Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Hell

"You may have deceived others especially Phoebe not me. And you better not include Phoebe in whatever you're planning because I won't let you hurt her." Ryan threatened.

"Why will I hurt? She's my daughter?"

"Daughter?" He sneered. "Then what about Mom?" Mr. Meyers shivers. "What happened to Mom? Even though I was a kid back then, I knew exactly what happened. If you could do that to Mom, you would also do the same to Phoebe."

"RYAN MEYERS!!"

"YES JAMES MEYERS!!"

Mr. Meyers clenched his fist. "You both are my children, so everything I did or will do is because of you both."

"Us? No it's not. So don't include us or my friends in whatever you're doing, especially Phoebe. I wouldn't care if you're my Dad or not because I'll be dragging to hell with me."

Ryan angrily left the house and slammed the door. When he slammed shut the door, he saw a man standing outside.

"Young Mast..."

Before the man could complete his sentence, Ryan punched him. The man was stunned.

"Young Master..."

"If anything should happen to Lexi, you'll regret it...no... I'll make you regret coming into this world!"

"Me? Young Master what are you talking about?" He smirked. "Why will I hurt her?"

"We both knows she's Aunt Rita's child. We were close when we kids but because of Dad's selfish reasons Aunt Rita, Aunt Aemy and Mom died. And now you're after Lexi? Unfortunately, I won't let you. Keep that in mind Kai!"

Kai secretly clenched his fist. "Rita and I never had a child together?"

"And who told you Lexi is the child of Aunt Rita and that man? Uncle Kai, I've always thought you're smart but ever since that incident. Tsk tsk tsk!" Ryan walked away.

Kai stood immobile as he seemed to remember something 10 years.

'You will come to regret if you do hurt her.'

"No! That's not true. It can't be." Kai mumbled as he walked in.

"What's the problem?" Mr. Meyers.

Kai bows. "Nothing, My Lord."

"About the girl?"

"They both escaped.'

"Escape? Again?" Kai said through clenched teeth.

"Yes My Lord and we saw Lady Momo."

"Momo?"

"My Lord, don't you get it?"

Mr. Meyers raised his eyebrows. "She can't do that. She knows the consequences of doing so."

"You and I know what Lady Momo is capable of doing."

"Just keep your eyes on her and Momo be."

Kai sighed. "Yes. My Lord."

"And also do send a message to Lily, I wanna see her."

"I will My Lord."

"You may leave."

Kai bowed and left the house.

Mr. Meyers sat down and clenched his fist. No one noticed there was another person with them.

DUNHAM'S RESIDENCE

Tena's Room

Tena lay down on her bed, murmuring.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

~Knock! Knock! Knock ~

The door opened and Ivan walked in. "Angel~?" He called out with a soft voice.

"Lights ~" Tena sobs. "Sh...she doesn't want me anymore. C.. Cupcake h... hates me."

Ivan sat beside her and embraced her. "Of course not. She's just mad at you."

"B.. but she knows!"

Ivan was confused. "Knows what?" After two seconds his eyes widened. "Don't tell me!!"

"Ah! Not that one. What if she finds out about it. She's gonna hate me more. We won't be friends anymore if she finds out!!"

"She wouldn't. So don't worry about it."

Tena sniffles. "What do you mean?"

"Back then I erased their memories, so she wouldn't remember anything."

"R.. really?" Tena's eyes sparkles. Ivan caresses her hair.

"Thanks."

OUTSIDE THE ROOM

"Lena? What are you doing?" Joy asked as she sees Lena eavesdropping.

Lena turned around in shock. "Why are you here?"

"I...."

"Don't say anything. I don't wanna know." Lena said arrogantly and left.

Joy:....

She sighed and walked into the room.

"Ten, here is your milk."

Tena breaks out from the hug and takes the glass of milk and drinks. "Light, I...."

"Alright. I'll be on my room." Ivan walks out.

"Joy, do you think I'm a bad friend?"

"To Lexi?" Tena nods. "No you're not."

"W... what if I did something?"

"I believe you have a good reason for doing so."

"But she doesn't think so."

"Ten~ I just saw..."

"About Aunt." Tena chimed in. "Have you spoken to her? How is she?"

"Yes I have and she's good. She said you should have patience that everything will soon be okay."

"Really? I hope so. But when?"

"No idea."

"Thanks a lot Joy."

"You don't have to. What are friends for? Besides we're family. Oh! Just now I saw Lena eavesdropping."

"Lena? What's her problem?"

"I think she's looking for answers."

Tena chuckles. "From me? You've gotta be kidding."

"What if..."

"There's no what if." Tena chimed in.

"Just listen to me, what if she's been controlled by someone?"

"Controlled? By who? Lily?"

LENA'S ROOM

Lena is sitting on her bed while thinking about what happened yesterday.

"If Ivan and Tena knows about their true self, why didn't I know? How could they do this to me? Even Big Brother too." Lena mumbled as she bit her nails. Which she does whenever she's nervous or afraid.

"We're family how could they? Wait! Does Mom and Dad know? Well, I'm sure about Mom but I am sure Dad is human, then how come?" Lena stood up as she pace. I need answers but none is willing to say a thing. So Big broth...." She stopped mumbling when the door opened and a lady walks in.

"M.. Mommy?"

"Mrs. Dunham smiled as she walked to Lena and held her hands.

"Sweetie, why do look pale? What happened to you?"

Lena felt a flash. She hurriedly released her hands and sat down on the bed. Mrs. Dunham frowned at what she did but when Lena looked at her, she forced a smile.

"Nothing. Mommy, why are you here." She smiled.

"Why? Can't Mommy see you again?"

"Of course you can."

Immediately Mrs. Dunham sat down on the bed, Lena stood up and sat on the desk that was beside her bed.

"Mommy, I wanna stay with Big Brother."

"Ajani? Why?"

"Nothing." She chuckles. "Mommy, I just wanna start with him for a few days. I miss him a lot. Besides you and Dad will be on vacation. So I can't stay here alone."

"There's Tena."

"You know we don't get along. So it's best I avoid her."

"Joy or Ivan?"

"Mommy~" she chuckles. "Joy will be going back to school by next week, so I'll be the one one in the house. Who knows, maybe Lil brother might go back to the dorm or stay with Ryan."

"Fine! Just be careful."

"I will Mommy."
