\[Rafael's Mansion\]
"You look too happy today" Rafael commented, kissing the top of Ixora's head as he joined her for breakfast on the dinning table.
"It's that obvious?" She smiled, handing him the jug of water.
"Of course, you're glowing" Rafael replied, drinking some water before starting to eat.
"Thanks to your money and mum's, I'm a money eating insect yunno?" She jocosely replied, and Rafael laughed.
"Your 20th birthday is in a month and some days" he said.
"Are you planning to get me a jet?" She replied.
"You'd be shocked" he replied.
"Ouu" she excitedly sounded.
"I'll come late from work, but even if it's 12midnight, we'll still have our movie night" he said.
"Sure, I'll be home late too so it's settled. See ya!" Ixora replied with a wave.
He left the house after taking few forkfuls of his pasta, and Ixora quickly rushed to the gate when her orders arrived five minutes later.
She took them and and went back inside with a larger smile on her face.
Hope he likes the gifts, and hope he smiles.
Hope he kisses her till she'd faint in his arms.

\[ILC\]
Kelsey is missing.
Her aunt is in school, threatening to close the campus is they fail to produce Kelsey.
Serena is wailing like a banshee, saying they attended the hockey meet together last night but she suddenly couldn't find her.
Cops are around the school already, but Clover just knew they'd not find a thing.
By tomorrow night, Kelsey will be on the ship to Europe with ten additional kids.
The cops are busy interrogating everyone who came to the meet when Clover walked past them.
He entered a washroom to pick a call.
It's the top stripper at the clubhouse calling.
"Yes?" He picked.
"We're bursting Elder Creed's foundation tomorrow" the female said.
"I already brought someone to boss, i'm not bursting the foundation with y'all. Sort yourselves out" Romeo curtly replied and hung up.
He opened the door to leave the restroom, but he met Romeo who's just about to come in by the door.
He walked past him, but Romeo talked...
"I saw you leaving with Kelsey last night, and now she's missing?"
Clover looked at him over his shoulder, and when their eyes met, he just smiled and left wordlessly.
Romeo entered the bathroom, lightening up a cigar stick to smoke as he paraded.
Ixora isn't in school today.
He checked her timetable and saw she has zero classes, meaning he won't be seeing her.
But then...her moans has refused to leave his head, and he's actually running mad already.
He faced the wall and drove his head into it, laughing out like a maniac as blood spilled to his face.

\[7PM\]
Ixora left Rafael's mansion and set out early.
She's the one who asked to meet at the church, so she has to be on time.
As she drove herself through the busy, filled streets of Cali, she looked at the wrapped gift that's on her car seat.
They're two small but expensive-looking shinny box, square shape.
She was smiling at intervals as she took short looks at them, and then she looked at her chest—her breàsts.
The third gift is already there.
She focused back on her driving, but then she felt a bump in her tyre, and she inched her brows as she also felt the car going down.
Like the tyre is deflating.
She stepped on brakes, but it's not working, so she stepped repeatedly.
Still the same.
Her eyes widened in realization as she used the hand brake, but zero response.
The car is speeding so much, and her heart began speeding too as she looked ahead to see she's on a highway.
Four cars coming in front of her with their full lights madly bright as they hit her eyes.
She screamed out.

Warren is also on his way to the church, and the solitude in his car is strange, but he intentionally didn't play his usual satanic piano sounds tonight.
He hasn't left the family house since daybreak.
He connected Ixora's life cameras to his laptop, so he watched her through the laptop throughout today, then he watched some other people who needed to be watched.
He did the watchman job till some minutes ago when he left the house and began driving to the chapel.
What's his moth planning?
He was about to zoom into the abandoned district when he saw someone, and he was quick to step on the brakes.
His car stopped with a screech.
The person he sighted is entering a shop by the roadside, so he came out of his car and entered the shop too.
He stayed behind a shelf as the person bought pads, and when she turned to step out after paying, she met Warren behind.
He pulled off her face cap, and she gasped out when her face became uncovered.
Evelyn!
"Warren?" She shivered, taking one step back, then two, then three...
But she wasn't lucky...
The moment she tried running out Warren's scalpel met her neck from behind.
The instrument bursted her vein, and her blood splashed out.
Her eyes widened, and dying sounds of agony left her throat as Warren stabbed another part of her neck, and her blood splashed again, staining his leather jacket and inner shirt.
His eyes are bloodshot as he stabbed her neck for the third time, and her blood did the beautiful splash again.
The shop attendants all ran out in mad fear as he continued the stabs.
He stabbed her neck in six places, then he moved to her body, starting from her chest, down to her belly, to her legs, then her back.
He kept stabbing.
And stabbing.
And stabbing.
His eyes stayed bloodshot, and his muscles stayed blowed as he stabbed her life away.
The white tiles of the shop got flooded with her blood, and it flowed under the shelves to the corners.
He made sure to stab evert joined part of her spinal cord, down to her arse, then the back of her legs.
His hands are bloody, his face and clothes too, even his boots.
She was already lifeless when his hand went under her neck, and he pulled off her skin mask.
Her real face came to view.
She's not Evelyn, she's only wearing Evelyn's face.
"Spending three years in jail didn't make me daft, I'm still Warren, a fuckin doctor! Deceiving me with a fake should be on your list of don'ts!" He seethed, dropping the lifeless body on the shop ground.
He changed his position on the bloody ground, a sick smile drawing his mouth as he watched the crowd who're already waiting outside and watching him through the shop glass walls.
His bloody body and face gave him the look of a serial killer, and people are filming him.
At the same time, his phone buzzed with a text, from Chicago.
ChicAgo: My spy told me you lost it, is it real? I can escape prison to reset that memory for you.
His sick smile broadened, and he typed back with bloody hands
Warren: What do you think? Partner in crime.
ChicAgo: (laughing emojis) I knew it!
Warren almost replied again, but a call popped up from Ashton, and he swiped green, blood drawing on his screen from his thumb...
"She died in an accident ten minutes ago. The news is all-over the city" Ashton muttered.
