"No! you are not serious!"Esther said as she hang up. checking with her phone, she entered the membership code to enter the app for free, she shouted and danced all around the house with much excitement. "It's my time to shine"She would sing. calming a little while, the last night image popped into her mind, Checking out, she has been sleeping in living room, she saw a note on the table as she pick it up.
"Congratulations, I know this is a day you will always remember, I only hope you can find in your heart to forgive and forget me. happiness is all I wish for you.

She held a note and smiled. "Since today is a great day to me, Esther you deserve to be understanding and nothing should ruin your joy"She said.
Someone knocked on the door and Esther rushed to open. to her Surprise, it was Mike Collins with a bunch of red flowers and a bottle of wine. "Mike"She was amazed. "Don't you deserve a celebration?"He asked..
PRESENT DAY.
Someone knocked on the door and Diego went to open, they couldn't understand who would come at the crime scene. in opening, Andy was there. "Girl, what are you doing here?"Diego asked. "I am looking for my best friend whom I suspect you hide here!"Andy replied. Diego had no idea who the girl was so he was a little stubborn. "Who are you?"He asked. "Andy.. just say Andy"She replied. "Andy is a part of name, not a name"He replied. "Sir, in your respect, may I enter?"Andy was a little stubborn too. Esther heard her voice and run to the door too. "Let her be"Esther said. "She is an outsider"Diego replied to Esther. "She is not, i will be responsible"Esther replied. and Andy was allowed inside the house.
"Damn it! doesn't look like you house anymore"She commented. "I know, even my portrait is down"She replied, Esther was acting so strong. Andy sat by detective Mark's Side. "Before anything else, your father is at home"Andy informed her. "Oh my goodness! what's with the sudden return?"Esther was Shocked. "I don't know! the ASSISTANT drove him home"Andy said ensuring to make the word "Assistant" The main topic. "So, Esther! Luc had gone when you had your first step in your career? how did you end up together?"Mark asked.
Esther tried to remember but Andy interrupted. "It's getting late! don't you think you should let her sleep for now? after all, she had a long day recalling the memories"Andy suggested. "But if you were only two years in relationship, what were you two doing in last two years before you start dating?"Diego asked, Ignoring Andy's request.
"Nothing really! those two years, I was so very active in the industry, I was working on my career, doing interviews, playing more movies, it was such busy years."Esther replied. "So you didn't communicate in those two years?"Mark asked. "We did, He would come at the headquarter once in four months but we wouldn't interact so far. my schedule was busy that I would only see him in a meeting, he once came to my house in those two years because Andy felt Sick and he didn't know her place so he brought her to my house"Esther explained. "Means his relationship with Wendy was working so fine that he didn't turn back?"Diego asked, "I guess"Esther replied and Diego noted that. "So, Esther that's all for today. take some rest, we will meet in two days"Mark said but Diego interrupted. "In those two years! didn't you have another relationship or no other man approached you?"He asked. Mark seemed interested to know this, it was a very great way to start with but to their disappointment; "No, like I told you; I was so busy, yes I meet other guys but no one was able to win me for a date"She replied, everyone stared at her expecting to hear more. "I have this best friend of mine called Mike Collins, He was the only guy who seemed so close, he would send me flowers and take me out when the work was so occupying"She added. "Is he anyone we can suspect?"Diego asked looking at Esther and turned back to Mark.."No way! he went abroad later and wasn't in my life for so long"Esther said. "That means you cut ties with him later on!"Mark agreed. "Okay"Diego noted down. "Can I take my girl then?"Andy said, Diego gave her a sharp look but Andy won here.
Esther and Andy came out of the building. and walked toward the car, "wear the glasses"Andy suggested, giving her a dark sunglasses. "come on..... I will be fine" Esther smiled.
Esther saw across the road, a man who
was in black, he was coming from the supermarket that was on the other side of the road, Esther studied his move as he pack his things in the car and he came toward the driver's side door and opened before entering; his gaze met with Esther and She clearly saw him, He looked like Luc. the guy didn't seem to notice Esther, he immediately jumped In his sport car and drive away.
"Luc"Esther shouted, Andy who was looking in her phone held her attention to Esther. "What?"She asked. "I saw him"Esther shouted crying. Andy knew that Esther was going through a lot and it's normal to see illusions, she was tired. "Baby, it's okay come here"Andy said as she pull Esther toward her and hugged her comfortably. "I saw him, I saw Luc"She murmured crying. "shuuuu! I know.... I know"Andy said comforting her. Andy was sure Luc was dead, after all his family held a burial ceremony and they confirmed it was Luc Gustavo, Esther wasn't invited. the family held grudge against her. "Let's go home,"Andy said, as she opens the car door and let her in and Andy sat by the driver's sit and drove away.
