REINA “E, we’re going to be back pretty late. You can’t come with us. I mean, I wish you could, but your dad wouldn’t agree to it.” I tell Ethan while he sits on my bed with a pout on his face. I’m standing in front of my dressing mirror, patting a little makeup onto my face. “Yeah I know, but can you help me ask dad?” He pleads. I pause my movements, looking at him through the mirror. Then I scoff, smiling at him in slight confusion. “What?” “He always listens to you. If you ask him, he might let me go.” He gets off the bed and advances towards me. “It’s just that Mike is my favorite artist too. I need to give him the collection of drawings I’ve made for him all these years. I know dad can make it happen. So, please?” I stay starstruck for a while before finally blinking and huffing a laugh. “I don’t know…” I turn back to the mirror and continue with my makeup, hoping that he’d just forget about this and go to bed. Ethan stares back at me through the mirror like a kid I ju

ALAN“Let’s go.” I check my watch. “He’ll soon be done with his performance anyway.”I hold out my hand and she places her hand in mine. She bends to whisper something to Ethan who just yawns and takes her hand. It’s like he’s actually thankful for the fact that we can go home now.I shake my head, walking outside with them.“Tee?” Reina says as she rubs Ethan’s head while he lies on her thighs, drifting asleep. “Are you with Gramma?”I keep my eyes on the road, even while super attentive to the conversation. She pulls the phone off her ear and puts it on loudspeaker.I don’t catch what Tee responds with, but she goes on, “I got more threats. You have to keep an eye on her. We can’t let anything happen to her, Tee.”“Oh God. Noted.”“I’ll send some more security. Some of my personal security to guard the place. I don’t know who’s doing this and what they stand to gain from it. But I’ll get to the root of it.” I can’t help assuring them.Tee says nothing for a minute there, then he res

REINA I take my hand off his thigh. He keeps looking at me in that weird manner of his, but doesn’t say anything about my sudden retraction. “What are you saying, Al?” The murderer chant that those men had been repeating fills my head now, but I refuse to believe any of it is true. “Alan. What are you saying?” I repeat when he doesn’t say anything after a while. “I caused Rose’s death, Reina.” He tells me for the third time, and again, I wait for him to explain. He does, “She needed me that morning. We were supposed to go to the hospital together for a major checkup. She was getting tired too easily now. I’d just had a rough night… a night with a number of women in my red room. So I told her to head to the hospital and I’d meet her there. She tried to drag me off the bed and we argued like children.. as usual.” There’s a sad smile on his face as he says the last part. Relief courses through my veins anyways, because at least, this didn't turn out to be what I think it is.

REINA “I didn’t find anything on his phone.” Alan says in the most disappointed tone. He looks downcast, sitting on a stool while I prepare dinner. “Isn’t that better?” I try to lighten up the mood. “At least he hasn’t been deceiving us. We can rule that out.” “You don’t get it, Reina. I don’t trust him.” He states. “That man is hiding something. And it’s only a matter of time before I get to the root of it. And I will get to the root of it.” I walk to him and press a kiss to his lips. He tries to pull me back against him but I swivel out of his grip, laughing. “Getting to the root of it… that’s after you’re done eating, right?” “Sure.” He agrees, then gets up to his feet and wraps his arms around me from behind. He starts to kiss my neck while I giggle like a possessed woman, wiggling in his hold. Even if I never want him to let me go. “Ew.” The sound of Ethan’s voice causes us to jump away from each other. Alan barely catches the plate I’d been with before it tumbles

REINA“Why would you do that! Gramma! Oh my God, I need to call Alan! Oh God!” I cry, taking out my phone.“You’re being abused! Look how you just panicked! This is not okay, you’re getting abused, Reina! Please get out of there!”“I’m not!” I scream at him, abandoning my phone without completing the call to Alan. “If I was getting abused I’d be out of there in a heartbeat, you wouldn’t have to tell me shit or make me do anything!”“That’s what someone who’s being abused would say.” Tee still insists. I shake my head, needing them to understand me. I turn to Gramma.“You like him. Right? You loosened up so much around him when he came. You’ve never loosened up like that to anyone. I’m sure you have a feeling in your heart that he didn’t do any of this.”“Then who did? What’s going on, Reina?” Gramma asks, her voice breaking all over again. Hearing her voice now just reminds me of the revelation she made to us minutes ago. She was wrong. I don’t feel any less connected to her, or my br
