One morning, Angela came in early to clean Leonardo's room. Leonardo was on the side of his bed when Angela entered. He suddenly turned at the door where Angela stood. His hearing was getting sharper. He sniffed the air. He wanted  to recognize who came in.

"You're a stubborn woman!" Leonardo's voice echoed.

But Angela was like a rock that sparkles in a rage when struck. And the more enraged Leonardo showed, the tougher she became. "No one has a soft head, unless you're abnormal."

"Get out, please," Leonardo growled, his jaw gritting.

"I have to clean your room and bathe you later." Angela began quietly picking up some messes on the floor.

"What should I do to get you out?" He groaned.

"You don't have to do anything because I wouldn’t go out without you taking a bath and putting on new clothes," she declared casually, "You stink." She opened the cupboard for Leonardo's shirt and trousers.

She stood in front of the open cupboard silently, staring at the thick, hung clothes.

"It's really different when you're rich. I'm confused about what to choose for you to wear. She turned to Leonardo and said, "Any suggestions on what you want to wear?

Leonardo was silently looking at the floor. He was unresponsive. 

Angela stared at him. "Let life be easier for me, please."

"Leave me alone."

"You know I can't," she sighed. "Tell me what your favorite color is."

Leonardo's voice was hard as he replied, "What do you think? Would I be happy to wear my favorite color? " He said grimly, "Are you stupid?"

"I'm not stupid. I'm just asking so I can give you what you want. You know. It’s a refreshing feeling in fresh clean clothes."

"Do you really want to give me happiness?" Leonardo tilted his head.

"Of course. My priority is my patient’s happiness. " She stated as she started to touch Leonardo's clothes. 

Leonardo was immobile in his bed, but his fists were tight and his forehead was sweating. The air-conditioning in the room was on high, but he was still soaked with sweat. "Kill me." He murmured.

Angela grimaced as she heard Leonardo's words. "Are you going to turn me into a criminal?"

"Kill me, and you'll be able to help me."

"What am I, a fool?" Angela joked, "If you die in my care, I will stay in jail, and that will not happen. Living in prison is not heaven. I have criminal friends and... They were in pain inside. What a sad life. I don't want to go to prison." She sighed, "This is it; I've already chosen what's best for you," she said quickly, pulling red t-shirt and gray trousers from the cupboard.

Leonardo frowned. 

She smiled. "I'm pretty sure you'd look energetic in this shirt, and it's a beautiful day today."

"Every day is doom for a blind man!" exclaimed Leonardo. "Are you crazy?"

Angela stared at Leonardo, frowning. She knew he would give her a hard time, but that was part of the plan. 

Leonardo grumbled, "Maybe I should tell you this. I have no respect for women like you! " He snorted, "All of you have brought bad luck for me!" 

"And why have you said that?"

"I became blind because of a stupid woman who crossed the street!" He was gasping for breath. "You're all stupid! Crossing the road like crossing the park is the stupidest thing to do!"

"Don’t forget. Your mother is a woman too," Angela got mad and said, "And stop yelling like that. Women are more responsible than men. We’re more sensitive and sensible than men. Hammer that into your brain. "

"If it weren’t for that stupid woman, I wouldn’t have been able to crash and go blind!" He shouted more. "You women are the scourge of my life!"

"You're the idiot." She yelled, "You hold the steering wheel, so you're the only one with the power to save yourself." Maybe the reason why you crashed... was because you don't care. And... "It's your fault you went blind," Angela said, stunned as she let go of her pent-up rage.

Leonardo stood up like a child and stepped towards the wall in his room.

"What happened to you is all your fault,"

He swooped down on Angela and clutched her arms."You bitch."

"Let go of me!" She didn't see it coming.

But Leonardo was deaf to her and continuously gripped her arms so tightly that it hurt her.

Angela cried in pain.

"You girls are fierce, especially you!" He grabbed her hair. "And you have to pay for everything!" His mouth was in her ear.

"You're the one who made a mess of your life. Just you and no one else! " Angela pushed him harder and kicked his balls.

Leonardo wailed in pain. Knelt down and groaned, "Kill me! Get a knife and stab me in the neck.”

"I’m not an executioner." Angela yelled back, "Harm yourself, but never expect me to do it. Anyway, blind people are helpless. And death is far from you. "

"What kind of nurse are you? Why do you talk like that? " Leonardo was getting angrier. "Why are you against me?"

"Being a nurse, it’s my sole responsibility to take care of you and to keep you alive. Don’t expect me to go along with your nasty plan. Bear whatever pain you’re enduring right now. Because that’s meant for you alone. You became blind because...

"Because of what?" Leonardo gritted.

"Because... What you plant is what you harvest."

Leonardo's voice was pleading, "I can't go back in time, so kill me." He was shaking, and his face was very pale. And his eyes were moist with tears.

Angela stared at him like a stone.

"Pay close attention to what I'm saying," he said. "There’s a pistol in my father's drawer in the other room. The key to the room was hidden beneath the pot of fake roses outside the door. Get the pistol from the drawer and bring it here. Shoot me. Kill me. "

Angela realized this was her chance to exact revenge on Leonardo. All she'd do was look for the pistol and give it to Leonardo so he could kill himself with it. To support his suicide plan was the best way to make him vanish.

"Don't worry, you won't get caught," Leonardo continued. "All you have to do is take that pistol and hand it over to me. That's all. Then you can leave the room, and I'd take care my own death with the pistol. Okay, go--- get my father's pistol. "

"I’m not that naive?" She snorted. "The way you commanded, you sounded like... you’re just buying horseradish. What am I, a fool? " She moved to the closet and opened it, looking for Leonardo's underwear. "Of course. No matter what happened to you, it would always lead to me as the number one suspect for your death. Even if you’d use your father’s gun. That pistol doesn't have legs to get into your hands. I also have brain, you know."

Leonardo snarled, "You're a wordy woman; get lost if you don't want to help me."

"I'd leave you in peace after you took a bath and tidied this room," she joked, adding, "You're just blind and not dead." She then began cleaning the room by picking up all the clutter. "Don't be in such a rush; death will come in no time."

"Living in the dark would drive you insane." Leonardo.

"Not if you're willing to accept it."

Leonardo crawled across the floor on his back.

"What is it? What exactly is that lying on the floor game? "

"Pick me up if you want to clean my room," Leonardo said, trying to keep his game going, before falling silent and opening his arms like Jesus Christ on the cross.

"Get up," Angela commanded.

"Pick me up to get me up," he murmured.

"So, you want to play a game with me?"

"Yes, if gaming is what you call this."

"Okay, that’s your body and you can do whatever you want with it. You can lie there for years. Pee there, sleep there. And don’t expect me to clean up your mess if that happens. " Angela sat at the bed’s edge and braced herself.

Suddenly, Leonardo got up from lying down and shouted again. "Get out. I don't want to smell your perfume. "

"And why?"

"I just don't like that scent."

"Is it because it's a cheap perfume?" Angela asks again, "Well, that's the difference between the rich and the poor. You rich people always want us out of your way. You always make harsh comments on our lifestyle. You thought you were being favored by God. What you don't realize is that when we die, we all have the same form of skull. Bet me. Your skull and mine would have the slightest difference. My skull would be mistaken for yours."

"The brevity of what I said, the height of your response," Leonardo frowned. "You go out!"

"Yes, I'm coming out; I forgot your breakfast."

"I'm not going to eat!" Leonardo yelled.

"You will eat! Even if you don’t want to, you will eat! " Angela was talking as she opened the door and bumped into Mrs. Vera and Mrs. Gale, who were at the door outside Leonardo’s room.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Have you been there long? " Angela was shocked.

"We were about to enter the room when we heard your argument," Mrs. Vera said.

"Mom, look for another nurse." Leonardo requested.

Mrs. Vera frowned, "Why?"

"That woman is rude. She has no respect for me. Find a new nurse." Leonardo insisted.

When Angela suddenly spoke, "Excuse me, Mrs. Vera. I should have prepared your son’s breakfast. "

Leonardo yelled, "I'm not going to eat!"

"I know you will!" Angela yelled back and left the rest staring.

Mrs. Vera and Mrs. Gale looked at each other, and there was a smile on their faces.

    Mrs. Gale was approaching her quickly, raising her knife-wielding hand to kill her.Angela swooped down from her side and pushed Mrs. Gale against the wall. 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

  • YOUR EYES ARE MINE   Chapter 56 : The Special Room

    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

  • YOUR EYES ARE MINE   Chapter 55 : The Second Discovery

    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

  • YOUR EYES ARE MINE   Chapter 54 : A Nada Trip

    It was already 8 p.m. when Mrs. Vera retired to her room She was not feeling well. Angela waited for Leonardo's call a little longer. But hours had passed and she had received no calls. 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
