Chapter 21 - The Lover's Truth: ¿No Puedes Ver Lo Que Significas Para Mí?

"Sir, We've found the location of the main objective: Miss Alderbury. The suspect went to see her." Dantes says.

On the other hand, Sebastian says, "Wait... what?"

"Don't say you don't know. Miss Alderbury is alive." Dantes says with a bored voice.

"What the fu—"

Dantes interrupts Sebastian, "Okay, i get that."

"What are you going to do."

"We'll kidnap you. No. I'm just kidding. OF COURSE WE'RE GOING TO RESCUE YOUR SISTER!"

Sebastian asks with a soft voice, "Why are you talking to me like that, but you talk to Leo like you're a scared cat."

And Dantes rolled his so hard, Sebastian felt that in his veins. "Because I respect him."

"When are you going to barge in?" Asked Sebastian.

"You're asking as of we're robbers. By the way, 11:11."

"Why 11:11?"

Dantes rolls his eyes again, "Because I'll die at 11:10."

"Bro, please don't joke around. This is something serious."

"And you're asking the questions that feels like you're asking 'why is 1 + 1 = 2 not 11?'"

And Hangs up the call.

Time skips, it's 11:05, Eleanor and Janella were sitting blindfolded. The Handler enters, "I'm a bit early today. Our rule number one is what Eleanor?" The Handler leaned forward. The room felt less like a dark room, more like a void.

"No betraying." Eleanor answers.

The Handler nods. Janella wipes the sweat from her forehead.

"Somebody has broken the rule, and that person is going to get punished." The room turns colder. The Handler pulls out the gun,

"Betrayal is not an accident. It's a choice. You worked with Theodore to get Eleanor framed, Janella." And pressed the gun again Janella's head, Eleanor hears it and says, "No, no, no, no! It's— spare Janella!"

The Handler smirks, "Too late."

And when he was about to pull the trigger, Eleanor takes off her blindfold and pushed away the gun. She grabbed Janella shoulder and takes off her blindfold as well, they turned around and saw Leo.

His eyes were cold, and detached, the room went colder.

"Leo is the Handler..." Eleanor says softly, she's processing the information.

Leo's eyes soften, but his hands were gripping the gun tighter and aims at her, "Eleanor? What are you doing here? You worked for... it..."

Eleanor pulls out her 9mm. And aims back him, "I was just doing my job. I'm sorry i had to betray you."

Leo takes a deep breath, "I knew it, Eleanor... from the very first day... I've seen you erasing evidence... I knew I was just a pawn to you..."

"Then why didn't you expose me?" Eleanor asked sharply.

"Because.. I-i-i-i-I-I DON'T KNOW! SOMETHING STOPPED ME EVERYTIME I TRIED THAT. I JUST KNEW YOU WEREN'T GOOD FOR ME. You weren't good for me. I let you lie."

"But what is all this!" Eleanor steps forward and Leo steps back, "I'm diagnosed... I found that out this morning!" The room fell silent. "I'm suffering from DID. But it's late."

Eleanor steps forward and Leo says desperately, "Do not take a step or I'll shoot you." But Eleanor didn't stop, her gun was still aimed at Leo, even though Leo's mind was Leo's, his body control wasn't his...

BANG!

He shot Eleanor's arm.

"ELEANOR!" Leo shouts and dropped beside Eleanor, "I'm sorry... Wait here... just wait here. I'll get the police and the ambulance." He place Eleanor against the wall and rushes out.

Meanwhile,

Outside the building in the Wedunus district, Somebody tapped Dantes' shoulder, Dentes turned and almost screamed but Sebastian Shushed him, "Shh! It's me! Sebastian."

"What are you doing here, Sebastian? And how do you know I'm here?"

"I traced your mobile. When are we breaking in?"

Dentes gives a glance at Sebastian before saying, when the main suspect returns. And Theodore's car returns, he came with a briefcase.

And Dentes signals to attack, the agents breaks into from exits and blocking all the exits, caught Theodore giving money to Megan. The other officers found the secret door and gets Stacey. Theodore shoots an officer while Dantes and Sebastian were entering and went upstairs. Sebastian also followed him up the rooftop, the spanish air was cold.

"Seb... hi..."

Sebastian was 12 feet behind him. And locked the rooftop door from the inside.

"I don't deserve to live. I've kidnapped our sister... my girlfriend left me... my mother uses me... and my father refused me..."

He pressed the gun against his head, "I'm such a terrible brother, I actually never wanted peace... I wanted my rights back... I wanted to be dominant. All I was just a Bastard Heirloom."

Sebastian saw tears rolling down Theodore's eyes, "Theo, no! Theo, we need to talk. Theo, Drop this. We love you, Theo!" Theodore's hand pulled the trigger.

"THEO, NO!" Sebastian shouts.

The police enters breaks the door and surrounded.

Meanwhile

At the bunker, Leo gets the backup team but Eleanor wasn't there Janella also escaped. Because of any lack of proof of Eleanor Williams ever working with him, people named it Leo's Hallucination. The police rescued Stacey safely, Megan was arrested but Megan got her way out by blaming everything on Theodore and his manipulation.

Time skips, Stacey woke up at the hospital, Sebastian, Adrian were already there.

"Where's Theo?" This was the first word coming out of Stacey's mouth.

Sebastian and Adrian exchanged a look and Adrian nods before leaving the room. Sebastian tells the whole investigation story to Stacey.

"And Where's Leo and Eleanor?" Stacey asked.

"He shifted to Russia. And I don't know about... Eleanor..." Sebastian replied.

Stacey nodded and watches Sebastian leaving. She stares at the ceiling and remembers the moment when Alina was killed.

FLASHBACK

When Alina was being killed, Stacey was passing by. She saw Theodore stabbing Alina brutally. And then Theodore noticed her and stopped, he walked up to her and hugged Stacey before saying. "Shh, Stacey. You'll stay quiet. I know you will. You're a good girl." And the maid entered and touched the knife and looked up and saw Alina's dead body and Theodore whispers, "Stacey, scream."

And both of them scream in unison.

PRESENT

"Theo is just like his mother Megan... knows how to frame someone but his mother used this art to frame her own dead son. Rest in Peace, Theo."

"But wait... this doesn't ends here—
