Malisa's POV

Time passed, and I continued to wait. Every sound from outside made me alert, my hope burning that Roby would appear at the door. In my heart, I prayed that everything was alright. Anxiety began to creep in, but I tried to stay calm. This was an important moment, and I didn't want to miss the chance to speak directly with Roby.

While waiting, my thoughts drifted back to the encounter with Eric and Lina. What had happened between them? Why did they look so anxious? All those questions haunted me, but I knew that once Roby arrived, I would soon have my answers.

Time continued to pass, and even though I had waited a long time, there were no signs that Roby would come home. The day grew darker, and anxiety began to overwhelm me. I knew it was impossible to stay here any longer without certainty.

Finally, I decided to call my guard. I assigned him the task of watching over the place, hoping he could help monitor the situation. At least I felt

    Malisa’s POV"Honey, come have breakfast. I made it especially for you," Eric said softly, bringing the food to me like he always did, with that gentle, caring smile. I felt a chill run down my spine.Eric had been a stay-at-home dad ever since we got married, taking care of me and our daughter, Serena. He was meticulous, thoughtful, and always made sure we had everything we needed. My friends would constantly tell me how lucky I was to have found such a perfect, gentle man, and I used to agree.But lately, something felt off. The way he looked at me sometimes, the intensity in his gaze—it was as if he were watching me for signs of something he feared. As I sat down at the table, I tried to shake off the unease. The aroma of pancakes and fresh fruit filled the air, sweet and inviting. Yet, the warmth of the breakfast contrasted sharply with the cold knot forming in my stomach."How did you sleep?" he asked, pouring syrup over my pancakes with a steady hand, his movements deliberate a

    Malisa’s POV Just like any other day, I finished breakfast. When Eric was about to take Serena to school, I stopped him.“Serena’s hair is a bit messy. Let me fix it.”I took my daughter to the bathroom, closed the door, and lifted up her shirt. Her skin was smooth and flawless, without a single bruise. Nothing like the scarred body I had seen in my previous life.So, what was going on? How could her body be covered in fresh and old bruises just hours later?“Honey, are you done yet? Serena's going to be late,” Eric called from outside the door, interrupting my thoughts.I opened the door and looked at him. “I’ll take her to school today.”Eric looked a little confused but smiled and said, “Alright, thanks, babe.” He didn’t hesitate, turned around, and started cleaning up the table. His reaction was so normal that it didn’t raise any suspicion.But the more he acted like this, the more determined I became to uncover the truth.On the way to school, I couldn’t help but ask Serena, “Ha

    Malisa’s POV I couldn’t put my finger on exactly what had gone wrong. All I could do was replay everything that had happened in my previous life, trying to grab onto any tiny clue to unravel the mystery. After forty minutes of racking my brain, it finally hit me.I immediately called my assistant.“Quick, I need you to investigate something for me.”After giving instructions, I sat anxiously in the car, my heart racing. I needed to know if I was finally close to the truth. Ten minutes later, my assistant called back with the results of his investigation. As I listened to the report, my hands shook uncontrollably.It was exactly what I thought!I gave one last instruction, my voice cold and firm.“Take care of it, as quickly as possible, at any cost. And remember—tell no one.”With that, I drove away from the school.Two hours later, the calls from Serena’s teacher started coming. One after another, as if she was in a full-blown panic. When I didn’t pick up, the texts followed.“Seren

    Malisa's POVEric stared at me with eyes full of anger that pretended to be sincere, like an actor who almost believed too much in the role he was playing. There was something sharp in his gaze, like a flash of fire that was trying to be hidden behind a forced smile. His eyes were scornful. I could feel the tension pent up in his demeanor, an inner battle that he was trying to hide behind a mask of fake anger. Every movement of his body was tense, as if he was on the verge of exploding, but trying to hold himself back. On the other hand, Serena's homeroom teacher tried to maintain a calm face, but I could see a faint uncertainty emerging. Her lips were tightly closed, her eyes focused on the crowd, trying to control the increasingly unruly situation. But her fingers that held the microphone were shaking slightly. The subtle movement, though small, showed that she was not as strong as she tried to appear. There was panic slowly creeping beneath the surface of her calm, like an invis

    Malisa’s POV After leaving the scene, I sat in the car quietly. In my hand, my phone vibrated non-stop. Eric's number flashed on the screen repeatedly, but I had no intention of picking it up. I just sat there, letting the sound of the vibrations become the background to my busy mind. A small smile spread across my face, as my thoughts drifted to my next move.The secret footage had been uploaded. I imagined the world connected through their screens watching a short but devastating video. In it, Serena’s homeroom teacher was seen receiving a thick brown envelope from someone. The face of the person giving the envelope was not clearly visible—intentionally—but anyone could see that the transaction was full of secrecy and deceit. The envelope opened the door to serious doubts about her role in this whole mess.My phone vibrated again. This time it was a text from Eric. I skimmed it.“Malisa, we need to talk. It’s urgent. Please answer my call.”I snorted softly. How ironic, he was be

    Flash back Malisa POV I feel a bit relieved now after thoroughly berating Eric. Someone I once trusted deeply in my life. But now, in my mind, he is a master manipulator whom I want to push into the pit he has dug for himself. However, on the other hand, my disappointment in him is immense. Yet, there is still a glimmer of sweet memories that I clearly remember from our time together. Especially during our family gatherings. The warmth in the house, and occasionally going out to have fun together with Eric and Serena. Our laughter and jokes seemed to be a balm for our sorrows, but now everything has vanished, swallowed by time and the evil that has long been hidden behind my ignorance. The pain stings every time I recall those beautiful moments. On one hand, I want to forget everything, but on the other hand, those memories continue to haunt me. What happened to us? How could someone I loved become such a stranger? Now, I stand at a crossroads. I have to choose between moving

    Malisa's POV With full concentration, I continued my journey. The road felt familiar, and each second brought me closer to the long-awaited meeting. Finally, I arrived at my destination.Seeing his house, I was shocked. It was small and looked a bit shabby, far from my image of Roby's home. I couldn't believe my friend lived in a place like this. Memories of the past raced through my mind—how Roby was always cheerful and full of spirit, even though his situation now seemed different.I got out of the car and began walking toward his house. It looked inhabited, but it appeared neglected, making me feel a little disgusted. The peeling paint and the yard filled with weeds added to the gloomy impression. Strangely, the front door was wide open, revealing a messy interior.I tried calling Roby's name, but no one responded. The silence made me feel uncertain. "Roby!?" I called again, hoping my voice could stir him. However, only silence greeted me, fi

Let me talk to the caller; give me the phone!" the mother said, asking to speak to me directly.It seemed her child had handed the phone to her. The mother's voice began to greet me on the line."Sorry, ma'am, are you indeed asking about Roby's whereabouts?" the middle-aged woman asked me."Yes, of course, ma'am. Sorry for disturbing your time with your family. Let me introduce myself, I’m Malisa," I said, starting to introduce myself.This straightforwardness made the atmosphere feel warmer. I could sense sincerity in her voice, and my hope rekindled. The woman paused for a moment, perhaps reminiscing about past memories related to Roby."Wait, your name sounds familiar. Are you one of those famous people in this country?" the middle-aged woman asked, as if trying to remember something."Oh, you must be mistaken. A name l

    Malisa's POV I quickly explained the situation I was facing. “I’m looking for Roby, and I’m having trouble getting information about him. I need your help to find out more, maybe through your friends or your network.”Mariana listened attentively, noting every detail I described. She has an incredible ability to connect people and find information in unexpected places. I felt relieved knowing that I wasn’t alone in this search.“Now you go to the place where I used to go to school. I will send you the address via text. Go to the operator and administration section to inquire about the student profile data from my cohort. You can focus on Roby's personal data,” I said in detail, ensuring all steps were clear. “Once you get that, you can trace his address and go there.”Mariana listened intently, absorbing every piece of information I offered. “Okay, Mrs. Malisa, I will carry out that task immediately,” she replied, ready to proceed. Her enthusiasm made

However, I was confident I could find him through my other friends, especially those who had gone to school with us. It seemed unlikely that among all my schoolmates, none would have maintained contact with Roby.I began to think that at least one, if not more, of my friends must still be in touch with Roby. Perhaps they knew his whereabouts or even had his latest address. This information was crucial for my upcoming efforts. Yes, I needed to contact my friends one by one to keep this confidential and ensure my plan went smoothly.With a resolute determination, I opened my contacts list on my phone. The names there reminded me of various memories, both sweet and bitter. I began to formulate a plan to reach out to them, selecting those I thought would be most likely to help. Each message I compo
