A Mysterious Man

"Who knew that after so many years, you are still such an angel, you care so much about your sister, have you forgotten what she has done to you?"

"Oh it's you!" Sunny recognizes who it is, "I didn't expect it to be you."

She hasn't seen Mandy for a really long time, she wonders why she appears now.

"Sunny, it is your fault that she lost her child, why don't you give your daughter to her since she understands so much, I don't think she would mind if she has another mother." "Don't you even dare!"

Sunny is really angry now, she hates people like Mandy, people who are so ridiculous, who don't know anything about what is good for oneself.

"Why wouldn't I dare? Have you forgotten what Kevin did to me for you?"

"I don't know, but what I do know is that Kevin didn't hurt you so much."

"True, he wouldn't, the person who would is you and Kelly, the two of you knew that me and Kevin had a long history, but what have you done to me?"

Even though Sunny is a little scared of Mandy at this moment, she still holds Zola behind her to protect her.

"Even if what I did was not nice, I am now apologizing to you, and at this moment, I haven't done anything to you again, why would you keep me here and not let me go?"

"Sunny, your child with him is already so big, and you are still trying to tell me you haven't hurt me? Do you think I am stupid?"

"Okay, so what do you want?"

"Hahahahaha, what I want is for you to lose everything you have, you and your sister, I want you to die!"

Mandy takes out a gun from her pocket, and holds it against Sunny, "Who wants to go first?"

Both Sunny's and Zola's faces turn pale when they see the gun, especially Zola's, she hasn't expected Mandy to be serious about it.

"Many, are you crazy!"

Zola stares at Mandy in disbelief, while she starts to struggle with her hands, trying to get the ropes loose.

"It won't help you, this kind of knot get tighter the more you try to loosen it. Hahahaha Zola, who knew you would have a day like this. Remember when you and I made plans to frame your sister? You weren't that scared back in the days!" Sunny says angrily, "Shut up, you are nothing!"

"Right, I am nothing, but I will make you have nothing either!"

Then Mandy unlocks the gun, and prepares herself to pull the trigger, when there is a knock on the door.

It is a rhythmic knock, three times.

Mandy turns to the door, unexpected of the knock, she puts her gun away, and yells towards the door, "Who is it?"

From the other side of the door they hear a voice say, "It's me, the landlord."

Mandy's eyes show doubt, and she replies, "But you came yesterday already."

The person outside the door pauses, and continues, "Right, but my calculations yesterday were wrong, I wanna go over the rent with you once again."

Mandy hides Sunny and Zola somewhere, and then goes to the door to open it, "I am sorry, I was..." showering. But the rest of the sentence is stuck in her throat when she sees the familiar face at the door. "It's you!" Kevin.

Kevin also hasn't expected the person to open the door to be Mandy, and stands at the door, stunned.

He takes a good look inside, as if he hasn't seen Sunny at all.

"Why are you here?"

This question gives a feeling of old friends meeting each other again.

Sunny and Zola who are hidden in another room are having this conversation. "Zola, I owe you this."

"Hah, you know the two of us don't really have anything to talk about anymore."

Zola gives a laugh, her look shows a little loneliness, "But, do you think I will have children in the future?"

Sunny pauses, and immediately replies, "As long as you do as I say, and get healthier, you will have your children."

Zola's expression lights up because of the promise she gets from her sister, "Really?"

""Really, just believe me!"

"Okay, then I will believe you one last time."

"Do you think we will get away from Mandy?"

When Sunny hears Zola's question, she throws a look towards the door, and says, "I am sure we will."

The conversation on the other side of the door continues, "I live here."

"I am looking for someone."

"Looking for someone?" Mandy looks surprised, "Why are you looking here?"

Kevin sees the surprise on Many's face, and wonders if he might have looked at the wrong place.

But soon, Kevin hears a sound.

"Help..." This voice seems to be coming from Mandy's room.

Kevin's expression changes immediately, his voice dense, "Let me through."

Mandy also hears the voice that calls out for help, and her face expression changes multiple times.

"What are you talking about, how come I don't understand."

"Let me in!"

"Hey, you know, I gotta be somewhere, so I need to leave."

Then Mandy wants to close the door, which clearly shows that she has done something.

"Wait." Kevin is not going to let her go that easily, he puts his foot between the door, and tells the people behind him, "Search this place."

Mandy looks at the policemen that are coming out of nowhere, she can't keep her cover anymore, and quickly takes out her gun from behind. "Don't move!"

She points the gun to her head, "If you move, I will shoot!"

The policemen are afraid she might do something stupid, when they see the gun in her hand, so the head of the group gestured for the other ones to stop.

Mandy sees everyone stop in their moves, and then she says to Kevin, "Do you know how much I love you? And this is how you treat me?"

Kevin gives her a heatless look, "You loving me doesn't matter to me."

"Haha, right, but this person matters to you, right?"

Mandy points her gun to the room door, and shoots, the bullet goes through the door.

Kevin hears a scream loud and clear, it is Sunny's voice.

"You!" Kevin's fierce eyes are looking at Mandy, "You are one evil and heartless woman!"

"Evil? What about you? What about them? What is so wrong about me loving you? Why does everyone have to treat me like shit?"

"Treat you like shit? I told you I don't know you and I won't love you, I have told you so many times, but have you ever listened to me? You are just a stranger to me, the only thing you ever brought to me is trouble, why would I ever like you?" The words coming out of Kevin's mouth combined with his ice cold face expression successfully bring Mandy to collapse.

"Hahaha, yes you said it right, so right!"

She points the gun to Kevin, "Since we couldn't be together alive, let's die together, at least there is something we will get out of it!"

"Stop that!" One of the police officers says, he waits for his chance and throws himself on Mandy, taking the gun out of her hands.

"Phew!" Everyone at the scene is relieved about this ending, and one of the officers takes Mandy into cuffs.

"Kevin, I will not let this go! Even if I die, I will hunt you as a ghost!"

"Take her away!" Kevin gestures to the officer, "I don't want to see her!"

"Yes, sir."

Kevin follows a few other officers to enter the bedroom, and in the room, where the screams came from, they find the two persons that are hold captive.

"Are you okay?" Kevin helps Sunny, who fell on the floor, to stand up, "Have you been hit by the bullet?"

"No, Zola pushed me away, otherwise..."

Kevin turns to look at Zola who is sitting on the other side, nods his head and says to her "Thank you!"

"No worries. I'll leave."

Zola stands up and nods towards Kevin and Sunny who are staring at her, "Goodbye."

"Is it all over now?" Sunny looks at Kevin, still a little afraid and traumatized, just a few minutes ago, she thought she is going to die here.

She has to admit, the shot Mandy fired was very precise.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Kevin pulls Sunny up and turns her to take a look, to make sure she is okay, before he stops his worries.

"Hmph." Sunny throws a look at him, even though she doesn't say it, but she still feels warm in her heart. She doesn't know why but the moment she sees Kevin, all her worries and fear is vanished.

Just like it used to be.

"Sunny, there's something I wanna tell you."

Kevin hesitates, but then decides to tell her what he thinks.

"I know everything about what happened back then. I wanna apologize for it. I feel guilty about everything you had to endure, and I'm sorry that you lost faith in me. I know if I say I didn't know back then, it sounds like I wanna run away from commitment." "But I promise you, from now on, I will never let you have to go through that again, I will protect you, and hold back everything that worries you."

When Sunny hears his words, she cannot say what she is feeling, but it is a good feeling.

"Let us keep the past in the past, see, I am fine."

Kevin hesitates again, but then asks her, "So, is Macie my daughter?"

Sunny's foot steps stop, "Do you really wanna know?"

"Yes."

"If I tell you, will you take her away from me?"

"I won't."

Sunny looks at him, her eyes doubting, but then she replies, "She is."

Kevin cannot believe his ears, "Really? Is that true?"

"..." Sunny doesn't dare to look him in the eyes, she she looks into a different direction, then she nods her head heavily.

"But why didn't you tell me before?" Kevin suddenly remembers that Sunny lied to him before.

"Because I was afraid that if you knew, you might take her away from me. I thought that you and Bella were banded together as traitors, so I was afraid."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
