Hi.
.
.
In Darius’s office
Darius Volkan (Dimitrios's dad)
So, Ms. Evelina. Come with me. I would like you to meet my son.
Evelina Vento (FL's cousin)/ Emi
Now ? At this time. It’s work time now..
Darius Volkan (Dimitrios's dad)
Don’t worry, Ms. I’m the boss 😎. So, don’t worry. 😉
Evelina Vento (FL's cousin)/ Emi
(laughs nervously) 😅
Evelina Vento (FL's cousin)/ Emi
(nods) Fine then.
Ruthie (Darius's secretary)
Then, I will notify the young master that you will be visiting him.
Darius Volkan (Dimitrios's dad)
(firmly) No need. Let me go and see what he’s actually doing.
Ruthie (Darius's secretary)
(nods)

On the other side…
In the Langley mansion..
In the dining room.
Matt, Alfredo, Lyra, and Abram were having their breakfast.
Ivy and Marcos left for their university.
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
❄️❄️After finishing breakfast, all of you come to my study.
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
❄️Especially, Matt. Your presence is most important.
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(eating silently)
Carlo Langley (ML's dad)
*Is dad going to show him? *
.
They had their breakfast and headed to Abram’s study.
.
In the study..
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
(show him the picture in his phone) ❄️❄️ Look at this.
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(looks at Abram’s phone closely)
Matt POV
” I know Grandpa is definitely pulling some trick to prevent me from being with Artemis, but I’m not going to fall for his lies.”
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(looks at Abram coldly) ❄️❄️ Don’t think that I’m going to fall for these edited photos, Grandpa.
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
Matt, please listen to your grandpa.
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(looked at his mom) Mom.. At least not you.
Carlo Langley (ML's dad)
❄️❄️They are not edited, Matt. They are the truth that we have seen with our own eyes in our business trip.
” Now, when dad told me, I couldn’t say anything more.”
” Father’s words shocked me.”
” There were so many questions going in my mind. Was she really Artemis ? Why is she being intimate with an older man ? Why did she enter that room ? Couldn’t she wait for me like how I waited for her ? “
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(standing silently)
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(gasps in shock after seeing the photos)
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
(looks aside) I can’t believe my own grandson doesn’t believe me. (bitter smile)
” I felt a stinging pain in my heart when grandpa said I didn’t believe him with a bitter smile filled with sadness.”
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(looked at his grandpa)
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(Went towards Matt ) Matt..
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(looked at Lyra)
” I looked at mom, who was on the verge of tears.”
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(quivering voice) Hear..Hear this re..recording.
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(plays the recording)
.
.
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(shocked to the core)
” What is this ? What kind of hell was she speaking ? My child and then abort him ? “
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
❄️❄️💢💢I KNEW IT THAT BÌŤÇH WAS PLANNING EVERYTHING FROM THE BEGINNING.
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
(fuming in anger)💢💢 ❄️❄️ I WILL KILL HER… Hah.. HOW DARE SHE .. Hah.. Haa.. (breathing heavily)
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(worried) Dad !! Calm down..
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
(collapsed on the sofa) Hah..Hah..Ha.. That woman..Hah…hah (feeling difficult to breathe)
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
GRANDPA !! (ran to Abram)
Carlo Langley (ML's dad)
DAD !! (run to Abram)
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(brings a glass of water) 😧 Dad, drink this. Calm down !!
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(helps him to drink water)
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
(gulps down in the water in one go) Hah 💨
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
Grandpa, don’t get worked up. I will handle this matter.
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
(scoffs) Handle..? Matt, you won’t be able to handle this matter. Because that Provence family is a snake. A woman who can kill his own husband can do anything. (blurted out)
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(gasps in shocked) What !! (cover her mouth)
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(widened his eyes )
” What !! Auntie Samara killed his own husband ? “
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(quivering voice) I feel shameful that she’s my best friend. (tears dripping)
Carlo Langley (ML's dad)
(consoling Lyra by pulling her into his hug)
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
❄️❄️I said to you all many times not to be close to that family.
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(looking at his mom with gloomy eyes)
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
(hold Matt’s both palms) Matt, my dear grandson, please, at least now, trust your grandpa. . Don’t fall into their traps. Please.. (tears brimming from his eyes) I beg you.. Please..
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
They can do anything to enter into our family.
” I couldn’t believe that the Provence family will stoop this low for getting connected with our family.”
Carlo Langley (ML's dad)
(rubs Abram’s back) Dad, please, don’t.. (feeling sad)
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
(looks at Matt) I never stopped you from doing anything. Even when you were close to that Provence family’s daughter, I didn’t stop you that time, too, since you were a kid.
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(listens to his grandpa silently)
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
(emotionally) Matt, what you see on the surface is not always the truth. Because there are many people who wear a mask of innocence on their sinful look.
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
We also don’t understand how those people may harm us.
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(nods) ❄️I understand, Grandpa..
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
(stroke Matt’s hair) And think carefully whether you really loved that woman or was it just an attraction towards her as you both were together since your childhood.. (pats on his shoulder) Think about it..
” That’s when it clicked in my mind. Did I really love her , or was it just an attraction towards her ? “
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
(stood up) May be you were securely attracted towards her without loving her.
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
Matt, love, and attraction are different feelings. Try to understand them differently. Don’t consider attraction as love. (Went away from his study)
” Mom and dad looked at me and gave me a reassuring smile and went out of the study room.”
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
* Love. Was she really my love ? * (closes his eyes while rubbing his forehead)
” That’s when someone whom I didn’t think of these days popped in my mind.”
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
* Fùçk, why is she disturbing my mind ? *
Matt’s POV ends
