Mateo's Pov
"What do you mean you can't find them?" I raised my voice.
"They're nowhere to be found, father." Andrew said.
"You bastard, you couldn't even keep an eye on those two. Now they're gone!" I shouted. I got up from my chair and headed to the security.
As i entered the room, the security got up.
"How can i help you, sir?"
"Show me the recording that was recorded in the morning in the drawing room. Quick." I said. He started looking for the recording.
"Found it." He said and got up. I sat down and looked at the monitor. I see them talking about whatever.
"Turn the volume up." I said and he did.
"Are you serious? You do?" Jayda said
"Yes i remembered this morning."
"Now what are you gonna do? When are you gonna finally go and see her?"
"Uhh, first of all i forgot how everything happened. So I don't really you know"
"Fuck. We need to go to a safer place from here."
She remembered everything, huh? But we could live peacefully, without killing anyone and just continue living this goddamn happy life together.
Well, Michelle. You made your decision. Though everything could be better. You started this freaking game.
I turn back to Andrew who was looking at me. "Go find that girl and end her. Bring her body to me or don't come back. You'll be fucking dead too if you try to fool me." I said sternly. "Go now." I yelled before he could say anything and make me more mad.
You're dead, Michelle. You lost your last chance to be alive, just for that girl.
Michelle's Pov
"You're done?" I asked Jayda.
"Gimme a second." She said then came out of bushes. "I'm done now."
"Alright. Let's get going now, you must be hungry. We should find something to eat."
"No I'm fine let's go straight to somewhere that we should go to." She said looking further, covering her eyes from sun with her hands.
"Okay, if you say so." I said then started walking.
"Now where are we going?"
"I saw light over there last night. So i guess we're going there to check if anybody is there."
"Do you have any idea what are we doing?" She asked stopping and crossed her arms.
"Nope, I'm just following my intuition."
"I hope your intuition will not kill us. I really hope so."
"If you shut up for once and trust me, we will not die i promise you that."
"We'll die if i shut up, i guarantee you that." She rolled her eyes.
"Okay miss grumpy. I feel bad for your future partner." I laughed.
"Oh shut the fuck up." She pushed my arm.

"I told you to trust my intuition. I knew that i was right." I proudly said as we finally reached to a house.
"The only thing I'm worried about is does anyone live here?"
"I told you last night i saw lights from here so obviously there was someone. Oh and look there's a truck." I said as we walked further. "Go and knock on the door. I'll go and try to find someone behind the house."
"Alright but if i scream, you come here IMMEDIATELY or my death is on you." Jayda said with all seriousness. I chuckled and nodded.
I walk around the house and find nothing. I see a lot of old kid toys in the box behind the house and a rocking chair.
"Michelle" i hear Jayda yelling. I ran to her quickly and see an old man at the door.
"Good afternoon." I said walking to him.
"Good afternoon to you too, who are you?" He asked.
"I'm Michelle, that's Jayda. We got lost and we really need to get to Califo-"
"But" Jayda interrupted me "right now, we really need some water and food cause we haven't ate since yesterday morning."
"Yeah that too."
"Oh you're just on time. My grandson made breakfast and I'm not that hungry. Come in, girls." He said stepping out, letting us in.
As i stepped in the house, he stopped me with his walking stick. "Take off your shoes first, kid" he said. I took off my shoes and walked in.
"You said you have grandson. Where's he?" I asked him as he closed to door behind us.
"He just went hunting. I'm sure he'll be back soon." I look around the house and it looked really comfy.
"I like your house, seems cosy to live here." I said. He smiled and said thank you.
"Here are the plates and forks. And there are the fried eggs with sausages." He pointed at pan.
"Thank you so much, mister..." Jayda paused.
"Moreno. But you can just call me grandpa Emilio, I'm fine with that."
"Abuelo!" I heard a man's voice.
"I'm in the kitchen" he replied. I hear loud footsteps coming here. I saw a handsome man who seemed to be in his twenties.
"I got so scared when i saw shoes in front of the house." He said then looked at us "And who are you?"
"We got lost." I answered short.
"And what do you need from us?"
"I'd really like to get to California, to my beloved girlfriend who thinks I'm dead but actually I'm alive and lost my memory and I've been living with my father for years who was the reason i almost died but now i remembered everything and escaped from my father who is probably looking for me now but i don't care because i wanna be with the love of my life right now."
There was a long silence until grandpa Emilio coughed.
"So you tryna say you want me to get you to California?" The guy said.
"Uhh shortly, yes."
"Nope, I'm not doing that." He said then walked out of kitchen.
"Wait wait wait." I said and he stopped then turned to me.
"What" he said annoyed.
"I'm like super rich so i can pay you for that."
"If you're super rich you wouldn't be here right now."
"It's cause of circumstances that I can't really explain. I mean i can but it'll take me too long to explain." He didn't say anything and started walking to wherever. "Wait. Jayda, tell him that I'm super rich." I said looking at her who was now drinking tea with grandpa Emilio.
"Yeah she's rich, i mean her dad but still."
"Don't talk while eating." Grandpa Emilio said.
"Hey handsome boy, i swear i-"
"Alright alright, I'll help you but now can you shut up please?" He yelled from other room.
I think he likes me.
