Patricia’s POV
Until now, Phoenix does not know that I aborted our baby. I also don’t know how he will react upon learning that I killed our baby.
Maybe, he will be angry at me and hate me. Whatever happens, I will never leave him alone anymore.

Patrick’s POV
I am sitting on the chair in the condo unit of Sage. Right now, he is sitting on the sofa. “Did you track the non-registered number that Rafael texted?” He asked me after I told him everything happened when Mrs. Keehl and I went to the house of Rafael Lawliet.
“Well, I tried to do it, but I coul
Patrick’s POV The bullet hit the small cabinet instead of Sage when he quickly kicked the gun away from his brother. Because of what he did, the gun landed away from Mantus. Mantus also collapsed after he kicked him on his left cheek. After that, he managed to inject the syringe containing red fluid on his neck. Mantus calmed down due to what happened, and he became unconscious. That was close! Blood would be shedding in this condo unit if Sage did not kick the gun his brother was holding. A few minutes later, Sage sat on the sofa. Then, he looked at his unconscious younger brother lying on the floor, &ldq
Sebastian’s POV I am in the house of Melody. I am sitting on the chair in the living room while waiting for her to come here. A few minutes later, she arrived while carrying two small wine glasses and a beer. “You know what, you are incredibly lucky because my parents are in the United States of America. If they are here, I will not drink beer with you,” she said and put the things she was carrying on the small table. Then, she sat on the sofa, “So, why do you want us to drink beer?” She asked, which made me smile. So, I messed up her hair. I will not tell her why I ask her to drink beer with me. The important to me now is I am with her tonight. &n
Patrick’s POV I am sitting on my chair in front of the table in the precinct. At this moment, I am watching videos on the newsfeed of my YouTube account using my cellphone. A few minutes later, I was shocked when I saw a news article about the death of a woman. Because of the curiosity I felt, I watched it. “Woman was found dead in a creek at Barangay Sakura in Quezon City. She had 34 stab-wounds, and authorities on Sunday, January 19, released her identity. She is Pearl Ingram, 21 years old. Until now, they are investigating what happened to her.” The reporter said. I was shocked when I saw the pict
Melody’s POV I opened my eyes. I am lying on the bed in my room. A few minutes later, my head hurt. I feel blood will come out from my head due to the pain I am experiencing. Because of what happened, I regretted I drank beer with Sebastian last night. I promise I will not drink beer any longer because every time I have a hangover, my head always hurts every time I wake up in the morning. I suddenly remembered what I had done the last two days because my head hurt. Flashback
Phoenix’s POV After our class in a subject earlier, all my classmates left the classroom to buy food in the cafeteria, because break time had arrived, except Patricia, “Phoenix, let’s eat together,” she said while I was organizing my things. “Go to the cafeteria, I just have to talk to someone,” I said to her. After organizing my things, I left the classroom and tried to find where Melody was. She must know I now remember everything. So, we can plan how we eradicate Sage in my life. I stopped walking when I heard someone call me, “Phoenix,” Sage seriously said. He is the thorn in my throat. &nb
Nate’s POV When I opened my eyes, I realized I was sitting on a chair. My feet and hands were tied-up to it. I honestly do not remember a single detail about my life. All I know is I am dead already. So, I tried to find where I was. I am in the middle of the darkness. So, I tried to free myself from being tied to the chair, but I stopped when a few minutes later, a man appeared in front of me, “W-Who a-are y-you?” I asked him while stuttering. So, he looked at me, and he started to speak. “I am Nathan Montefalco,” he introduced himself to me, “Your former classmate,” he said, so I became happy.
Phoenix’s POV “My older brother destroyed my life,” I started to talk to Patricia, “He falsely claimed to dad and mom I was smoking. Dad died due to a heart attack when he did that horrible thing.” I said, so my tears started to fall again. Patricia and I are sitting on the bed in my room. “Is that the reason why you are acting coldly around your mother?” She asked me. So, I nodded in response to her question. A few seconds later, I held her hand, and I started to speak. “Mom blamed me for what happened to dad,” I said to her. Then, I wiped out my tears. After that, I told her every horrible thing my brother did to me. “Promise me you will not tell anyone I killed my older brother, including Sage!” When she heard what I said, she pull
Phoenix’s POV I received a text message from Melody when I turned on my phone. According to her, she has a surprise for me. She also told me to go to an abandoned building near the school. I am not going to lie; I am worried right now. If something terrible happens to Patricia because of Melody, I will kill her. I put my phone in my pocket and went to the abandoned building. I became more worried about the safety of Patricia when I saw her car parked near the school entrance. I would be honest; I was hopeful she was alright, but I was wrong. Tsk! Patrick’s POV
Phoenix’s POVI did not shoot Mantus using Sebastian’s gun when SPO2 Patrick Smith repeatedly shot me on my body. “Stop it!” He screamed. I was not able to stand up because of what he did. After what happened, his tears started to fall, and he kneeled.“You! Who do you think you are shooting!?” I angrily asked him. Then, I coughed blood, and I let go of Sebastian’s gun. After that, I looked at the people around me. “Why do you all not understand?! I am a victim of my brother!” I angrily added. A few seconds later, Mantus took the gun of SPO2 Patrick Smith, and he pointed it at me.“Arrest him now.” He coldly said to the other police officers. So, they came to me. Then, they handcuffed me. After that, I lost my consciousness.They brought me to the hospital to treat my wounds because SPO2 Patrick Smith shot me many times. Also, I found out I would not be able to w
Phoenix’s POV I smirked when Mantus texted me the address where he wanted me to meet him. So, I forwarded it to Sebastian. Then, I drove my car there. I will be honest; I feel the end is near! I arrived in an abandoned warehouse where he wanted me to meet him. I parked my car then I entered there. I saw Mantus sitting on the floor while solving the Rubik’s cube. “Why do you want me to go here?” I asked him. Instead of answering my question, he continued solving the cube. A few seconds later, he solved the Rubik’s cube. So, he stretched his arms. Then, he looked at me. After that, he stood up. “We meet again Phoenix—” he did not man
Phoenix’s POV When I opened my eyes, I realized I was in the hospital room. Many things were injected into me while lying on the bed. A few minutes later, SPO2 Patrick Smith entered the room. “You are now awake,” he said to me. “You have been comatose for three days.” He added. So, I closed my hand. “Is mom alright?” I asked him. Instead of answering my question, he took a deep breath. “Answer my question.” I coldly said. So, he seriously looked at me. “She is dead.” He answered me. So, I closed my eyes again. I will be honest; I am happy mom is dead because she is worthless. She loved my older brother more than me. “I am sorry for what happened—” he did no
Phoenix’s POV After what happened, I threw the sandwich Mantus gave me into the trashcan. Then, I put in my bag the research paper written by Sebastian and me. A few minutes later, Sebastian arrived. “Did you do what I said?” I asked him. So, he smirked. “Yeah,” he answered me. So, he took the watch of Mantus in his pocket. Then, he gave it to me. “I already did what you want.” He said, so I sarcastically laughed. I ordered him while we were eating in the cafeteria to take the watch of Mantus in his locker and change it with a fake one while we were competing in swimming. However, I told him the wristwatch should be identical to his, so he would not reco
Phoenix’s POV I slept late last night after I proofread the research paper of Sebastian and me. I sat on the chair beside the window while my classmates were noisy. A few minutes later, Teacher Lelouch arrived with a man. I feel his age and mine are the same. Right now, the man is wearing a watch on his right arm, and he is holding a Rubik’s cube. My classmates became quiet when they went in front of us. “Class, I want you to meet your new classmate. He is Mr. Samuel Cumberbatch.” Teacher Lelouch said. So, I looked at them. “May we know more details about you?” He asked Samuel. So, Samuel bowed in front of us. “I am pleased to meet you all.” He sai
Lelouch’s POV It is 8:00 p.m.; I am sitting on the sofa in my house. I am only wearing shorts right now. I will not lie; I miss Yvonne because we have not talked since we broke up. A few minutes later, I heard the doorbell of my house ring. So, I opened the door. I became happy when I saw Yvonne outside of my house. She is the woman I love. “Yvonne!” I happily said to her. “Why are you here?” I asked. When I saw she was sad, I started to talk again. “Is there something wrong
Patrick’s POV Mantus and I were about to enter the house, but we stopped when we saw its gate was locked. “The gate is locked,” I said to him. So, he irritably looked at me. “Do something! Why are you always telling me what happens?!” He angrily said to me. So, I looked at our surroundings to find who could help us. A few seconds later, I saw an elderly walking. So, I talked to the elder, “Hello, ma’am. Do you know who is living in that house?” I asked her. Then, I pointed at the house in front of us. “No one is living there. The house has been abandoned for a long time—” she did not manage to continue to speak when Mantus started to talk to her.  
Patrick’s POV After I told Mantus everything that happened in Nate’s case, including how Rafael Lawliet went missing, I gave him a piece of paper. His brother told me to give it to him before he died. “What is it?” He asked me while holding it. “Sage gave that to me before he died,” I answered him. “He also told me to give that to you if he fails to investigate Nate’s case,” I added. So, Mantus looked at the paper. He saw the things written there. He also told me to sit beside him to see them in the paper. So, I did what he wanted. The things written in the paper are numbers one to nine. Lines and dots triangulated every number. “I think your brother was pran
Aira’s POV I am sitting on the sofa in my condo unit. It is already midnight, but I am still not sleepy. I am thinking about what happened when I learned Sage was dead until Mantus tried to kill me. A few minutes later, I heard my phone ring, which meant someone was calling me. So, I answered the phone call. “Hello.” I said to the person. “Hello, Ms. Freud!” The American in the other line nervously told. “Mr. Mantus Taylor escaped again.” She said to me. So, I took a deep breath. “Do not worry, I will do my best to find him.” I said to her. After that, I ended the phone call. Then I smirked.&nb
