Hendrix.Reeve accompanied me when we arrived at El Puerto. A car was waiting for us. Xavion arranged it. He also contacted the authorities to check the area around. And because it's not yet twenty-four hours, they don't consider it as a missing person. So, we have no choice but to work out independently.The boys will be coming to help. Most of them were at the event, waiting for us, but the party was over. It hasn't even started."Mum, not now, please. I need to find Louise," I answer my mother in the line. She's been calling me non-stop."Look, son. Eddie and Marco are on their way. They might take a while, but they're coming."I sighed, feeling frustrated now. The camera recording shows not much. It did not even capture the face of the person with Louise. The area was quiet, too. They're making sure that they can't be seen. They prepare well for this and damn it. I will make them pay for this."Also, son, Eddie told me that Stephanie actually came back this morning. He doesn't be

Louise Rose."Louise!"My heart lights in that last second before they toss me.I saw Hendrix running towards me. . . Stephanie screamed, and everything flew in the air.Splash!I held my breath quickly, and my hand automatically did the job. But the rope was tightly wrapped around my feet, and the bricks were heavy. I descended quickly at the bottom.I tried kicking, trying to get it out. I jerked my head up, trying to grasp the air. I can only hold my breath for thirty seconds at least. That was my best record when I went swimming with my friends back when I was only sixteen.I hate the waters. I'm scared of it. I can't breathe.Five, four, three, two, one. . .That's it. I can't do it. I can't untie myself. Am I going to die? Is this my end? Rosy…mum…Hendrix…***Hendrix.Damn it!"Louise!" My body was on autopilot.

Kyla Eva Fuentabella."You can't do this, Kylie! Mum will never approve of this. What the hell are you thinking?" I frowned, feeling confused as I looked at her.She smiled slightly while admiring her reflection in the mirror, running her fingers through the long, wavy hair she had just combed."Please, my sweet sister, Kyla, have mercy."As I stood behind her, she calmly uttered and pouted at my reflection in the mirror. My shoulder dropped together with my heart, and I felt a tingling pain inside my head. I shut my eyes."What it is that you want, Kylie? It's your wedding tomorrow, and the hell!" I exclaimed and failed to keep the calmness in my voice. An intense anger is slowly arising within me, but she seems unconcerned about it.She remained calm and composed. While me? Here I am, pacing back and forth, thinking of the best solution to her stupidest!I paused and looked at the Louis Vuitton traveling bag and her Hermes Birkin on the corner. I don't know what she's planning this

Enzo Denver Mondragon."Don't smile too much, Enzo. It's fucking disgusting, bro!" Linus Leone smirked and shook his head."Just tell me that you are jealous, Leone. Why don't you settle down like us—four?" Conrad said with open arms."I don't think it will happen soon to Linus Leone, Conrad. This lion is not ordinary like you," Xavion snorted.I slightly shook my head while listening to them."You are all a bunch of crazy peps!" Linus let out a short laugh and smirked again.The boys are here at the Monde Rock Bar gathering at my so-called Batchelor's party. Next week is the biggest event of my life, and after that, I will no longer be a bachelor because I will marry the most beautiful woman I have met."What sort of a bachelor party is this? Where's the dancing girls?" Glenn complained as he looked around.He was right, this is probably a boring one, but I like it like this. I don't want a complicated bachelor's party, and I'm sure Kylie will never approve if there's a woman inside

Kyla Eva Fuentabella.I don't think I can sleep after what happened. I constantly stare at the ceiling, thinking about what to do next.It is unbelievable. It's freaking unreal!I can't understand my twin sister, Kylie. Her twisted, untangled brain made her what she had become. An absolute dumb, pain in the ass, stupid! Sometimes, I question myself if she is really my twin by blood. We look physically the same, but we are completely opposite in everything. I'm the angel, while she's the devil. I'm the fairy with a golden heart, and she's the black wicked witch without it.I wonder who carries the bad blood? Is it mother or father?I don't think it's our father. He is the best father for me, loving, caring, and understanding. It could be our mother. She's as wicked as Kylie and doesn't care about me. Ugh, I hate this! I don't want to think too much. This is useless!I rolled over my back and submerged my face in the pillow. If I could only turn back the time, I could have a better a

Kyla Eva Fuentabella.I stood empty, staring at the mirror in front of me. I felt numb and lost.Isn't your wedding day supposed to be the happiest day of your life? No. Not! Especially if you happen to be the substitute bride!"This will be the last, Kayla. After this, you are free to go. I also had enough of all the pretend, and I'm tired of this game. This is the last. I Promise. I will never bother you again. So, please just be my substitute, okay?" Kylie pleads once again in the line."But Kylie? Where are you? Who's with you? Who is he? What are you planning to do? I thought you would be back tomorrow," I frustratedly asked. I want to pull my hair so she can wake up. "I will be back after three days from now on, Kyla. Just be my cover for a while. I know you can do this. This is easy peasy for you. You are my professional mini-me, and I believe in you, okay? I have to go. Bye," she stated and ended the call.My mouth parted, and I just can't believe it! "What!? H-Hello, Kylie

Enzo Denver Mondragon.I couldn't stop smiling while seeing her walking down the aisle. I'm so happy that today is a beautiful sunny day. The Island was so peaceful with its natural gift, and the sea salt breeze was perfect. This Island belongs to Liam Mondragon, Drew's brother. It's exclusive and private."Best wishes, bro. You have the most beautiful woman," Enzo whispered. He is my best man, and the rest of my Mondragon cousins who are single are groomsmen. All of them are standing, looking bloody handsome.I looked back at Kylie. She stood up, gave her parents a quick hug and kiss, and continued. When our eyes met, I felt the magic flick of my heart.Dammit. I'm effing nervous, and I don't know why. My heart hammered hard, and I couldn't hide my smile. I cleared my throat and stopped firmly, watching her walking towards me.Finally, I'm marrying the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with."Take care of my princess, Enzo." Kylie's father patted my shoulder, and her mother

Kyla Eva . I am feeling overwhelmed and cannot handle the situation anymore. "Stop, hon! I-I'm fine. I don't need a massage." I pulled my feet from him immediately. "Don't be silly, hon. I'm the doctor here, and I know what I'm doing." He smiles, bites his lower lip, and looks at me seductively. Oh my God! I felt like my heart was going to pop out of my chest. I swallowed hard as he slowly caressed my feet and slowly put them back on his lap. My grip tightened on the cup that I was holding. I'm good at faking myself but the heck, sleeping with him in one bed is a big no for me. Oh, dear God! Please give me strength so that I can make it through the night. I hope it will be three days tomorrow, and this will be over, but no, it's not! I still have two days to go. I shifted my focus and sipped the warm milk he had prepared for me. Though my eyes were fixed on the TV, I made an effort to listen to it attentively. But no matter how much I wanted to ignore him, I couldn't. The way

Narrator's POV.Eleven hours earlier...Louise was supposed to call Shella, but that did not happen. Shella has been wondering all along why Louise hasn't called yet. "Why hasn't she called me yet? She was supposed to call earlier," she muttered before dialing Louise's number without any hesitation.Tot…tot…tot…"What the? Why is she unattended?"She attempted once more, but the result remained unchanged. After waiting another hour, she considered it might be the signal at that location. However, deep down, she realized it was unlikely. This area has a strong signal with telecommunications towers throughout. So, it's impossible.Shella then speculated that perhaps Louise's phone had a low battery.That's it!It was nearly seven o'clock, and Louise still hadn't arrived. She remained unattended.Shella felt a surge of panic. She realized that Hendrix would arrive shortly to pick up Louise. They needed to go to a surprise family event. This surprise was organized by Hendrix, of course

Louise Rose.I swear in my mother's name, I will make Stephanie pay for what she has done to me!"I'm busting! Hey!""Just pee on your pants. You're going to die anyway." She folded her arms across her chest while observing the two men getting ready for something.I chuckled. "I don't want to die smells like shit, at least! You should grant me some wishes, you know, bitch!"She twirled around, frustrated by my annoyance."Will you shut up! I can't concentrate!" She yelled like a maniac.I giggled at that. "Oh well, too bad. I will never leave you in concentration. So, better untie me, Steph, and bring me a moment of joy!"She disregarded me. She plugged her ears while waiting for the boys to wrap up.What the hell they're doing?I'm out in the dark, at least, and now the sun is shining brightly. I never had a wink last night. I've been thinking of many ways to escape, but I can't do anything.At least one of the boys is kind enough to let me use the toilet. But even there, there was

Louise Rose.I stepped out feeling confident about this. I already told Shella that I would be home before seven. It’s still early—it’s eight in the morning.A man dressed in black looked in my direction. I scanned around first, ensuring that no one matched his description.Last night, he messaged me that a man in all black would fetch me here in El Puerto.“Louise?” the man wearing all black looked at me.I nodded.“This way, please.”He led me to his car, which was only a short distance from where my car was parked. I glanced around again, ensuring it was really him. No one else was nearby, so it had to be him.He opened the sliding door of the van, and I climbed inside.“There are refreshments for you. Help yourself and enjoy the road trip,” he casually said before shutting the car door.I feel the van moving and become familiar with the road. I’m not hungry yet. I’m just enjoying myself while listening to music on the vehicle wireless. He remained silent while driving, avoiding e

Louise Rose.'Your mother… she has passed away a few months after she left you with me. That's why she couldn't come back for us, Louise…'Tears came rolling down my cheeks as I waited for Hendrix. I hugged my knees, crying in vain like a lost child.I laughed at Rosy's confession earlier. It was like a joke, and I didn't know how to take it in.I was speechless and shocked at the same time. Now that I'm all alone, here in the dark corner of Rosy's house, everything comes back haunted—my reality.The mother that I hated so much was long gone. Are you kidding me?I've been rehearsing a lot in the back of my mind, preparing myself for the day she will return for me. I have a lot to ask. Too many, to be exact. But what is it now? What will happen now? What will I do now…"Louise?"I gasped for air and stood up quickly when I heard Hendrix's voice outside. I wiped my tears, but my vision blurred, and my tears kept rolling down. It seemed like all the tears I had kept for myself for years

Hendrix.“I’m sorry, Rosy…” My jaw clenches while holding her hand. Today, I took her for a drive. I mentioned Louise’s mother to her, noting that she had passed away and that her burial site was nearby. She wanted to see it—she wanted to see her sister, after all.“Oh my...” Her lips quivered as her hands shook. I grasped her hand firmly and guided her to a seat. King joined me in supporting Rosy.“Oh, Lilly…” Rosy cried. She bowed her head, and her tears fell.It breaks my heart to see her like this. But we have to face the truth. . . Lilly will no longer come to see them. She passed away a year after leaving Louise and Rosy.I don’t know what happened, but Xavion told me that only one person holds all the answers—Eddie Jones, Louise’s father.“I didn’t know. . . No wonder I always dream of you. You always visit me in my dreams, smiling without a word. I was worried… I thought everything was alright with you. It never came across my mind that I would see you like this. . . Lily...

Louise Rose."And you will love this! Tadaa!"The confetti showers all over Rosy. She laughed, trying to catch the confetti around her. I couldn't keep myself from smiling. The nurses help me with this plan, and it works well."Thank you!" I beamed at Kensie. She's one who will always be there for Rosy in this care facility whenever I'm not around."My goodness. How much did you guys cut for this?" Rosy's hands are holding a few of the confetti cuts. It's made of paper from the recycled materials at the office. The golden one is the one I bought the other day."Open it up, Rosy. Come on, I can't wait!" Shella uttered beside her. She's more excited at the present.I giggled and kept my smile. The box is too big for the present itself. Shella helped Rosy as I was filming them."Oh. . . It's empty." Rosy's mouth fell when she saw the brown folder inside it. She looked at me puzzled.I nodded."Open it, Rosy…"She looked at it first and slowly ripped the edge. My heart is racing. I don't

Hendrix."It's absolutely wild, Hendrix. When did everything get so twisted?" Xavion chuckled."Initially, she served as your matchmaker, later taking on the role of a simulated girlfriend. Now that you've both acknowledged your feelings, she has become your genuine girlfriend.""You assisted her with her business and also with Rosy. You're truly unique, Hend. Your romantic journey feels like a novel, and it doesn't stop there; now, you're investigating Louise's mother to uncover the identity of her real father.""Damn, you are the man!" He laughed, almost rolling on where he stood.I swirled my tongue in my mouth as I gazed at him. Xavion is correct. Everything he said was true. "You are having a good time in my shit, right?" I smirked."I'm not, but yes." He shook his head, resting both of his hands on his hips. "Well, now that you have all the information, it's your call, Hendrix. Linus will take you to the spot where her mother was found. I'll be ready to assist if you require
