-Chapter Twenty Seven-
Allison stomps away.
My son has this worried look on his face and he asks in concern. "Why is Ms. Allison angry, Mommy?"
"It's nothing baby," I say warily, pecking his cheek.
Eric shows up, ready to drive me home.
He notices that I am in Ramon's sweater but fortunately for me, he doesn't say a word.
Instead he grins and asks, "can we go?"
Ramon looks at me quizzically as if begging me to choose him. But I look away and nod at Eric with a frown on my face.
"Yeah... Let's go," I mutter.

I set Roy's chocolate milk along with some muffins for breakfast on the table.
Honestly, I didn't want him to go to school today. I still feel like he has not healed completely with all the bandages on his head and

THE RETURN -Chapter Twenty Eight-
I am on a date.A dinner date with Eric.Roy is with Ramon, playing with Renny at his house. I was actually able to convince Eric that Mr. Lawrence is not as bad as he thinks he is. And you know Eric, he believes every word I say."You are just the most... Amazing woman I've ever met, Mila," Eric says abruptly.That catches me off guard and I'm rendered speechless."To be honest... Since I met you, I have been doing things right in my life. I have a perfect bond with my son. I often go home when I'm free and start hanging out with my brother, Will," he pauses. "We are going for a picnic by the way. Just me, Renny and Will. Would you like to join?"It's still kind of odd to me that Eric has been shunning his special brother for years.But I am happy that he has started treating him right. Atleast he is standing up for him now."I would love to but-""You don't wa
THE RETURN -Chapter Twenty Nine-
"What is that?""A few weeks ago," Ramon narrates. "Allison sent me nudes. She was all clingy and horny and wanted us to get down to business. I really wasn't feeling her and I made that very clear. She has come to my house several times and the only thing we did was just making out... But I didn't feel anything. So, I guess after sending me those nudes, she thought I would want her as desperately but that's just not the case. I still didn't want her. "I'm listening keenly to him. Never in a million years would I have thought Allison would do something so desperate."So when she hurt Roy and I learnt that she was the reason I got fired yet I blamed you the whole time," Ramon continues. "I was so angry and I had to do something to get back at her. I leaked her nudes and sent them to the headmistress and staff of the entire school through mail. She was immediately fired the next morning."
THE RETURN -Chapter Thirty-
I bang on Ramon's door that night.I know he did it.I know he sent Eric those pictures!The door flies open and Ramon stands inside, surprised to see me."What do you want?"I slap him so hard across the face.His face turns red and pale.He glares at me."What's wrong with you, Camilla?""No. You! What's wrong with you? How dare you sent those pictures to Eric! He broke up with me! Are you happy now?""I don't understand." He stares at me in bewilderment. "What are you talking about?"I throw the pictures in his face. Our pictures in the past. Us in bed together. Us in parks and dates. I never even knew he had those pictures in the first place!!!"How would you do something like that to me! It was upon me to tell him the truth about us! Not you! Again, you have deceived me. You have hurt me allover again! You have broken my heart! AGAIN!!!"He grabs my arm and dra

I scan her from head to toe suspiciously.She's a stranger. So I don't know how the hell she knows my name."I don't know you...""I know.""Who are you? How do you know me?"She narrows her eyes at me. "Don't I look familiar?"I observe her carefully the second time but I am one hundred percent sure that I have never seen this woman."No!" I say with certainty. "Tell me who you are and why you are standing at my door.""I'm here for something important, Camilla.""What?""To ask you something.""What?""My dad... Our dad."For a moment, confusion washes over me.Our dad? "What do you mean?""I am your sister, Camilla. Well, from another mother but the same father. I am looking for our dad. He has gone missi

THE RETURN -Chapter Thirty Two-
RAMON'S POVFifteen years ago,Marisa just turned six months old.Dad loves the kid to death. We've been celebrating my sister's birth on the 6th of every month since she was born as dad requested.Dad brought home a chocolate cake with six candles on top. He knows how much Marisa loves chocolate!Mom was so delighted as she held on to Marisa who was straining to blow the candles. We all laughed as she strained. When she is done blowing all six of them, she started giggling and clapping for herself. We all clapped for her as dad took her in his arms.He teases and tickles her as she laughs blissfully, showing off her two incisors and tooth gaps.My mom pours juice in the glasses around the little table for us. I help cut the cake into pieces and pass the plates
THE RETURN -Chapter Thirty Three-
CAMILLA"Mom?"My mother looks up at me."Do you think Dad was a good man?"She sets down the cup of tea and stares at me quizzically."Why are you asking me this?"It is because of everything Ramon told me yesterday. I still can't believe that dad was such a heartless and cold man. He was the completely different in my eyes. I saw him as this sweet and gentle man who loved me dearly. He was my hero to say the least. He loved me. He cared for me. He made sure I got everything I ever wanted when I wanted. He spoiled me with a bundle of expensive gifts every chance he got. He was nothing close to the picture Ramon had painted of him. I got to hear of a side of dad I never knew before...I am even second guessing if there's any tint of truth to the account of events he revealed.
THE RETURN -Chapter Thirty Four-
"We are not sure if Andrew is alive."I sigh."But you and Mom have seen him on different occasions.""That's not solid evidence," Ramon argues. "Maybe it's just us hallucinating...""What if it's not hallucinations? What if this case might link him and we might find him?"He shakes his head. "I don't think he's stupid enough to make a move that will lead us to him. So I doubt if he's really even involved in this missing case."I hate to admit it but what he's saying actually makes sense."Plus," he continues. "Who is this woman? Do you even know her?""She's some strange woman that showed up at my house asking for our dad," I explain. "Now that I think about it, I find it really strange..."He stares at the newspaper intently and looks up at me, startled."She shockingly looks so much like you!" He stops and freezes. "Did she say she was looking for your dad?"I nod.
