Chapter 28

Gerald a long ago installed CCTV in his room, but Kamila was unaware. He casually monitored her movements while enjoying a glass of wine. He was in the room alone, just to calm himself down. He had prepared food so that Kamila would not starve to death, and then there would be no one to torture anymore. a

Hearing the sound of the phone ringing, Gerald took the cell phone from his pants pocket. Victor's name appeared on the screen.

"Hello. What's the news?" asked Gerald. 

"I've got the information you want," Victor replied.

Gerald was pleased. "Good. Come and meet me at the park."

The call was disconnected by Gerald. Finally, Gerald would know the true reality of the information Victor would later provide—information that was obtained in less than twenty-four hours.

Gerald left his room and went to the garden. He sat down and enjoyed the well-tended flowers.

Victor arrived with a wealth of information, sitting in front of Gerald. 

"What banquet are you going to give me?" Victor made small talk.

Victor dared to say so because he was one of the closest members of the mafia to Gerald, so he was not stiff when speaking. Gerald understood.

"I don't care about your stomach. Hurry up and give me the information," Gerald said sternly. 

"Appreciate the hard work; I'm already tired of looking for information," Victor retorted. 

"Don't tell me too much; you're not working alone!"

Hearing Gerald's response, Victor burst out laughing.

"Okay. I'll tell you, but promise that after this we'll have a drink together," Victor said. 

"Yes, hurry up!" Gerald couldn't wait to find out.

Victor was getting serious. "You can read this report." He handed Gerald a blue folder.

Gerald read Kamila's identity. It had Kamila's full name and date of birth. Gerald found out that Kamila was twenty years old. I am still very young and currently studying at the University of Technology and Business, majoring in management. I am still in the second semester. The paper contained a detailed description of Kamila, including her likes and dislikes, as well as her hobbies.

On the next page was Kamila's family identity. Her father's name, her mother's name, and their occupations. Gerald's eyes bulged as he read the name of Kamila's brother, Reynaldi.

"Reynaldi, isn't that the name of Kamila's affair? Or maybe it's not her affair, but her brother. Could it just be the same name?" thought Gerald.

Gerald remembered that Kamila had told him that her mother was sick. It turned out to be true; her mother was being treated at Abadi Hospital for liver cancer, but now she had been operated on and was recovering. It was true that Miranda was her aunt, and Vira was her biological daughter.

Reading the identity of Kamila and her family, Gerald concluded that his wife's family was very difficult. He also turned the page after that, which was the identity of Miranda and Vira. Gerald read their identities; he knew that Vira and Kamila were the same age. In the data, there is the name of Miranda's husband's company, which he could destroy at any time.
There were many photos on the next page. There were photos of Kamila's activities at home and at college, photos of Kamila's father and mother, and a photo of Reynaldi that surprised Gerald. 

"This man who I told people to beat up turns out to be Kamila's brother. I thought it was just the same name, but with the same face too. There's no way that the face can be this similar," Gerald thought. 
Gerald noticed the photo of Kamila's mother and Miranda's aunt, who were twins, and then noticed the photo of Kamila and Vira, who were very similar. There was almost no difference if you didn't look closely. The folder had run out of sheets. Gerald was not satisfied with the information. 

"Is this all the information you can get?" asked Gerald. 

"Oh, no. There's more," Victor replied. 

"Which one? You should have given it right away," said Gerald. 

"Okay. Hold on. I'll send it to your number." Victor took his cell phone and sent two videos.

Gerald's cell phone rang; it was definitely from Victor. He saw that two videos had come in.

"What are these videos?" asked Gerald. 

"Just watch them first," Victor replied.

Gerald opened a video, which turned out to be a video of Vira being with someone. The video contains a conversation. In the video, a woman asked Vira many questions so that Vira divulged something that was a secret.

*"I was pregnant with my ex-boyfriend. He chased me, and the relationship happened like that. I ran away from the marriage because I was pregnant. But I had already aborted my child because I was ashamed. I went back home and found out from my mom's story that Kamila, who replaced me in marriage, is now living in luxury, and my future husband used to be healthy. I didn't accept Kamila's living happily. So, my mom and I came to confess that I was stolen by Kamila because Kamila wanted to replace my position. I slandered Kamila as a matre, even though I was the one who was tempted by Gerald's wealth. Hahahah. Gerald must want to divorce Kamila because he loves me. You know what? Gerald is really handsome. I'd be lucky to have him."*

"Shit. Bitch!" Gerald shouted. He almost slammed the phone with emotion. 

"How confident is this woman?" said Gerald. Now he knew the truth. What Kamila said was true. 

"Who is the woman in this video?" asked Gerald while pointing to a woman other than Vira. 

"That's Vira's best friend. We paid her to open her mouth. Fortunately, she was willing because she needed money, and we took the video secretly," Victor replied.

"Tsk! Friendships can be pawned for money. Good, I like your way of extracting information," said Gerald. 

"Victor is great." So confident.

Gerald gave him a sharp glance. "Hey, you're not working alone. Don't feel great!" he quipped.

Victor laughed. "Watch one more video."

Gerald nodded. He watched a video of Miranda with a woman who looked about the same age.

"That woman is Miranda, Kamila's aunt, with her socialite friend. We paid her a high price, according to her request. For us, it doesn't matter; the important thing is to get accurate information. We also took a video secretly." Victor explained.

Gerald listened to Victor while listening to the video. The woman was prying a lot, which was their secret.

*"My daughter is home, but you promise not to tell anyone that my daughter is pregnant out of wedlock and the child has been aborted. My daughter came back because she wanted to marry Gerald. If I get richer, I'll treat you to shopping later. I don't want that useless niece to become Gerald's wife. I was good enough to help pay for her mother's surgery with the money Gerald gave me and to get her brother out of jail. It's time for Kamila to return the favor; she should get a divorce from Gerald. Vira is more than that poor kid."

Gerald clenched his fists. "What materialistic women!"

Gerald had watched two videos, so he could already conclude that they were slandering Kamila, and Kamila was the victim here.
If Vira was compared to Kamila, of course Gerald would choose Kamila, especially after knowing how bad Vira and her mother were.
