Damon's POVHe looked at me confused but then he chuckled.'What do you mean by he is still alive? We checked his body first. We even buried his body ourselves. How is he now miraculously alive? Damon are you that anxious?' He asked.I stared af him and sighed. I knew it would be very hard for him to believe.'Dad, the body we saw there was a duplicate. Jake is not dead. I'm sure of it.' I said.'Why do you say so?' He asked.I explained everything that happened yesterday to him, from the DNA test I conducted to the kidnapping of Sophie.'You mean Sophie was kidnapped?' He asked suddenly alarmed.'Yes. I think she found out about Jake that's why she was kidnapped.' I said.'This is bad. This is really bad. Does Coralline know about all these?' He asked.'No she doesn't. I didn't want to endanger her.' I said.'Good. It's better if she's left in the dark.' He said.'Yes. Dad, do you think Monica may be involved with her father?' I asked.'What do you mean?' He asked back.'Her father's
Sophie's POVI was still in the room when Jake suddenly rushed in. He looked angry and charged towards me. He grabbed me by my hair and dragged me towards the edge of the bed. I screaned in pain as his grip threatened to tear off my scalp.'Crazy bitch. So you had actually sent a voicemail to Coralline??' He asked angrily.Voicemail?? I suddenly remembered the voicemail I sent to her yesterday before I had that accident. So Coralline has listened to it? That is why he is this anxious.My pain stricken face suddenly morphed into a smirk. He seemed shock at my sudden change of expresssion and I smirked harder.'Good, they must be aware that you're alive. And now, you won't be able to do everything you want to do because they are unto you now.' I said laughing hysterically.'Shut up.' He said and his rough plan made a hard contact with my face.I felt the metallic taste of blood in my mouth but l didn't care.'You can hit me all you want but you know I'm telling the truth. The best thing
EVENINGDamon's POVAfter leaving Silas' home, I went to Victor's school to pick him up, after that I drove home.When we arrived, I met Monica at home. Why is she home now? I thought she would still be at the cafe by now.'Good evening Damon.' She said smiling but l ignored her.'Aunt Monica.' Victor said and went to embrace her.She bent to his level and picked him up.'How was school today?' She asked him.'It was fine. I drew a dog at school today. Do you want to see it?' He said.'Sure' She said enthusiastically.I stared at her angrily. What sort of game is she trying to play now?'Victor, go up to your room. I need to talk your aunt.' I said to Victor cutting off their chatters.'Okay Dad.' He said and left.'What do you think you are doing?' I asked her angrily.'I'm just playing with Victor.' She said feigning innocence.'Well I want you to stop it. Don't ever try to come close to me and my family. If you do, you will really regret it.' I warned.'Really?? If you are this de
Coralline's POVI came home really late. By then, Victor and Monica were already asleep. I went into my room and met Damon on the bed typing on his laptop.With one glance, one could easily tell that he was annoyed. He smiled when he saw me. He dropped the laptop on the bed and walked towards me.'How was work today?' He asked.'Tiresome. Thankfully, today's Friday. I've missed spending quality time with you.' I said.He smiled and said'Me too.'I stared at his face worriedly. One can easily tell he was angry because he was doing a bad job of hiding his anger. I wonder what made him this annoyed? Anyway, I should let his anger cool off a little first before I ask him anything.'Have you eaten?' I asked.'Yes. What about you?' He asked.'I have. I had dinner with my fellow colleagues.' I explained.He nodded his head in understanding.'I better go and shower. I reek of sweat.' I joked trying to make him smile genuinely and it worked.His grim face morphed into a breath taking smile.'
NEXT MORNINGMonica's POVI woke up feeling refreshed. I went into the bathroom to do my morning rituals. After that, I up on a new set of clothes.I glanced at my room again. I'm really going to miss this place because after the mayhem I'll cause today, there will be no place for me in this house anymore.I can't wait any longer for dad to take action because my days in this house are already numbered. When our plan succeeds, I'll be back, not as a visitor but as the owner.Just the thought of owning everything that the Gonzales have is making me feel jittery.I took out the veil from its hiding place. Today, you're going to serve your purpose and it will put an end to this war.I hid it in my pockets and walked out of my room. There, I met Damon and Coralline. One could easily tell they were not in speaking terms with one glance at them. Even Victor could feel the tension between them becsuse he was just shifting uncomfortably on his seat.I smirked inwardly. I haven't done anything
Monica's POVI was shocked when I found out that Victor has been watching me all along. He was there when I added the contents of the veil into the tea.'Aunt Monica, what did you put inside the tea?' He asked curiously.I stared at him not knowing what to say.Wait, why am I scared?? He's just a kid. What can he do to me?? After all, I'll be leaving this house today. He won't even be able to tell on me.'It's nothing Victor.' I said.'But I just saw you adding something into the tea.' He argued.'It's just sugar. I wanted it to taste sweeter for you.' I said.'I thought mum said you shouldn't add sugar into my tea.' He said.Damn. This boy is just too stubborn like his father.'She did but l know you like sugary things so I just wanted to do it for you. Just for today.' I said trying to sound convincing.'Okay then.' He said and I sighed in relief.'But I'll have to ask mum first.' He said and I stared at him in horror.No no no. He can't.He was about to go into their room when I dr
Coralline's POVI saw Victor laying unconscious on the bare floor with blood oozing out of his mouth and nose. I screamed in shock and ran towards his unconscious body.I placed his head on my lap and tried to check his breath but it was faint and unstable. It was like he wasn't breathing at all.'Victor, what happened?' I asked hoping he would answer but l got no reply.'Do something Damon. He isn't breathing.' I said to Damon.He quickly carried him on his shoulders and rushed him into his car. I got in and we zoomed off to the hospital.He was quickly attended to at the hospital by doctors. They rushed him into the operating room while we waited outside.I paced around worriedly. How could this happen? Victor was fine this morning but how come he was laying unconscious on floor?I suddenly remembered something. Where's Monica? How come she wasn't there when Victor collapsed? I'm sure I left her in the kitchen.Or did she do something to Victor? No, I don't think so. Monica could ne
She stared at me in shock after I was done with my explanation. I waited for her to say something or even be angry with me but she did nothing.She just stared at me and it was already getting uncomfortable for me because I was expecting a reaction from her.'Baby, say something.' I said after sometime but she didn't reply.'Anything.' I said again and she scoffed.'What do you expect me to say? Why didn't you tell me these before? If you had, we would have been able to avoid what happened this morning. And knowing Monica, she would be long gone. We don't even have a lead. The only lead we had poisoned our son and escaped. This is all you fault.' She said angrily.'Baby, now isn't the right time to start casting blames. We need to...''Need to what??' She asked cutting me off angrily.'What else do you want me to do instead of casting blames? I'm you wife for God's sake and you were keeping secrets from me. You even told my father things that was related to me instead of coming to me
