POV: Miguel
“No! No! No! No!
That’s can’t be right, mom. Think back to when you spoke to Eloise. Did she tell you that she is bringing the documents to the house by herself?” I asked in shock.
“Yes, she did. We were supposed to hang out for a week when she comes, she promised to visit my family this time and I was hoping she would be her for your birthday. I was so happy to finally meet her in person. I actually thought she wanted to be here by my side to console me on your birthday as a part therapy so I won’t think of your sister all day.” Mom affirmed sadly.
She still doesn’t get my point. Eloise told her she would be coming over with all the necessary documents. She promised to come to our house tomorrow just to deliver some lame documents for mom to sign. How dumb is she?
I don’t know if I should say mom is dumb for believing her or that Eloise is dumber for wanting to leave her sanctuary just to come and kill my parents that have no idea what she has been doing to them all these years. Either way, mom and dad has to leave that house today before it is too late.
It’s either she is sending someone over to finish them off and eliminate anyone capable of fighting her for the custody of Marisol. This time I don’t ev3n think she is fighting to get custody of the girls. I think it’s just her determination to finish the task that she has failed to accomplish all these years.
“She is not coming, is she?” Mom let out sadly, making me so furious that she is still expecting to see her despite everything we’ve been through. I can’t believe that despite all the terrible things Eloise has done to our family, she is still feeling sad that she doesn’t get to meet her in person. It’s annoying as fuck.
“Do you really think that Eloise would let you have the company and her properties, the same properties she killed her parents for?
You must be joking mom. You are so dumb to think she will let you have her belongings. She Hates you mom, she wants you dead, she wants us all dead.
Oh wait, you have no idea what she is capable of, do you?
Well, I’m going to tell you what your best friend is capable of. She killed her parents to get all the inheritance from them and not share with her sister. She did not just kidnap Marisol, she kidnapped another child named Claire and she murdered her family when they got too close to finding out the truth.
The only reason we are all alive is because we left the city when we did. If you had been in the same city with her, if you had become friends with her while you were still living close by, she would have killed you Mom and she would have killed dad and I as well. That’s who your best friend is Mom, a fucking murder!” I yelled in anger, telling her the bitter truth.
“And guess what Mom, your best friend is not coming over to hand you some documents because she never meant to let you have her inheritance in the first place. Even her sister got nothing from their parents or her, so why the hell will she give them to you?
I don’t know if she would come tomorrow like she promised or maybe she will change her mind and decide to come tonight. But I need you to leave that house with as many guards as you can take. When you get to the hotel, call me immediately. I’m making arrangements to trace a call to her phone, I’ll need you on board with this plan!” I told her firmly.
Dad spoke to me next and he told their luggage’s are in the car already and they were on their way out of the house. I instructed the guards to be alert to their surroundings and I told dad to call me if he suspects anything or anyone around them. I had to hang up to let them concentrate on the road.
But deep down in my heart I prayed for things to go according to plan. I can’t lose anyone else because of Eloise, I’ll fucking go crazy with anger if that happens. I didn’t want to speak with Raphael tonight, but I had to find him immediately because I need his tech guy to run a trace on mom’s phone.
“Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Slow down man, what the hell are you talking about?” he asked me in confusion as I explained to him that Eloise has been keeping an eye on my family for a while now. He opened his eyes in shock as he imagined how she must have been plotting to take us out all these years.
“If she knows your house then they have to leave now, it’s no longer safe there!” he ordered.
“They left already!” I told him.
“They have to be careful with the guards and maids around them. If I know Eloise Kendall, I’m sure she planted a mole in that house. They must be careful!” he warned sternly. I squinted my eyes in thought because I never thought of that. I never thought that she may have planted a mole to monitor our affairs and report back to her.
Damn that woman!
“Call Carl and your tech guy, I want Mom to call Eloise now that she hasn’t found out that Mom knows the truth. This is our one chance to trace her cell phone before she turns it off.” I told him firmly as I turned away to call my father.
“Dad, have you told anyone about Marisol and Eloise yet?” I ask him sternly.
“Not yet, I’m still trying to stop your Mom from crying and cursing out angrily.” He responded with sarcasm aimed at Mom.
“Good!
That’s perfect dad, you must not let anyone know that you know the truth. If they ask, tell them that I was involved in an accident and that is why Mom is crying. No one around you must know that you know the truth about Eloise and Marisol.
Tell Mom to be careful with what she is saying to anyone, they must not know the truth. Make them believe that you and Mom are on a vacation because Mom is upset and you need to calm her nerves. We believe there may be a mole in our house. Eloise is too paranoid to let us live freely.
I’m sre she planted someone over there to keep watch over us. Just act casual for a few hours until my boys get to you. I’ll make sure you get all the help you need.” I assured him.
