Let the Light Begin

Chapter 29: True or False

When she was in London, she encountered Castro. Divina's parents know a billionaire family. Divina is really much like a princess, not half like Guillaume was. But Divina chose to live in the Philippines. She wanted to be a simple person. That's why she asks her parents if she can stay in the Philippines. Her parents approve of her decision. If Divina is coming with Lavinia.

The Castro family didn't know who Melissa was, they didn't even know that she was Guillaume. When she encountered Castro, she did know everything that had happened in the past. She is accidentally in the Castro room. Her job there is to be an assistant of Elizabeth, momentarily. Little did she know that Elizabeth was Divina's sister. Because Elizabeth's surname changed to Ventura, she was married to a prince. When she is doing her job, Elizabeth tells her stories from her past.

"Melissa, do you have a family here in London?" I was looking at the papers to see what Elizabeth's schedule was for today when she asked, "I don't have one. I just wanted to live simply here in London." I said and went back to work. "Before I was married to Marcus, I was a Castro." I was shocked when she said that, Castro? Is she related to Divina? She gets her wine, "Can you pour me a drink?" She said I got the wine in the cellar. I know her favorite wine. I poured her a drink. I knew she had a schedule for today. "Ms. Elizabeth, take it easy with a wine, you have scheduled for today." I said while pouring her a drink, "cancel it for today, Melissa. I don't want to go out" she said, and sat on the sofa. She was still wearing a long nightdress. "I will call them to cancel the meeting, Ms. Elizabeth." She just nodded and drank the wine, "You know I have a sister. She is going to the Philippines because she is sick with our family." She smiled and I could see the sadness in her eyes. "She is very beautiful and good. Everyone around our house likes her. They said that she is the one who will continue the name of our family." She said and sipped at her wine, "But she is a free, willing woman. She doesn't need anyone just to be happy. She doesn't need gold and diamonds." She said, " that's what I love about her. She is not scared to voice out" she adds. She looked at me and I could see her eyes were full of pain, "That's why she left with our adopted sister." Now I know who she is talking about. I had a feeling that she paused for Divina. "She left me, Melissa." She paused and looked at the ceiling, "She left me here and forever..." And now her tears fell. She gets the wine bottle and drinks it straight. I stop her from doing that. "Ms. Elizabeth, Mr. Ventura, will see you like this. He will be mad." I said, "Don't mind him. I never loved him in the first place. My family just wanted this." She said. I think the wine is getting into her. She is now drunk. I just sit at her side, she needs a listener.

As much as possible, I don't want to cry. Divina is a great sister, when she died, for me to be able to show how thankful I am, I took care of her daughter, Annie. "I am very. thankful that Divina did not experience this." She finally said who she is talking about and now It is really the Divina that I know. "She married a man that she really loves." She said and drink the wine bottle again. "I will never forgive what my family did to them." She adds, now I am getting nervous about what she will go to say, her family did something to my brother and Divina? "I've been hiding this for how many years and now I can't take it, Melissa." She said, "What happened, Ms. Elizabeth?" I can't take it, I know there is something. "They killed her husband and now they are planning to kill her daughter." I don't know how I will react, I didn't even have an idea that her family. do this, "I know who you are, Melissa." She said and hold my hands, "I know everything about you." I look at her without emotion, I don't want to react. If she knows who I am, then my life is in danger. "Don't worry, Marcus doesn't know about this." She holds my hand tighter, "I want you to resign as my assistant and I am the one who will explain to Marcus. Go to the Philippines and save Annie." She kneeled down to me. I stop her from doing that, but she insists, "I don't want to remain silent again. I don't want the past to repeat", she added. She put down her wine and went to the table. She opened the cabinet and put in the code. She got an envelope, "This is all the evidence that my family gave. I want you to have this." I am very shocked at what is happening right now. I didn't expect that Elizabeth would do this. "I really chose you as my assistant, because I already know you. Thank you, Melissa, for taking care of Divina and Annie. If I were given a chance to have a will to choose. I will choose to live with my niece. I know she looks a lot like Divina." She hugged me and I hugged her, "Please be safe."

"That's really what happened," I said to Lovely. She smiled "I already know. I just need some evidence. But this case is so hard to close. Castro is a family of steel." She said "And it is still not a close case. Who killed Divina and Henry?" She adds, I also think about it and I don't think Guillaume could have done it. Henry can not do it, and also I. We love Divina so much that we treat her as our own. "I think you need to consider investigating Lavinia", I said, she is the only one that I can think of. She just nodded and arranged all the papers.

"I was going to ask you about what happened to Sweeney," she said, "What happened before Sweeney left the coffee shop?" I drank my water because I am still thinking about what happened. I am scared. I think their next target will be me, "Don't worry. You are under my protection", "When I arrived here in the Philippines, I was scared that I wasn't able to go home alive." I said and drank my water again. "When I saw my mom, she was the only person that I was thinking of who continued to say all of this stuff." She is just looking at me and I continue, "Then we decided to go to the coffee. I actually whispered to her about not being able to hear Lavinia. She is one of the suspects that I think." She just nodded "And then when we. She noticed at the coffee shop, I noticed something in my surroundings. I said it to my mom in the text, then my mom acted normal, she decided to give me a signal." I said, "Can you describe to me the looks of the person that follows you?" She said, "Actually I saw two on, the one is at the back of my mom, he is sitting there, and the other one is on the right corner." She just nods and takes notes on what I am saying, "How did you know that they are spying on you?" "Because they've been looking at us, repeatedly and they are on the phone. They also wear sunglasses." I remember that even though I am drinking a coffee, I can see in my peripheral vision that they really minded our actions. "And then how did Sweeney send you a signal?" I gave her my phone and she read my text messages and also to my mom looked she just nod "Give us the copy of these, that's it for today, Melissa," she said, I look at the door and someone entered in the interrogation room, "I just want you to know that all of the conversations that we had been recorded. And this is Clyde, he will be your bodyguard while the case is ongoing." I was dumbfounded when I saw him, eye to eye, I couldn't believe that I would see him again after all these years. "Hello, Melissa. How are you?"
