Kent POV
My head throbs as I slowly stretch my wide open. Last night was like a dream but when I felt a heavy head lying on my arms, I saw her, the woman I resented fifteen years ago. She's calmly sleeping beside me. She's still in her deep sleep and I didn't want to wake her up. I slide her hair covering from her face and locked it behind her ears. I smiled to see the full view of her bare face. She's still beautiful as ever. I suddenly stop caressing her face when she started to move her body.
I didn't want to wake her. I'm still enjoying seeing her this way, at peace, with no worries and just having a sweet dream. I gently yanked myself from the mattress to prepare something for us to eat. I ambled to the kitchen and I found bacon and eggs inside the fridge. I decided to cook them since it's the only food I saw. I took one cold beer and gulped them in one shot.
After cooking them, I prepared them for the table. I feel like I'm a chef too. I wa
Kent went home with a tiger's face. He was furious to find out how Eloisa managed to betray him and keep him a secret.She had a lot of excuses to explain. Now that he knew everything about her bad intentions to Lucy and him, he won't let it slide."Eloisa! Where are you? Let us talk!", Kent's roaring voice echoed inside the mansion.He went inside their room but there's no sign of Eloisa. He looks fo Austin but he's not inside his room too. He started to feel nervous. What if Eloisa found out that Greta was Lucy? What if Gale told her the truth?Kent went to her office but it was locked. He went to their basement to find a hammer to destroy it. He felt relieved when the door swung open. He quickly went inside and hoping to find any evidence or information about her dirty business back then when she put Lucy to prison. He also wanted to confirm if their marriage and adoption paper for Austin are all fabricated.He fir
Lucy POVI felt relieved to find out about Kent's confession. I thought he did it because he loves Eloisa and he just hit on me because they want to have a child. I felt broken that day when Eloisa told me that they planned it all from the very first start until I conceived our baby Austin.As I walked outside, I saw my car nearby. I wonder how it got here when Kent brought me himself. Until I saw Cassandra waving at me in the driver's seat."What? Are you kidding me?", I said while coming towards her.She's having a cigarette in her mouth." What took you so long? Now my work is your driver!", she jokingly told me.I chuckled and set a silly smile on her."How come my detective is now my driver? Oh, I'm so sorry. Did Kent called you?", I asked Cassandra.She giggled and nodded.I rolled my eyes towards her before I get inside. I sat in the driver's seat while Cassandra m
Kent decided to report a murder and kidnapping case for Eloisa. He also added an Estafa case for faking their marriage and adoption paper about Lucy's son Austin.Eloisa had no idea that the police is now on their way to get her.She was at the mansion and trying to call Brian to find Kent because she noticed her picture frame was being touched by someone." Hello, Brian. Call Rey and Niel to hide. I got caught!", she walked back and forth inside her room while putting her dresses inside her suitcase."What? Eloisa, I thought you burned them? How did you become so careless?", Brian got mad and almost yelling on the other line.Eloisa's body was shaking that she can't control it. She's afraid that her father will kill her if he found out what kind of daughter is she." I'm sorry but Kent took all our evidence! Let's talk later. I will finish packing to get out of here too." She ordered them to hide.
Kent POV8:00 pmAfter I reported Eloisa to the police station, I brought Austin with me going to the airport. I took him and Cassandra with me. I was very thankful that Lucy had a friend like Cassandra."Did you know that Lucy was a badass inside the prison? When she punches our co-inmate in the face, she looks fantastic!", she said with action.Kent slightly smiled after hearing Cassandra's incredible story." Really? I didn't know that she was a fighter! She's so shy back then and quiet." He informed Cassandra about Lucy's real image.Austin was busy playing video games on his PSP while Cassandra was trying to call Lucy. Kent was focus on his driving.Cassandra dialed Lucy's number again but she's not answering. She started to panic. This is not a good sign."Kent, she's not picking my call! I've been calling three times but Lucy isn't taking it!", Cassa
Lucy POV I woke up early to prepare my husband's breakfast. Cassandra was assigned to everything when it comes to our son Austin. I agreed to our arrangement since her daughter passed away five years from now. I steamed a tuna fish with a pair of macaroni soup, his favorite. It's seven in the morning and I climbed upstairs to check Kent if he's already up. I entered the room and my face brightened to see my husband laying on the mattress still sleeping soundly and peacefully. It's been five years when our lives turned upside down with all the dramas and heartaches we've been through together. I walked closer and sat beside him. I took a deep breath and caress his face when he quickly pulled me against him. I fell on his hard chest and I blush when he showered me with soft kisses on my face. "Hmmm, why you're up so early, honey? How can you leave your handsome husband alone in our room?", he teases me and he c
Cassandra was running in the darkness. She's calling for help because she saw a man wearing a black raincoat with a Freddy mask on his face. His right hand was holding a sharp knife and ready to slash her throat once he catches her."Help! Help! Someone wanted to kill me!", Her throat cracks and almost dry from a never-ending marathon from the killer.***She looked back but the unknown man wasn't there anymore. Droplets of sweat rolled down her face and her tension subsided when the guy vanished. She feels relieved and slows down her speed." Where is he?", she said while checking her behind.The empty road was quiet and only the barking of dogs can be heard in the empty lot she was at right now. Her eyes roamed around and she saw no traces of her abductor but she's wrong.***A
Lucy POV I set my alarm clock at six in the morning because tomorrow is the special day for Eloisa and Gale. These two once wrecked my life and future but everything came to terms and it's all in the past. *** I rose from my bed as I heard my alarm clock ring. It's exactly six in the morning. I check my husband beside me and as usual, he's sleeping like the dead. "Honey, wake up! Let's prepare for Eloisa and Gale's wedding!", I am shaking Kent's shoulders and finally he woke up too. He stretches his arms and gently opens his eyes. " Oh, honey, it's too early to go. I thought their wedding will starts at eight." Kent told me while he keeps yawning like he didn't have a good night's sleep. I frowned and pouted my lips. I hate being late and besides Eloisa needs my help since her dad bestowed her Nd he migrated to another country. "Come on. You take a sh
Raphael attended the wedding ceremony of his daughter's murderer even it's against his will. Lucy requested him to just set aside his anger and just enjoy the day. He's now old and he wants a peaceful living with his daughter, son-in-law, and his grandson so he accepted Lucy's request.The wedding venue was held in one of the finest hotels in Makati. The Rich Bell's hotel catered everything from the menu, drinks, and party games for the couple and visitors. All who received an invitation letter were there. They called the VIP's and if you didn't have a card barcode, you can't pass inside.While everyone is busy dancing, cheering, and having a good time, Austin ran to the restroom to take a pee. Cassandra, who served to be his nanny focused on the incredible act of a magician the coupled hired for entertainment and didn't realize that Austin wasn't beside her anymore."Austin? Austin! Where are you?", she quietly looks
Lucy POVSometimes, in our life, we do the things we didn't wish to do. Sometimes, we tend to hurt our friends, loved ones, and even the person closest to our hearts. Sometimes, we didn't know that we almost forgot to put our deepest gratitude to the one highest to us, our protector, and our maker, the Almighty God. Sometimes, we seek revenge on those who hurt us, and sometimes we didn't resent the thing we do wrong but are you happy living like that?I thought putting them to prison or paying their sins is enough but it wasn't. People with a dark and stone heart don't know how to forgive, how to love, and how to do good deeds. Their heart was filled with evil power and Cassandra and Val had it.I and Kent just received a call from Detective Riley this time because Detective Morgan is out of town. He told us the bad news about Val and Cassandra escaping jail. Another bad news for my husband Kent is that he got a call from his step
Lucy went home after confronting Eloisa. She witnesses a huge revelation for following her. She bid goodbyes at one another and she decided to drop off at their company.She used the elevator for convenient transportation. She arrived in front of her husband's office and she knocked slowly. She didn't wait for any second when Kent opened his office door."Hi, honey. I'm back." She said and planted a soft kiss on his lips.Kent looked mad after he shut the door behind her."What happened? I told you to stay away from Cassandra and take care of Austin! Don't tell me you haven't get your lesson yet!", Kent's tone seems like she was to blame for the kidnapping incident.Kent's cupped his head when Lucy slapped his face.It leaves a red mark." How dare you Kent. I am just doing this to secure the safety of our family especially Austin! Do you think I am doing this for myself?", she suddenly burst
Val POVThis is not the end of everything. They think they're safe even inside the prison. I will kill all of you especially Alexander who let my daughter die. Their money is not enough to buy their life.I saw Gifford, their cellmates. I need to approach him about my plan. I will ask for his little help tonight. Cassandra and I talked about our plan yesterday when she sneaks into our cell.FlashbackCassandra waited for the security guards to have a break for coffee shifts before she sneaks inside the boy's cell. She needs to tell Val about her plan how to assassinate their daughter's murderer.She went to his cell. She called Val from the outside. She prepared a letter about what to do for Paul and Alexander. Tomorrow, the security guards will bring them to another penitentiary where only two of them will stay. It's called the VIP cellar.Val was awak
Eloisa POV I secretly visited the real Cassandra inside the prison. No one knows about this even my husband or Lucy. I went alone and I wanted to ask many questions about her why she went to this point to kidnapping my husband's nephew who's very dear to my heart. I want to keep this to avoid everyone being suspicious about me. Well, I have a secret. I came to visit my sister's friend Catalina. Upon my mom's rehabilitation process, she was there. We met even I'm still young that day, I know exactly what Catalina looks like. They were so much alike by her sister so they think they're twins but that's not the truth. Catalina was Cassandra's little sister and she has a mental disorder where she loves copying someone. She's under the care of Cassandra when we saw her with dad. I hope someone didn't follow me. I took a deep breath before entering the hospital. Mom was there too and I need a little time to get her out
Lucy POVAfter the kidnapping incident of my son Austin, I decided to visit Cassandra inside the prison.My dreams are telling me to come and see her. I want to ask many questions and I am hoping that she could answer all of them. This sounds ridiculous but I want to help her even though she tried to steal my husband for one night and to get my child. I need to clarify something about us inside the prison. Something isn't right. I saw the pin in her hair same with Eloisa. I want to know how it happened that their things were so much alike.I wonder if it was just a coincidence. I don't know but I am not contented with her and Val went to prison and her sister Catalina to the Asylum. I think something is not right. I need to know more about her so I can have peace in my mind.I'm glad that Austin slowly recovered from his trauma in the kidnapping incident. I got a new nanny for him and her name is Laura. She's fi
Three weeks after Lucy got shot...Kent hurriedly called the doctor to check his wife's condition when Lucy moves her right fingers."Is she going to wake up? She's moving her fingers, doc! Honey, it's me, Kent!", he whispered closer to her ears.The doctor and nurses prepared everything to check her vitals if she's now in active mode, meaning, her organs are now working well. P" Let's wait for her reactions again. Maybe this is a good sign." Her doctor said.While everyone is waiting for her reaction, Lucy suddenly trembled and Kent started to panic."Doc, what is happening to my wife?", he doesn't know what to do.The doctor checks her bp and her pulse." Sir, please calm down. Let's wait for the progress. She's getting reactions from the dose we injected to her." Kent went closer and hold Lucy's hands."Honey, please, you need to wake up. You're safe now and Austin." He said
The real Cassandra has finally awake. She was confined at the Makati Hospital after she got shot by Kent for self-defense. She was struggling from being chained and keep screaming inside like crazy Carolina too."Let me out!", she shouted until two police officers came." Mrs. Wilson, it's time for you to get back to jail! You will be facing multiple cases and you will be imprisoned for ten years!", Leutinant Mikael said while they unchained her and replaced it with handcuffs."No, I won't go with you. You can't take me to the jail! I'm innocent!", she cried out.But police officers didn't listened to her. They put her on the wheelchair and put her inside the police car. While Cassandra arrested by the police to pay for her sin, Lucy is still unconscious." How is Lucy?", Kent's brother Gale asks him.Eloisa went to the supermarket with Austin. She helps the child cope up with the trauma he has been
"Let me go! I am not crazy! My daughter is waiting for me. I am Cassandra Wilson and I am stable!", she screamed while they put her inside the ambulance to be sent to the asylum.***Lucy and her family are having dinner when they received a call that made them shake." What? Cassandra has a twin?", she asks Damian on the other line."Yes, Miss Mason. Her name is Carolina Hermes and she's living as a patient at and the Mandaluyong mental center. " The couple started to get nervous again.Meaning, Cassandra is still out there!", the detective added.Lucy's hand trembled to the sudden news. She has no idea that Cassandra has a twin and the one she treated as her dear friend was the crazy Carolina."No! You're lying, sir! It's impossible!", she told him but Detective Damian confirmed it with the hospital report, and also Cassandra's husband confessed about his wife's twin.
"Lucy?", she uttered. Her soft voice trembled.Lucy turned around and as soon as she saw Cassandra, her eyes started to sharpen."Yes, it's me. Your one and only friend that you betrayed!", she said while staring at Cassandra with her glaring eyes.Cassandra walked towards her and find an empty chair in front of her. Her face became thinner and her wrinkles almost covered her forehead. She is getting older and maybe because of the domestic effect, she hadn't had a good appetite inside the prison.Lucy feels pity for her in a good way. Even she took Austin and kidnap her, she's not the type of person that held a grudge against someone that hurts her. Just like Eloisa and Gale, she forgives them.Cassandra cleared her throat before she started to release a few words at Lucy." So what brings you here? Do you want to say something?", she asked her.Lucy clenched her fist on her lap.
