“ALRIGHT, who’s next?”

Adriella excitedly asks, handing the microphone and expecting someone to sing in front. It is a first for Cath to see, but she is relieved knowing that she could relax now that Adriella is in her best mood.

“Do not look at me.”

Jun immediately turns Lindsey down before she could ask him. Not because he is one serious detective who doesn’t know how to have fun, but because he just doesn’t care about singing and anything to do about it at all.

“Tsk!” Lindsey clicks her tongue in dismay, then looks at Nadia who looks back at her while eating some strawberry cheesecake.

“Never mind.”

She gave up the thought, knowing that putting Nadia with Jun through a song is not a good idea. Searching for prey, she heard her niece's voice.

“Daddy, mommy, why don’t you two sings for us?”

Monique’s request put a smile on Lindsey’s face. Cath initially wanted to reject casually, but Nadia and Lindsey are thinking otherwise. The two are currently looking at each other with the s

    “IS that even necessary?”Adriella a bit protested after that not-so-surprising kiss that Sam did. “Don’t be like that mom, just let them enjoy the moment. Besides, Cath won your two challenges already.”Lindsey reminded Adriella with that knowing smile that Adriella knew that her daughter had something to do with why. Giving those tips that are not unknown to her, and which she also doesn’t want to pry on Lindsey. “Fine.”She gave up, but that only moment, which Lindsey even more excitedly giggles. “I will just be outside for a moment.”Jun suddenly excuses himself. Nadia knew why. Letting him, Nadia couldn’t help but be down and a bit jealous. Think that Jun is affected by what just happened, and Sam kissing Cath in front of them. “Nadia.”Lindsey whispers, calling Nadia’s attention which Nadia immediately recognizes. “What?”They both started talking in a whisper and more with their facial expression that their little click only knew what it all means. “Go.”Lindsey moves her

    HEEDING Lindsey’s facility rather than a request. Nadia ends up following Jun, composing herself and immediately. Being herself and that bit nosy one that the detective knew about her. “Is everything alright?”The standard question that everyone would ask in times like this. Which admittingly Lindsey got from all the romantic movies and romantic-comedy ones that she benches watching while she is stressed from work or her personal life.“What’s with the question?”Jun immediately got her, which is not that difficult knowing her and being a detective himself. “Nothing.” Nadia nudges it and acts a bit fidgety, but still in her usual demeanor. “Nothing. It’s just that—”“I knew it.”Jun immediately cut her, chuckling and giving the fact that he knew all along what she is thinking. “I am fine, I just need some air that’s all.”‘HE’S LYING'. The words pop immediately inside Nadia’s mind. For she is more than sure enough that Jun is not being true to his feelings from that very point. A

    WITH the facts, details, and pieces of evidence that they got so far regarding Francis and his grand scheme. Cath is bothered by one thing, the other invitation that she got the other day which she needed to act upon and fast. “But first things first.”She immediately added with the expression that Nadia and Jun knew that it could be or it is both troubles or not. “Is there something more?”Jun immediately asks, worried and much more eager to know what Cath is about to say. Knowing that it can help them or not one way or another. His worried tone and expression that Nadia isn’t fond of seeing from him. With that lingering jealousy that she knew she doesn’t have the right to have. “More if you will say so.” Cath immediately agrees in a certain way that worried and at the same time intrigued Jun even more. “I got this just yesterday.”She immediately hands the invitation that she got from the group of men with suits that somehow are high profile guards of someone powerful, but she k

    “AND you are all set.”Nadia confidently smiles, knowing that this will be an easy task for Cath. For the journalist who once turns into a detective, and build her career from scratch, Sam had no idea what became of Cath after all those years. “Wish me luck.”Cath smiles with a wink of confidence that Nadia approves, but says the opposite. “You do not need such luck and you know that.”A bit of dissing, yet Cath is all used to such from her. Cath immediately went their way according to plan. Leaving the mansion with the two of them with the reasoning of revisiting some places and having a girl’s day out that Sam didn’t think of much. “They left the mansion in time, and I am currently tailing the car that they are in, Sir.”Or is it?“Good. Continue doing so and inform every thirty minutes.”He cut the call immediately. The moment when a knock is heard on his office door and he let his secretary in. “Come in.”With a few documents at hand, Brian fixed his glasses and looked at the

    “AS you guess it! Well, it's the pattern that every businessman does when it comes to their rival in business. CEO Samuel Lawrence is digging everything up about you.”With a confident smile and eyes that screams that he had the upper hand in the game that he started. Targeting one person to take everything including the girl. A sinister smile draws on his face, while looking at the city from his office glass wall, he smirks at the words that follow. “Let him be, and let's see if he will find out who am I. In that way maybe he will remember who I am.”Marks with the vengeance that his rival will never see it coming. His smile is making that fact known, that everything will not end until he is satisfied with his revenge. “By the way, I already collected everything of the information that you needed. Down from the smallest little detail. Samuel Lawrence's dirt, tricks, past, and schemes.”The proud smile of his business partner and more like someone who is more than dedicated to seei

    “LINDSEY—”“Shhh!”Lindsey immediately hushes her husband Harry for disturbing her on her investigation regarding the person who happens to save Cath during one of the challenges that Adriella gave. “Why are you so invested in that? For all we know, he is just a random guy who happened to be there at the right time and help Cath.”Harry’s reason and deduction. Convincing Lindsey to stop investigating someone and invading their privacy might put her in trouble in the end. “I do not think so.”Lindsey insist and had a little bit to engross with that stuff for a while. Wherein Harry was able to pull her out of it from last night’s celebration. “Aren’t you too invested in your brother’s life?”Harry pointed the fact out that Lindsey even proudly agrees with it. “You know what happened to Sam when his marriage fails. I do not want to see him like that ever again.”Her firm resolve and the reason why she is both on the side of her older brother and best friend. Kept their secrets from e

    “ONE way or another, I will find who you are.”Lindsey’s words and determination. More than the person who is in the situation, she immediately drives her car to the place where the orphanage is. Hitting the gas, she speeds up to get to the said place and fast. “Yes, Lindsey Lawrence speaking.”She immediately accepts the call through her Bluetooth headset and receives the words from her stepmother Adriella. “Mom.”A bit alerted, for she didn’t expect Adriella to call her at this time. Especially since Adriella knew that she is currently in the office of their construction company together with Harry.“You called?”She calms herself, thinking of the perfect reason to tell her. “Where are you?” Adriella’s voice from the other end of the call. “I called Harry’s secretary thinking that you two are together, but he informs me that neither one of you went to the office.”Adriella’s suspicion and sharp intuition Lindsey admits is a disadvantage in this situation. Especially she assures h

    “I SEE. Sorry to bother your meeting with your team. By the way, call me when you are done with your work. We still need to prepare for the Governor’s party.”With the assurance that she heard from Sam and the fact that Harry is with him along with Brian. She is left with assurance and confidence in that fact. The thing that remains now is the urgency to show herself in front of her future daughter-in-law.“Let’s see how you will handle things, Catherine Wayne.”Now looking at the information that is not that hard for her to dig and find out. He clicks her tongue and smiles knowingly, taking all her plans to a halt and even changing since the woman that her son choose is someone that is more than meets the eye. “A journalist, a nanny, and my son’s woman. Which one is the real you? Or perhaps none of those things, Catherine?”With a threatening voice and a disappointed look. She throws the folder that contains all the information that she had, sliding it on top of her table and showin

    “HOW long has it been since then, Leo?”The expected meeting, but the unexpected expression and tone that is in a mix of disappointment and anger that Cath is showing right in front of him. Left alone in the headmistress office and at first glance they are seem to share a casual tea time. He looks down, not in shame, but a bit of worry from how things unfolded. Which makes him think if he is regretting his decision of giving Cath a clue about the past.“Or should I call you now with your known name, Aaron?”“Tell me, do you hate me that much after what you have learn, Cath?”“Hate you? Why should I? You didn’t do anything to me which needed me to resent you. Instead I am the one who should be asking you of that question, for I failed to recognize my old friend.”Old friend. The words that means more than the shallow meaning of it. Words that will disappoint anyone, for it means more than just a rejection, but a total abandonment towards someone who only thinks about one person and dea

    MORE than being stripped of everything that he had, Harry is slapped with the truth and faces the wrath of Adriella in her calm demeanor whom everyone knows that it is worse than a tyrant in that kind of mood. “You do not need to explain anything to me but sign the divorce papers, right now.”“I-I…”Definitely shaking within his wits, Harry couldn’t even utter a single word nor look at the face of his mother-in-law worst towards Lindsey whose expression is indistinguishable for lacking nothing to see. Worst with the atmosphere in the room that is getting heavy and dreadful upon their conversation that a while back is going smoothly and just like always. Only to be struck by the divorce papers and the secret that Harry is been hiding for almost a month now. “I stayed quiet and compose for the sake of Lindsey. But since it all comes to this and the fact that you are caught red-handed. There is no need for further discussion.”“But I… I only did it once, or maybe twice or thrice, but t

    “WILL this be alright?”Lindsey’s worry and her thoughts about what Sam decided upon after what happened. Hiding the fact that they were kidnaped. Letting Jun handle the rest with the pieces of evidence at hand and the new ones that were suddenly sent to them just a while back. With all of them know that it was from Beatrice, leaving Francis in the air and saving herself. “This is better and the appropriate thing that we should all do.”Cath seconded, forcing everyone to have this talk and all from Sam’s protest. With her injuries and critical state in the first few hours after they are saved. Luckily Cole wasn’t hurt in any way nor the child is traumatized. But make sure, Sam sends his son to the psychiatrist, and is currently under the care of Adriella.

    DAMN alive and still breathing despite his injuries and the gunshot that he just receives from Aaron a while back. Francis stands before Cath, with his gun up a bit shaking from his wound, but directly pointing it towards her. “I may stupidly fail at first, but this time I will not fail to end your life. You who put me behind bars, Catherine Wayne.”“Cath!”Two familiar voices echo in the air, but before Cath could look and see for herself who could those two people be? Francis fired his gun, missing Cath’s vital spot from his shaking hand due to his injuries. Yet still, inflict Cath with another injury and a gunshot to her left arm. Stumbling backward made her lose her footing and leads her to fall to the cliff.“Damn! Just die!”Two gunshot echoes, now directly to Francis's legs leaving him impaired and down helpless. “You cannot save her, she is gone! You failed to save your girl, Samuel Lawrence!”Consumed with anger, Sam clenches his hands tight, yet he didn’t blow up on Franci

    STARTLED and quickly stops in her tracks, now standing and still. Lindsey instructed Cole to close his eyes and cover his ears. Do not let go no matter what happens and wait for her to say so. “Do you understand, Cole?”“Alright, aunt Lindsey.”The little boy replied and quickly borrow his face to Lindsey’s chest. Being an obedient child, Lindsey could feel the fear of her nephew with Cole’s shaking body and cold hands. “Stop, or find yourself swimming in your blood.”More than a familiar voice and the only person right now that Lindsey could think of who. She slowly looks back and is not surprised to see the Governor, no, Francis, pointing a gun right in front of her and with a cursing look on his face. “Just how low could you go for doing this to our family? Are you desperate to establish your dominance over us that you are going this far for your selfish desire?”“Low? Who, me? Tsk! Do not make me laugh Miss. Lindsey Lawrence.”Their exchange made it clear and more than to Linds

    TRAIL OF BLOOD is visible from near. Cath’s breath is heavy and her sweat is dripping from her forehead. She’s easing the pain from the gunshot wound that she got to her left arm and right leg. Dragging her heavy body and following the path that she instructed Lindsey at first if anything might happen and they needed to separate. “Tsk!”She clicks her tongue in anger and irritation. Tired and has been losing a lot of blood after she fought and struggled against Ivy. Now holding the gun that almost took her just a while back. “CATHERINE WAYNE!”The name, her name that Ivy screams in anger at the last second when she pulled the trigger and put a hole in its forehead. Ending a nightmare that she took within her hand and fails to put her back behind bars. “Almost. Just how many it is right now?”Suddenly reminisced and the similar danger that she took and choose for her career and passion. She chuckles and a bit rested behind a large tree. Ripping her bolero and tying it around her leg

    GUN shots can be heard from a distance and back. The exchange and the loud crash with the blow of a bomb shake the ground for a few seconds. Holding on to a tree while tightly holding Lindsey’s hand with her right one, Cath held her ground looks back when Lindsey screams in surprise at what just happened. Starling Cole awake, that worried Cath even more than she is under a lot of stress right now. “Lindsey, are you alright?” “I am. I am just startled.” “Mom? Mommy?” “Cole.” They both immediately coax the child back to sleep. Lindsey covered Cole’s ears while hugging the little boy tight into her arms. “Mommy, aunt Lindsey, what is happening?” “Don’t worry Cole, that was just nothing, just go back to sleep.” Relieved that the little boy is still sleepy and that it didn’t give them the hard time to coaxing it back to sleep.
