"Marju, thank you for saving Gab-Gab and Isla. I owe you this." I told him, and he smiled. While Ambria was busy cleaning Marju's wounds, he had received them while protecting Isla and Gab-Gab.

"You're welcome. Anyone in that situation would have done the same thing I did, just to protect Isla and Gab-Gab." He said, and Ambria smacked him on the back of the head.

"Ouch! You saw how they beat me up, and you're still doing that to me." Marju complained, almost crying in front of Ambria.

Ambria snapped at him, making Marju cover his ears with his hands."You're an idiot! You could have fought back, but you just let them beat you up. Don't you think, Marju? What if something worse had happened to you? I would be so miserable.''

"I did fight back. You saw, I knocked out nine of them right away. It just wasn't fair fighting the guy who had Gab-Gab and Isla."

Ynna looked at me seriously and asked, "Don Roman is secretly planning to kill us. What are we going to do about him?"

I carefully lowered Gab-Gab onto the sofa so he wouldn't wake up from his deep sleep. Then I sat next to Ynna and Ambria. "It's too early to make a move. Let him enjoy his life for now. When I make my move, I'll make sure that he will never see the light of day again."

But the question is. Why does Clarke know Don Roman? Is he also part of the Mafia led by that old man?" Ambria asked. Then I saw Marju frown.

"I don't know. I don't know." I told Ambria.

"What if Clarke is also our enemy? What will you do, Everest?"

"I don't know. We'll talk about it later." I replied to Ynna's question and immediately carried Gab-Gab to our room.

Clarke's pov

I'm here outside the school entrance waiting for Everest. When I found out what happened to them last night, Lance and Jax immediately accompanied me to their mansion. But when we got there, all the lights were off. So we decided to go back to our own homes. And I also have a surprise for her today. Our friends know that I'm going to propose to her today, and everything is ready.

"I miss you."

"I miss you so much, too. Did they hurt you last night? How are Gab-Gab and Isla? Are they okay? If I had been there last night, I would have killed them all! I really can't stand it when people hurt my loved ones.''Clarke said, his worry evident in his eyes as he looked at my arms.

"I'm okay. Gab-Gab and Isla are fine, too. I owe it to Marju because he sacrificed himself to get beaten up just to save the kids." I said, making Clarke look at Marju and shake his hand.

"Thanks, bro."

"You're welcome, bro. Marju replied, then put his arm around Ambria.

"Hi, My Lady," Jax shouted as he handed Ynna her favorite black rose that he brought for her.

Ynna accepted them, which pleased Jax. If it had been any other kind of flower, no matter how beautiful, she wouldn't have taken them. It was clear Jax had done his research on Ynna's preferences.

"I had them specially ordered from Turkey. Because you're special to me, My Lady."

"Thank you, Jax. I like them, so I'll accept them. But if it had been any other flower, I would have returned them to you." Ynna said and immediately posted the black roses Jax gave her on Myday.

"Clarke, your phone has been ringing for a long time. Answer it. It might be important." I said to Clarke. He smiled and nodded, then took his phone out of his pocket.

"Clarke, we need to talk. I didn't want to tell you this, but I have to." Don Roman said, looking serious outside of his window.

"What do you mean?" I asked Don Roman.

"You'll find out when you get here," said Don Roman. Then he hung up the phone.

"I need to go. I'll call you later, okay?" Clarke whispers in my ears.

"Okay, just be careful, Clarke. I love you.''

''I love you too, my soon-to-be Wife.'' These two words are etched in my ears.

"You're leaving? Isn't today the day you're going to propose to Everest?" Lance whispered in my ear.

"Yes, but I'll be back right after I talk to Don Roman. You all take care of her." After saying that, I went straight to my car.

"Let's go in. The Professor will get angry if we are late to her class again," said Ynna. We all agreed by nodding.

I saw Lance approaching me with a white paper bag. "For you. Clarke said you should wear it later."

"Congrats!" He said, making me wonder what it was for. Clarke and I hadn't discussed going anywhere today.

"I'm so happy for you, Congrats!" Ambria said, and Marju echoed her sentiment. What is happening? I just asked myself in my mind.

Ynna smiled broadly at me and whispered, "Congrats, Best Friend."

"Ynna, you're being mysterious. Tell me what's going on so I'm not confused by all your strange behavior." I said to Ynna, raising my eyebrows. But she just smiled at me and didn't answer.

"Come on! They left us behind." She said with a smile that never leaves her lips

"What are you going to tell me?" I asked Don Roman when I arrived at his mansion.

"We found her. The woman who killed Samantha."

"Who is she? Where is she?" I asked. After two years of searching for that woman, Don Roman's men finally found her.

"It's none other than..." Don Roman was interrupted by one of his men.

"Don Roman, you have a call."

Don Roman took the phone from one of his men, "Thank you, Gregory. You may leave now."

"Okay, Don Roman, just call me if you need anything," Gregory replied and hurriedly left.

"I'll just answer this first, and then we'll talk afterward." I nodded.
