But what exactly were they trying to gain? Why would they have to lie? Why would they have to falsefully accuse me? If they merely told the public that Hart died, who would question them about what killed him? Who exactly?

"So, the person you claim you know that dine and wine with the mafia Boss told you that his name is not Paolo, it is Moderico? Can I see his picture?" I asked trying to figure out what was going on.

"That is all. I cannot tell you any other thing. Afterall, you killed my grandson. There is clearly nothing I have to tell you. Prepare yourself for the lawsuit. " He said. I knew it was annoying but I could not figure out what was going on. If what they were saying is true, then who is Paolo? If Paolo is not the Italian Mafia Boss, who is he then? Why did he claim he was the mafia boss. Why did Hart insist that he had the face of the Italian Mafia Boss? What exactly was going on? If Hart's grandfather was right, then I might had to go to jail seeing that what I claimed was false. What exactly would I have done? I left his house with several thoughts running in my head. Karina was still outside waiting for me.

"What happened?" She asked lifting her eyebrows.

"Something unexpected. We will talk about it later. Let us leave here. " I said as I entered her car. She entered the driver's seat and started the car.

"You are going to defend me, right?" I asked.

"Of course. But the problem is evidence. How are we supposed to get one? We cannot travel to Afghanistan to gain evidence, you know?" She said.

"Let us ask Mike first. He helped us through while we were there, he might have something. Can we not summon him as a witness?" I asked.

"It is not solid. We have to find a stronger witness. " She replied.

"So, you mean we have to go to Afghanistan,?" I asked surprised.

"Yes. That is the only way we could go about it. We can get help through Mike afterall. " She replied.

"That is going to be hard. The trial is almost near, you know that right? Karina. " I insisted.

"We have less than two weeks left. We just have to manage the remaining time left. Don't worry Mira. Everything will be fine. " She replied. This time, I did not bother to shout because I knew what she said did not matter, what matters was what would happen.

"In fact, I don't understand the whole issue. " I said. My phone rang and I picked it up. It was Mike.

"Hello Mike. " I said as I picked up my call.

"We have a problem. " That was the first thing he said.

"What is it? Did something bad happen?" I asked.

"Fazio is dead. " He said.

"What?" I screamed.

"Fazio is dead? I mean why would Fazio die? What killed him?"

"I am not sure. But the problem is Paolo is not the Italian Mafia Boss. " He replied. I was speechless. Silence broke down. Karina overheard out phone call because the call speaker was loud.

"What do you mean? How did you figure that out?" Karina asked.

"Oh! Miss Karina, you are there. I was looking through some information about Paolo but the weird thing is his details did not align with the information provided on internet. And, my informant told me he was not the one after he saw his picture." He said.

In actual fact, it did not make perfect sense. Hart recognized him as the Italian Mafia Boss, Paolo also said he was the mafia boss when he attacked us. He not being the mafia boss is confusing.

"If he is not the mafia boss, then who is he?"

"Fazio's enemy. " He replied.

"I know he is Fazio's enemy, who is he personally? Why would he claim he was the mafia boss when he is not? Why?" I asked like I was going to get an answer.

"He is just a rich psychopath. A villain!" He replied.

"I knew it. He is a psychopath. I could see through him. He strangled Hart and left with his body showing no depth of emotions. I am going to kill him. This time, I am not going against the mafia boss, but a psychopath. ' I said.

"Yes. It would be easier to bring him to court. It will be more easier this time. " Karina said.

" Yes. Thank you Mike. " I said as I hung up.

"Karina, do we still need to go to Afghanistan?" I asked.

"I am not sure. We have to see how things go. Now, you have to tell me everything. From the very beginning without leaving out anything. '

"But, I told you everything already. "

"No, you did not. I am sure there are some things you did not tell me. You are hiding something. "

"No. I am not. You are my best friend. I cannot hide anything from you. Okay?" I said trying to reassure her.

"Well, I will believe you for now. But, you better tell me everything so I know what I am working on. You know I am against Prosecutor Augustus. He is smart. Very. " She said.

"You are more smarter. " I replied as we both laughed.

Things were going tougher and better. I had the time to laugh when I guessed I should have cried. If I had cried really hard, I guess I would have known how much he was to my heart. Though, I realized that and I missed him. I really missed him. I missed every part of him. What would I have done? What exactly was my fate? Would I die? Would I live? Fazio was dead, what would I have done? I was utterly hopeless. Nothing worked out for me. I only had Karina and Mike behind me. Only God knew what would happen. Would they betray me? I did not have any other time to trust anyone.
