Jazmine Hale's Point Of View

"He is Alex Magnus, heir of Magnus group and haciendero of Hacienda Magnus Luisita. Girl that guy or that man you are with earlier is considered the youngest billionaire in the country" Luxxe added.

"I'll say it again Jaz, He is Alex Magnus" Luxxe added.

I unconsciously dropped Luxxe's phone because of shock, no its impossible that Alex may be this guy. No.

I shook my head "Nope, there's no way Alex is this guy. I swear he's an ordinary farmer Luxxe. This guy and Alex are just difefrent maybe they are twins? Or just people who looks exactly alike" I said.

"But what if he really is this guy?" Luxxe asked and bit her lower lip. "And if he really is this guy on screen, why would Alex Magnus pretend as a farmer to you when he is a conglomerate?" Luxxe added as she asks herself.

"Maybe you are just overthinking Luxxe, I think you're exhausted taking good care of Ethan and mom" I said.

Luxxe shrugged "I don't know" She said and then she looked at me. "Just show you gratitude towards me when I propose to Ethan" Luxxe said.

"But looking at the situation right now, what's your plan?" She asked.

I took a deep breath and gazed at mom "Now that you're back Jaz, how will you handle the changes?" Luxxe added.

"A counter attack of course, I won't just let them off the hook especially now that I have a psychopath to catch" I said, Luxxe looked at me with her confused look.

"What do you mean Jaz? Jaz don't tell me you are planning to catch that psychopath alone?" Luxxe asked.

"Why not?" I asked.

"Jaz are you freaking out of your mind, that psychopath is a killer and he assaulted your own brother. Let me just remind you that he is a very dangerous one" Luxxe said as she try to warn me.

"Exactly, he shouldn't have involved my family in the first place, I'm the one he wants then be it" I said.

Luxxe gazed at me and then he slowly shook her head "Have you banged your head while you were away?" Luxxe asked "That psychopath is more than capable of taking one's life" Luxxe added.

I smirked "The perfect world that I thought I have was all an illussion, I have nothing to lose now Luxxe" I said and took a deep sigh "The only thing I can do right now is to fight evil with evil" I added.

Luxxe stared at me "What about Cindy and Ivan? What's your plan?" She asked.

I smiled bitterly "There's nothing else to do with them Luxxe, I'll just have to do what they did to me. An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" I said and laughed "Funny how I'm using the code of hammurabi in this kind of situation" I added.

Luxxe blinked twice as she process what she heard in her head "Am I thinking the right thing?" She asked and then she shook her head "No--- no, no, no, no Jaz. You can choose not to do that, Jaz don't stoop down--"

"You see Luxxe, Alex actually left this piece of note outside before he disappeared" I said and read the note.

"The only way to fight evil is to become greater evil because only evil can fight evil which is true" I said and looked at Luxxe.

"Its just hypocritic when one says kill evil with kindness. Evil is evil and the most satisfying way of killing evil is by showing evil what real evil is, only then can they feel fear and regret---- feeling regretful for messing with someone who are more evil than them" I added.

"But Jaz still----" Luxxe said and paused, hesitating to finish what she's about to say.

"You know how nasty I really am and everyone around me knows how far I can go, that's how nasty and evil I can be and since they're asking me for it, I better show them the consequences of their sins and betrayal" I added and gazed at Luxxe.

"Don't worry Luxxe, I'm not asking you to join me and side with me. I just want you to watch" I said and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Luxxe asked.

I smiled "I should announce my come back first, right? That's the best thing to do to attract my enemies" I said and left.

Cindy Morgan-Seville' Point Of View

( Athena Palace) 

"You went to a live talk show and spilled everything about us? Are you still in your right mind right now Cindy! Did you really just did that knowing the fact that it can fucking destroy our careers!" Ivan shouted in anger.

I took a deep sigh to calm myself  up and not to get myself into a silly argument with him "Babe, I'm tired right now, are you really going to scold me just because of that small mistake? I'm already at my edge right now and I don't want you adding up to it" I said in a calm manner.

Ivan smiled bitterly "Small mistake?! Cindy that's not a fucking small mistake! The people will now look at us negatively, you promised me that you will never inform the public about our marriage but what the fuck is this?! You're just showing me that you did not use your fucking brain and went to a broadcasting station to blow everything up" Ivan shouted.

I glared at him "Are you saying I'm stupid?!" I asked in a serious manner.

"Its not like that, babe our career is about to get ruined----"

"What's the the big deal? Babe its just career. There are more opportunities for us when our company decides to let go of us. We are already at the top of food chain, we can't go down easily like this" I said and paused.

"I mean its true that we're married, why are you over reacting? Its not like we murdered someone" I added.

Ivan grabbed both of my shoulders and then he glared at my eyes "Listen to me Cindy and engrave this in your brain right now. For celebrities like us, one scandal is enough to kill the both of us" He said.

"I am playing a lead role right now and I just landed another lead role for an upcoming project, and not to mention? I will be having a major concert three months from now but all of those may not happen and may be cancelled, why? Because of that fucking scandal that I betrayed my fiancee and married someone else" Ivan added and then he removedd his hands from my shoulders.

"Are you still not getting it Cindy? Our careers are in danger because of your ammoral thoughts. We are celebrities Cindy and one wrong move can ruin our entire career" He added.

I looked at him and then I sighed "Are you seriously being worried about that lame issue?" I asked and then I took a deep sigh "I didn't know that you're still a coward until now. You were a coward back then and now, when are you going to change?" I asked and looked at him.

"The reason why I had to betray Jaz and cheat with you, the reason why we broke up when you were mine in the first place are all because of your cowardice. Its because you didn't want the world to know that your girlfriend is dirtpoor when you were starting as a singer" I said.

"Stop dragging the past here Cindy, it was all in the past now" Ivan said.

I smiled "You're right, people only care about scandals and ways to put one down. We can just make Jazmine as the bad guy here since she's not around to defend herself and no one is around to defend her, her family's in the hospital anyway" I said.

"Frame Jazmine? How?" Ivan asked.

"By making the public believe that Jazmine's stalker is not really existing and that the one who really killed Jude was her. The witness who actually saw Jazmine's stalker is in the hospital barely holding on to his life. Aside from Ethan, we are the only ones left who can claim that the stalker is not existing since we are both close to Jazmine" I said.

"We are the victims here and we only just got the courage to speak up because finally no one is present to threaten us, simple as that" I said.

Ivan brushed his hair and then he looked at me "Cindy are you listening to yourself? How can you think of framing Jazmine in a crime where she is the victim herself?" Ivan asked.

"Then are there any other ways that you can think of? Babe?" I asked as I caress his face.

Ivan was about to speak again when my phone suddnely vibrated "Wait" I said and looked at my phone.

Danica's calling? "Yow what's up? What's with the sudden call?" I asked.

"Bitch, turn on your television" She said.

"Why? Is there something wrong?" I asked and got my controller to open the television.

"Just open it and let's talk later" Danica said and turned off the phone.

I shook my head as the television turns on, but what we saw petrified not only me but Ivan as well. Both of us are shocked because of what we are seeing behind the screen.

Its Jazmine Hale, who is alive, well and smiling.

Jazmine Hale's Point Of View

(The Show)

"Welcome to The Show where we confirm if rumors about our celebrities are true or just mere rumors, its your girl Serena Cassaville and we have here with us our very own miss Jazmine Hale" She said and looked at me with awe.

"Three weeks ago we were all shocked because of her sudden disappearance that in the whole three weeks or miss Jazmine's disappearance, everyone and everything are all in chaos. Her manager was reported dead and her brother was reported as a victim of assault and everyone are all concerned where Miss Jazmine is and if she's okay" She said.

"But miracle really does happen and the woman we thought will never come back is here right infront of us, alive and well" She added and smiled.

"It is a huge pleasure to have you here as our guest miss Jaz, showing up yourself suddenly after disappearing for three weeks is a huge comeback miss Jaz" She said.

I smiled "Yeah" I said and looked at my camera "First of all, I came to apologize to the people around me and to the people who loves me especially my fans who worked and prayed hard for my safe return. I'm sorry that I made you guys worried and thank you for not giving up on me" I said.

"Yes, your fans and family members actually worked hard to find you miss jaz" Serena said and looked at the view counts of the live show.

"Oh my gosh this is unbelievable, looks like all the people in this country are watching to see you come back. Your appearance alone made thousands and millions of our viewers watch our show, I just hope that we're not going to experience a crash. I guess they are all shocked and at the same time glad that you are finally back" Serena said.

I smiled "So miss Jaz, a lot of people are probably curious about your thoughts on the live show yesterday with miss Cindy. We are sure that you are also shocked about the news that after you disappeared for just three weeks, your fiancee and your best friend have already married? What can you say about that miss Jaz?" Serena asked.

This Serena girl really is aiming at Cindy's achilles heels.

I smiled bitterly "Knowing that two people who I trust and cherish the most have betrayed me--- of course I feel betrayed and sad that I want to curse them, I'm just a human anyway. I even thought of possible things to make me understand why they did what they did but I just can't think of any" I said and took a deep sigh.

I smiled "I can't do anything about it anyways because legally and in the eyes of the law, Ivan Seville doesn't really have any responsibilities that he needs to take care off for me. We are just fiancee's and not married anyway" I said and smiled at the camera.

"And to my precious girl Cindy, be happy with that guy and don't live your life with regrets because you see--- A man who once cheated will always cheat again and remember that A man who left his woman because of temptation is nothing but a boy" I said and looked at the show host.

I smiled "Besides, I have more important things to do now and that's to catch the culprit behind the assaulter of my brother and the murdere of my manager. In fact, before I came here, I went to the police station to cooperate with them for Jude and Ethan's case since the authorities believe that the one who murdered Jude and the one who assaulted Ethan is just one person and that's the psychopath who barged into my house before I went missing" I said.

"The assaulter has come to great lengths murdured a person and assaulted my brother just so he can get me and its really getting out of place" I said and stared at my camera.

"Listen, To you who thinks that you are above the law, brace yourself for I will never let you get your way" I added.

The show host nodded and then she smiled awkwardly "Yes, its true that the unidentified suspect who is on the run right now is too dangerous and I know that what happened to you miss Jaz is petrifying that's why we are here to support and fight with you and since you're back, its actually a good news that the police operation will resume" She said.

I nodded "Since I already came back, I swear that the suspect will regret that he messed up with me. I will bring whoever he is down under the name of justice and law" I said and smiled.

"B-but miss Jaz, I believe many are curious as to where were you this past three weeks and why didn't you showed up when everything is in chaos?" She asked.

 I took a deep sigh before speaking to look more pitiful "Actually, I injured my head three weeks ago. I was lucky that I was able to escape from the suspect while Jude died for me. While I run for my life in the mountains, I fell on a cliff and when I woke up, three weeks has already passed. I immediately ran here the moment I woke up and when I got here---- my world has collapsed already" I said and bit my lower lip.

"My family is already in the hospital, one is sick and one was assaulted and the man I thought would lead the search is already married to my bestfriend and what's worst? The psychopath who did this to me, killed my most trusted manager and assaulted my brother is somehere out there laughing at me instead of regretting what he did" I said as I crack my voice and then drops of tears started to run from my eyes.

I'm glad I'm an actress.

The show host bit her loer lip maybe feeling pitiful towards me "Yo suffered so much miss Jaz and we're sorry for the sufferings that you had to endure but now that you're here, we promise to fight with you for justice" She said.

I smiled "I feel assured then, thank you" I said.

These hypocrites, acting concerned and all for me when they heard my story but they don't really care and they just want the drama that's why they are here. They just want another scandal to raise.

Its okay, their hypocritical concern is benefitting me anyway. For now, I just need to earn the public's favor to bring down Ivan and Cindy, they will be my first target before I aim my bullet to that mad psychopath.

===============

"Nice acting Jaz, no wonder you are an actress" Luxxe said as she sits down the chair infront of me.

Luxxe is currently at my condo right now, she came here after watching the live show I did yesterday. I took a deep sigh and looked at her "What do you mean?" I asked.

Luxxe smiled sarcastically "Come on Jaz, don't act like we were never friends" She said.

"You will bring the suspect down under the name of justice and law? And what? Be happy with him? Jaz I may not be your best friend like Cindy but I am still your friend and I know the real words behind those idealistic and hypocritic words that you said earlier in the live show" Luxxe said.

I looked at her but I did not speak "As your friend, at most I know how manipulative you really are Jaz" Luxxe said.

"And?" I asked.

"What are you planning? Your real plan. Because I know that cooperating with the police is just a cover up for that plan of yours" Luxxe said.

I chuckled and then I crossed my legs "Will you help me if I tell you?" I asked.

Luxxe stared at me and then she smirked "So you really do have a plan? Did you intentionally did that live show to earn the public's trust?" Luxxe said while staring at me.

"Well you did succeed since Cindy and Ivan's names are also in the real time search ranking right now having your name on top. There are also a lot of articles published questioning Cindy and Ivan's intentions right now. Many are saying that there's a huge possibility that it was Cindy and Ivan who oredered to assault and kill you in the mountains so that they can get married" Luxxe said and took a deep sigh.

"And because of that, the fans are in rage and making a petition to remove them in current and future projects that they have right now" Luxxe said.

"Ivan will lose a lot here since he's doing two series and a concert, I guess all of their projects will be cancelled because of that single stream you did earlier" Luxxe added as she stare at me.

I chuckled "Then everything is going according to plan. Don't worry Luxxe, that's not revenge, what I did is my wedding gift for the both of them, I once loved them anyways" I said and smiled.

"Mad bitch" Luxxe murmured and looked at me.

"And what about that guy named Alex who saved you? What are you planning to do with him? I mean you can't just ignore the fact that that guy who saved you may be Alex Magnus" Luxxe said.

"They even have the same name" Luxxe added.

"But they don't have the same last name, Alex's last name is Delos Reyes, he even showed me his i.d. and it says Alex Delos Reyes there"  I said.

"But you still should confirm, I mean he's the one who saved you anyway. You won't lose anything if you check his identity Jaz" Luxxe said.

I took a deep breath "I'll visit the mountains after my job here Luxxe" I said.

"What job? Cindy and Ivan are already at the tip of your fingers and the police became active in the investigation again because of your appearance. What else do you need to do?" She asked.

"I just want to confirm something" I said.

"Confirm what?" She asked. Before I could even answer Luxxe's question, my door bell rang "He's here" I said and stood up to open the door.

"Jaz!" He said and hugged me.

"Zack" I murmured "You're okay right? Its enough that you're back alive" He said.

I smiled and asked him to come in "Oops I didn't know Luxxe is here" Zack said after seeing Luxxe sitting in the living room.

"Yup I have a lot of things to thank Luxxe for, since she's the one who took good care of Ethan and mom while I was away" I said.

"Yes I actually heard that you are also the one who put them in the VIP room, thanks Luxxe" Zack said and looked at Luxxe as he sits down the couch.

"Of course" Luxxe said and looked at Zack in a cold manner "How did you know when you never visited your own cousin and aunt?" Luxxe asked as she pierce through Zack's eyes.

"How dare you thank me when you never really cared for them in the first place" Luxxe added and then she smiled sarcastically.

Zack laughed awkwardly "Y-you know I'm busy and I was also busy looking for Jazmine and since I know that you are there, I didn't come to visit to focus on finding Jaz" Zack said as he defends himself.

I smiled "Enough guys, we shoudn't be doing this here. What's important is that I came back alive" I said.

Luxxe took a deep sigh and then she looked at me "Since you have a visitor Jaz, I better go" Luxxe said and stood up without even looking at Zack.

I smiled "Sure Luxxe, see you tomorrow" I said and smiled.

Luxxe smiled back and left without excusing herself to Zack, Zack smirked as he watch Luxxe's back leave "Just what in the freaking hell is that woman's problem to me? She's always cold towards me" Zack commented as he glare at Luxxe's back.

I smiled and sat down the couch in front of him "Let her be, I actually asked her once why she hates you and she told me that she once met a perverted psychopath who looks exactly like you when she was a teen ager" I said.

Zack crossed his eyebrows "What?" Zack said in disbelief "Yeah I know its unbelievable, you grew up in Canada in your teenage years and not to mention that you are my cousin. Don't worry, I told Luxxe that it may not be you" I said.

Zack chuckled "But is it really true that she was raped? It could be that she just made the story herself to gain a bit of pity. But what did she say when you told her that its not me?" Zack asked, seems like he's too curious about what Luxxe thinks.

If one is really innocent, he would've asked if she's okay or was the perpetrator arrested but Zack didn't asked that, instead of asking if the suspect was arrested he instead degrade Luxxe's claim and asked about what Luxxe said about him being the suspect like as if he is the real suspect.

I smiled "I know you don't deserve a cold treatment from her since it wasn't you who did that but she still have negative feelings towards you" I said.

"What happened to her anyway? How was she assaulted?" Zack asked.

I smiled bitterly "Her friends invited her to attend a birthday party of someone popular and handsome, when she got there she was drugged and was  brought to a room. In that room, the birthday guy with his friends are waiting to sexually assault her. It was a good thing that Luxxe's friend knew what will happen and reported everything to the police" I said and paused.

"By the time the police got to the scene, the mastermind of the sexual assault was gone together with his friends and all that's left are the ones who were drugged and the ones who are already raped. That time no one was arrested because the perpetrators already left the scene" I added.

"Luxxe almost became a victim of gang rape or worst she may have been dead if her friend did not report that's why she's too aloof towards you since she's being reminded of what happened to her in the past" I added.

Zack chuckled and then he shook his head "I can't believe I'm being accused as a perverted psychopath just because of that. I mean how can she be so sure that it was me? She was drugged and that may be an illussion and maybe she didn't really saw the guy's face, she just want someone to blame for her reckless behaviour back then. It was a club afterall, if she knew what may happen to her, she shouldn't have come" Zack said and chuckled sarcastically.

I looked at him and smiled bitterly, I never said it was a club Zack and not to mention that we met in private once when you came here on your 17th birthday. You were drunk that time telling me that you had a few drinks with Ethan but Ethan that time was at the house covering up for me since I sneaked out just to meet you.

Those lies of yours back then, I didn't know that it was because you almost rape an innocent girl.

I smiled and looked at Zack "Zack, a woman who almost lost her dignity and almost or became a victim of gang rape or rape will never forget such heinous and tragic incident. If a woman will experience such, it will hunt them forever and may eventually ruin them for life" I said.

"A woman will spend her life asking herself and thinking the same thing 'why did it have to happen to them when they didn't even do anything wrong'" I said as I look at Zack.

"For a woman, having to experience rape is like experiencing her own death. Stealing her dignity and reputation is like stealing her life" I added.

Zack smiled awkwardly "Jaz why so serious? I was just joking okay. I mean I'm just frustrated since someone is accusing me of something I never did" Zack said.

I smiled, but you are not innocent because it was really you who almost raped Luxxe and it was also you who led that gang rape on your 17th birthday. Why was I not able to realize and see how evil you really are?

"But why exactly did you asked me to come?" Zack asked.

I looked at him "Why? Are you not concerned and curious about what happened to me? Will you not come if I didn't ask you to come?" I asked.

Zack smiled and then he held my hands "Of course not, are you crazy? You are my closest cousin Jaz, of course I will come to see you its just that I'm really busy these days, I'm sorry" He said as he pinch my hands using his thumb. I smiled and removed his hands from mine.

"Nah I just want to relax a little with you. You see, I'm a little traumatized about what's happening right now. My fiancee and my bestfriend are already married and my family is in the hospital while that psychopath is on the run. I'm just too exhausted right now that I want to run away but I can't because there's a lot of things to fix that's why I want to play golf with you a little" I said and looked at him.

"Good girl, playing golf at a time like this is like a relaxing therapy as well" He said and stood up.

"I'll wait for you at the basement then, go change into your suit while I start the engine" He said.

I nodded "Yup" I said and then he left.

I clenched my fist as I gulp, his hands are full of wounds and his palms have fresh, healing wounds. Its like his wounds are from broken glasses.

Ethan's doctor told me that he was attacked using a glass in his head and was repeatedly whipped by a long hard metal and I suspect that it could be a bat or worse a golf club.

I just need to confirm the weapon Zack may have used to assault my brother. Psychopaths sometimes don't throw out their weapons, instead they use the weapon as a trophy for the evil thing they did.

I just need to see that golf club Zack may have used. I stood up and immediately got out of my unit to go the basement and meet Zack.

I hopped into his car and before he could even start driving I spoke "Zack" I murmured.

"Hmm?" He asked.

"Earlier, when you left my condo I smelled a very similar scent. I smelled the scent of black rose earlier like as if the psychopath who is after me was there watching me and waiting for the perfect time to assault me again. I was too terrified that I was not able to get my equipment" I said.

"What?" Zack said "That's impossible" He added.

Of course you would say that, you are that psychopath afterall and it would drive you crazy the moment you hear that you are not alone and that there is another psychopath who is after me.

"I-- I am too scared Zack, c-can you get it for me?" I said.

Zack took a deep sigh and then he looked at me "Stay here and wait for me" He said and jumped out of his car. I watched his back as he wait for the elevator to come down.

Of course it would hurt your pride knowing that there's another one aside from you especially that you believe that lame line you always say 'Jazmine is just mine'. The moment the elevator went up with Zack in it, I immediately turned away the focus of the dash cam and went to open his trunk.

And I was right, his golf equipment is there together with the golf club he used to assault my brother.

The driver was bent like as if it was intentionally used to beat someone, I immediately got my phone and took a picture of it. I was about to close the trunk when I noticed a piece cloth sticking out from the trunks's mat.

I removed the mat and there I saw the familiar clothes covered in blood and mud, those familiar set of clothes are the set of clothes the murdurer used that night. I can't be wrong, I saw him killing Jude with my own two eyes wearing these set of clothes.

I gulped and immediately took my phone to take a picture of the clothes and then I immediately fixed the mat and golf set. I immediately went back to the passenger's seat and re-adjusted the focus of the dashcam.

I clenched my fist as I see Zack from the rear view mirror walking towards the car. So it was you, it was you all along. The reason why my world collapsed, it was you Zack who has been calling me Just mine.
