Chapter 46: Suicide AttemptFera’s POV“I am their daughter, I am not the one that will ruin their name.” She whispered as she fell into sleep. In her head, the image of her mother being loved by people cause she save lives kept flashing. People are sending gifts, some are inviting her to their wedding. A lot of them donate a huge amount of money which she gave to the different foundations, making her an angel to everyone. She was indeed kind and sophisticated. ‘Smile didn’t give me that look.’ she whispered in her ears. It was her birthday party and everyone was there, everyone she doesn’t know. After a jaw-numbing smile after an hour of picture taking, she was left at the corner. Her parents were nowhere to be found, they were entertaining their guests when it was her birthday. It did look like a birthday party but it wasn’t. It was business stuff, different negotiations happened.While her father was somewhere with his business partners, they run the party and the party was
Chapter 47: LeadBen’s POVBen choose to stay out of the room, he was watching them through the glass of the door. He watched how worried they are. His eyes fell on his cousin who lost his cool and was mad at the girl lying on the hospital bed, who he also love the most.‘This man will never think twice to share his knowledge about this with her.’ He thought and then he turned to the girl who was holding Fera’s other hand. ‘No one could ever read every Fuentes and their trusted people. Knowing she was the most trusted secretary of Mr. Fuentes, she wouldn’t stand where she was standing for nothing.’ He calculated her every move, small but he couldn’t estimate her experience.He got his phone out and messaged Nick that he was heading out. He randomly choose a room and got in there, he removed his pajamas, and he was wearing ready-to-go clothes inside. Then he had thrown it into the trash bin in that room. He waited until someone got in, he acted as if he was busy on his cellphone.
Chapter 48: Probable WitnessBen’s POVHe checked his phone to check for any updates from Nick. But he saw nothing so he went to the hospital security system and watched where he was. Then he saw Nick out of the room with Lora. “I missed something.” He mumbled and searched the footage of the previous hours and saw the footage of Fera waking up. ‘Scared that the killer might die?’ The first words she spoke since she woke up stopped them. ‘Ironic.’ She even commented when she heard no response. ‘What the hell are you talking about? No one is a killer, I know you didn’t do that.’ Nick took a step closer and tried to hold her hand but she moved it away. ‘Miss Fera, how are you feeling? I know this is hard but I am doing everything I can to get you out of this situation. I’m sorry you have to be in here.’ Lora said with a straight back and even lower her head to show respect. ‘No need, Lora. You have worked enough for my family. Do yourself a favor and leave it. I have prepared
Chapter 49: ReymondoNick’s POV“Who are you?” A deep voice of a man resounded followed by a faint footstep. Nick's frustration rose, ‘If he was just silent, we wouldn’t be heard right away.’ He mentally cursed Ben. His eyes widen when he suddenly stood and showed himself. Nick didn’t have the chance to grab him. “Good afternoon, sir. I am actually here to arrange a little survey. We received a report that this house was abandoned by an unidentified owner. My bad, I am Albert Temosa.” He heard him say so he was left with no choice but to stand and act calm. He saw him extend a hand for a handshake to a man that was in his forties holding a forty-five caliber gun.The old man didn’t look either convinced or suspicious to them, he looked at Ben straight without expression and accepted his hand. “Here’s my ID,” he even showed a fake ID while Nick looked around the house and check everything. He walked to them and extended his hand to Reymondo. “Kingston,” he only said and he acc
Chapter 50: Nana FellyFera’s POvThe annoying beep from her side kept her awake, she turned to the door when she heard it crack open. A nurse got in with her casual smile to check up on her. She shifted her gaze to the wall and let her do anything she want. The fear in her aura was beyond evident so she decide not to look at her. “Good evening, Miss Fera. How are you feeling?” She manage to maintain a calm voice but Fera didn’t bother answering. “I heard you don’t want to welcome any visitor,” she added. “So?”“I just thought that it might help you feel better if you could talk to someone special to your heart, their care would make you feel better.” She looked at her and stared at her fine small face. Her pinkish thin lips and beautiful eyes with perfect soft lashes. Her uniform fits well, she a typical neat girl, she was petite with average height. “Their care is a burden to me.” The shock on her face made her want to roll her eyes, ‘why does she have to look like an a
Chapter 51: Tied UpNick’s POVThey watched his car burn into ashes, they had a few scratches and a little burn on their back. They sat side by side by the road and from afar the old man watched them. He shook his head and got inside his house.“Now we are going to walk, what a great adventure.” Ben weakly commented and stood up. “My favorite watch broke, I hate this.” “Aren’t you going to be worried about your car?” He asked but Ben only cast a glance at his car. “It’s old and you can replace that. This watch is my favorite and I only want this, not a new one or even another that is much like this.” He answered and he started walking like the just gone out of a party.“Childish.”“Oh! You are more childish, believe me.” His calm rebuts and unaffected tone was irritating him. “See? You can’t contain your emotion.” “I can’t believe we are talking about this when we will be walking a three hours ride.” Ben only slid his hand into his pocket.“I can’t believe you haven’t got
Chapter 52: Another GroupNick’s POV He instantly stood up and ran to the door. It was locked but Ben got a hair pin and he easily opened it. They didn’t know where to run but they traced the only hallway and found the stair down. The exchange of bullets didn’t stop so they took the opportunity to escape. He jump up back when he saw someone coming and pointing his gun at him. They ran back and found a window. Ben checked it but they were on the third floor of that abandoned building. “Sh*t!” They stood against the wall while facing the man with a gun. They both raised their hand but in just a snap a small pocket knife stuck on his forehead exactly in the middle. His eyes widen and looked at Ben. “Do I have a choice?” Ben asked him so he didn’t respond. It was a life and death situation and Ben chose to kill than get killed. Nick was in shock so Ben pulled him to run, he pick the gun and got some bullets. “I should have done this alone,” he heard Ben whisper and pulled h
Chapter 53: LoraHe suddenly felt a sharp pain on his shoulder followed by a cold drip of liquid down to his arm. But he never took his eyes on him, he barely blink while glaring at the skinny man. “Ernan! Stand back!” The fat man shouted at him and he bow down.“I apologize, Sir. His disrespect was unacceptable.”“Whatever, look at the young man. Have you seen how brave he was? He didn’t even flinch.” His amused eyes lingered around him. “How old are you?”He didn’t answer him so he stood straight and nodded. “How old is he?” He asked the skinny one.“He is seventeen years old, the only son of the Hernandez-” someone came in and signaled the skinny guy called Ernan, “Robert has words for you.” And the masked guy who came in walked to him. He saw him whisper something and the boss look at Nick. “Chain him well, and put him down.” He said before he walked out. They checked his chain and added one. They put down Ben and chain him on a chair. After checking it all he went out an
