Found Solace in Each Other's Arm

Shiloh's POVThe sound of galloping horses wakes me up. I got up and walked towards the window and parted the curtain. I saw a man riding a horse leaving from the backyard. I followed where he is going. There's a road at the back of this house. I looked far away; I could see from afar that there's some kind of village. I'm not sure because it's too far. But I think there are people over there. Maybe a market, a store, or some establishment. That means I can go there. I try to get some help. I stand back and turn to find my handbag. I need to call Theresa. I wanted to know if she manages to get in the mansion and find the box. There's no handbag in the room. I opened my suitcase; maybe I forgot that I put it inside. But there's no handbag in my suitcase either. I went downstairs; maybe I left it there.No. I couldn't find it anywhere. I am getting frustrated. Did I leave it in the van? I was troubled the other day, and I forgot about my handbag. All my important things are in there. H

Who is Leah?

Theresa's POVAfter I finished talking with Claire, I dialed Shiloh's number again. It's still out of coverage. Where is she? I went to Shiloh's room."Where are you, Shiloh? Your box is here," I said, talking to myself.I put down the box on Shiloh's bed. Out of curiosity, I opened the lid. I took out one and examined it."I have seen all of these. They were Shiloh's collections of photographs." I had seen how Mrs. Hansen loved her Shiloh. All of the photographs show them both smiling. But I couldn't find even a single picture of Mr. Hansen in the box. As I can remember. Mr. Hansen never gets near to Shiloh.I was only eighteen when I was hired to look after Shiloh. Though I was there, Mrs. Hansen was a hands-on mother. She's always there to support me in taking care of the child.I was curious to see what Mrs. Hansen's gift to Shiloh was. I tipped off the box and poured all the contents on the bed. Then I picked them up one by one and put them back in the box. Most of the content of

Window to the Truth

Claire's POVAfter cleaning the mess in the kitchen from baking, I went out to the living room and sat on a sofa when my phone rang. It's Theresa and she is asking me if she could come. I could sense that there was something that was bothering her and she needed an immediate answer. I just turned on the computer to check my emails when I saw Heath's message.I wanted to know what's in her mother's gift to her. Please find a way.Thanks.Just then the doorbell rang. I know that it's Theresa because they only live a few blocks away from her.I opened the door.She's so agitated. I closed the door and led her inside the living room."Come in. What's bothering you? Why can't you wait until tomorrow?" I asked her.She took out the small Ziploc in her pocket and gave it to me."I know that there's a bracelet there but I don't know what's together with the bracelet. I haven't seen that in my thirteen years in the mansion so I guess that that's the gift of Mrs. Hansen for Shiloh." She said,

Unraveled Mystery

Shiloh's POVFeeling exhausted. I lay down on the bed after he left. I have poured out the anger I was holding in my heart towards her father. I have been keeping it to myself for so many years. I couldn't believe that I had spoken to Mr. Heartless. What is he thinking about me now? I don't care about it anymore.Suddenly my stomach rumbled. I look at the clock on the bedside table. I heard that after he left, he went back to the kitchen and continued his cooking. But now I couldn't hear any movement. Then I heard a footstep coming up and opened his bedroom door. Maybe he's done eating and now he's going to take a rest.I got up and went downstairs. I will find something to eat. I only had mashed potatoes and beans last night and I hadn't eaten anything this morning. Not even coffee or water, at least. My hands are shaking and even my knees. I'm very hungry.

Real Identity

Heath's POVI was preparing some food for a late dinner when I heard a notification from my laptop. I opened it; it's from Claire and it has an attachment. I wonder what it is so he downloaded it. When the attachment has fully downloaded. I tried to open it, but I was unable to open it; I tried to open it from the options. I equipped my laptop with all the possible applications that I might need. I have tried many formats. Then finally, the last one is now reading the file. It's a video. I wonder what this is about. Who's this woman? What's she saying? It looks like it's from many years ago because of the resolution of the image. I turned up the volume to hear it.

Where did you get that video?" I asked.He took a plate first and took his food also. When he sat down, he answered."From Claire.

He's a monster," I said angrily.The man continues ignoring my comment about my monster father."Well, Theresa went to Claire's house to give the video to her, I guess but I don't know how exactly Theresa found the video. I'll ask Claire later. Eat first and let's watch the video again. I don't know the beginning," he told me.We both ate in silence.
