Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 127 - Call it Quits
ALBERT was standing on a floor-to-window ceiling on the second floor of the manor. He smiled eerily while looking at the photos sent to him with the caption, “Mr. Ripley it’s done.” The photos are images of Lucian’s car that was thrown on a cliff while Lucian is lying on the side of the road bloodied. The assailants made the attack look like he had gotten into an accident. “That’s what you get for messing up with the Ripley’s,” he muttered under his breath. All of a sudden, he heard his daughter’s voice almost startling him. “Daddy?” Latton called to him gently. He turns to her with a gleeful smile. Happy that they were not shouting at each other, but what he heard next left him shocked. “I just stopped by to say I’m sorry.” She muttered in a low tone. He gasped and was taken aback momentarily. “Say what now?” He asked eagerly. "I said, I’m sorry for screaming. You know when I hear Alison’s name, it makes my blood boil. Her name triggers me and brings me back to high school, a p

Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 128 - Playing Cupid
MALENA was comfortably sitting in a chair enjoying the food prepared for her by the person who saved her from the plane. "I never thought it would work, and I would fit inside the luggage," she remarked while cutting her steak. "I guess that's what the Police officers also thought." She added as she smiled eerily. "Do you know why I saved you?" The man asks. She shook her head. The man smiled and then said, "You'll know later." - Meanwhile, in the Ripley manor. Derek watched as Albert and Thalia left the manor to drive to their separate companies. He hastily marched to Latton’s room to bond with her but made a short detour as he saw Thalia's door was ajar. He thought of something, and it made him smile. After a few minutes, he walked to Latton's room. Without knocking, he opened Latton's door only to see her sitting on her bed drawing on her sketch pad. He sneered, then yelled in annoyance, “You can move your right hand!” Startled, Latton almost messed up her sketch of the
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 129 - The Meds are Working
JOHN visited Lucian in the hospital and was greeted by Alicia. John could tell that she hadn't slept in a while. There were dark circles in her eyes, her cheeks were sunken, her lips were dry, and her face was pale. He lowered his head and smiled faintly at her. Shortly, he marched towards Lucian's bed and his eyes instantly widened in horror to see how bad the accident was. And, just by looking at it, he knew far too well that this was not an accident. “How are you?” He asked while glancing at the room, making sure Alicia wouldn’t hear their conversation. Luckily, after a few minutes, Alicia bids them goodbye as she needs to go to the nurses' station. When John was sure no one could hear them. He then asks Lucian frankly, “Seriously, this doesn't look like an accident." Lucian coughed, then replied in a low dry voice, “It isn’t.” John gasped. “What happened? Do you know who did this?” Lucian smiles bitterly, “Latton Ripley,” he mumbles gently. “Why do you think it's her? I kno
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 130 - The Gift
AFTER Latton runs away from Thalia, she hastily locks herself in her room, and as soon as she closes the door, her knees weaken. She leans on the door, slowly slouches into a sitting position, hugs her knees, and starts sobbing. "I believe in her again, and she never changes." She mutters to herself. Shortly after, she heard Thalia knocking on the door. With every knock, she sobbed louder. Amidst her tears, a foul smell entered her nostrils and it piqued her attention. She soon ignores Thalia’s frantic voice and knocks. She starts looking for the source of the smell. She sniffed the air and noticed the smell coming from her bed. She saw the box and remembered that Sarah mentioned a package she had left at her bedside. She slowly walks to the package and opens it while fighting the urge to vomit. “What is in this package they should have put a sticker that says it needs to be refrigerated,” she mumbles to herself. She heaves deeply and then opens the package. As soon as she opens it
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 131 - The Invitation
AT THE hospital, Alex enters Lucian's ward. "Alex, any news from the police about Malena's whereabouts?" Lucian asked. Alex shook his head, "None at all. Based on the police report, they checked the plane from tail to cockpit. There is no sign of her." Lucian coughed and it pained him. "Can you make sure my name is not dragged into this?" He requested. "I don't want Latton to think that I helped Malena escape." He thought to himself. Alex nods, "I'll see what I can do." - Meanwhile, at Ripley International, Alison’s face contorted while listening to the manager's report. She kept glancing at the CEO's chair, but it was empty. "He ghosted me last night, now this? He did not give me a heads-up that he would stay home. How dare he do this to me?" She yelled internally. After the meeting, she drove directly to Ripley Manor. At that time, both Thalia, Albert, and Latton are still asleep. Jonathan, one of the servants, then asks Derek if they will let Alison enter the manor. He inst
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 132 - Spiral Down
LATTON walks out of the interrogation room, her face flustered. She marched to Derek who was sitting on the bench, head lowered, hands covering his face. When he saw Latton’s shoes in front of him, he lifted his gaze. Done with the… Before he could finish his sentence, Latton slapped him hard. “Why?” He asks while holding his throbbing cheeks. “Why didn’t you tell me that the trial had ended? I look stupid still waiting for the trial when it's already concluded.” She yelled in anger. Her loud voice started to gather people's attention and it bothered Derek. He held her left arm and whispered in her ear, “I’ll tell you everything in the car. Let’s go,” he stated. In the parking lot, both of them hurriedly entered the car. Latton couldn’t stop breathing rapidly. “What’s happening to you?” Derek asks worriedly. “I’m scared. I’m terrified, and I can't think clearly, Derek.” She says as she shivers in fear. “Your meds might be wearing off.” He explains while holding her hand. He cou
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 133 - Vivian's Task
INSIDE the LAPD, Officer H. Gilberts and J. Peralta are inside the briefing room logging all the information they have on hand. "This is the weirdest case I've ever handled in my life. We have two ladies, the victim and the assailant. Now both of them are victims." Officer J. Peralta mumbles as he arranges the crime photos on the board. "One billionaire heiress that was targeted multiple times and a commoner whose hand got chopped off, we don't know if she's still alive, or is it safe to call it a homicide." "Let's summarize everything we know," Officer H. Gilberts said. "Let's start at the Royal Ascent incident." He added while holding the report. "March 10, Royal Ascent. It is where Miss Taylor attacked Miss Ripley but told everyone that it was the latter who attacked first. Miss Ripley then filed a lawsuit where Miss Taylor was detained by the LAPD but soon got released when the lawsuit was withdrawn. The next incident was on March 31, at the Circle of Hope. When Miss Taylor shot
