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
CHAPTER 87- She's AwakeAzariah's Point of ViewRAIN has been in the ICU for a few days, that's why mommy still can't calm us down. One day after Apollo, Aliona and Uncle Eliseo were caught, mommy and I went to the hospital to talk to Ali and Uncle Elmer. Auntie Cathy, on the other hand, was given a room by uncle that she could stay in for the time being.It seems that Ali is not resting either because he is really focusing on the case against our relatives who did bad things to Rain. Von is always with him, that's why mommy and I are the only ones in the hospital."Rain, wake up there, hija. We have a lot waiting for you," mommy said so I turned to her. We were both wearing scrubs and facemasks.Honestly, I'm only now seeing this version of mommy. She is kind. Of course, she's nice but I always see her bad side. Maybe because we don't have a chance to show true behavior to each other."Azariah," mom called me."Yes, mommy?" I approached her."Did you know that Rain was a kind child e
CHAPTER 88-What happened?Rain's Point of ViewI slowly opened my eyes. The wall and ceiling that appeared to me were white. My eyes are still blurry and my whole body is weak. I tried to move and turn but something pinched my side. I closed my eyes as I moaned.Even opening my eyes is difficult for me to do. I took a deep breath before opening my eyes again. I wanted to get up but my body, especially on the side, was in pain. I winced because of that."R-Rain, are you awake yet?" it was mom's voice so I followed where the voice came from."M-mom..." I called weakly. I felt it holding my hand."Mommy is here, Rain. Daddy is here too," he said, his voice breaking slightly. I tried to think about what happened but my head hurt too. I held on to it."Rain, my daughter," dad called me. Even his voice was obviously crying.When my eyes finally adjusted to the light, I had a chance to look at my parents. Their faces show that they are very worried about me."W-what happened?" I will ask. I
CHAPTER 89—The Real StoryAzariah's Point of View"HOW did mommy really survive?" I asked Von and Ali as we walked together back to Rain's private room. We bought coffee with our companions inside the hospital.The two looked at each other and Von looked at me then he grabbed my palm and said, "Baby, your mommy didn't really have an accident. It's all just an accident.""Huh?"Von looked at Ali again and his brother smiled then nodded slightly. Von looked at me.I frowned because I didn't understand what he was saying. Mom said something but I was not satisfied.Von cleared his throat before speaking, "What you heard here in the mansion talking about your mommy and the kidnapper is not true.""How could it not be true?""The person your mom was talking to at that time was Kean."My forehead furrowed even more and I was even more surprised by them. "Wait a minute, I don't understand what really happened.""Just like this. Your Uncle Eliseo tried to invite your mommy to be an accomplice
CHAPTER 108—Who's Behind It?Rain's Point of ViewWhile Von and Azariah were grilling and Ali was playing guitar. We both sing and I can truly say that Ali's voice is beautiful. I was embarrassed because my voice wasn't that good, but he tried to make me sing."You have a beautiful voice, Rain. Who said you don't have a good voice?" asked Azariah. It seems that he has been hearing me say that my voice is not good.I didn't answer right away. I honestly don't remember who told me when I was young that my voice was not beautiful. They said it's better if I just dance because my body is a bit soft."I don't remember who Uncle Eliseo told me or who he was talking to at that time. I was still young when they told me that. Then those who heard laughed." I don't want to say these things anymore because it's been a long time. I'm still young."Ah, so it's Uncle. Maybe he didn't want you anymore that's why he said that.""Maybe he's just joking," I said.Azariah stopped turning the squids that
CHAPTER 107—Ali's Way of FightingRain's Point of ViewI was almost surprised when I felt Ali's arm wrap around my waist and I turned to him. There was a tinge of concern on his face as he looked at me. I frowned. "What's the problem?" I will ask."You are the one I asked. What's the problem? Why do you look like that?” Ali even held my cheek and squeezed it a little. "You look like you just got back from crying. Did you cry?" he asked me.I smiled at him, still seeing the white teeth. "Yes, I am really fine. Don't worry about me." I took his hand from his grip on me."Why is that red and it looks like you just got back from crying?""Nothing. Believe me. Azariah and I just talked and my heart was touched by him. That's because my cousin is so smart. I have nothing more to say to him.”Ali nodded slowly. "You're right there. What Aliona and Apollo's attitude was bad, Azariah was kind. And another thing is that I can see how much he loves Von.""They're both sweet too, aren't they?" I
CHAPTER 106—Thankful and GratefulRain's Point of ViewWe were very happy with the sea water while we were on the boat. There was a steward who maneuvered the boat so that we could sail smoothly in the ocean.Ali was next to me as I leaned on him slightly. He holds my hands. It should be so peaceful. Fortunately, the boat we were on had a roof so we were not directly exposed to the sun."Are you okay?" Ali asked me.I didn't answer right away. I've been bothered by things for a while now but I don't want to ask Ali. Do I feel that he will get annoyed with me if I keep asking him questions? All the things that happen to us make me question why it happens.I sighed before trying to smile at him. "I'm fine. Nothing will happen if I'm not going to be okay, right?”Ali squeezed my hand. "That's right. Whatever you're thinking, put your worries away because I won't leave you. You and your family."I looked him in the eyes. "I know that. I also know that you will do everything just to make s
CHAPTER 105—ExcitementRain's Point of View"So, Daddy said we can't leave the rest house for now. It's like we're locked down, right?" I asked as I held Ali's arm. We walk on the beach watching the sunrise.Azariah and Von were with us earlier but they said goodbye to go to the gym so Ali and I continued walking. From a distance we could see the guards watching over us."Yes. That's how it is. Such an idea is boring and annoying, but we need it to ensure that you and your entire family are safe."I leaned my head on Ali's shoulder. "I understand. Thank you, Ali?”"For what?""For taking care of me and my family.""You are always welcome. I will do everything to ensure your safety." I felt him kiss my forehead so I closed my eyes.It feels so good to be cared for and protected by the person I love. I can't ask for anything else because I feel his love for me.“Would you like us to have breakfast? The cook at the rest house must have cooked." Earlier, before we left, I talked to our co
CHAPTER 104—He's Back!Rain's Point of View"Have you talked to Ali again?" I asked while we were in the middle of dinner. To be honest, we all had almost no appetite to eat. The food on the plates doesn't move because they seem to be touching each other."Not yet. Von said the last time we talked earlier that their phones were low on battery. They will go out to buy a charger,” answered Azariah."Do you think, Dad, can they come here to the rest house?" I asked while my attention was on daddy. Even my companions are also looking here.Before dad bowed and he bowed and took a deep breath. He looked at me. "It is possible, Rain, but they themselves said that they will not come here. Because they need to be sure that no one can follow them. Ali and Von just want us to be on the list, especially you and Azariah.” Dad exchanged glances with my cousin and me.I felt Azariah grab me with a free hand that wasn't holding the cutlery."Your daddy is right, Rain," said mom. He gave me a smile t
CHAPTER 103—FearRain's Point of ViewI was so nervous to do what Elise and I had planned. Azarian also helped us and Von knew the plan. Von was our helper to somehow keep Ali away and not notice what we were planning to do. I took a deep breath. I took a shower and put on light makeup. I dried my hair with a hair blower and just put a gold hair clip on it.I was in front of the mirror trying to study the smile. No matter what I do, I smile and the nervous feeling is still on my face. A part of my heart is also afraid that the plans might come to nothing. Maybe Ali is mad at me and won't accept my apology.When I found out about Elise's true personality, I felt very guilty. I feel like I have a very bad girlfriend. The type that I don't trust the most loved one who did nothing but ensure my safety. My heart sank again because I felt sorry for Ali. I even asked myself if it was worth it for Ali to love me even though I hurt him because I was jealous.Elise says that my feelings are val
CHAPTER 102—Elise's PlanRain's Point of ViewAs dad said, we will tie up at the rest house first. Our other relatives didn't know that, even Aunty Merceditas. Azariah just got why I can say that that house is really secret. As far as I can remember, I have only been there twice.That rest house is nice. It's on the side of the beach and it's quiet. There aren't many houses around us so it's like that. Also far from civilization. When we got out of the car, I was so amazed.I rode in dad and mom's car while Von, Azariah and Elise rode in Ali's car. Earlier Dad forced me to ride there but I refused. I really don't want to see or be with Ali. We didn't break up but I think that's the way it is.Am I hurt? Of course. Just last night I cried and cried and fell asleep doing that. When I woke up earlier, my eyes were very swollen. I wanted to laugh because we didn't break up but I cried. It's my fault because I'm stubborn. I don't listen to Ali's reasons but it's not because I can invalida
CHAPTER 101—SpaceRain's Point of ViewBecause my ankle was swollen due to a pinched nerve, I really had to be given first aid. I just cried when the doctor tried to move my leg. Maybe it took pity on me, it just let me rest and calm down. Fortunately, Azariah doesn't let go of me and I cry to him. My leg was bandaged and then I was helped to position myself on top of the bed.Dad got a private room and there was a security guard assigned outside the door. The security is very tight to prevent what happened earlier in our house.Because the doctor gave me medicine, I fell asleep. It's a good thing because somehow I didn't feel the pain in my foot. It is elevated so that it cannot be moved. When I woke up I had a faint voice that was heard in the room where I was. When I opened my eyes, I immediately saw Ali talking to Von and Azariah. Elise was also there and sitting. Ali and Elise are not next to each other but I'm annoyed. I got annoyed.I moved and tried to get up but my leg hurt c
CHAPTER 100—Loud Gunshots Rain's Point of ViewSince I wasn't in the mood earlier after working out, I didn't feel like eating breakfast either. I didn't go with my parents because Ali, Elise, Von and Azariah were with them. Mom just sent food to my room but I didn't touch it. It's just on the table and I have no intention of eating. I only drank the milk and I'm fine with that.I just left my room bored. First, I will air in the garden where it is windy at this time. I brought my phone as well as the book I was reading so I could do something there.I have made up my mind that if Ali ever approaches me to talk to me, I will still not talk to him and ignore him. To be honest, I miss my boyfriend a lot but every time I think about Elise being with him now, I feel like I'm wondering if he still loves me.Maybe I'm being dramatic but that's what I wanted to ask him. Even though Ali says that he hasn't changed and I'm still his priority, I don't see that.When I got to the garden I sat d
