Ricky was glaring furiously at Zachary, his eyes opened so wide they were bulging as if they would pop
out.
In a split second, he rushed forward, grabbed Zachary by the collar, and launched a lightning quick jab
on his face!
Pow!
There was a dull thud and Zachary tasted blood on his lips.
Ricky did not loosen his grip, however, and shoved Zachary to the floor as he kept clobbering him.
Stunned for a moment, Irene quickly came to her senses and ran up to pull him away. "Calm down!"
‘How could I?!’ Ricky bellowed in rage. "He's a married man, but he had to keep bugging Lulu! That's
why she was killed. It's him. It's all because of him..."
He had lost all rationality right then. All he wanted to do was to murder Zachary!
‘Get off mel” he cried and shook Irene off.
As she lost her balance and fell on the couch, she grimaced in pain as she felt a pull on the scar over
her belly.
Ricky did not notice her discomfort, however, and was still punching Zachary relentlessly.
Zachary did not resist-he actually thought that Ricky was right.
After all, if he had stayed away from Lulu after getting married, Ember would not have set her sights on
Lulu, and this tragedy could have been avoided.
He admitted as much, too. "You're right. I did kill her.”
"You think that look of regret would get you off the hook! Absolutely not!" Ricky cried even as he
throttled Zachary. "If you want penance, I'll send you to her right now. Kneel and beg her for
forgiveness!"
Irene finally got to her feet despite much difficulty just then, and snapped,’ That's enough, Ricky! Killing
him won't change a thing!
What you should be doing is to find the real culprit!"
Ricky froze as Irene’s words brought him to his senses.
‘The real culprit? As in the people who killed Lulu?"
Yes." Irene walked up to him, ignoring the pain in her belly as she placed a gentle hand over Ricky's
back. "No matter what
Zachary did, he wasn't the one who killed Lulu. It's those murderers."
Zachary stared at them for a while before he said, “You're looking at him.’
After all, his mother had ordered Lulu's death. How was it different from him doing it himself?
‘Don't think I wouldn't touch you!" Ricky snapped, convinced that Zachary was just provoking him.
"I know you would, but give me time," Zachary said calmly. "There's something I must do, and you can
do anything you want to me once I'm done."
Irene pulled Ricky away just then. "Yeah. We are all in grief, but that is all the more reason we must
work together to destroy Lulu’s murderers."
Ricky stared at Irene for a moment.
He gradually calmed down, giving Zachary one last glare before releasing him.
Irene helped Zachary up. "Are you alright?"
Zachary wobbled a little as he got to his feet. "I'm fine.’
"I'll get the first aid kit. Your face..."
Zachary caught her wrist. "I'm fine. Don't worry."
Irene held his gaze for a moment before sitting down.
"How did you know that Lulu's dead?’ Ricky asked.
Irene was eager to find out as well, and they both stared fixedly at Zachary. “Maybe there's a mistake?
Or you were being lied to?" Irene held on to hope. Zachary wiped the blood oozing from the corner of
his lips and growled, ’ My source is... very accurate.’
‘Who is it?" Ricky was clenching his fist, ready for another fight already.
Zachary, however, learned his lesson-fighting fire with fire never worked. Watching Ricky, he told him,
"I'll get you answers. I just need some time.’ Seeing that Zachary had a plan, Irene spoke before Ricky
could. “We'll give you time, but it had better be worth it.”
‘Yeah,” Zacahry replied with staunch determination.
With that, Irene got to her feed. "I'm tired. You two should go do what you should be doing.”
She returned to her room, leaning on the door as she closed it behind her, her eyes welling with tears
right then.
Bzzt-
Her phone was suddenly ringing and she took it out to see that it was a call from Isaac.
She quickly wiped her face and composed herself before answering," Hello?"
