Life in the Darkness CHAPTER 29
SHEENA"Aren't you dead?" Why are you still alive? ""Gaze is entirely mine!""Sheena, I'm going to kill you!" You must have died a long time ago! ""Sheena!""N-No..""You're going to die!""N-No..""You thought you could forget the past?" "No, Sheena! You can still carry your past! ""I'm not going to let you be happy!""NO!"As I caught my breath, I woke up.N-No!I'm fine. I am no longer tied.I am no longer a slave to them.H-how...?My eyes widened as I stared at my trembling hands.W-Why? Why does it appear to be happening again?"Sheena?"Why do I keep feeling like I'm choking?Why does it appear that a rope is dangling from my neck?"Sheena!"I grabbed my head because it hurt and my vision was blurry.I could see almost nothing but darkness around me.When I saw what I was wearing, a white dress, my eyes widened and I fell to the floor."W-what is going on?" I murmured to myself, unsure whether it was a dream or reality.When the light turned on, I closed my eyes and was surp

"You two are now married."It's nice to know you're legally married to the person you rely on, the person who saved you from death, the person who is your savior.It's nice to know you're breathing easily. The ones who are free of pain, bitterness, or grief are the ones I learn to love.Throughout my painful life, I have only recently learned how to live in a colorful world that I had never known before.Mama Esme was right in saying that I could still see light and hope. I will not be confined in darkness for the rest of my life so that I can see more of who I truly am.I'll never forget your lecture for me, Mom.I know you are always by my side, keeping an eye on me. I'll never forget how much you cared for me as if I were your biological child.I'll never forget how you gave up your life so that I could live a long life.I'm sorry if I almost gave up. I'm sorry if I nearly killed myself. I'm sorry for not being there when you put your life in danger just for me. I'm sure you're happ
Life in the Darkness CHAPTER 31
THIRDPERSONSheena and Gaze, newlyweds, had a wonderful honeymoon together.They didn't think about the future; instead, they focused on their family.The Carlos family, on the other hand, suffered the most. They endured the small island, the hut, and the bad smell because they couldn't leave because they thought they were still wanted by the law.People who lived luxuriously back then are now suffering.Sheo Carlos, the Carlos family's patriarch, became a fisherman, while Shanna's mother, Sheila Carlos, became a housewife.Shanna, on the other hand, is so bored with their current lifestyle that they thought they could escape the past, but it appears to be chasing them."You're Sheo Carlos, right?"The Carlos couple were taken aback and looked at the old man who stepped out of the fancy car."It's not me!" Sheo exclaimed, and they were afraid to pack their belongings to return home because Shanna was already preparing dinner."I knew it! The police are after you!"They were even more

"Wait for me to call you," said Velasco as Shanna lay on the bed.Shanna only grinned.How many times has something happened to them without their parents' knowledge, with the exception of the old man's other staff?She has also saved money because whenever the old man desires s*x, he gives her money.She didn't consider the old man to be an easy target or easy money."All right, where are you going?"He turned to face her."My kids are already looking for me at home."Shanna was taken aback and secretly smirked again when she learned he had children.She will target not only the elderly man, but also his children.Shanna winked at him and the older man, "Hmm, see you."He approached Shanna and kissed her passionately."You're mine,"Shanna simply nodded and pushed the older man away."All right, bye."Shanna stood up and waved to the old man, who had already left the room, while the blanket covered her.She spit and rubbed her mouth aggressively because she despised his kiss."The fu
Life in the Darkness CHAPTER 33
"Their worst nightmare has returned..."Because Carlos has been there for five years, nothing has changed since then.They keep serving Velasco because they have nothing else to lose.Shanna, on the other hand, continues with her activities while still looking for the Ezraels.They had no idea... Their worst nightmare will return."Shanna!""What?"Her staff was still gasping, and all she could do was raise an eyebrow at him."Those..."She slapped her staff in frustration because she couldn't speak politely."What!""Those E-Ezraels... they're back!"Shanna was stunned and her eyes widened as she heard what she had been searching for a long time...It's come back."W-what...?"-"We're back!" Aphrodite exclaimed as they stepped out of the car."We're not in Italy, little brat," Leon clarified.Aphrodite simply rolled her eyes at him and entered the Ezraels' mansion.Leon simply shook his head and looked at their youngest sister, who is now speaking Italian."Be careful, kids," Sheena
Life in the Darkness CHAPTER 34
Sheena became preoccupied with her work a few days after she had spent her time planning to capture Carlos. Since their return to the Philippines,There is almost no sleep for the justice she seeks.She is prepared to confront the family that has ruined her life as well as to confront her dark past and become a nightmare for Carlos."Hello, Chief, this is Sheena Ezrael.""M-Mrs. Ezrael, have you returned? What can I do for you?"Sheena inhaled deeply and turned to face her office window."I was wondering if there was an update on the Carlos.""Ah, yes, according to my people. They are in the province and are led by Velasco, and my people there say they are still doing illegal work."Sheena clenched her fists and took a deep breath."Shanna?""She has been paid by wealthy businessmen in the province, and she focuses on the elderly man in order to make a lot of money."She simply shook her head.She expected it, so how could they afford to hire someone to spy on the mansion?"OK, that's
Life in the Darkness CHAPTER 35
"Are you certain you want to go to the provinces?" Aphrodite asked.Sheena took a deep breath and looked around at her friends."I'm sure I'll go with Vanni, and we'll just meet in court," she said. She moved her gaze to Vanni, who was patting her on the shoulder."Sheena.""Tina,"Tina sobbed as she hugged Sheena, who only smiled."Isn't that it? Isn't it? There's no delay yet. We can get justice, right? " Tina asked, her eyes welling up as Sheena stroked her back."Ssshhh... You can't cry too much because of your baby; I wish I could take you with me, but you know you can't, especially now that you're pregnant," Sheena said calmly, and Tina nodded."Beware, the Carlos are cunning; they can escape the law once more."Sheena simply smiled and touched Tina's belly."I'm happy... We have our own family now. It's like we used to just dream about seeing or meeting the man who would accept us... And he listened to our request. "It's a shame Mother Esme never experienced being a grandmother
Life in the Darkness CHAPTER 36
"W-Who is Sheena Carlos?"When Don Velasco arrived at their house, Carlos' eyes widened."D-Don V-Velasco," he says.They were scared to look at how dark the old man's face was in front of them."You miss me that much, Honey—""Shut the fuck up! Bitch!" Don Velasco yelled at Shanna as she walked down the stairs, surprising her."D-Don."Don Velasco clenched his fists and motioned to his men."Search their belongings! You might find out what connection they have with Sheena Carlos!" Don Velasco yelled angrily at his men, ordering them to immediately obey and search the Carlos' belongings."D-Don Velasco... W-we don't know who you're talking about!" exclaims Sheila, stopping Don Velasco's men from tampering with their belongings."Stop!" Don Velasco yelled at Sheila, grabbing her arm and pushing her hard, surprising Carlos even more."You're too much!" Shanna yelled at him, slapping his men, but Velasco grabbed her hair and slapped her so hard that Shanna's eyes widened and she grabbed

"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... It's difficu
