CHAPTER 3
Annoying, its like I don't have any escape. I feel like I have no freedom in my situation.
"You need this for your safety as well, just press the red bottom if there is a problem" He said and without any hesitations I pressed it.
I was startled when suddenly something sounded loud like serine. The noise is scary because it looks like there will be a tsunami, seriously. They grabbed their cellphones and looked at me seriously.
"I have a problem, why here at Sir Vescinzo's house?" I asked in surprise, because we were just outside the gate at his house.
"Kid, If you are in danger just press the red one and if you see the crazy woman make sure to press the green if you are not really at fault you will do what we ask you to do" Johnny V said.
"We're not rich enough to sponsor a house for you, just stay here first, don't worry Vescinzo won't take advantage of you because you're not he's type" The annoying guys said—Velasco. I frowned because I was annoyed I pressed the red bottom again, Nothing. I just want to annoy them.
"Tomorrow is Saturday and you are not allowed to go out" Chief Velasquez said seriously.
"All right we'll go first" Velasco said as he bid a wave.
Sir Vescinzo and I looked at each other. Actually I'm embarrassed, because I'm in another house now. What kind of tire did I put in!
"I saw you crying earlier ..." Out of nowhere Sir Vescinzo suddenly spoke. I turned to her and she looked surprised.
"Ahh just about Julia, I'm sure you won't believe me if I tell you the reason ... no one will believe me after that fucking news" I said angrily and those thought flashed again through my mind—the photos that were spread about Miss Madielaine/Monica. Who ever she is.
"Ah! Number one rule is not to cursed" he suddenly said to me. I almost rolled my eyes.
"You have someone to be with you, my daughter" Okay. I don't care as long as it's quiet here, I'm fine.
"There are also helpers here so if you need anything just tell them" He said again, we are now walking to a room.
"Ah I have something to say" I guess he needs to know about our Acquaintance with that woman.
"What's that?" We stopped halfway through the walk.
"About the woman, did you know her?" I asked.
“We don’t know anything about his profile because no one knows her” he told me. Am I really the first to know his name?
"Hmm I think she had split personality" I muttered. He was slightly surprised.
"Where did you know that? Are you sure?" He immediately asked, I nodded.
"Actually when I was heading home that time when I saw her, I was going to bring her in the police station but suddenly her aura changed she even said her name to me!" I explained, remembering the scene we had earlier.
"Wow, you should've called us"
"Julia called the police!" I insisted. His eyebrows furrowed. I tilt my head a bit out of curiosity.
"She didn't call." I took a deep breath. What's wrong with Julia? Why is she doing this to me. She even took a photo of me while fighting for my life.
"Did your friend cheat on you?" He suddenly asked, he even patted my shoulder.
"Madielaine" I suddenly said that made him surprised.
"The woman's name was Madielaine but all of a sudden her name changed and she said she was Monica"
"What?" He asked incredulously
“I told you! She had a split personality!” I shouted because what I was saying was just a joke for him."
“Don't shout Kid! My daughter bis asleep” I bite my lower lip out of frustration.
“So tell me everything” I continued walking.
“Promise me that you will also give me an update about Madielaine or Monica”I said, he nodded so I don't worry anymore.
“When we talked, she said that she was Madielaine and that she was kind unlike Monica the demon and then he said that I was not like the others — I would not take her child" I stopped Sir Vescinzo just listened to me for a moment.
“And then she suddenly shifted her personality into Monica and then she suddenly came out with a knife and was about to stab me." I was slightly stopped.
"Are you hurt?" He suddenly asked. There were only two people. Those two people who truly care for me. Aunt Melody and Julia.
"No, Julia came and we ran at the same time. She said that she called the police. How come you didn't go?” I uttered.
“All right, I'll tell this right away in the head police” we stopped in front of a door.
“This is your room. I'll leave you first here I still have to go back to the station" He said and tapped my shoulder again and again. I just nodded and entered the room he pointed out.
The police already left so I'm alone now. I roamed my eyes all over the room. The color theme is just beautiful—white. I guess this is their guest room.
I still don't have my clothes and I only have my bag and cellphone. Maybe Tita will come tomorrow. Why didn't I ever make them wait, They were so excited to the point that they didn't even gave me time to packed my things.
I was just hurting myself because minutes later I found myself staring at her post. I never thought Julia could do this to me. Forced? I don't feel that, I'm just numb and blinded by the fact that I have a friend.
I wiped my tears with the back of my palm. If she cheated on me, she don't deserved the tears.
I felt hungry so I went out of the room. It's past eight o'clock. I went straight to the kitchen and just stood there like a fool. I suddenly thought. Why am I even in a house owned by a policeman with some people close to his life?
I was suddenly embarrassed so I just turned around and was about to return to the room when I stopped. I am facing a girl now — she is small.
She is beautiful and white with a strap of violet hair. I didn't say a word immediately and looked at her in amazement. He was smiling and scanning every part of my body.
Okay she is weird. Is she the daughter of Sir Vescinzo?
"OMG! Are you the girl that my Dad is talking about?" He said cheerfully because she was excited to meet me? I Dont know."Ahmm Yes?" I asked but later I was surprised when she suddenly hugged me.
"Hii! I'm Veronica! But you can call me Nica" he enthusiastically introduced herself and held out his hand to me. I smiled awkwardly and shook his hand.
"Mary" I introduced.
"You're beautiful!" Suddenly she said. I'm not used in compliments okay?
"You're way better" I said.
"I know!" She said laughing and even pulled his hair and put it behind his ear.
"Ah, I'm going back" I said and was about to walk when she stopped me.
"Where are you going? I'm hungry can we have a dinner together? Let's eat" he whispered and went into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. Nice timing.
"I baked cookies earlier, just in case you like it" This woman was blabbering on. "Ahm can I ask?" I asked her to start the conversation.
“It's okay as long as it's not about my crush and—I love kpop! Just trying if you want to ask about it and maybe—
"How old are you?" I cut her off from what she has to say.
"13"
Seriously?I can't believe my question, that's why.
"Of course Mary" She said smiling while busy putting cookies on the plate.
"Oh this, it's delicious" she said and handed me a plate of cookies, I just took one and tasted it.
"You know I like baking, so soon I want to build a bakery" she said smiling. This girl is funny.
"Are you alone?" I asked suddenly.
"Mommy is at work and I already let my maids to sleep" She said and ate his cookies.
"And Yes, I'm the only one so I'm so happy you're here! It's like I already had a Older Sister!" Then she giggled.
"I'm sorry, I was asked to stay here because of their case" I explained that I thought it wasn't okay with her but the child was still happy!
"Even if you stay here forever, Mary!" She said and suddenly hugged me. I would have been happy if I hadn't been thinking of Julia.
Julia also told me that she wanted me to be her friend forever but nothing really last forever.
Now I have a trust issue.

Tomorrow is Saturday so obviously no school. Usually I just stay at home.Grandpa saved money for my college and my allowance will go down if I will spend it in everyday life. They have been gone for 3 years and I have nothing to look forward to.Maybe I'll just look for a job because I can't spend my money for College. When I turn 18, I’ll immediately look for a job and that's one year and 4 months from now. Coming soon.And for my birthday again, Grandpa, Grandma and Julia are gone. So I no longer have someone to celebrate with.Suddenly I heard a knock I was just sitting on the bed when Vescinzo's daughter Nica opened up to me."Let's eat Ate Mary" She said smiling. And walk towards me.My eyebrows furrowed when she is smiling at me."I'm excited because I have plans now for us to do" As usual she giggled. I was embarrassed to accompany her downstairs. I haven't met her Mom yet, I just hope
Two hours had passed and we heard police sirens. I'm nervous as hell. Many things could happen like what I see in action movies. They can run away including us. Someone can also be hurt. I hope none.They were upset and obviously upset, it was a good thing the man didn't see the light I thought he called me, it was Nica who was crying too much.I suddenly felt scared when the men approached us. They released us and held us tightly. I struggled and struggled until I grabbed one of their bonnets and pulled it.I saw his face. He looked at me in shock and I could not move immediately when he suddenly hit me with a gun to the head. I felt dizzy and immediately lost consciousness. *** [VERONICA POV] My eyes widened when I saw Ate Mary
“You know what, you're lucky that Grandpa hugged you despite being a stranger while me, his own granddaughter. He didn't even gave me a visit in every occasion I have "I held Nica's hand. She was sitting across from my bed. Her granpa left and his actions remained mysterious to me."Nica, he saved you, didn't he? That means he loves you" I cheered her. I don't know anything about their family but I feel very sad about Nica's life. The police, His daddy.They don't always see each other while his Mommy has a job all day so only her maids are with her.Too sad. They maybe rich but not happy on their family’s systems."I don't know. I really feel like I'm not considered Grandpa's granddaughter, he just saved me because I was his son’s child "I hugged her to ease her mood. I just let go of her hug when the door violently opened and her Mommy spat. she was followed by S
As I watched the cars along the way, I thought. How is Julia? Will she talk to me when we meet at school today?I really didn't think she could do that to me, I just hope it's not true. It all really started when I met the woman who kills which is Miss Madielaine or Monica whoever she is, I don't care.Now I will face my judgmental classmates again, their sharp twing eyes Everytime I enter the room.And there was another one, the naughty Wayne. I hope he won't talk to me. My life outside of school is already messed up I can't take it when he will mess up inside."We're here" I turned to the man who talked. Sir Vescinzo. Guess what?They didn't really allow me to leave at all.I went out ignoring him, I was still mad at them all. I quietly entered the room and immediately went straight to my seat.I don't know if they're looking at me because I'm just bent over. I want to ta
We were dismissed early today because the teachers had a meeting but I'll go home later. I don't want to be locked up in the room.I will be punished again of Nica’s mouth.I went to the convenient store first so I could hang out. I was about to enter when someone grabbed the door handle so I was also holding his hand."Sorry" I said and lowered my hand. I don't know him but he's obviously my school mate because we're both in uniform. The same uniform. The same school.I thought he was about to enter but he opened the door for me and I bent down and smiled at him. Weird.I just ignored him and just walked around the store and looked at the food. I frowned when I saw the man in police uniform with a woman I didn't know because he was turning his back on me.He was still hugging the woman. But I know him, Velasco. Maybe his girlfriend? Wait. Why do I care? I'm angry wi
"Where have you been?" He asked me as his gaze focused on the road.I really wonder why he came after me now, he was the only one."Don't I have a tracker? Didn't you track before?" I sarcastically told him, I heard him sigh.Oh, where is his arrogance? Does he seem to have given up on my misfortune?"Don't just give your trust in anyone" He suddenly said."In everything I've been through I don't trust people anymore so you don't need to remind me" I said bitterly and avoided looking at him. I was just looking out the window."What will you do when you see your parents?" He said he was able to stop me."I'll ask them why they turned their backs on me" I said while a single tears escaped in my eyes."Everyone has a reason Mary don't let anger eat you when you're angry" He said, I laughed sarcastically."You don't know ... y
"I want you to know where Julia Cordova moved" I said softly. We are in the music room right now."You are really weak, that girl has left you—"Shut up I just want an answer from her" I insisted, he combed his hair with his finger and looked at me."I'm not a detective but I'll try" He said and took a guitar next to him."Are we going to practice now? Isn't it too early?" My eyebrows furrowed when I asked he smiled slightly before laying down the guitar next to him and stood up."The truth is that my group isn't complete yet" I was even more surprised by what he said."You're not the only one I'm asking for favors. I'm still looking for someone who can play drums and guitar and piano" he said. So it looks like he's working in a band huh?"What am I doing here?" I mean he has something to say. I guess."Help me search" he said smiling. He can't get me to smile."Go home" I whispered."Actually I already know
"Where are we going — ah! wait! Tell me what do you need from me? Do you still need to drag me?" I didn't answer him, I kept my grip on his wrist. I already told him what I needed but he just refused me.Today Zyke and I talked about having a meeting for the song we will sing.I pushed him inside because he really had no intention of entering the music room."What is this?" Nothing of his own he said as he looked at the chairs he saw in front of him."You're going to join the band" I said and leaned over him."I really don't want to, do I? I can't get anything out of it" He said and held his hand against hers."All right please" I beg you. Why am I begging for this? Zyke is the one who needs us all."Don't force it if you don't want to" Said by Zyke when the man on the side was just sitting while playing the guitars. It's — Kyle.I sighed. It's not that easy to force Wayne."All right, I won't force you anymo
