Rex slams his hands harshly against the wheel after getting inside the car. He felt maddened that Maria was right about everything, about his actions, his character, and worst of all, his love for Cherry!, but Rex’s ego won’t let him humble and accept the truth all at once, he’s always looking for someone to rain the faults. “Why is Mia making me look like the bad guy? Most of it isn’t my fault too!”. "Screw everything and everyone!" Rex roars one last time and puts the car in motion. The speed he drove was above the maximum limit required on a highway. He drove like a crazy person for thirty minutes, swerving through a few cars before his senses returned and he slows down remembering the consequences of speed driving. When he was out of the city he decides a spot by the roadside to park his car and unhooked his seat belt, then he leans back against the headrest scolding himself internally. ‘The last thing I want is to get involved in a road crash or kill someone. That will stir goss
At Susanna’s place (somewhere around midnight)… *knock, knock!* Susanna was just stepping out of the shower when someone knocked on her door. She was a bit skeptical at first because of the time but shrugs off the nauseous feeling in the pit of her stomach and goes to check it out. Putting on a black robe and wrapping her hair in a matching black towel she heads to the front door not without grabbing a pitcher from the fireplace as a weapon. She opens the door with a straight face only to see Ann glancing around uneasily but when their eyes lock she stopped staring and put on a confident look making Susanna smirk. “You asked me to come here.” Ann tells her. “Thought you won’t make it.” Susanna replies and makes way for Ann to come in. Ann steps inside but kept her guard high as she walked into the lion’s den. “You have a fair apartment?” Ann compliments weirdly after assessing the living room of Susanna’s flat, it amazed Ann how such a pretentious woman can keep this luxury alone
Back at Rex’s penthouse (Rex finally faced his family)…“You can say what you think is best but there is no way I am ever going to be in your secret gang, and you all are not welcome in my home!.” Rex tells his mother but tries to maintain a calm demeanor. She might be the worst mother of all time but he still has to show some respect as an older person and a mother to him.“Really Rex, I thought our meeting would be much different, you know, after being apart for nine years. I was looking forward to a reunion.” Hannah spoke looking away to show regrets in exchange for sympathy.“Aw- mom, don’t be sad. I’m sure brother is just upset about something.” Kayla comforts her mother.“Just look at you both, your traits are the same, so don't claim you know me!. I am not the same boy you knew in the past mom, spare me the drama.” Rex flares up in anger.“Why are you so upset with us Rex? Especially mom?.” Kayla asked him.“I am not upset- I am furious, at you both! and your presence just made
(continuation)Flashback…(a day after Rex’s fifth birthday: Wednesday morning, somewhere in Washington)“Wasn’t it the best day ever!” Hannah groans tiredly beside her husband. They were still stuck lying in bed after last night’s birthday party for Rex. Both Hannah and Marcelo threw the biggest party Washington has ever seen, beating the record of their friends and other relatives. Hannah adores her son’s unique cuteness and sometimes forgets she wasn’t the only mother with the cutest child in the world.“Of course, after that killer birthday party you made me pay for, I deserve a week's rest.” Marcelo grumbles and turns to hold Hannah closer.She laughs mocking his misery. “You needed to, you know. Rex is your son and he deserves the best.”“No, seriously. Those kids nearly put an end to my life, sometimes I do wonder how you put up with them.” Marcelo grumbles into her hair with his eyes still closed. Hannah laughs at her husband“Who can believe such cuteness became the rainbow i
Back in Cherry’s apartment… The next day… Cherry woke up to the smell of fried potatoes and eggs, and immediately her stomach growled for the delicious goodness. It was as if all the sleep and tiredness vanished in an instant. Cherry didn’t want to waste any time and got up, ready to follow the aroma but screamed in surprise when she found Maria leaning against the door frame in her bedroom watching her. “Greasy bluffer! Stop doing that!.” Cherry yells in frustration. “Doing what?” Maria raised a confused eyebrow at her. “Sneaking up at me all the time, it’s unsettling and terrifying!.” Cherry tells her. “I’m sorry I scared you, I didn’t mean to. I was only waiting for you to wake up before I left the apartment.” Cherry sighs rubbing her waist, she then removes the blanket covering her and sat at the edge of the bed. Cherry stares at Maria with eager eyes waiting for a reply but her friend didn’t understand what Cherry wanted and rose her eyebrow in question. “Where is it?” Che
Somewhere in So-Ho… “Any leads on the kidnap of Cherry blues?” The chief executive for protocol and tracking visits the police station where he was supposed to be working on a kidnap case. He marches inside the massive structure while talking with a junior ranking officer as they made their way to the discussion table also known as the conference room. “Not yet sir, but we do have Intel from our source who managed to identify where the suspect might be hiding.” Corner, a junior ranking officer handed the duty of collecting Intel from an unknown source follows the chief with poofs of his files. “Hmm- Intel? I don’t think that will be enough.” The chief says. “Well… sir, it is, because we believe the suspect must have gone or might be hiding in a secluded area along the region the Intel was received. If we gather a search party I am sure we can trace the exact location they are hiding.” “How convenient. I want full details about the chase, I want to know how far our police got befor

She grabs her shoulder bag from the closet loading it with items that should call for concern then she goes to wash her hands in the kitchen and wipes them dry with a rag which she later disposed of. After ensuring all her belongings were secure and inside her bag she storms out of the motel room holding her head high as she catwalks away from the building. The few people who lived in the motel were stunned by the aura and power she carried about, and the male gender wouldn’t keep their eyes to themselves and whistled out loud when she walked past them but the females were intimidated by the woman’s personalit
Maria reaches the apartment but something feels odd about the community compared to when she left, her nerves were jumbling like something wasn’t right. She climbed out of the car and walks cautiously to the building. Maria noticed a strange unfamiliar car parked in front of the apartment but she didn’t think much about it because it wasn’t anything fancy, she walks into the apartment and strangely there wasn’t anyone downstairs, not even the caretaker she met some minutes ago was around. ”That’s weird?” Maria mutters to herself and proceeds to the floor Cherry’s apartment is located. “Where is everybody? As Maria advances she reaches behind and wraps her hand on the solid part of the pocket knife she kept hidden in her belt just in case she needed to defend herself. The only thing bothering her is Cherry’s safety, and she believes Cherry hasn’t left the apartment. ‘is it me or is something off about the morning?’ she asked herself.
