YARA’S POINT OF VIEW
There is this girl who had tried to escape yesterday, she looks no older than seventeen, she looks frail and pale, like everything has been stripped away from her. This girl makes me question the love I feel for Raphael.
Amelia, seventeen year old, She has been continuously abused, constantly raped by Raphael Fernandez since she was twelve, I was brought to tears by her story, it is so… inhumane what happened to her… how could I have been so dumb to have fallen in love with such an abuser?!
I cannot look at him the same, in fact I never want to see him again, I hope Raphael Fernandez gets the punishment he deserves. I looked at the flash drive again, this can get Amelia the justice she deserves, this can bring Raphael the punishment he deserves.
I hand this flash drive over to Amelia, we have been plotting her escape for sometime now, me, her and one of Raphael most trusted employee. This employee has been on Raphael’s payroll for the longest time, he was the one in charge of keeping Amelia hostage but somehow he fell in love with her and now we all are working together to help Amelia escape, we are all working together to get Raphael Fernandez the punishment he deserves.
I never thought I will ever not be loyal to Raphael, all my life I have been his lap dog, I have always done what he said without questioning it, it was our thing, he orders… I obey it has always been that way.
Some of that loyalty comes from the obsession I had for him but most of it comes from the fear that grips me whenever I even conceive the idea of betraying him, I have seen what he has done to disloyal people, I see what he does to disloyal people, Raphael values loyalty above all things even above love, I always knew that I had to be loyal to him, it was a given but now I don’t think I can do that anymore, people are getting hurt, I have to do the right thing and that is to make sure Amelia and the others get the justice they deserve.
“Quick we have to go now.” Carl the employee that used to be on Raphael’s payroll said. Amelia and I are hugging tightly, I feel this connection to her, it’s almost like seeing myself, like experience all the horrible things all over again but this time I am not going to shrink in fear, this time I’m going to do the right thing.
Amelia and I let go of each other.
“See you on the other side.” Amelia said with a smile, she is going to get reunited with her family, she hasn’t seen any of them since she was kidnapped by Raphael, I feel really happy for her, she deserves to be happy.
I feel really happy for Amelia but also scared for what would surely follow my betrayal. Raphael has a way of finding out things, I have no doubt in my mind that he would find out about my betrayal and you know what maybe it’s time for me to stop running away from the inevitable.
Death. It is inevitable. I’m going to die by Raphael’s hands for my disloyalty but at least I will die happy knowing that Amelia is finally free.
RAPHAEL’S POINT OF VIEW
This is the moment that I have been waiting for, the moment that everything finally comes together, a full circle moment. I have thought of my revenge for so long, I have imagined it, fixated on it, I just knew it has to be good, the type of revenge that would be talked about for years to come.
After Diego’s accident, I thought that I had finally gotten the son I had always wished for, a son that I can confidently leave everything to, he became the ruthless mafia lord that I had always wanted him to be, the ruthless mafia lord that I had tried my best to mold him into for many years, things were finally starting to go well for me and my plan and then Diego decided to betray me.
He looked me straight in my face and put a bullet in me with no remorse whatsoever in his face, at that point I knew that I had created a monster and now I am going to play my role to make sure that this monster is put to death.
I don’t mind Diego being a monster but when he decided to betray me was when he crossed the line now he is going to pay for that betrayal.
The pieces of the chess boards are all here now; Diego, Valentina and that little child Diego seems to care so much about, that little child who I am quite sure is Diego’s, anyway Let the show begin…
VALENTINA’S POINT OF VIEW
“So I have a quest for you Valentina Sanchez.” Raphael said as his men untied me, Diego and Ava are still tied up, I don’t know where Sydney is, they took her away.
“This game is called shoot or save.” Raphael said, he smiled in a maniac way, he gives me the creeps, everything about him screams evil, he hurts people sometimes unprovoked. I remember growing up in his mansion, being scared out of my mind anytime he walked into a room, I knew to avoid him, everybody knew to stay out of Raphael Fernandez’s way. He is pure evil.
“So this are the rules of the game.” He said and paused, he seem to be enjoying the suspense and tension in the air.
“You have to shoot one of them with this gun, either your sweet sweet daughter Ava, or the love of your life as you like to call him, Diego. Shoot one and save the other and if you don’t do this then I will just have to kill all of you and of course that includes your sister Sydney. You have sixty seconds to do that by the way” Raphael said with a smile as he handed me a gun.
“Choose now Valentina, Ava or Diego, no in betweens”…
