Twenty-three

"Why did you help us escape that night?"

Escape.

I must have heard the wrong thing… but, that was really what Stella said.

She just asked him why he helped us escaped that night?

What Stella talking about the beach house?

No, no, no, if she was thinking about the beach house, it was very early in the morning.

I must have been clouded with everything and now, I could not process words well.

"I didn't tell you four years ago and you suddenly think I will tell you now." Rico refused.

Oh my goodness, four years ago!

My mind and ears were not truly playing games with me.

I did heard right.

Rico had saved us.

But how.

I opened my eyes and gazed directly at the sideway of Rico as he drove. He was wearing a straight look, more like angry.

"Just giving it a try to see if you have grown to trust me." Stella sighed as she popped her head from the back, putting it on my seat.
