Chapter 27 : The Diary

last update Last Updated: 2022-06-21 17:01:08

Angela spent another sleepless night in the pink room after dinner at Red Elephant Restaurant. And Lara's enraged gaze that was fixed on her was troubling. Leonardo's decisions were centered on her, including his command. "Find Esmeralda's killers." Leonardo's voice was constantly reverberating in her head. And no matter how hard she tried to push it away to think about it later, it popped up now and then. So, at ten p.m., she decided to take a breather outside the house.

It was a cold night outside in the swing. Angela, on the other hand, was unconcerned. She wished to wash away the events of the restaurant. Leonardo's disparaging remarks about Lara and Lara's uncontrollable sarcasm about her are a silent war for her against Lara. But the hardest of Leonardo's statements to Angela that night was when he said, "No, it's not just an ordinary statement, it sounds more like a command. "Find Esmeralda's killer." Angela leaned against the swing's back support to think about what Leonardo had said to her. How could I find Esmeralda's killer when it happened a long time ago and the case was closed to the conclusion that she committed suicide?

"Good to see you in the distance with your knight and shining armor," Lara says slurringly from the back. Angela was unaware that Lara had returned to Vera's mansion. And she's relieved to see Angela alone on the lawn. "Pack your belongings in the pink room and return to your previous room," Lara said histrionically. She was high on something.

Angela couldn't think of anything to say to her that wouldn't make her explode in a rage. She didn't want to wake anyone in the house, but she had to do what Leonardo asked. "I cannot and will not."

"You're now the lady of the house, bitch." She said sarcastically.

"Name me whatever you want, but the pink room is already taken," Angela stated flatly. "It's now mine."

"What do you mean it's yours?" Lara exclaimed, "Who gave you the authority to claim it?"

"It was my boss's wish to give me the pink room, and I gladly accepted it. Who would have thought that a simple nurse like me would be given a room and things to enjoy? " Angela smiled again, "Leonardo, grant me, or let me say, give me all of Esmeralda's belongings."

"No! It's not going to happen. Because I am his fiancée, he must tell me what should be done in that room. I've also changed my mind. I'm willing to take up residence in that room and fulfill all of Leonardo's desires. So pack your belongings and exit that room. "

Lara vented her rage at Angela, but it didn't change Angela's mind about accepting Leonardo's offer. "Let Leonardo decide if you want to occupy that room."

Lara dashed inside, leaving Angela on the swing. Angela anticipated what would happen next and counted the minutes until she heard the banging of doors inside the mansion. She realized that Leonardo didn't give in to Lara's nagging.

Mrs. Gale came out of the house and joined Angela. "A war broke out inside the house once more."

Angela sighed, "I know, she wanted to take over the pink room."

"She can't possibly win against Leonardo." Mrs. Gale smiled as she said, "She'll end up yelling and cursing until she dies."

Mrs. Gale's statements had piqued Angela's interest. It expressed negative feelings toward Lara's demeanor. "She was always rude and irritating, and she despised Esmeralda's presence in the mansion." And she added, "It should have been the evil who died that day."

"What do you mean, Mrs. Gale?" Angela caught a feeling of obscurity in Mrs. Gale’s tone.

The old woman’s face got saddened as she stared out at the blinking light below. Even in the darkness of the night, her expression was visible, the sadness was unbearable, and she whispered something to Angela. "She was the princess in this house before that bitch surfaced." She was in distress.

"It’s you who discovered Esmeralda’s body on the cliff below the veranda, right?" Angela asked.

"Yes," Mrs. Gale said, "It was the most gruesome and depressing day of my life." Mrs. Gale murmured. The old woman’s face became pale and troubled. "And I couldn’t forget what happened that day." She cried and trembled, "Esmeralda was gay the night before, and in the morning things were different. She became restless and agitated, and I knew then that she was troubled by something painful for her to admit. And when I asked her what bothered her, she’d just cry and cry, and during lunch, she was gone. We all went to find her and combed the whole house but failed to see her. " She took a deep breath. "In the afternoon, I decided to climb up the studio’s rooftop, and from there, I saw Esmeralda’s body lying on the ground below like a doll." She cried hard and then got angry. "It should be Lara." She gritted. "She must be lying down there. That wicked woman should be the one who died that day."

Angela could sense Mrs. Gale's anguish at the time. She adored Esmeralda and sympathized with her plight at the hands of the man she adored the most.

"Go get your things, Angela," Lara yelled angrily as the main door swung open.

"I don't think so," Angela stated categorically. "No one can stay in that room while I'm here. It's late, and I need to sleep for my work tomorrow. " Angela walked out, not paying attention to Lara's ranting. She went by Leonardo's room and told him she wasn't giving up the pink room, to which he replied, "Good."

Angela dozed off as soon as her back touched the bed. Angela awoke in the morning to frantic door knocking after a sleepless night. It was Lara again, and when the door opened, she entered and looked around, then opened the drawer containing Esmeralda's clip collection and chose one.

"Return that," Angela demanded.

"And who are you to demand that I put this back?" She smiled cunningly, "Neither is this yours." She clipped her hair.

"Those things have been given to me since last night."

"Who gave you permission to own this hairclip?" Lara smirked.

"Leonardo has given me all of Esmeralda's belongings in this room," Angela stated flatly, "and if you have any questions about that, don't hesitate to ask. You can confirm it with Leonardo. Please exit the room now. As of now, this is my domain."

"You bitch, you'll pay me for this, the humiliation I endured," Lara exclaimed as she exited enraged.

Angela returned a few minutes later with a cup of coffee for Leonardo. He was freshened up and dressed in new house clothes, sitting at the edge of the bed. "I overheard your argument with Lara early this morning. What happened? "

"You have an alert hearing, huh?" She said as she poured the coffee. "The coffee is hot."

"Of course, who couldn't hear Lara's wail?" Leonardo stated, "Remember that our rooms were only a few meters away."

"She wanted to get some of Esmeralda's hair clips," Angela sighed and added that Lara was insistent on remaining in the room. She's no longer terrified of the room. "She wants to relive Esmeralda."

Lara entered with a cup of coffee after the door opened. "Here is your... coffee, Leonardo."

"I have one hot cup of coffee already, Lara." Return it to the kitchen. "

"What will I do to make you warm with me again, Leonardo?" Lara was fuming.

"Perhaps you should go home and return when I regain my sight, Lara." Leonardo said frankly, "That would be the best setup for us right now." He sighed, "But I can't go back in time. Please also leave us alone. I need to talk to my nurse about something important. "

Lara slammed the door behind her with annoyance. Leonardo exhaled a sigh. "She'd deteriorated."

"How do you feel about Lara, Leonardo?"

"I already told you that I loved and planned to marry Esmeralda," Leonardo sighed, "but Lara got in the way and ruined everything for us, and it was entirely my fault. And I want to give Esmeralda justice and atone for my sins. Also, to be at ease. I had to find out who killed her. And you need to find something important that Esmeralda had. "

Angela asked, staring at Leonardo. "What exactly is that thing?"

Leonardo declared solemnly, "Please, find Esmeralda's diary."

Angela saw hope in discovering what happened to Esmeralda after learning that she kept a diary. Angela considered a diary to be a personal possession that no other human being was permitted to open. "That's an individual's treasure, Leonardo. I'm not going to open Esmeralda's diary. "

Leonardo lamented. "There’s no other way to find the truth than to know the truth about what she felt and experienced in the past. I need to know how she suffered as a result of my actions, Angela. " Please find Esmeralda’s diary and bring it to me. "

    Angela could feel her adrenaline pumping. She couldn't wait to get her hands on Esmeralda's diary. Leonardo was correct; Esmeralda's diary would provide answers to all of their questions. She'd gone through every drawer and cupboard in the pink room, but the diary was nowhere to be found. She decided to visit the orchards after an hour of futile investigation. "Esmeralda, where did you put it?" She said quietly as the cold wind touched her cheek. She was standing beneath the fruitful trees, looking up at the pink room, with a portion of the window open. She was reminded of Lara's pale face as she gazed at Esmeralda's pink room. Was she capable of assassinating Esmeralda? Angela pondered. But the way she reacted to Esmeralda was both meek and fearful. Esmeralda frightened her. And Leonardo's conviction that Esmeralda had been murdered blew up everything, including her thoughts. And yes, Angela concluded, Lara had every reason to kill Esmeralda because of their rivalry. That's why she w

    The sound of the running water from the faucet filled the air late that night. Everyone was in their room as Angela washed her bleeding finger, cut by the razor-sharp knife she found in the cupboard drawer in the pink room. Angela wondered what that knife was doing in the drawer. Although it was only 4 inches long, its sharpness was capable of killing. What are you doing in the cupboard? Angela pondered. She then placed the knife on the table and stared at it for a while."Someone was keeping you inside the room for a purpose," Angela concluded. "You’re a kitchen knife and you should stay here in the kitchen and not in the drawer of a young lady."The next day, early in the morning, Angela was the first in the kitchen. She was having a hot coffee when Mrs. Vera entered. "Would you like me to prepare coffee for you, Mrs. Vera?""Yes, please, Angela. And thank you, "Mrs. Vera took the chair facing the living room." "You’re too early." Did my son bother you to wake up so early? ""No, I j

    The art exhibit was attended by everyone in Vera Mansion. Mrs. Vera was in her golden yellow straight-cut gown. She looked stunning in it, even at her age. And Mrs. Gale was happy in her navy-blue dress. The atmosphere of the mansion was a bit gay. Leonardo was acting normal lately. Only Lara was bragging every day about Leonardo’s distance from her. It was already seven in the morning, and at ten o’clock was the event’s opening. Lara was on the phone with Fredrick, who was asking her to go ahead with the rest. And she was forced to fly fast ahead before Leonardo and the rest. After a few moments, Leonardo came out into the living room in his tuxedo and silver cane. "Is Angela here?" "Not yet, Leonardo," Mrs. Vera answered. "You look handsome in that tuxedo I bought for you from Paris, my son." She smiled. "Angela!" Leonardo called out. "I’m coming!" Angela had almost fallen on the floor as she ran from the corridor to his room. "Ups, sorry. It’s my first time in a body-fit long go

Only Mrs. Vera had inquired."Is it still early to go home, Leonardo?" Mrs. Vera wondered if anything was wrong."I'm not feeling well, mom." Leonardo cut her off and remained silent.Leonardo went straight to his room and requested a bottle of wine from Angela. Angela wanted to oppose, but she knew something was boiling inside Leonardo's heart and mind, so she let it flow. Leonardo drank quietly in the corner of the room, crossing his legs on the floor.And Angela decided to sit at the edge of the bed near the door. She kept staring at Leonardo silently, afraid to say a word that might rile his temper."Traitor," Leonardo murmured."Who?" Angela asked."I couldn’t believe they could do that to me." Leonardo groaned, "Trying to scam the art exhibit was unbelievably unacceptable to me. He’s my

    The path up the cliff was steep and rocky beneath the dense forest and bushes. The unpassed path was also dangerous for Leonardo, who was blind. He was determined, however, to touch the ground where Esmeralda had died a long time ago. "It's too difficult to pursue the location, Leonardo," but Leonardo was not returning. Angela slid and fell to the ground a few meters away from the spot."Ouch!" Angela cried as she placed her hand on the ground to keep herself from slamming her entire body."Angela!" Leonardo screamed, concerned. "What's going on?""I slipped and fell," Angela explained in pain, "but I'm fine now.""Did you injure yourself?""I got a cut on my palm, but I'm fine.""Are you sure?""Certainly."Leonardo didn't realize that Angela's palm was bleeding and she was simply gripping it tightly to control the blood flow. Leonardo told her to look up at the veranda behind his studio and estimate the exact spot on the ground where Esmeralda's body had been broken and twisted as t

    Leonardo remained silent after hearing Angela's confession. "How come you hit him with a rock?" "He wanted to rape me," Angela recalled, shaking her head. Leonardo gritted his teeth as he listened to Angela's story. She was certain she had killed Fredrick, but she needed to be certain. So, she asked Leonardo for permission to return to the cliff. But Leonardo had decided to accompany her. The ground where Fredrick was bloodily lying was wet from the rain, and he was nowhere to be found. Angela was tortured by not knowing what happened to Fredrick. Did he survive, or was he discovered and brought to a hospital? She reflected. They did not stay on the cliff for long. Angela was too nervous, so Leonardo let her go to her room early. But Angela couldn't sleep. She spent the entire afternoon calling all of the hospitals in the city using the directory, but she couldn't find Fredrick. And they still don't know what happened to him the next day. Angela dialed Fredrick's number, but no one

    The morning came, but Angela hadn’t slept after opening the first page of Esmeralda’s diary. She didn’t have the guts to read it. She felt she had no right to intrude on Esmeralda’s secret, so she closed it and laid it inside the drawer. The only person who had the right to hear its content was Leonardo.The lobby from the pink room was quiet, and it gave Angela creepy feelings. She felt like eyes were looking at her, watching what she was doing. That’s why she made the room secure from any silent rummager. But she was aware that if anything happened to the diary, Mrs. Vera would be held accountable because she had the spare key to the room.Angela heard the conversation from outside the house. Leonardo and Mrs. Vera were talking to a stranger. The man was tall and masculine. He was probably between the ages of 36 and 40. A few minutes later, she learned that Leonardo had hired a house guard. "This is Angela, my nurse. And she'd been with us for quite some time. "Following the introd

    "Why are you so interested in acquiring Esmeralda's diary, mom?" Leonardo's face was serious, but Mrs. Vera couldn't give him a satisfactory reason for taking the diary. Mrs. Vera simply stated that she was looking for it to keep for Esmeralda, which is insufficient for Leonardo, but she persists. She kept on rubbing her hands. The night had gotten colder, but Angela was feeling hot on her face and ears. The tension was unavoidable."How about paying attention to what's written on the page where Esmeralda mentioned her concern about my father?" Leonardo suggested to his mother that he ask Angela to read for Mrs. Vera. In the middle of Angela's reading, her mother burst into tears, trembling and leaning against the wall for support, clearly devastated by Esmeralda's fear of her husband."Do you have any idea about dad sneaking into Esmeralda's room, mom?" Leonardo’s voice had a deep and dead tone.Mrs. Vera turned to look at her son, with tears racing down her cheeks, while Angela was

However, she cut her elbow with the knife she was holding. Mrs. Gale then prepared for another attack, but a gunshot echoed through the tunnel, causing it to shake."Stop it, Mrs. Gale!" Leonardo's voice came in frantically. His steps echoed as he dashed in to prevent Mrs. Gale from attacking Angela again. But she was fighting to be free of Leonardo. And screamed. "You're going to die, Leonardo," Mrs. Vera hissed at him."You have to stop now, Mrs. Gale," Leonardo yelled, yanking her black shirt back and ripping it off. Then, Leonardo purposefully lit Mrs. Gale's back shoulder and noticed the rose tattoo that Camilla Mantissa had told him about. It also confirmed Mrs. Atilla Gale's identity as Mrs. Rosamarie Gale Mantissa. "You'll die like your father, Leonardo," Mrs. Gale yelled as she prepared to stab him. Because of this, Leon

    Angela shook as she entered the pink room. It was a duplicate of the pink room above. And she wondered why it was built beneath the mansion, hidden from the master's bedroom door. The blood on the floor, however, made her tremble. Whose blood is this? She reflected.She slid open the cupboard attached to the wall, just as she had done in the pink room above, but there was one significant difference between the two replicated rooms: the chained chair in the nook. Angela touched the chair's arms and realized it was similar to an electric chair, with straps attached at the back that appeared to serve as a body strap.She took a step back as if her fingers had been burned by touching it. There was a stumbling sound coming from outside the room, followed by steps running in. Angela hid in the cupboard's back corner. Mrs. Vera's screaming voice, asking for help, filled the room as the steps became louder. Angela ran as fast as she could to find Mrs. Vera's voice, but it was cut off the ai

    Angela was running fast and screaming for help, but the heavy rain began to fall, and her voice was drowned out. She struggled on the wet ground as she tried to see if the second gate, unlike the first, was unlocked. Her eyes were blurry from rain drops as she was completely soaked when she stumbled on the ground and her foot got caught on something. A man's body was found on the ground. Angela screamed as she recognized the man; he was the guard she was looking for, and he was dead. She crawled away from the corpse and struggled to run towards the second gate at the back of the mansion. But, frustrated by the locked gate, she screamed angrily. She shook from the cold and fear. The fence was too high to climb to exit the gate. "The gun," she remembered and ran back to the house. As she entered the living room, the floor became soaked. She tightened her grip on the knife and kept her ears alert. She dashed to the kitchen to check on Mrs. Gale, but she was no longer on the ground. "Mrs

Angela had a low tolerance for waiting, especially when it came to Leonardo. She was not comfortable with the fact that there was a mysterious tunnel beneath the mansion. She could feel that something ominous was going on in the house. And that lady in white was a great threat to all of them. Whoever she is, she must be stopped.Mrs. Gale joined her later. Mrs. Gale smiled. "Leonardo is fortunate to have you as a life partner. You're free to marry now that Lara is no longer in his life. Leonardo had only gotten a headache from that b*tch. It's a good thing she's in jail now. Better for her." "I thought you liked Lara for Leonardo," Angela said, looking at her."I've disliked Lara since the first time I met her. She was arrogant and cunning. She's fortunate to have been freed from the tunnel. " Mrs.

    "Here's your coffee, Mrs. Vera," Angela said as she placed the cup on the living room table. Mrs. Vera was concerned about her son's journey. Mrs. Gale was in the kitchen preparing their lunch. They were all very excited about Leonardo's trip. Angela, on the other hand, was more interested in seeing the house blueprints."I'm afraid Leonardo was correct," Mrs. Gale said as she entered the living room, placing the bowl of cookies on the couch across from Angela. "What if we're not the only ones in this house?"Angela smiled as she remembered a movie, she saw a long time ago. A house with a secret passage beneath the floor. It's a horror film that she didn't bother watching all the way through.Mrs. Gale, on the other hand, insisted on her terrifying imagination about a haunted house."I don't believe in ghosts," Angela said softly."You have to," Mrs. Vera responded quietly. "I could feel it. Someone is watching us. They're keeping tabs on everything we do.” Mrs. Vera told them about h

    Leonardo was holding a flashlight in his right hand, and Angela was holding one as well. They were looking at the secret door behind the cabinet in the studio's basement. "Are you sure you want to come with me?" Leonardo asked Angela one last time. "You can wait for me here.""I'll go." Angela insisted, "Waiting is the worst thing for me. I'd like to assist you in learning the truth about this house. This tunnel was constructed for a reason. That is a fact. And it was concealed from your mother. ""If she's telling the truth," Leonardo stated flatly."You doubted your mother?""She had kept my father's terrible secrets from me. She had no reason to lie to me about this tunnel.""I can see it in her eyes that she's telling you the truth," Angela said as she walked ahead of Leonardo into the tunnel's dark hole.After a few minutes of walking, they returned to the room where Lara was being held captive. "This room was designed for a crime," Leonardo mused."You're right," Angela said as

    "Keep an eye on your steps, Angela," Leonardo warned as the two waved their flashlights inside the tunnel. Leonardo kept Angela's gaze fixed on the tunnel they were following, which led them into a door. They also smelled a foul odor in the tunnel, like dead rats. And they discovered things inside the dreadful room, where they found a black bag containing a bottle of acid and a man's cap."I remember this cap," Angela raised the cap and looked at Leonardo, "this is the cap of the man who threw acid in my face." She also discovered fatigue pants and a jacket on the corner. Angela recognized all of them as her assailant's belongings."So, Lara was to blame for your scarred face," Leonardo grumbled. "And now she'll have to pay for it.""Did you happen to know about this tunnel, Leonardo?" Angela inquired."No."They all gathered in the living room to talk about and analyze what had happened that night. Mrs. Gale was making coffee for everyone. Mrs. Vera was still trembling as she imagine

    It's a coincidence. Her stolen pose and appearance in Leonardo's house were entirely coincidental, and she couldn't believe her eyes when she saw her face on the canvas. But it was genuine.

The sky was too dark, with not a single star blinking. She then stood up to close the window when she noticed a white image below it. It was just a repeat of what had happened before. A woman in a wedding gown was walking around. Angela dashed as fast as she could to reveal the truth. But when she arrived at the studio's patio, the image had vanished, and Leonardo had exited the building."What happened?" Leonardo, concerned, inquired.

She tried to break free from him, but he was stronger, and she knew who she was. "Andrew?""Angela, I can't take it any longer." Andrew drew her into his arms as she remembered what Fredrick had done to her."Andrew? What exactly are you doing? " Angela pushed him away from her."I love you, and I want you to be mine."
