MasukMonths went by in the blink of an eye. Everyone had gone back to their daily lives. Every trial had been held, Vicky was sentenced to 15 years for first degree attempted murder, she still has an awaiting trial for mistreating her kids. The hired assassin was served 35 years in prison for showing remorse for his crimes and helping the police find the notorious Chameleons. His boss on the other hand had faced life imprisonment without parole across several lifetimes. For ordering people to kill themselves when they failed a mission, he had indirectly killed a higher number than his men. Sarah Knowles and Chris Owen had been serving the same 40 years imprisonment for challenging the law's decision and first degree attempted murder over two people. There was finally peace and quiet. Cara could sleep without the fear that someone was coming to kill her child. Sometimes, Sarah's words trailed back to her. During Sarah's trial, she had yelled at Cara. "You couldn't have a ch
"No! Don't do it!" The man yelled out. "That bastard will trail them down no matter where they go and he'll erase them, don't do it." Romeo simply shrugged his shoulders. The man couldn't hold back his tears. "Didn't you tell me you wouldn't stoop low to my level? Why are you doing this now?" "If I wanted to stoop to your level, I'd kill them myself. But just sending one text doesn't mean anything. I didn't do it, whatever happens to them." The man remembered his own statement, the very words he had Rockie after stabbing her. If she had died from the bleeding, it wasn't him. He didn't kill her. He shook his head. "What do you want from me? I thought you said you didn't want me to confess, why are you trying to break me?" "Break you?" Romeo scoffed a laugh. "I'm not even trying to break you. I'm just having fun. Do you see me questioning you?" "What do I have to do to stop you from sending their location?" The man asked in a quiet tone. "You don't get it," Romeo said with a so
Miranda helped Cara clean up after breakfast, the others were basically living with them for now. They had already packed up before for the one week trip, why not spend it with the Armani family instead? It was a full house and it had never felt any warmer. Kenneth and Aria also stayed along with Kenneth and Miranda. They had also intended to spend the week at the Armani's, believing they would be out on a trip. Why not just stay together?Mr Armani was updated daily by his wife on everything that was going on and his arrival was greatly anticipated. It was time for Romeo to visit his friend. No one spoke about what he had done to him in the morning, they knew he was just as disturbed himself, but he'd do anything to finally put it all to an end. Thankfully, Jessica had been moved to a new and safer location where she could easily visit her friend in the hospital. He walked back into the room the man was being held in and he could easily see him tense up. Romeo smiled. "I see
Everyone was quiet. All eyes focused on their meals and no lips bothered to make as much as a mutter. Cara kept casting worried glances in her husband's direction, but whenever he noticed, she would just smile at him. Camilla looked so lost. She barely ate her food. Her mind kept tracing back to the incident from university, if Romeo hadn't helped her then, she really could have been left with a worse scar. That bastard then had gagged her mouth, clawed her skin, even went as far as driving a knife into her thigh when she refused to stop struggling. He hit her, hurt her, stripped her, and forced terrible memories down her throat. She still had the scar on her thigh, reminding her of it every single day. Romeo hadn't gone too far back then, he had done it to shake up the bastard to admit to his wrong doings when no one else was doing anything. The school had claimed they were too prestigious to have police coming in and investigating. It would tarnish their image. So Camilla was
"Shouldn't we stop him?" Cara asked out of fear. "Why should we?" Camilla asked. They all turned towards her. Her brows were furrowed and her hands were clenching so hard. "Cam--" her husband called out to her but she cut him off. "That bastard deserved everything Romeo did to him in school back then and this monster isn't any different. He's not going to kill him, that's the most important thing. But he's going to confess, I know for sure." "But Camilla--" Cara started but was cut off too. "Aren't you tired?" She spat out. "Going back and forth for days on end, nothing is coming out of it because that idiot sees us as a push over. We're not going to get anywhere if we don't take measures into our own hands."And we're not doing anything illegal. The police know he's here, we promised to get a confession out of him as fast as possible but it's been three weeks! They'll take him away soon and there will be nothing we can do about it by then." Tori sighed. "I hate to admit it but
They got home to find Jessica and her son cuddled together on the sofa. Camilla had gone to rest, Tori and Miranda were in the bedroom along with Alice, Aria, and her daughter. Jastrow was in the kitchen with Cara's dad. The moment they got back home, Romeo announced Cara needed to sleep and they would have a meeting after she was well rested and the others were back. He took her straight to the master bedroom where they slept. The two women and Aria were together there with the kids. Cara climbed up in bed and cuddled Alice in her arms. The cheerful little girl was wide awake and wanted to play. "Did something happen at the hospital?" Tori asked. He sighed. "We'll discuss it at the meeting. I want to see the man they brought here, the chameleon." Romeo said. Tori nodded. "Okay, go ahead. But be careful. That man is a vicious one." "What makes you say that?" His brow twitched slightly. "I went to see him and before you say anything, I made sure he didn't see me. He's scarre
"Cara Smith, once Cara Knowles, now planning to become Cara Armani. What kind of woman is she? A gold digging b*tch!"Cara Smith grew up in a struggling family whose only asset was a company that could crumble at any moment. The Smith family could not carry their own bills, talk less of paying thei
Romeo felt like he was on a vacation, it had been a while since he got the chance to relax like that. Of course he had to tend to emergency calls from work but apart from that, he felt so loved and welcomed by Cara's entire family. But alas, it came to an end. Just as everything in life does. But
Chris' eyes flickered with evident confusion. Something about his movement made Jessica wish the floor would just open up amd swallow her. "What did you just say?" He repeated his question, taking a bold step towards her. She batted her lashes, anxiety causing her to take a step back. But she tol
Jessica got home, forcing herself to smile and keep conversations with her son. Jeremy was a lot more chatty than she thought. Opening the door, she stood there frozen like a statue. The first face she saw, reaching for the door knob from the inside was her husband, Chris. He stood there too, fro
