"Alice, now you must always be able to control yourself. You must always draw closer to God. So that the evil spirit can't bother you anymore!" Bella advised Alice.
"Mom, should we just take Aunt to the room, okay?" asked Daniel.
"Yes," replied Bella.
Daniel and Diana escorted Alice to her room.
Meanwhile, Bella still looked dizzy thinking about all this.
Of course what happened to Alice also had a bad impact on her family.
She was only afraid that Alice would harm her and her two children.
"Oh my God. When will all this end?" Bella muttered, unable to hold back tears.
Soon Ella, Caroline's mother, came to Bella's house.
Tok! Tok! Tok!
"Yeah, just a minute!" said Bella.
Clek!
"Miss Ella?" said Bella who was a little surprised. And the woman came along with two local police officers.
"Where's your sister?!" Ella asked with sharp, angry eyes.
"S-he—" Ella cut Bella's stammering line.
"Sir, just come in! And catch the killer of my daughter!" said Ella.
And the two police officers began to enter Bella's house, and look for Alice.
While Ella was still standing, staring at Bella with a stiff face.
"Mrs, I beg you to please spare my sister! She is sick!" said Bella.
"Pain? Just hurt, right?" said Ella sarcastically, "it just hurts! My daughter is already dead!" shrieked Ella.
"I beg you, Mrs, have mercy on my sister. Alice did it all without realizing it. She is being possessed by an evil spirit!" said Bella.
"Possessed by an evil spirit?" Ella pursed the corners of her lips. "Tch! You think I'll believe it?!"
Ella pushed Bella's body to the ground.
"I will demand the death of my daughter at any time. I will even make sure she gets the punishment she deserves!" said Ella.
After that, two police officers took Alice out of her room.
Alice looked confused. Meanwhile, Daniel and Diana could only cry seeing Alice's departure.
"Auntie! Auntie, where are you going?!" shouted Diana.
But they didn't care, Alice was taken away just like that. Bella couldn't do anything either.
"Bella! Help me!" cried Alice.
"I'm sorry, Alice. I can't help you at the moment. But I will try to free you!" said Bella.
"Aunt!" shouted Diana. The girl ran and chased after Alice and the two officers.
But Bella and Daniel tried to stop her.
"Di! Don't chase her! It's useless!" said Daniel.
"But she brought Aunt Alice!"
"Leave it alone! Trust me Aunt Alice will be fine!" said Daniel.
"But-"
"What your brother said is true, my dear!" Bella said.
And the little girl gave up, she wept bitterly because she had to let Alice go. She sat on the floor with her arm rubbing her teary eyes.
"How do we save Aunt Alice, Mom?" Diana asked.
"Then we'll hire a great Lawyer, honey," Bella replied.
"But ... what, Mommy, sure?"
"Of course!" Bella hugged Diana's tiny body. And Daniel also hugged them both.
Now there are only three of them in this house.
Truly a very difficult thing to live with, Archer died tragically, while Alice was in prison instead.
Not long after, someone knocked on their door again.
And this time it was Carlos who came.
"What else do you want here?!" snapped Bella.
"Hey, Bella. What's wrong with you? I came here because I wanted to see Alice!" Carlos said.
"Alice is at the police station! Aren't you satisfied?!" said Bella.
"Hey, Bell! What do you mean?" Carlos looked shocked to hear that.
"Carlos! All because of you!" Bella grabbed Carlos by the collar.
"Bella! What are you doing?! What did I do wrong?!" shrieked Carlos.
"If you hadn't cheated on Caroline! Then Alice wouldn't have gone to London and met Sea! And maybe now my husband Archer is still alive!" said Bella.
"Bel-"
"Carlos, our lives have been ruined, Carlos! All because of you! Even Alice should be in jail now!"
"Bell, listen to me! You can't pass all the blame on me! Including the death of your husband!" said Carlos, trying to defend himself.
"Shut up!" shouted Bella.
"You ... shut up!" said Carlos. Then the man continued his sentence.
"Archer died because he wanted to see Alice. And that's because your husband is a Masher!" Carlos said.
Of course, Bella did not accept hearing all that.
"What do you mean?! My husband is not Masher!" Bella insisted.
And Carlos was forced to dismantle everything.
While in the Hospital Alice had told Carlos about Archer.
At that time Alice had just woken up and she was crying over the fate of her sister who is now a widow.
"Bella, I'm sorry Bella. I couldn't save your husband!" said Alice with tears in her eyes. Then Carlos grabbed his shoulder.
"Alice, don't you know at all, how Archer got to know Sea and to die in that woman's house?" Carlos asked.
"Sea tricked Archer. She wrote a fake letter, which looked like it was from me. After that, she took Archer into custody without my knowledge and then murdered her!" Alice replied.
"Why is that? And why does Archer seem enthusiastic about receiving a letter from you? Isn't there the internet in this modern era? Can't he just call you?" Carlos asked.
Alice shook her head.
"I never respond to messages and phone calls from him. Because I don't want to give false hope." Alice replied.
"False hope?" Carlos looked surprised. "What does it mean?"
And Alice sighed in exasperation, she didn't want to tell Carlos all this. But Carlos asked, and besides, if it wasn't for Carlos, then she and Felix wouldn't have survived. Finally, Alice told Carlos the truth.
"That Archer likes me. But I don't want to respond. I still respect Bella. Besides, I don't want to have a special relationship with Masher like him. Just you and it's over." said Alice.
Carlos was a bit offended by Alice's words, especially when he mentioned 'Masher' and that also included Carlos.
But Carlos didn't want to blame Alice, after all, it was the truth. He had an affair with another girl. And that made Alice hurt.
This means that he also has to be sincere when Alice calls him Masher.
But what shocked Carlos was what Alice said about Archer. He turns out to also have feelings for Alice.
"So Archer has liked you all this time?" Carlos asked.
Alice answered with a nod of her head.
"And that's also the reason I left Oxford. I want to forget you. Besides that, I also want Archer not to do crazy to me. I want my old sister's household life to be okay," she said.
"Gosh! Once again I'm sorry Alice. Because of me... you're in trouble. And that ignorant man is also adding to your troubles!" Carlos said.
"Never mind ... forget it. And I beg you to keep this a secret from Bella," Alice pleaded.
"Okay, I'll keep this a secret," Carlos said.
