Aisha was at hunter's shop checking all the weapons that she'll be needing when Caleb came. Whoa, he's sure is early.
"What's with these stuffs?" Caleb creased a brow as he approached Aisha trying the sniper's eye.
"I'm preparing for the great hunting game."
"You mean-- with the bounty hunters?"
"Who else?"
"Aisha, have you told uncle Rio about your plan?"
"It's no use. He's a bit busy with that woman."
"Aisha." He was saddened.
"I'm fine, Caleb." She put down the sniper gun then pick her Damascus steel knife.
"Seems like you have planned this all along. So tell me, when will you begin?"
"As soon as possible. I know they already knew my identity right now. So instead of waiting for them then I'll just lure them out." She smirked.
"What do you mean?"
"That's why I called you here to discuss that. But make sure to increase Lisa's guards. I don't want her to be involve in this."
"What do you have in mind? Is that the reason why you agreed to have that silly interview?"
"Ehm..." Aisha chuckled, "Am I too obvious?"
"What's wrong with you Aisha? This isn't you. You should know the great danger of your plan! You might get killed! How about Eli? And Ethan?"
"Caleb, I'm doing this for them!" She left the weapons and sat on the couch.
"I can't risk Ethan's life nor Eli anymore. As long as I am around them, they'll be in great danger." She shed a tear. "I can't bear to see them hurt. It's killing me even more!"
Caleb frowned. He understands Aisha's fear. He went near her and embraced her tight.
"I know and I totally understand how you're feeling about all these things. But don't you understand the pain it will cause them too?"
Aisha lowered her head. She does. But their lives are worth protecting. They have great future ahead of them. They'll soon forget about her as time passes by. She broke away from Caleb's arms.
"They'll get through it." She mourned for herself silently.
Caleb sighed. The bounty hunters have surely watch the news since it's all over the television and the social media. They might as well, have been watching Aisha's every move by now.
"The bounty hunters must have seen the news, What's your plan for Eli and Ethan?" Caleb suddenly asked.
"Ethan and Eli is safe at Master Omni's ancestral mansion. I can freely move as soon as they're with the old man."
Suddenly, Aisha's thought drifted back to yesterday's conversation with Master Omni.
"H-how? How did you know?" Aisha was dumbfounded. She suddenly felt nervous when she heard that Master Omni knew about her real identity.
"The how is not important for now." Master Omni just shrugged his shoulder.
"But since when did you know? About me?"
"It's been a long time. Do you really think that you could fool a Williams for so long?" He gave a piercing gaze. But he softens after a while.
"So that means, Ethan ------"
"I don't want to answer your query about him, it's best if you yourself will tell him the truth." He cut her.
Aisha lowered her head. She heaved a heavy sigh.
"You're not angry, grandpa?" she was embarrassed to even raise her head.
"Of course I am! How could you even try to make a fool out of the Williams!? How could you trick us?
"I-I'm sorry grandpa. That was never my intention." She was guilty.
"Tell me, why did you do it?" He was trying to calm his nerves.
"I came here in the central city in hope to see my long lost twin sister. But I never expected to come across the man who adopted her. He told me that my sister Stacy is in comma and he wanted me to pretend in her place-- for the time being until she fully recovers. If not, she will be in great danger as well as her family-- Eli and Ethan. All I want is to see my sister but I never knew it'll be complicated like this." She tried to make the story short.
"You mean Robert made you do this?" Master Omni was shocked.
Aisha nodded, "Ehm."
"But was Stacy really in a comma?" Master Omni seems to be testing her sincerity.
She shook her head, "Lately, with the help of a friend, I was able to discover that she is in Paris but not for her recovery!" Master Omni saw how her fist balled in disappointment.
"Robert told me that his wife is taking good care of her, but I guess it was all a lie and I was late to discover that." She painfully faked a smile.
"But Robert's wife died 20 years ago." Master Omni uttered. Aisha shuddered when she heard the old man. Dead? A long time ago? What!
"I didn't know that. The only thing I knew was Stacy isn't in a comma. I just don't know where she is right now."
"The Hertiz huh. So they've been planning things against us all along. I knew it!" Now it was Master Omni's time to clenched his fist. "That's why it's best to transfer Ethan silently here in the mansion."
"Did you say you'll transfer Ethan here?"
"Yes, that would be tonight."
Aisha was overjoyed. With Ethan and Eli at the Ancestral Mansion, she'll be able to concentrate on her plans.
"Yes Grandpa! It'll definitely be the best." She chortled.
They spoke a little more. Aisha was able to tell Master Omni the history as to why she's pretending to be Stacy. But she left the information of who she really is – her past and her previous life.
She was relieved a little. Now Eli and Master Omni knew about her – that she is not the real Stacy. But she didn't inform them about her true identity--- not even as Rio's adoptive daughter. Good thing the old man didn't asked further.
Now, the only one left is Ethan. Master Omni didn't tell her if he already knew but it's a possibility. She doesn't know how Ethan will react but it's time for him to know the truth.
Whether he hates her or what, she has to take the risk. Ethan can't be kept in the dark forever.
"Hey Aisha! are you still with me?" Caleb shook the dazed woman.
"Eh? Yes!" she woke up from her bafflement.
"So what's your plan?"
Aisha told him all her ideas. Caleb raised some suggestions and Aisha was weighing those options. After a while, Hunter came in holding two big cases.
"What are those?" Caleb asked.
"Weapons and tools that Aisha asked me to bring here." He answered then he laid them down. What's in it that it looks substantial?
Caleb and Aisha knelt down as hunter opened the cases. Caleb's jaw dropped when he saw all the items while Aisha conceitedly smirked.
"Aisha is this an all-out war!?" Caleb exclaimed.
"It is." She simpered.
***On the other side, a woman was standing in front of the reporter's house. It was the reporter who will be interviewing Aisha later on. she knocked non-stop.
After a while, an irritated reporter opened the door.
"Who the hell is disturbin -------" the He reporter paused when he saw the lady. "Why are you here? What do you need from me?" he showed disinterest to the person in front of her.
"I came to talk to you about something." the woman casually spoke while looking at her fingernails.
"You know that nothing is free when it comes to me, right?"
"I know, that's why I bought this." She handed him the case. The guy opened it and was stunned to see bundles of cash inside. His eyes shone.
"Come in." he widely opened the door. As soon as the woman settled down on the couch, the man sat opposite her.
"So tell me your business, lady." The guy immediately asked.
"Just one thing, STACY!" she arrogantly sneered, "She must die tonight."
The reporter held his breath. Did she hear the lady correctly? Damn! These crazy woman is serious!
