A Simple Etiquette (Serenity Series #1)

Cushner

"What a-are you saying?" Stephanie chuckled but I can hear a horror in her voice.

"You and your twin were fraternal except for the hair. Cinnamon brown. Very identical. A friend of mine experimented all the fibers. Though same color, yet different way of growing."

Mohan looked at me and raised his eyebrow, he probably realized that I was the one who tested the fibers.

"One of the fibers way of growing is the same as yours. She compared the one from the crime scene to one that I've got from that interrogation."

I remembered that when Lex hugged Stephanie for the hair and gave a paper to her for the fingerprint. But no fingerprint were found except for the victim's though.

Stephanie shouted as she denied Lex's accusations. I heard a sound of a moving chair. I think Lex just stood up.

"Stop pretending Ivy Rancher." Proud bestfriend na naman ako neto.

"You and Stephanie killed Saffi. After that, you poisoned Stephanie, burn her until she become ashes to block the DNA test and made it look like you're the one who died."

"At the interrogation, Stephanie's bleeding stopped while you didn't that's why you're here after you tripped. You have Hemophilia while the twins are just a carriers." Nag paretoke pa nga ang ate niyo para mag panggap.

"Make sense why Ivy is wearing a mask at her birthday party. I assumed that it's nose surgery." I mumbled but enough for Mohan to hear it.

"When crying, you're whole face will turn red while Stephanie doesn't, just some parts." At nakarinig ako ng mga yapak at pagbukas ng pinto, senyales na paalis na si Lex.

"Or should I say, Ivy Cushner? Illegitimate child of the Mr. Cushner. Make sense why you and Stephanie are look alike. Parehong nagmana sa tatay."

Pagkatapos niyon ay narinig kong sinira niya na ang pinto at napatingin ako sa labas ng makarinig ng siren mula sa police car.

"Hoy babae! Kain na daw." She took my arms and forced fully pulled me to stand up.

"Girl, tama na yan. Aral ka nang aral baka malampasam mo na yung summa cum laude nyan."

Nandito kami ngayon sa Casa kasi trip niya lang at libre raw ang mga pagkain dito!

I looked around to find Timmy since I wasn't able to see nor play with him this past few days. I missed him already. I pouted at that thought.

Ganon na ba ako ka lonely?

We used the elevator since we were feeling lazy to use the stairs today.

I tried to find him again the moment we arrived at the first floor. Pero nadaanan na namin ang daan papuntang dining, naikot ko na rin ang buong dining hall pero bigo ako.

"Where's my baby?" I asked Lex, hopeless.

"Nandoon sa kubo kasama yung aso niya." Huh? May aso si Timmy? Paano siya mag aalaga ng aso eh siya nga mismo ay nagpapa-alaga rin?

"Huh?"

"Ha?"

She looked at me lazily while eating a rice with mayonnaise, lots of tuna flakes and a green crunchy paper thing like. I don't know what that is.
