The devil's most subtle trick is to assure you that he does not exist.

- Ha-ha," came the brunette voice, "you didn't listen to me again, Edie. Is that the way to do it? What's so hard about listening to your father?
- Aaron, I'm sorry, I walked into a trap I know no way out of...
- What do you want from me?
- Help, I want revenge...
- Are you sure about what you said about your friends?
- My death was good for them, I didn't know it would turn out this way, but in a moment, I realized that everyone around me wants to hurt me...
- Edie, you're like a second son to me and I can't let you be sad or hurt... I'm always there for you, so give me time, send everything you've got on them and just watch...
- I'm always in your debt...
- Don't you dare say that, it's just, you're my son and I'm your father, I do my duty. - He smirked and dropped the call...
- Who are we to play with evil? - Probably a question any of us would ask, but not Aaron Scott, he had a different game with darkness called competition, whoever crushes the most wins...

On behalf of Vivivina:- V, who were you thinking of? - Asked Oscar.
- "Joanna," I said and looked at the guy.
- I don't understand, what does she have to do with this?
- I just a few minutes ago was in the hall where I met her, she was somewhere, she certainly didn't want to see me, but, I exchanged a few words with her and reminded her that tomorrow is a funeral and need to prepare a speech, to which she told me, "Do you believe that Ed died?" I gave her a strange look and said that the doctor confirmed it, she got mad at me and said that I don't understand anything and he is alive, she left me in complete confusion...
- Now all the puzzles are coming together," Tony sat down in his chair.
- What do you mean?
- Joanna's gone crazy, she really thinks Ed's alive, and to prove it to us she's been slipping everyone papers with different inscriptions on them, she knows almost everything about us...
- Where did she get the key?
- Daniel, he's with her, not because he wants to be, he has to because he cares about Jo...
- So you're saying that Dan, in order to get her close to him, is playing along with her?
- He told us himself that he likes Joanna and would do anything to have her near him, especially with Ed gone...
- What a nightmare! - I covered my face with my hands. It's disgusting!
- Daniel and I need to talk... - Said Oscar...

On behalf of Joanna:
I was in a meeting with Ed again, I don't know what's going on... Sometimes when I look at myself in the mirror I really feel like I've lost my mind.
I was lying on the bed in the fetal position and crying, I felt like I was in a mystical movie, I don't understand what Ed is trying to do...
There was a knock on the door and it opened, and Daniel appeared on the threshold.
