Every person throughout his or her life usually faces some periods of tribulations regardless of who he is or she is, or where he comes from or what kind of social status group that he belongs. But as we see on Anabella’s case that is not far from the reality as we can see that she has managed to escape from the Dallas city chaos caused by Alex and his men, but the only thing that she hasn’t managed to escape from is her anxiety inside her heart, with too much worry overwhelming her.
Anabella is inside her room, moving around the room while fidgeting her fingers as the room is dark with the dim lights emitting from the bulbs inside of the guest house’s bedroom, with darkness covering on some parts of the bedroom inside while Brian is on the top of the bedroom’s mattress, looking at Anabella as she is moving around the room inside.
“Are you alright sister Anabella?” Brian asks.
Anabella nods. “Yes, I’m alright,” and then turns and looks at Brian. “Why are you asking me that?” Anabella asks.
“Because you don’t look alright. You have been moving around inside this room for quite a while now.” Brian replies.
Anabella stops walking immediately and sighs, walking heading towards the bed, and then sits down immediately besides Brian’s place on the top of the bedroom’s mattress as Brian adjusts himself slowly, leaving the space for Anabella to sit down.
“Listen, I’m so sick and worried about how Oscar is doing in Dallas, what if something bad happened to him while we run away from Dallas city,” Anabella plants her hands on her face with her fingers shaking violently. “I’m so scared right now.” Anabella says.
Brian looks at Anabella with pity look on his face, and then decides to pats Anabella on her back with guilty overwhelming inside his heart as Anabella is sitting on the top of the bed while her hands are planted on her face.
“I guess… This is all my fault.” Brian mutters with a small inaudible voice with the voice filled with sorrow from the inside.
Anabella removes her hands on her face, and then takes a glance at Brian, looking at him with a contorted look on her face as Brian looks at her with the sad face.
“What do you mean by that Brian?” Anabella asks.
“Because all of these things that are happening to you and your family are happening because of me. If it wasn’t for me to bring all of the problems through your life, you wouldn’t have been in this kind of situation at this moment.” Brian says.
Brian’s eyes starts to burn out with tears and guilty burning inside his heart while Anabella looks at Brian with sad look on her face, feeling sorry of what Brian is going through throughout his life.
“Don’t say that Brian… it is not your fault that all of these things are happening to us because of you. That is how things work in life. Sometimes you may experience the moments of joy throughout your life and then sometimes you might get the moments of sadness that are not easily to escape. That is how life is.” Anabella speaks to Brian with the softer tone, comforting him in his state of depression.
“But… But, what if something really bad happened to Oscar because of me,” Brian pauses for a while and shakes his head. “I think I will not be able to tolerate the pain of losing him this time.” Brian says.
Anabella shakes her head with disagreement. “No, no, no Brian, don’t say that please. Nothing bad is going to happen to Oscar and you should always remember that. I know Oscar very well, he can manage to pull himself out of this situation.” Anabella says.
Brian raises his brows with astonishment on his face. “Really?” Brian asks.
Anabella nods.” Yes, really because I know Oscar very well and pretty sure that he can bounce from this in no time.” Anabella replies with the smile on her face, assuring Brian of Oscar’s safety.
The joy and hope starts to return back inside Brian’s heart, as the remorse feeling starts to vanish from Brian’s heart slowly as the time passes with the guilty that was overwhelming inside his heart.
“That is great.” Brian says.
“Okay it is running really late right now. you need to sleep because starting tomorrow early in the morning, we are going to have a busy schedule that will be coming for us.” Anabella says.
Brian nods. “Okay.” Brian replies.
Brian slides his slippers under the bed and then climbs up on the top of the bedroom’s mattress, laying down on the mattress while Anabella covers him with the bedsheet to prevent him from catching a cold at night.
At the time Anabella finishes covering Brian with the bedsheet, she then returns back to her seat on the top of the bed, pondering while thinking on what to do next.
“I need to find a way to reach Marcella in this city so that she can help me to find the parents of this kid. But how am I going to do that now since I don’t really have a phone to call her and tell her where we are?” Anabella speaks to her inner thoughts, thinking deep on what to do next while Brian is a sleep laying down on the bed.

Marcella is inside her room, pondering on the top of her bed as Jane’s words keeps lingering inside her thoughts which causes her to lose her sleep as it is 1:30 am in the morning while her fellow workers are on the top of their beds, sleeping while others are snoring.
“I can’t believe this girl has really turned into a really monster like this. But how can she do things to her sister-in-law while Arianna has no issues or problems with her, “Marcella releases a breath and continues. “There is no way I’m going to allow this woman to accomplish her goals and puts Arianna’s marriage into jeopardy. If it means putting my work here at risk by saying the truth to Mrs. Johnson and David, I’m willing to take that risk right now.” Anabella speaks to her inner thoughts with anxious look on her face, thinking on what to do next in order to save.
