VALENTINA’S POINT OF VIEW
“Wake up, we would have to be on our way in about thirty minutes.” Diego said, he looked like a model off duty sitting on that couch with his hair looking a bit scattered and cute and messy like a model straight out of Calvin Klein’s runway collection.
One of the strands of his hair got into his eyes he brushed it off with his hand, before placing his hand thoughtfully under his chin.
I robbed my eyes with the back of my palm as I tried to get used to being awake, I remember coming into this room last night, I remember Amelia the really nice house keeper showing me the way to this room, I however do not remember when Diego got here, he wasn’t here when I fell asleep.
The bright morning sun was pouring in through the opened window.
“What time is it?” I asked with a groggy sleepy voice, I combed my hair out with my fingers, I am sure I look horrible right now, I always look not so great in the morning, I do not my morning face that much now Diego has seen it! Not like I care what he thinks, that’s a lie I do care what he think even if I try to lie to myself that I don’t.
I tried again to brush my hair with my fingers.
“You look beautiful the way you are, you don’t even have to try.” He said, cleared his throat and then pretended like he did not say anything.
I looked away trying to remind myself that I don’t like him, that I can’t like him not after what he did to me, after what he has done to me.
“Get dressed quickly.” He said standing up from the couch he had been seated on.
“I don’t have any clothes here, your men literally kidnapped me remember?” I said sarcastically with my eyebrow raised.
“Where are we going anyway?” I asked, a little bit scared of what the answer would be. He hasn’t really ever given me any reason to trust him.
“Somewhere.” He replied blankly. He most have seen the fear starting to show on my face because he added.
“Somewhere nice, it’s a surprise, a pleasant surprise, I promise.” He added, I couldn’t stop myself from smiling.
“There are clothes in the closet for you to pick from although I will prefer you without anything on.” He said looking into my eyes, that last part was not a joke, he knows and I know too. I looked away worried that he would see my cheeks go red with both shyness and …expectation.
“And by the way you should really try to snore less when you sleep.” Diego said as he walked out to door.
“I don’t snore.” I yelled after him. Wait do I? No? I don’t think so.
Really? Diego do I snore?” I asked, I heard the sound of him chuckling but he said nothing.
Do I snore I continued to wonder before I finally decided to get up from the bed and start getting ready for the surprise… the pleasant surprise.
YARA’S POINT OF VIEW
” Do you know why I killed your father?” Raphael said.
“Do you know why I killed my first wife.” He added.
I looked at him with tears in my eyes, my hands were tied, my mouth was gagged. He was holding a knife in his hand, twirling this between his fingers, staring intensely at it like it was his new favorite toy.
Raphael had a maniac smile on his face, at this point I wonder how I had been in love with this psycho in the first place. I’m not even sure it was truly love, nothing is certain anymore, not even the possibility of me living.
“I killed them because they were about to do to me what you are threatening to do. They were about to open their mouths and tell everyone about the island and so they had to die.” He said, his smile was completely replaced with a sinister frown.
I felt my eyes burning up with tears.
“Oh my dear dear Yara do not cry for them. They deserved it, your father was no saint after all, he sold you to me literally the day you were born I just had to wait for you to come of age, 18, was our agreement. You were the glue that held our friendship.” Raphael said.
My eyes were blurry with tears, I have always known that my father was no saint but to sell his own daughter?
Please i mouthed through the gag.
“What happens on the island has to stay on the island Yara and I’m sorry but I have to kill you to ensure that things stay like that.” He said before covering my face in an air tight sac. I could hardly breathe.
I kicked, tried to scream, I tried to struggle but he was just too strong, I felt the air start to leave my lungs, I felt the life start to slip away from me and then everything went blank…
ZARA’S POINT OF VIEW
Why isn’t this bitch picking up her phone! I have been calling for days now and she has been ignoring me! I mine I get that she might be angry at me for what I did but she is my twin sister, she should be with me always especially in times like this, especially with what I am going through, with my baby on the way and an originally absent baby daddy who suddenly decides to be present.
I need Yara right now but as usual she is being a totally bitch.
Her car is in the driveway so she is at home. I walked out of my car angrily ready to give Yara a piece of my mind, ready to totally cuss her out for ignoring during one of the most scary/ exciting moments of my life.
I was about to knock on the door of her apartment (which was technically ours before that big argument) when I noticed that it was locked.
That doesn’t make sense since her car is in the driveway, maybe she did not go somewhere far? I let myself in with the spare key I own and that is when I saw the state of the apartment.
That is when I knew that he has taken her. Raphael Fernandez, that sick psychotic bastard that also happens to be our godfather.
