When I realized they were gone, I took one last look at them before slowly walking out and closing the door behind me, away from Tina and Sheena.I took a deep breath and walked away, despite the fact that the doctors and nurses were running down the corridor.They appear to have arrived already.I kept walking until I came to the office of one of the doctors here, at which point I went inside.I firmly closed my eyes before turning to face the doctor, but fuck!I almost fell because I could see who was in front of me."You're a jerk, Leonardo!" I yelled at him."Do you think it's okay for me to be a doctor?" He asked me with a smile, and I just rolled my eyes at him."No! Why are you dressed like that? " I was irritated, so I asked him, and instead of answering, he threw a nurse's uniRelated chapters

APHRODITE"Pardon me, doc?"We paused.I smiled quietly as we faced them.Leonardo re-adjusted his glasses before smiling.I'm still looking around, hoping to spot Gaze! Gad!I haven't seen him since a few days ago."Does Sheena have a patient here?" Mrs. Carlos pretended to inquire politely about Leonardo.That will make them very happy.Tsk, guess who the saints are."Sheena? I've heard she's dead before. Is she the one I saw on TV?" Leonardo smiled back and asked them.Damn!I want Leon to be impressed by his acting abilities!Carlos had no idea who he was! Hihi!"Oh my, maybe not her, but someone told us there was a patient here named Sheena," Mrs. Carlos laughed.We were interested in what they said because we wanted to know who said them."Who exactly is she, ma'am?" I asked her, despite the fact that my hands were itching to tweak with them.Oh, no!"Um, Mr. and Mrs. Carlos, Ms. Shannon..."A nur

TINA How long have we been here? Aphrodite has yet to appear. Could it be that something has happened to her? Oh, my goodness! Please don't! I don't even want them to be involved with this tire. The Ezraels were so helpful, even though they knew it was risky to help us. So please don't ever leave them. "T-Tina, is this all for all of us? Is this where our story will end? " Sheena wanted to know, her voice trembling. I closed my eyes and shook my head. I'm not sure. I'm not sure how far we've gotten. "T-Tina, I'm sick of running away, sick of everything; I don't want this any longer. I just want to be free and happy, but how did it become this for my selfishness? If not, maybe I ran away that night, maybe... maybe... " She cried for a long time, so I cried as well while hugging her. "Maybe Mother Esme is still alive, and she wasn't taken from us. I hope sh

HARRYOh, crap!No way, it's not her.My sister has been gone for a long time!It's impossible to believe she's my sister.Fuck!I was hit by the steering wheel and had to rush back to the Imperial Estate.Harry Standord, also known as Harry Ceasar Imperial, is my real name, and I'm an agent on a mission to find out who murdered my sister.I still had to hide my identity in order to find the person who killed my younger sister and took her away.I still had to stay away from my family and the woman I love in order to complete my mission, but no matter what I do, I can't find the person responsible for my sister's death; there has been no lead in the case for 18 years.I was at a loss for what to do next.As in the case of my sister, or in the case of Sheena Carlos.What if she's my sister?What if she is the princess we've been searching for?I'm not sure what I can do because of Sheena Carlos.For many years, Carlos tortured her.I'll never forgive them if I find out that Sheena and

APHRODITE"What is Giovanni up to, Leonardo?" I asked, impatiently.We've been in the ER for hours, but Gaze still hasn't given us any sign of what we're going to do with the traitor!"Just wait, little brat," Leonardo sighed, leaning against the wall.I just rolled my eyes at him. He was so annoying!I'm exhausted!"Why not just imprison Carlos and end Sheena's suffering?"I can't wait for it to happen!"Can you please calm down a bit, little brat?" Leonardo asked me angrily.I rolled my eyes, crossed my arms, and walked over to Flor, who was sleeping. Her mouth was taped shut, and her hands and feet were bound.She thinks that's how easy we are to spin!"Wake up, bitch!" As I kicked Flor's foot, I yelled at her.If only this woman could die right now!But... oh no!"Hey, what are you up to?" Leon solicitedI glared at him and kicked her once more."Why can't you see? I'm going to wake up this b*tch! " I told him I was annoyed.If I had glared at Leon, he would have stopped me.I can

TINAI woke up when I felt something on my head and realized I was in the room."Hey,"I looked at the person who had tapped me and stood up, but I fell back down when I felt pain throughout my entire body."Don't move," Leon said softly to me as he supported me behind me, but I persisted until he supported me to lean on the headboard of the bed."How are you feeling? You've had a fever for three days, "he said, turning to face me.I've had a fever for three days.How?"Sheena!" When he stopped me, I said I should get up, but I just leaned back because I still felt pain in my body."I said don't move!" Leon said this angrily to me, so I looked at him."I can't just lie here! Sheena! She's been shot! "I expressed my frustration to him.He scratched his head and looked at me, irritated."She's fine. The bullet that struck her stomach has also been removed." He said it softly so I could breathe easily."Don't worry, the search for Sheena is over,"I stopped, my eyes widening at what he s

What have you been keeping a secret for a long time, Dad?What else should I be aware of?"Cristina,"I shook him and stepped back.I'm not interested in hearing my father's explanation.I do not also want toMy father explained, "I've wanted to say this before, but my tongue is receding, perhaps because I'm afraid the Carlos' will return to my family."I turned to face him, quiet.I know how to make Dad feel guilty, but I don't understand why he has been silent for so long."I used to be Carlos's driver..." Dad began.My eyes widened in surprise.He used to be Carlos's driver?!How?That's something I don't recall—Oh, is that why they left me with Auntie Rosalinda?"My wife is a maid, your mother," he said bitterly as he looked at me.Dad has already begun to tell stories.-Ronaldo Montano is flashing back to an event that happened 18 years ago when he talks about it now."Ronaldo, you are the transaction's driver," Mr. Carlos said to Ronaldo."All right, sir," Ronaldo said, but he

April 2003,9:45 p.m.Ronaldo carefully climbed a tree to observe the workers dispersed throughout the warehouse.He was simply waiting for the appropriate moment to enter the warehouse."Raul! Let's get something to drink here! ""All right, hold on!"Ronaldo smiled, knowing that this was his chance to enter the warehouse.He took his time entering the room where the children were.The children's faces lit up when they saw him.He motioned for her to be quiet and approached the children with caution, knelt down, and took his belongings from the bag to remove the bag's chains from the body."As I promised, I will make you escaped," he said to the children, but their smile vanished and was replaced by fear until Ronaldo removed the chains from their hands and feet.He was about to stand up when he felt the gun's muzzle point at his head, and he panicked and dropped his tool.He walked right into the trap!"Montano, what did you promise them?" Mr. Carlos asked, his gun aimed at his head
Life in the Darkness CHAPTER 22.1
HARRYAll of the stories I heard about Father Ronaldo made me angry.The sister I had assumed had died was still alive.My sister who was found in the river before and the sister we buried before turned out to be different people.My parents' grief was not for Eleanor.But there's another child.How could Carlos have done this to our family?!They are the ones who owe our family something. My parents did nothing wrong to cause this to happen to us.I sighed heavily as I locked my gaze on Sheena.No, to Eleanor, my sister.I had no idea I'd be able to touch her again.I never expected to see her again.That's why I was confused when Gaze told me to look for information on Sheena, my sister, who was thought to be dead.She's my sister, who's been missing for a long time."What are your plans?"I sighed once again and looked at Gaze, who was leaning against the door."My emotions are mixed up right now. I'm not sure where to begin, and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to feel. " I responde

"Sheena,"I turned to Vanni, still clutching the business card I found in my dress pocket, thankfully undamaged.This is the card given to me by the woman sitting next to me at the funeral."What is it?" he asked."Ah."I smirked at him as I showed him my card."Come with me, we're going to an art exhibit!" I said, smiling, and pulling him into his clothes."What? We'll stay here; I can't hold myself back any longer, wife!"My eyes widened at him, and I hit him."Don't be naughty! I want to go to the Borromeo art museum!" I exclaimed.He frowned, as if he was remembering something."Is that Celeste Borromeo?"I nodded and looked at the card."Do you know her?" I asked, and he nodded."I've seen her at previous events; she's well-known because her family is well-known in business," he shrugged as he stood up to dress.I also put on a dress because I knew her museum would be open at 3 p.m. We may be late because he is slow."Giovanni! Come on! We'll go on a date after this!" I yelled at
Life in the Darkness EPILOGUE
Life in the Darkness...My life remained in complete darkness.Alone and without anyone to lean on.I wanted to give up but kept going.rising to face the struggle.I fought until the bitter end, until I attained the true freedom and justice that we all deserve.Justice in an abusive world. I almost took my own life because I believed that if I lived, I would have to live with the nightmare of the past.For the past 21 years, I have put up with everything for 21 years. The abuse and pain they inflicted on me For the past 21 years, I've been asking myself, "Why me?" "Why am I still the one experiencing abuse?" "Did I do something wrong?" But I've never found an answer because I've simply trained myself to do whatever they all wanted me to do.Is there still a choice for me? It is still forbidden if it is the last step out of the house. I didn't even notice the sun shining on me or how beautiful and bright the moon was. I wasn't even able to interact with other kids, go to school, or ha

I opened my eyes and gasped, but I was stunned because it was dark, and I noticed that I was shaking in a car trunk.I tried to loosen the rope around my wrist, but it was too tight. When I try to remove the rope, it hurts even more.What will Shanna do with me? Oh, no. I can feel the smoke as well. Fuck.I turned around, but I couldn't move much because my legs were also tied. The blood on my thigh and leg had also dried up, but I could still feel numbness throughout my body.I just closed my eyes, dripping sweat and biting my lower lip. I attempted to loosen my tie again, but it appears that the used tie is unusual.When I felt the car stop, I also stopped moving. I remained silent for a moment, starting to feel Shanna's every move leading to where I am now."Hmm, perfect location!" I overheard Shanna say.I took a deep breath and closed my eyes to keep her from noticing I was awake. When she opened the trunk, I had to brace myself.The full moon caught my attention when the trunk w

"Shanna."She just chuckled at me and looked at the graves of Mother Esme and Father Ronaldo."Sad. "Do you think it was because of you that they died?" she asked, smirking.I was taken aback and backed away. I will not be caught off guard by what she says. She's just doing this to bring out my guilt because she might be right that they died because of me."Why haven't you surrendered to the police?" I asked her seriously, as she was stunned."Why should I give up while you're still alive?" I'll give up only when you're gone."I backed away from her until I was leaning against their grave."Stop it, Shanna," I said as I walked away from her."It's your fault that my parents were killed, and it's your fault that our lives have become miserable," she said. She also started shooting at the museum."Don't blame me for everything, Shanna. You're the one who made your life miserable; I've been your slave for 18 years; isn't that enough? " I asked her as I continued to walk away from her, bu

We've all been preparing for Father Ronaldo's ceremony. I know he's with his mother, Esme, and Daniella wherever he is.He was not to blame for what happened to us; he was simply a victim of Carlos' cruelty.I just sighed, put on my sunglasses, and got out of the car.Tina, who was staring at her father's picture, looked stunned. I just averted my gaze because I couldn't bear to see her like this. Because of me, she lost both of her parents. Nobody else is to blame but me.I lost someone important to me as a result of my decisions."We've arrived,"I blinked at Gaze, who was unbuckling my seatbelt. I simply smiled and gazed out the window. I was surprised to see so many media outlets and people still calling for justice for us.Gaze helped me get out of the car, and we were greeted by the media right away, but our staff stopped them, and I just smiled at them before we went straight to where Dad would be buried, right next to Mother Esme."Sheena,"When I saw Fey with her mother, I wa

"Let us put an end to her pain."They remained silent as Gaze said something to them. They see him and realize they don't like what's going on. Especially considering what happened to his wife."This is entirely my fault. I-I'm sorry."When Gion did speak, his son simply stared at him."H-huh? H-hon? What are you talking about?" Vanessa asked her restless husband."I-I'm sorry—""What exactly did you do?"Gion was taken aback and looked at his son, who was staring at him blankly. He bowed and swallowed."Your tone, A-Axel."Gaze paid no attention to Vanessa, who was puzzled about her husband and son.They can sense the conflict between the father and son.Leon coughed to make their uncomfortable situation less awkward."Right now, let's think about catching Shanna. She's the only ones left that we can press on their cases. "Maybe we can preserve Dad Ronaldo's corpse and postpone his funeral while Sheena is still sleeping," Leon said, supporting his wife."We'll go first because my wif

SHANNANo.They are not dead.They're not going to kill themselves like that. They are familiar to me because they are my parents.When I heard what happened on the radio, I went straight to the morgue to see if I had heard correctly.I've hidden my face, and I'm not going to let them catch me.I tried to get into the morgue without alerting the media or the police. When I saw Mom and Dad were dead, I felt stabbed with pain, knowing they were truly gone.I can't believe they died so suddenly.I punched the mirror and examined the shattered mirror. I'm not going to let Sheena live. I'm going to kill her. It is entirely her fault that this is happening to me.If she had just killed herself before, none of this would have happened.She must die. I'll send her and her family back to hell. I'm not going to stop until I've killed her.I wiped away my tears as I prepared to leave my hiding place. They'll know where I'm hiding now. I'm not going to be caught alive.I packed my belongings and

What exactly is this? What is Carlos's trick?No, it is not true.They can't just die because I haven't gotten justice and Shanna hasn't been captured.The Chief accompanied me to the morgue, where the Carlos were brought after the police said they found them lifeless hanging from the ceiling. I'm not going to believe it until I see them.Many members of the media and the general public were waiting to hear about Carlos' death when we arrived."Mrs. Ezrael,"I took a deep breath and simply nodded to the Chief as he got out of the car and opened the door for me.I went down and was greeted by the media, but they were blocked as we went inside.We went straight to where Carlos had been taken. I was taken aback when I noticed someone lying on the stainless steel bed."Mrs. Ezrael?"I was just shocked by where the one with the blanket was. I couldn't move my feet to go inside because I couldn't accept their deaths. I can't believe they died without even feeling pain."Would you like me to

SHEENAI woke up to see myself in the room. I was about to make a move when I noticed someone was holding my hand.I peered to see who it was and noticed Tina had dozed off while watching over me."Oh my gosh, Sheena! You're awake!"I just smiled at her as she hugged me.I said quietly, "Thank you," and she moved away from me, smiling."Are you okay?"I simply nodded at her, but my smile faded as I remembered Father Ronaldo."S-sorry... It's all my fault," I apologized.I'm still blaming myself for what happened to Ronaldo's father. These things would not have happened if I hadn't been so desperate to catch the Carlos.Tina's parents died as a result of my actions. I was too careless in my actions, and I didn't consider the people around me."Sheena, I know you still blame yourself for what happened to my parents, but it's not your fault; Dad did the right thing, but some people just won't stop doing bad things.."Tina sobbed and covered her face."I-it hurts to accept...
