Andrea was in the room all day long. She never talks and she didn't even eat. Dreb was worried about her and persuade her to eat but she didn't want to.
Dreb leave her alone, dreb's phone rang as she answered it. A very loud voice came out.
"Who is this?"
"where's Andrea?"
"auntie?"
"she needs to go home, if you seen her please tell her to come home right now"
"what happened auntie?"
"Cassie's dead"
Mellisa ended the call, Dreb left shocked and like a statue. He had goosebumps all over his body. He went hurriedly to Andrea.
"Andrea, your mom called me. Cassie's dead. You have to go home. Come on"
Andrea teat came out, she knows everything but do nothing. She blame herself even more.
"I can't"
"what?"
"I'm so stupid Dreb. I can't protect the people I love the most"
"that's not important. Let's go there"
Andrea slowly stands up and looked at Dreb. "thank you for being here with me."
"you're welcome. Come on"
They went on the car. Dreb started the engine and went to Andrea's house
Andrea got off the car but her knees were shaking. She couldn't stop her tears as it fall down.
Mellisa saw Andrea and went to her.
"Andrea" Mellisa was crying and hugged Andrea. Andrea looked at her but she pushed away Mellisa and go to Cassie's body. Cassie was a good kid and good to Andrea. She was there when Andrea feel lonely.
"Cassie, I'm sorry" a tears came out to her eyes. Mellisa went to Andrea and hold her shoulders.
"were gonna be okay, don't worry"
Andrea gave her a very fierce looked. "What happened to her mom?"
"She was shoot by a man, I saw her outside our house. She was laying on the ground and her body was full of blood. Kevin is on a camping while you are at work. No one is there for her. No one" Mellisa still crying but Andrea acted like she didn't know everything.
"The one who did this, I will make him pay"
"lets double the security here in the house."
"Okay mom, let's do it."
Dreb walked towards Andrea and pat her shoulders. "you okay?"
"I am. And I'm gonna be fine"
"that's good then"
"thank you for being so kind to me Dreb"
"you're welcome and I will do anything for my girl" Andrea smiled and she was blushing.
"youre blushing" Dreb annoyed her and teases her.
"I'm not"
"Yes you are"
"I'm not"
They stopped when someone enter the house. He was in a rushed and Andrea saw kevin. Kevin was in tears as he saw Andrea.
"what happened?"
"Cassie's dead"
"no she's not"
"I'm sorry Kevin, but she really is dead"
"why didn't you save her Andrea?"
"I'm sorry, Kevin"
"your sorry, can't change anything. This is your fault"
"no, it's not mine"
"this is your fault, if you have been here? You can save her. You did it again Andrea. You didn't save a family member. Like you do to your mom"
"don't put my mom here" she slapped Kevin.
"I can, because I'm hurt. Why can't you save my sister. My sister is your sister too. Did you even treat us a family?" Kevin was so angry at Andrea.
Andrea was on tears, she thinks Kevin is right. She was there but she do nothing.
"are you okay?"
"he was right, I can't save a family member"
"don't talk about it. Your not at fault. No one's at fault." Dreb hugged her.
Mellisa is smirking as she heard Kevin blaming Andrea about it.
"I'm gonna leave for now mom, I just want to go home"
"why? It's because of Kevin?"
"Yes"
"I can deal with him Andrea"
"but I can't. I will be back right away. Don't worry"
"okay, be safe"
Andrea and Dreb leaves and Andrea went to her house. Shes staying there for a little while and she will be back if Kevin cool his head.
"don't think too much okay?" Dreb hugged her and kissed her in the forehead. Dreb leaves and Andrea left all alone.
"you will pay for this Mellisa" Andrea is so furious and want to take revenge.
She took her phone and contact Crystal. "hello?"
"come to my house"
"is someone with you?"
"no one knows this place but me and my boyfriend"
"okay, txt me the address"
"okay" she ended the call and texted her the address.
She waited for an hour until Crystal came.
"it's so traffic, I'm sorry"
"it's okay, please take a seat."
They are in the living room, Andrea had a big, huge house. She is staying here alone and no one knows this place but her and Dreb only.
"Why you tell me to be here?"
"my step sister is dead"
"ouh, I'm sorry to hear that. Condolence"
"But she was killed by Mellisa" Crystal's eyes get widened.
"her own mom?"
"Yes, and I was there but I do nothing. I enter the house and heard a loud noise. And I saw Cassie fell on the ground. This is my fault. If I had rescue her"
"that's not your fault. It's you mom's fault."
"but why I'm feeling guilty?"
"because you are reminded of your past. The past that was a lie. Don't think too much Andrea and focus on finding your mom."
"I will find my mom after Cassie's funeral."
"okay"
"hire some men and tell them to find my mom. And also hire some men to follow Mellisa wherever she'd go."
"okay"
"i think Cassie knew something and she want to tell you but Mellisa got first"
"I think so too."
Andrea leave Crystal to her house as she went back to their house. She entered the house and went to Cassie's room. She locked it and looked for some evidence she might get.
She looked around Cassie's room as she found a paper under the bed. She take it and she was shocked when the paper had her name on it.
To Andrea :
I know everything now Andrea, it's all mom's doing. Please don't let her kill my brother too as what will be she will do to me. This maybe my last time, I approach you many times to tell you this but your too busy. I told mom about it and get angry at her but she pointed a gun to me. I was to confident she wouldn't be shoot me. I keep silent but this time I want to tell you where she hid your mom. "
Andrea was on tears while reading it. Someone knocked the door, she hid the paper on her pocket and open the door.
Mellisa was looking at her." what happened? Why are you here Andrea? "
" I missed Cassie, mom" Andrea's tears went down to her cheeks.
"I know this maybe hard for you Andrea but this is hard for me too"
Andrea stopped herself to hurt Mellisa and acted like she really didn't know what happened.
"Mom, you will be gonna okay right?"
"Yes I will"
Mellisa was crying, Andrea say her goodbye and leave. Andrea left and Mellisa stop her acting. She rolled her eyes and look at Andrea's back when she leave.
"what are you up to Andrea?" she said while grinning badly.
Andrea was on her car as she saw Kevin on the window. Kevin was looking at her. She looked back, but Kevin closed his kurtain and his window.
Andrea left and went back to her house. Crystal contacted people to help Andrea with her plans. She tasked them, each of them had different task.
Andrea arrived at her house as she saw many people outside. Crystal went outside and talk to the people.
"what happened here?"
"uhm, Andrea, this is Michael, Leby, Jordan, and Danny. There are the men Ived hired. The others went to their tasked."
"can I count on you?"
"Yes mam"
"good, get back to work now"
The men leave, Crystal and Andrea left. Andrea looked at her "Can I really trust you?"
"You can but if you have any doubts about me. I can you somewhere."
"It's fine. I'll just call Leah"
"Leah?"
"Yes my secretary"
"can I see her face?"
"why?"
"Please let me"
"okay, here" Andrea took her phone of of her bag and find photo of Leah. Crystal saw the photo and was so shocked.
"do you know here?"
"Yes. I really know her and you can't trust her"
"why? She's been my secretary for almost 3 years."
"please. Listen to me you can't trust someone like her"
"why? Can you give me specific reasons?"
"She's with Mellisa when your mom died"
"what?"
"Your mom is friend with Leah and also Jenna. The three of them were friends."
"wait, they planned all. Of this?"
"Yes"
"what have I done to them? Why are they doing this to me?"
"Mellisa knows the answer. I don't. Know what the answer is and I'm really curious about that"
"Leah had to do something about my mom's nearly death and maybe they are the ones who planned all of this"
"I think so too"
"Mellisa? What are we gonna do now? Andrea knew everything" Leah and Mellisa are talking. They hear all the conversations on Andrea and Crystal. Mellisa had put a recording on Andrea coat while she hugged her.
"don't think too much. I will get rid of this Crystal"
