CHAPTER 18: The Investigation

KATE’s P.O.V.

I don’t know how many days it took me to find something suspicious about Claire and Darren. But waiting for apparently nothing bored me to death, I guess. It’s been more than a month since I last saw the both of them personally. Though I often see their faces on photos provided by Detective Suarez.

“So, I want us to come all together at Darren’s engagement party. I wanted the both of you to show support to my bestfriend’s son,” Dad stated, before taking another bite to his breakfast.

I tightly gripped on my spoon and fork. Why does he needs to say that in front of my face? And to Mr. Herrera, why does he even invited us right after what his son have done to me? Do I really deserve to be treated like this?

“I won’t come out there,” Mom firmly stated.

“Try me, Katheryn.” Dad glared at Mom, so I decided to cut their conversation off before it turned out to another useless argument.
