"MOMMY, where are we going?" nine-years-old Jenny asked her mother."We're just going to visit a relative in Leyte," Dalia replied to her daughter while busy packing. They would deliberately leave at night so that no one can see."Is that far?""Quite." She glanced at the child. "Oh, are you done with your bag?""Can I bring all my stuffed toys?"She glanced at the child's toys that almost covered the entire bed. "Just choose the ones you bring.""Why?" She asked naively."Dear, don't ask too many questions.""Why?" Jennifer asked her mother.Dalia could not answer her daughter's repeated question because of her husband's hasty entry into the room."You have to leave! Go through the basement!""What's happening?" Dalia felt frightened because of the extreme worry on her husband's face."We don't have time! Hurry up!" Daryl feared not for himself, but for his wife and daughter.Dalia carried their daughter. The girl also peeked out the window and saw some armed men outside their house.
"Aunt Amber?" the corners of her eyes warmed when Jenny finally recognized her. Even though she was young that time and only met her once, she still remembered her.Her mother would always talk about her. Jenny also remembered that Amber was the last person her mother mentioned that she would approach for help. But because of what she discovered today, she began to wonder if her mother trusted the right person. She thought of the possibility that she was just like her husband.Jenny saw the movement of Amber’s index finger, so she knew she was awake. "Is that you? Are you my mom's best friend? And the person I hate is your husband?" Jenny asked again.Amber’s head moved and her eyes opened to see the person speaking."What did my family do for you to destroy us? I became an orphan because of your husband's wickedness! Is it money? Our wealth? You traded your friendship with my parents for that?" Jenny couldn't stop venting the anger that she had been concealing.She noticed tears in A
"Tonight, we'll ambush the police so we can get the three prisoners." Sasha suddenly changed the subject after remembering their mission."I know, good thing I have the day off from work." A strange smile appeared on Jenny's lips. What Edwin knew was that she will be watching over her sick mother, so she won't be able to come back tonight.After eating, the two decided to go home. But Jenny made sure no one followed them. When they arrived at their hideout, Lando was still asleep, Sasha purposely gave him a sleeping pill before leaving. He also had a gag in his mouth and his body was tied tightly. Even if he woke up without anyone guarding him, he wouldn't be able to escape."He'll be awake tomorrow morning, so we can leave."Jenny nodded to her friend and prepared the weapons they were going to bring.Before the appointed time, Sasha and Jenny were already there on the road where they planned to ambush the vehicle the criminals were riding. James will be there, too, because he also h
Dino glared at James when he came with blood on his clothes. He was definitely bragging again because he did the job alone. According to him, he paid a police to conspire with, so the job became easier."Good job! You can be counted on for this job and I hope you don't end up like Lando!" Edwin’s face was grim as he remembered the man."Thank you, boss! This is proof that they are dead and I buried them in a deep pit." James proudly dropped the bloody clothes in front of the old man."Those clothes aren't enough to say you killed them." Dino clicked his tongue.James turned to Dino with his teeth gritted. "If you are dissatisfied with my work, go to where I buried them and dig!""You dig up and bring their heads here, don't pass the job to me!" Dino sneered at James."Stop it, Dino! You've been babbling when you didn't even help!" Edwin yelled at the man. He didn't have time for their fights because he had a lot of plans in mind. What mattered to him was that his problems had been redu
"Any news?" Jenny cautiously whispered to James."I think your hunch is right. It looks like the three of them are in cahoots." James answered while chewing his food and his eyes were focused on the television.From where they were sitting, Jenny watched Edwin and Jackie pass by. She frowned slightly when he saw Edwin’s hand on her aunt’s waist. They made their way into Amber’s room."She is probably after my wealth. And I will not let them take what my parents worked so hard for!" Jenny muttered as she gazed at Edwin and Jackie."Change of plan?" James asked with his head bowed, pretending to be busy eating.Jenny looked at her friend. "Probably." She gave him a short answer."Just don't tell me that Yazed is the alternative plan you see." James took a guess. As a man, he was jealous of the boy who once became Jenny's inspiration.Jenny laughed at him. "You really know me.""Isn't there another way? I don't trust that man!" James knitted his brows. This time, he was staring at Jenny'
"DAMN!" Yazed got up annoyed because he couldn't sleep. "What's wrong with that woman and I can't get her out of my mind? Did she put a spell on me?" Yazed talked to himself.He lay down again, but quickly got up and left the room. "That woman! She must have charmed Dad too."Yazed went straight to the kitchen and drank cold water before deciding to go to his mother’s room."Ma…" He said as he sat down. "I know it's not really appropriate for me to tell you how I feel. But I'm confused. That woman is provoking me. Your personal nurse. Yeah, I'm talking about her. I think, she is not only a gold-digger. She is also insane. She must've hit her head. Believe me."Amber was silently staring at the white ceiling of the room; she woke up when her son entered. She let him express his thoughts. Her heart warmed knowing it was the real Jenny who was in her son’s mind."And sorry to tell you this, but Dad has an affair with her."Amber slowly turned her head to Yazed and stared at him in disbel
Jenny observed Amber as she sat quietly in the wheelchair and her impostor cousin was talking to her. They were in the garden to bask her in the sun."Auntie, I'm sorry, I won't be here for long. Yazed and I have to go somewhere." Jennelyn talked to Yazed's mother.Jennifer quietly sniggered while listening to her impostor. She was so into the role that was originally hers in Yazed's family. Edwin left a few days ago and she knew he had gone to a foreign country. It was suspicious enough that even her aunt disappeared."J-Jenny…""Yes, Aunt, I'm here. Is there something you want to tell me?" Jennelyn spoke softly to the woman.Amber just frowned at the person in front of her. The woman who introduced herself as Jenny was kind, but she couldn't feel that she was the real Jenny. She was very worried that her son might fall in love with ‘Jenny’ and not recognize the real woman he was meant for.Amber slowly turned her head and looked for the hostile woman she believed to have a good hear
Amber was apparently happy as she watched the young woman in front of her. There was no doubt that she was the real Jenny. She looked at her proudly because she was now a strong woman. She didn't easily back down; she knew how to defend herself.Jenny's face quickly returned to formal when she noticed that Amber was staring at her. "You know, your son is ugly. He’s stupid because he can easily be deceived by that fake girl!"Instead of being angry at her for insulting her son, Amber felt happier that she was talking to her. She was the Jenny she knew, not a pretender who concealed her attitude.Jenny pouted even more and was annoyed because the woman was laughing at her. But when she remembered their situation, she suddenly became serious. "Why aren't you angry?""Jen… ny…"Jenny looked at Amber’s face sadly. She felt sorry for her because she could only say her name. She suddenly missed her mother, so she couldn't stop the tears from flowing. She didn't bother to hide her true identi
