234 Son in Law (1/2)

Janine was getting frustrated. Francisco isn't well now. Maybe because of the effect of the torture EPUA gave to him. Glenn opens the door for her as he drove the car to the nearest mall. She was walking ahead from Glenn with his mind somewhere else.

”What happened to Francisco while I was away?” She asked.

”He insisted that he saw Anastasia in the Market.”

”What?” Janine turn to him. Glenn said.

”Anastasia is dead.” Glenn mutters. Janine look around and ensured no one was watching them. ”I check the body twice and it was her.” He said. ”Francisco can't know about this. Or else everything we planned will go to waste.” He murmur in her ear.

”I know that.” She said. ”I'll go to the bathroom.” She said. ”Buy me coffee.” She went to the bathroom. It's empty since there are lots of people in the mall. She wash her hand the lights click and turned off. ”Who's there?” Then one of the lights in the cubicle was switch on. She exhales and look around. There's no one with her.

”Do you really like enjoying two men at the same time?”

Her cat hairs stood hearing that soft yet powerful voice like a whisper in the wind. But there's no wind inside the bath. A woman was standing just behind her. Few paces away. She can see her silhouette in the mirror. Tall, slender yet hour glass body. The smell—it was the perfume that Anastasia would wear.

”Anastasia…” Janine mutter and she turn to her. The woman was still standing there yet she can't see her face.

”That's right. I am living in your head, Janine. What you did was unforgivable… You took my husband from me.”

”That's because you aren't better than me!”

”Really?” Anastasia asked mockingly. ”Then why would Francisco want me and get obsessed over me that he can't even get over me. I am still in his head.”

”Get lost!” Janine scream. Her heart was racing. She's just imagining her. She isn't alive. The silhouette turn around and left the bathroom. It took Janine few seconds to respond as she storm outside and found out no one was there but the cleaner. ”Did you see a woman, tall just come out from the bathroom before me?” She asked. The cleaner creased her brows and shook her head.

”No one came out from the bathroom but you, Ma'am.”

Janine was shaking as she left the bathroom and found Glenn with her coffee coming out from the Starbucks. Then she approach him and grab his arm.

”You saw her?” she asked him looking like crazy fellow.

”Saw who?” He asked.

”Anastasia.” She said as she look around. She feel dizzy now.

Anastasia was laughing as she watched it through the people that has cameras that they wear. She sat and crossed her legs inside the van with a sigh. She knows too well how to play games. She hold the locket on her neck. She took it from Sabrina while she's in coma. She owns it. It was the latest photos of her triplets and her husband. She wanted him back, if he would want her back.

”Let's go.” She said. She left and the car drove back to the villa—five hours drive from the mall. Then a car suddenly corner them.

Anastasia ready her gun. Ezekiel taught her to fire when she was just a teenager. Now, she practice a lot for her safety. The car that stop in front of them was Roll Royce. The person came out and she looks familiar. Then another person came out.

”Ma'am stay here.”

Gabriel knock on her window. Anastasia's heart melt. Gabriel knows. The man behind him look cool with ash brown hair.
