Life in the Darkness CHAPTER 46
SHEENAI woke up to see myself in the room. I was about to make a move when I noticed someone was holding my hand.I peered to see who it was and noticed Tina had dozed off while watching over me."Oh my gosh, Sheena! You're awake!"I just smiled at her as she hugged me.I said quietly, "Thank you," and she moved away from me, smiling."Are you okay?"I simply nodded at her, but my smile faded as I remembered Father Ronaldo."S-sorry... It's all my fault," I apologized.I'm still blaming myself for what happened to Ronaldo's father. These things would not have happened if I hadn't been so desperate to catch the Carlos.Tina's parents died as a result of my actions. I was too careless in my actions, and I didn't consider the people around me."Sheena, I know you still blame yourself for what happened to my parents, but it's not your fault; Dad did the right thing, but some people just won't stop doing bad things.."Tina sobbed and covered her face."I-it hurts to accept... It's difficu

What exactly is this? What is Carlos's trick?No, it is not true.They can't just die because I haven't gotten justice and Shanna hasn't been captured.The Chief accompanied me to the morgue, where the Carlos were brought after the police said they found them lifeless hanging from the ceiling. I'm not going to believe it until I see them.Many members of the media and the general public were waiting to hear about Carlos' death when we arrived."Mrs. Ezrael,"I took a deep breath and simply nodded to the Chief as he got out of the car and opened the door for me.I went down and was greeted by the media, but they were blocked as we went inside.We went straight to where Carlos had been taken. I was taken aback when I noticed someone lying on the stainless steel bed."Mrs. Ezrael?"I was just shocked by where the one with the blanket was. I couldn't move my feet to go inside because I couldn't accept their deaths. I can't believe they died without even feeling pain."Would you like me to

SHANNANo.They are not dead.They're not going to kill themselves like that. They are familiar to me because they are my parents.When I heard what happened on the radio, I went straight to the morgue to see if I had heard correctly.I've hidden my face, and I'm not going to let them catch me.I tried to get into the morgue without alerting the media or the police. When I saw Mom and Dad were dead, I felt stabbed with pain, knowing they were truly gone.I can't believe they died so suddenly.I punched the mirror and examined the shattered mirror. I'm not going to let Sheena live. I'm going to kill her. It is entirely her fault that this is happening to me.If she had just killed herself before, none of this would have happened.She must die. I'll send her and her family back to hell. I'm not going to stop until I've killed her.I wiped away my tears as I prepared to leave my hiding place. They'll know where I'm hiding now. I'm not going to be caught alive.I packed my belongings and

"Let us put an end to her pain."They remained silent as Gaze said something to them. They see him and realize they don't like what's going on. Especially considering what happened to his wife."This is entirely my fault. I-I'm sorry."When Gion did speak, his son simply stared at him."H-huh? H-hon? What are you talking about?" Vanessa asked her restless husband."I-I'm sorry—""What exactly did you do?"Gion was taken aback and looked at his son, who was staring at him blankly. He bowed and swallowed."Your tone, A-Axel."Gaze paid no attention to Vanessa, who was puzzled about her husband and son.They can sense the conflict between the father and son.Leon coughed to make their uncomfortable situation less awkward."Right now, let's think about catching Shanna. She's the only ones left that we can press on their cases. "Maybe we can preserve Dad Ronaldo's corpse and postpone his funeral while Sheena is still sleeping," Leon said, supporting his wife."We'll go first because my wif

We've all been preparing for Father Ronaldo's ceremony. I know he's with his mother, Esme, and Daniella wherever he is.He was not to blame for what happened to us; he was simply a victim of Carlos' cruelty.I just sighed, put on my sunglasses, and got out of the car.Tina, who was staring at her father's picture, looked stunned. I just averted my gaze because I couldn't bear to see her like this. Because of me, she lost both of her parents. Nobody else is to blame but me.I lost someone important to me as a result of my decisions."We've arrived,"I blinked at Gaze, who was unbuckling my seatbelt. I simply smiled and gazed out the window. I was surprised to see so many media outlets and people still calling for justice for us.Gaze helped me get out of the car, and we were greeted by the media right away, but our staff stopped them, and I just smiled at them before we went straight to where Dad would be buried, right next to Mother Esme."Sheena,"When I saw Fey with her mother, I wa

"Shanna."She just chuckled at me and looked at the graves of Mother Esme and Father Ronaldo."Sad. "Do you think it was because of you that they died?" she asked, smirking.I was taken aback and backed away. I will not be caught off guard by what she says. She's just doing this to bring out my guilt because she might be right that they died because of me."Why haven't you surrendered to the police?" I asked her seriously, as she was stunned."Why should I give up while you're still alive?" I'll give up only when you're gone."I backed away from her until I was leaning against their grave."Stop it, Shanna," I said as I walked away from her."It's your fault that my parents were killed, and it's your fault that our lives have become miserable," she said. She also started shooting at the museum."Don't blame me for everything, Shanna. You're the one who made your life miserable; I've been your slave for 18 years; isn't that enough? " I asked her as I continued to walk away from her, bu

I opened my eyes and gasped, but I was stunned because it was dark, and I noticed that I was shaking in a car trunk.I tried to loosen the rope around my wrist, but it was too tight. When I try to remove the rope, it hurts even more.What will Shanna do with me? Oh, no. I can feel the smoke as well. Fuck.I turned around, but I couldn't move much because my legs were also tied. The blood on my thigh and leg had also dried up, but I could still feel numbness throughout my body.I just closed my eyes, dripping sweat and biting my lower lip. I attempted to loosen my tie again, but it appears that the used tie is unusual.When I felt the car stop, I also stopped moving. I remained silent for a moment, starting to feel Shanna's every move leading to where I am now."Hmm, perfect location!" I overheard Shanna say.I took a deep breath and closed my eyes to keep her from noticing I was awake. When she opened the trunk, I had to brace myself.The full moon caught my attention when the trunk w
