She walked closer towards me and sat beside me. She put her hands on my legs and massage them. My little thing turned enormous again.
” Lucy is here. She was with Gale. I want you to kill her!”, her eyes dilated while looking at me.
I didn’t know that this will be her request. I gulped thrice after hearing it. My sweats began to appear on my forehead and palm. This was the drastic request I ever encounter in my life.
“What? What do you mean Lucy is here with Gale? Kent’s brother? Are they related? What is Lucy doing here anyway?”, I asked her while fixing myself to go.
Eloisa waited for me at the door.
” No more questions! I had a clip of what we did a while ago. If you want to keep our secret to my husband, then you will do my request!”, she said while holding the mini tape in her hands.
I had no choice. I did what she told me. I was the one who shot Lucy and digs a hole in her limp body. It wasn’t Brian. He just helped me with the digging but I was the one who did the killing.
After that day, Lucy’s horrible face keep tormenting me in my head.
End of Flashback

Kent can’t believe that Gregory will kill himself.
He just arrived at the morgue. He didn’t want to open the white cloth covering his body because he’s not ready to see his friend who’s now a dead person.
He quickly pulled out the cloth on his head and his lips parted to confirmed that it was him.
“Why? Why did you do it?”, he said while looking at his friend’s pale face.
He saw marks of ropes on his neck. Police said that they found him hanging on the ceiling with a tight rope binding his neck. He took suicide. It was his case but Kent won’t believe that Gregory will kill himself. He’s an ambitious man and he won’t let himself die in poverty. It’s a murder. Someone killed him and sent will find out who was his killer. Since Lucy disappeared without a trace after she goes out of prison, maybe they had the same abductor. The person who keeps or kills Lucy was the same one who abducts Gregory. He must go to his apartment to find evidence. Maybe a killer left evidence there.
” I will find whoever killed you!”, he mumbled after heading his way to Gregory’s house.

Eloisa received a text from Brian.
“He’s dead. Don’t panic. Everything is under control!”, after reading his text, Eloisa quickly hides her phone when she saw Kent approaching inside her office.
She went to their company to check the issue about it.
” You’re back. I thought you won’t come anymore. Dilan Is looking for you. She calmly said to her husband.
Kent wasn’t in his state since he lost Gregory.
“Have you heard the news? The police called me this morning.” He answered back.
“What?”, Eloisa asked him trying to act like she doesn’t know anything.
” Gregory is dead! Haven’t you heard it? It’s all over the headlines! Police said it’s a suicide but I think it’s not!”, Kent informed his wife and Eloisa looks sad after hearing the news.
” I didn’t. I’m so sorry. He’s a good friend of yours. Maybe it’s about love? Does he has a girlfriend?”, she wanted to twist Kent’s theory.
Kent sat down on the empty chair on Eloisa’s desk.
“I don’t know. He’s a busy person so I don’t think he has time for his love life”, it was his theory.
Eloisa shrugged her shoulders and just listened at Kent. Her husband had no idea that she was the one who ordered the assassination of his business partner Gregory.
” Poor Gregory. He’s kind to me back then. Did Aunt Gemma know that her son was now dead? She’s on vacation right?”, Eloisa asked Kent while checking the documents on her desk.
Kent nodded and saw what’s inside the folder. It’s several votes from the board of directors about the stockholders to renew their contract.
“What happened? Did you hold a meeting?”, he asked his wife and she nodded.
Kent frowned to find out that Eloisa is making her own decisions without consulting him as the owner of the company.
” What? Without me? Are you disrespecting me now, Eloisa?”, Kent’s loud voice echoed in the whole room.
Eloisa took a deep breath to calm herself. Kent has no idea that her dad bought the building under her name yesterday. Because Kent didn’t know that their wedding was fake so there is no need to half their property as a couple.
She stood up and glared at Kent.
“Where are you yesterday and this morning? Should I wait for you to start the meeting?”, She yelled at him.
” You would have called me!”, Kent tightened his jaws in anger.
“I can’t reach you! Why? I’m your wife so what’s the fuss?”, she wanted to explain everything to him.
