Chapter 3

  • Out
  • Luna
  • I was so tired of thinking I decided to go to bed. My kids were in their room. Sometimes we slept together on the same bed, but tonight they were in theirs. I heard the sound of something, but when I opened my eyes to check who it was, I was suffocated by something that made me sleep. When I woke up, I realized I was not in my room or the "compound" I looked around scared, then I heard the sound of heels approaching me. I closed my eyes and waited for them to kill me but the person holding my cheek spoked "Amour, open your eyes, it's me."
  • "What!?" I opened it, "Amelia?" I asked. She looked older and so beautiful.
  • "Yes, it's me," she said, smiling. Oh my God. I hugged her tight and started crying.
  • "How? I heard you were dead."
  • "It's a long story, my love."
  • Lia
  • It hurt me so bad to leave Luna with that monster, so I did what he told me, I studied hard. When I called Luna to check on her, she sounded so scared I knew what had happened. I just have to be strong for her. She needs me. I studied and trained hard. Girls had tried to ask me out, I had refused them, my friends thought something was wrong with me, but they didn't understand. After seven years of studying and almost completing my master's, I got a call from my lawyer telling me I had properties left down for me by my father.
  • "So you mean my father left me something?"
  • "Yes, Ma'am,"
  • "Okay, what did he leave?"
  • "Everything,"
  • "What do you mean by everything?"
  • "I mean, everything is yours; it just states here that your brother should look after it until you come of age, but I think he didn't want you to know." I was surprised, so everything was mine. I got so angry and Called Henry right away.
  • "Hello? So you know father left me those properties, and you think you can cheat me? Look, I want my properties when I get back," I said and cut the call. I didn't let him say anything to me.
  • I have to go with my friends for a holiday on his ship, yeah that's how rich his father was, we were going to have fun before I left for home. We were drinking and having fun. I got tired and went to rest. While sleeping, I felt someone stab me, and I passed out but not before I heard him saying, "Mr. Rogers, it is done; she is dead," 
  • "Okay, throw her body into the ocean." 
  • "Yes, sir," he replied.
  • I don't know what happened, but I was bandaged and treated by an elderly woman in another city when I woke up. I tried moving.
  • "You need to rest, dear. You got lucky that my husband found you in the water. You would have been long dead." I fell asleep after telling her, "Thank you for saving me."
  • I found out that people thought I was dead although they searched for me for months but couldn't find me. Well, I was taking my time to recover. I went back to my apartment, got my things, and left. It's better this way if no one knows I am alive. "I will surely get back to you, my love," I said, talking to the bracelet Luna gave me.
  • "I started making plans, preparing on how to get you out of there, Amour. I know it took time for me to arrive, but I am here now. Come, see, we are not even in the town anymore, we are already at sea. This way, we can live the life we have always wanted." I started smiling, then I remembered my kids. I started panicking. "Amour, what is it? Talk to me."
  • "My kids, Lia, they are with your brother; we need to go back."
  • "You have kids?"
  • "Yes! I got pregnant after he raped me. I got so angry, I wanted to punch something. Please take me back; I need to get them out of there. I don't want them to stay with him; he will do what he did to me, Amelia." I started crying. I held her.
  • "We'll get them, Amour. I promise you, I'll bring them back to you."
  • Maddy
  • So you see, guys, this was what happened, and now we have been searching for our mother. But we noticed that people had been following us. Now they are coming closer. I held my sister's hand, and we started running. They blocked us from the front since we were not too familiar with the road. I held my sister.
  • "Who the hell are you people?" They started laughing. 
  • "If you want to know, your father sent us to get you."
  • "What? No, we didn't want to go back." We tried running, but they held us back out of nowhere. A man with a hooded mask came forward and punched them. He beat them up until they all ran away. "Wow, he's so awesome," I said to my sister. She nodded, agreeing with me. 
  • "Thank you for saving us, Sir." The person laughed and removed the mask. 
  • "Am not a man, girl."
  • We opened our mouths in shock to see who it was. It was Aunt Amelia, Mom's lover, who was 'dead.' We got so scared and held each other, thinking she was a ghost. 
  • "Oh my, you are scared of me, touch me am not dead, look." I touched her, and she was very much alive, but how? 
  • "Wow, you guys look so much like your mother. She would be so happy to see you." 
  • "Do you know where our mother is?"
  • "Yes, come with me." We followed her to where she was staying only to get there and see our father hitting our mother. 
  • "You think I would not find you, right? I did now. I am going to let you watch how I fuck your daughters when we get home." He held her by her arms when he turned around and saw us, he was scared shit when he saw aunt Amelia with us, he left my Mom and ran away, screaming "ghost!"
  • "Oh, my babies." We ran to our mother while she held us close, crying.
