THIRTEEN "Hello honey? I know by the time you listening to this, I'm already dead but I want you to promise me one thing though, that you will fight hard for what belongs to you and your sister, I tried my best to bring food on the table and all the risks I took were for your own good and well being, I love you all as my daughters and I would do anything to see you happy, I'm sorry I dragged you in my mess but I don't know how I can make it up to you, now I want you to put this recording in a flash drive and every other file that is in this laptop, I scanned every other documents of all the properties I own, so take note. While I was away for that one year, I found gold where I was working and I think I told you that but you were too young to understand, now when I found the gold I informed my boss but hid some since I knew I wasn't going to get any share, that I what I used to get everything you see, the house and all the properties, I did for my family and that is you, but seems like there were some people who weren't happy with my success, they have planned my death for a while now but they haven't succeeded, I don't even know if I will survive any more of these traps but all I pray is for your safety..." And the audio went on and on, I was in tears as my heart was literally tearing apart, how could he? After my dad had done for him he still had guts to plan for his death? How could human being be so cruel to the point of killing someone so they could inherit what he struggled to get, wicked witches "Danny, are you okay? I heard you crying, is everything okay?" Pedro asked for the umpteenth time but I wasn't just ready to talk yet, a lot of things were running in my mind and I just didn't know what to do at the moment "Yes... I'm fine, I'm just sad my parent's death and netting that is going on" I said as I sniffed and wiped my tears with the back of my hands. The room that Mrs. Montero offered us was a big spacious room with one double Decker bed and another single bed which I was to use while Kenadi and Talia were to use the double Decker one. Pedro had helped arrange my clothes and Talia's in the closet while Kenadi was to pick her clothes at grandma's house before coming at the house, I was so lost in my own thoughts that I didn't even realize Pedro had come in and was sitting at the edge of the bed. "It's going to be okay my love and I'm going to make sure your parents get the justice they deserve, the people caused you all this pain should and must suffer for what they did, they won't go unpunished I swear, and now that mom has agreed to help you I'm 100% sure justice will prevail, just try and be strong if not for me or for yourself then for your little sister, Talia, she needs you this time okay can you try that?" "Yes of course, I got to be strong for them, I just don't know what to do" I said amidst sobs and he hugged me, its I wanted to feel okay and glad he was there for me. After a few minutes of urging me to take something because I had not eaten since morning, I finally gave in but I wasn't even being hungry and had already lost appetite, I mean who could eat in the situation I was in?, everything had just turned upside down in a snap of a finger so I just forced food down my throat because he insisted. "There's something o want to discuss with you and it's kind of private" I said to Pedro after I had relaxed, it was around eight in the evening, his mom had just called and said she was on her way with Kenadi and Talia so she would be in the house in about thirty minutes, that was enough time for me to talk to Pedro, I only hoped he understood my situation and he would help me get through it "Hmm... Tell me I told you I can do anything for you and anytime so tell me what is troubling you?" He asked as he massaged my back slowly, it was kind of soothing to me and I just didn't want him to stop. "It private, can you please close the door?" I asked and he agreed, he stood up and locked the door then came back and sat on the same spot he was earlier "So these documents, I want you to keep them safe for me, they are vital and I wouldn't want to lose any of them" "What are they if I may ask?" He asked "Just know they are very important to me and my sister, it's the only thing that my father left me and it's the only thing that can help me seek revenge for my parent's death" I said and he nodded in agreement. "So will you please help me to transfer these files in different flash disks, I want to have more copies because you never know" I said and glad he knew lot more about computers, it didn't take long before I had several copies of the title deeds and every other credentials three flash disks, I gave one to Pedro and the original documents while I remained with the rest of the disks, I wasn't sure if he would keep them safe for me but I had to make sure I had some back up somewhere. "Okay don't worry about this, I'm going to keep them safe for you and like I earlier said I'd do anything to see you happy and safe" he said and kissed me slightly on my cheeks before he left with the files and the flash disk. I connected the laptop to the Wi-Fi and flashed it, I didn't want the people after me to get anything in the recycle bin After about fifteen minutes the door bell rang, I was in the living room so I went straight to open it, my sister and cousin were the one I first spotted and I immediately ran to hug Talia, her eyes were red and puffy a bear indication of crying, I wanted to be there for her but I didn't know what to tell her yet since we were all broken and then she started crying on my shoulders "It's okay little sis" I said as I rubbed her on the back and she just continued sobbing, after she had calmed down, she managed to say "Danny those are our parents who burnt beyond recognition, mom and dad! Who can be so cruel on this earth to let the innocent people die such a merciless death? They didn't deserve it you know?" "I know Talia, no one deserves to die in such a way or either way, it’s just that sometimes we don't choose our destiny" I said trying to calm her down but she was still bitter "I just don't understand why they died, what they do? And what about us? Are we even safe? If that’s what they did to papa and mama what about us? Do you think they are going to spare us?" She asked "That is why we are here Talia, Pedro's mom Mrs. Montero offered us to stay here and she looks into the matter, we are not safe out there" "I'm so scared, I think they are watching us" she said and I kind of agreed with her but I wouldn't show it "We going to be safe here, for as long as we stay here, I can guarantee you our safety" I said and she nodded in agreement and just then the bedroom door was knocked
