A/N: Well, this is the last chapter for this sequel. I will be making a triquel which would just be a continuation of this chapter. I apologize for taking forever to update, but here it is! Thanks for all the reviews!

Chapter Thirty-Six

The masked woman sighed and sat lazily on the chair. Her eyes staring up at the dark ceiling. She wiped away her tired eyes and sighed once again before leaning over and rested her head on a long dining table made for twelve people. She let herself close her eyes before she felt her stomach grumbling. She groaned but felt a presence near her as the person set down something in front of the woman with a slight clank. The woman looked before her to see a bowl of chicken noodle soup. She looked over to her left to see her partner, who is also wearing a mask.

"How did it go with that guy?" The one resting her head asked.

"Not well. I never thought he would react the way he did," she answered. The first chuckled dryly and shook her head.

"I never thought Paviche Largo would react like that either, which surprised me," the first said to the second.

The second let out a sigh and then looked over at her partner.

"Enough about them and eat. After all, you are pregnant," The second stated. The first sighed and sat up before pushing it forwards towards herself. She picked up the spoon and sipped on the soup.

"Have you remembered anything at all?" The second asked. The first stopped drinking her soup and looked towards the second. The first shook her head and sighed.

"I can't remember at all, but something about Paviche Largo seems to be familiar to me. I just don't know why. What about you?" The first asked the second in return.

The second looked up at the ceiling for a moment and then looked to the first.

"Unfortunately, I remember everything, yet I wish I didn't." The second stood up and walked away.

The first watched for a moment before she herself sighed and looked at the ceiling. She felt as if her whole being was just an empty shell except for the baby growing inside of her. It was her only reason to feel anything. And with that, she softly smiled.

Paviche Largo sat on the small chair with ropes binding him against it. He started stirring and groaned. He could feel all sorts of aches and he had a hangover from last night. He was about to ease his headache by wanting to massage it with his hand, but he couldn't move his arms. Not understanding why, he opened his eyes to find out. He blinked several times from some sort of bright light hitting his eyes. When his eyes adjusted to the light, he looked around. It was dark and gray in this room. There was one door and one window. Both on opposite sides to each other. There was a long brown table before him. In a way, it looked like one of those interrogation rooms. Pavi's eyes widened, knowing full well this was not his room. He looked around frantically and was about to stand up but found himself being strapped. He looked down to see he was tied to a chair. He gaped and wondered how he had gotten into this situation.

He tried to think about last night and then his eyes widened. He remembered Lina. She was alive, and he was holding her. He was able to touch her and smell her. She felt so real, so alive. He finally had his wish come true to have her in his arms again. But then, someone pulled him away from her. He cried out Lina's name but Lina was getting far from his grasp.

Anger hit him quickly. They took him away from his lover. He had her. She was with him. How could this have happened?

Suddenly, the door to the room creaked open. A person wearing a mask walked into the room. Pavi gulped. He realized he had been kidnapped, and he did not know why.

"See you are awake, Paviche Largo?" The person asked. Pavi looked to her. Her voice, it sounded so much like his Lina, his beloved bella. Though he would like to hear more of her voice, he had pressing matters to concern about.

"What do you want with the Pavi?" Pavi asked, his voice shaking as he spoke. He could not see the woman's facial expression with the mask in the way.

The woman sighed before she walked near him and took out a dagger. Pavi's eyes widened and his heart quickened by the scare. Before he could utter a word, she started closing in on him with her dagger.

"S-stop! Don't hurt the Pavi! If you need the money, the Pavi has a way to give it to you," Pavi stuttered out of fright. His body shivered, the fear of being killed etched into his mind. He was a coward. He didn't want to die even if he wanted to be with his lover. Lina's face flashed into his mind. And before he knew it, he could move his arms again. He looked to the side to see the woman standing up and sitting on the chair in front of him.

"Relax, idiot. I won't kill you," The woman said. Pavi's eyes widened at her statement. Her words. And that voice. Combined together. They sounded just like Lina's as if she is Lina, herself. He stood up and bent over to the table as his hand reached over to her mask. But before he could touch it, the woman caught his hand with her own and squeezed. Pavi screamed in pain before she let go immediately. Pavi grasped his hand and moaned in pain.

"Never try to touch my mask or even touch me, you got that?" The masked woman demanded. Pavi silently nodded, his lips quivering from the pain.

Strong. Just like his Lina's. His thoughts raced through his mind. Is that woman really his bella? Was Lina really alive? Pavi needed to know if it was really her. He didn't want his hope to end up being a false one and crush his heart even further.

Looking at her, his heart started to beat hard and fast against his chest. He couldn't help but hope. He wanted to know. He wanted to see. He wanted to take off that mask and see the bella he ever so loved and missed in front of him. Determined, he hoped that mask would fall.

"What is your name, bella?" Pavi asked.

"Bella? How did you-?" The masked woman stopped speaking suddenly and stood up quickly. She mumbled to herself and the only thing Pavi heard was something about forgetting to activate something. He wondered what she was talking about.

"Are you okay, bella?" He was about to reach out to her but stopped when she spoke.

"I can't take you home anymore," the masked woman told him in a deadly serious tone, "You know what my voice sounds like, and I can't let you go free anymore."

Pavi froze and he looked at the woman in astonishment. He couldn't believe what he heard. Just because he heard her voice, she was going to imprison him in this... place? What kind of situation did he get into?
