“Hey, Ava, wait up!” Franco followed her outside. “Just go back inside. I want to be alone,” Fabe kept walking with no direction. “Nope. You are not ditching me this time. Come on,” Franco pulled her hand.“Where are we going?” “Somewhere I have search on the internet going.”Franco called a cab and told the driver to dropped them at bay walk. One of the tourist attraction in the area. He knows Fabe loves the beach. It clears her head.“Whoa! You search on it?”“Yup! And it was nearby so I figured you might need to clear your head. Just imagine we are in the island with Moira. You go fishing while she sells your catch.”“Those days. It was serene.”“Want to feel the sand? The water in inviting. Come on take of your shoes!”Fabe took of her shoes and buried her feet in the sand. Like she always did in the island. Feeling the heat on her skin and the smell of the sea breeze makes her forget her worries. Franco pulled her into the water. Playing with the waves. “Are you

The bar was easy to find. The address Fabe gave was clear and precise. Cali arrived in Thailand without informing Fabe. He wanted to see Bryce first before meeting his sister. He watched Bryce from his table and noticed the woman who took his order was extra clingy to him. In his mind, she must be his girlfriend. She was exactly what Fabe describes.When she returned with his drink, Cali read her name plate and thanked her. It took him a few minutes before Bryce noticed him. “Cali!” Bryce hugged him, “When did you arrived?” “Few minutes ago. Fabe doesn’t know yet, but I texted her.”“Oh, how did you find this place?” Bryce joined him on the table.“Fabe mentioned the address. It was easy to locate this place, and I’m kind of thirsty, so I decided to came. Nice bar.”Bryce nodded and asked about his mother. Cali assures him that Madam Claudia was in good condition and visit her oftentimes. He also mentioned what had happened to Lady Sophie. “Is there a big chance that we co

Fabe stayed under, sinking. Letting the water succumbs her body. Panicked, Bryce pulled her out. Fabe struggled to free herself, but he force her out. “What are you doing, Bryce?” Fabe coughed out. “Seriously? You almost drown yourself!” he scolded. “What? I am not!”“Jesus, Fabe!” Bryce walked out. Diana came rushing hearing Bryce’s voice, but encountered him on her way out.“What just happened?” Diana asked confusingly. “Nothing. I’m going to take a shower,” Bryce answered and slammed the door in their room. Diana stared at Billie, but he gave her a shrugged and went to the cockpit and drove the yacht back to the docking area. After bathing, Bryce stayed in the room looking afar scowling. Diana came in and saw him in deep thought. “Want to talk about it?” Diana stood beside him. Bryce hesitated. What would he tell to her of she asks why he jumped into the water panicking? He was terrified and there was no excuse, only he don’t understand why. “I thought she was

FABE’S POV Bryce didn’t showed up in the apartment. He didn’t even texted Billie, but one thing is for sure, I am doing the investigation without him. Cali went back to Italy and asked me to stay until the anniversary party. One thing I admired about him, if he promised something, it has to be done. Only I would be fulfilling it. “Do you guys want to go somewhere and unwind?” Franco suggested, getting bored inside. “Why don’t you guys go? I made arrangements to visit my friend later,” Billie was drinking his afternoon coffee. “Why don’t we go with you?” I implied, I am not in the mood to go out with Franco alone. “And get bored? My friends here are the same age as me. We’re just going to catch up. I planned to visit them all before leaving.” “Ava, I found this resto bar with live band. We can hang out in there for a bit, get drinks and come home.” I am out of excuses so I agreed. Franco loves bar hopping and have fun. Not that I don’t like it, it’s just that I know he just want

“You are Sophie Hamilton’s friend?” The woman nodded. Cali begin to asked her questions about Lady Sophie when Gloria let him in her room. He wanted to know if she’s telling the truth, and Cali noticed that Gloria was studying him as well. “How long have you been a friend with Sophie?” Cali asked. He declined the tea Gloria offered. “Let’s see,” Gloria scratched her head, trying to recall something, “Well, she moved here three or four years ago. I got to talked to her after a month I guess. Sophie stayed in her apartment all the time. I remember she liked to went grocery by bulk and only came out when she throw garbage.”“Is this her in the picture?” Cali showed her the picture. Gloria took her glasses and examined the picture.“She looked quit familiar to her, but that wasn’t her face when she got here,” she removed her glasses and drink her tea.“What do you mean?” “Sophie dyed her hair and used prosthetics that would make her look older. She used the name Pia here. I j
