As the tears begin to fall, I knew there was tendency Stefano was right about this before his intel never failed him. My chest twisted with disappointment, I never believed that my father would do this to me but oh well, it was happening right before my eye and what could I do? Nothing. I just had to confirm first to be sure.

I already made a fight with Stefano because of this, I couldn't hesistate to find out the truth again. I called Marco to book the next flight to the US and get Tomasso ready because we're leaving to see my father soon. His response was affirmative and I set out to pack my bags and get ready because this was just a journey to the truth. I'd knew moving in circles if I didn't attempt to find out the truth for myself. Nobody had to tell me, it was glaring that was what I had to do. I might as well as be certain of the heartbreak now so I could heal faster and carry on with my life. Instead of going back and forth with Stefano who was trying to help me. Soon, Marco s

    StefanoIt's been months and we still haven't gotten any information about my wife and news have been spreading about the death of Robin. But I knew that was a lie, he wasn't dead but alive. I guess he didn't want too much attention on him for the main time but that didn't make him less of the wicked person that he was.Today, I would be attending a conference where I would be talking about my wife's disappearance and the sum of money that would be given to anyone. While I prepared, I thought the entire time was futile but Matteo managed to convince me to give it a try. The moment I finished dressing up, Tomasso walked near me. He insisted on wanting to come along with me. Although he didn't fully remember Bella like he said to me but he knew that she has always been kind to him.When I was done getting prepared, Marco drove me to the place as usual. Getting there, the press conference started and Matteo read the agenda for the day and after a while, the questions started rolling in.

    Before I knew it, she broke into sob.I looked around just to check if anyone was watching us. I didn't want her to drag attention to our direction. I didn't have the strength to start explaining on why I was asking about Annabel. It was questionable because I didn't meet her here so anybody would want to know why I was curious about her and who had told me about her enough me to be curious.I shifted next to her and patted her back. “You see that's why we need to find out what exactly happened to her.”Suddenly Cassandra rose to her feet. “I can't handle it anymore, I missed my friends so bad.” Her voice was loud enough for everyone to hear and she got their attention. Everyone paused what they were doing and they glared towards our direction with confused expressions.“What's happening here?” Amelia's friend asked as she popped her chewing gun.“I don't know.” Amelia regarded Casandra with a look that seemed like she thought Cassandra was mad. “Why you suddenly talking about Annabel

    The usual was yet to happen. We were all dressed waiting for madam livia to come inside and then do her usual picking but she was no where to be found. I waited anxiously, tapping my heels against the tiles. Soon, I glanced at the wallclock next to me. It was 9:30pm, she usually showed up by 9:00 on the dot so this was new for me.Cassandra walked closer to me and sat on bed. “Hey,” she greeted.I shifted on the bed, giving her more space to sit on.“Seems like you're avoiding me.” She said, her tiny voice touching my ears.“Am I?” I asked my eyes widened.She nodded, her face morphing into a sad expression.“I'm sorry you feel that way.” I apologized and the across the room, I caught Lisa's stern eyes watching me.I made a gesture of zipping my mouth with my hands before Casandra could notice what I was doing. Lisa nodded and walked away.“It's alright,” she nooded with a tight lipped smile. “So how are you prepared for tonight's activities.”“I am not doing anything much to prepare.

    “We really don't have any choice.” I repeated and she frowned.“You're right but what is bad about a little girl that wants to hope?” She asked and shrugged.“Nothing.” I simply replied and she laughed. She was right. We had to keep our hopes alive, if we had no hope then we were as good as dead so therefore we must keep hopes alive so we may find a reason to keep going in this shitty place.We stayed together in silence for a little while and I decided to ask the question that has been on my lips for the longest while.“So how did you get here?” She looked at me and pressed her lips into a thin line. Then she stared straight ahead. Her silence unnerved me and I began to hope that I hadn't asked her anything in the first place.I cleared my throat. “Please pretend I never said anything. I'm sorry.” I apologized. I didn't want to ruin my friendship with her because I was being too nosy.She chuckled and waved a dismissive flick of her wrist. “I'll tell you.” She whispered while we sti

    The next morning when I woke up, I acted like nothing had happened. And like I hadn't already looked for a way to escape this hell hole of a place. I did my normal activities as usual and rested on my bed while I was done. Since I didn't have a phone here, I just looked up at the wooden bunk as I tried to observe all its intricate carvings. It was fascinating and most importantly, well done. It occurred to me that I missed my phone. I had been talking about how much I had missed my family but now I missed my phone. I thought about Tomasso and how he was doing. I wondered if he had finally regain his memory. Maybe my absence would make him remember my presence in his life.“...you.” Lisa drew my attention from my thoughts as she laid on my bed.“How are you doing?” I asked, straightening my posture and laying my back on the phone.“Well what can I say?” She asked a rhetorical question. “Must be really tough huh?” I chuckled. “Being the only that takes orders from madam livia everytime

    Bella hasn't been home in months. Her absence is loud so as the ache in my chest. I really wished I could have prevented her from not leaving the other night and as I continued to think of it, there wasn't much I could have done. Stefano is stubborn and she was the type to put her mind on something and have it done immediately and no matter how how I could have tried to stop her. I missed her so bad that it hurt me. This was the longest she had been far from me eversince we had gotten married. She was my other half, the bed felt too empty without her presnce, too wide and annoyingly big. I didn't need this much space to lie down. I couldn't even sleep. Each night I would imagine she was on the other side of the mind before I could sleep. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it felt like I was making a fool of myself. No imagination could fill the gap. It's either I had her or I didn't have her with me. Everything that we have done to search for her have proven to be futile. I was almost
