Life in the Darkness CHAPTER 41
Gaze had just woken up in the middle of the night when he noticed Sheena wasn't by his side, so he got up and looked in the bathroom and on their terrace, but she was nowhere to be found.He exited their room and looked through the living room to the kitchen, but his wife was still not there. Gaze was worried that something bad had happened to his wife that he would not be able to forgive himself for."Axel,"When Gaze noticed his father drinking alone at their kitchen minibar, he turned around and gasped."Dad.""Are you looking for something?"Gaze took a deep breath and approached his father."Did you see my wife, Pa?"Gion was taken aback and raised his brows at his son."No? I thought you were in your room with her."Gaze shook his head, becoming even more worried."I just woke up without her beside me," Gaze expressed concern to his father, who smiled back."You've changed,"He turned to face his father and frowned."Are you drunk?"His father just laughed and shook his head."I
Life in the Darkness CHAPTER 42
Sheena has already started looking for Ronaldo and Fey, as well as Shanna, but days have passed. They have yet to be found. There is also no information as to where Shanna brought the old man and Fey, who could have raised the alarm, so she hides even more."Sheena..."Sheena shifted her gaze to the attorney and her husband."The next hearing is coming up; we can't stop the trial," Attorney Fuentes stated solemnly.Sheena simply clenched her fist and took a deep breath."Can't you do something, Attorney? I won't start the hearing unless Father Ronaldo and Fey are present. I'm worried about them,"The attorney sighed and walked over to Sheena."I understand how you feel, but if this continues, we may not win the case. You are the ace against the Carlos; you are the only one who can expose their sins. " said the lawyer to her."But..""Are you going to waste all your hard work, Sheena?"Sheena was taken aback and bit her lower lip."How long have you worked hard for them? How long have

No way! How come she's still alive?! She must be dead!Shanna was furious when she realized Sheena was still alive. She had no idea how she was still alive. She only remembers Sheena's escape from their mansion, and she hasn't seen her since.Worse, the Ezraels rescued Sheena, which angered her even more."Wake up!" she yelled at her two hostages before kicking them hard.They got up and moved."Why is Sheena still alive?" she demanded angrily."She's no longer alive!"Ronaldo smirked as Shanna turned to face him."Now that she's facing everyone, I won't wonder why you're so angry," Ronaldo said with a smirk that irritated Shanna even more, causing her to pull his hair."What did you say?! You know, Sheena is alive?! So you're confident now, huh?" Shanna demanded angrily, tightening her grip on the old man's hair.Ronaldo ignored his headache and turned to face Shanna."How does it feel like your nightmare is still alive, Ms. Shanna? You have no escape. "If I were you, I would just su

Dela Cruz and Fey have arrived at the station to make their statements. Fey couldn't speak clearly because she was still shaken by what had happened, so the attorney detailed the entire incident.After searching for Ronaldo and Fey for several days, the police went to the Ezraels' mansion to report what had happened."Mrs. Ezrael, Fey, and attorney Dela Cruz are safe at the station,"Sheena and Tina breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't stop smiling at what they had heard, but their smile faded when they heard the bad news."But, Mr. Ronaldo, he was discovered dead on the grass. I'm sorry. We're too late," the chief sadly told them.They were stunned, particularly Tina, who collapsed on the floor upon learning what had happened to her father. Sheena was speechless because she had been stunned.Tina screamed angrily, "Daddy!" and burst into tears. Even Sheena was in tears and couldn't think of anything else to say."We moved him to the morgue."Despite their pain, they insisted on vis

They arrived at another station and found Carlos in a cell. Gaze was worried about his wife because she hadn't said anything since they left."Are you okay?" he worriedly asked. Sheena had just held his hand but didn't say anything, so he didn't even ask because he could feel his wife's emotions when he held her hand."Mrs. and Mr. Ezrael, just wait here,"Gaze simply nodded to the chief and returned his gaze to Sheena. He motioned for her to sit, but she just shook her head, so he sighed and remained silent.Sheena, on the other hand, is eager to see Carlos again."S-Sheena."Sheena was taken aback and looked at Carlos. She observed them; they were no longer as elegant as they once were. The Carlos family screamed of wealth, but now they appeared weak."Where is your daughter?" she asked coldly. They came to a halt and looked at her."W-what—"Sheila was taken aback when Sheena hit the table."Where is your demon daughter?! Where is she hiding?" She raged.They were stunned and unabl

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

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

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

"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
