Episode 17

At the clinic, Mr. Williams reached for his pure gold pen and with some force, he signed without much thought.

"Mr. Williams, you have signed already, there's no turning back. It was a pleasure, I will proceed. May I ask for permission and wish you a speedy recovery," the lawyer spoke to him with great respect, and then looked at Mrs. Williams, preparing to leave the elderly couple alone.

"Don't look so worried, my love. Are you disagreeing with my decision?" Mr. Williams took her hand.

"Darling, you know I support you, especially considering what our son has done. It breaks my heart."

"You must stay strong, my dear wife. Did you know how much I love you?"

Mrs. Williams' eyes filled with tears.

"I know, my dear. I love you with all my soul. You must recover and come back home. I don't want to see you in this place."

"Don't cry, my beautiful old lady." The poor old man's heart ached at seeing his wife suffer.

"Don't worry, dear. I'll go grab a bite to eat since you have already eaten. It pleases me. I'll nourish myself and won't be long."

"Take your time, there's no rush. I'll be here waiting." Mrs. Williams smiled softly and approached her husband, giving him a chaste kiss on the lips and then on the forehead before leaving with a heavy heart. It's difficult to see someone you love confined to a bed, in critical condition.

Mr. Williams closed his eyes to contemplate for a moment about his son, searching for the right words to deliver such news.

He heard the door open. "What did you forget?" Mr. Williams asked, but fell silent upon seeing who was standing at the doorway.

"What are you doing here?" Mr. Williams flared up.

"I assume you recognize me from the photos I sent," Lore locked the door behind her.

"Your presence displeases me! How dare you come here? You are a sinner for meddling in a sacred marriage! A whore!"

"Don't speak of me in that way, future father-in-law. I merely came to visit and see how you're doing," Lore approached and placed the white rose she brought on the table next to Mr. Williams' medications.

"Shut up and leave!" He tried to sit up.

"How selfish of you. I came here as a good human being to visit you, to offer encouragement, and leave this white rose for you. And this is how you treat me?"

"Are you deaf? Go away! If you think I'm going to accept you as my son's mistress, you're greatly mistaken! The wife, and the only wife, of the fifth generation of the Williams family is my beloved Valentina. I don't understand what Alexander sees in you. Merely looking at you, I can see the usurper and harlot that you are," Mr. Williams growled, bringing his left hand to his chest where his poor heart was hurting a little.

"But what a stubborn old man!" Lore rolls her eyes and then looks at him with contempt "Do you like everything the hard way? Okay! Look here, you old fright, I will be Mrs. Williams. His son doesn't love Valentina, that horrible fatty. He only has eyes for me, and I am his world. He breathes for me, lives for me. That's why we've spoken to our parents to carry out the wedding. You should see how happy I am about it. I never thought in this day and age my Alexander would become so wealthy, although I like it. But what he possesses also matters to me. I don't care about your damn blessing. All I want is to get you out of my way. But before you depart to the next world, I want you to know that it was me who sent those photos. Wonderful, isn't it?" Lore smiles maliciously "You had to know, old man, so you could see that Valentina has no place in Alexander's heart. I control that man with one finger. He does whatever I want, and I love doing that to men. What's wrong? You look pale" Lore shows a concerned expression, then smiles like a crazed lunatic "Do you have something to say?" Lore watches as Mr. Williams worsens, his heart rate rising "Are you going to stop me from marrying Alex? I don't think so!" Lore laughs hysterically "Mr. Williams, I truly enjoy this conversation with you. Don't think I'm evil, I'm not. It's just that you, as the ringleader, give me headaches... Let's play instead. I'll send you to the next world" she smiles, taking latex gloves out of her purse and putting them on.

Mr. Williams opens his eyes wide, trying to speak, mentally screaming for help as his voice is stuck.

"No, don't be afraid, Mr. Williams. What I'm doing is a favor to you so you can avoid all the hassle. In the end, you're going to die, can't you see how old you are?" Lore approaches and grabs a pillow.

Mr. Williams tries to move, but even his feeble body is paralyzed by fear.

"I hope that from heaven or hell, you can see how happy I'll be marrying your son, because that man is crazy about me. He even loves having sex with me like a pervert" Lore smirks maliciously.

The poor old man widens his eyes, as if they were about to pop out, seeing her grab the pillow and place it on his face without mercy, as if it were a lucrative act, regardless of the fact that a living being, the father of the man who supposedly loves her, twists his hands to remove it.
