When I entered the house, I immediately went straight to Clara's room. Her things were scattered on the floor and bed. But a box on her computer desk caught my attention. I approached it and opened it, where I realized that it was the things that she often uses and carries. I almost shed tears as I looked at them one by one and took them out of the box. Until a photo fell from a journal, so I immediately picked it up and looked at it.
It's a picture of her with three guys with smiley lines on their lips. She never mentioned to me the men in the picture. Maybe it's her friends or co-workers. So, I didn't pay attention to it, instead, I turned my attention to her journal that I found inside the box. I sat on the bed for a while as I read what was written there.
It's like a personal diary in which she writes every event in her life or whatever is running through her mind. I didn't notice suspicious on its first page. But as I read it, I seem to gradually get an idea of what she does daily and who she hangs out with.
I was stunned when I read a few pages of it where she mentions three men she met and became friends with. Perhaps the three men she is referring to are the same as her in the photo. But I continued reading until I noticed that everything written there got shorter and shorter. There were a few blank pages that she hadn't written yet, and I thought that was all, but as I turned each page I noticed something written on the back of her journal.
“September 03, 2018.” It was written in red ink, and perhaps it was a special day for her. But what does she mean by the sentence, “I wish I were her.” She seemed to be referring to someone else in those terms. Although who? And why did she say that?
While I was thinking deeply about that, I suddenly let go of the journal when I heard a loud doorbell from outside. I picked up the journal for a moment and put it on the bed before I left the room and headed to the door.
“Charmaine Davis?” The delivery man asked me.
“Yes, I am,” I respond with a nod of my head. Suddenly, he reached for something in a small box, which surprised me.
“This is for you. Please just sign the bottom of the paper.” He said, and after I signed it, he immediately left, so I didn't get to ask him a question.
I stared in wonder at the box I received. I looked around, but I didn't notice anything unusual there, so I closed the door and sat on the sofa.
It doesn't say who sent it and what's inside. I was curious, so I immediately opened the box where I found a piece of paper with the words, “Do you think she committed suicide?” when I read that, I suddenly stood up and immediately left the house to look for the delivery man again, but regardless of where I turned, I didn't see him again.
I wanted to ask him who sent me that box or where it came from. Furthermore, I feel that he is very close to me, and he might just be around me right now where he is secretly watching me.
This is not a warning but a big clue that I suspected correctly that Clara did not commit suicide but was killed.
But who? Who will do to her that, and what is his motive why he killed her?
At that moment, I didn't feel any fear or apprehension that I might be being watched from not far away by the person who sent me this letter. I was determined to find out the truth and who killed Clara. So, I didn't waste any time and went back to the room to read her journal again. I hope that I can find a clue that can tell me who is behind it all or what happened to her. But as I expected, it was not easy. I couldn't even leave the house and I didn't realize that for two days I was just inside my room facing the computer.
I didn't stop investigating, and I carefully studied every detail in her journal so that I could almost memorize everything written there. Until all of a sudden, there were ads with obscene photos of naked men. I would have ignored it, but the girl he was in the picture where she was lying on the bed looked familiar to me. Out of curiosity, I opened it and suddenly an obscene video played where a man and a woman had sex naked. I didn't finish the video because I would rather not watch those kinds of videos. However, I read some comments where I noticed they were talking about what seemed to be a popular video to them. At the bottom, I saw a link, so I immediately clicked on it to open it.
As I expected, it was also an obscene video, but I was stunned and stopped when I saw the naked woman in the video was my sister, Clara.
I covered my mouth and suddenly tears came to my eyes as I watched it. I stood up, and my whole body was shaking because of what I saw. Furthermore, I immediately left my room and went outside to get some fresh air.
Besides, I can't breathe what I discovered and what I saw.
It wasn't Clara. Maybe she just looks like the girl in the video, but it's not her.
I tried to fool myself just to calm myself down, but it still wasn't enough to make me forget everything. It seemed to show itself over and over again in my mind where my knees went weak, and I sat down while I tightly held the edge of the door.
While I was catching my breath, it suddenly started to rain heavily. I didn't realize that I had been sitting outside the house for hours, and I was getting wet from the rain. Until I looked up and noticed someone looking at me from a distance while holding a black umbrella. I looked closely at his face, but he was covered with a black mask, and he was wearing a black raincoat.
We stared at each other for a few minutes, when suddenly I thought about the letter I received from the unknown sender. Therefore, I stood up and thought that he might be that person. Maybe he sent me that letter. Possibly, he and Clara knew each other very well, and he might know something about her death.
If he is a witness, I need his help. I need to get close to him and I need to hear the truth from him.
I was about to approach him, but he suddenly turned and ran away from me. Therefore, I didn't get to question him about what happened to Clara.
Perhaps he's afraid of getting hurt, or could be he hiding something else?
I went back inside the house and went to my room. Even though my whole body was wet, I sat in front of the computer and took a deep breath before I watched her video again. Even though I was disgusted by what I was seeing, I forced myself to open my eyes just to find out the reason why she did that and why she decided to do that.
However, I know Clara. She wouldn't do that for no reason. I'm sure she had a deep reason why she did that. But regardless of the reason or no matter how big her problem is, she would never think of doing it just because of money.
Perhaps she was forced to do so. Possibly, they scared her and were afraid that if she didn't follow their orders they will hurt her. And when I find out that my suspicions are right, I will make sure that the whole world knows how dirty people they are. I will never miss even a little strand of their hair. All of them will suffer at my hands and will die mercilessly.
I will kill them all.
I fell asleep in my seat soaking wet after watching all her videos. Furthermore, I just woke up when I heard the doorbell, so I immediately stood up and went to the door. When I opened the door, I didn't find anyone else there except for a box. So, I picked it up and went inside with a look of astonishment on my face.
Perhaps the person who also sent me the letter yesterday sent it to me.
When I opened the box, I saw three photos of the man with their name written on the back. I was even more curious because the men in the photo are the same men with Clara in the picture that fell from her journal.
Therefore, I immediately went to my room and sat in front of the computer. I searched for the names of the men in the photo and was stunned to find out who they were and what their true identities were.
A week ago, I received a box from an unknown sender again. Inside it was an old cell phone where it suddenly rang and someone was calling. I answered it immediately and put it close to my ear.“Who is this and what do you need from me?” I asked, but he took a long time to respond, I could only hear his heavy breathing. “I know you are the one sending me this box. Why are you helping me and how did you meet Clara?” I added, but again I heard silence from him, and he suddenly hung up on me. Until my cellphone vibrated, and I received a text message from him.“Let's meet at 107 Savante Ramos St. at I Bean coffee shop, at seven sharp in the evening.” The message he sent me.I tried to trace his IP address, but I had a hard time finding him because he was using an old cellphone, and it looked like he just threw it away somewhere.As stated in the message, I went to the said place at the right time. I sat near the window and was far from the eyes of the people there. While I was waiting for
"Good evening, sir and madam." Dante congratulated the business couple and owner of the large hacienda where they stand today.Currently celebrating the twenty-fifth birthday of their unica hija, Hera Marcaida. Known to be beautiful, sexy body, intelligent, sole heir of Marcaida and a great ballerina.But despite his perfect nature, he has the opposite attitude. She is rude, arrogant, cursing, sharp-tongued and looks down on men who want to claim her heart. He believes that they only want wealth or money from him. So until now, he still has no one to choose to marry even though there are many courting and queuing up for him.The Marcaida couple is voluntarily looking for a man to stay with them. They are just worried that she might not be able to marry again because she is very sensitive, especially with men. But no matter how hard they try to push it to others, he always refuses, avoids or doesn't show up to the blind dates reserved for him."Thank you and accept our invitation to yo
despite Hera walking and blurring her eyes due to forming tears, she suddenly bumped into the young waiter who was holding a tray of wine glasses. So, he dropped it and it broke on the floor.Because of this, he grabbed the attention of their guests. He turned to them and looked at him."I'm sorry, Ma'am. I really didn't mean to bump into you," the waiter apologized to him while picking up and cleaning the broken glasses.The girl could not move. He was confused about what to do and seemed to be rolling his eyes around. Bon noticed her immediately so he approached her and held her by the arm."Ms. Hera, are you okay?" he said worriedly while making sure he had no wounds or scars on his body."Bon," said the girl softly. The conversation between the two was interrupted when his father came on stage and got their attention."Attention to all the beautiful beauties and gentlemen attending this occasion. I am very grateful to all of you for attending the twenty-fifth birthday of our unica
while there was no one inside Hera's room, Bon went inside and carefully closed the door so that he wouldn't wake the girl from her nap.He also slowly walked his feet closer to Hera and then he stopped in front of her while observing her damaged body because of the accident that happened to her.Tears almost dripped from the corner of his eyes, especially when he looked up at the young woman's face, which was currently wrapped in a white bandage."I'm sorry if I failed you and didn't protect you. But I'll make sure that person pays for what he did to you," he said softly but firmly in his mouth while clenching his two fists.The girl's index finger on her left hand seemed to move and Bon noticed it immediately, so he suddenly became quiet and looked at the girl's face. He knew that Hera heard what he said and it was as if he wanted to tell him something that he couldn't say right now in front of the young man."Ms. Hera," he knelt in front of her and took her hand."Can you hear me?
after Bon parked his car in the parking lot, he hurriedly took the elevator."Wait a minute!" it was just about to close, but fortunately he still managed to catch it."Thank you," he said when he got inside and pressed the number button on the side. He was almost restless and kept looking at his watch. Until his attention was aroused by a mysterious person behind him. Only the two of them were inside the elevator and he noticed in the reflection that in front of him was the person standing behind him watching him. He watched her from head to toe, back. He was wearing black joggers, nike rubber shoes and a black hoody jacket with his face covered.He could not identify his appearance because of the hoody jacket covering his head and face. But he was sure that he was staring at him and it looked like he was planning something dark. He looked down at his arms, he also noticed that his two hands were inside the jogger and it looked like he was hiding something.Bon didn't make it obvious
Bon waited for more than two hours, outside Hera's room. He was restless and kept walking, holding his forehead with one hand.Owen followed his gaze and let out a deep breath."Could you, Bon? Sit down for a moment and calm down. I'm the one who's getting dizzy with all that you're doing," he told her. The young man stopped walking for a moment and turned to him with both hands clasped together."Owen, tell me. Don't you notice anything strange? Or maybe someone else entered his room?" he asked while Owen shook his head and narrowed his eyes."Strange? Nothing. Why?" it quickly responded to him."Are you sure? You didn't notice anything unusual?" Owen took a while to respond to him and seemed to be thinking deeply."Hey, Owen? can you hear me? are you listening to me?" he asked his friend again. The mischievous young man suddenly came to his senses when he heard the mention of his name. He looked at her again and stood in front of her. Bon followed him with a look of surprise on his
"I'll take care of her." Adante said to Bon, when he heard what the two were talking about.The young man did not immediately respond to him and just followed him as he walked, towards Hera's room. But he immediately stopped walking as Bon put his arm around one of his shoulders and looked at him warily.What is the problem with one? He also had the courage to stop me, even though he was just a lowly private bodyguard. Sailing through Adante's mind as he stared into Bon's eyes."Don't you ever dare to do something stupid with him. Because you know what your life is about," he said softly to him, but he just grinned and pushed away his hand that was holding his shoulder.What did he say? I know the future of my life? wow! So, did he think he would scare me with what he was saying?He's funny! Adante whispered in his mind, after he removed his hand that was holding her shoulder and then he went inside Hera's room.When he got inside, the two of them happened to meet the doctor and he wa
more than six months have passed since Bon left and suddenly disappeared. Adante is the only one who takes care of Hera and now she is able to move her body little by little, but her eyes are still blindfolded with a white bandage.He can sit now and little by little he is able to walk again because of the young man's help and his constant support for him."Say ahh." Adante was currently sitting in front of Hera, while she was sitting on her bed. He tries her with a spoonful of crab soup, but the girl rejects him."Stop it, you don't have to be nice to me now. I know there's no one around us, so you can stop acting." What he was saying to him was weak but meaningful. A mischievous smile appeared on the young man's lips and he momentarily let go of the spoon he was holding."Are you still mad at me until now? What did I do wrong to you, Hera?" he said, as he just bowed his head and looked at a bowl of crab soup resting on his lap."Sin? many." It was a short response to him. Adante rai
"Why did you help me?" I asked Adante before, after he saved my life from the brink of death. He took me to a remote place, to an island. Where the police are unlikely to track or even follow me.He just sat quietly in front of me while he treated the wound I got from the back of my thigh. Fortunately, it didn't go too deep, so he removed it immediately and covered it with a white bandage."There, it's over!" he said as he stood up. I sat up slowly from the position I was in earlier because I didn't want to fall down and the bullet might go deeper from the inside.I followed him with a look of surprise on my face. I also watched him all the time from head to toe, back.It cannot be denied that he has the looks and is really attractive at first glance. However, he's not my type of guy. I once fell in love with a young man, but the end of our love affair was sad.He died while saving my life and since then I have never fallen in love with another man again. For me, he is still my first
"Let me know after a week. Keep a close eye on Gwen and if possible follow her wherever she goes in the world." The last word I heard from Adante, before I separated from him and followed what he ordered me to do.I met him on a street, when I was being chased by the police. The job I have is too dangerous because my own life depends on it, many starving children depend on me and wait for my arrival.I grew up on the streets, with badjaos and beggars. But when I made up my mind, I used my own skills and intelligence. I have never experienced studying in a good school. Everything I learned only on the street or road.I used to watch and listen to the students. Little by little I will teach myself and I will learn things that I don't know yet.Using the knowledge I have, I share and teach it to the children I meet on the street.I don't want them to grow up ignorant and ignorant of the reality of the world. I know the feeling of being ignorant and belittled by other people. It's not bec
"It's you, what do you need and you came to my office?" Adante treats his wife Hera gently, while their housekeeper Susie is with her and brings tea for her."I brought you some tea, maybe it will help you to lighten your mood." Hera said to him in a modest voice. Adante stood up and approached him."It's me," he said to Manang Susie and took the white cup he was holding from the old man's hand, at the same time he put it down slowly on his table."Can you leave the two of us for now? I'll take care of taking him to the room." He even connected with the old maid. Manang Susie just smiled at him and left the couple inside the office. Adante closed the door and looked at his wife again.Because his mind is not in the condition right now. He thinks about many problems and what he discovers from Sabrina adds to that. So he let out a deep breath, before he approached his wife and hugged him from behind.Hera's eyes widened in shock when she felt her husband's arms around her waist. He didn
Hera and Adante are currently at the reception, as they greet each guest who attended their wedding. Businessmen and big names in the field of industry attended that evening. Hera was on his arm and slowly supporting him to walk."Glad you came and you didn't abandon the reception, otherwise it would have been embarrassing for the guests. What will they think if-" the lady could not continue what she was saying when Adante stopped her from speaking."Mom!" weak but mixed with emphasis in his pronunciation. Adante's father came to them and happily congratulated the newlyweds."You two are perfect for each other. If your parents are still alive, I'm sure they'll tell you the same thing." What the gentleman said to his daughter's wife, Hera. The girl raised her voice so that she just smiled on her lips."By the way, how is he?" the lady suddenly mentioned about her personal bodyguard, Bon, who is currently confined to the hospital and is still unconscious. The smile on the girl's lips di
Hera and Adante entered their home hand in hand. Hera was still a bit of a change, because she hadn't memorized much of their newly built mansion. With its size and breadth, five families can fit, but since only the two of them live there, it can be considered like a palace to them.They also have some maids and watchmen. There are also some expensive equipment in the whole corner of their house, some of which were gifted at their wedding and even came from different countries. The two of them have almost everything and only noisy children are missing to be considered a family.The servants there and the gardener immediately greeted them, while they lined up and seemed to be really looking forward to their arrival."Welcome, Ma'am Hera and Sir. Adante. We are happy to serve you and congratulations to you both." Said Susie's brother, the one who is building all the assistants and managers in their mansion."Thank you very much, Susie. By the way, honey. She's Susie or Susie, but you ca
"Gwen?" Adante said softly on his lips, after he discovered that the girl Gwen was the patient in the ambulance he followed.He immediately got down and got out of his car as he followed the nurse's who were supporting the girl. They immediately rushed him to the E.R or emergency room. The young man was just hiding on one side and simply peeking into the room he entered. Looking around him until they saw a male doctor who had been watching him from a distance.He quickly looked away and turned away from her. Covering his own face with both hands and simply walking away from him. When he suddenly called her and approached her."Excuse me!" the voice he heard from the doctor, so he just froze and stopped walking.Heist. What does he need from me? can't he just kiss me? Adante sailed from his mind.The young doctor walked up to him and faced him face to face. He looked at her from head to toe, back before he spoke again."You are Mr. Adante Kier Bautista, right?" it pointed to him with a
"You may kiss your bride." The church was filled with shouts and applause. I almost pinch myself just trying to be happy. I want to push him away and avoid those lips of his, but what can I do? I am blind, unable to run or even escape because I cannot see those around me. That's why instead of retreating I just listened.We are leaving the church now. I was on one of his arms while the people we passed greeted us."Congratulations.""Congratulations to both of you!""Congratulations, Mr. Bautista."Successive greetings to him and to me. But my mouth is closed and a bitter smile on my lips."I'm so happy for you, hijo. Finally, I found the perfect woman for you." We stopped walking for a while when his mom approached him. I don't know how I will react in those moments. I felt like I was going to vomit or feel dizzy when he said that.But on the other hand, he was right. I'm a perfect woman and I don't deserve this man by my side. He has qualities that I like but that doesn't mean he is
before everything happened i already received a message from Bon. I'm still worried about him and I don't know where in the world he went. He just left a message from my personal nurse and I didn't think she was his best friend.The question that was bothering my mind was also answered. I now understand why she called my name formally and not like other nurses in the hospital.."I'm Wihelmina, Ms. Hera. It's just mine, for short." He introduced me.At that time I was still in the hospital. Adante and I have not gotten along very well yet and he rarely visits me.I was sitting in a wheel chair facing the open window and feeling the cold wind blowing."Who are you really? I know someone sent you here to watch my every move am I right?" I pointed at him weakly while closing my eyes.I heard him grin and step closer to me."That's where you're wrong. I'm too weak and fragile, to be your guardian. The truth is, I'm Bon's friend. He's my best friend." He said softly with a smile on his lips
The young man, Adante, has been discharged from the hospital, but he still visits Hera in her room every day, causing them to bond with each other.Little by little, he is getting the girl's trust and will. It seems that the hard and stone-hearted Hera has been tamed by a mischievous young man and romantic Adante.Although the girl is still often pushing him and yelling at him, he just tolerates her and thinks about her well-being. But what he didn't know was that it was just the girl's way of not letting him know the shame and trepidation he felt every time he heard her voice.After more than a year, Hera was able to return home and return to the former mansion where they stayed when her parents were still alive.He is still changing and he is not very skilled, so he has lost the ability to see and he only uses a metal-stick as a stick everywhere he passes.Adante is still always there for him and he doesn't leave his side, especially when the two of them go out.The inside of the ma
