Chapter Twenty-Two
We've already returned to Manila.
When we left the hacienda, Mamita was in tears. We were the last to leave, Aries and I. Luna and her friends were among the first to depart. Their semester break is coming to an end, and they will resume classes the following day. The next day, Aries' friends left with Mama Sadie and Uncle Leanna.
"What's up, everyone! I've returned!" When I walked into the living room, I yelled. When they heard my voice, the maids in the kitchen panicked. They greeted us before taking our luggage from the car.
"Hello there, Rosa! I've been missing you!" I told the house's chief servant.
Rosa laughed and was about help in carrying the luggage, Aries stopped her. I smiled as I clung to her arm. When she noticed my grin, she shook her head. "Miss Nola, we missed you as well. Because you weren't present, the house was deafeningly quiet "In a formal tone, she

I blinked my eyes open.The sight of the familiar white walls greeted me. Aristotle was sitting on a stool beside my bed, I noticed. He was clutching my hand while his head was down.

"Nola!" he exclaimed, immediately standing up to assist me in resting my back on the headboard.When they heard Aries, Link, Keegan, Malcolm, and Ynigo all stood up. Gio returned to Samar, which is why he isn't here. "What happened?" While massaging my temples, I talked."You passed out. The doctors performed some tests for you," he replied.

The funeral home asked me to select a dress for Niah.Nothing is more agonizing than selecting a dress for one's sister to wear for her funeral. My heart shattered the moment the doctor declared her dead. My sister took a piece of me with her when she died. What bothers me is that I only recently realized she doesn't have any outerwear.

"What have you been up to?" When I walked into the chapel, Aries was concerned. He appeared worried, but not because I was lost. I can sense it. He was simply checking to make sure I didn't go to the garden.However, he was unlucky. I went to the garden and looked around. She's back, isn't she? What is he going to do? Will he terminate the contract? Will he take the child away from me?Unknown fear began to infiltrate my being... If he ever did that to me, I would despise him. "Answer me, Nola? Where have you been? Did you see anything?" He asked a series of questions, and I confirmed it there. He wasn't just concerned about me; he was also concerned about what I might see outside.Although my mind was in disarray, I maintained a calm demeanor. "No, I just went for a walk there," I said, pointing to the opposite side of the chapel. The garden's opposite side. I could hear him sigh with relief.

He drew me into his room as I was about to enter the guest room. "You can't stay in my room, Angel," he said to me as he dragged me inside. He slammed the door shut, not allowing her to say anything. Then he turned to face me.I turned away from him and went to bed. I ignored him, but he simply sighed and walked to his table near the window, where he began typing. I sighed and fell asleep. I was simply exhausted after being entertained by ninja turtles.From now on, I'll refer to Keegan, Ynigo, Gio, and Link as Ninja Turtles.I was surprised to see five of them at the dinner table the next day. "Oh, don't you have houses?" I wondered aloud.There was a heaviness in the air that pervaded the entire dining room. When we heard a voice, they all grunted.

"Rosa, has Aries called yet?" I wondered out loud when I awoke.The maid simply shook her head and began preparing food for me. I have no appetite because I just feel sick. My head is slightly spinning so I closed my eyes for a while."Ma'am, are you okay?" she inquired as he placed the glass of milk on the table. I just nodded and closed my eyes. Before entering the kitchen, I heard her sigh.I closed my eyes as I heard Gio's footsteps behind me. "Good morning, Gov," I said as I closed my eyes."Are you okay?" The familiar baritone voice jolted me awake. It wasn't Gio! It was Aries!I sat up and began eating. I moved a little when I noticed him sitting next to me. Gio's footsteps entered the kitchen.
