FIFTY EIGHT

- LORELEI - I step out of his car. Leonardo offered to drop me home but I declined his offer. I don’t want him knowing where I live. Not when the whole internet may have images of Ace’s house all over. The last thing I want is him predicting who I’m actually married to. I’m not proud of it but like I’m already aware of, Ace’s influence might make Leonardo go away and I don’t want that. I would love to meet him some other time. So I lied that I was going to meet someone after our date, so this is where I currently am this late in the morning. Or should I say early in the morning? It’s past two am. The car door closes right behind me and I turn around to look at the man who pulled it open the first time to let me out. Such a fine specimen of gentleman he is. Too bad I’m not single. I’m free but also caged in this adult life of mine. At least, it’s the good kind of caged. The best I’ve come to see throughout my years. “Be honest with me,” I say to the man standing before me.

FIFTY NINE

- LORELEI - The gate was unlocked and the lights in the compound weren’t put out. I’ve never been out of this place at night to know if this is a norm or today was just an exception but I was glad for this. Correction, I’ve never been out this early in the morning. I feel like a teenager who snuck out of home and is sneaking back in, trying to avoid my parent’s scolding. This makes me laugh slightly. If things did not go as they did and if my father did not remarry, I would’ve possibly done something like this based on my friends click back then. I step in. The moment I was inside, my heart begin to rupture in my ribcage like I was suffocating out of air. I know I am not. I know it’s just a mental game my brain is playing on me but I can’t help but feel pressured. I saw Ace back there during dinner yet acted like I did not. I saw him stand up and walk towards us. That was just the time Leonardo asked me that question and I knew he was close enough to hear whatever I had to

- ACE - I revise the documentary before me and try to find a link from it with the evidence before me. It makes no fucking sense. Nothing is closely related nor makes any sense. Ever since I woke up this morning, I sent some of my men to dig into the happenings of the accident legally to see if anything can be traced to a similar occurrence in the past dating back to two years ago but I have seen none. There has been nobody brought to the station to be charged of any crime and no lead whatsoever since that day. Luck seems to not be by my side this time. I lift my hand up from its resting position on the handle of my chair, still keeping my elbow pressed on it, and pinch the start of my nose. My other hand holds some of the documentary files before me while the case in comparison is scattered all over my desk. I seem to be more involved in this case than anyone else. Even more than the victim in question. I have gone through so many documentaries myself, pausing my own schedule

SIXTY ONE

- LORELEI - It’s odd. I have been here for hours yet nothing has happened. I’m worried. I could not get any sleep because I was busy worrying about something that hasn’t happened yet. Something I dread is about to unfold but hasn’t. How is this even possible? I am supposed to be fantasising about the best night of my entire life yet I’m here stuck in my room and afraid to step out because my husband is on the loose. Ace has never been silent about anything regarding to me before yet now he is. It’s only natural that I worry. . . right? I clear my throat, turning to the side of the bed. I’m sure my eyes are weighed with eye bags. I’ve not gotten a single ounce of sleep since I arrived this morning and it’s already taking a toll on me. I crave sleep. I’m hungry too but I can’t help but feel the crippling thought that someone out there is watching me and waiting for me to step out of here. I gulp. If Ace wanted to, he would’ve come to me first, this is his house. Everything in her

SIXTY TWO

- ACE - A knock makes my eyes open. I didn’t know when I got so carried away with my thoughts that I zoned out of reality. I have so much to think about and I am done being modest about it. I’m done trying the easy, nice way. Why I tried it, I have no idea but it does not suit me. I want information about certain things and I am going to have my hands on them. Whether it’s safe or not. I’ll remind everyone why I’m referred to as the devil. “Who’s there?” I ask, keeping my tone calm. A sombre, somewhat melancholic kind of calm. “Marco, boss.” The person at the other end of the door responds. Hearing him speak makes me sigh. “What business do you have with me that made you disrupt my private time at such hour?” I ask, still sunk into the seat in a comfortable, resting position. My body is not slouched nor positioned in a slacked manner, I’m sat rather upright with my legs crossed as a gentleman sits but it sure is comfortable to me. “You have a visitor. Someone who you’re we

SIXTY THREE

- ACE - “What do you mean by ‘Lorelei met Catherine’?” I ask, rewording her words carefully in case I heard wrong. I hope I did. I don’t want that snake anywhere near my wife. “I’m still fazed by the news of it and don’t know what happened during their encounter but she told me that day in my car.” This made a nerve tick. She’s known all this time yet did not say a word to me. What the heck, Isabel?! It’s my wife we’re speaking about! I take a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves and refrain from voicing my thoughts out loud. What I hate even more about my thoughts is the overprotectiveness it seems to have. I am not concerned that Catherine met ‘my wife’, I am concerned that she was involved with someone who lives in my house. Someone who hates me. I would rather not have her communicate with anyone I know personally. “You should’ve told me.” I say under my breath, letting go of the papers in my hand. “I know, and I’m sorry. I wanted to say something sooner but I got carried

SIXTY FOUR

- ACE - I escort Isabel outside. She’s parked in my front yard. I have to admit, it takes a special kind of person to break Marco’s defense to let someone into my compound without my permission no matter who the person is. And no matter how close he thinks that person is to me. It’s by luck Lorelei has access to certain things and that is because I allowed it to be so. I smile at Isabel as she gets into the driver’s seat of her car. She smiles at me, waving sweetly. Haha, someone seeing her would thinks she’s actually so sweet and not a pain in the neck sometimes. Well, part of that is true, somewhat. “I’ll call you.” I say to her. Isabel laughs out loud like she does not believe me at all. “I won’t bet on it. If your time can be spread to allow my company, I will be honoured.” She says mockingly. I roll my eyes at that. I almost never call but I do so more often with her than anyone else I know. “Take care.” I say to her. Part of me is worried sick for her. After L

SIXTY FIVE

- ACE - I didn’t mean to hurt her. I didn’t want to. But I knew that the only way to get information out of her was to use force. That’s the only language she responds to so even though it killed me to see her miserable to my touch, I proceeded to inflict more pain on her. Maybe because some of it fed my heart to content because of what she did last night. And maybe because part of me loved seeing her vulnerable but the moment my fingers left her skin, the obvious marks on her arm made me know I may have crossed the line. Her skin is so tender. So tender that it cut and I felt her blood spill on my thumb. That instant, I regretted approaching her forcefully but I couldn’t back out now. Not when I’ve gone this far and she’s actually speaking. Now when I’m close to getting what I want from her. Even though it came with the price of her misery. I listen closely, halting the urge to let my mind run wild with thoughts based on her story till she’s done telling me all I need

SIXTY SIX

- ACE - I got what I wanted but I don’t feel as I should. I thought knowing the reason behind the accident would aid me feel better about myself but it did the opposite. Maybe it’s because of how I acquired the information. I should’ve just let it be. I should’ve looked for a different way to derive it but I didn’t and I feel terrible. I let out a sigh. I haven’t moved an inch since I shut the door behind me. My body rests on the door as I peer my head up the ceiling. I can hear her plainly behind these walls and for some reason, it bleeds my heart to know she’s in there in that state because of me. I want to make it up to her. I don’t know why but it’s something that I feel like I should. Maybe I’d do something right after I find out who the mastermind behind this confirmed assassination is and I think I may just have the guess on who is. I just need a confession. My eyes darkens. That will be the hardest part of it all. After all, the suspect is none other than Catherine. I

SIXTY SEVEN

- ACE - “Ace, my old friend.” The shroud voice of a man rings from the other end of the phone. It belongs to a very old friend of mine. “It’s been a while.” I respond to him, a grin forming on my lips. I’m in my room. The moment I left hanging outside Lorelei’s door, I came here. I still have the handkerchief stained with her blood clutched in my hand, I don’t plan on letting it go anytime soon. “It sure has. To what do I owe this pleasure?” He asks, his tone calm yet sinister. This question brings my attention back to the call. “I need you to do something for me, Alejandro.” I say to him. A deep laugh echoes through the other end of the call. “Straight to business as always.” He cooes. “What do you need? I’m ready to help you, always.” This makes my grin widen. “I need you to look into someone for me. Get every information about this person for me, even the ones which seem irrelevant. I’ll text you a name and a photo. Can it be done?” “Can it be done is the wrong quest
