DARLA'S POINT OF VIEW

The stalker's words still lingered in my mind, but I pushed them aside and focused on getting ready for the evening. My mom had been invited to a dinner conversation with her employer, Mister and Mrs. Delacroix, and their whole family. We didn't have the most elegant dresses, but Grandma and Mom managed to find something suitable for us to wear.

By six p.m., we arrived at the entrance of the Delacroix's grand mansion, where Mom worked. The property belonged to a French couple who had chosen to reside in Bali. As we stepped inside, I was struck by the opulence that surrounded us. Gold accents glittered on every surface, and even the maids looked impeccably dressed, a testament to Mister Delacroix's kindness.

"Good evening, sir and ma'am," I said, extending my greetings to the hosts, with a slight bow.

"Ah, you must be Darla. It's a pleasure to finally meet you," Mister Delacroix said warmly.

"The pleasure's all mine, sir. Thank you for having me over," I replied.

  • A Lifetime With Her    Sebastian's Apology

    DARLA'S POINT OF VIEW "Get back here, you fucking bitch!" Hillary yelled as I ran down the stairs. I turned to see him holding his bleeding face, rage in his eyes.I rushed to the dining table and stood behind my mom, trying to put distance between Hillary and me. "Hillary, dear, what happened?" Mrs. Delacroix asked, once she saw his face, concern etched on her face."Why don't you ask that witch right there?" Hillary yelled, pointing at me.Mrs. Delacroix's expression turned angry. "What did you do to my son?" she demanded."Your son tried to rape me!" I defended, my voice loud and shaking.The room fell silent, with all eyes on me. "What? What did you just say, Darla?" my mom muttered in disbelief."He forced himself on me and tried to sleep with me, saying it wouldn't take time," I whispered, tears welling up in my eyes.Mister Delacroix spoke up, his voice incredulous. "So, you tried to kill my son because he tried to touch you?"I scoffed, disgust on my face. "What nonsense ar

  • A Lifetime With Her    Connecting The Dots

    DARLA'S POINT OF VIEW I opened the door, ready to start my day, but my smile faltered as I saw the two officers standing before me. Concern etched on my face, I stepped back and called out to my mom and grandma."Mom? Grandma?" My gaze never left them.They quickly appeared beside me, and Mom asked the officers, "What seems to be the problem?"The red-haired officer replied, "We're looking for Miss Ana."My mom took a step forward, "Yes, that's me. May I know why you're looking for me?"But before she could react, the officer pulled out handcuffs and secured them around her wrists. My world crumbled as I heard the words:"Miss Ana Matthew, you're under arrest as the prime suspect in the murder of Mister Hillary Delacroix."I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. My mom, arrested? It can't be true. I looked at Grandma, who seemed just as shocked and devastated as I was."What? That's impossible!" Grandma exclaimed. "You must be mistaken!"But the officers just read my mom her rights

  • A Lifetime With Her    The Real Truth From Anthony's Family

    DANIEL'S POINT OF VIEW It's been days since Monica's discharge from the hospital, and Sophia has been doing a great job keeping an eye on her. Monica's been faking her need for a wheelchair, and Sophia's gathered evidence to prove it. Now, I need more proof before I confront Monica about her lies. I suspect she's planning something with Amaya, and as much as I hate to admit it, my mother might be my only hope at finding out. She seems to be against Amaya now and is trying to make amends.In my office, I was going through documents when James burst in. "We've found the location of the real Huangs," he said, taking a seat.I immediately put aside what I was doing and focused on what he had to say. "Where are they?" I asked, my interest piqued.“As you requested, Mister Brandford put a hold on the search for Darla to find the Huangs. We found out that they fled to Uzbekistan.” James revealed.“How long can it take me to get there?” I inquired.“A few days. I don't know, I've never been

  • A Lifetime With Her    Monica's Hidden Secrets: Malik Affan

    DANIEL'S POINT OF VIEWJames and I departed from the Huangs' residence as soon as we obtained the desired information. I had previously told Monica that I would be spending my time in the office, and she didn't suspect otherwise, unaware that I had arranged for a team to escort the Huangs to a secure location.Upon our return, James and I swiftly began searching for Anthony's boyfriend's family. Within a few hours, we successfully located their address and headed there. Once we arrived, we got straight to the point."We're looking for the truth," I said firmly. "We want to know what happened to your son, Mrs. Miller."Mrs. Miller, the mother of Patrick Miller, Anthony's deceased boyfriend, broke down in tears. "That brutal woman killed my son," she sobbed, overcome with grief.I handed her a box of tissues, and James and I exchanged a somber glance. We knew that uncovering the truth wouldn't be easy, but we were determined to see justice served."Monica?" I asked, and she nodded in re

  • A Lifetime With Her    Back In Rehab

    DANIEL'S POINT OF VIEW "How did you know it was Malik who murdered Troy?" James asked, his curiosity piqued.I recalled the chilling voicemail. "I recognized his voice in the background, speaking in an Arabic tone right before the shot was fired. I can't forget the distinctive sound of his accent."James raised an eyebrow. "And that makes him the murderer?"I connected the dots. "Both Monica and Malik escaped from rehab. I think she might have hired him to do her a favor, like killing Troy. Did the email give any further information?"“Yes, there are a lot of files. Let me just download them.” James replied.After a few minutes, his expression turned horrified. "You may be right, Daniel. Malik and Monica tortured a fellow inmate to death, making it look like a suicide. They were caught trying to delete the evidence and fled. They're currently wanted."I felt a chill run down my spine. "God, who is Monica? How could they have tortured someone to death?"James' eyes locked onto mine, h

  • A Lifetime With Her    The Truth Comes To Light

    DARLA'S POINT OF VIEW After my conversation with Sebastian on the road that day, a series of mysterious events unfolded. My mother was released from custody without explanation, and the Hillary incident was dropped as if it never happened. My doubts about Sebastian's involvement grew exponentially.Meanwhile, Sebastian's harassment intensified. He progressed from pushing me to orchestrating more sinister "accidents": slippery floors, oncoming vehicles, and even stalking me. The final straw was when he appeared at my house dressed in a horror costume, holding a knife. But I refused to be intimidated.Determined to expose the truth, I collaborated with a hospital doctor to uncover the identity of the woman Sebastian had paid to induce my miscarriage. With this new information, I reached out to Myra, and arranged a secret meeting.I chose a discreet café, ensuring Sebastian wouldn't follow me.

  • A Lifetime With Her    You're Under Arrest, Sebastian Smith

    DARLA'S POINT OF VIEW Cecelia, Myra, and I waited a week before meeting up, careful not to arouse suspicion. During that time, I scoured the internet for information about the shooting incident at Daniel's company. What I found broke my heart and left me conflicted. Despite my hatred for Daniel, reading about his company's downfall tore me apart. Maybe I still loved him, even after he tried to kill me.A week later, we met at the potato farm where Grandma Amelia and my mother worked. Amelia brought her uncle, the police chief, as promised. As we surveyed the vast crop land, I handed him the evidence I had gathered on Sebastian. "Will this be enough to put him in prison?" I asked.The police chief took the documents and said, "I'll need to review these and do some additional research before we can make an arrest.""How long will that take?" I asked, concern etched in my voice."With the witness records, hospital statements, and concrete proof you've provided, it should only take me th

  • A Lifetime With Her    The Sentencing Of Sebastian

    DARLA'S POINT OF VIEW I stood in the courtroom, my heart racing with anticipation, as Judge Thompson entered and took his seat. It had been three long weeks since Sebastian's arrest, and I had been waiting for this moment, for what felt like an eternity."Sebastian Smith, you have been found guilty of Attempted Murder of an Unborn Child, Attempted Murder in the First Degree, and Reckless Endangerment in the First Degree," Judge Thompson began. "The severity of your crimes is unparalleled, and the court has taken into consideration the harm you caused to Darla Matthew and her unborn child."I felt a lump form in my throat as the judge continued. "For the charge of Attempted Murder of an Unborn Child, I hereby sentence you to twenty-five years to life in prison. For the charge of Attempted Murder in the First Degree, I sentence you to thirty years to life in prison, to be served consecutively with the first sentence.

  • A Lifetime With Her    Malik Gets Apprehended

    DANIEL'S POINT OF VIEW As soon as I dropped Monica off at home, I headed out to my car, despite the late hour. I called James as I walked, and he answered on the first ring."Hey, are you there?" I asked."We've got his location, and we're waiting outside his house," James replied. "Mister Brandford and I are here, and I've also got the police force ready to take him down. Brandford dug up some dirt on him, and it turns out Malik wasn't mentally unstable at all. He lied to get into rehab and lay low for the crimes he committed."I stopped dead in my tracks. "What kind of crimes did he commit?""Human trafficking," James revealed. "The FBI raided their operation once and caught most of them, but Malik escaped by pretending to be mentally unstable. The court believed him because he was a victim of abuse. With what we know now, he's going away for life."I let out a frustrated expletive. "Alright, I'll be there soon. Make sure he doesn't escape."I quickly got into my car and started th

  • A Lifetime With Her    Getting Monica Out

    DANIEL'S POINT OF VIEW When we arrived, the staff greeted us warmly, and we were led to a private room.The room was privately reserved as I had told Monica. The place belonged to James' friend, so it would be easy to get our plan done.As we sat down, Monica couldn't help but notice the champagne chilling in the bucket. "You're really going all out, aren't you?" she said, raising an eyebrow.I smiled, pouring her a glass. "I want to make tonight special."We toasted and sipped our champagne, the conversation flowing easily. Monica laughed and smiled, her guard dropping with each passing minute.The evening wore on, and we laughed and talked like we used to. I made sure to keep the champagne flowing, and Monica's inhibitions began to fade.As the main course arrived, I reached across the table and took her hand. "I'm really glad we're doing this, Monica. I feel like we're reconnecting."Monica's eyes sparkled, and she squeezed my hand. "Me too, Daniel. Me too."I could smell the cham

  • A Lifetime With Her    The Plan To Get Monica Out

    DANIEL'S POINT OF VIEW "James, I can't keep pretending to be in love with Monica anymore. I need her out of my house soon," I lamented to James, who sat across from me in my office."I know, but it's only for a little while longer. The blackmail has been working perfectly, and I think she's going to fall for it," James consoled me.Ever since we put our blackmail plan into action, Monica had been on edge, always looking over her shoulder, scared that someone was lurking in the shadows. One touch and she would jolt in shock. She has become secretive, always hiding, but amidst all that, I have managed to gain her trust, making her think I was the good guy. She doesn't suspect a thing, and even if she did, there is no evidence on my devices."Monica is getting more clingy and tight-lipped. This whole love thing isn't working. We need another approach," I blurted out."I've called Mister Brandford. He'll be here soon, and then we can devise another plan," James explained."He better be h

  • A Lifetime With Her    Darla's Time To Shine

    DARLA'S POINT OF VIEW As soon as it was morning, and at an appropriate time, I dialed the phone number on the card and called Miss Vanessa Chen. I was nervous, pacing back and forth. Would she even answer? Would she still remember me? It has been a long time since she gave me her card, and I never called her. Would there even be a vacant position available anymore?After the third ring with no reply, my hope began to dwindle. I should have known this was pointless. But I didn't want to give up so soon, so I tried calling her again for the fourth time. And then, it connected."Yes, this is Vanessa Chen from DG AdVibe Bali. How may we be of service to you?" Vanessa said in a professional tone."Hi, Miss Vanessa, this is... um... Darla. The girl you met at a café some time ago. You said my voice was unique and gave me your card to consider a job. Do you still remember?" I asked nervously."Of course, how could I forget you? You were on the news recently," Miss Vanessa said with a hint o
