The Aftermath After quite some time, I finally made a new update to this story. It's been three months since I published the last part of it. For the sake of those who have not read yet the prequel of this story, I suggest that you may read first the book entitled "**The Mastermind**." This is to understand the flow of this story. https://read.cash/@McJulez/and-it-begins-e17cf846

**Ms. Anna** "One person went missing after an incident that is believed to be a kidnap for ransom, here in Nasipnget Street at seven o'clock in the evening yesterday." I grin as I hear the news on tv. Right now, it becomes a hot topic of the town most especially that they saw the scarf that I intentionally leave there. People have different perspectives and come up with various stories. The good thing is, I am already far from that place. Right after escaping, I immediately get the copy of the research from where I put it and went straight to our hiding place. It is only me and my ex-boyfriend who knows this place, but sadly, he already passed away. As I was planning to what should I do next, I can't stop myself from biting my nails while walking endlessly in a circular motion inside the room. I get frustrated when my phone rings. I am almost there for having an idea, but this notification just ruined the almost perfect moment. "I saw everything. I know where you are right now." That is the message from the text I received just now. In just a snap, I feel like there are lots of eyes that are looking directly at me. I covered my ears as different voices travels through my ears. I am terrified because I do not know the real intention of whoever this stalker is. I keep on dialing the number but I just get the same message, "the subscriber cannot be reached. Please try again later." Out of frustration, I almost break the phone. Fortunately, it falls to my bed. Minutes have passed and I can't stop being anxious. The minutes turned to hours and this made me more anxious until I receive a call. It is from the same number that texted me a while ago. The voice on the other line seemed to be distorted. It sounds like a robot. I asked what he or she needs from me yet I did not get any response. I became furious as I keep on hearing the same message, "nothing important." I don't know what is with it that makes me feel dizzy as it continues to resonate in my mind. Then someone knocked on the door. At first, I do not want to open the door, but when I realized that it is actually the person I am talking to a while ago, I accidentally pushed some of the things around the room. I was even shocked when I saw its reflection on the window. She knocks again and this time, I opened it. My reason is to see the face of this person who is trying to outsmart me. As I open the door, I grabbed something I could use to let this person who is knocking on the door fall down. Just like what I planned, the girl fainted. Then I let her drink one of the tablets which I got from the copy I got. There is one capsule and waited for what will happen next to her. When she get back to reality, she asked me what she's doing there. From that moment, I said to myself that It really worked.
