We almost reached Miano's room when Nathan suddenly stops. Confused I look over at him.“What’s wrong?” He takes both my hands in his and then looks into my eyes with a look of concern.“Are you alright, Amore? This was quite a day and then you had to deal with Carter as well.”The care and concern showing in his eyes at this moment warmed my heart beyond words. I think in this life, even after death, I could never love someone more than I love him. They say the eyes are the window to your soul, and what true words those are. That is why I knew Nathan loves me more than he could ever say with words.I tilt my head smiling up at him.“With you by my side, nothing is ever too much or too hard. Thank you, Nathan.” He pulls me into his arms and then wraps his arms around me. As my head rests against his chest I listen to his heartbeat sounding like a lullaby.Nathan pulls away from the hug.“We should go in before the food gets cold.” He takes my hand as we walk into the room. Miamo is

DR. MARTIN'S POVSitting on the edge of the couch while bouncing my leg out of anxiety I waited impatiently. Hearing the front door open I jump up…“Alfred is that you?” I called out.Alfred walks into the living room.“What took you so long? I have been waiting for you all morning?” I look at his hands for an envelope. “Did you get it? This has been the longest three days of my life!”“Yes, Sir here is the results…” I quickly take it, but before tearing the envelope open I look at him. “Do you already know?”“No, Sir.”I nod, then start to tear the envelope open, pulling out the DNA result, and reading it out loud.Alleged Father; MianoChild; AmoreThe alleged father is not excluded as the biological father of the tested child. Based on the testing results obtained from analyses of the DNA loci listed, the probability of paternity is 99,9999%.“Alfred!!! Did you hear what I just read?”I look at the results with shock, reading it again and again…“I can't believe it…, I can't believ

“Noo don't… please don't!!” The sound of screaming awakens Amore. “Ow my head” With closed eyes she tries touching her head, but her hands would just not move. She tries yanking on the thing holding her hand from touching her head, but nothing works. Confused, she tries opening her eyes, she blinks a few times before she could finally open them. Darkness… complete darkness … was all she could see. Her smell and hearing senses increased, letting her hear sounds she would never have heard. The smell of rotten flesh filled her nostrils, almost making her gag. The sound of dripping water could be heard from somewhere in the room but except for that, it was silence. The previous screams she heard were gone. Only silence remained with the constant dripping sound.“Help me… .” Terrifying muffled screams could be heard from another room, then there was silence again. She waited… listening for the person to scream again, praying that they would be alright, but after a while, all hope was lost

“I need to hurry… I need to get out of these chains,” Amore told herself silently. She looked down at Billy who is lying on his side. Her eyes travel around his body searching for the keys to unlock the lock that was holding her hands together with the chains, her eyes stopped at his belt. She noticed a set of keys that was tied to a key chain on his belt loop. She looked up and followed the chain that was tied to her hands going over a hook and then connected to the wall. Her head jerked to the door as she hears murmurs approaching. Her heart beat increasing with every second, she knew she had to hurry. Biting on her bottom lip, she tightened her hold on the chain and started swaying her body back and forth building momentum. The only way to get out of these chains is to unhook herself from the hook the chain was hanging on, every time almost making it by an inch. The sweat dripped from her forehead, losing her grip on the chain now and then, as her hands slipped. ‘This is not workin

‘This is excruciating.’ Amore thought as she walked up to a big tree that was surrounded by thick bushes. She could not walk anymore. They have been walking for a while now and were pretty far from that house. She slides down against the tree instantly closing her eyes out of exhaustion and fell asleep.Amore woke up to the drizzle of rain falling on her face. She looked next to her seeing Caity still asleep. “Caity…Caity.” She shook Caity trying to wake her up.Caity instantly sat up rubbing her eyes.“Yes?” Caity asks questionly.“We need to go. Come on. "Amore slowly stood up grunting from the pain running through her body. Caity stood up using the tree as support. They slowly walked further through the forest until they finally reached a favela. Gray clouds covered the sky while the hills were hidden under the fog, the weather befitting of Amore's and Caity's mood. As they walked through the narrow street, many tangled electrical wires ran above their heads from one house to ano
