CHAPTER 17: LADY
I am all alone at home because Pearl is in school and I feel like I am hopeless. Duke’s call got cut off but that’s okay. I don’t want to talk to him for long because I am afraid that I might not control myself and tell him about what is happening to me. About the unknown caller who is controlling me. I don’t want that demon to hurt him too or Pearl. That is why I need to be careful in my actions and decisions.
I am sitting on the sofa staring at the ceiling. I am lazy doing what I need to do, I am too lazy to teach English online. I am too lazy to meet my buyers or even reply to their queries. I don’t want to go out because it is still fresh in my head about what happened to Darling. I haven’t moved on to what happened to Angel and now Darling is dead and she died in front of me and she died because of me. I can’t even go to the OB-GYNE for the

LENS CHAPTER 18: LADY
Yes, everything will end soon and that soon will be today. I want to make a way to end it today. To get back my life for my child and for Duke and for the family that we want to build someday. I am thinking of a way to ask for help without him noticing when my phone vibrates while charging and when I check it Chase is video calling. I am thinking if I will answer her video call. but she might help me or ask for help to save me from this Virus 69. I answered her call.“Hi!!!” She said with excitement to see me while waving her hand.“How are you?” She asked.“I am fine” I lied“You look so stressed,” She said while looking at me. Maybe she noticed my eyebags and my dark
LENS CHAPTER 19: LADY
AFTER THREE DAYSAfter three days of being hopeless. I decided to play his game to end it because I am sick and tired of him controlling me. Until now the looks of Darling and Chase and how they died I can still see it playing in my head like a horror movie that scares me every time I close my eyes. I know I am not okay because every day I am getting paranoid and paranoid thinking who will be next while praying that I hope it is not Pearl or Duke.I decided to meet my buyer at the mall and I will ask for help from him secretly because today I will end his game. I need to end his game. I wrote “HELP” on a piece of paper and I put it inside the paper bag with his order. So that when he opens the paper bag he will see my note and he
LENS CHAPTER 20: LADY
I still have a little hope that this will end today. I went home and the good thing is Pearl is already home from school. She is watching the news on the television about the shooting incident that happened a while ago. I watched the news for seconds and I grabbed the remote from her hand and turned off the t.v. She looked at me like why did you turn it off? But I didn’t mind her because I don’t want to waste another time like how he controlled me. I want to leave the house now with Pearl. I turned the radio on as loud as it can so that it can cover our conversations just in case someone is listening to us.“Pack your things because we will leave,” I said. She is looking at me and I know there’s a lot of questions in her mind with the Unchained melody from
LENS CHAPTER 21: LADY
He opened the box and lifted me up. Upside down like a deer that the hunter caught in every hunt. He carries me with blood still dripping from my forehead. He brought me to the abandoned house that only he knows. I looked around even though I was dizzy. My body is hurting too because I am folded inside the box and I was surprised at the same time scared when I saw Grey with his body wrapped in plastic. His eyes popped out and even though he is wrapped by the plastic I can see the bruises and wounds that almost covered his body. I shook my head at what I saw. I want to cry but my tears are already dried. There’s a lot of room inside the house. I guess this is an abandoned rest house and he put me in the room at the corner.He put me inside the tiny room where the door looks like a wall because it was painted the same as the wall: like a camouflage. So that it cannot be seen easily;
LENS CHAPTER 22: VIRUS 69
Every time I look at her makes me different, especially if she is looking at me too. I don’t know but there is an unexplainable feeling that I felt every time her eyes meet mine. That is the reason why my plan changed because of her. Because of her stare that can make my heart tremble. My plan was supposed to be to kill her in front of Duke to hurt him more but it suddenly changed when I stared at her. The feelings that I felt made me feel alive again by looking at her, staring at her. There is something that I cannot explain. Now my plan is to kill Duke so that he cannot take Lady from me. He takes the woman that I loved. Now I will take the woman that he loves no matter what it takes. I am sitting in front of her because I want to see her face every minute even though it’s crazy to admit but I miss her and I can’t deny it. I laugh silently to myself because it’s hard to admit but I know deep inside I want to see, kiss,
LENS CHAPTER 23: LADY
Alone in this tiny room again with the yellow light and an egg tray wall. I hugged the pillow that he gave me and took a deep breath. Recalling what I did because I don’t know why I kissed him. I don’t know why I wrapped my arms around him but I know he can’t look at me and he feels uneasy every time I look at him. I saw his hand closed when I told him that I am thinking about Duke because I am really thinking about Duke because I miss him so much. I am wondering if he is already home and if he is looking for me. I still believe that he will come and rescue me and together we will go home and continue the plans that we have for our baby. I touched my baby again inside my womb and I tried not to cry. I know my baby is fighting so I need to fight too even though I know it’s hard.I closed my eyes and recalled his lips unintentionally because I felt his warm kiss ev
LENS CHAPTER 24: DUKE
Finally, the one month is over and I am so excited to go home to see Lady to be with her again because it’s been one month since we are not together. I promised her that I will resign after my one-month project to focus on her and our baby; To take good care of them, to pay for all my shortcomings and the pain that I made her feel recently. I will pay it all with love, faithfulness, and honesty. So that is what I did. I passed my resignation paper before going home. Tomorrow I will be with her for our baby’s check-up. I am thinking about her now and how I miss her. I am thinking about our baby’s name too. I hope it’s a girl that looks like me but with her mother’s traits. I think about Lady now and I want to hug and kiss her when I reach home. I borrowed Ray’s phone to call her while I was inside the bus with Ray. I am sitting beside the window and Ray is sitting near the aisle going home but she is not answering my
LENS CHAPTER 25: THE REVELATION
The door opened and I saw Duke. My eyes grew wide because of excitement. Finally, he is here to rescue me. I run to him and hug him because I miss him so much.“Love,” I said when I looked at him again. I get disappointed because it is not Duke but the man who is wearing a mask. I removed my arms around him and went back from where I was sitting and I looked away. He didn’t say anything but he closed the door and walked near me. I looked at him irritably and asked, “What did you want?” But he didn’t answer. He sat beside me and looked at me. I know he is holding a camera but I pretend that I didn’t see it. I think he wants to show me something but whatever it is. It doesn’t interest me. Right now he is not only looking at me but staring at me. That electrifies me, makes my heart beat fast and I feel like I can't breathe and I want to put my lips
