Because of Bartholomew Carter, Amara's plan for the day was ruined. Henry lost his mood and asked her to leave. Even though pissed, she left with a smile and acted understanding. She has no choice but to wait for another opportunity.Since there's nothing else to do, Amara paid Arman a visit during his class. She remembered that his adviser wanted to talk to her about his acceleration. Every parent that saw her inside the school either smiled at her forcefully, or looked at her like she's some kind of criminal."I really don't know where she gets that confidence of hers. She has no decency, and no shame. I pity that boy she calls son." One of the mother said."Me too. I don't know how she can sleep well at night and wake up in the morning with the way she live her life." Another one said."You guys want to know how I sleep well at night and wake up in the morning? Simple. Because I don't give a damn about people like you. Imagine, you hate
Since her morning date with Henry was ruined by Bartholomew Carter, Amara decided to try and convince him to invite her to his home again. However, her connection to the Higgins family put her on a bad spot. Henry doesn't want to be dragged into the issue of the crime family. Now, she needs to think of another way to finally finish the job.His house is not the best spot because people come and go anytime. She can't risk someone walking in on what she's about to do. How will she finish her job? That's the question that she's been asking herself."Amara, are you okay?" Darson asked. It's the day of the Super Bowl, and they all agreed to watch it together.Arman is already in the living room waiting for the game to start, while Amara and Darson are in the kitchen preparing some food. He's been watching her for a while, and it was obvious that she's
What makes Amara the perfect serial killer is her ability to know when to divert any situation in her favor. She knows when is the perfect time to do something, especially when she knows that things are about to go south. Just like now, she agreed with an interview to ensure that she will remain the grieving ex-girlfriend of the late Sen. Andrew Higgins.Hanna Mendez is a new breed of journalist. She do podcast, vlogs, and unplanned interviews. Amara doesn't like her, but she has to. Bartholomew Carter saw her with another man, and she needs to do damage control as soon as possible."Ms. Keener, thank you for meeting me. How are things with you right now?" Hanna asked."Things are going great. In fact, I finally find the courage to pursue my passion for writing. I actually met a great author, Mr. Henry Cambert. He's a very nice person, and he even invited me into his home. Unfortunately, Bartholomew Carter barged into his house unannounced. I think Henry didn't
As the end of the school year is fast approaching, Arman and Kyle spend more time together. But now, they have an addition to their team. Arman named the dog he rescued as Bullet. He's starting to grow and change, and people are starting to notice that he's not just a typical dog. Some of their neighbors are saying that Bullet is not a dog, but a wolf.He feels scared because their neighbors are saying that Bullet needs to be taken away from them, but he begged Amara to do something. Luckily, she agreed. Darson and Amara helped so Bullet can be check by veterinarian, and the doctor confirmed that he was not wolf. Bullet is a Siberian Husky mixed with the Labrador breed."Arman, I have to tell you something." Kyle said out of nowhere. He sounded so sad, and Arman got confused."Is there a problem?" Arman asked."My dad said we will be leaving town, and we are never coming back. He said this town is no longer good for us.""What?
Time and time again, the world face an adversary. Sometimes these adversaries are heroes to others, just like the Scent of Death. Majority of the female population sees the Scent of Death as a hero. For them, she's a warning that men cannot abuse women and expect no repercussions. In fact, violence against women went down since the Scent of Death became widely known.Now that she's gone dormant, people–specially men, are being paranoid. They feel like someone is always watching them. Battered wives are starting to fight back, abused girlfriends are learning how to stand their ground, and mothers are beginning to have the courage to stand up for their children."Phil, we got a domestic abuse call in Lincoln Street." One police officer said."We got a report of a man running shirtless in Burton Street, wife is chasing him with a knife. Neighbor said the man was abusing his family." Another one said."Because of that serial killer, wome
"Mrs. Keener, here's your medicine."I keep wondering what she feels being locked away in here. Does she know where she is at all? I don't visit my mother often because she's a living, breathing reminder of what happened to me in my childhood. Whenever I see her, it's almost as if I can taste the blood inside my mouth everytime my stepfather slaps or punch me.The feeling that my hand itch just by staring at my mother, like I want to strangle someone to death. It's like a vile rising up my throat, and I can't force it down. Though I don't have a choice. I can't just forget about my mother. Regardless of what happened in the past, I have to take care of her."Thank you, Nurse Gella."After my mother's nurse left us, I can't help but stare at her. She's still the same beautiful woman that she was all those years ago. Those mesmerizing gray orbs, her heart-shaped face, and her natural red lips. My mother had men lining up at her f
In just two weeks, Darson will leave for his three-month contract. He will be at sea again, wit nothing else to hold on to but the truth that he will look forward to the day that he will see Amara again after three months. He meant it when he said that he will wait for her, no matter how long it takes. He doen't care how many times his family would try to convince him to marry someone else. He only wants Amara.Darson already packed his things, and his just waiting for the day of his departure. He's been spending almost with Arman, teaching him how to ride a bike and playing basketball with him. Part of the reason why he accepted the job is for Arman's future. He wants to make sure that he will be able to contribute something to make his life better."Darson, look! I finally finished this drawing." Arman announced proudly."Really? Let me see." Darson took the sketch pad from Arman and smiled. He's been developing new talents, and he's clearly a smar
Earlier this morning, the news said 'Matriarch Of A Crime Family Died Of Heart Failure'. Amara woke up to that news, and the first thing that came to her mind was that she escaped justice. She wanted Mrs. Higgins to suffer in jail. That's what she deserves after everything she done, just like the rest of her family.The only comfort that she has is the knowledge that the rest of her family is rotting in prison. Now that the issue with the Higgins has finally reached its conclusion, Amara can focus of what lies ahead. More specifically about what she has to do with Henry Cambert."Amara, that reporter is outside." Arman announced. She's at her room planning on what to wear for tonight.Henry Cambert invited her on a date tonight, and she's planning on making everything work on her favor. Bartholomew Carter is becoming of a nuisance than help. He's chasing the fame that came with the intense reports he did because of her. Now that she's no longer givin
Arman and Kyle went to the park to play. It's Sunday, and they both agreed to spend every weekends outdoors. This is Arman's way of helping his best friend to forget all the bad things that happened to him. He wants Kyle to be happy, so he will choose to stay with them.It is a sunny day–perfect to outdoors, but because Arman is too matured to play kid's game, he would just sit on the grass and watch Kyle. Sometimes, he would ask himself why he chose to be friends with a childish kid like him. But, every time he looks at Kyle, he would just smile and realize that there's no one he would rather be friends with."Kyle..." Arman's watching his best friend play at the monkey bar when they heard a familiar voice."What are you doing here?" The young boy couldn't help himself from feeling angry towards the man standing near the monkey bar."I just–I just want to talk to my son." Mr. Monroe said in a sad tone. There are dark circles around his eyes, and he alrea
A few days after Darson left, his family is still uncomfortable with the knowledge that his obsession with Amara Keener hasn't stop. Yes, they adore the fact that she saved a little boy from being abused by his stepmother, but it won't change the fact that she's an escort girl. They see her as the kind of woman who will kiss any man's feet in exchange for money. Something that they despised so much.But just like before, they can't do anything about it because Darson always had his own mind. None of them can convince him, especially when it comes to Amara. They also can't change the fact he already love Amara's adopted child like his own."I don't know how long I could let this go on. Our son is a single, responsible man who can make any woman fall for him. Why is he wasting his time with Amara Keener." Mr. Humphrey said."You know your son. He will never change his mind. He's been in love with Amara Keener since he was in high school. Years has passed, and his
Leaving is something that Darson doesn't want to do ever again, but even him knows that he needs to work. If he wants to help Amara provide a good future for Arman, he needs to be hardworking. Especially now that Kyle is also with them.He felt happy that Arama, Kyle, and Arman accompanied him to the port. Even though his family is obviously not happy about it, they agreed not to say anything. Darson knows that it will not be easy for his family to accept Amara again, but he knows that in time they will see how great of a person she is."You take care of yourself, son. Alright?" His father remained him."We will miss you." Said his mother."Be good, okay?" His sisters added."Thank you, guys. I'll see you soon." Darson said to his family. "Hey, kids. Be good to Amara, alright?""We will miss you." Arman and Kyle replied."Just come back safe, okay?" Amara said with a smile."Of course. I made a promise, remember? Take car
"Kyle! Wake up! Come on, it's breakfast time!""Go away! I'm still sleepy!""Get out of bed or I will drag your ass down the stairs?""Fine! I'll just brush my teeth. You can get out now.""Not happening. Go to your bathroom and brush your teeth, I'll wait for you here."I smiled as I listened to those two boys. They really are like brothers, and my heart breaks for Kyle. He's a nice kid, and he doesn't deserve to be mistreated. Now that his dad and stepmother are both facing possible jail time, he's got nowhere to go. Both his parents are only child, and his grandparents are all dead. We are the only ones who can take care of him.I woke up early to prepare our breakfast, and as expected, Darson arrived a few minutes after I'm done. He brought fruits, a gallon of ice cream, and new toys for Kyle. He even brought a new computer for him. I can already see that he will be a great father when the time comes. It's just sad to think that I might
The very next day, Amara called Kyle's father to let him know that his son ran away and called them for help. He demanded for Amara to bring his son back immediately, and even threatened to sue her for kidnapping. But, Amara, being the brave woman she is who never blinks in the face of threats, refused.She told Mr. Monroe to come to their town, and meet her at the sheriff's station. She already called the child protection office, and their representative is already on his way. When Mr. Monroe sensed that Amara will not budge, he agreed to travel back to town. She also demanded for him to bring his new wife."What's your plan?" Darson asked her. They are already at the sheriff's station with Kyle, and one of the female officers is already getting his statement."I'll make sure that Kyle's b*tch stepmother will rot n jail for what she did to him." She responded. Amara can feel her body trembling in so much anger."I can't imagine how a woman would do somet
