All Chapters of THE RETURN : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"Shouldn't you two be at school teaching or something?" I ask them dryly.Allison is not pleased at all by my question. "We are on lunch break and Mr. Lawrence hates the food at school."I continue eating my food, pissed as hell.Ramon ruined my lunch date with Eric. He is such a pain the ass honestly. To my surprise, he turns to Eric. He clears his throat and leans his elbows on the table. "So, Eric, what do you do?""I am a managing director at my dad's brewery company," he responds, despite of the puzzling question. "Mmh... Interesting." Ramon glances at me then at Eric and suddenly blurts out, "You two are always together most of the time. Is there something going on between the two of you?" I choke. I glare at him. "That is none of your business, Mr. Lawrence!"He grins. "Uh... Sorry about my lack of manners, Ms. Clarke. I just asked that because I would like to

"We loved her."The priest says. "But our Lord God loved her more."I stare at her grave in utter disbelief."Rest in peace, Gina."Elena cries on my shoulder and I wrap my arms warmly around her and console her. Just like her mother, I am astounded by Gina's sudden death. She was schizophrenic and I thought she would beat it. I thought she was getting better and healthier. But from what I have gathered, she grew much worse ever since her father died. She kept hurting herself, slashing her wrists and this time, she succumbed to the injuries. Now Elena is all alone. Her husband died five years ago and now, her only daughter is dead. I can't bring myself to imagine how this woman is feeling. How broken and shattered this ordeal has made her. How empty and sad and numb she must be feeling. Being a parent myself, I can't imagine a world without my baby in it. He's

"Bursted!!!!"Roy shouts from the back.That was a sick joke. I pinch him so hard on the cheek for almost killing me in shock. Then I pull him in a warm, motherly hug. I had missed this little demon of mine."Time to go home!" I hold his hand firmly, ruffling his smooth hair. Roy does not make a single step. He's holding back. "Mom, can Mr. Lawrence come with us. I want to stay with him some more?"I look up at Ramon and shake my head. "No baby..."He frowns. "Please, mommyyyy???" Ramon squats to talk to him. "Mommy said no. You should always listen to her because she's your mother. And she knows what's best for you. Okay?" My son nods. "We will hang out and play more tomorrow, okay?" He nods.They seem to be getting along so well and I'm kind of jealous. My son rarely listens to me. But now, he is listening to hi

 I push Ramon away. "Get off me! How dare you force yourself on me!" I bark. I get off the couch and take my dress from the ground. I pick up my dress and quickly put it on. "What the fuck is going on?" Eric looks confused. I scowl at Ramon.  "Mr. Lawrence here was forcing himself on me. He must be drunk or something!" Ramon is confused and looks down at the ground, hurt on his face.  Eric is burning in rage. "What the hell! How dare you!" He grabs Ramon's collar and raises his fist to punch him but I stop him.  "Don't! Please!" I beg. "This guy almost raped you. I must teach him a lesson!"  "No! He's just drunk! Just let him be!" I beg. "It's pointless, Eric!"  Ramon glares at

"What are you talking about?"I ask in pure confusion.Ramon yells."So now you are going to pretend that you don't fucking know what you did!""Ramon, stop acting like a fucking child and tell me what the fuck you are talking about!"He grabs my arm and presses me hard against the wall, glaring at me."You know what's childish? Going to the school headmistress and giving them documents to expose my true identity!"What! Someone exposed him! That comes as a shock! And he thinks it's me. Why would I do something like that?"God! I hate you Camilla! I know i have said it before but this time I mean it! I hate you! I fucking hate you!"Those words prick me and I feel a wave of sadness surge through me. I push him off of me."l don't know what the fuck you are talking about! I don't have the time to waste doing that
