CHAPTER: 9
I went inside nanny Silva’s room and took the necklace that I gave her inside her cabinet because I wanted to wear it to remember her. I hold the heart pendant of the necklace and starts crying because of the pain that lingers. Her death is unacceptable. She’s a good, loving and unselfish woman. She didn’t deserve to die that way. I partly blamed myself for forgetting about how she died. I didn’t fight for her, I was just a teenager back then, and I left her alone.
“I am sorry, nanny”, I whispered while holding the necklace close to my heart.
“Babe, let’s go. The flowers are ready”, Echo said. Holding a basket of flowers that he picked from nanny Silva’s garden.
I wiped my tears and composed myself because I needed to be okay going to the cemetery to visit nanny

HELENA CHAPTER: 10
It’s time for worship again. I didn’t wake Echo up because I know he was very tired yesterday because we went to the cemetery to visit nanny Silva’s grave. I kissed him on his cheek and whispered, “I love you.” I gently closed the door and drove to the chapel. “Helena”, Brother Even called me. He is waiting for me to arrive and I know why. He will ask me about John if I have some news about John. “Do you have any news about John?” He asked while wiping his eyeglass with the handkerchief he is holding, and he wore the eyeglass again after wiping it and looked at me, waiting for my answer. “I am trying to check social media, but I don’t get any”, I lied while looking directly into his eyes. “Becaus

Today is the day. I cooked amazing food for our lunch. I prepared everything that would please them. The confetti, my welcome greeting for them, and even some of the balloons that Echo blew. I will hold the lunch in our backyard for them to see the flowers that nanny Silva planted. I put the long table and the chairs at the top of Belinda’s grave because I know they are too dumb to notice. I put all the foods well presented on the table for the girls to enjoy, for their mouths to water so that they will be excited to eat the food that I cooked, and of course, I get the bible from nanny Silva’s room and put it on the table beside the food. I checked everything if I missed something before they arrived, and I think everything is set now. WE WILL HAVE A PARTY. “Everything is set now, babe?” He asked and waited for my answer; maybe I still needed help from him.

I got tired after a long day, and I fell asleep when I heard a girl crying downstairs inside nanny Silva’s room. I stand up, with my messy hair and sleepy eyes. I wear my slippers, and slowly open the door to avoid creating the sound so I will not wake Echo up. Because I know he’s tired; it’s been a long day for him too. I went down to check who was crying. I walk slowly, passing to the kitchen to go to nanny Silva’s room. I saw mama, daddy, John, and the girls still at the dining area, watching me walk slowly. When I reached the nanny’s room, I slowly opened the door to check who was crying and I saw a young girl who is about six years old; wearing a dress with a teddy bear and a red balloon crying red balloon design on her dress., scared from the thunder and lightning inside the room and an older woman hugging her, comforting her and singing her a lullaby. I went inside to look closer, and I was surprised because it was nanny Silva and me. I remembe

I try to go to the chapel expecting to see Brother Ven because I know chapel is his life, and he is always there even when it is not time for worship. I told Echo that I needed to meet Brother Ven to talk to him about the mission. I know he will understand me and help me because we are both God’s angels on different levels. I bought him the bananas and apples that I brought from the mini-market because I am trying to be nice so he would say yes to me. I hope I can bribe him with the bananas and apples. I parked my car near the balloon vendor who was standing under the mango tree waiting for someone to buy his balloons and I went inside the chapel. I looked around to see him, but he was not there. The chapel is clean and quiet. I walked further, and I saw him at the back of the chapel talking to a woman. They looked serious, and I walked to him, and the woman smiled at him and walked away before I went near him. I don’t know, but my feet an

I went to Brother Mike’s place and waited for him to go out. His house is small and simple, with a little sunflower in a pot at the front of his house. I don’t know if the flower is real. I have been waiting for this moment since my memory of his comeback. I research like a detective where he lived so that I will pick him up or kidnap him. I am waiting inside the car with Echo. Waiting for him to come out. “Come out. Come out wherever you are,” I whispered while waiting for Brother Mike. I saw a chubby little girl go out of the house. She is wearing shorts and a shirt and her hair is tied with a pink ribbon that makes her cute. She wears her pair of slippers, and she calls her daddy, and it is Brother Mike. I saw him kiss his daughter. That is why I wonder if he is sexually abusing his daughter too. I watched the kid leave. She went to her playmate living next door with her buck

“See you later, Brother Mike”, I whispered to him. He is still unconscious. I know that Brother Mike will not escape because, aside from Echo, who is guarding him. His legs are broken too. I kissed Echo goodbye and told him that I wouldn’t take long. I left Brother Mike with Echo because I need to do an important thing since I can’t sleep and I can’t take the red car anymore. I need to get rid of it. I felt mixed emotions, making the fuse of my brain spark, and I couldn’t think straight anymore. That is why I need to get rid of the red car, and I will do it right now.I went to South St. and saw the red car parked at the front of the house of the family who shouted at me. It’s past midnight, and the surrounding is so quiet. The neighbor living three vacant lots away from them is already sleeping. I looked around to check if there was someone the

AFTER A WEEKI went to the grocery just to buy two bottles of orange juice and a pack of cigarettes. When I saw many people gathering together at the fountain park near the grocery store, they were all wearing white t-shirts, with a white candle each and a paper. I wonder why they are gatherings? I parked my car near the grocery store and went down to buy what I needed, but before I went inside the grocery store, I heard a rumor that there was a killer on the loose in our place and called everyone to be aware and to keep themselves safe. That gave a scare to everyone, and the last victim was the Husband and wife in South St. The killer burned their car while they were inside the car. I take the paper from the young man who is wearing a white t-shirt too. Standing beside the door of the grocery store.“Excuse me, what is goi

I searched for the girl on social media using my laptop to know more about her. She is Rachel Mein. She's twenty-two years old, the same age as me, working as a sales executive in a glass company, loves to wear contact lenses, is a freak, and a loser because she is fighting with someone here in social media named Gail because of a boyfriend issue and the only daughter of the husband and wife that I burned inside the red car. Perfect! now let’s see if she can fight me.“Where are you going?” Echo asked.“To the girl that I want to teach a lesson,” I answered. He looked at me with questioning eyes.“Her name is Rachel Mein and she is a freak,” I added.“You want me
