“Ann, may I see you in my office?” Rex asked over the phone and mutes it instantly not waiting for a reply. It’s been days since he last saw Cherry in G-Stark and he was getting worried. Rex also noticed Maria had scarcely visited him at home and at work except when she needed to steal some important things from him (in his presence) and without regrets. Maria no longer troubles him as she used, and the strange thing about it was that Rex missed every moment of it, but now there wasn’t a reason to get mad at anything. ‘both of their absence couldn’t be coincidental. Could it be that Maria knows where Cherry is?’ Rex bombards himself with crazy thoughts concerning Cherry. A few days before Cherry stopped coming to work Rex observed a slight change in Cherry’s dressing, mood, body size and eating habits, it also correlates with Maria’s strangeness, coming to his home early in the morning, at noon, and at night to make breakfast, lunch, and dinner. ‘FOR WHOM!’ and she refuses him to touc

"Cherry, this isn't you. You are not the same girl you used to be, neither are you the same girl I knew in the past. Why have you become softer than fluffy bunnies? You are too soft on people, what's the matter with you?" "Urgh… I don’t know. I can’t explain why I feel this way, it’s… it’s strange." “If I didn’t know you were strange would I have told you!” “Don’t nag at me!” "Can't you fix it? This isn’t healthy." "I tried but I don't know how." "You really surprise me Cherry, you really do surprise me." "How?" "You're just different." “Enough with your wise tongues and help me out!” “You’ll look good if you were a little meaner.” "No, I like it this way." "I don't know who I am seeing right now, where is my strong bold warrior?” "First of all, I am nowhere close to being bold or strong." "Then it's the baby." "Well thank you, but my baby is not at fault either. I guess it's the food Maria has been spoiling me with, she doesn’t let me eat what I want and I get annoyed b

Back at the cabin in the woods where James and Carlo hide… "So you're expecting me to believe you are not who I think you are?" James roared frustratingly at the young girl tied to a rocking chair. He lashes out upset she didn’t want to be Cherry. "Yes, I am not this Cherry person you think I am and I will continue to admit it until you let me go. For the love of crisis, I don’t even know you!.” Cherry screams. “Nice trick Cherry, but you can’t run away from me anymore.” James snicker. “Are you even listening? I just told you everything I know, I am not your girl and you are not someone I want to ever be with! Have you tried considering the possibility that we shared the same name and same looks?" Cherry tries convincing her abductors who refused to believe her claims. Her words just seem to go through one ear and come out of the other. James went mad with rage because of her declaration while Carlo was having the time of his life drinking a pack of juice box he found in the fre

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

(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
