The loud bangs coming at the door to her room causes Itzel to jump up from the bed. The arm of Dmitri that is being snaked around her torso thankfully saves her from falling off of the bed. Sensing her move beside him, Dmitri too wakes up from his sleep and looks at her frowning self. The knocks are now getting more incessant."Someone is at the door! You need to hide somewhere fast!" Itzel screeches at him, her throat feeling a bit scratchy from just waking up. Dmitri gets no time to react or say anything as Itzel literally drags him towards her bathroom by tugging at his hand and motions him to get in quick. Then she quickly composes herself and goes to open the door. "Ma? What is happening? Is everything all right?" She asks as soon as her gaze falls on her frantic looking mother who is looking back at her with wide, panicking eyes and a phone clutched at her one hand. "Is someone on the phone, ma?" She nods at her vehemently."Yes, it is the police department! They are saying that

Sitting at the dining table, Itzel watches Ishu just playing with his spaghetti and not eating it. With a distant look on his face, he just stares at the dish aimlessly. Itzel can understand that he is going through a hard phase, a very hard phase of his life, seeing as he has lost his father just two days ago, and not to forget, he has actually seen his ghastly looking dead body with his own eyes. But as his big sister, Itzel has to try and help him get over this hard time of his life. "Ishu, do you want me to make you some pancakes? Banana pancakes, your favorite! What do you say?" Itzel asks him trying to sound enthusiastic but it does nothing to help Ishu whatsoever. He just shakes his head from side to side without even looking up at her. And now she does not know how to cheer him up. He has been missing his football practice for two days in row but that is okay with her. She is not going to force him to go out and play when he barely even talks now. Sighing, she sits back on he

Walking near to where they are sitting, Dmitri stops right infront of Anita. "What did you tell her exactly to make her agree to go God knows where to with you?" Dmitri questions her. Purely out of curiosity because he knows that he does not stand a chance against this woman. She smiles but does not tell him anything. "Relax, young man! She does not mean any harm to your girl, you know it better than anyone." The man from beside her says standing up to his height. Dmitri goes to say that he trusts her but is cut off by him. "Don't worry. We have not told her anything yet. Figured you are yet to tell her about your truth and that if we tell us, it might ruin everything for the both of you. Now come, let's go out for a short walk until your girl comes back down. Yeah?" Dmitri, at first, hesitates but then agrees to him and they both walk out of the mansion. "I don't know if you remember me but I am Marcony, the man who was with Anita when you came to the hotel room that day, remember?"

It could be that Dmitri must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed today in the morning. Or, better, it could be because he has strained his neck muscles by sleeping on his single side for a long period of time. But unfortunately, it is none of the above two reasons as to why he has this sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach and the dull ache tugging on his heart. To begin with, when Dmitri woke up this morning at around six, he found out that Itzel was no longer by his side on the bed. Neither he could find her anywhere in her whole room, nor she was inside her bathroom. Having no idea as of where Itzel went to, Dmitri has made his way down the stairs and found Mrs. Singh standing there with a white envelope in her hands. As she sees him coming down the stairs, she gives him a small, apologetic smile. Why though Dmitri does not understand yet. He just tries to make a few excuses in his mind to present to her if she asks him what he was doing up there while he should be comi

Looking out of the rolled down window of the car, Dmitri lets out a sigh. "How much long is it going to take?" He asks Damon who is in the driver's seat. "Um, maybe just two more minutes? Yeah, that is what the digital map on my phone says. If it is accurate, the bar is just around the corner here." Damon informs him even if he himself is unsure about it. "There! I can see that bar sign from here!" After driving for just a minute more, Damon exclaims causing Dmitri to see straight ahead through the glass hood of the car. And that is when he sees the sign of the bar. Which appears to be not just a bar but actually a strip club! With narrowed eyes, Dmitri assess it from the exterior. "I don't even know how she found about such a place to begin with!" Damon mutters in a low voice."Can you tell me how the hell were you able to contact her? Her phone is still switched off!" Dmitri tells him while showing him his phone screen which is now dialing Itzel's number but is going straight to v
