head to look at Jonah and spoke in a low voice: “Ariela, the woman he killed, was my real mother”.
Enzo took two steps back and looked at Jonas with a surprised expression.
Jonas looked at Severo with a weary expression, “I could turn myself in, but I …”.
Severo didn’t care what he was going to say after that, he cut him off: “Not only do you have to turn yourself in, you have to clarify and apologise publicly, don’t you understand what my wife said?”
Jonas fell to his knees with a thud, “I beg you! Please let the Aybar Group go, I’m willing to turn myself in, don’t make me apologise publicly, just give me some time to deal with the Aybar Group …”
Allyce felt Severo’s hand on her shoulder tighten.
She glanced sideways and also saw only the side of Severo’s cold, taciturn face.
Severo spoke in a cold voice: “It’s all your fault”.
With that, he dragged Allyce away.
Severo walked quickly.
Allyce trotted to keep up with him.
He could feel that Severo’s heart was not at peace, because his own was not at peace either.
Ariela had been killed by Jonas, who had teamed up with Lavina to plant the evidence on Orlin, who had died in prison.
And Ariela is Severo’s biological mother and Jonás is his biological father.
The truth he had been searching for was that his father had killed his mother.
Although he had never lived with Jonah, Jonah was his real father.
It was normal for him to find it difficult to accept something like this.
When they arrived at the car park, Allyce stood in front of the car door: “I’ll drive”.
With that, he opened the door and went upstairs.
Severo could not drive in these conditions.
“What do you want to eat?” Allyce knew he wasn’t feeling well, so she wanted to talk to him.
Severo said nothing.
Allyce asked again, “Let’s go for a hike sometime, take a walk, it’s been a busy few months and I’m a bit tired”.
Suddenly, Severo reached out and pulled Allyce’s whole body over ….
Allyce shouted: “The car …”.
Severo approached, moved twice and the car stopped.
Then he started tearing Allyce’s clothes.
Allyce’s face filled with horror, “Severo! What are you doing?”
Severo’s eyes filled with sadness.
In broad daylight, just off the road …
“Severo, go home ….” Allyce’s voice was weak as she buried her head.
Severo, however, did not care.
Allyce clenched her fists and put her hands to her chest. She saw that Severo’s face had the fierce expression of a beast, and there was no trace of tenderness to be found ….
The fear in the depths of his heart deepened.
Until it was over.
She looked out of the car with panic in her eyes, fortunately she was already inside the villa area of Cloudy Bay, there were very few people coming and going, and no one was visible on the roadside, otherwise she would have been seen ….
At the thought, Allyce’s face went white.
The two fixed their clothes and went home, with Severo driving the car.
…
“I’m Jonas and I need to admit my guilt about the murder at that charity gala sixteen years ago. …”
On television, Jonas was wearing a prison uniform, his normally meticulously groomed hair was shaved and his face was pale.
Allyce lowered the handle in her hand, looking a little forlorn.
Sixteen years had passed and the day had finally come when the truth would come out.
But Dad was no longer there.
His father was gone, but Severo’s father was still there.
When he thought of Severo, a darkness crossed his eyes.
Since Severo had done that to him in the car that day, it had been several days since he had returned home.
