Unforgiven Sins

Cinyla’s POV

It was almost past six when the three of us left my room. Sir BenChua has also called his assistants to clean my room. Before we left, I got my suitcase and a small bag because all my valuables were in there.

“I’ll take that.” Sir BenChua asked and took my suitcase.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Josh just looked at me thinking he was going to say something but then just smiled.

“Let’s go!” Josh invited and after the three of us went out, I saw the four bodyguards that Sir BenChua was talking about. His body is big and he is wearing shades.

“Good afternoon, sir!” They greeted at the same time when they saw Sir BenChua come out first.

“Good afternoon! Leo and Kevin, please stay here. Watch until the two maids finish cleaning the inside, okay?”

“Yes sir!” Two men agreed. “Miguel and Manuel, come with us. Watch as we walk to the guest room.” He reminded the two strong men in front of us.

I was surprised because the things I brought were given by Sir BenChua to the two bodyguards who would be with us.

“Allow them to bring your things.”

A few minutes later, two women wearing black maid uniforms arrived. “Good afternoon, sir! We’re going to clean up inside,” they both said.

“Go ahead, angels! Make sure to clean the mess, okay? Close all the windows too. If something goes wrong, let me know. Leo and Kevin will be accompanied by both of you.”

“Noted sir, thank you,” they said together and then bowed.

“We’ll go first. Oh, Leo and Kevin will take care of you. Please be aware and be observant.” The two nodded and the two women were next to them who seemed to be waiting for us to leave before they cleaned up.

We did walk and in the middle where there was an elevator nearby, the five of us entered.

A bodyguard did press the elevator and he chose the 7th floor.

We have arrived where we are going. A large space with classic things two women greeted us and they are wearing white fancy dress uniforms, they bowed and greeted us. “Good morning!” They say hello. We also know the bodyguards who are like bodyguards. This is far from Sir BenChua’s office because the equipment is fancy and only black and white in every part, even the expensive equipment is classic and organized.

“Feel at home to my resort Josh,” he said while my eyes were busy exploring every place we passed.

“Thank you, sir,” he answered politely which made me laugh a little because his answers were not suitable for him. I saw Sir BenChua smile casually. I just saw the beauty of his resort with the 10th-floor building.

“Is it all yours, sir? Since when?” I couldn’t hold back and spoke.

“Well, I think since birth?” This quick answer caused me to stop. “W-What?” I shouted. The maids, staff and even the bodyguard looked at each other. I covered my mouth and apologized to them.

He laughed and his two dimples appeared on his right and left cheeks. “I am serious, Cinyla. I am the only male child in our family and mommy’s brothers and sisters all have female children. So my grandfather said, it will go to me so that I can grow up. I can’t let him down, I didn’t let them down.” We are currently walking until we get on the elevator.

Pressed by a bodyguard at number 9th floor. I looked at his face and I thought he was Manuel, as I remember. But I looked at the two because of their conversation. “I am happy Josh that I finally met you here. I hope you can help us to know who is that damn man! I just don’t understand how he can enter my own resort with his smooth actions. Like damn, who is he!” Sir BenChua explained at length.

While Josh was on my right, who spoke. “Me too sir, this is weird but I know you have a connection or someone sabotaged you. I mean, someone trying to play with you. Not only was I happy, but Cinyla also felt sorry.” He looked at me for a moment as if he wanted to say something.

“Yeah, dude. Stop calling me sir. Well, me too. I just want to know and know who he really is. I killed him!”

“Calm down, dude. We’ll get to know him too,” Josh said as if the closeness of the two of them was shocking and suddenly the elevator opened.

The two bodyguards came out first and then they gave way. It bowed and they looked at us.

“We are here.” They said together.

My eyes widened when I saw that I couldn’t step on my feet, as if the sandals I was wearing had glue on them.

“Nice!” Sir BenChua was supporting me and I didn’t turn around but tried to step forward and look around us.

The decorations are colorful and the furniture seems to be inherited from an ancestor but you can see it as a pet because of its shine.

“This is my xiuxi di difang,” he said as if giving me a puzzle. He uses his language.

“Huh?” I asked as we continued walking.

“I mean ‘Rest’ in English, I’m the only one who can come here because it’s my exclusive place. But because we have to be careful and plan, this is where I thought we’d go to discuss what’s needed. I have my all sources from CCTV in my secret room. You’ll see that later. “I didn’t think he was hiding something like this, he’s really rich. I looked at Josh’s place, he was quiet as we walked inside.

What can it think? Why is he so quiet? I can hardly take my eyes off of him, because he is not like this when we are together. I kept thinking that he was outnumbered or maybe he just wasn’t good at it. But…

He suddenly looked at me so I quickly took my eyes off him. “I am fine Cinyla, I am just familiarizing myself and observing the place,” he explained. I swallowed hard and forced a grin because even though I didn’t ask, he knew right away. He is a detective.

Suddenly a tall man was wearing a formal black polo shirt. I think this is also a guard here but with a high position, he quickly approached Sir BenChua as if whispering something.

“W-what?!” My heart beat faster when he screamed because of the big box the man gave him.

“How? I mean, how did you get something like this into my resort?! Who accepted this, Mr. Lanny?” In his hour now, he is like a lion about to eat, because of his serious face.

“Sorry sir.” The man next to him bowed and showed respect and apologized. “We only saw it outside, we didn’t open it because it was for you. It has your name on it, this is also the paper you need to read,” he added, making Sir BenChua fall silent.

“Okay, Mr Lanny. I am so sorry for yelling at you without your explanation. Just bring this to my office, and we’ll go there.”

“Let’s go.” He ordered us so we followed and behind us was a guard Mr. Lanny was carrying the big red box.

We just go straight until we reach the big office on the right.

“Good morning, sir! and good morning, visitors!” Two women immediately greeted us wearing a formal uniform- slacks and white long sleeves with a red necktie.

“Shiela and Jean, please bring us food and drinks here, thank you.”

“Then add coffee as well.” It followed and the two nodded.

“Anything else, sir?” asked a tall woman with fair skin.

“Nothing,” Sir BenChua answered sparingly and sat down in his big chair in the middle.

It was like we were facing the king now because of our position and the size of the one he was sitting on was more dominant.

As I observed the environment, I noticed that Joshua was quiet.

“Hey? Are you okay?” I touched her and looked her in the eyes but her response was just a forced smile.

Until Sir BenChua placed two large white paper bags on the table. Joshua and I looked at it.

“I am sorry to interrupt your conversation but we need to see this.” The wind blew differently when he spoke as if our conversation with Joshua meant something.

Instead of paying attention, I just gave my attention to what he was doing. He first opened the medium-sized paper bag containing the box.

He took it out and we didn’t expect its contents. “What?!” The three of us were surprised by what we saw because it was just a black envelope.

“I think the person who sent it is crazy. But maybe the box is still full?” Joshua came over and helped Sir BenChua but the first box he opened was empty.

I just sighed and breathed a sigh of relief knowing that it was just an envelope. But Joshua stopped me from reading its content.

HI EVERYONE!

I KNOW ALL OF YOU ARE TRYING TO FIND ME, BUT THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT TIME. TO MY BOY AND GIRL, SEE YOU SOON.

-3AM3

He finished reading the letter but it was silent.

“What happened bro?” Sir Ben Chua asked.

“This letter is coming from your father.”

I sat down and felt as if I had been bathed in cold water because my whole body trembled. What does he mean?

“Huh? Are you serious? My daddy has been gone for a long time. Let me see the paper.” He grabbed the paper from Joshua. My eyes were almost alternating between staring at the two of them. Looking forward to the next event.

“His name is not here. This is just a weird and wrong letter! Troy come here, throw these gifts outside.” He ordered his staff and they nodded and accepted the two paper bags of medium and large size.

“We don’t need to waste our time. We need to know if the man who entered my hotel is real and how he got in.” I feel the sensibility and annoyance of sir. Joshua sat next to me.

“I know how to find him but there are some pieces that connect to both of you that he wants you to figure it out. So I am here to help and I need some evidence and the gifts that you threw away is one of the keys. You shouldn’t have thrown that away!” Joshua’s irritated sentence.

“WHAT? But they are nothing. You saw it, didn’t you? Besides, we’re not sure what the benefits of those gifts are. They’re just garbage!” Sir BenChua answered seriously while looking into Joshua’s eyes. I don’t know if it’s normal or if there is a conflict between the two of them.

“Then get it with your angels and bodyguards! That’s evidence, sir. We’re close to the truth.” Joshua’s last line seemed to be pierced by a sharp needle. I feel everything he says is true.

“How can I believe in you? And by the way, I don’t get your point that everything is connected to Cinyla and me. How can it be?” he asked Joshua busy staring at his paper.

“What are you doing?” Sir BenChua approached him and looked at what he was doing. I also got closer and saw his notes with a code I couldn’t understand.

“I can answer your question when I get the gifts again. This is a serious matter, sir. I am not here just to relax. I am here as a detective to investigate and find the mastermind.”

I interjected and asked him. “Don’t you have any conclusions to reduce the things that are bothering us now, Joshua?”

“It is possible that you are brothers. You may have the same Father,” he said without hesitation.

I stopped and was stunned.

Are we siblings? Is it true that we have one Father?
