Chapter Thirty Two

Riele smiled. "I remember him now." She said as everyone turned to watch Xen hug her.

"I knew you'd remember me." Xen said stroking her hair.

"I'm sorry I didn't remember you earlier...I must have lost some of my memories when I was kidnapped by the ghosts.

"Did you happen to see Carlos?" Amelia asked.

Riele looked at Amelia before returning her gaze back to her ex. "Who's Carlos?" She asked.

"He's our friend. We are trying to rescue him from the same ghosts that got you." Xen explained. "When did you start seeing ghosts?"

Shocked by the question, Riele looked away like she didn't hear him. "Did you hear me?" Xen asked.

"Uh?" Riele turned to face him.

"When did you start seeing ghosts?" he asked again. "I remember you broke up with me because I see ghosts."

"Really?" Riele asked. "I must have been very stupid to do that." she said coming closer to him. "I'm very sorry for everything I've put through."

"It's fine.. but how did you escape?" he asked as Riele thought of what to say.

I can't let him know who I really am. I must pretend. "I got an opportunity to escape and that was why i'm being chased."

"I'm glad we got there in time...I don't think I can ever forgive myself if anything should happen to you again...this is fate giving me another chance and I don't want to lose it." Riele smiled at Xen's words.

"Um...sorry to disturb you lovebirds but um...We have Carlos to save, remember?" Jason said.

"That's true." Xen said. They were all moving to watch the chip do it's magic when Riele said something that made them stop on their track.

Amelia turned to face her. "What did you say?" She asked as everyone turned to face Riele.

Riele walked towards them folding her arms and she said, "Saving Carlos now is a bad idea...believe me."

Everyone looked at each other before returning their gaze back at Riele.

Andrea has been going through a lot with just handling Damian and he was missing his wife. He tried calling her for several days but she didn't pick his call. If he could turn back the hand of time, he would have held her hand and never let her go.

Damian came to sit with him, he fondled with his hands and Andrea could tell something was wrong. "What did you do this time?" Andrea asked.

Damian turned to look at his father. "Promise not to get mad?" He asked.

"Damian, what did you do?" Andrea asked again.

"Um..." Damian stammered. "I...got...um..." he looked at his father who was staring at him before finally giving in. "I got a girl pregnant.

"What?" Andrea asked. "You did what?"

"It was just this once, dad. I really didn't know it would lead to pregnancy and now the girl's parents wants to meet with you."

Andrea sat down looking at his son wondering how a guy that looks so innocent would do such kind of a thing. He placed his head on his palms before looking at his son once again.

Dalton decided it was time to see Tessa and he took Carlos there with him. Carlos had to pretend it was his first time going there in order not to ruin things. "Where are we going?"

"To see someone." Dalton said as he opened the door where Tessa was kept captive. "Long time no see!" Dalton said turning on the light so they could get a better picture of her. "I told you without you, we could achieve massive things." He finally set her mouth free.

"I see you've gotten what you wanted." Tessa said sounding very faint.

"Not yet but I think I will soon enough." Dalton smiled. "And that's going to happen with Carlos here." He placed his arms around Carlos who pushed his hands away. "Don't worry! You will all get the story.

"Where is Rose? And how come I don't see her around." Tessa asked wondering why she's not seeing that lousy mouth near him.

"She is doing what you couldn't do for eighteen years." And with that Dalton walked away.

"Do you have any idea what you are doing?" Tessa whispered to Carlos.

"I don't know but all I'm doing is trying to stay alive till I can figure how to get us both out of here." Carlos whisper back to her.

"Do you know where Rose is?" Tessa asked.

Carlos shook his head. "He wouldn't tell me."

"That's because she's ..."

"and what are you still doing here?" Dalton asked coming inside. Carlos and Tessa pretended like they didn't just have a conversation few seconds ago. "Move it." He told her as Carlos left and Dalton switched off the light before locking the door.

Carlos thought about the question Tessa asked. Where exactly is Rose? that's when it hits him. "Dang it!" He said not realizing Dalton was beside him. What have I done? he asked himself. All he was doing was trying to secure his life unknown to him he was endangering those of his friends. How is he going to undo what has been done already???
