Chapter: Chapter 80: The EndMichaela's Point of View Hindi ako makakilos nang marinig ang sinabi ng aking anak at biglang yumakap kay Rafael. Halatang nagulat siya sa narinig at nalito. Mabilis ko hinila si Raffy at pinapasok sa loob ng bahay. Akmang susundan ko ang bata ng tinawag ako ni Rafael. Pilit ako nakikiusap sa kanya na hayaan na niya si ate Diane pero mukhang mabibigo ako. Huminga ako ng malalim at lumuhod sa harap niya upang makiusap pero hinila niya ako patayo. Bago pa niya ako mayakap biglang dumating si Matt at si ate Diane ay yumuko sa harap niya. "Kung anong magiging hatol sa akin tatanggapin ko, Rafael. Marami akong naging kasalanan kay Michaela… at kinausap ko na siya tungkol dito." Sabi ni ate Diane sa pagitan ng mga hikbi niya. Sinalubong niya ang mga matatalim na tingin ni Rafael. "Minahal ko rin nang sobra si James. Patawad kong naging mahina ako at nahulog sa patibong ni Mackenzie." Hindi kumibo si Rafael pero hinawakan siya sa braso ni Matt. "What are you doing here?" Naiirita na sabi

Chapter: Chapter 79: Revenge or LoveRafael's Point of ViewPatuloy ako sa pagtakbo at hindi alam kung saan ako dadalhin ng mga paa ko. Matapos kong marinig ang mga salitang iyon kay Matt para akong nabunutan ng tinik. Napahinto lang ako ng maalala ang bata, bumigat na naman ang kalooban ko. Tinanaw ko ang villa. Bakit nga ba siya nandito? Sino ba talaga ang batang iyon? Mabagal akong naglakad palapit at tumapat sa gate. Tinanaw ko ang bintana. May mga nagtatawanan sa taas at may boses lalaki rin. Hindi nga ako trinaydor ni Matt pero hindi pa rin maikakaila na may anak na siya. Nahilamos ko ang palad ko sa mukha ko at tumalikod."Sino po kayo?" Napalingon ako sa matinis na boses ng batang lalaki. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa nakita ko. Nagimbal ako ng makita ang mga mata niya na hugis oval at ang perpektong hugis ng mukha niya. Para kong nakikita ang sarili ko noong bata pa ko. Lumunok ako ng ilang ulit at hindi ko mahanap ang tamang salita. Nananaginip ba ko? Kumurap ako ng ilang ulit at ginaya naman ako ng bata. Lumapit

Chapter: Chapter 78: TraitorRafael's Point of ViewFive years have passed, but the pain in my chest keeps nagging me to find her—the woman who stole my heart. I planned my revenge until I succeeded in abducting her, but in turn out, I fell for her. Sino ka nga ba talaga Michaela Clementon? Hindi ako makapaniwala na totoo lahat ng sinabi niya. Matapos ng may mangyari sa amin five years ago doon ako kinutuban na hindi nga talaga siya si Diane pero wala pa rin akong lakas ng loob harapin ang katotohanan. Pinili kong tumakas pero hanggang ngayon hinahabol pa rin ako ng katotohanan. Nakatanggap ako ng mensahe sa isang business partner ko sa Pilipinas na nahuli na raw si Mackenzie Cruz at kailangan kong umuwi upang sampahan siya ng kaso pagpatay sa kuya ko. Sa wakas makakamit ko na rin ang tagumpay ngunit nagimbal akong makita ang larawan na kasama niya si Diane. She is not the woman I love. The Diane in the picture has long blonde hair with a spoiled brat aura, and the woman I know has an innocent look with gleaming

Chapter: Chapter 77: All for my little angelYumuko ako at nagmamakaawa kay Macky at ate Diane. "Please, huwag niyong idamay ang anak ko." Pakiusap ko sa kanila. Ngumisi si Macky at tinitigan si Raffy. Akmang lalapitan niya ito ng biglang kinagat ni Raffy ang lalaking may hawak sa kanya at nabitawan siya. Mabilis siyang tumakbo pero si Macky hinila niya ang baril sa tagiliran ng lalaking kasama niya. Hindi na ko nagdalawang isip pa at sinipa sa maselang bahagi ang lalaki may hawak sakin at tumakbo kay Raffy. Kasabay noon ang lakas ng putok ng baril at unti-unting lumabo ang aking paningin. "M-Mommy!" Umalingawngaw ang iyak ni Raffy sa garden at mabilis na dumating ang mga magulang ko. Bago ko pa makita ang buong pangyayari tuluyan nang bumigat ang talukap ng mga mata ko. I can give all for my little angel, even my life; I can surrender it for his safety. —Mabigat ang katawan ko ng magising ako. Lahat sa paligid ay puro puti at naramdaman ang maliit na ulo na nakadagan sa tiyan ko. Pagyuko ko si Raffy pala ang natutulog sa ta

Chapter: Chapter 76: DangerHindi ako makatingin ng diretso kay ate Diane. Mula ng pagdating niya kagabi hindi na siya umalis. Buti na lang mahaba ang pasensya ni mama at hindi siya pinapatulan pero si papa mukhang punung-puno na."Ano ba talagang ipinunta mo rito?" tanong niya kay ate Diane habang tahimik kaming nag-aagahan sa dining room. "Bakit Pa, bawal na akong pumunta sa inyo?" Tumawa siya na ikinagulat ni Raffy at yumakap sakin. Tinaasan siya ng kilay ni Diane. "Hello little kid, you must be Raffy. Alam mo bang kamukhang-kamukha mo ang mga Jones?" Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa sinabi niya pero mas lalo akong nagulat ng makita siyang naluluha na para bang may dinaramdam. "Alis na po ako." Biglang sabi niya at diretsong lumabas ng pinto. "Mukha may problema siya, hon." Sabi ni mama kay papa. Tumikhim lang si papa at umiling. Bumuntong hininga ako habang pinagmasdan si Raffy. Wala ngang duda na kamukha niya si Rafael. "Hayaan na lang natin siya. May tumawag sakin kanina. Naghiwalay na daw sila ng boyfriend n

Chapter: Chapter 75: Five years had passed.Hindi ko ubod akalain na magiging ganito kasaya ang buhay ko. Nakangiti ang mama at papa ko habang nagtatago sa likod ng puno. Akala ko noon hindi na muli silang magkakaayos pero heto ngayon, masaya na muli kami bilang isang buong pamilya. Ngumiti ako hanggang nakita ko ang batang bersyon ni Rafael. Kahit wala na akong narinig tungkol sa kanya umaasa pa rin akong balang araw makikita niya ang anak namin."Granny, I can see you," Matunog na tawa ang binitawan ng aking anak na si Raffaello. Umiling ako. Kung gaano kasungit si Rafael ganon naman ang kabaligtaran ng anak namin. Masayahin siya pero sobrang pilyo. "Mommy! I caught lolo and lola," Masaya niyang sabi habang tumatakbo papunta sakin. Ngumiti ako at niyakap siya."Are you hungry?" Tumango siya. "I want fried chicken!" sigaw niya habang lumulundag."Nakakapagod nang makipaglaro sa apo natin ngayon," bulong ng papa ko sa mama ko pero rinig namin ang mga reklamo niya."Lolo!" maktol sabi ni Raffaello. "Raffy, don't shout to your

Chapter: Chapter 65: HarmonyEliana stood in the silence of the office, the hum of the fluorescent lights above now the only sound filling her senses. Her fingers hovered over the trash can by the door, her mind still racing from the strange events of the morning—The man she had seen in the hallway. It had been the oddest sensation, her senses had stretched far beyond what they should have been. She could feel every vibration, and the shift of air, as though the walls were alive. It is unusual—like she is dreaming. Her abilities began to get stronger and she might get lost and harm people. She shakes her body, trying to calm herself.As she glanced at the metal lid of the trash can, something caught her eye. It was a simple object, nothing out of the ordinary in the grand scheme of things, but there was something different now about her eyes tracking the lines of the metal. Her pulse quickened as her vision sharpened, the

Chapter: Chapter 64: New SurroundingsEliana was so shocked to see the big brown wolf face to face. She can’t move until Gonzalo hits it on the back. The wolf growled so loud that pierced Eliana’s ears. She gets up and does not know where her strength came from. She did not think twice and ran as fast as she could. Unexpectedly, she stumbled on the tree trunk on the grass. She tried to resume her momentum to run but she saw dripping blood on her legs. She screamed in fear until she passed out.Gonzalo stared at the brown eyes of the wolves in front of him. The big brown wolf growled so loud and turned around. Gonzalo did not waste time and carried Eliana. He touched her forehead and whispered, “Everything will be alright. Rest and forget these things.”—Eliana stood frozen in the middle of the office, the air a

Chapter: Chapter 63: RegretEliana's feet slid into the dirt, and she breathed in quick, harsh bursts. The storm raged around her, yet the noise didn't drown her out, driving her heart race. She'd never felt more out of control, and the space between her and Gonzalo seemed like an ocean.She hadn’t meant to come out here. She hadn’t meant to confront him. But now that she was, standing just a few feet from him, the truth hung in the air—heavy, suffocating.Gonzalo’s eyes darted nervously toward the trees. Something stirred in the woods, just beyond the line of rain-soaked branches, a low growl spiked a fear in her bones. She felt the chill on her exposed skin and in her veins, which only served to heighten her resolve to uncover the truth. The storm wasn't the only thing. The tension in the air seemed off for some reason.

Chapter: Chapter 62: Unseen ThreatThe rain hit against the roof, and the constant pouring panicked Eliana’s thoughts, keeping her on edge. The quiet after the explosion still hung heavy in the air. The danger had left, but the unease lingered, settling deep within her chest like a weight she couldn’t bear.She ambled around the room, unable to sit still. Her mind replayed the events from the night before. Gonzalo’s calmness had bothered her, the way he’d brushed off the explosion with such ease, the faint flicker in his eyes when she asked about it. It wasn't just him, though. It was the growl she had heard, the one that made her skin tingle and seemed to rattle the air. The woodland was where it had come from. She was certain. What makes it an animal? She kept asking herself this question until she heard another loud smash outside, followed by the howling wind that seemed to lash through the trees with unnatural ra

Chapter: Chapter 61: DangerEliana tried to escape to the man beside her, but his grip was tight around her arms. Her eyes looked around, desperate to find a way out, but the darkness swallowed everything. Why is it so dark? The question echoed in her mind, her breathing rapid and shallow.A light appeared in the distance, just enough to see the man's face. Then, she takes the chance to escape."Ahhhh!" The sound hit her ears as her leg scraped against something sharp. She winced, pain shooting up her side, and her hands flew to the nearest tree trunk, fingers digging into the rough bark.Her heart pounded in her chest, each beat louder than the last, drowning out all other noise. Clinging to the tree, Eliana struggled to pull herself up, feet scrambling to climb again. Sweat trickled down her brow, mingling with the dirt and blood

Chapter: Chapter 60: MeetEverything seemed the same. Eliana returned to doing chores in exchange for Gonzalo's kindness in caring for her and letting her live in his house. At first, she felt like a robot, performing the same tasks repeatedly.She reached for the broom and started sweeping when she gasped and dropped it.“Are you okay?” Gonzalo asked.Eliana forced a smile and grabbed the broom. A loud growl resounded, but it lasted just a second. “Perhaps you're hungry. Let’s eat.” She nodded, ran out of the kitchen, and began preparing the food. Gonzalo smiled, and they started eating. The silence gnawed at her, making it difficult to chew the pork properly as if she wanted to vomit until Gonzalo’s phone rang. He answered it with a frown.“I have to go,” Gonzalo said, then left. Eliana exhaled deeply and grabbed a glass of water. She thought it would be the last time. She needed to get along with him until she could find a way out.The next day, Gonzalo knocked on her door. She opened it and gawked. Gonzalo
