Clarice"Come on, Mom, you have to tell me why you are helping this creep who disappeared with his daughter." - Once again I was demanding from my mother some explanation as to why she is helping Parkinson, he was very strange and full of secrets to me, to say the least."I already told you, Clarice. We've been friends for years and…""And that's why you could ask him what happened to Louise, I was the only friend she had, Mom. Do you think I look like this on the inside? I haven't seen or heard from her in over two months. Meanwhile that bastard is stuffing his face with booze and placing bets, that's all he knows how to do.""That's enough, Clarice. You are going too far. This is not the education I gave you.""Not at all. You brought me up very well so that I would never mess with people like that rascal Parkinson. Now, if you want to come and act like a goody two-shoes, I'm sorry, but this side of you doesn't work anymore." Look at what a guy is managing to destroy, the friendshi
Emma "Can you believe that everyone already knew and never said anything? Even my daughter-in-law already knew…" - I said indignantly, feeling like a fool. - "Lucius, what did I do wrong?""You did nothing wrong, my love. Young people are smarter to figure things out, but do you think this is bad?""Are you calling me old? Because if so, Lucius." - I leaned my face against his chest and sighed. - "I love you so much, my love. But I don't want to involve you in my problems."Regardless of anything that has ever happened, Lucius has always stood by me. We met in a disco when we were still young, I was not married to Mauricio's father and nothing like that had happened, today I do not regret marrying another man, because God blessed me with Mauricio as a son, but I feel like a complete idiot when I realize that I have lost a man as wonderful as this one. I have loved Lucius since always, I got married when he left and I felt too much of a fool, but after I came to live in Los Angeles, w
ParkinsonClarice's sober look at me whenever she sees me makes me uncomfortable, I don't know what happened between Clarice and Reuben, but for her own personal reasons, Clarice isn't coming here anymore. She has the same personality as Louise.Louise, it delights me to know that even though they were raised apart and don't know the truth, the two are so similar. "I'm going out, I hope you won't give me a hard time when I get back. Or better yet, don't leave until I get back, you know that if the owner asks for this house because of you, I don't know where I'm going, so I'm going to break your balls.""Why so violent, Reuben? I'm not leaving here, okay? But ask your daughter if she knows anything about Louise. I need to know about our daughter!""Your daughter, Parkinson. Have you forgotten that I didn't want that child and I only didn't abort it because you asked me to? So I don't have to lie to you by saying that I miss what I didn't experience, because I don't. - Reubia had coldn
ClariceI had never traveled by air before and this was the first time. I felt the chill run through my body and for a second I didn't feel it, Roberto was too relaxed, as if this was already part of his routine. When I arrived I was welcomed by a guy named Jason, his aunt was not at home and so it was not possible to see her. "What time is she coming? I find it strange to say the least to stay in the house of someone I don't know. So…""Like what? I already told you that you're family now, besides you'll see what a nice person Emma is.""You speak with such conviction that I believe and trust you, but what if she doesn't like me?" - I kept harping on about my belief that I was not confident that his mother would really like me. My mother always told me that I talked too much and that was a point that people hated, I didn't judge her, but even though I never said anything I didn't agree with what she said, I thought I was very quiet actually. "Are you dating her or me? And where is
Louise It was impossible to hold back the tears. I have no idea why, but I feel an enormous affinity for Clarice, it's as if we think alike and I like that. "With my hand over my mouth I was speechless and everyone was looking at me. Emma smiled spontaneously and Clarice kept hugging me." - I don't even know what to say. "My God, you crazy woman, what are you doing here? You accept invitations from strangers, but you've never accepted an invitation from me to have fun." - She was still talking, she really hasn't changed a bit. "My life has suddenly changed, look at that." - I showed her the engagement ring. - "Can you believe I'm getting married?" - I looked at Mauricio, who was looking like a fool, all dull. "You're crazier than I thought you were. But I am happy to see that you are well and happy." - We hugged, and I sat down, and so did she. "I'm also very happy to see you. You almost killed my heart, be aware of that. So, you mean that you two are together? How come I neve
Clarice What was supposed to be a happy evening turned out to be sad. I felt sad to see Louise come in wet and crying, I have no idea why, but it hurt me to see her like that. "I guess I didn't come at a good time. I should have warned you before…""There's nothing wrong with you, Louise is in a delicate moment and I'm sure you can help her. Have you known each other long?" - The young lady Emma asked as if everything was going well."In theory yes! We had been neighbors for about six years, but I got in touch with her after she recovered from her burns and went to work in the cafeteria, then I joined and we became close. But then she suddenly disappeared and everything went crazy and now I see her here?""Yes... in the meantime a lot of things happened. But nothing that hasn't been resolved. Louise just needs time and friends, and I think you can help her. She needs to go out, visit new places and I don't have much time for that, could you help me?" "Of course! I'll do my best. Yo
Maurício "His eyes glazed over at me, cursed as he looked at me standing holding a bladed weapon in his fists, the same one that just asked some of his organs. He was in a pool, drowning in his own blood, while Emma was a distraught woman sitting in the corner of the wall with both hands holding Roberto and covering his face, preventing him from looking at that beautiful scene. I don't regret having murdered my father, I would do it again if I had to. As long as my mother lives, I will always honor her, no matter what.""You naughty boy. I will come back and make your life a living hell, my dear son." - He was wielding a knife and coming towards me. "Emma..." I screamed, feeling my throat lock up, as if I was suffocating to death. My body went into spasms, causing it to miss upwards, without me wanting it to."Louise I wasn't getting any sleep, as I watched Mauricio sleep, I was reading a book and going over some things to import early tomorrow morning. But, a muffled scream from
A few days later... Norely "From the moment my son was reported missing, I knew that Maurício had something to do with it all. Did you know something, Alícia?" - When I ask, I see her expression change to fear. "Of course not, I'm worried about him too, Norely!" "James is dead, Alicia. You already knew that. Do you really think you can fool me?" "With her eyes filled with tears she sat down in the chair in front of me and put both hands on her head.""I want you to monitor Mauricio's every move and if you get the chance, execute Emma as soon as possible. You've already spent the money and not done the job I paid for! If you help me you'll get a lot more money where that came from, all that's left is for you to want it and do things right." "I confess it's a tempting offer, but I can't accept it, Norely. I don't want to get into trouble because of your son, we all know he was no good. Besides, I can give you your money back as soon as I get the part I've already spent." - Was the
