\[An Hour Later, Strix Hospital\]
Stonia's eyes flipped open on the bed, and she sat up quickly, but before she could get down, Rafael held her back.
"Where is my daughter! Did you allow them to take her? Where is Ixora!!!" She pushed him away.
"You can't keep playing this violence Stonia!! It'd only worsen things!" Rafael replied, and Stonia got up.
"I agree that I was hesitant...I wasn't planning to give birth at all, but then you forced her into me and forced me to keep her pregnancy, and when I gave birth to that beautiful girl, smu fell in love with her instantly. She's what I live for, Rafael. I can't live without her, and you think I'd allow her stay 24hrs in that jail? I don't care what's gonna happen, I've already been labelled as a corrupted ex vice-president by the citizens, so one more corrupt act don't be bad. I'm barging into that prison and I'm taking out my daughter!" She blew up, pushing him out of her way.
She was about to really barge out when Rafael jammed a syringe into her arm, and she stopped.
Her eyes went drowsy immediately, and she went down, but he quickly held her.
"Raf...ae..." She slurred weakly.
"I'm sorry, Stonia. Your temperament might ruin things, let me handle this" he muttered, dropping her in bed and covering her up.
Her female doctor came in, her eyes pitiful.
"I can't believe I treated Ixora that same month when she had problem with her legs, and now she's behind bars?" She said.
"I'll do everything I can to get my daughter out, just please...take care of Stonia. I used the injection on her" Rafael replied, wiping his tears.
"Sure, I hope to hear good news about your daughter soon" the doctor said, and Rafael rushed out.
After he left, Serena came out of the hallway she has been standing at, her smile so bright and her phone glued to her ear.
"Are my flight tickets ready? I'll fly tomorrow to avoid unnecessary suspicions, and after my departure, promise me your agent in prison will do a good job" She said.
She's on with her doctor.
"Do you know where she's getting taken to? Cali Core Prison, hell on earth where even the guards are criminals. Don't worry, I settled them enough, and at the time of the penetration, the guards are gonna weaken their tightness" Dr. Fat reassured.
"Good" Serena said.
"But what about your aunt?" He replied.
"She has never cared about me, so I bet her and her husband won't even notice my absence. I'll text her that I've gone to Serbia to stay with my maternal grandmother, so it's settled. By the time I come back to this city, I'll have the face of her daughter" she explained.
"Cool, and and about the flight ticket, it's readier than ready, my lady" the doctor said.
"Good" Serena hung up and walked down the hall.

\[Satan's Heirs Hideaway\]
"I'm fuçking bored" Konstantin said, coming downstairs with a bottle of his favorite alcohol in hand.
Capri is seated alone in the living room, staring at his wristwatch.
Chicago is getting released today, latest in the evening.
Ashton isn't here, he went to see Bronx at the hospital.
"If you're bored, then watch the news, there's a lot going on in the city" Capri replied.
"Are you trying to sound suggestive? You suck at it. Why would I watch when her face is all-over the news" Konstantin grimaced, taking his seat.
Capri watched in silent as he drank from his alcohol, but then he took the bottle from him and drank too.
From the stair railing, Anfisa stood and watched them with her phone hooked between her palms.
Evil Witch's message is on screen.
Evil Witch: Over, don't say I didn't warn him. My next step? You'd be shocked.
Anfisa turned off the phone and sighed out with heaviness on her chest.
Meanwhile... inside Warren's room, he's sitting alone in the scan room, staring at her life cameras.
Her bedroom, the bathroom, the living room, the kitchen, her closet... Both in Stonia and Rafael's house.. they're empty.
Then her room in Nadine's place... Nadine is inside that one, crying.
Warren kept zeroed eyes as he watched, but on his right hand, there's the meteorite bracelet.
The one she got him the other time, and on his right hand, there's the flame pendant necklace she got him on his birthday.
He dropped the both and opened the box of the flashdrive.
He brought out the flashdrive and inserted it into a laptop, playing the only video on it.
Ixora came in screen, wearing a Betta fish costume, multicoloured.
Her hair was decorated with corals and beads, and she braided it into two long braids which fell on her chest.
She blinked thrice before clearing her throat...
"Warren... listen to me...ahem!" She cleared her throat again, then she pulled out that microphone out of nowhere.
"Happy birthday...to you... happy birthday to you... happy birthday happy birthday, happy birthday... Warren..." She sang out of line, but she did it like she's the best singer in the world, then she turned around and wiggled the tail on her fish costume before laughing.
The laughter was shortlived though, and when she got serious, she came closer to the camera.
"Honestly...I don't know how I agreed to give fake testimony that day. I only remember refusing to do it when Evelyn told me to. But the next thing I remembered was me entering court. I'm not trying to make excuses, but... it's like I voodooed" she said and nodded.
"I won't ruin your birthday present with my tattling, so I'll sing once again. Manage my voice I'm not a good singer ok?" She smiled and shifted back from the camera, then she began jumping as she sand the happy birthday song again.
Warren shut down the laptop at this point, and Falsus cooed on the table as he shut his eyes.
