Lomeli's POV

Nagkatinginan kami ni Raizen. Sinugod ko si Sheena. "How dare you?! Stop creating nonsense stories! Buking ka na! Stop lying!" I shouted at her.

"I'm not lying. Hindi niyo ba napapansin? Magmula nang dumating kayo dito ay parang laging wala sila Ryza at Jerome?" nakangising tanong ni Sheena.

"Kilala ko si Ryza at Jerome! Stop lying!"

"Stop your lies, Sheena. Tell us the truth. I know my cousin well. You think we're fool to believe your lies? Tell us the fucking truth bago pa magdilim ang paningin ko." tiim bagang na sabi ni Raizen.

"I'm telling the truth! Bakit ba ayaw ninyong maniwala?"

"Because what you are saying is unbelievable!"

Biglang may tumawag sa'kin. One of my private investigators. Nilingon ko si Sheena dahil sa galit.

"Tell us the truth, Sheena. I'm begging you. Alam kong alam mo ang nararamdaman ko. Mahirap mawalan ng anak. You had a miscarriage. So tell me, si Raize ba ang anak ko? Nasaan ang kambal niya?" mahinahong tanong ko.

"She had a what? Did I heard you right? She had a miscarriage?" gulat na tanong ni Raizen.

Biglang humagulgol ng malakas si Sheena.

"My precious little angel."

"My precious little angel."

"My precious little angel."

Paulit ulit na sambit niya. Diretso siyang nakipagtitigan sa'min.

"Yes, I had a miscarriage. Raize is your child. His twin died. You gave birth inside your car. Hindi ko alam na ganoon ang mangyayari. Wala sa planong maaksidente ka. I'm the Mystery Emailer. Napag utusan lang ako. I had no choice. I had-" hindi niya matuloy tuloy ang sinasabi niya dahil sa paghagulgol niya.

"I had no choice but to follow their order. Raizen was not the father of my child. Nabuntis ako dahil sa one night stand. I had a miscarriage. I can't let Raizen touch my baby bump cause It's fake. The laboring. The test. It was fake. All of it was their plan. Nang maaksidente ka ay pinadala nila ako sa lugar para kuhanin ang anak mo. It was all because of Ryza and Jerome."

I slapped her. "Stop lying! Hindi sila Ryza at Jerome. I met them after the incident!"

"Ang tanga mo, Lomeli. Naniwala ka? Palabas lang nila lahat. Alam niyo ba kung nasaan sila? Hindi. Kasi nagtatago sila."

"How should we believe you?" singit ni Raizen.

Natahimik si Sheena bigla. She's lying. I can sense that she's lying. Wala siyang maisagot. Walang rason para gawin nila Jerome 'to.

Mabilis na kumilos si Raizen papunta sa likod ni Sheena. Tinutukan niya sa ulo si Sheena ng baril.

"Tell us the truth. I'm not kidding. I will kill you. Tell us the truth. Time is ticking. My patience is slowly fading." bulong ni Raizen kay Sheena. Nanlalaki ang mata ni Sheena.

Sinubukan niyang sumigaw para tawagin ang police officer pero kahit anong tawag niya hindi siya mapupuntahan ng mga ito. We locked the door na kami lang ang makakabukas.

"Stop shouting. Nag iinit ang ulo ko. Remember, time is ticking. My patience is fading. I will count from one to ten."

"10."

"9."

"8."

"7."

"6."
