Twenty-one. 21."Ma'am I haven't seen Krystal anywhere," Chris whispered in my ears. "What do you mean? I saw her leave the house with you." I said and he stared in disbelief. "I haven't seen Krystal ma'am. I haven't even been to the house…." He was talking when one of his guys on black interrupted. "Sir, we've dear he'd everywhere, we can't find her." He said in a hush. "Krystal's nowhere to be found." Chris completed, affirming my thoughts and confirming my fears.Krystal would have gone to Lucas. That daft! I boiled in rage. "I know where Krystal is, Chris. Just let me handle it." I said calmly. "No. Anne, you'll handle nothing. You should have done better by making sure she didn't escape." He screamed at my face, hissed, and left.Anger filled my veins. My jaw hurts from the too much pressure I applied in clenching my teeth. Lucas! I'll make sure you pay dearly. I turned to leave but was stopped by Yolanda. "Hey Anne, where's Krystal? It's time for the prope

Twenty- two.22.The loud brawling coming from outside the gate drew my attention. I stepped out to see who it was. Krystal was already asleep. I was taken aback when I saw who it was and burst out laughing.Mom looks confused but this is not time for explaining. "Let him come." I ordered the guards that were holding him back.He marched his way forward, full of confidence like a militant. "Where is she?" He fumes."Who?" I asked, chuckling.Chris must have been obsessed with Krystal or his share in the agreement deal and he's afraid to lose one of each. The audacity he has to come to my house to ask about Krystal baffles me less but makes me laugh. "What makes you think she's here?" I asked him with a stern expression this time. "I know you've abducted her, Lucas and you better bring her out now before I do something you'd regret." He brawled. "You're capable of nothing, Chris. Krystal is with me and she goes nowhere." I replied. "You bastard!" He screamed, running towards me b

Twenty- Three. 23.Mom was already out of her skin by the time we got home. Lucas wanted me to stay back but after their heated argument, I had to leave with mom. I know Lucas was furious and so was mom. We both got to our rooms when we got home, silently not uttering a word to each other. I've expected her to nag and abuse and curse but rather she was unusually quiet, which feared me. Mom can be a crook but sometimes, I don't just understand her. Her silence can be worse than the growling of a hungry tiger. It looks like she's going to strike me soon with bad news. I have to act fastGoing into mom's room and finding out what was inside the drawer is going to be the only way out. It is going to be my weapon for defeat. But how I will penetrate through her doors will be the problem. Ever since she caught me sneaking out of her room, the security has become tighter. She doesn't trust me as much as I don't trust her, but I will find a way. The next day, I tiptoed towards mom

Secrets Unveiled.
Twenty - four. 24. "What should we do to the body? " Dalton asked sounding frightened. "What do you think we should do? " Anne asked. "Do you think we should dump it or…? " "Dumping his body is going to leak us out, burning him up isn't a good idea. We are going to melt him off his bones with this acid before burning up his bones. " Anne said pointing to some gallons of acid in the corners of the room. Her face wasn't visible but I could tell anywhere that it was her voice. "At least that would be better and easier to clean up. " "Ahhh! " I screamed, crying. I held onto Courtney. "It's okay, Krystal, " Courtney consoles crying too. "How could Mom be so wicked? Did you see what they did to Dad's body? Did you see how Mom killed Dad? " "Krystal, it is okay. ""How can it be okay, Courtney? " I asked rhetorically. This is what Mom has been hiding? How has Mom been comfortable after all these years, after doing something as dirty and evil as this?

Krystal confronted Anne.
Twenty-five. 25.I got home with a heavy heart. I knew no rest. My conscience judged me as though I was the one who killed Dad. I felt bad and responsible for his death but then, I am also a victim. A victim of mom's madness and insatiable cravings for powers. I sat to think, if I felt so guilty that Dad died, how would Mom feel or Dalton? I mean they were the ones involved in his death and yet they are living a peaceful life without any guilt. Why did Dad's spirit not fight back like the way I see it in movies? He should have fought back. This is the height of wickedness itself, for a woman to kill her husband. What did Dad do to deserve such from Mom and Dalton? The question throbbed in my heart and I urged to know why. Why did Mom do it? I spur up out of the room, out to Mom's room. She has a lot of answering to do, only she holds the answer to my questions. I barged into her room without even knocking because I was full of rage. "Krystal, what the… " she jumped

Krystal's visit to Dalton.
Twenty-six. 26. Krystal. I waited patiently but uncomfortably in his living room. I had come to see Dalton. The maid ushered me in exactly fifteen minutes ago but I haven't seen Dalton. Just as I contemplated leaving, Dalton came in. The devil's attendant. Mom is the devil herself. I swallowed down nothing. Since I knew Dalton, I have never spoken to him directly or been in an enclosed space with him alone. He looks bigger than I last saw him. Dalton in his huge self landed on the last stair, smiling broadly immediately after he saw me. Is it just my eyes or that Chris looks nothing like his parents? I kept mute and started sheepishly at Dalton until he got in the living room with me. "Good afternoon sir, " I greeted, blinking rapidly. "Krystal? You requested to see me? Or do you want to speak with Chris? " He asked impatiently, not even responding to my greetings. "No. I am not here for Chris. I am here to see you, Mr. Dalton, " I said politely givin

Dalton's Baffled.
Twenty-seven. 27. Ever since the last time Krystal visited, I have noticed the unsudden and discomfort in Dalton. He's acting weird and always seems to get lost every single minute. The way he jolted out of reverie anytime he's being talked to, is obscure. He feels insecure at most like he's got something chasing him in his head. I don't understand my husband anymore. "What is wrong with you, Dalton? Are you okay? " I asked daringly. He stared at me with remorse in his eyes, like he was apologizing for something. "I am fine, Yolanda. I just need to be alone, " he replied with a low voice. I wasn't satisfied with his response, so I sat down next to him holding his shoulders. "Dalton, talk to me. What is going on? I am tired of being in the dark. Tell me what is going on with you? " I was pressured. I want to know what is going on. I know for sure that things aren't ok and Dalton is only trying hard to make it look like things are good. But
