Chapter 38: His Love "Seemed like rain is about to pour." Fred spoke while his right hand rested on his waist. He glanced at the sky and back to the fountain in front of them. "Yeah," Fera answered while they both stared at the huge fountain in the middle of the park. Stunning gracefully with aggressive waters and uniform splash in it. "How are you?" he took a glance at her. "Living like a human," she muttered, it sounded soft and calm perfectly mirrored the atmosphere. It wasn't sunny, clouds had blanket the sky. "When will you coming back?" "Not now, please." "You had delayed everything enough." Fred spoke then she turned her head to Fred and looked at him in pleading eyes. "Please, you can take care all of them for me, right?" Fred never witnessed her pleading like that before, she was always strong and a fighter. "I can but that is not the case, this was neither my lost nor advantage." She looked down and grip the chain of her swing. "I know, I just can't." "How lo
Chapter 39: HeadlinesNick’s PovHE was yawning as he was walking to his fridge, his smile never left his lips while planning his day with Fera. He was planning a coffee date at the newly opened coffee shop near their apartment. He started preparing his breakfast and made it for Fera too.Then a siren of a police mobile entered his ears, he walked to his window and checked what was happening. He saw his landlady talking to the policemen and after a few exchanges of words, she pointed to Fera’s apartment. Lines had formed on his forehead, he waited and saw the policemen climb up to their floor.Then they went to Fera’s apartment, he went out and saw them knocking on her door. “What is going on?” asked he. Before anyone could answer the door went open and revealed Fera in her pajamas, with messy hair and half-opened eyes. She literally just woke up. “Yes?” Someone suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled him away from them. He turned his head and saw mama Tes. “What is going on,
Chapter 40: Gathered InformationNick was watching his found information about her father’s death. It a rumored that a girl was walking out of their village the night before Mr. Fuentes was found dead in his house. He got his hoody and pulled out his car from the garage. He visited the guard’s house in the middle of the night. Good thing that security was fast asleep when he got there. He easily made it to the monitor area and review all the footage that night but it was deleted. Using his discovered codes he managed to retrieve the footage. It was indeed a girl walking fine out of the village.‘Who is this?’ he mentally asked but he knew that she built seemed familiar. He took a copy and deleted it once again. He flawlessly got it but he wasn’t too happy about it. The only person that came to his mind was Fera. It was her body build, he knew but something is missing in the puzzle so he disregarded that idea. In his private file, he piled up all the information about Fera, what
Chapter 41: ConfusionsFera’s POVA strong knock woke her up, she was hesitant upon opening the door owing that the way of knocking wasn’t familiar. But she heard Nick’s voice outside so she opened it out of curiosity. She saw a few policemen and the confused faces of Nick. Her eyes fell on Mama Tes who was looking at her oddly and pulled Nick away from them. “Fairly Raliya Fuentes, you are arrested for killing Mr. Ferdinand Fuentes. You have the right to remain silent-” That was all she understood, her system went numb upon hearing his words, the rest was soundless and he saw her wrist was handcuffed. She didn’t have the chance to speak. Did I kill my father? The question kept in her head, she could understand what was happening.“Fera!” His voice pulled her to reality, he was trying to hold her, and stop them from arresting her. He was asking her what was going on but she had no idea too. She was panicking and confused on the inside but her face remain emotionless. She lo
Chapter 42: Break DownNick froze as he hear him say. While her curiosity roused in just a snap. “Who?” She was too distracted by the sudden problem and forgot about the evidence taken. How it was taken? Who gathered all of this? She realized that her gun was in her apartment and the only person who could enter her apartment was…“Nick Kingston Hernandez.”“No!” Nick suddenly shouted, she took her hand off him and look into his eyes. “I did not- I mean. Let me explain. I was investigating, yes but-”“You are trusting the wrong person here, Miss Fuentes.” He cut him off and Fera felt betrayed.“What? Of course not. It was stolen from me!” “So you gathered all of it!” Fera lost her cool, she was beyond furious and he couldn’t look at her eyes straight.“I was trying to help you, but then this happened.” “BEHIND MY BACK!” She screamed. He flinched as she snapped him out. He couldn’t speak more ‘cause she might shout again. Policemen came and they made him leave. They said it'
Chapter 43: His FrustrationHE was driving undeniably fast, her furious face was in his head. All he saw was the road. While his hand was gripping tight the steering wheel. He couldn’t shake off words from his head. He was confused why he felt that way, he felt scared when he saw her disappointed and betray face. The guilt was eating him up.He got into Ben’s house and went to his bathroom. He washed his face with cold water multiple times. He could get enough and kept washing his face. Until he took a long breath. “She needs me, I know.” Then her cousin Fred came into his mind. He’d surely help. He thought, he saw how worried he was when she was abducted. He wiped his face and ran out to his car. But then stopped when he reached the doorway when he remembered that he didn’t know where to find him. “Holy Crap.” He saw a car approaching and saw his cousin, Ben. He walked back into the house and sat on his couch. “How did it go?” Ben asked him the moment he saw him on his co
Chapter 44: The Trio They stopped for a few seconds and, “HA! HAHAHAHAHA. You what? Love her? Can you even hear what you are saying, young man?” Her sarcastic remark made him feel insulted. “I know what I am saying. I don’t care if you believe me or not.”“Well, then keep your heart out of this ‘cause she doesn’t need that. What she needs is only peace of mind not a war of love. If this is a love story, this is where you broke her heart for betraying her.” And she even pushed his chest using her pointing finger. “You’re not getting the point! I was investigating to help her, I’ve seen her cry and wrecked. I know it was because of her past so I thought I could help her by giving justice to her parent's death. But then this happened, I got all those pieces of evidence easily and it was stolen from me, now they are using it against her with my name on it.” Her eyes were staring at his while he was explaining, making sure he wasn’t lying. She put her gun down and looked down. “Yo
Chapter 45: Work Mode As she opened the room, Ben was standing by the doorway and looking at her. He steps back and lets her in. She pulled her shirt down to straighten it before walking in with a serious expression. He then closed the door and turned off the lights. “Why do you have to turn off the lights?” She asked in annoyance. And he pointed to his computer, it was now glowing. Since all of them had knowledge about hacking especially Lora, Ben let them use his other computers. “Benjamin Leonardo,” he introduced himself and offer a handshake. “Loraly De Jesus.” She knew how to be professional and she saw him being like that so she accepted the handshake. Ben was in the middle while Loraly sat on his right and Nick sat on his left. “As for now, we all had her personal information and basic details. Unless you know something that could up that could be useful.” Ben said and it was obvious that he was talking to Lora. Even if it was Nick who was desperate to work on it. He ha
