Diego rushed downstairs, his heart pounding, the moment the servant breathlessly informed him about Luca. He was utterly shocked by the scene in the hall: Luca was standing menacingly, hurling the gun at his own mother, Marcella.
"Luca, what are you doing?" Diego demanded, immediately sprinting towards his mother. He instinctively pulled her behind him, shielding her with his own body.
Luca's eyes were cold and focused. "Sending your mother to hell," he stated. "But I can spare her life if you tell me the truth: Who forged Sara's signatures, or who made her sign those papers?"
The commotion drew Adam back into the hall. His eyes grew wide with terror, seeing the horrifying tableau: Luca was now pointing the gun directly at Diego.
"You can put me into prison, but you won't find the truth," Diego replied defiantly, his voice steady despite the gun aimed at his chest.
