Ricardo
You didn't expect to see me, did you?
It's me. The creator of that monster you call perfect.
And not. Perfect me!
«My son. My best project. He will become what I couldn't, so as not to let himself be trampled by anyone. Dominick, wake up and become a source of pride for your father.»
He was the best piece for my perfect plan. Stick me in their heads to destroy them, him, Hanler. It was all my idea, I was already in his head, alive, awake.
My son today believes that he is a monster, that he was the one who killed the woman he loves so much, in his magical world. He is simply seeing what I want him to see so that he suffers for life.
This is where my new son begins. The one I always wanted him to become. The monster I became.
His brother couldn't find out because it would ruin my plans, he wasn't as unique as Dom. He would never have been so subtle. Dom ended up in the deep end because he believed me. I just wanted it to end like this. Destroyed, like I finished it.
Dominick never killed anyone. They were all mental ideas that I created for him to put an end to him. Dominick couldn't tell the real ending because that's what I decided. That's why I'm going to tell you what really happened.
That day.
July 31, 2021.
Dom would actually take a trip to Barcelona with Emily. They were fully equipped with their young son Derian, who had been born four years earlier. The little boy was born on May 27, 2018. Dom, being so unstable and fantasizing about what I made him see, was killing people for me in my bunker, the only legacy I had left.
Dominick did kill Kath, and several other people who were trapped in that bunker. I caused Dominick to feel mentally satisfied with everything I was doing. And the day he went on vacation, when his brother stayed home to enjoy with the couple he had met a few months ago, Dom left one afternoon at 2:32 p.m., when they were on their way to that place.
—Daddy, how did you and mom meet? —the little boy asked, very curious.
—Your mom and I were always made for each other.
—Mmm, I don't understand daddy, can you explain to me?
And when they were almost a hundred kilometers away from their family area, it was already 7:22 p.m. and Dom received a call. —Help us... have... murdered your brother. He... turned himself in... because they were looking for you.
It was the voice of the girl who would be with Adam, she was dying in loud screams. Someone had been with them and murdered them. Dom heard that and heard my voice, repeating it over and over again.
«Dominick... do it»
He got out of control. He lost control of his body and the car which collided forcefully with another that hit him face to face. His nightmare had begun. He only remembers hearing his son's scream say. —PAPAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Dom. He is currently in a mental hospital, where he was admitted for having accused himself of having murdered his wife and son. He said he killed his brother because I had organized everything. Controlling my son's head in the form of trauma was my master plan.
I always said it.
Dom is just a nuisance in life. It's very weak. He's useless and the only thing he was really good at was taking down himself.
Did it all end that easily? Just like that?
Yeah. I won.
You were so arrogant in your beliefs... I controlled Hanler to convince himself that he was a woman, a girl. He was just another of my toys that I used to really feel like a god.
Hanler, Dom, and you. They were toys of mine that I used to mentally destroy. That's the only truth.
Dominick is admitted to a place where no one will know about him. His friends made their lives and everything is now on the right track. Where I had to be again and again.
The patient created three graves around the psychiatric hospital. One said Emily. Another said Derian and the last, the name of his brother, Adam.
To those who, in some way, he believed dead.
Whom I visited many times a week. Dominick completely lost his mind, fantasizing that only he was alive, Dominick forgot what became of his best friend. What happened to Erik, his second love, Steven. Dom had forgotten everything he ever experienced.
I had taken care of it.
13 months later...
He was looking at a mental photo that had been created of her. Locked in his room, reinforced with great security. The boy began to express himself, while speaking to himself.
Hello love, how did you wake up? I'm having a great day, I bought those clothes you told me you wanted for our anniversary. It turned out great. How did you know I would look so good? Heh heh. Hey, I got promoted at work.
I promised you I would try hard and notice I'm doing it, are you proud of me?
I bought our beach house in Marbella as you wanted, when you return we will spend a whole year there if you like. Hey, I also went to see our son, he told me he wants to see me again, obviously I want to see them too...
Today I went to leave you flowers at the cemetery, I have been talking to you for hours and hours... I would love for you to answer me, this is killing me, destroying me, I would just like to see you for just a few minutes... I can't stand this anymore, I hope I can see you soon... Emily Perez. I love you, and you will always be that woman of my life.
Do you know that I never had one of those attacks again? And I feel horrible, because I know that this is what ended everything beautiful I had created. I have tried to get through every second but I still see you, every night when you come to talk to me, when Derian calls me and I answer him; when I go to the bar to get drunk to try to forget, but that's when I see you the most. When there are days when it rains and yet I am in front of your grave waiting for you to return, for this to be a lie, I still want to believe that you will return, I don't want to end it... We still have a lot to live... Emily, please come back, hey, the house feels lonely without you two.
There are days when I go out on my motorcycle and I would just like to accelerate until something takes me to where you are. But I know well that you would not agree with me, please, I can't stand it anymore, let me die.

Only mental states that I created in him came through his head. But he never smiled again, he never again was that boy, in this case, that man, who had so much to live for.
Unconsciously he never stopped thinking about her. He never stopped feeling guilty for killing her. Terrifying again and again watching her die.
Living an eternal loop. Until the day of death came. Dominick never stopped trying to protect Emily and feeling love for her. Because she was still in his heart. Even if what was left of him was just an empty shell.
He clung to her because his inner self knew he had fallen in love. Dominick could truly love, only he had already been blinded, he had already lost his humanity. The one I had taken from him.
Emily, Ethan and Mia showed him the loyalty he never saw, which is why he never wanted to be separated from them. No matter how hard I tried.
Dom fought more than anyone else with himself to make those around him happy. They saw him, although he always believed not, he was more than enough, a warrior, who fought with everything in his power to be free from their storm.
That, despite not having achieved it, their attempts make you understand that you should never give up to fulfill your dreams, even if a loved one dies, even if they destroy your soul, shows that you are someone who can get up despite having fallen.
That's why you were my favorite, Dom.
Because you would bring a message to people who need it. Even if his hatred towards me ended up dismissing you.
There is still a truth to discover.
A point where the entire curse is broken.
Where it all begins. Once again.
The mistake they never made will destroy them one by one. You will find them.
But remember.
I won, I cheated, but I won and neither you nor anyone else could help it. And I was always here by your side, and you didn't understand it, that your fears and your hatred only strengthened me.
You are as guilty as me.
That's why I hate you.
