Adrian walked out of his room dressed up, he held his jacket in his arm and his phone in the other “Are you heading out?” Carolina asked “Yeah, why?” he asked and she just nodded no. He walked past her and Justin came running to him “Daddy! Take me with you” he said, holding on to Adrian’s pants, looking up at him Justin had never asked Adrian to take him out Adrian crouched “I’m going to work, Justin” he said “I know” he said. Adrian looked at Carolina and she shook her shoulder. Adrian waited by the car and glanced at his watch, he looked up and saw Justin run towards him happily. He wore a grey knitted sweater and shorts. Somehow, he hadn’t seen Justin in his usual clothes for a long time “when did you get this?” he asked him “Mummy made it for me” he said and Carolina came out, she saw the look on Adrian’s face “What?” she asked “Nothing” he got into the car and they zoomed off. During the silent ride, Justin was seated on Carolina’s legs and played with her hair

~Moretti Mansion. Adrian randomly walked down the stairs, his hands in his pockets. He strolled over to the refrigerator in house slippers. He poured some in a cup when Carolina walked in. She paused for a while, it was her first time seeing him in casual house clothes—an oversized black sweatshirt and sweatpants. "Hi" she grabbed a cup He simply replied with a "Hm" She slid the cup on the counter towards him, looking at him for a pour. He dropped the glass and walked away "Help yourself" he said at a distance. Carolina kept looking at the place he had just exited with tired eyes. She was used to his petty shit already "Fine, I'll do it myself" she said and took some water. Carolina sat in the living room this time while reading a book. A sudden laugh and fell on her side, on the couch, using the book to cover her face "You shouldn't laugh often" Adrian said behind Carolina. She got up and glared at him then her face relaxed "Are you going out?" She asked, scanning him

~Molly Penthouse. Adrian arrived at the penthouse in a full and dangerous speed. His car came to a halt as he bolted out of the car. There were other cops around and their cars and an ambulance "Are you Mr. Moretti?" A cop asked "I am" he said and he followed the cops in. The cop paused by the door and ushered him into the room. Adrian pushed the door open and saw other cops investigating the area. On the bed, a figure was covered with a white clothe. He stepped closer and reached out for the sheets. He pulled it slowly and caught a glimpse of her face. He pulled further and saw her. The disaster that befell her. She laid there, unmoving, lifeless in the pool of her own blood. The sheets dropped from Adrian's hand "We got a call hours ago from one of the maids and when we arrived, she was gone already." The cop behind him said "We were going to transfer her to the hospital but we thought to wait for you to come" he added and Adrian nodded. The cops kept investigating the

~Moretti Mansion. The mansion had been quiet for a while, especially when Adrian never got out of his study and Carolina laid in bed throughout. Justin sat on the bed next to her, flipping through pages of a book. Carolina laid on her side, zoned out. "Mummy?" Justin tapped her arm She snapped back to reality "Yes?" She answered and he said nothing. Carolina got off the bed and walked out of the room. She slowly descended the stairs, holding the rails firmly. A loud thud echoed through the house. Adrian's gaze lifted from the screen. He didn't mind at first but his attention kept going there. He walked around the house and saw Carolina at the end of the stairway, trying to get up. He strolled down to her "What was that sound?" He asked even though it was obvious. She managed to get up but didn't look at Adrian "Nothing" she said, about to leave "I'll call the doctor" he said "There'll be no need" she walked away. The day of the funeral came and they all got ready to

Carolina was torn between who to talk to. Definitely not Adrian who is practically shutting everyone out. And not Ashley who's gone off to where no one knows but Adrian "You know where to find me" Obviously, only Adrian knows but how could she talk to a man who's turning himself into a ghost in his own house. ~MIDNIGHT Carolina got up casually from her bed and strolled over to Adrian's study after preparing a whole speech and presentation on why he should call Ashley back or at least tell her where she can find her. She knocked at his door but there was no response. She pushed it slightly and it was open. She peeped in before appearing fully. She leaped towards him quietly and noticed the papers scattered around the table. He was asleep after a long time and day. She leaned down to look closely, he looked somehow relieved, instead of the constant fused brows and almost tearing mouth. They were relaxed. She saw the bottle of wine and half filled glass, he had taken way too muc
