Rebecca rose to her feet and went to the door to check who is outside. When she opened the door, it was Graven.
"What take you so long inside?" he asked.
Rebecca smiled. "Laura and I... we're just chatting," she replied casually. She looked over her shoulder and smiled at the woman sitting on the bed. "I'll take my leave. I'll come back later," she told her.
Laura nodded her head. "Okay, see you later," she responded.
She was left alone again in the room, recalling everything Rebecca told her about the twin's history. Graven's fiancee knows everything about him and his twin!
She was surprised that Rebecca has been generous enough in telling her all the info regarding the history of the twins when they were still young.
Rebecca was about to touch the topic regarding Luke's strange illness and death when Graven knocked on the door.
She released a deep sigh.
Does she need to poke further and inquired in detail what is Luke's strange illness? And why it was not cured right on time resulting in his death?
The more she's getting info about the brother's history, the more she was craving for answers to all her questions. Her mind was now fine-tuned to know what exactly happened to Luke. She hopes that Rebecca will continue to tell her more about the events surrounding Luke's death.
Although she's ready now to believe that Luke is already dead, some part of her can't accept the fact that he already passed away five years ago when he just made love with her last month. How to explain that?
Sighing, Laura went inside the bathroom to take a bath, to freshen up her mind and subdue her troubled heart.

Meanwhile, Graven and Rebecca were having a serious conversation on the balcony.
Rebecca looked at Graven in the eyes. "How can you explain Laura's claim? She insisted that she made love with Luke just last month. I don't think the girl was dreaming, fantasizing, or hallucinating? I think she's telling the truth," she said.
Graven sighed deeply.
"Do you want to know what's on my mind?" Rebecca asked.
Graven looked at her. "What's on your mind?" he asked, eyeing her closely.
"I have a feeling and suspicion that you are the one who made love to Laura in physical form, and it was your brother's spirit that controlled your body..." Rebecca said.
Graven raised a brow. "Huh? Why would I do that to my sister-in-law? That's an outrageous claim! I wouldn't do something like that!" he denied.
Rebecca smiled. "You won't do it on your own accord. But did you remember when you disappeared for a few days last month? Horace and I have no idea where to find you. You just disappeared like that!" she said and made a demonstration with a snap of her finger.
"I do... I remembered it!" he admitted.
"And I found you in one of your properties. The housemaid told me in secret that you brought a woman named Laura and have a good time with her. You told me that you have no idea how that woman, whose name is Laura came into your house? Who later happens to be your sister-in-law!" Rebecca reminded him.
"I don't have any idea what I'm doing during that time," Graven confessed.
"If you are telling the truth...could it be that...your brother's Luke's spirit entered your body and controlled your consciousness and act accordingly based on his will? It will lead to my next question. Is your twin really dead or still alive until now?" Rebecca asked.
"He's dead when we put him inside his coffin. We brought him to the cave where he wanted to be left alone. That was his last wish before he died. End of story." Graven recalled.
"Exactly. We knew he's dead. But what if he's still alive? I mean...what if his spirit never leaves this world and continue to live among the living?" Rebecca suggested.
"That's possible," he admitted.
Rebecca looked at the sky. The sun is already shining above. "Did your twin ever mention of a woman dear to his heart? What I'm trying to say is... did he met a woman that he's in love with? Did he fall in love with someone that looks like Laura?"
"Why did you ask that?"
"Your twin brother can't stay in one place. He always travels to different places. There's a possibility that he met some beautiful women out there. Maybe he fancied one or two of them?" Rebecca made another suggestion.
Graven wracked his brain, trying to recall a specific conversation he had with his twin when he was still alive. Ah, he remembered it now! "There are a few times he mentioned of a woman that he likes very much, but he told me that he doesn't have the heart to introduce himself to her," he said.
"Did he mentioned a specific place where he saw that woman and the name?" Rebecca asked.
"Maybe he did or didn't, but I don't pay attention to it during those times. Besides, he doesn't elaborate much. I can't remember if he told me the name of the place, though," he replied.
