LISTOWEL’S POV

The loud music playing at the bar was the perfect distraction to my thoughts. I came to this bar to reflect on my life and some choices I’ve made but the rhythmic music kept drifting me out.

Humming the song, I periodically sipped the glass of whiskey that was on the counter before me. Moments like these always remind me of the past. The time when I lost hope of ever finding Melissa again.

I remember how I used to drink myself to sleep every night, hoping that she would at least give me a call.

Unconsciously, I asked myself, “I had it all, What went wrong?” as I drank the remaining whiskey in one gulp.

The faint vibration of my phone pulled me out of my thoughts. Tilting my head to check who the caller was, I ignored it immediately I saw the caller ID and resumed pouring more of the alcohol into my glass.

It was Kevin. He has been sitting outside in the car for a couple of hours now, waiting for me. So I assumed he was calling to tell me that it was late

    WENDY’S POV I couldn’t stop shaking. My fingers dug into the leather armrest of my seat in the airplane as I tried to control myself. Staring straight ahead, I could only hope that this flight would take off any minute and carry me far away from this mess. The passengers around me were settling into their seats, adjusting headrests, pulling out headphones, and chatting casually without any worry about the world. To them, today was just another day and they were living their lives peacefully. Meanwhile, I, a fugitive, was sitting amongst them hoping that they would settle in with seriousness so that we could take off soon. I couldn't risk getting caught. I know the police are looking for me but I’ve bet my last hope on them not thinking of the airport as the last place I will run to. “God, please. Just let this plane move.” I held my thighs firm from shaking while praying. I swallowed hard and shut my eyes. My throat felt dry and sore. Every part of me was drenched in

    GRANDPA MACINNI’S POV “Good afternoon, Mr. Macinni,” the older one among them greeted. “We have a warrant to search the premises. We’re looking for your granddaughter, Wendy Macinni.” I stepped aside without a word. I had no strength to argue. My pride was bruised enough just trying to understand what the hell my granddaughter was running from. They didn’t waste time. They marched past me, their boots echoing on the floor as they bypassed me straight upstairs. I followed behind them slowly and when they stepped inside Wendy’s room, shame crept up my spine one more time. Her clothes were scattered everywhere. Makeup was scattered across the carpet. Her vanity drawers were open and yanked halfway out like she had been looking for something important in a panic.Her bed wasn’t made, and the pillows were also tossed aside. “Malaysia,” I murmured aloud again, loud enough for the officers to hear. “She’s not here,” I simply stated as they turned to look at me. Yes! I was tired

    WENDY’S POV I was on the phone with Emily, contemplating how to get out of this situation. I’ve had no rest since the day I called the jerk of a hitman, and Melissa was the one who answered the phone. No one had to tell me he had been caught. And oh, the aggressiveness Melissa had come here the other day pretty well showed she wasn't playing. “I can’t go down like this,” I muttered. “I’m not ready to rot in some filthy prison for something that wasn’t supposed to go wrong. That bastard swore to us that he would do a clean job. If he’s failed to do it then he should face the consequences alone.” “He’s not going to stay quiet,” Emily cut in. “He’s got nothing to lose.” “Then let’s leave the country tonight. I’ve already secured a flight for us. “What? Where?” “Malaysia.” “Malaysia?” she gasped. “Are you insane? Why Malaysia of all places?” “Because no one will look for us there,” I muttered. “Besides, that was the only available flight. Be grateful I got it

    EMILY’S POV I sat on the edge of my bed, my phone clutched so tightly in my hand that it could’ve cracked. The news of the hitman’s arrest had been eating at me all day. Every time a car passed outside or my phone buzzed, my heart jumped to my throat. “Was he going to talk?” The question kept repeating itself in my mind so much that I was literally on the verge of going mad. My mind was blank and as much as I tried, I couldn't think of anything. At this point, I could only hope that he keeps his part of the agreement because that huge sum we paid him was not small. My fingers trembled as I tapped Wendy’s name on my phone. She answered as soon as the call went through, her sharp voice cutting through the line before I could even speak. “Emily?” “I’m scared,” I blurted, pacing across the room with my phone in my palms flipped. “I saw on the news that the hitman we sent after Melissa is currently in police custody. What if he tells them everything?” “He won’t.” Wendy simply said.

    MELISSA’S POV It's been a week since everything happened. Listowel and Kevin have finally been discharged from the hospital. I took a leave from work so im currently stating at Listowel’s place trying as much as possible to care for him. I informed Listowel the other day about the anonymous evidence I had received the other day. We are currently home, preparing to leave for the station. He closed his eyes for a second and sighed deeply. “I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry you were ever dragged into this.” “You didn’t drag me in. They did.” I sat forward, pressing my hand gently against his. “And now, we’re going to make sure Wendy and Emily rot in jail for the rest of their lives.” He smiled weakly. “Are you sure you'll be okay taking on the case? I can get any of my lawyers to take over in your instead…..” “I’m a lawyer, aren’t I?” I smirked, even though my chest was pounding. “And I’m also the woman who loves you. That makes me the perfect person to take them down.” “Are

    MELISSA’S POV I stepped out of Giovanni’s car and stood still, watching the taillights disappear into the darkness as he drove off. My body was still shaking, my heart still pounding heavily in my chest as I felt the sting of anger bubbling within me. I let out a sigh before turning to head into the apartment building. My mind continued to race as I walked. What was I going to do? Where do I start my investigation into this crime? Was I going to be successful in proving that Wendy was behind all these? As I reached the elevator, I stopped in my tracks. Wait a second. The elevator wasn’t broken? The same elevator that the man from earlier had told me wasn’t working was now fully functional.He lied to me. That bastard lied. He deliberately made me take the stairs just so he could commit the crime without getting caught. I stared at the bright green numbers above the door, confused as I tried to link that weird man to the hitman. Seconds later, the doors opened smoot
