Chapter: Chapter 19 : Glimmer of hope Mrs. Moyes excused herself from the living room and came out not long after. She strolled toward the man with a warm smile, she grabbed the set of car keys the man dropped on the table as she held an envelope filled with cash in the other. Her demeanor was calm and friendly as she extended the item toward him.“Here is the remaining balance,” she said smoothly, watching his eyes light up as he reached for the money. “You have done an incredible job, and I truly appreciate it.”The man, oblivious to the sinister undertone in her voice, pocketed the money and gave a polite nod. “Thank you, ma’am. If there’s anything else you need, do not hesitate to call me.”Mrs. Moyes tilted her head, her smile unwavering. “Of course. But before you go, will you not have something to eat? You have done so much already, and it is only fair you leave here with a full stomach.”The man hesitated, but the aroma of freshly prepared stew coming from the kitchen proved too tempting. “Well, I suppose a quick

Chapter: Chapter 18 : Verdict Finally, the door opened, and a doctor emerged, his expression serious but calm. All eyes turned toward him as they all rushed toward him. “I have good news and bad news,” the doctor began, his voice firm but calculated. “Which would you like to hear first?”The crowd instinctively turned to Elena, who stared at the doctor with a mixture of fear and hope.“I think I would go for the good news,” she said, her voice trembling slightly.The doctor nodded. “The good news is that Catherina is still alive. She is in a more stable condition now than when she was brought in. We were able to stop the bleeding and address some of her injuries.”A collective sigh of relief swept through the room, though Elena’s heart remained heavy. She braced herself for the other shoe to drop.“And the bad news?” she asked hesitantly.The doctor’s expression grew darker. “The bad news is that she is still in a coma. She has sustained several soft tissue injuries, which means her recovery will be a long and de

Chapter: Chapter 17 : Fading away Catherina did not even have the time to scream or scoot out of the way, the car slammed into her with brutal force sending her body sprawling onto the hard pavement. A pool of her blood began to form as horrified gasps erupted from onlookers. The driver, without hesitation, sped away, the screech of his tires piercing the air.People rushed to her aid, panic and urgency filling the scene.“Someone should immediately call for help, she is bleeding profusely!” a woman cried.Among the crowd, a young man quickly jotted down the car’s license plate number on his phone. The car had been tinted which made it difficult for him or anyone to denote who was driving the car at the time. Luckily the number plate was different from the regular cars that had always driven in that neighborhood. Another man bent down, checking for a pulse.“She is still alive, but barely,” he said, voice trembling. “We need to get her to a hospital now!”Two men stepped forward, lifting Catherina’s limp body as care

Chapter: Chapter 16 : Shattered IllusionsCatherina lay on her bed, her face buried in her tear-soaked pillow as she heard the voice of her aunt, the sobs racked her chest showing no signs of stopping. The sound of her door creaking open barely registered in her grief-stricken haze. A soft voice spoke again.“Catherina?”It was her aunt, Elena, standing hesitantly in the doorway. Her face was a mix of concern and sympathy. She stepped into the room, her footsteps soft, and sat on the edge of the bed beside her niece. Elena reached out and placed a comforting hand on Catherina's back.“Darling, sit up and talk to me,” Elena urged gently. “Whatever it is, keeping it bottled up will not help.”Catherina sniffled, slowly sitting up as Elena guided her. Her hair was a mess, and her cheeks streaked with tears. Her face had gone red, and she had a headache. She tried to speak, but the words were caught in her throat. Her lips quivered, and fresh tears spilled over.Both of them stared at each for a few seconds with no words said.

Chapter: Chapter 15 : Shattered dreamsCatherina stood there frozen on the sidewalk, her mind racing as she stared at the black car and the glove that appeared.The man then repeated his request, more aggressive this time than the last one “Get in the backseat! Do not waste my time,” she did not heed the command immediately as she was panicking.The man’s sharp command still echoed in her ears: “Get in the backseat. Do not waste my time.” She hesitated, her heart pounding. Should she comply? The tone of his voice left no room for argument, yet stepping into the car felt like surrendering control.The man’s impatience flared again. “I hate saying things twice! Do not make me repeat myself.”Weighing her options, Catherina decided against her instincts and obeyed. She climbed into the backseat, her breaths shallow, as the door closed firmly behind her. Turning her head, her eyes widened when she saw who was seated beside her, Mrs. Moyes. “I said it!” Catherine thought to herself, the car did look familiar.The woman sat stiff

Chapter: Chapter 14 : Desperate move"Fine..." He said, stepping back. Natasha breathed out in relief."Let's say you didn't take it. “ Anthony said, tucking his hands in his pants."We shouldn't say, I didn't take it. Stop accusing me for something I have no idea of." Natasha said, acting brave. She wasn't going to admit, at least not anytime soon. He wouldn't find the phone, she made sure of that."Really?" Anthony asked, tilting his head to the right scrutinizing her face. He knew Natasha and the way her eyebrows shook whenever she told a lie. Anthony tilted his head to the left, still watching her."Why are you watching me like that?" She asked, coughing slightly. She was feeling nervous under his stare and couldn't keep the eye contact anymore."Admit it." Anthony said."Admit what?" She asked, sending her hands to her neck, rubbing it slightly."That you took it, just admit it Natasha and I'll just overlook everything." He said."Okay that does it, I won't stay here and watch you disrespect me over something I didn'
