Ray's P. O. V I woke up the next day feeling groggy. Lying on the bed, I stayed awake for hours, still thinking about the picture I saw in my dad's study and why he doesn't want to talk about it. I eventually slept in the early hours of the morning, only to be woken up by my alarm.Stretching out, I proceeded to the bathroom and did my morning duties. Once I was done, I got out and cleaned myself out, wearing my clothes and other accessories. Putting on my wristwatch, I walked out of the room down to the kitchen
I stopped at the kitchen to take a bottle of water from the fridge. Unscrewing the cap, I drank from it, my gaze wandering. That's when something caught my eye in the trash can. It was the picture, but this time it was in the trash bin. Who put it there? Looking around me and seeing no one nearby, I picked it up and removed the picture from the frame, then dispos

Ray's P. O. V Dad asked me to come to work today to begin to learn various things about business management. So far so good. It's been good and right now am in a shareholders meeting getting to know the people who have shares in my dad's company and being familiar with them. The meeting soon ended and after our good days, they left the board room leaving me and Dad alone in it." So what do we get to do after this?" I asked him as I picked up the files. He glanced at me." You can go around, check other workers and see how they do their things," he replied." Okay.. thanks, dad," I said and left the boardroom. Dropping the files on the table in my office, I walked out and locked the door behind me. A few young ladies in the offices ogled at me as I made my way past them but I was less concerned about that. I walked around the office for a while, looking at people and things. And later, after a bit of impulse, went i

Ray's P. O. V After a long day at work, I finally got home tired snd exhausted. I went up straight to my room and take a warm long shower before changing into fresh clothes and going down for dinner. My parents were already there eating and having little discussions. I got in and, after serving my food, ate quietly. They soon turned to me. Mom was the first to speak up. "Ray... How was work today?" She asked. " Fine... Although it was a bit stressful" I answered. She gently squeezed my hand, smiling softly. " Don't worry, you'll get used to it." She said. I shrugged, picking my food. " I hope so...." I muttered. "Dad..." I called out after a while. " Yes?" " Is it true you weren't the original owner of the company?" I asked. He froze, looking at me quizzically. " And where did you get that from?" He muttered, his voice gruff. Mom was staring

Ray's P. O. V The next day went on in a blur with me still thinking about last night's incident. My dad had apologized early this morning for the incident that happened last night and I told him I had forgiven him. He's been trying to talk to me since then, but I was too occupied to listen." Ray... Ray!" I heard a voice call me, jolting me out of my reverie. I looked up at where the voice was coming from and it was my dad. He was staring at me quizzically. I pursed my lips, looking away. We were soon done with the staffs meeting and they all left, leaving me and Dad alone in the room. " And if I may ask... What is this thing that is making you too preoccupied?...." He said, placing his face on his chin. " I hope it's not about that picture. I already explained who they were to you." My dad continued. " No, it's not, it's not about that," I replied. "It

It's been really terrible and Ihave beenunable to go out at all to even work, locking myself up in the room the entire time. Things have gone up a notch now because the nightmaregetsaccompaniedbysomeone trying to kill me as well. If that isn't scary enough, I don't know what is. MadamDeborah gently knocked on the door of my room before walking in. I was staring out the window as usual, my face laden with teary marks.

Ray's P. O. V I stormed into the house furious than ever and burst into my dad's study, where he was busy with some files, and slammed my fists on his table. He looked stunned to see me in that mood. " Ray... What are you doing here? And why are you like this?" He asked, but I ignored all of that." Do you have anything to do with the death of the Morgans?" I asked instead. " And why would you ask such? What has gotten into you?"" Don't try to distract me, dad. You know perfectly well what I'm talking about! The Morgans... Are you behind their disappearance?"My dad shot up in annoyance, staring down at me." I will not have you walk up to me and accuse me of such! You know where they are buried. Why don't you ask them?"" I can't believe I have a liar as a dad. Why won't you just say the truth so we can end it all at once!?" " Somebody is already giving you win

Chapter 15 On our way home, the rain began falling. It was quite heavy and the roads soon turned to waterways, making it very slippery and stuff, so we had to drive very slowly. But it wasn't long before we met with a traffic jam, which used to be very common once the rains started pouring. But this one was different because it wasn't moving at all. I glanced at Vera and she just kept staring out the window. I sighed and focused ahead. Soon an ambulance passed by us and I got confused. What was happening? " There's been an accident," Vera announced. " What?""Over there... Some crowds forming. Must be fatal." She added, looking out. I did as well and sure enough, she was right. There was an accident and it was pretty gruesome. It's going to be almost impossible for anyone to survive this crash. And my guess was right. I don't think the man did because his body was already being placed i

(A few moments before:) Ray's P. O. V I woke up with a start. My eyes scanned the room and bed, and I noticed Vera wasn't in it. Still half asleep, I plopped out from the bed to check if she was in the bathroom. Not there. I yawned, stretching and rubbing my neck as well. I needed to find her... Need to know if she is safe. I walked out of the room into the hallway, glancing around for her. Eventually, I found her and she was at the hotel's balcony, staring out into the gloomy sky. With her hands wrapped around herself and the night's hair gently blowing her hair, she looked completely beautiful. I froze a bit and just stayed there, staring at her. Until I saw a red light flashing around. I revved back to life. That's strange, I wondered. What would a tiny red light be coming from? I didn't see any source. Vera was still completely oblivious to the things that were going on around her. Acting out o

Vera's P. O. V (Two weeks later) I worked mindlessly for a while, my thoughts going in no particular direction. Ever since my verbal beat down two weeks ago, Ray never came back. I wouldn't say I missed him, but he was the only one who persisted while others left, and that left its mark. I hardly ever went out and madam Deborah had to do all the shopping for fear that someone would creep up behind me and finally put that bullet in my head. I just wished I'd stop living my life in this constant fear. Ava Morgan. That was the name the old man in the company we visited had called me. Was that my real name? I would I know, I can't remember anything. But I couldn't stop thinking about it. What happened to her? Why did I look like her? I dried the last of my plates and rinsed my hands, cleaning it with a towel before leaving for the living room upstairs where an old computer was kept. A little rese

Ray.I stared at the figure before me, too shocked to speak. Surely, my mind must be playing tricks on me, because this looks too real to be true. Isn't Vera dead? The figure stared at me, moving closer. I resisted the urge to take a step back. She pulled her hoodie off, taking in a deep breath." Didn't think we'd meet this way..." She muttered rather dryly, her lips twitching. I took a step forward." Is this really you?" I asked, disbelief still evident in my voice. She nodded. " Am I really speaking to you?" I asked again. She nodded again. I scoffed, still not being able to wrap my head around it." You're not dead?" " No."" How can it be!? How's it possible? I thought you were dead!" I muttered." Well, I'm not." " If you're not dead, why didn't you show yourself years ago!!" I yelled, unable to keep still anymore." Now's not the time to explain. I came for another reason." She replied, her voice still painfully calm. I took in

Vera." Are you really going to kill him?" I asked Jeff moments later Commander Snake had left the room." If Commander Snake says we should do it, then we do it." He replies, not looking at me. The ache in my heart gets worse." What if..." I began, stopping myself. Taking a deep breath, I started again. " What if he didn't rat out on us? Won't we be taking an inncoents life?" Jeff looked at me then. " An inncoents life? He saw Ava. Didn't you see that? Why won't he rat out on us?!" I pursed my lips, looking at everywhere but him. Jeff walked closer, stopping inches in front of me. " By the way Ava, why did you freeze up the way you did? You know him somewhere?" He asked and flinched a bit, placing my hands on my throat. It was at the tip of my tongue to lie, but I knew I would never get away with it if I did." Yes... I do." I whispered." More the reason he should be dead." Jeff replied without a moments hesitation. Then turned, walking away.

(Few days later)Vera.Standing beside Commander Snake, I tried to pay attention to what he was saying as I kept getting distracted. There was a new mission on ground and just like the others, it was all high profile. Unlike the others where would meet the victim in his home or hotel, this one was going to take place in a party so we need to be extra careful Commander Snake gave a list of instructions and things we should watch out for and once he was done, dismissed us. From the corner of my eyes, I watched as Jeff and Kira walk away, chuckling at something one of them said. Lately, Jeff's been hanging out with Kira. Not that I'm jealous but it has gotten to a point where I'm beginning to think they're doing it on purpose because Jeff ignores me whenever I try to talk to him. Normally, I would leave him alone but today I couldn't, I really need to talk to him.Walking up towards them and tapped Jeff lightly on the shoulder. He stopped but didn't turn, only swiveled h

Vera. " What are you doing?!" I asked, my heart pounding. staggering away from him, I tried it steady my nerves. He had a shocked look on at first but quickly sobered up. " What does it look like I'm doing? Kissing you." He leaned in again but this time I pushed him away, standing on my feet. " I don't why you keep forcing this Jeff. I told you I'm not ready." The shock on his face melted to reveal a hidden anger. " It's been 5 years!" He shot back. " I'm sorry, I just can't do it. I can't." I replied, avoiding his gaze. I didn't realize how close he was until I looked up. " Are you seeing someone else?" He asked calmly, but I couldn't help but shudder at the tone of his voice. "N-no of course not!" I replied, shaking my head. He held me still and tried to kiss me again. I struggled this time around, eage

Vera.Waking up a few moments later, my eyes travelled to the window next to me. It was still dark. Very slowly a smile begins to stretch my lips. I'll be seeing my daughter again. I jumped out of the bed, hurrying towards the bathroom. I need to get ready! I hurried through my morning routine, coming out of the bathroom moments later. I immediately picked out an outfit that would hide me. Brushing out my hair and applying a bit of make-up, I was ready. I picked up my bag and car keys, stepping out of my room.Although it was still dawn, Jeff was already out working on his laptop. I greeted him, about to leave when he called me back." We should go out after this." He said, sparing me a glance. I stopped, turning." What?" I asked. He looked up at me." When you come back from your daughter. We should go out." " Oh... Okay. Sure." I nodded and stepped out. Walking towards the garage, I sought out my car and stepped in, turning it on and driving o

5 years later.Ray walked into ma'am Deborah restaurant, glancing around so he could look for her. Ma'am Deborah was the first to see him however. " Raymond!" She called out, walking towards him. Ray stopped,a small grin breaking out. Once ma'am Deborah was in front of him, she pulled him into a hug. Ray stiffened at first but soon relaxed, tightening his hands around her. Eventually she pulled away." It's been so long! Where have you been!?" She asked, holding his hands. He chuckled, then settled into a soft sigh." Away. Anywhere that was far away from here." He replied sincerely. Ma'am Deborah took a proper look at him. Although he still looked the same, he was no longer the young, charming Ray she first met. She had to blame time and grief for ageing him so quickly. A few inches taller, a deep set eyes that sparkled less, and a very evident stubble. She could detect some faint frown lines and her heart broke a little inside. She shook it aside and smiled wa

" I found this child in my doorstep when I woke up last night. What am I supposed to do with it?" Ma'am Deborah asked the police officer, who was busy scribbling something into his note. " Did you now...." He muttered, uninterested. Glancing at her, he folded his hands, pressing his lips together. "Well... I don't know ma'am. You're going to have to take it to the hospital." He announced. " I already did that. I had the baby tested and they say she's in perfect health condition. What I don't understand is why anyone would want to live a child on my doorstep." The police then shifted his gaze towards the baby, who was already twitching in ma'am Deborah arms. A cursory look and he sighed. " She's still really young. How old?" " Probably a few weeks." Ma'am Deborah replied, rocking her. " According to the doctor." " Well, you can take care of

Vera. I finally went back to the pack. And as expected, they were excited to see me. Or should I say... Jeff was happy to see me. Commander Snake still had that indifferent look on although I caught a hint of approval. Kira looked like she was going to explode, her eyes blazing and ears red. I paid no attention to her. " Vera!" Jeff said as he rushed to hug me. I stiffened, unfamiliar with the warmth. " For a second there, I thought you wouldn't return." He muttered against my ears. " Hey... " I began as we disengaged. " I said I'll be back, and here I am. Although I'll have to admit, I didn't want to be back." He nodded, his lips still curled up. I grimaced, looking around. The base looked different now... Sophisticated. You wouldn't even know this place is a home for highly trained robbers. " Wow... This place looks amazing. How did you get all the money to afford all of this?" I ask offh

( A few months later) Chapter 9 Biting my lips so as to suppress a groan, I leaned heavily on the broomstick, breathing heavily. My stomach is so huge now and the added weight really isn't helping matters. Not to mention how uncomfortable have been feeling. When I finally managed to afford an hospitals visit, I was told I would be due in a few days. I've been dreading and expecting the day. I continued working even as the discomfort tripled. My boss saw me and probably out of pity, told me to take a break. I muttered my thanks and went to look for a quiet place to seat and rest my head. I was already drifting off when my phone buzzed, waking me up. I picked it up to check who the caller was. No other than Jeff. Breathing out, I picked it up. " Hey...." I muttered, my voice sounding scratchy. I ran a hand through my
