Jessica stood in front of the camera feeling nervous. When last had she shown her face online?

She used to be online to show off her wealth and lifestyle back then, just logging into her account again made her feel so sad.

Looking back at all she had, she still deserved that life and she was going to work hard until she got it for herself.

Pushing that thought aside, she nodded to Cara who was sitting with her inside the car.

Just to be safe, Romeo had asked them to use one of his cars he h

  • His Greatest Regret    A NEW SUSPECT

    "Cara!""Cara!"Cara ignored them as they called out to her and rushed outside. Her chest had suddenly felt so tight and she needed air into her lungs. Her legs buckled and she leaned on the wall for support. Tears welled up in her eyes and poured down her face. "What is wrong with me?" She asked herself, gasping for air amidst her sobbing. She punched at her chest repeatedly, still finding it hard to breathe. Her face was wet with tears. "Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop--"Romeo grabbed her hand before she could land another punch on her chest. He pulled her into his arms without uttering a single word and hugged her tightly. She sobbed louder now, finally breathing. "I'm sorry." She said amidst her loud sobs. "I don't know what is wrong with me, I don't mean to... I don't mean to do this to you... I'm sorry." Romeo was silent still. He just hugged her tightly without letting go. When her legs finally gave up, not able to hold her weight anymore, she crouched down to the ground

  • His Greatest Regret    HIS ONLY REASON FOR LIVING

    Micheal Knowles looked so different than he used to, almost like he had aged times two. His sunken eyes looked so exhausted and his skin looked so dehydrated. He sat down next to Chris' bed, staring at his son, almost teary eyed. "What happened to him?" Romeo asked, standing next to Cara. The man let out a quite heavy sigh. He gripped the side of the bed tightly. "My son really wanted to be good and get out of there earlier, they'd promised if he changed, he could have an early release. So he did everything right. "He did regret a lot of things, he was losing it in there. But he managed to push through each and every day. "Until one day, one psycho started picking on him. He said he was a supporter of Cara and didn't believe Chris could hurt you that way. So he hurt him every single day."Cara gasped softly. She stepped forward. "Why wasn't this reported? If he told you all of this then you should have brought it to the warden's attention." "Trust me, I did." Micheal admitted. "

  • His Greatest Regret    The message

    Romeo stared confusedly at the message on the screen of his phone. He immediately called the attention of everyone. "Guys, I wanted to make sure Chris wouldn't be able to do any new tricks from prison, so I reached out to the prison where he's being held and explained some things to them. "They said they'd look into it so I naturally just waited. I reached out last night. I got a message from them just now and they're telling me the prisoner with the name I gave them has been in a coma for the past four months." Cara sprung to her feet. "What??!" "That's impossible." Abigail added, joining Cara on her feet. "I know." Romeo looked genuinely surprised and confused. "These attacks, they began three months ago which means that was when they got their first order. It doesn't make any sense." "Could it be possible that he has been faking a coma all these past few months just to get himself a strong alibi?" Andrew suggested. "That's plausible." Jastrow supported. "He could have

  • His Greatest Regret    TAKING THE BAIT

    Jessica drove as fast as she could, hands clenching the wheels as tightly as they could. They had made sure her phone couldn't be tracked but Jessica still wanted to make it to the apartment just in time. In case the psycho had tried to track her phone and make sure she was at the apartment like she claimed. Looking behind her, she saw some cars following behind her. If she hadn't been notified, she wouldn't have known. They were so incognito. She felt a bead of sweat roll down her forehead and she wiped it off. Her stomach twisted and churned and her breaths grew short. She felt so nervous. She reminded herself of Romeo's words. "Inside the apartment are five agents who can protect you. Don't try to look for them, you'll give them up without even knowing. "On your floor, there are also five agents in different apartments. And it's the same on each floor. You're safe, as safe as you'll ever be. Don't worry." She swallowed hard, almost choking on her saliva. As she

Looking back at all she had, she still deserved that life and she was going to work hard until she got it for herself. Pushing that thought aside, she nodded to Cara who was sitting with her inside the car. Just to be safe, Romeo had asked them to use one of his cars he had never used before. The one no one would be able to recognize with him or his wife. Once Cara gave the go ahead, she clicked on the record, her fake tears already falling down her face. "Hello everyone..." She sniffed softly. "I know, it has been a very long time since I've been on here but... "Guys..." She sobbed softly. "Something terrible has happened to me. I couldn't reach my friend since last night because I was not around for a few days. When someone back home finally helped me reach

  • His Greatest Regret    AN APOLOGY

    Jessica felt those words all the way to her bone. She didn't know why it hurt so much, maybe because she was truly useless and was just trying to hide from the reality herself. Cara was the easiest target for her, she had always been. Back then, she was lonely with no one to stand up for her. She could take whatever from her and say whatever to her without anybody to take her back. But things were different now. On either side of Cara stood a line of people who were ready to put their lives on the line for her sake if they ever needed to. She didn't know why Cara was so nice to her. It was so annoying. She wasn't a martyr. Why would she pay the bills, order the operations, and still look out for her? Why would she care from the start? She was too soft. It was too annoying. But maybe Cara wasn't the same anymore. She wasn't the soft pushover she used to be. Now, she was just someone with a good heart, who sometimes let people take advantage of it, but knew when to stand her gro

    Those were the exact same words she had said to him just now, to take a break, so why was she so heartbroken? Why did she feel a sudden chill snake up her back? Why did she crumble to the ground?
