CHAPTER EIGHTHY-FIVE: PICK YOUR POISON

last update Last Updated: 2024-12-03 11:43:11

VALENTINA’S POINT OF VIEW

Raphael Fernandez, Diego’s father is a monster. He raped me. It is one of those things… those memories I try to push away, one of those memories that I try to forget ever happened because I am not sure I have healed from that, I don’t think I can ever heal from that.

Remembering it will create a chain reaction of hate, regret and self loathing so I have tried for years to just imagine that it didn’t happen.

I used to wake up drenched in my own sweat, I used to have nightmares where he would chase me through the woods with a sickle, in those nightmares Raphael Fernandez was the grim reaper and I was his prey. I used to be scared of leaving the house for months, every man I saw scared me, they all reminded me of him, of what he did so I retreated to my self.

The first person I ever told about the rape was Damian, we became friends after Diego left for the ranch, we had a platonic friendship and then it grew into something more.

I needed Diego, I was vulnerable,

    VALENTINA’S POINT OF VIEW “Where is Dester?!” My sister Sydney asked, I have to look for a way to break the news of Dester’s death to her without upsetting her, it’s been five days, I have been trying my best to avoid this question, it has not really been hard to avoid the question because she has been sedated for most of that five days and when she was awake she was too groggy from the sedation to talk for too long.But now it’s been five days since she woke up, she’s finally starting to get better, she’s finally off those injections that makes her sleepy, she’s finally going to be discharged tomorrow.I cannot avoid this question for longer.“Why hasn’t he come to see me,” Sidney asked again.“Doesn’t he love me anymore? Why haven’t I seen him since the accident yesterday?” She asked starting to get panicky. Sidney’s time lapse is a bit flawed, as a result of the coma and the constant sedation she thinks the accident that happened to her and Dester five years ago, she thinks the ac

    YARA’S POINT OF VIEW Raphael said nothing else to me after his huge ‘I love you’ confession, we just fell asleep wrapped in each other’s arms.He has never told me he loves me before, since he became my man when I was younger. I just always convince myself that he did. I always did everything to make him fall in love with me, I did whatever he wanted even stuff I wasn’t comfortable doing at the time just so he would say those three words but he never did and then now when I’m not even sure how I feel about him anymore he says the words that I have been waiting to hear when I was a teenager.To be honest I don’t really know if what I feel for him is love, or obsession, sometimes it’s lust other times it’s just pure hatred. It’s a mix of everything, sometimes like yesterday when he is really nice to me at those moments I’m sure I love him but then he does something to fuck everything up and then I hate him, then he comes on to me with his beautiful body and seductive voice and at tha

    VALENTINA’S POINT OF VIEW Desmond sandals has pretty much taken over Diego’s empire, he orders everyone who had once worked for Diego around, Ava and I are like slaves here now.I tried to leave the mansion, I tried to take my daughter with me back to my apartment but he wouldn’t let us leave, he has guards at every nook and cranny of the mansion, we do not take any step except it is approved by Desmond, we are slaves to him, it is hard to remember the time when we were free.“Mama when is Diego coming back. I miss him so much ” Ava asked for the hundredth time. She has been sad ever since Diego’s disappeared.I hugged her close to myself.“He will return soon my love.” I replied, saying the same thing I have been saying for a while now. I don’t know if I believe those words anymore, I don’t know if he will ever return, I don’t even know if he is still alive, I am slowly loosing faith, slowly giving in to despair but I cannot give in, I have to stay strong for the sake of our love, f

    ZARA’S POINT OF VIEW “ can a get an espresso with one glazed doughnut, please .” I said to the attendant at the coffee shop, I waited for her as I replied to a message on my phone. I am so far behind in my school work, I have to work really hard to catch up, I have a test due the day after tomorrow and assignment due in a few hours.I took my order from the lady.“Thank you.” I said and then made my way to an empty table, opened up my laptop on the table and went to work writing a report on ‘the effect of global warming on different systems on the body’. I was still searching through the internet for a suitable research paper when I heard some noise from outside. I frowned, great now I would for sure never finish this report. I slid in my headphones and continued working with Beyoncé’s lemonade album in my ear.I was really into the report writing, was full immersed in the flow of the writing as well as rhythm of the music when someone shut my laptop close, I frown and looked up expe

    YARA’S POINT OF VIEW I lay in bed with the flash drive in my hand as I wondered what to do next. I should find a way to somehow get the flash drive to the police but yet again I don’t know who is on Raphael’s payroll and who isn’t. I look at the flash drive which is the only key to Raphael’s downfall all his abuses and crimes are contained in this singular device, what do I do?I was still contemplating on my next step when Raphael walked into the room, I quickly dropped the drive inside the cover of the pillow close to me. I tried my best to act cool even if I am so nervous.“Yara, I am sorry, I really shouldn’t have captured your sister.” Raphael said, he looked… sincere, like he really means what he is saying. I really shouldn’t but I feel bad for yelling at him. He is sorry and he loves me, he might not be perfect but at least he is trying besides nobody is perfect.I don’t know why I hate this soft spot for Raphael, I really should hate him for all the hurt and pain he has caus

    ZARA’S POINT OF VIEW I got down from the plane, it’s sunny now, not scorching hot though, just the right temperature like the sky decided to finally smile after the long period of snows. It is January now, December and the holidays is over.December, Christmas was really nice, I spent it with my sister, we watched cheesy Christmas movies while drinking hot cocoa and eating cookies. It was the best time in a long long time, i am getting a little bit homesick just thinking about it. I am in Seoul now, I smile to myself I take in the environment, it’s a little bit busy here at the airport, there are people going and people arriving, there are families welcoming back their loved ones and people saying goodbye.I got my luggage and walked down, I got a taxi and headed to the University. The Taxi stopped in front of the large university accommodation. It looked happy, beautiful, the grasses, trees, the statues, the architecture, everything sat right with me. I stood in front as I checked

    YARA’S POINT OF VIEW “So how are you feeling today?” My therapist Nia asked. It was hard the first time I was here, the thought of baring myself completely to a stranger made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Therapy felt a bit complicated, being vulnerable did not seem great but it’s been two months now, I think I am getting better at it.“Better, I feel a bit better. I still have the panick attacks sometimes but I think it will all get better eventually.” I said with a smile on my lips, I stared at the pastel colored walls, at the little posters on them. ‘Breath in breath out you’ll be alright.’ One of the posters said, I believe it. It’s taking a while but I can see the improvement.I moved out, moved to a new area, got a new job, crafted new routines for myself, I feel like everything would be alright… eventually.I’m still learning somethings and unlearning over things, I wake in the morning do a little self affirmation, I try to breathe my way to serenity whenever I feel anxious, I

    DIEGO’S POINT OF VIEW I feel so helpless right now, I feel so… tired so drained.I cannot do anything about the situation, i cannot help, make it better, nothing I do will make Ava better now. Most times, in most situations money solves the problem, I have a lot of that but now even that cannot help. We just have to watch and see what happens like what the doctor said. It is a horrible feeling being helpless, not knowing what would happen next, being uncertain, feeling this lump of grief and sadness in the pit of your stomach.She lost a lot of blood, the bullet might have damaged some vital organs in her chest area, the bullet is still in her, it might be completely shattered now making it difficult to find all its pieces. The doctors just keep giving us information that makes the situation worse than it already is and now we haven’t heard from them… the doctors for a while now, they have been in that room with Ava for sometime now, we don’t know what is happening, we don’t know wh

    RAPHAEL’S POINT OF VIEW This should be interesting, I wonder who she would pick; her daughter or her lover, I am actually genuinely curious. I watch her intensely, this Sanchéz girl, it’s funny because I watched her grow up, I watched all of them grow up well almost all of them except the little girl Ava. She seems like a nice kid it’s such a shame that she would be dead soon, they would all be dead soon regardless of who Valentina picks, I am just interested in her choice, I am always interested in how the human mind works.Her choice does not mean I would not take my revenge anyway. They all die anyway, every single one of them, I like a clean job that’s why I get things done by myself… most of the time.“Clock is ticking Valentina, thirty seconds more.” There’s tears in her eyes, she looks from Diego to Ava with the gun in her hand. Her daughter Ava looks scared I can’t blame the five years old. Ahhh Drama, I love it.“Shoot me.” Diego said frantically to Valentina, that fool alw

    YARA’S POINT OF VIEW There is this girl who had tried to escape yesterday, she looks no older than seventeen, she looks frail and pale, like everything has been stripped away from her. This girl makes me question the love I feel for Raphael. Amelia, seventeen year old, She has been continuously abused, constantly raped by Raphael Fernandez since she was twelve, I was brought to tears by her story, it is so… inhumane what happened to her… how could I have been so dumb to have fallen in love with such an abuser?! I cannot look at him the same, in fact I never want to see him again, I hope Raphael Fernandez gets the punishment he deserves. I looked at the flash drive again, this can get Amelia the justice she deserves, this can bring Raphael the punishment he deserves.I hand this flash drive over to Amelia, we have been plotting her escape for sometime now, me, her and one of Raphael most trusted employee. This employee has been on Raphael’s payroll for the longest time, he was the o

    VALENTINA’S POINT OF VIEW.When I saw him standing there at the door way in a grey hoodie, I thought I was imagining things, I thought I had finally gone crazy from loneliness, I think I had let psychosis get the better of me because of how much I miss Diego.But the he moved closer and closer to me, he looked very real, very present, very… there but I did not want to believe it, three months! Three months and he is here now? I had mourned him, I had blamed God of being unfair to me, I had fought God for taking my Diego again so I could not believe that Diego was the one standing in front of me.I ran into his arms with tears in my eyes, I never thought I would ever see him again but thank goodness fate is being kind to me by bringing my Diego back. He hugged me tightly, he hugged me like I am the breath in his lungs, I have so many questions, many things I want to know but for now I just leaned into his hug, enjoying the comfort that it brings.“Diego!! I missed you so much.” I heard

    RAPHAEL’S POINT OF VIEW “Where the Fuck is he?!” This bunch of incompetent idiots! How the fuck did Diego escape?! I have everyone lined up in front of me, everyone down to the chef and the butler, they are all so stupid! How could they let this happen! If I don’t get a reasonable answer in 0.1 second every body’s would be spun out of their necks, it wouldn’t make any difference since they are brainless already! Brainless enough to let Diego escape!There have to be a snitch, a betrayer, a two faced idiot amongst these fools because there is no way that Diego escaped all by himself, this place is heavily guarded, there are guard at every single point so someone must have help that spawn of mine.“There is an enemy amongst us, the person who helped Diego escape can either come out now or be fished out.” I studied them one after the other, nobody came out, it’s alright then let the show begin.I dragged the head of the domestic staff out first, she usually knows all the gossips I bet
