All Chapters of THE RETURN : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

I scan her from head to toe suspiciously.She's a stranger. So I don't know how the hell she knows my name."I don't know you...""I know.""Who are you? How do you know me?"She narrows her eyes at me. "Don't I look familiar?"I observe her carefully the second time but I am one hundred percent sure that I have never seen this woman."No!" I say with certainty. "Tell me who you are and why you are standing at my door.""I'm here for something important, Camilla.""What?""To ask you something.""What?""My dad... Our dad."For a moment, confusion washes over me.Our dad? "What do you mean?""I am your sister, Camilla. Well, from another mother but the same father. I am looking for our dad. He has gone missi

 RAMON'S POV  Fifteen years ago,   Marisa just turned six months old.  Dad loves the kid to death. We've been celebrating my sister's birth on the 6th of every month since she was born as dad requested.  Dad brought home a chocolate cake with six candles on top. He knows how much Marisa loves chocolate!  Mom was so delighted as she held on to Marisa who was straining to blow the candles. We all laughed as she strained. When she is done blowing all six of them, she started giggling and clapping for herself. We all clapped for her as dad took her in his arms.  He teases and tickles her as she laughs blissfully, showing off her two incisors and tooth gaps.  My mom pours juice in the glasses around the little table for us. I help cut the cake into pieces and pass the plates

"We are not sure if Andrew is alive." I sigh. "But you and Mom have seen him on different occasions.""That's not solid evidence," Ramon argues. "Maybe it's just us hallucinating...""What if it's not hallucinations? What if this case might link him and we might find him?"He shakes his head. "I don't think he's stupid enough to make a move that will lead us to him. So I doubt if he's really even involved in this missing case."I hate to admit it but what he's saying actually makes sense. "Plus," he continues. "Who is this woman? Do you even know her?" "She's some strange woman that showed up at my house asking for our dad," I explain. "Now that I think about it, I find it really strange..."He stares at the newspaper intently and looks up at me, startled. "She shockingly looks so much like you!" He stops and freezes. "Did she say she was looking for your dad?"I nod. 

Ramon is driving to his mom's place.She is the one that abducted my son. It's been hours on the road and I still can't figure out why his mom would do such a despicable thing. I mean, she's a mom like me. She should understand the pain of losing a child... She's honestly the last person that I thought would kidnap my child. Why would she take away my son from me just like that? Why would she put me through so much torment and torture? If she was not my baby daddy's mom, I swear I would have made sure she was thrown to jail for life. For kidnapping a child. And for disrupting my mental health. "Why would she do that to me?"I ask Ramon, while he's driving, his hands on the steering wheel. He shakes his head and sighs. "I keep asking myself that too. I really don't know why she would do something like this..." " I knew she doesn't like me but I didn't think she would go to s

 My mother has been shot.She suffered four gunshots. She was admitted to hospital last night when I received that call. I literally froze on the ground and I dropped the phone to the ground. My world stopped and for a still moment, I could not move or talk. I suffered a panic attack and I didn't understand what was going on.You can not imagine the immense relief that washed through me when I heard the good news!  She is still alive! My mom is still alive! If she had died from the shooting, I am not sure I would have had the strength to handle that loss. My heart would break into a trillion pieces and my soul would tear. I would sure lose a piece of me.It's true what they say...You never know how much you love someone until you lose them. Well in this case I have not lost my mother but I was sure as hell about to. And the feeling was terrifying as hell! You don't know just how relieved I was when
