2024-10-29 19:42:56The minute I get the news, I freeze on the ground.
This is just way too much to bear.
Blood oozes down my thighs right that moment, and I feel an excruciating pain hit my lower abdomen. The pain is tremendous and I almost stumble on the ground when Ramon grips me tightly. I feel dizzy and my head is spinning around. I can't see clearly. Everything is blurry and vague.
"Doctor!!!"
Ramon yelps for help as he swiftly sweeps me off my feet. I am feeling light-headed and the pain in my lower abdomen is worsening. The dizziness overwhelms me and before I know it, everything goes black and blank.
Darkness...

I wake up in hospital.
It is dark outside and I am in a hideous, hospital gown.
Ramon is seated beside me, holding on to my hand gently.
Relief washes through his face w

RAMON'S POV****A few weeks earlier****I watch as Camilla cries, my heart breaking into pieces.I hate seeing her in this condition. Her heartbreaking means my heartbreaking too. I pull her into my arms and lay her head on my chest.Being here is the only thing I can do as we pray that her mom makes it through this.Who would have done something so despicable?I mean, Andrew is dead. Terrence is dead.So, who could have shot her mom? Who could be after her life?I'm just so confused. I don't know where to start in this case. Because, unlike other cases, in this one, there are completely no suspects.My phone rings.An unknown number.I let go of Camilla to answer the call.

"Where is Daddy?"Roy asks that morning as I get him ready for school. I knew this question would come sooner than later. He has been asking that since yesterday after Ramon got arrested."He is gone."He frowns for a second then beams. "Will he be back?"I fake a smile and lie. "Yes.""Tell him to bring me more toys!!!"He shrieks in delight and for a moment there, I feel like tearing up.I glance away and reach for his bag.Why would Ramon do this to me again? Why would he kill my dad and then kill my mom? I wonder what story he has to cook up this time to make me believe him.I hang the bag on his back and take his hand."Time to go to school, Roy.""Did you hear me, Mommy?"Roy asks as we head towards the door."What?""Please tell Daddy to bring me more toys when he comes back...""I will..."My son can be really persistent at times.

Well, it's not like I killed them but they deserved to die.So, today my brother thinks he can kill me and take everything away from me?Just like that? God! He thinks it's that simple?

My heart pounds hard against my chest.My dad?Is this really him?My mind must be playing tricks on me!He's dead! He's a ghost!No!But he can't be a ghost. He is sitting right there on my couch. Between two men in black leather jackets, cigarettes dancing between the fingers."Hi princess..."It's my dad!My dead dad!Long after he died, I wished this would happen. That he would come back to me and Mom. And we would live happily ever after! But now that he is sitting a few feet away from me, I am swimming in confusion and shock.

ERIC'S POVI wake up in the middle of the night.I can hear strange voices...Whispers...Footsteps...Tiptoes on the floor...The room is very dark. It's just the dim light of the moon gleaming inside. Swiftly, I switch on the lamp, bathing the room in light.The voices stop.The footsteps stop. The whispers stop.But there is just something strange. Something eerie...I feel it in my gut that something is definitely amiss.I climb off the bed and walk to the door.I switch on the lights. I take the stairs and dash to the kitchen to get a glass of water.That eerie feeling still tugs at me. I can't put my finger on it, but something is definitely wrong...After a refreshing, cold gl

CAMILLA'S POVIt has been two weeks.I have woken up every single day praying that I find a way to get out of this damned place. This fucking hell hole.I don't even know where I am.The only thing that I know is that I am locked up in a huge mansion that is modern and well-furnished. There are a couple of eerily quiet maids, who by the way, don't talk to me even when I greet them. I guess my dad warned them not to talk to me.But what annoys me is the two men that follow me around and stay right outside my bedroom door. I wonder if these men ever fall asleep. They are like robots. They don't sleep. They don't talk. The day they will ever make a mistake to fall asleep, that is the day that my dad will kill them because I will escape with my son.Roy has been enrolled to a new school.The kid does not know what is go
THE RETURN -Chapter Forty Six-
"This is Solidad."Dad is smiling sappily at the pretty, young Latina woman sitting right next to him.From my observation, she looks my age. I wonder why Dad would be dating such a young woman.She keeps smiling at me but I don't smile back. I know these types of women. Gold diggers who use their pretty faces and big asses to get money from older men. It's not like I care if she steals from Dad anyways. I would laugh in his face if karma served him such a hot dish."So, Camilla... I have heard a lot about you," she says with that wide smile.This girl must be a smiling machine."Well, he hasn't told me a single thing about you..."Solidad gasps. "Ouch!"Dad smiles at her."I wanted it to be a surprise to my family. It's been a long time since I brought a woman home..." He suddenly frown
THE RETURN -Chapter Forty Seven-
Solidad is pointing a gun directly at Dad.Dad's face is contorted with fury and terror, like he can't believe she just betrayed him. She's not in the sexy red dress she was wearing a while ago. She's in a black pant suit and her hair tied up in a neat bun. She looks like a serious no-nonsense woman."Detective Marina Santos," she shows him her badge. "Calvin Clarkson, you are under arrest for drug trafficking and the murders of Clara Clarkson and Rupert Green. You are also under arrest for faking your own death."Dad is baffled by the revelation."I have been an undercover detective and I was assigned to you back in Mexico. The Mexico Police wanted proof that you are indeed a drug trafficker. But as I got deeper in your case, I discovered that there was more to you than drug trafficking. Just some few weeks ago, I found out that you faked your own death, killed your ex-wife and Rupert and to make it even worse, you abducted your

THE RETURN -EPILOGUE-
RAMON'S POVI never thought I would fall so hard for Camilla.Before I met her, I just fucked around. Always making sure I don't get attached until the cliche story happened to me.I fell for her.I fell for her the first night I saw her looking like a complete mess. Her hair wet and her clothes all muddy. And despite that, she was still breathtakingly beautiful.I had seen her photos and I knew she was beautiful. But I didn't know she was that beautiful.I guess the hardest thing for a man is not lying to others but lying to himself.At first, I lied to myself that I'm not falling for her. But deep down, I knew I had fallen already. I had fallen so hard. So hard that it was obvious to everyone around me. Flex kept teasing me about it but I kept denying it. Un

A few weeks later,It is a school-award ceremony.Roy and Renny stand at the auditorium.Ramon and I are cheering them on at the top of our voices.Both boys are being awarded. Renny is getting an award for the best solo verse and Roy is receiving an award for the best poem. I am so proud of the two little boys and the work they have done with the pieces.I wish Eric was here to witness his son making him proud. But he had to be in hospital since Karla is getting discharged today.The doctors informed us that Karla was very lucky that the bullets didn't kill her. She was injured severely and bleeding profusely. It is honestly a miracle that she did not die on the spot.Ramon stops clapping for the boys and darts a glance at me.
THE RETURN -Chapter Fifty Two-
"Harder!"I moan at the top of my voice.Ramon thrusts inside me roughly, the king-size bed creaking underneath. He comes down on me stronger and faster with every shot.We both reach climax and he buries his head on my bosom.We are both out of breath, after that moment of complete ecstasy.The doorbell rings.We both groan at the rude, untimely interruption."You get the door!""No, you get the door!""Nope! I went to get it yesterday," I insist. "It's your turn!"He looks at me with those puppy, dark eyes. He looks so stupid and ridiculous that I burst out a laugh."That's so not working!" I chuckle. "It's pathetic.""Fine then.""Good boy!""You are such a bully!" He dresses up quickly, still grumbling. "It sucks living in
THE RETURN -Chapter Fifty One-
It has been three months.Three whole fucking months and Ramon is still in a coma.Eric and Karla are supposed to be married by now but they couldn't go ahead with it because of Ramon's coma. It's like everything kind of stopped.The world around me stopped.The only thing that keeps me going is Roy.He still goes to school but then keeps asking where his dad is. I keep telling him he's gone far away but he will be back soon. But I am left asking myself.Will he ever come back or is it just a lie I'm telling myself?My friends have been there for me in every way possible: Eric, Riana and Karla. They have been there for me emotionally, physically and even financially.Yes, financially.I went bankrupt.My dad was able to put everything he ever gave to me back in his name. Yeah, that's how sick the devil of a man is. And the little money I get is from the book I published and the one that I
THE RETURN -Chapter Fifty-
Ramon is in hospital.He was rushed to the hospital last night after the shooting.He hasn't woken up since then but at least there's good news. The guy that shot him was caught and confessed he was sent by my dad. It all made sense why Dad threatened me when I went to see him. But I don't get why he would put me through all this pain if he really loves me...It just doesn't make sense...The bad news is that Ramon hasn't woken up since. And I'm afraid he won't since the doctors haven't said a single word. That scares the shit out of me.I haven't had Ramon for the last five years and now losing him forever is like a dreadful nightmare. God! Please don't let that happen! When I lose him this time, it won't be only me that gets affected but also our son, Roy. He has grown too attached to him to lose him now...And, how will I start explaining that he is gone? This time forever?I am even tired of
THE RETURN -Chapter Forty Nine-
Ramon and Roy went to the mall a couple of hours ago but still haven't returned.I'm sure they are having so much fun together. They didn't want me to tagging along.They claimed it's a boys' affair and that I was not welcome. Can you imagine! So sexist!I am in the kitchen, making dinner. I hope by the time they are here, I will be done.The doorbell rings.That's odd.I was not expecting anyone at this time.I open the door, only to see Eric standing at the doorstep looking anxious and nervous. I welcome him and proceed to the kitchen where he follows me.Eric, being the good guy, doesn't sit down. He helps with slicing the onions and the tomatoes. I can clearly see his hands are kind of shaky."Eric, are you okay?" I ask him."I am fine... Just a little anxious...""Why?"He sighs and stops to look at me."Because I want to propose to Karla..."
THE RETURN -Chapter Forty Eight-
Ramon holds my hand as we get into the restaurant.The feeling is surreal. I just can't believe I am in his arms again. And this time, it's forever.It's been a week since I came back. You don't know how happy Ramon was to see me. He held on tight to me for thirty minutes straight. Being in his arms again was overwhelming. I couldn't believe it was happening. I thought I had lost him forever this time.Ramon couldn't believe that my dad has been alive all this time. But he was relieved that he didn't kill my dad that night and now his conscience is clean. I expected him to be very angry at me but the funny thing, he was so overwhelmed to see me that he even cried in front of everyone. That was very emotional and I found myself crying too.Karla and Eric started awwed at us as we embraced.So Eric is the hero in this story. When he found out I was missing, he knew Ramon would be able to help find me faster. So he paid one of the of
