View MoreARLAN'S POVOne year later.We arrived at Dominic's grave. When I say we, I meant Saraya, Erlan and myself. It's been a year after his death.Saraya laid the flower on his tomb. "Thank you for making the ultimate sacrifice in the end and I want you to know whatever you did in the past, I'm not mad at you. Rest in peace, Dominic."I held her close to myself with my other hand and held Erlan in the other. "Thank you so much, Dominic. We will continue to look after your parents and do everything we can. I owe you, man. I promise to take care of Saraya until my last breath." Saraya grabbed my hand. "It's time to visit Matilda too, she would happy to see Erlan again." She took him from my hand. "Come here, darling." She said to Erlan who readily spread his hands.I nodded. "Let's go."We made our way to the small churchyard where Matilda's grave lay, tucked between two old oak trees.When we reached Matilda’s resting place, we met Tessy there who was also visiting."Arlan! Saraya! Erlan!"
DOMINIC'S POV.The moment Arlan races to the basement, without thinking, I charged at Mary to grab the lighter from her but unfortunately she had seen through my moves."Really, Dominic?" she scoffs, shaking her head. "You think I didn’t see that coming?""Mary, don’t do this," I say, trying to keep my voice steady. The sharp smell of gasoline fills the air, making my stomach churn. "It’s not too late to stop."She doesn’t even hesitate. With a flick of her fingers, the lighter ignites, casting a small, flickering glow between us. My heart stopped for a moment."No, don't do this." Isla pleaded but it fell on Mary's deaf ears."I warned you," she murmurs, her eyes dark and unreadable. "No one listened." And then, she lets it drop.Flames burst to life instantly, racing across the gasoline-soaked floor. Heat slams into me, sucking the air from my lungs.I heard a loud scream from the basement. It was from Arlan. "Saraya! No!"I spin around, my instincts kicking in. I have to stop the f
ARLAN’S POV.Liam’s message came in, and I checked the screen. He had sent the last known location of Mary's phone and it was Mildred.I cursed under my breath. Mildred was huge. It wasn’t like we could drive around aimlessly and hope to get lucky.Dominic sighed beside me, rubbing his eyes. “This is pointless. We’re running in circles, Arlan. We should just call the police.”I clenched my jaw. He wasn’t wrong, but something in me hesitated. I wasn’t sure if it was instinct or just sheer desperation, but I felt like we were close.Before I could respond, my phone rang. Ian.I scowled and hit decline. I didn’t have the patience to deal with whatever nonsense he was about to say.Not even five seconds later, my phone rang again. Isla.I stared at the screen. For a moment, I considered ending the call like I did with Ian’s. But then I thought, she wouldn't call me for nothing.With a sigh, I swiped to answer. “What?”“I think I know where Saraya might be,” Isla said immediately, her tone
IAN'S POV.The moment I recieved Dominic's call, sleep evaded me. "What does he mean by Saraya is back?"I paced round my room. "Alex is awake and Saraya is back, does this means my time is up?" I asked myself. "Though I found out what Mary did you cause Alex harm, seeing how much he is avoiding Mary, does he know what I know?" I asked myself."The adjourned meeting is in few days, I have to think of how best to use what I have to get what i want." I told myself."Stop being so calculative, Ian." A voice said in my head. "They are your family and could be in danger. Shouldn't their safety come first?""Their being in danger will help solidify your position, more than everyone, you should be the happiest if they're in danger." Another voice said."Just stop it." I screamed at the voices in my head. "I shouldn't just assume things, I should call Dominic again."I dialed Dominic’s number, my foot tapping impatiently against the floor.
