I know he did it.
I know he sent Eric those pictures!
The door flies open and Ramon stands inside, surprised to see me.
"What do you want?"
I slap him so hard across the face.
His face turns red and pale.
He glares at me.
"What's wrong with you, Camilla?""No. You! What's wrong with you? How dare you sent those pictures to Eric! He broke up with me! Are you happy now?"
"I don't understand." He stares at me in bewilderment. "What are you talking about?"
I throw the pictures in his face. Our pictures in the past. Us in bed together. Us in parks and dates. I never even knew he had those pictures in the first place!!!
"How would you do something like that to me! It was upon me to tell him the truth about us! Not you! Again, you have deceived me. You have hurt me allover again! You have broken my heart! AGAIN!!!"
He grabs my arm and dra

I scan her from head to toe suspiciously.She's a stranger. So I don't know how the hell she knows my name."I don't know you...""I know.""Who are you? How do you know me?"She narrows her eyes at me. "Don't I look familiar?"I observe her carefully the second time but I am one hundred percent sure that I have never seen this woman."No!" I say with certainty.

CAMILLA"Mom?"My mother looks up at me."Do you think Dad was a good man?"She sets down the cup of tea and stares at me quizzically."Why are you asking me this?"It is because of everything Ramon told me yesterday. I still can't believe that dad was such a heartless and cold man. He was the completely different in my eyes. I saw him as this sweet and gentle man who loved me dearly. He was my hero to say the least. He loved me. He cared for me. He made sure I got everything I ever wanted when I wanted. He spoiled me with a bundle of expensive gifts every chance he got. He was nothing close to the picture Ramon had painted of him. I got to hear of a side of dad I never knew before...I am even second guessing if there's any tint of truth to the account of events he revealed.

"We are not sure if Andrew is alive."I sigh."But you and Mom have seen him on different occasions.""That's not solid evidence," Ramon argues. "Maybe it's just us hallucinating...""What if it's not hallucinations? What if this case might link him and we might find him?"He shakes his head. "I don't think he's stupid enough to make a move that will lead us to him. So I doubt if he's really even involved in this missing case."I hate to admit it but what he's saying actually makes sense."Plus," he continues. "Who is this woman? Do you even know her?""She's some strange woman that showed up at my house asking for our dad," I explain. "Now that I think about it, I find it really strange..."He stares at the newspaper intently and looks up at me, startled."She shockingly looks so much like you!" He stops and freezes. "Did she say she was looking for your dad?"I nod.
