"You are the worst thing that happened to me. I am sure you will soon add Jonathan to the list of people who have to pay for your stupid mistake," she added looking at him behind the wheel.Mr Garcia remained silent behind the wheel as he drove towards home."You are a disgrace. I regret the day I stood on the altar and said I do to you. My life would have been better off without you. I wish you never fathered Jonathan and Camila. You good for nothing piece of shit," she cursed, yelling at him at the top of her voice."I am sure your parents are turning in their graves cursing the day you were born," she said and the car came to an abrupt stop almost throwing her off if not for the seat belt."Enough woman. Nineteen years and you still throw the same thing up my face. How long are you going to bring that up anytime something bad happens? Camila pooped in her diaper and it was because I slept with the maid, Jonathan broke his leg at a football game and is my fault because I slept with
Isabella tried calling Camila's phone one more time on her way to the station and this time it went through. She found a place and parked the car waiting for the phone to be answered "Hello Camila," she said as soon as the call was answered. "Hmm," came the voice from the other end of the phone."Camila, are you alright? Your parents are worried sick about you. They even went to the police station to file a missing person's report. Where are you?" she said and the call was disconnected. "Camila," she called her name but heard the disconnection tone.She tried calling again and it went through but no answer. She tried again and it went to voicemail. "Why will Camila do that?" she thought and put the car into motion heading for the police station Mrs Garcia had mentioned to her. At the police station, Mr. and Mrs. Garcia were with Inspector Davis answering some questions about their daughter"Okay, just to make sure I have everything here to begin the search. You said the last time
The man spoke to his wife and left the house with the officers. They sat in his car and they headed for the destination, where he had dropped Camila off four days ago.Meanwhile, Jonathan with the help of some connected friends has also found the location where Camila was dropped off and was already on his way there. He arrived at the location and parked his car a distance away from the apartment which was very visible from where he was. He studied the environment for a while. The environment was serene and aside from one small house sitting on a vast land with a very short fence, all the other houses were far away."Looks like someone bought this land for a project and maybe decided to put this small house on it," he thought and planned on how to go inside without being noticed. There were some planted bushes around the huge compound almost the same height as the fence. Jonathan after slowly getting close to the fence lay down on his belly and and hid himself behind the bushes. He
Dr Chloe typed a message;[You know what to do with the guard outside]She sent it and smiled at the acknowledgement. She drove away from the location.At the hospital, Jonathan and Camila were both sent to the ER. Jonathan was the first to come out with a plaster on his nose bridge. His parents arrived at the hospital and he frowned seeing them."Jonathan, please let's talk about this later. Let's take care of your sister first," Mr Garcia said seeing Jonathan was about to leave the moment they walked in.He stood there with his father holding him but said nothing. He shifted his gaze to his unusually silent mother. "I will wait in the car," he said and headed for the exit."Inspector Davis," Mr Garcia said when he saw Davis walking towards him."Did you find the one who had my daughter?" he asked. "There was no one there. It looks as if they knew we were coming and ran off. The call made by her friend alerted them. But not to worry, we will keep investigating until we find who was
"Perfect. Finally, I will get what I want," she said with a smile as she hugged Ethan and Jacqueline later. She didn't know what Mr Green had in mind for her. "So how was the conference?" Mrs Carter asked once they were all seated in the living room. Jacqueline was sitting next to Ethan with both hands stretched over the back of the sofa. Mrs Carter sat on the sofa adjacent to them. "It was great. Ethan was just amazing. The people learnt a lot from his presentations and they asked good questions indicating they were listening to everything he was saying and were ready to put them to action," Jacqueline replied with a smile while Ethan just stared at her side profile. "Was it all work or was there time to tour the city?" she asked to find out if they were able to spend some time alone. "The schedule was very tight but we had the chance to visit one of their amazing restaurants before returning to New York," Ethan replied and Jacqueline smiled. "Well, it is good to be back hom
"Ethan was with Camila for a night. So if Camila is pregnant, it could be for Ethan," The doctor and Mr Carter frown but before they can react, they hear Olivia scream.They both rushed out of the room and headed for Olivia's. Olivia's scream was followed by a cry. Mr Carter pushed her door open after a knock which was only replied to by Olivia's cries. They found her kneeling on the floor with her hand folded around her belly and crying. Mr Carter got to her side and pulled her up holding both of her shoulders. He hugged her and she cried someone more."What is wrong with her?" Mr Carter mouthed the words to the doctor who was just standing and watching the scene. "Let her calm down first," replied the doctor also mouthing the words."It is okay," Mr Carter said to Olivia. He pulled apart from the hug and looked at her tear-stained face and she lowered her head now sobbing. "What happened?" he asked. Olivia closed her eyes and lifted her head with her face looking up at the ceil
"Please come over to the address I will be sending you," she said and ended the call. "Our daughter had an accident," she reported to her husband and her eyes widened. "How? When? Where?" he asked multiple questions at once. "I don't know but she said she was going to send me an address. We are going to New York," she reported on the verge of tears. "I hope she is okay," he comforted hugging her. Her phone beeped and she quickly checked. It was the address of the hospital. She showed it to her husband and he quickly got on a call making arrangements for them to travel to New York that very day. Back at the Carter's, Ethan was getting ready to leave for work. He was standing in front of the mirror fixing his tie and decided he wanted to move on with his life. Jacqueline seems like a good girl and they are working together so they will have a lot in common unlike he had with Olivia. He combed his hair and picked his jacket heading for the front door. He stepped out of the room and
"Sir, she was found dead in the debris of a construction site but no one knows who came for her body" he replied hesitantly and Ethan lifted his head to look at him."What are you saying?" Ethan asked moving from his relaxing position. "According to an eyewitness, she saw her with a man. From the way they were walking, he didn't suspect anything. He thought they were a couple until he saw the man lead her into the construction site. He suspected a foul play so followed to see what was happening. That was when he saw another man. Both men were masked and they hit her with a stick and left her there. She was lying there in a pool of blood motionless," the guard narrated as he had been told. "So she was murdered," Ethan concluded and pressed his teeth together looking very angry.Despite everything that had gone on, hearing that she was gone his heart shattered into pieces and his soul became sad within him."Get out and find whoever did that to her," he ordered and the guard left imme
