CHAPTER 79— No One To BlameRain's Point of ViewI KNOCKED three times on the door of the library where my daddy had his office. I heard no response from inside but I went in anyway.I caught my father drinking this expensive wine. His glass is half full."Dad," I called him but he didn't look back. I came and stopped at the opposite table. I know that he might not be in a good mood because of what happened but I would like to talk to him more. I don't want him to blame himself because we are not to blame for what happened to his sister.He turned to me later and placed the glass he was holding on the table. Daddy stood up and hugged me without saying a word. Even though I was surprised, I retaliated.For a while, I could feel the tremors of his body. "I-I didn't expect everything to come to this, Rain. Yes, I prayed to God that my sister would repent and face the law, but I didn't pray for her to disappear."I was stunned. Does that mean Auntie Merceditas is really gone?It took a wh
CHAPTER—She Got Stabbed Rain's Point of ViewWEARING A BLACK crop top and jeans, I went down the stairs. Today is the day when we travel to the villa. I caught up with my parents in the living room as well as cousins Azariah and Aliona who were both dressed in black.I noticed Ali talking on his cell phone while standing at the door. When he looked at me, he immediately ended the call and put the cell phone in his own pocket. He greeted me and extended his right hand.I accepted that then we both approached my parents who had my eyes on me. I felt heavy but I just let it go and ignored it. Perhaps it was because of the knowledge that a relative of ours had died."I didn't know that we would return to Villa Aitana with another wake to go to," mommy said sadly with sadness in her eyes. "This should be the last."I didn't move and I just looked at Azariah who was just looking at me. Sitting next to her on the sofa is her boyfriend Von who will also be with us. She smiled at me."Are the
CHAPTER 81— 50/50Azariah's Point of ViewI CRIED A LOT as we headed to the nearest hospital to take the unconscious Rain. I can't believe that my two eyes saw the incident."Babe, calm down first," Von said, then took me by the hand.I shook my head. "How can I calm down, Von, if I saw that woman pull the knife out of my cousin's body?" I said, trembling. "I don't understand. I don't understand, Von! My mommy is dead but why did that happen to Rain?" My eyes are wet with my own tears. The crying did not stop.Von didn't move. He just let me cry first. He didn't answer my questions either."I don't know what's going on. It's a mess." I pulled out the long hair."Babe, calm down. Things happen for a reason. Now, I want you to calm down first because I'm worried. I can't focus on my driving," said Von to me.I seem to have come to my senses. Although I remained silent in the question, my eyes still did not stop tearing. I feel sorry for Rain. I'm afraid it might be.Rain's look from ear
CHAPTER 82— The Real MastermindAZARIAH'S Point of ViewWE FIND a hotel for Aliona and Von to stay at which is close to the hospital where we took Rain. I don't cry anymore because I feel like I have no more tears to cry. I also feel that my body and mind are very tiredA while ago I was sitting on the edge of the bed while I was just dumbfounded. My mind is flying because of the speed of events.Aliona was on the other side of the bed and was on her cell phone. We both turned to the door when someone knocked on it. It's time to stand up to see who's outside.Von peeked into our room then held up two plastic bags containing only food. "Dinner."Aliona opened the door wide enough for the young man to enter. He went straight to the table where it was then took out the food from the plastic. Von glanced at me as he did so. The concern on the face has not disappeared. When he finished what he was doing, he came in front of me and knelt down. He held my hands.Von looked at me. "Babe, are
CHAPTER 83—TwinsAzariah's Point of ViewMY CHEST is tight as I try to calm myself down. I noticed Von approached us but I didn't pay any more attention to him. I prefer to imprint and put in my mind what I heard from Aliona.I have a hard time believing that. Aliona doesn't look like she can do something like that. I know it, it's nice and I can really count on it but it seems I misidentified it.I turned to my boyfriend Von who handed me bottled mineral water. His face shows a lot of concern for me. I took the drink and sipped it. Somehow the weight I feel is lightened.I let out a sigh. I closed my eyes and felt my own senses. "Does Uncle Elmer know this yet?" I asked.I don't know if I should pray that they don't know or that they do. I'm confused. I want to feel sorry for my cousin but she has to face the sin she committed."Sir Elmer has known something for a long time, but they chose to keep quiet because they want to make sure everything," said Ali, who was standing opposite t
CHAPTER 84—TraumatizedAzariah's Point of ViewTEARS welled up in my eyes when I saw my unconscious cousin Rain outside the window of the Intensive Care Unit. I heard that Aliona sniffed next to me.My eyebrows raised slightly but when I felt Von's hand on my waist, I calmed myself down. I counted one to ten more before taking a deep breath and turning around. I followed Aliona who was wiping her tears.I want to laugh because she's plastic and looks human. If I didn't know, I might have approached and sympathized with her crying but I am really irritated by her now. She has a bad attitude.I don't know where she gets the thickness of her face and she is even able to face us, especially Rain's parents."Babe, just calm down, okay?" Von reminded me so I nodded immediately."I know. She's just irritating me, because her face is thick," I said softly."Azariah, join me in the bathroom."I was even more surprised to hear Aliona say that. I looked at Von as if I was telling him with a look
CHAPTER 85—Will Never Forgive HerAzariah's Point of ViewI DON'T know why but Aliona seems restless in the backseat. Von and I looked at each other and through that we were able to talk. Von got what I wanted to say and that's why he turned to Aliona with his fingers constantly tapping on her cell phone. It seems like it's waiting for a call or text. I'm not sure."Are you all right, Aliona?" I asked her.She looked at me first then tried to smile. "Of course!""Do you want to take a shower first? It's like you want to do CR without knowing."She made me smile even more. "What are you? I'm fine. Don't mind me,"I just nodded. As I turned to face the road, one of my eyebrows automatically rose. I'm annoyed with myself because I still have to do plastic surgery here. I don't feel any regret for what we did together because it was unforgivable.Now I realize that it is a big sin that I abandoned my mommy. Yes, their plan was bad, but why did my mommy seem to be left in the air?I turned
CHAPTER 86—Got ArrestedAzariah's Point of ViewWE TOOK Aliona to the nearest precinct. Ali had already talked to the police there, so Aliona was immediately put in the cell. They also handed over to the police Aliona's belongings that they could use as evidence.I took a deep breath as we walked to the parking lot of the police station. Von took me by the hand and looked up at my face slightly. She caressed my neck which was slightly red due to the tightness of Aliona's stranglehold."You alright?" she asked. "I want to take you to the hospital to look at your body. You have a lot of scratches." Her face was serious while staring into my eyes.I forced myself to smile. "I'm okay. I'll just put cream on the scratches later. I just want to go home to the villa to see Mommy." I opened the door but also stopped when I remembered something. "How about Ali? Where is he now?" I asked."He was with Kean and Migs. Gianna was also with him who went there to your villa. They go there first," he
