Chương 100: Our Baby

At 3:00 in the afternoon, they're all ready and excited for malling and climbed into the car that Caroline has readied outside the house.

Thelma was sitting on the front seat, holding baby Cathy, while Caroline was on the driver's seat.

Caroline drove the car slowly towards the nearest mall near the vicinity of the subdivision.

It took them thirty minutes to arrive in the SM Mall.

After parking the car in the parking lot of the mall, Caroline took out the baby stroller from the vehicle and placed baby Cathy on it.

They entered the mall in high spirits.

Caroline's entourage went to the grocery store first. They place dairy products, meat, vegetables, fish, and groceries in the shopping cart and paid the items in the cashier section. Jacob and Lily left the shopping bags in the baggage section.

Done with grocery, they proceed to the game arcade of the mall which was Lily and Jacob's favorite.

Thelma and Caroline were relaxing on the chair outside the arcade, eating ice cream, while the teenagers were enjoying playing games inside the arcade.

One hour and thirty minutes later, the teenagers and Merle exited the arcade.

They proceed to stroll around the mall enjoying the stalls and store offering different products.

Tired with strolling, they went to find a good restaurant to eat.

"I want to eat spicy fried chicken!" Lily blurted out.

"I second the motion!" Jacob grinned.

Caroline laughed. "Alright, let's go to the Fried Chicken Station!" she said.

A few minutes later, they entered the restaurant and settled in a five-seater table and fluffy sofa.

Caroline ordered one large bucket of fried chicken, which consist of 6 pieces of spicy chicken and 6 pieces of the original flavor, one platter of lasagna, one platter of spaghetti, and ten pieces of rice with two pitchers of chilled cola.

After a few minutes of waiting, the waiter finally delivered the order to their table.

The family starts eating the mouthwatering fried chicken, so crunchy and so tasty.

It took more than one hour for the family to finish the delicious food.

Thirty minutes later, they exited the restaurant and do more walking around the mall.

By 6:00 in the evening.

Caroline's entourage was already itching to go home, especially her mother Thelma.

"My feet are hurting of too much walking," Thelma grumbled.

Caroline smiled. "Let's go home then—?" she said and looked at everyone's faces, no one is objecting to going home.

"Alright, let's go home," Jacob answered for everyone.

They headed to the baggage section to retrieve the shopping bags containing their groceries and exited the mall. They went to the parking area which is a walking distance and piled up inside the car.

Caroline started the engine and drives the car going back to the Eastwood Subdivision.

After arriving at the house, since everyone's stomach was still full of their recent heavy fried chicken meals, they just retire into their respective room. Merle the housemaid, arranged the grocery in the cupboard, and put the meat and vegetables into the fridge.

...

Upstairs, in Caroline's bedroom.

She placed baby Cathy in the crib and change into brown cotton short and loose blouse.

After feeding her daughter, she took a quick shower.

Done refreshing herself in the bathroom.

She was now relaxing in bed, watching a fantasy movie. Next, a thriller movie.

Three hours later, she was getting sleepy.

She falls asleep in the bed.

After some time, she wakes up to the blackness of her room. Dang, she forgot to turn on the lampshade.

She reached for the lamp and switch it on.

The light-flooded the entire room.

Then she noticed that she was not alone in the room, someone is sleeping beside her and when she looked into his eyes, she was shocked, it's Greg! His eyes were staring intensely at her face.

"G-Greg!?" she whispered in shock.

"Hello Caroline, long time no see," he smiled wickedly at her.

"H-how did you c-come i-inside my r-room? How did y-you get h-here?" she asked, her heart was beating fast, her mouth quivering in fright.

"I visit you here because you don't want to see me. I'm sad. Don't be surprised that I manage to enter your room because I am always in your mind and heart. You just refused to see me again, but I am always residing in your mind and heart. Come to me Caroline, I miss hugging you!"

Instead of coming to him, Caroline quickly leaps from the bed to put a distance between them.

"I see...you no longer want to see me...eh?" said Greg with sadness clouding in his eyes. Then he shifted his attention to the crib where the sleeping baby was located. He gets up from the bed and walked towards the crib.

Caroline's mouth turns dry, no!

"Don't come near my daughter! Get away from her" she screamed at him.

Greg looked at Caroline, smirking. "Why—? I just want to see our daughter. Can't I? You always wanted to have a daughter after we get married in the church. Why are you selfish now, Caroline?"

"Greg, please step away from my daughter. She's never your child!" she began to sob.

"Don't worry, I will take her with me to heaven, we will wait for you there. When you get tired of living follow us to heaven, okay?" he said grinning.

Greg took baby Cathy from the crib and carry her in his arms and walked towards the door.

"Nooooooo! Please don't take my baby away!" she shouted in a hysterical voice running after him.

No matter how hard she tries she could never catch up with him, then he disappeared from her sight.

She fell on the floor, calling baby Cathy's name, while her tears flowing from her eyes.

She was in that position when she heard a sound coming from nowhere.

She opened her eyes and was greeted with the sound of the television still showing some random movie on the screen.

She immediately looked at the crib, her daughter was still there in the crib, sleeping soundly. "Thank God!" she said aloud.

That was just another horrific dream.

She kept dreaming of Greg!

Dammit, she can't get him out of her mind!

This has to stop!

She instantly grabbed her phone and was rapidly typing a message to Daniel informing him that she finally decided to visit Lucas, she will inform him when is the exact day she will visit him.

She sent the message and placed the phone back in the bedside table.

A few minutes later, she received a reply from Daniel.

'Thank you, this means so much to me. Let me know when are you planning to see my brother. We will prepare him for your visit. Goodnight!'

Caroline didn't bother to reply goodnight to Daniel, she placed the phone back in the bedside table.

Two hours later, she falls asleep like a baby.

....

In Daniel Lopez's home.

Alex also falls asleep with a smile on his face after replying to Caroline's message.

Finally!

Chương 101: Devils Loves To Hide

Alex woke up to a beautiful day.

So beautiful was his mood that the smile never leaves his face even after entering and getting out of the bathroom.

He reached for his phone and read Caroline's message last night, over and over again.

Yes!

She finally made up her mind to visit Lucas!

Due to his happiness, he sent Caroline's message to Allison.

And his sister replied with a single word...' SUCCESS!'

After eating breakfast, Alex went down to the basement to bring the good news to his brother.

His feet landed on the basement floor and instructed Rudy. "Untie my brother's chain. From now on, he will live with me in the house," he said.

"That's good news, Boss!" Rudy said happily.

Alex and Rudy went inside the room, and Rudy starts taking the chain away from Lucas's ankle.

Done, Rudy carries the chains in his hands and left the room.

Lucas's face brightened after seeing his ankles already free from the chains. "What's this brother?"

A smile appeared on Alex's face. "Starting from today, you are now free to live with me in the big house. You will no longer live here in the basement, providing that you won't flee again, okay?"

Lucas nodded his head and beamed. "Yes, brother! Thank you. I promise you that I will never leave again," he said.

"That's good! And I have one more good news for you," Alex said.

"What is it?" Lucas eyed his brother's face excitedly.

"Finally, Caroline texted me last night, informing me that she was now willing to see you again," blurted Alex.

Instantly, Lucas's face produced a megawatt smile that brightens the whole room. "OMG! That's great! I'm so happy today. Thank you, brother, for telling me this good news. I'm so excited to see Caroline again!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Lucas shouted for joy over and over again.

Alex wrapped his arms around his brother. "Let's go outside and celebrate!"

The brothers exited the basement and went upstairs.

Alex instructed Rudy to bring all Lucas's things in the room next to his on the second floor of the house. "And Rudy you will be occupying the guest room next to Lucas's room and inform the cook to prepare a feast for lunch and dinner because we're going to have a whole day celebration," he said.

"Yes, Boss!" Rudy replied.

Alex and Lucas proceed to the swimming pool shaded by trees and surrounded by green flowering plants, located outside the house.

They went into the gazebo and sat on the poolside lounge chair.

Alex went to the fridge in the corner of the gazebo and took two bottles of chilled drinks and handed one to his brother. He unlocks his phone and then typed a message informing his sister that they were having a barbecue party in the pool as of this moment, after sending the message, he placed the phone back in the table.

The brothers sipped their drinks while staring at the sparkling water in the pool.

A minute later, Rudy comes up in the pathway bringing some fresh towel and clothes for the brothers and placed them in the vacant chair.

Alex motioned him to come closer. "Tell the cook to prepare the meat for the barbecue. Lucas and I will have a barbecue party beside the pool today."

"Yes, Boss!" answered Rudy and retraced his steps going back to the house.

Alex perused his brother's happy face. "Do you want to swim with me in the pool, Lucas?" he asked.

"Yes, bro!" Lucas answered.

They changed into their swimming trunks and jumped into the pool.

Thirty minutes later.

The housemaid and Rudy were already preparing the barbecue meat in the electric grill. There were fish, chicken, and pork being cooked in the grill.

The maid went back inside the house to help the cook prepare other dishes in the kitchen while Rudy tended to the grilled meat.

The mouthwatering aroma of delicious grilled meat floated around the swimming pool area.

One hour later, the brothers have a visitor.

Allison arrived at the swimming pool area wanting to join the celebration. "I'm here now, guys!" she announced her presence and waved at her siblings having a fun time in the sparkling water.

She sat on the lounge chair and watched her brothers frolicking in the pool. It's nice to see Lucas enjoying the pool, he looks happy and energetic today. She feels happy as well after learning that Caroline had finally decided to visit their brother. She was convinced now that the old man, the psychic in that ancestral house had indeed delivered the goods they agreed upon resulting in Caroline's abrupt decision to visit Lucas.

She will know soon, she will tell her brother Alex to ask Caroline what made her decide to visit Lucas.

In the meantime, she won't show her face to Caroline yet. That woman must not know that she's connected to the brothers by blood.

Alex and Lucas finally get out of the pool and sat on the lounge chairs beside their sister.

"Having fun, brothers?" Allison asked, scanning their faces.

"Yes!" the men answered in unison.

Allison addressed her ill brother. "Lucas, I suggest that you must act sick in front of Caroline when she visits you here," she suggested.

Lucas brows knitted together. "Why? I'm already ill. Haven't I?" he asked bewildered by his sister's suggestion.

Allison explained. "If you want Caroline to feel for you, you must act like you can't get out of the bed on your own. Let her believe that you only have a few days to live. That way you will get her sympathy and she will visit you often. If she sees you today in your current condition she might think that you are not ill. What do you think of my suggestion, Alex?"

Alex nods his head. "That's what love can do," he commented on his brother's happy countenance. "Allison got a point, bro," he agreed.

"So, guys, can you give me any suggestion so that Caroline will pity me more?" Lucas solicited for their advice.

Alex stayed silent while Allison did the rest of the talking.

"We will buy you a wheelchair, Lucas. You must pretend that you can no longer stand on your own two feet without the help of a carer. Then, every time Caroline visits you, you will have to act that you are in great pain like you are gasping for air and you have a hard time breathing. These kinds of pitiful conditions will make her wants to visit you more," Allison concluded.

"But there's no guarantee that Caroline will keep visiting you, Lucas. So, don't raise your hopes high, or else you will only get disappointed. Remember, that she already had a boyfriend," Alex butt in. He reminded his brother of the possible opposite effect so that he won't feel disheartened if Caroline's visit is for one time only.

Lucas's face fell.

Allison glared at Alex. "Why do you have to be so negative?" she asked him.

Alex shrugged his shoulders. "Sister dear, there's nothing wrong with my statement. I'm just telling Lucas the truth," he replied.

"Guys, let's not start arguing, I feel happy today. I don't want to ruin the day," Lucas interjected to prevent his siblings from arguing. "I agree with the wheelchair. But I will only use it if Caroline will visit me," he said.

"Good! Nice to know that you value my advice, Lucas." Allison patted her brother's back affectionately. "By the way, I want you two to avoid talking about me in front of Caroline. She must not know that we are blood relative, okay?" she told them.

Lucas brows furrowed. "Why?"

"Because the devil loves to hide," Allison grinned.

Alex snorted at his sister. "Because you have something to hide..."

Lucas scanned his sibling's faces. "What is there to hide, sister? Did you hide something from me?" he asked her.

Allison throws Alex a death glare. "Nothing, Lucas. Nothing..."

The siblings engaged in a lively conversation while waiting for the food to be cooked.

Thirty minutes passed by.

Rudy and the cook began putting the grilled meat in serving plates together with other appetizing dishes and put them in the table. The siblings gathered around the table and started the celebration by feasting on delicious food in front of them.
