Russell, the owner of Tuna Waves restaurant, received an invitation card, which he showed to his wife because both of them received it.“A get-together party?” Jessica was initially happy, but not after seeing the name of the person that was inviting them. “N-Natasha? D-Did she send you this invitation card?”“Yes, through courier,” Russell said. “I don’t know what she’s up to, but I think it’s not worth going to this reunion.”Jessica didn’t ask why because she knew how much he had to go through because of Natasha a few years back.“It’s not just because of her, but you know, we’re not the same anymore,” Russell said. “If we go now, and our classmates look at us with eyes of envy… I’d rather remember them through my school memories.”“If you don’t want to be affected in that way, then you don’t have to come,” she said.“Wait, you’re thinking of going?”“It doesn’t hurt to just go and talk with them once, right?” Jessica said. “I promise you I won’t tell them any of your secrets.”“Do

“Why don’t you and your mom stay at my house?” Mia asked Gabe. Both of them were standing in front of the grocery store.“I can give you many reasons, but you’ll be hurt by them, so…” Gabe said.“D-Do you think they’ll poison you or something?” Mia hesitantly asked.Gabe shrugged.“They are not good people, but I don’t think they’re criminals,” Mia said.“I can risk living there for you, but I can’t risk my mom living with them,” Gabe was as frank with her as possible. “She’s already been through a lot. I don’t want her to experience unnecessary family drama now.”“...I understand,” Mia didn’t press him regarding this anymore. “But where are you going to stay?”“Mom wants to build a new house here. It will take a couple of months even if we get it done fast,” Gabe said. “Until then, we’ll live at Zuri’s house.”“Z-Zuri’s house?” Mia didn’t know what to say because she knew that Zuri died. “I-Isn’t it dangerous to live there? Also, what will the people think? What will your mom think?”

It happened in the blink of an eye. The truck dashed past the vision of Nicole and Mia in a second, throwing Gabe into the distance, sinking the hearts of women down to their stomachs.As Mia and Nicole ran to where Gabe was sent flying, Jessica stood in shock, still unable to process what just happened.The driver had shouted and moved out of the way because there was no time, and then Gabe pulled her out of the truck’s path just in time. But in doing so, he couldn’t escape and got hit by the vehicle.The truck didn’t stop and dashed away, but seeing how her limousine was utterly destroyed, three-fourths of it starting from the back, Jessica didn’t think there was even a slight chance of Gabe surviving it. After all, just the sheer impact from such a fast moving vehicle could have likely stopped his heart, she thought.But then, as Mia and Nicole ran over to Gabe, he was already getting up to his feet, which shocked both of them.Nicole was also crying. “Gabriel!” she began to check

A few minutes earlier. Russell was reading a report in his office in Tuna Waves. It was a report that contained details on plastics. “They are filled with estrogenic chemicals, and are bending the genders of males slowly by reducing their sex drive, making them infertile, giving them boobs, and not to forget, cancer. This is pretty crazy…” Russell couldn’t even read the full report because it was so horrific. “I was wondering why there were so many effeminized men these days, but it seems that there’s a darker truth behind all this. Just how many people store water in plastic bottles and drink every day not realizing how dangerous they are? If just the plastics can do so much harm, then what about all the other chemicals that are polluting the food, water, and air?” Just thinking about it put a significant burden on his heart. “I had the research done after Chef Nicole told me that plastic chopping boards are not safe for the health of the customers… But now, I’ve stumbled onto a

The doctors made Gabe take so many tests that he got sick and tired of it. When a nurse asked him to pee in a bottle so they’d examine his urine, Gabe had enough of it.“I’m totally fine!” she yelled and then ran away from them. Many nurses and doctors chased him, but he was very good at evading them. Nevertheless, he couldn’t leave the hospital because Nicole and Mia were still there. And Nicole told him to listen to the doctors.Gabe whispered to her, “Mom, your health didn’t improve because of doctors like these. Don’t forget that.”Nicole was surprised to hear that. Now that she thought about it, what was the liquid that he injected her with that her health improved overnight? She wanted to know the answers, but Gabe didn’t tell her yet, so she didn’t pressure him, either.In the end, Gabe had to take more tests to please Nicole. While Gabe was worried what the doctors would make of his blood, the test results came as normal, relieving him.As Gabe and others were living, Russell

“Your father is innocent,” Gabe said, “but I believe that someone might be forcing your dad to do this.”Jessica looked at her dad who then frowned visibly. She stepped closer to him, but Russell intervened and kept her a few feet away. Russell looked at Gabe. “How can you say that he’s not the one behind the wheel when there’s clear footage?”“If someone were to wear a skin mask that looks like Jessica’s dad and then drives the vehicle and attempts to kill Jessica….” Gabe slowly uttered so that his words would penetrate deeper into those that were hearing, “then they can get away by putting the blame on her dad. But because Jessica survived, it’s possible that they approached her dad and threatened him to act like he’s the criminal.”Gabe’s words made a great lot of sense to Russell and Jessica. To add to that, Jessica’s dad opened his mouth and said, “They seem like very dangerous people, Jessica. I thought it was better that I go to jail for now, and then contact you and your husba

At a spa called Rhapsodia.“Y-You want me to work here in a spa?” a girl looked shocked as she was talking with an agent. “But this isn’t what you promised. You told me you’d get me a tech job.”“There’s no vacancy there, so I brought you here. This is a family spa, so nothing shady happens here,” he told her and took her inside to meet with the manager who was Derek Walker, the younger brother of Jessica.“Will I earn well in this spa?” she asked Derek.“Haha, if you work as a waiter in a restaurant, you’ll only get ten to fifteen dollars an hour,” Derek said. “But here you’ll earn anywhere between twenty to fifty dollars depending on your experience and client preference.”“F-Fifty dollar per hour?” the girl was shocked. “Who would pay fifty dollars just for massaging? I’m sure the clients will ask for kisses or other strange things, right?”“No, Miss,” Derek patiently explained. “Don’t compare my spa with others. I don’t own multiple spas like others do. I only have this one spa. A

Gabe, Russell and everyone were having lunch on the balcony of the top floor of Tuna Waves, with a magnificent view of the skyscrapers built all around the Creed Zone.Russell just finished his phone call with his grandfather.“What did he say?” Gabe asked him.“He says he’ll also personally look into it,” Russell said. “But from his experience, he says that this was probably done by someone I might have offended recently in the past few months or year.”“Did you receive any threats or something like that?” Gabe asked.Russell shook his head. “I trust my best to even help those that were bad to me, so I’m not sure what kind of a nasty guy would go after my beloved wife.” He gently grabbed Jessica’s hand. The fact that she was pregnant right now only added to Russell’s worries. Even though he was confident of putting protection around Jessica, would that completely guarantee her safety? He wasn’t sure about it.“Someone who benefits from her death must have done this,” Nicole opined. “
