Chapter 31
Louisa's p.o.v;I was looking at Ace who was sleeping on the bed beside me and the one who looked cute when he's drunk. This is the first time I'm seeing him getting drunk. I saw him drinking before but never saw him getting wasted. He apologised a lot of times in one night. I don't know if I could forgive but I'm sure I can't forget it. I turned off the lights and laid beside him, facing him. "Did you know that I got worried when you didn't show up? I must be insane, right? To be worried about class one mafia. I wonder who you are underneath all of this. I'm getting confused about who's the real one sometimes. Is it the one who's outside the room, murdering almost everyone or the one who's beside me, being nice and warm. Whoever you are, Please, don't make it difficult for me." I closed my eyes and fell asleep. The next morning, I woke up to the noises from the kitchen. I got out of the bed and walked straight to the kitchen and asked Ace, who was doing something on the stove, "W

Louisa's p.o.v;After the party, I went to my place. I changed my clothes and took a look at the recipe I got from Lily. After looking at the recipe, I decided to bake the cake so that it'll rest for a day. I placed the ingredients I needed for the batter and for the frosting on the kitchen table. First, I started with the process of burnt honey. It is not literally burning but caramelising the honey. I took a saucepan, poured honey and turned the flame to medium and stirred it continuously. Lily told me to cook the honey for eight to ten minutes so let's do it like she said. After ten minutes, the honey turned caramel in colour so I turned off the flame and added a few drops of cold water to stop it from cooking further. I set aside the burnt honey to cool down and took another saucepan to heat butter, sugar, burnt honey and regular honey altogether. After five minutes, I added baking soda and started whisking it until the colour changed while giving tiny bubbles. After it cooled

Louisa's p.o.v;The next morning,I woke up to the alarm sound, which felt like it was ringing inside my head. Didn't I turn it off last night? I took my phone and turned it off. When I tried to lay down again, I saw the empty space beside me. Ace wasn't there like he said last night. He left before I woke up. I let out a sigh and stared at the ceiling. Finally, my mother's words came true again. I can't keep anyone beside me, somehow they'll leave either it'll be me or their wish. This time, it is by both of them. I got up from the bed and walked out of my room to get some water. When I opened the fridge, I saw the cake I made for Ace. Shit! I totally forgot that I baked a cake for him. What should I do now? If I take this cake to him, what will he think of me? I feel bad about myself. At Least i shouldn't be mad at him yesterday. What can I do if he orders me around? I blamed the cake, "Your boss is so bad. Because of him, you're going to go to someone else." My phone rang. When

Louisa's p.o.v;After finishing my work in the cafe, I went to my apartment. I looked around for Ace forgetting what happened yesterday. When it hit, I felt confused about myself. Why did I search for him in the first place? Wasn't I just a fling for him? Let's stop thinking about him.When I dropped on the couch, I remembered the cake I made for Ace. How did I forget it? What am I going to do with the cake now? Back in the cafe, when Ryan and Lily asked for the cake, I said that I hadn't started preparing yet. I can't believe I lied shamelessly for a cake. Urggh!I opened the refrigerator, took the cake out and walked out of the apartment, closing the door behind. After some hours, I stood in front of Ace's house. I must be really crazy to come here. I ringed and waited outside the house. Someone opened the door and asked for my identity. While I was explaining, Mateo saw me and asked, "Louisa, what are you doing here?" He told the guy who opened the door to leave and asked me to c

If I can't get any leads, I'm dropping this search and going to put an end to it. Danielle, "Hey Lou!" She gave me a hug and said, "Thank you for showing up early. But I have yet to get my certificate from the principal inside the college and the ceremony will take place here in the open space. If you don't mind, can you please wait here with others?""Yeah, no problem. I'll wait.""Thank you again, Louisa. My friends are waiting inside. I'll get back to them. See ya at the ceremony." She walked into the building.I took a seat in the open space area she mentioned. It was literally an open stage for the students to celebrate their graduation. I looked around and saw parents, siblings, friends gathered here for their sons and daughters on their graduation ceremony. When I looked at them, I thought, 'I'm

Louisa's p.o.v;I woke up to the alarm which I forgot to turn off again. After turning it off, I got out of the bed and walked to the kitchen since I felt hungry as I woke up. When I opened the refrigerator, it was empty. Did I forget to buy groceries again? It's difficult to get used to living alone after having a roommate around. After a shower, I must hit a convenience store otherwise I have to go to nearby food stalls again. I took the egg out of the refrigerator and made Scrambled eggs out of it. After having scrambled eggs for breakfast, I took a shower and walked out of the apartment to go to a convenience store. After a while, I arrived at the convenience store. I looked for bread, eggs, butter and cheese which is the easiest breakfast to prepare in the morning once I wake up. Once I got everything, I walked around to look for instant noodles. Since I'm going to stay at my apartment during the holidays, should I look for another part time job? If I wanted to go, what kind o

Louisa's p.o.v;After a week, At hospital, in front of Bernie's room,"Did you get that driver now?" I asked Raphael about the person who ran away after the accident. Raphael answered, "Like i already said, the driver's face wasn't registered in the surveillance camera in that street. Moreover there wasn't any camera where the accident occurred. The car number is also fake. I couldn't get any information about this case."I got mad after hearing him say, "The driver couldn't be traced. The car plate number is fake. Are you saying that he fell down from the sky…" i stopped shouting at him and realised that it could be Pandora gang. They already sent someone to spy on me. And they hurt Antonio when he tried to keep an eye on Bernie. This could definitely be them. I continued to Raphael, "Find him soon, Raphael." And walked into Bernie's room. Everly was feeding him the food using a spoon while Bernie was whining to her. After seeing me, Bernie complained to me, "Louisa, i said my ha

Louisa's p.o.v;At cafe, Ryan, "Why are you here early?" I leaned on the table and said, "It's so boring being alone at my place. Do you know some cafes that are looking for a part timer?" "There's a reason why they're giving you a holiday after an exam. You should make use of it by taking a rest for your mind and body.""But I'm bored.""What will you do when you're usually on holiday?""I watch movies and order some takeaways.""Is that how you really spend your time?"I nodded and asked, "How do you spend yours?" "I'll go trekking with my friends, mountain climbing and camping stuff.""Sounds fun.""Why don't you try it and see if it's fun?""First, I should have friends to do those things. I don't have many friends like you. I totally have two friends. Bernardo and Diego. It became three when I got close to Bernardo's girlfriend, Everly.""Why don't you pay a visit to your parents since you're free?" I let out a sigh and said, "Won't you miss me if i go?""I won't.""You're n

Louisa's p.o.v;At some abandoned alley in the sete lagoas, Edgar, "Is this the place he asked you to come?" "Yeah, since there's no surveillance camera around here. He chose this place." I answered him while looking for that dealer. "Does he know that you're bringing a guy with you?""No, that's why you have to hide when I give you the signal, understand?""You don't have the artefact you bargained on. What are you going to do when he asks about it?""I'll make excuses."He nodded and asked, "What did you tell your friend before coming here?""I used the same excuse as yesterday. I said I'm going to hang out with you since it's been a long time." While I was looking at the only possible way he could come from, Edgar said, "It would be good if we're really school friends, right?"I punched on his shoulder and said, "How could you say that? we didn't study together, we're still friends. Remember that." After a while, I said to Edgar, "Go and hide. He's coming."The dealer asked a

FOUR YEARS LATERLouisa's p.o.v;I let out a yawn as I leaned back in my seat while looking at the report which I was holding in my hand. Raphael, "What is that?" "Autopsy report of my case I've been handling." "Why are you staring at it for so long? Where did you get stuck?" I sat straight and placed the report on the table saying, "It was mentioned that colourless liquid was found in the victim's body in an antifreeze system. When I gave it to the lab, they said it was ethylene glycol which poisoned her to death. I've investigated her parents, friends and her ex-boyfriends but they didn't have anything against her to poison her. I'm thinking about other possibilities for her cause of death.""I can't believe you are stuck in a case. Aren't you smarter than all of us here?""You don't have to say it like that. I'm like everyone else too.""Didn't you say she went to a bar before going home. Did you check the place? Since you said the poison was found in an antifreeze state. There
