Chapter 8: Attempted Rape
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56At night, I was seated beside Emiliano on the couch. He wanted me to continue my story. Phoenix was beside us. I continued in flashback.
***In the morning, the singing birds woke me up from sleep. I gathered my fragile self up. My eyes were aching. I couldn’t stare at daylight, it made my vision blurry. I had to squint from the woods. I just needed to leave the neighborhood. I reached a river, I saw a sailor who helped me to cross the river with my bags. I was going to my maternal grandmother’s house. After her demise many years ago, foreigners inhabited the house. We learned they returned to their hometown a few months ago and the house was now vacant. I trudged down the remaining miles, carrying bags all around my shoulders while pulling two suitcases. I almost resembled a camel carrying many loads. After a long trudge under the now scorching sun, I was faced with my grandma’s house. I let down all the loads from my body. I heaved a sigh of relief. I was tired, hungry,Related chapters

After the last word which came out like a whisper, my head rested against Emiliano’s shoulder. I was drifting gradually to sleep. My eyes closed, and my mind went blank as I dozed off.~Emiliano~I stared at the sleeping Ginevra. I didn’t want to disturb the sleeping baby by waking her up to go to bed. I simply stared at her. I wished she never leaves. After so many months, I finally found someone to relate freely to. Sienna. How can I forget? Sienna was a vivacious idol. Her beauty radiates. Her smile always captured my heart, making me wish never to lose sight of her. I vividly remembered that night we argued. She was deeply furious with me. I never knew a minor case could leave a scar on me for so long. Why didn’t I stop her that night? I was upset from an outing with my friends I could remember. I stayed out late, yet she waited for me. ***It was Valentine’s night. She wanted us to spend time together alone. What would I have done when my old college pals

After dinner, I went into my room. Phoenix was already sleeping on the couch. I took a cool shower and sat on a stool in front of the vanity table to apply my night cream. I was already in my nightgown. I flipped my hair aside as I applied the cream to my neck and way down my shoulders. I lifted my leg, applying the cream to my thigh and down my flawless leg to my foot. When I was done, I stood up. Turning to the bed, I drew in the air sharply. Emiliano was at the door. His arms were firmly crossing his chest while leaning against the wall and gazing at me. Why didn’t I notice him earlier? Did he appear like a ghost or what? Besides, why was he staring lustfully at me? He began walking toward me. I took a step back. I wanted to ask why he was in my room at this specific nighttime, but the words died in my mouth the moment he crossed the distance between us and stood right in front of me. He leaned forward and tilted his head to the crook of my neck. I let out a gasp. I clutched the ed

Later in the day, I allowed Phoenix to go play outside with a ball while I went to meet Emiliano in his room. I placed a knock severally on the door, he didn’t respond. What could be wrong? I held the door handle and creaked the door open. He wasn’t inside. Where did he go? I wondered. I went to the book self, picking up “the wandering falcon.” I want to read the novel. Was the falcon lost in the forest or what? What does the novel entail? As I started to read the back blurb, the door to the bathroom opened and Emiliano walked in, cleaning his wet hair with a towel. I swallowed hard, staring at him. He had another towel around his waist, fully showing off his v-cut and well-defined abs. He was stunning. His toned chest was flawless. His shoulders down to his arms were sturdy and hard. How can he be so beautiful? He cast a surprised look at me as he stopped cleaning his hair. Water dripped from his hair onto his shoulder and down his chest making me almost swoon. He moved closer, I too

The next day, I decided to continue my story, maybe since it was daytime, I wouldn’t fall asleep easily. We were seated on the silver swing, facing the yard flowers. The vegetation seems to be getting more beautiful with each passing day.“Where did I stop?” I asked Emiliano. I wanted to know if he remembered the story.“After a horrible night at your grandma’s house, your sister returned in the morning. After explaining her escape strategy, you two went out to get something to eat,” Emiliano responded.“You still remembered! Bravo!” I laughed.“I can’t forget an important story,” he said. “It’s your life story and it’s very much important to me.”“I do matter to you, don’t I?” I asked, smiling at him.“You mean more than matter to me, Ginevra. You mean the world to me, and I can’t ever imagine losing you, too,” he expressed. His voice got me feel sorry for him. It’s more like a fellow feeling.“I’m going no place either, Emiliano,” I assured. “Eve

At dawn, I woke up and dialed Luna’s number, still switched off. I went into the bathroom to freshen up. I returned to the bedroom, dressed up, and carried my traveling bag to the living room. I returned to the bedroom to take my phone and change my purse. I went back to the living room, did a silent prayer, and walked to the door. As I opened the door, I was dumbstruck. I let down my bag. Tears fell from my eyes. Luna was laid down with a bruised face, neck, arms, and a sign of a bullet shot in her thigh. I dropped down to my knees. I placed my head on her chest, she was still breathing. I gathered my strength and helped her to the bedroom. I didn’t know what gave me the courage to do all these, but I was grateful. The normal me will weep, fumble around her body, and never think. Thank God for the new me. “I won’t let anything happen to you, I promise,” I assured amid tears. My new me will still cry but with reasoning. At least I knew I needed a doctor. I ran out of the house

***I yawned. Emiliano smiled. I was hungry. It was sunset already, no dinner yet.“Let’s go get dinner fixed then,” Emiliano said.I nodded. We headed inside. I carried Phoenix in my arms. When we reached inside, I put Phoenix down on the couch and followed Emiliano to the kitchen. I wanted to join him in fixing dinner tonight. I should become responsible too.“What can I help with?” I asked.He turned to me. “What can you do?” he smiled at me.“I can do many things,” I smiled back, moving to the countertop. I picked up the knife to cut the vegetables. I wonder when last I did that. Even with Luna, I don’t cut vegetables, she only allows me to do the dishes and then hands off. She will do everything else then I will help her to set the dining table. But I do know how to cook. Most times when Luna goes on a business travel, I do cook.“Be careful,” he said. I smiled.He set the pot on fire. We were going to make chicken casserole alongside ric

The following morning, I joyfully opened my eyes. I was expecting to see Emiliano still beside me on the bed. He was gone. I yawned tiredly. I needed more sleep, but not now. Where did Emiliano go? Maybe he went downstairs to prepare breakfast. I swung my feet to the floor. I went into the bathroom to freshen up. I returned to the room after some minutes and slid into a simple dress. I headed to the door. I opened the door and descended downstairs. I went directly to the kitchen, he wasn’t there, but breakfast was served. I looked around the living room for him. Maybe he was in the study room. I headed upstairs. I went into the study room, calling out his name, no response. He wasn’t inside the study room. I left for his room and checked the bathroom and every nook and cranny of the room. He must be outside, perhaps, in the yard. I descended the staircase once more. I went out to the yard, the swing was empty, and no one was in the yard. I checked the gazebo. I checked the garage then

I woke up on my bed. I sat up. My eyes darted around the room. I looked behind me. It was a dream. Who was the hoodie lady? She had two identities. One was the one in a red hoodie, and the other who came behind me was wearing a similar hoodie, but white. I saw neither of their faces. Why was she knocking? Who was she looking for? Why was she two? I stood up from the bed and faced the mirror. I looked at my reflection. How time flies. My days of loneliness were complimented by each beautiful moment I spent with Emiliano. God has blessed my shadowed life with a new light of a brighter future. Maybe it’s time I let the past die and face a new beginning. Maybe the two ladies were me. The one in red hasn’t forgotten the past just yet. She lingered in the past where nothing lies, but sorrow, and helplessness. The one in white could be me living my life in a peaceful future. Maybe she was urging me to stop chasing after the past and connect with a beautiful future. If that must be me, then

Luna's Reincarnation: Our Sisterly Bond Epilogue
~Sienna~I woke up in the room, looking around like a lost child. Back to Emiliano’s place again. How long have I been gone? I stepped down from the bed and headed to the door. I opened the door and walked to the inner balcony. From there I saw Ginevra weeping with Emiliano comforting her. She must be missing Luna. I have never seen sisters so concerned about each other before. What is the essence of me coming back then? I got no home, no parents, no siblings, no lover, I have lost everything. It’s better to stay in the other world than living a lonely life. Luna has everyone, she has her sister who cares about her so much. I lost Emiliano already, it won’t be fair interfering in his relationship anymore. It’s my fate and I got to accept it. I sighed and returned to the room. I lay back on the bed, supplicated a few words, and went back into a deep sleep. I have learned a lot from my Master Lyon. Yeah, I met a master in my darkness, he taught me a lot about the other world. At least,

Just then, a knock came on the door. He stopped, his eyes turned to the door and the knock came up again. “Who is there?” he grunted. “Someone wants to see you, boss,” one of his men sounded from behind the door.“Who is it?” he queried.“He wouldn’t say his name, boss,” the man stated.“You stay here,” he groaned in my ear and went to the door. The moment he opened the door, he was pushed back, hitting his back against the wall and the knife fell from his hands. I turned my head to the door, Emiliano stood at the door, holding a handgun and aiming it at Mariano. The guard that was speaking fell dead. Maximo showed up. A smile flashed to my face, seeing my people come to defend me. I have never been defended before, this feels like a whole new beginning in my life.“Move it!” Emiliano ordered, aiming the gun straight at Mariano’s head. They indeed look super alike. I couldn’t find a distinction, except for the clothes they were putting on, or possibly the emotion in their eyes.

It has been a week since I started going out with Mariano. It’s becoming overwhelming, coupled with the fact that he desperately wishes to take me to bed. So frustrating. I can’t handle it anymore, it’s not okay mingling with my murderer. Time for the big show. I freshened up and dressed up in the most seductive dress I could lay my hands on. It was a sparkling deep blue short gown that seems to be hanging out my butt. I heated my hair to curl up and applied heavy makeup. I stepped into my high heels and stood up. I put a small knife into my purse.“Do or die again, Luna. This is your chance,” I reminded myself with a slight chuckle and headed out. I descended downstairs, taking each step with elegance like an awaiting queen. Emiliano’s eyes turned to me. He began staring at my transformation. Thank God Ginevra wasn’t there, I don’t wish to deal with jealousy before beginning my revenge today. I stepped down the last staircase and Emiliano swallowed hard. I raised one of my eyebrows.

I returned home, shuffling into the living room. Ginevra was pacing up and down, holding her phone. She stopped abruptly and hurried to me.“Are you fine?” she asked, holding me. I nodded and sighed. “Did you see him? Did you recognize him?” Ginevra queried.“No, we lost him,” I said and sighed, collapsing onto the couch. Ginevra sat with me.“How come?”Well, we waited patiently for him at the restaurant where he stopped. He didn’t come out till we fell asleep,” I explained.“Oh, that means you didn’t even get to talk to him at all, right?”“Exactly.”“Hey, you are back. How did it go?” Emiliano queried, handing a cup of tea to Ginevra.“We lost him,” I said simply and stood up. “We will try our luck next time. Getting to know his place is my priority right now,” I declared and started walking away. Emiliano held my wrist and I turned abruptly to face him.“I will help you…no matter what,” he assured. I nodded and headed upstairs. Ginevra stood up and moved close to Emiliano

Maximo accepted with a nod and carried Luna up. I followed him to Luna’s room and he laid her down.“What will happen now?” Maximo asked. “Huuuhhh!” I sighed heavily. “She will wake up. Please, stay with her,” I told him.“Uh, sure,” he accepted and sat down on the bed. I headed out. I opened the door and glanced back at them before going out. I went downstairs to meet Emiliano. He was seated on the couch in the living room, staring at the door. I sat beside him.“I’m sorry,” I said and he looked at me. “It’s…it’s just hard…I don’t know what to say, sweetheart, but I’m sorry. I believe you,” I apologized and he smiled.“You don’t have to apologize, sweetheart. I understand. Even though it hurts that you thought I was a murderer, it’s still fine,” he said and smiled. I snuggled closer to him, he held me and kissed my hair.“Do you think you…uh, you have a twin?” I asked, lifting my eyes to look at him. He paused, staring into space for a few seconds. I released myself from his h

“That’s it! It’s him, it’s Emiliano!” I groaned, turning away from the screen. “That scumbag!”“Emiliano?” Freda sounded and I looked at her. “But his name is Mariano,” Freda added and shrugged her shoulders at my confused stare.“His name is Mariano? “ I asked and she nodded.“At least that was what he told me,” Freda stated.I brought out my phone. I opened my camera to film the video. “Play it again,” I told Maximo. He replayed the video while I recorded it. “Thank you, Aldo,” I appreciated Aldo. He smiled. “Let’s go,” I told Freda and Maximo. We returned to the car.“What will happen now?” Maximo asked. “We will take her back home. Any silly move, I will get flowers for her funeral,” I told Maximo while intently intimidating Freda. Her heartbeat began heaving up and down again.“I will do anything you say,” she reassured.“Any smart move, don’t forget I’m still a reincarnated soul,” I added and she gasped. Maximo moved off.I placed a call to Ginevra, telling her I won’t

“Do you remember Luna?” I queried, interrogatingly staring deep into her eyes like the shaft of the sun over a deep blue ocean. She went as quiet as still water with only the sound of her heart banging her ribcage. She stared at me, confusion wearing off the weight of fear from her heart. “You remember her?” I asked again, relaxing against the chair, giving her room to rack her brain. She intently shook her head. “Well, let me tell you a story, maybe then you can remember,” I said and sat up. “About a year ago, you called Luna, a photographer, you wanted her to shoot at your fake wedding. She believed you and traveled down to Naples. On the night of her arrival, a villain, the man she feared most in her life stormed into her hotel room. Now guess who showed up when she tried to escape,” I narrated. Her chest began heaving up and down again. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead, clustered sweat rushing down her temple.“I…I…I…” she tried to speak, but no other words came out. I gave

~Ginevra~I sat with Emiliano in the living room. He was holding me close in comfort. Since the confrontation earlier, Luna hasn’t shown up. I wonder where she went. I clutched Emiliano’s shirt. I was shuddering from within. My breathing hitched. Luna wasn’t taking her calls. Did she leave like she wanted? I was scared to lose my sister again.“Calm down, sweetheart. You don’t have to worry, she must have gone out to clear her head,” Emiliano comforted.“But why isn’t she taking her calls?” I sobbed and sniffed.“She will be fine. If she doesn’t come back before 9 PM, I will go look for her, okay?” Emiliano soothed, patting my shoulder gently. I nodded against his chest.Then the door creaked open. Luna entered. I sprang up, flitting to the door. Emiliano stood up.“Where have you been?” I queried more like scolding, grabbing her hand. “I was worried, I thought you left,” I calmed my voice.“I’m sorry, I went to see a friend,” Luna said as we headed to Emiliano.“Who is that?” I asked

I couldn’t shoot him. I shot at the wall. I dropped to my knees in tears. Ginevra slowly removed her hands from her ears, carefully turning around to look at Emiliano. She looked back at me. She rushed down to me and wrapped her arms around my neck, crying.“Calm down, crescent moon, I understand how you feel,” Ginevra sobbed. I sniffed. I couldn’t shoot Emiliano because of Ginevra. I love her so much to do anything for her. How could I kill the father of her unborn baby? All the vengeance and pain accumulated in my heart and it hurts. It felt like a brick was thrown at my heart when I decided not to shoot him because of Ginevra. Emiliano shuffled to us. Ginevra held me up.“We can sort this out, Luna, I honestly didn’t kill you, believe me,” Emiliano soothed. I cast a glare at him. Ginevra held my hand tightly. “I have never killed anyone, Luna, never in my life,” Emiliano stated.“Believe him, Luna, he didn’t kill you, I can vow he didn’t,” Ginevra added. My chest heaved up and down
