Doris, please. Kerry is genuinely worried about Angela. She was held against her will and tortured by Antonio. She’s desperate to find her sister”. Courtney replied. Another silence came from Doris's end. Courtney slapped her forehead in frustration. “Are you still there, please this is important, we are all worried about Angela”. When Doris spoke again, her voice was skeptical. "And why should I believe that from a Montero? Kerry has always been trouble to Angela, she is a mother yet she carelessly messes around with anything in pants and even ignores her own babies, Kerry is bad news. I don't know what she told you but she is not a good sister to Angela, she never was." Courtney took a deep breath. "I understand your feelings, Doris. But Kerry is here with us, and she's changed. She is worried and she needs your help, if you know where Angela is, please do tell us.. you will be rewarded handsomely… and I promise Antonio won't know of this" “Fine”. Doris snapped. “Fine?” Courtney asked, a bit relieved. There was a long pause on the other end, Courtney’s relief was short-lived as Doris’s voice came back cold. “I want to talk to Kerry. Put her on the phone.” Courtney hesitated, she then nodded and returned to Kerry's bedside. “She wants to speak with you.” Courtney whispered, handing her the phone. Kerry took the phone with trembling hands, her voice tentative. “Doris, it’s Kerry..I am so sorry..I am the worst…” Doris's tone came sharper and harsher than when she talked with Courtney. “Skip the trash, what do you want, Kerry? You care now, after all this time? After Angela, your brother and the girls have disappeared? You are getting mixed with the Monteros too? How long will you keep causing problems to Angela?” Kerry swallowed hard, tears brimming in her eyes “Doris, I know you have every right to be angry with me. I’ve made mistakes, and I’m truly sorry. But I’m telling you the truth. I was held against my will by Antonio and tortured. I’ve changed, Doris. I swear I have.” There was a bitter laugh on the other end. “Changed, have you? Interesting. And now you expect me to believe you?” Kerry's voice cracked. “Yes, I do. Because I love my sister, my brother and my babies. I want to find them as much as you do. Please, Doris. I need your help, if you know where they are… tell me and my mind will be at rest.” The line was silent for a few moments. Kerry fought back tears. “Please, Doris. If you know anything, please tell me. I’m begging you.” “Unfortunately I don’t know anything, Kerry. Angela didn’t tell me where she was going, and I haven’t heard from her since she disappeared. I am also worried about her” Kerry’s heart sank, she covered her mouth in a loud gasp. “What?! It can't be true..No it can't be…”. “Well it is, I hope you are happy now, you can do as you wish and there's no Angela to lecture you on what's right and wrong anymore”. Doris said curtly. “And even if I did know, I’m sure I’d never share it with you.” Kerry closed her eyes and broke into tears, as her tears flushed down her face. Doris’s voice remained cold. “Goodbye, Kerry.” The line went dead. Kerry handed the phone back to Courtney and covered herself up with the bedsheet weeping. Grandma Elizabeth and Courtney looked at her pitifully. “I guess the friend says she doesn’t know anything. Diana had Angela.” Courtney whispered. “Kerry, please put yourself together..”. Grandma Elizabeth said and placed a comforting hand on her. *** AT DORIS'S PLACE. Doris ended the call and returned to the living room where Angela was waiting impatiently, curious about the call. "Who was that?" Angela asked, her voice filled with concern. Doris turned to her, her expression a mix of frustration and reluctance. "It was Kerry. She called asking about you." Angela's eyes widened in shock. "Kerry? What did she say?" "She was begging for information," Doris said bitterly. "Claimed she was worried about you, Jace and the girls, that she’s changed, and that she was held against her will and tortured by Antonio”. Angela’s face softened with a mix of sadness and worry. "Antonio..had her captured? ….And what did you tell her?" Doris dropped on the couch, crossed her arms with a tight frown, her anger simmering. "I told her I didn’t know anything, that I am also worried about you. And even if I know where you are, I wasn't sure I'd share it with her." Angela sighed with a mix of emotions swirling inside her. She wondered how worried Kerry must be after hearing that from Doris. Doris is the only one Kerry knew that could give her a little bit of hope about Angela. "Doris, I appreciate you trying to protect me, but maybe Kerry really has changed. And if she's been through something terrible..." Doris shook her head and interrupted. "Angela, you can’t just forgive her like that. She’s caused so much trouble for you, she is one of the reasons you are in this Montero's mess now, will her apology bring Jace back?" Angela eyes well up after that last statement. “I am sorry I was stupid to say it like that”. Angela sniffed trying to hold back her tears. “You don't have to apologize Doris, you said the truth ..Jace is dead and can't come back”. Just Doris wanted to reply to her, but the quiet night was abruptly shattered by the roar of car engines. A convoy of sleek, black cars drove into the compound, headlights cutting through the darkness. “What the heck?” Doris whispered and peeked through the curtains. Her eyes widened in shock. "It's Antonio," she whispered, her voice tinged with a mix of fear and panic. "He's here?” Angela whispered back as her heart pounded heavily in nervousness. Doris nodded and gazed back at her. “How the hell did he find out my hometown's location and by this time of the night?” Angela's eyes widened in alarm. "What do we do?”
