Who killed me?

Five

"I have nothing to explain to you, I was just about to ask you something but weren't in your room. I got out as soon as I realized that."

Papasok na sana ako ng hinablot ni Lyle ang braso ko pero iwinaglit koi yon bago ako tuluyang nakapag sara ng pinto.

I'm discovered, Am I?

"What if he's the one who took and possibly killed Cattleya?"

But I can't be bothered enough by the fact that this family, this family makes me sick.

Cattleya is having an affair with her uncle whose age is almost twice as her, who has a daughter"

"A fcking daughter."

Ma'am Aia's husband is having an affair with her, out of all the people in this house, she's the one with the strongest motive. As I remembered Lyle's warning, I began to realize that I may be just falling into her trap when I accepted the deal. I needed the money and she needed someone to pose as Cattleya to cover everything.

"I'm an Idiot."

I was shaking, my whole body is. The aircon was in full blast but I was sweating like I just ran a mile and I feel like I am about to vomit.

"I need to get out of here, I-I can't do this anymore," I cried.

If Cattleya was really killed or kidnapped, what makes me think that I was safe here in the first place?

With my hands shaking and my brain dwindling from everything, I got up and began to pack my things, I left everything that is not mine. I looked at the walk-in closet and remembered that my watch was still there so with all the strength that I have left, I walked inside with my legs and knees shaking.

I was about to exit the room when a drawer caught my attention. The closet was big that I know I saw this area but didn't paid any attention to it. There was a key attached to the keyhole of drawer. I took a deep breath bago lumapit doon at iniikot ang susi at hinila pabukas ang drawer.

Chocolates.

"A bunch of them," I whispered.

"Kaparehas lang ito nang nasa kwarto ni Lyle, I don't get it," naguguluhan kong tanong.

This was also the same chocolate that was served to me noong dumating ako dito dahil galing ito kay Heurgette.

"Why are they not eating it?"

"At bakit hindi sila nilalangam?"

I picked up one of the chocolate.

"It's not even melting," kunot noo kong sabi.

Inilapit ko iyon sa ilong ko bago ko ito bahagyang inamoy pero agad ko din itong inilayo sa ilong ko dahil amoy pabango ito.

A very familliar scent.

"Heurgette's perfume, of course siya ang nag-gawa nito."

Napailing ako.

"No, my investigation is over. I just want to go home now."

But my eyes caught one more thing and no matter how hard I tried not to think about it, my gut was screaming for me to just take a look at it.

With a defeated sigh, lumapit ako sa vault at pinihit iyon ng pakaliwa.

Click!

Kumawang ang bakal na pinto ng vault.

"That's it? Just one number left?"

There were jewelries inside, gold bars and a bunch of dollars. But a pastel pink notebook was at the top of it all.

"Diary? Cattleya did not strike me as a girl who would keep one."
