Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

“Ellen must be hiding from us! She wants Selena to be in prison. How can she be so ruthless?’ Oliva cried. While crying, she was also throwing profanities around, seemingly as if this was the only way for her to vent her anger on Ellen.

However, Ellen knew nothing about what had happened to the Aguirre Family, nor would Jared let her know about it. He wanted the Aguirres to pay for what they did. Otherwise, they would think of Ellen as a pushover.

The next morning, Ellen sat in Jared’s car and told him that she was going to meet a friend. Initially, Jared wanted to send some guards to protect her, but she refused. Thus, he respected her decision and told her to call him if anything happened.

Then, Ellen went to where her grandma used to stay and discovered it was being demolished. As she walked down the road, she came across a park. She had walked past this park every time during her school years since it was the only road to school.

The park was also where her grandma would always play poker before she passed. Thinking about it, Ellen walked into the park and sat on a bench.

At that moment, she visioned a little girl carrying a backpack while crossing the street. Slowly, the little girl turned into a teenage girl and then a woman.
