The Secret Slave Chapter 21
Today is the day I will meet Kevin, so I'm excited— not because I want to see him but because of the papers. I took the day off for this.And I really can't forget what Meggay said to me that night when she slept over at my condo."You don't hate him; you never will.""You're just acting like you hate him because it's easier than admitting you already miss him.""Argh!" I exclaimed in frustration while looking for clothes in my closet."Why do you have to be like this, Meggay?! Why did you know a lot of things?!" I said and tugged at my hair.I washed myself and chose the right clothes. I put on a smock shirt paired with palazzo pants. I also wore kitten heels to match my outfit.I let my straight hair down and put on a bit of makeup. Olivia posted a new photo on Instagram. She cut her hair short, so I was tempted to do the same.I just shook my head and grabbed my bag to leave. I got into my car. I bought a Mercedes-Benz a year ago because Meggay told me not to use a motorcycle anymo

I kept looking at both of them, who were glaring at each other. Kevin's words did get to Caelum. I smiled, amused at how they were fighting."How dare you talk like you know what happened, huh?" Caelum's jaw clenched after saying those words.Kevin just crossed his arms, and the girl with Caelum was just watching. I plastered a fake smile on my face for both of them."Because I know. I'm an Attorney, after all," Kevin said sarcastically.Caelum glanced at me. "So you like attorneys now?"I blinked and gave him a wide, fake smile."Why do you care?" I said, raising my eyebrows."Because I care about you, Phoebe," Caelum said in a different tone."Can you please stop pestering Ivory?" Kevin said with a glare."So you're calling her Ivory? She didn't even let me call her that." Caelum gritted his teeth."Hep, hep. Stop fighting, love," the girl finally spoke, and quickly our gaze went to her. Caelum's eyebrows rose as the girl looked at me."I'm Risa Ethereal Scott," she said with a live

It's been a few days since I punched Caelum and got that person to sign the papers. She was really an idiot for some reason.The court decided to take my papers, and it's already done! I don't have a surname now. I am Phoebe Ivory! Not Santos anymore!"Oh, someone looks happy," Meggay said with a chuckle."I don't have surname and link with that hell family! They are not my family anymore!" I laughed a bit.She plastered a smile, warming my heart. She was humming "Empty Space" by James Arthur.It was her favorite because she told me it reminded her of us."I'm alone in my headLooking for love in a stranger's bedBut I don't think I'll find it'Cause only you could fill this empty space," she sang, making me want to hear more.She was the best singer I ever had. But someone interrupted her singing. It was her secretary."Ma'am, someone is making a scene on the first floor!" she said, looking nervous.Meggay raised her eyebrows and crossed her arms."What about the guards?" Meggay aske

Trigger warning.I was walking with a deadness in my eyes. They were like daggers that could kill instantly. There was no smile, no sweetness on my face. Everything was dead.Everything went black at this moment.As I entered the house, there was silence, but I didn't feel any kind of nervousness.There was a disgusting smell coming from the storage room. I went there and looked horrified at the sight I was seeing.F-fuck... What is this?!I squeezed my eyes shut and opened them again, thinking this couldn't be real.The floor I used to sleep on had a large hole, and there were bones lying in it.Was this buried here?... Does that mean I was sleeping with this here? I cover my mouth in shock."Surprised by these bones?" I looked at her, the person I hated most in my life."So, what about this?" I asked coldly. "Did you keep this here? It's disgusting," I continued, raising my eyebrows.She crossed her arms and smiled sarcastically."This," she pointed at the bones as she continued, "i

Trigger warning. (This chapter might trigger you, so stop if you need to.)I covered my mouth as panic took over my whole body. Meggay stopped me from killing that woman, waking me up from the darkness she had shown me.I squeezed my eyes shut and opened them again. I breathed deeply to calm myself."Meggay, I already took care of the DNA that led to her bones," TJ said, showing her a plastic container."How long until you find out who the person is?" Meggay asked coldly. TJ paused, thinking about how long it would take."Maybe tonight I can do it. I'm sure you'll still be at headquarters later," TJ said, and Meggay nodded in response.Meggay leaned closer to me and held my hand, smiling."You did your best out there," she said, giving me a soft smile. I kept looking at her."Your foster Mother is in the interrogation room. I asked Savannah and Olivia to bring Diana and your father along with her," Meggay said, but I couldn’t even respond. I looked at her and held her hand as tightly

I woke up in the familiar room; I suppose I am in my condo right now. But why am I here? I raised my eyebrows when I saw the sun rising once again.I looked around and saw my friends scattered in my condo. Olivia was sleeping on the couch, Savannah was sleeping on the floor with just one pillow, and Meggay was beside me.They were sleeping peacefully, as if they were just sleeping now. Why are they sleeping here?I rubbed my eyes and looked around. My head was full of questions regarding what happened tonight. I went to the kitchen to drink some milk and started making breakfast for them.I cooked bacon because Savannah loves it, fried rice with egg because Olivia loves it, and I also made tuna mayonnaise with egg and put it in a sandwich because Meggay loves it.I made coffee too because they love it."Oh, you're already awake," I heard Meggay's voice as I heard the sound of a chair at the counter. I smiled at her and placed the sandwich in front of her."Good morning, Meggay," I gre

"She's my sister, Phoebe, not my lover," Caelum said with a pleading tone. But I didn't bother to look at him again, just leaving him there dumbfounded.I went back to the office once more, trying to shake off everything he said to me. Why was he explaining this to me? I don't even care.I bit my lower lip as I thought, "Is he playing with me again?"I rolled my eyes and submitted the rest of the reports to Meggay. Opening my phone with too many thoughts, I saw a new piece of news. I clicked the link, and the video started playing."We're back with another update on this case. We suspect the family may have had another Daughter, as evidenced by clothes and a picture frame with another child. They are four in total, indicating another child or perhaps one who is old enough to work. We found no fingerprints of other people, and the picture frame with the other child's face is damaged. We suspect this person may be responsible for the entire family's deaths—"My jaw dropped at the news.

"Soon, my ass!" I snapped at him and rolled my eyes.He chuckled and smirked afterward, making me want to punch him in the face."I don't want it," I whispered to him, making him stop.I looked outside at the glass wall, seeing the darkness swallowing the light. Outside seemed so peaceful with the small number of people out there.I wanted to inhale the wind again to find peace once more. I looked at him and called the waiter to get the bill, and I paid for it."I hope you enjoyed our dinner," I said as I grabbed my bag to leave the restaurant."Phoebe, wait!" he said, so I looked at him.Luckily, there were few people on the street. He looked at me with a lost face, inhaling a large amount of oxygen as he looked at me.The rain suddenly poured down, making me look at him with a serious face and a small smile."Why are you pretending to be happy? Why are you treating me nicely?" he snapped as he grabbed my arms.I sighed and tried to let go of my hand, but he insisted and held on so t
