Chapter: Chapter 117 - “What Are We?”
Adrielle HalePedro remains with his head in the crook of my neck as I stroke his hair. I've never seen him like this. His blue eyes look so scared, his chest struggles to absorb the oxygen he needs, and his hands tremble as they wrap around my body, holding me close. I told him it was okay, I'm trying to make everything okay. And that feels like something we're both trying to do.The bodies we saw, even covered by the black cloak, still haunt us. Just as it's in my mind, it's in his, a reminder that it could have happened to me.My entire body feels a chill just having that thought in my mind, a glimpse of what awaited me if I stayed in that house, married to a maniac. If he killed those women, it's no longer psychopathic; it's beyond that. I need to make sure he never comes near us again. And I know Pedro won't allow it.The last time I checked the time on my phone, it was already past four in the morning. Pedro told me he usually wakes up at three-thirty and can't sleep anymore, bu

Chapter: Chapter 116 - Until the Door Opens
Pedro Hernandez Adie and I arrived home at almost 1 a.m. We stopped at the hospital after leaving the morgue. Neither of us understands what really happened, but Romina isn't there. We haven't told my mother and Fernando about the bodies; if one of them is his daughter's, I know she'll find out at some point. I didn't want to prolong our conversation in the car; I don't know what goes through her head every time I lose my temper. I'm more afraid of being compared to Leonard than hurting her. I would never hurt her. Minnie and Abby aren't awake. The house is dark, and we can't see anyone when I turn on the lights. I leave my keys on the corner table and take off my coat. The rain outside is getting heavier, but not with thunder, just distant flashes. I imagine the media will talk about today's events tomorrow, about the bodies, about Barbara, about Adie and me. They're already talking about us; this will only make it even more of a topic. I know they must have recognized us both wh

Chapter: Chapter 115 - When Will This Stop?
Pedro HernandezBrooks has just removed the bodies. We gave our statements to the police. The forensic team and two other police cars are here. They really are three women, but there's no identification. I wonder why they left the bodies in a cold room for so many years. They're well preserved, but clearly bruised. I imagine that's the cause of death, and the forensic team should have something to say about it."I told you two not to come," the blond-haired woman says, a hint of impatience in her voice."They wouldn't have found the bodies without our help," I reply, keeping my right arm around Adrielle.Brooks narrows her eyes, focused on us."I'll take the bodies for autopsy." she says seriously. "And get that woman's statement."I debate whether I should mention that Barbara and Helena are the same person, but I prefer to let her take care of her mistakes. My problems are already too big to get involved in hers. And I really hope things work out, but I won't forgive her for lying a

Chapter: Chapter 114 - The Warehouse of the Dead
Adrielle Hale The security car is following us to Normandie Ave. That's good, so we won't be at risk. Pedro is driving silently. The streets are busy, but as we get closer to the location on the car's navigation system, traffic is gradually decreasing. I told Brooks we were heading to this location and sent her the address. I'm glad she gave me her phone number. She's a good cop. And she seems genuinely interested in bringing justice. Brooks told me not to go, but I can't change the stubborn man next to me. I just told her to come and that we're not going back. Calls are pouring into my phone right now, and messages are telling me how dangerous this is. "What's going on?" Pedro asks, his eyes focused on me for a second. "Brooks is telling me not to go, but how can I explain that the man sitting next to me is stubborn enough not to listen?" I ask, staring at him. I can see a small smile on his lips. "The stubborn man beside you told you not to come." His blue eyes focus on mine,

Chapter: Chapter 113 - The Last Clue
Adrielle Hale Pedro is silent. He's probably thinking about what Sofia said. She knows. Sofia knew all along that her husband was cheating on her, and yet, her way of trying to smooth things over is still there. She's still trying to contain her son's looming anger toward his father. "How long have you known?" Pedro's voice comes out softly. Sofia sighs sadly, as if she wants to keep this secret a secret for longer. "When you were born, I suspected he was having an affair with someone at the company. Max was away a lot. More than necessary," she replies calmly, as if the pain of finding out hadn't affected her. "Twenty-two years later, you disappeared, Pedro. Leaving behind someone you loved, and Leonard tried to take your place. He became close to Max. I even overheard a phone conversation between them, where his father said Leonard was his son and that he should get treatment if he wanted to remain so." I knew something was wrong with him the moment Max hired him as a lawyer for

Chapter: Chapter 112 - What Do They Know?
Adrielle Hale Bruno didn't need surgery. But I administered an anticoagulant into his vein. There are marks on his head, as if something had hit him hard. His vital signs are good, returning to normal. He's clean, wearing clean clothes, and has just been taken to a room. Andrew, the emergency room doctor, is escorting him to the room right now. Only one thing caught my attention about Bruno: there's writing in permanent ink on his arm. The phrase sent a terrifying shiver through my body. "Keep searching, and your daughter will end up like Miss Reyes." I remember seeing her name. She's Fernando's daughter. The girl Leonard killed. It's a threat to Pedro. But it also affects me. He's threatening my daughter. I know it's Leonard, but I don't know how he found Bruno. If I remember correctly, he was also looking for Bruno this morning. I head toward the waiting room, where I asked Pedro to wait. He's sitting with his hands on his head. I enter the room and close the door. It's just
