DIEGO’S POINT OF VIEW
My dream does not make sense but yet somehow it does, it is kinda like my mind is starting to remember but somehow I do not want to accept something that my heart already knows, something my heart has already accepted. I know i love her, I get my heart has known of this fact since the day I set my eyes on her that day at the alleyway, she looked familiar, it felt like I had known her from somewhere like she was from my past life or something.
If the part about her being the love of my life before the accident is true does it also mean that the part about her not killing my brother is also true? That can’t be! I know she did it! I saw the footage! What happened five years ago! Why can’t I remember?! Why is my brain so fucking useless!
And now the only person who can explain everything to me has somehow vanished! I’m going to get to the bottom of this and who ever helped her escape is going to feel my wrath.
I looked at Giovanni, he still looked as arrogant as he has always been just with a tinge of helplessness this time.
“I assure you my people are searching for me so the best thing you can do for yourself is to let me go!” Giovanni said smugly. I am still in my head, still thinking of the life I once lived but cannot remember, the life I had lived five years ago.
What does Valentina know? What do they all know? Why did they lie that it was a skiing accident? Was it even a lie? Who should I believe; Valentina, my supposed love from another lifetime who has shown me countless of times why I should not trust her or Damian my twin brother who I remember growing up with, my twin brother who had betrayed me for this same Valentina.
Or do I believe my fuzzy spacey memory, there is no greater pain that not knowing who you are, what you were, the pain of not remembering, not knowing who to trust runs deep.
“What would your cousin Leilani think of you if anything happens to me.” Giovanni said again, his words cut into my thoughts in an annoying way. He is like though annoying mimicking parrot that you sometimes have to get away from. I placed one of my hand on his head and the other on his chin, I twisted and his head snapped off its sockets, that’s one way to shut up this human parrot I guess.
“Throw his body into the flames and then leave I have to think.” I said, Cole nodded, him and another of my workers took Giovanni’s body out and into the room of flames which is basically a large underground incinerator.
Finally the noise is out, finally I can think.
YARA’S POINT OF VIEW
I like my new job, I like how bustling the pastry shop gets, I like the smell of flour mixed with eggs and sugar, I like the smell of cakes mix with Christmas and happiness. Everything is perfect, I have a job now! Maybe I can finally just move one.
So there is this new girl Valentina, she’s super cool I don’t know why but something about her seems very familiar but I can’t place it.
“Hey Yara, two croissants and a box of doughnuts please.” Valentina said, oh yeah I now work at the storage unit, I guess that can count as a promotion if you think of it, from the back desk to the storage unit maybe soon Blake will finally let me work up front who knows.
I handed Valentina the orders and caught a glimpse of the cute little girl Daisy who often frequents the shop with her mother. She reminds me of my long time desire to someday have a child of mine, I smiled at her, she smiled back.
I like everything about working at Blake’s pastry shop well almost everything or should I say everything and everyone except Hailey the cashier, in three words she hates me not sure why but since the day I walked in here she has had it out for me constantly trying to get me fired.
There was this time she tripped me purposely when I had a cake in my hand, I at first thought it was an accident but the way her face looked made me realize that it was not, the other time she blamed for for money going missing! She is just out here actively trying to ruin my life!
I was still hanging out at the front part of the store since we were a bit short on staffs, Blake and Valentina had left for a quick home delivery so I’m stuck here with Hailey, great just great! We don’t talk, we do our best to ignore each other which is much more better than she actively trying to ruin my life, I will take a quiet Hailey over a bitchy one any day.
Two people walked in a guy and a lady, I did not notice when they walked in because I was trying to register all the orders we have had today.
“What are you waiting for go and take their order!” Hailey as in that bitch from hell said. I did my best to hide my anger, I like to stay emotionless, I hate giving her the satisfaction of thinking that she has managed to rile me up.
I walked up to the table and was ready to take their order, with my pen and note pad in mid air I froze. Zara?! She had the same shocked look that I had on my face too.
I looked away to gain my composure and then turned to them; my sister Zara and the guy she had by her side.
“Ready to order?” I said with a smile, my face held no mark of recollection, my face made it seem like my own sister who I have known since before I was born is nothing but a stranger.
Zara frowned at me.
“I will have a piece of strawberry cake.” Zara said also looking back at me like I am a stranger.
ZARA’S POINT OF VIEW
Is she being for real right now?! Why is she acting like she does not know me! I really don’t understand! Is this Yara or some sort of doppelganger? I know it is Yara because I know my sister but I don’t understand the reason for her pretending like she doesn’t know me, I mean I literally put myself at risk going to the island and handing myself over to Raphael just so I can find her and now I have found her and she ignores me?!
It doesn’t make sense, Yara would never do that, at least not to me, I am sure she has a good reason maybe she is just trying to protect me from something or someone, I just have to make all this make sense somehow…
I saw her through the window, I saw her walk to the back of the store, I know this is the only chance I might ever get to talk to her alone. So I stood up from the table I was sharing with Delvin.
“I need some air, I’ll be back pretty soon.” I said to Delvin, he studied me for a while.
“Should I come with you?” He asked concerned.
“No!” I said almost immediately, the word come out much more forceful that I would have liked. Delvin frowned.
“Okay whatever.” He said, he has been in a sour mood ever since he got back from his dad’s he wouldn’t tell me why.
I walked out of the store and caught up with my sister at the back.
“Okay start talking, why have you been avoiding me?” I asked doing my best to keep my anger at bay. I am sure she has a good reason, there is no reason for me to get angry at her. She continued throwing some garbage into the recycle bin, she had her back to me and was ignoring me.
“Stop ignoring me! The actual fuck Yara!” I yelled turning her forcefully to face me. She was facing me now.
“I was ignoring you because I don’t want anything to do with you anymore Zara! You are a really selfish person! I’m done being there for you! Just stay the fuck away from me and stop acting like a damn psycho!” Yara yelled. I did not expect the sudden outburst from my own sister, the part that hurt the most is her face, she looked like she meant every single word she said.
I guess I know the truth now, I guess now I can stop deceiving myself that she is only avoiding me to protect me.
Against my will a drop of tears slipped from me eyes, I wiped it away then another followed then another until I was full on cry, I looked at my sister pleading with her silently to take back every word she had said, she looked away and instead started to walk away.
“Zara we have to leave now!” Delvin yelled. There was this urgency in his voice, I was still standing there, he pulled me by the hand, he looked a bit… scared…
