Chapter 40 - CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE

Mikaela is still comforting her grieving sister, Chesca, after learning of the brutal death of the family she considered her own.

Chesca decided to return to the scene. Despite her desire to intervene on Chesca's behalf, Mikaela remained steadfast once she made her decision.

She only looked at Chesca, worried about what would happen. That's why she immediately informed Jake about it.

She just hugged her sibling then.

Ellese, help our sibling. Mikaela thought to herself back then.

Suddenly, a breeze brushed against her shoulder. 

"They're already here…" Jake, who had been quietly waiting for his guest, couldn't help but speak up.

The door opened, and she saw Felix again, this time with Zenne.

"Where is William?" Felix then asked Jake.

"Let him go back to the organization for now." Jake said.

Felix just nodded.

"What are we going to talk about?" asked Felix.

"I will go back to the place where it happened." Chesca immediately said back then, her eyes swollen from crying. 

"Are you sure about that?" Zenne asked back then.

She knew her because she used to hang out with Fernan.

Mikaela saw her sister nodding confidently in response to Chesca's decision.

"What are you going to do there?" Felix immediately asked Chesca, who looked at Chesca intently.

"I will put an end to the greed of my brother and Dad." Chesca said firmly while looking at Felix.

Never did she inherit the bravery of her siblings, because Mikaela knew her heart was weak. 

"You think you can end your dad's evil? Out of all the people here, only you and Mikaela know what kind of person he is." Felix said.

"I need to find the evidence that Mom hid back then. Mommy told me the place where she buried it all those years ago." Chesca added.

Mikaela looked at Chesca.

Do Ellese and Felisa know about this too? It made her question it in her mind. That's why they protected it from their father and knew what would happen.

"I will go back to the mansion." Mikaela couldn't help but say.

She saw the shock on their faces.

"Do you know your fate when you return to the mansion?" Zenne, who was holding his forehead, asked.

"Where is Charles? Is that his advice to you, to go back there?" Mikaela faced a barrage of questions.

"Sis, you don't have to go back to that hellish place!" Chesca shook her head, telling her not to go back to the mansion.

"I need to go back. I need to find out the whole story of why he killed our real mother and your mom, Chesca. Until now, I still don't understand." Mikaela looked at Chesca.

She just shook her head, telling her not to do the impossible thing that her heart couldn't handle. However, she must take independent action, free from external influence.

"I told you before, you would get into trouble at the mansion." Felix said to her.

She can see the future; she knows within herself that she has this ability and can communicate with her siblings, Ellese and Felisa.

"I'll be careful." 

Zenne simply scratched his head in response.

"Hey, after Fernan sacrificed his life, you're going to the den of a tiger without any knowledge of the events." Felix reminded Mikaela of what he had said back then.

"I'll be careful." Mikaela said it with all her determination.

She heard a long sigh and looked to see who it was. Jake was deep in thought, weighing the possible outcomes in the future.

"No," she heard Jake say.

That's why she was disappointed with what she heard.

"Why?" he asked her.

"You will be a burden to us." Jake said it to her bluntly.

Jake's words had such a powerful impact that she found herself unable to speak.

I was actually a hindrance to them. She smiled, clearly hurt by what Jake had said to her.

"That's why I want to help in the way I know how." Mikaela said softly then.

"In the way, you know? If you really know your brother and father, do you think they will be happy to welcome you back?" This is what Jake asked her.

"I know what you're thinking, Mikaela; you want to come back to be with them. Do you think they'll fall for it?" Jake asked her again.

She couldn't speak; she just clenched her hand at that moment. 

"Whoa, calm down, you two." That's all Zenne could say. 

The tension where they are now is too heavy. 

"Felix, what do you think?" Asking for help from Zenne, Felix remained silent.

Felix looked at her intently.

"I know you will sneak out to that mansion. I realized that you are with one of my siblings, Jenny." Felix said to her.

Will I be with Jenny? Mikaela asked herself that back then.

"W --- Why?" She asked Felix innocently.

"I don't know; you should seek the answer to why you will be with Jenny. I can only see what will happen; you don't understand why you will be with her. Hold your patience, Mikaela."

"Why don't you find out and answer your question about why my sister will be with you?" He said this and tapped her shoulder.

"If you're feeling weak, my sister will help you take advantage. But please avoid the future if you can; don't endanger each other."

In that moment, Mikaela felt a sense of calmness in her mind. She calmed herself down and collected her thoughts. She believes in Felix. The first thing she would do is find out why Jenny got involved with her. 

Mikaela looked at her sibling. Her sister also calmed down then, because she didn't agree with her plan either.

"Chesca, is your decision final?" Jake asked, turning to Chesca.

Mikaela saw her sister just nod. 

"Where will you stay?" Jake asked Chesca.

Chesca smiled at Jake. "In our old hideout, sister Mikaela."

She remembered that they had a hideout there that only they knew about. 

"What about your necessities?" She asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, sis, we survived back then, right?" She asked her.

"I'm sorry to break the news to you, Chesca, but you need to exercise caution; you shouldn't go to your hiding place as Charles is already there." Jake immediately said to Chesca.

"I can handle myself," Chesca replied.

"You're a teenager; you know what happened to you when you were at camp, right?" He asked his sister.

"You need to follow, Chesca; the decision is also for you." Mikaela said this so she wouldn't argue with their cousin.

The person in front of them never changes their mind when they make a decision.

"Felix, aren't you going to say that Thalia is also there?" Zenne asked, turning to Felix.

"Thalia? What is Thalia going to do there?" Her sister immediately asked the person they were talking to.

"Well, just like you, she's also looking for answers, Chesca. There's no escaping fate, Chesca." Felix immediately replied to his sister.

"Why did you let Thalia make her own decision, Felix?" She heard her cousin, who had been listening quietly, ask a question.

"What can I do? You don't know how my sister thinks. Yes, Thalia is your student, Jake. But I know her better."

"I know, but you know your sister will be in danger."

Mikaela saw Felix smile faintly at the person he was talking to.

"Why? Will you let your cousin get hurt too? I guess you will not sit around to watch your cousin get hurt; I will do the same." 

She noticed that her cousin Jake was shaking his head. 

"By the way, Thalia is already on her way there." 

"I guess it would be embarrassing for us elders if we don't do anything, right?" Felix asked them.

"Ellese and Felisa hope you are happy with our decision." 

She immediately walked towards the door. She saw her two siblings with serious faces, even though they were bloodied; they suddenly disappeared from her sight.
