They finally arrived at the Hacienda at 9:00 PM. The old caretaker Juan and Adela greeted them at the entrance of the ancestral house.
"Good evening, Sir and Ma'am," the caretaker greeted the young couple.
"Folks, I want you to meet my girlfriend, Catherine," John said proudly.
"Hello...," she smiled at the old couple, they did not recognize her! They seemed to forget her already.
"Welcome to the Hacienda, Ma'am," said Adela smiling broadly at the young lady.
Ramon and George started bringing in their stuff into the living room of the ancestral house.
John laced his fingers into Catherine's hand and steered her towards the stairs.
Catherine gulped back her own saliva as the memories of yesterdays all coming back to her mind. As she steps forward in the stairs, she remembered that she crawled on this same stairs long time ago to find her sister Caroline who was already trapped in one of the rooms upstairs held by John's bodyguard at gunpoint.
