Miron’s story
As soon as I left Gloria’s house, Corrine called saying that she finished what she had to do so she wanted to meet me. This time I took my car and we saw each other at the same coffee pub we have been seeing for years. And it is so close to my house. Corrine was already there waiting for me. She waved just as she saw me entering so I waved back hea
Rita’s storyWhy in the world did she imply Sam was dead? I refuse to believe this crazy woman and her twisted mind. - What the hell are you talking about? What is wrong with Sam? What did you do to her?- Me? Nothing, she is just in a better world. I did her a favor, you know?- You piece of…- Now, wait a minute! Why this language? Anyway Sam was not the one you thought it was.- Meaning?- Oh, you poor naïve! Didn’t you know that Sam and Miron knew each other?Just like a blow at the back of my head, that was the exact feeling. How in the world and from where did they know each other? - Judging from your reaction seems like you had no clue about it. Well, I don’t blame you for trusting people. Look at Belle here! Have you ever thought she would stab you like that right in the back?„If only I could say something and rip that stupid smile off your face!”- I bet you wouldn’t know also that Miron had been financ
Rita’s storyMy idea may not have the impact I thought it would on Belle but she was willing to try. She hated hurting me but it kind of was the only way she could regain Sarah’s trust. It was also risky as my pregnancy was small and a wrong blow could mean a miscarriage.
Sarah’s storyThe advice Adam gave was serious enough for Sarah to think about it twice before trusting again in Annabelle. But she did hit Rita when she wanted to escape. That could count for something. Anyway is a person that doesn’t trust anyone. She did it with Belle because she has earned it.- I don’t think Belle is one of those. This morning she hit Rita for trying to escape.- She did? Well then maybe I am mistaken and she really is trustworthy. I don’t question your judgment. And to answer your question, I will take Rita the way she is. There are miscarriages, accidents may happen.- Right you are. What about my other question?Adam did a quick turn with his head making sure nobody would hear him.- I can help you with that too. All I need is a little time?- How long?- Not too long, maximum a week is that ok with you?- It is perfect.- Now tell me the big picture. Why this hatred against Rita?-
Miron’s storyI waited a whole week for this phone call to come. And it did. This time we were all at the studio when Sarah called with another riddle.
Sarah’s storyAs things were happening very fast, Sarah was waiting for news about this mission of hers; news that only Adam could give her. She was pacing alone and furious in her house away from Rita and Belle. She wanted to speak with Adam ASAP but he was late to call her. Finally the phone rang.- Sarah, are you home?- Of course I am where could I be?- We have to talk about…- I know, I thought you would never call. Come to my place, I shall be waiting for you.- I will be there in ten or fifteen…She already hung up the phone so she didn’t hear his final words. Sarah was almost sure that something was not quite right if Adam wanted to talk about it. And coming to her place confirmed it better. Also she avoided talking on the phone as it can be listened to, tracked down. Even if she said no cops involved, Sarah was almost certain Miron found a way and someone from the force to help him. But now she couldn’t harm Rita as she promised t
Micron’s storyAll of my friends could see that I turned white as a sheet of paper. They gathered around my but also living me space to breathe. - What does the paper say?I was still frozen in front of that single word that was written on the paper. How can one simple word shook me entirely and my world too?- It says „death”- Death???Corrine was also astonished making the connection with what had happened to her earlier. She was really scared now because she didn’t know if the note was referring to her or was another threat to Rita.- I am sure this has nothing to do with you…- How can you be so sure? The woman almost got me killed.As she was going further with the explanations she began shaking incontrollable. I had to hold her because she couldn’t control herself. - Calm down please, Corrine! I will protect you! Haven’t I already done it?She stopped for a second from shaking and found my worried gaze. I felt so helpless,
Rita’s storyRemembering that name was like a revelation. I almost forgot of this man’s existence. From the moment I suspect that he did something that Miron and I had that ugly fight I can’t stand him.
Rita’s storyThe next morning I found myself chained instead of tied up as usual. I tried to move my hands a bit but it was impossible. The chain was actually digging into my skin leaving wounds hard to look at. I wonder when and how Sarah did that. And how come I did not feel that? I looked at Belle on the other chair. She was like into a deep sleep. I wasn’t feeling good myself either. I felt like I was dizzy. - Belle? Hey, Belle, wake up!But there was no answer and I was beginning to be afraid. What if she was dead? And what is that smell? Was like…chloroform? And besides, how do I know how chloroform smells?Is part of my memory coming back? I hope so because living in this hole is like walk into a dark night knowing you can physically see but you struggle to adjust your eyes to that dark. Was there any possibility that I had something to do with this chloroform?Finally Belle was giving signs of waking up. Slowly but she was. - Oh my God Belle, you are alive
