Chapter: Chapter 14I try to stay calm despite the nervousness I feel. After what happened between Miguel and me, I expected her to find a way to talk to me thoroughly. "Ma-ma'am, my arm!" I begged softly when I felt her firm grip on my arm. I don't even notice the broken glasses on the floor. And with just one move by both of us, we could be injured. "You are truly an Angel according to others, and I am the devil, but from now on, I will twist your fate," she said angrily. "No, that's not true, ma'am!" I shook my head to deny the words she had spoken to me. Although, she suddenly sat down and grabbed a broken glass. "Ouch... Ouch..." She moaned loudly as the broken glass sank into her skin. I immediately helped her to remove it. I'm nervous because of the blood leaking from her hand. But what I didn't expect was that she suddenly twisted my hand and hurt her cheek with the broken glass. She screamed loudly for help. I was shocked, holding my face as I never expect that she bear to

Chapter: Chapter 13ARA We arrived at a private resort. I know it's new to me because I'm not used to such places unless good bosses take us. Even though I am not always of such adventures in life, it does not hinder from me to feel the excitement. A beautiful place that I never thought I would be able to be with him. I feel like heaven today because he made me feel free to be happy. Now we are walking the street that is full of flowers blooming around. The surroundings are so colorful that my eyes can't help but be fascinated. “Did you like this place?” Nathan asked. He slowly hugged me from behind. His hugs that wrapped around my waist seemed like a chain that bound my heart more and more so that I could no longer be untied by the warmth of his love. "Indeed babe!" I slowly turned to him. Indescribable joy can be seen in my eyes as my eyes met him face to face. I had the strength to show him my true feelings. My arms moved and slowly wrapped around his neck. He slowly brought his lips

Chapter: Chapter 12ARA I DECIDED to go early, and that's what Crissy and I will talk about. We left at 6:30 am, so I could be even more early in entering. It was only in the evening that I notified Dad so that he would not ask any more questions. He agreed and did not object to Crissy's wishes. I didn't tell him anything about what Crissy was doing to me. "I leave you here and wait for Miguel!" She dropped me off at the corner of the road where Miguel will come to give the things. I just don't understand why I have to be bothered like this if they meet the next day. “Okay ma’am, but if Miguel comes late, I won’t wait for him,” I said. "Fine!"A short answer with a shrugged of her shoulder. She no care feeling, but I'm always hoping she would have. Sporadically I would like to beat myself because of expecting something would not be possible to her. Unless the world turn upside down. I glance at her and got down before she shouted at me, I was left in the middle of the road without even care.

Chapter: Chapter 11ARAAs we went home, my nervous feeling intensified. Joy still asking me since she sensed something bothering me. I can’t tell her in front of my father and Nathan about Crissy to ask me. Although she never said not to tell others, but I don’t really comfortable to let Nathan and my father. I know they will worry about me because Crissy cannot be trusted.As my work started when we arrived at home that time, I secretly talk to joy for assuring what her opinion about Crissy wants. I just act normal like the other's day, but Joy is eager to know what I want to tell.“I'm certain that there is something bothering you. May I know what is it?”“Is not a big deal, but I wanted to hear your opinion about it.”“Then tell me now!”She even raised her hand purposely to show her eagerness, but I need to remain calm, especially Nathan is around. Also, tonight is our meeting. The moment we give ourselves time to talk, hug and kiss. I know this is a big stupidity I did but have nothing to oppose it

Chapter: Chapter 10Benedict felt tension and echoed throughout the dining room table. It was only when his children returned from America that he found out that Crissy were such a disrespectful only child."Crissy, come back!" Benedict's furious shout to the daughter as she walked away."Honey, please come down," Lucia whispered."She's too rude to me!" Benedict was uncontrollably angry at the child's behavior. He raised them full of respect. The only thing he could not understand was why the daughter became greedy even though he was giving life in abundance.Benedict's face slowly blushed with emotional restraint. He closed his eyes and gently calmed himself. Slowly breathe in and out. He’s wife caressing his back, giving him a little calming down.Nathan sighed of frustration. He was unable to understand the sister's behavior, even though he noticed Crissy's

Chapter: Chapter 17GEORGE When I got home after I had delivered Eloise to their home, I was surprised by a car parked outside our house. For a long time, I had no idea what was going on in our home. I was often with Eloise or elsewhere to accomplish our mission. When I entered our gate, a woman immediately came out and greeted me. Her face was familiar, but I couldn’t remember who she was. But my mother secretly smile watching her approach me. "George, I miss you!" She shouted, running towards me. I just stopped and let her get closer to me, so I could see her and get to know her better. I think back at work and friends, but I do not remember a woman with fair skin and blonde hair. She gave me a hug while I just stood there and was still stunned by the absence. My mother also approached as if she were glad to see us. Then, the lady slowly let go of hugging and just smiled, staring at me. "Mom, who is she?" I asked. "Come on son, did you forget Chloe McDaniel, she was your childhood

Chapter: Chapter 16ELOISE There was a deafening silence in the living room as George and I went downstairs. My grip on George's hand tightened toward the sofa. Again, my feet get heavier, but I need to conquer my fear. Aunty Gillie also often glanced at me as we sat in front of them. Her gaze was sharp, even though she said nothing about me. "I'm sorry for what happened earlier!" That’s also what I frequently open my mouth to anyone. I just felt the warmth on my face. I let out a weak breath as I waited for them to speak. “Okay, direct to the point. We all know that you face a trial in life. At first, I was understood of your situation, but lately, everything has become the worst, and we feel the alienation of our son. You can't blame us because we are his parents. Now, what is your plan? ” “Aunty, I’m sorry to all of you, but I promise to return to normal when I have finished my mission. Let me lend George for the time being, and I will voluntarily return him in front of you.” “What if

Chapter: Chapter 15THE past is past, and now they are facing the new day and new plan. Even though George's mother was angry with his preoccupations, he still chose to bring his girlfriend to their home to ask for her blessing before they even sailed to Manila. George knew that it might show Eloise the disgust that his mother had shown him before. He just wanted to kindly let Eloise know the truth, even if his mother didn't like it. The important is that they have a stronger unity despite the cruel fate. They need to survive, they need to fight to achieve freedom to live in peace. "Are you ready?" George asked. “Yeah, but a bit nervous as might happen to us. Also, I’m shy to face your mother. ”She was hesitant, but she had to end their family's suffering. She is even more shame now that she can face George's mother. Likewise, she knew that they had greatly persecuted George's family especially, and the young man focused his attention on them. “Don't think about that. Whatever she says, just d

Chapter: Chapter 14Elena and George rushed to the room to see what happen to Eloise. They both worried by the sound of the voice of Eloise when she shouted. Their eyes widened when they enter the room, where Eloise and their mother were. They noticed a blood dropping from the nose of Ana. Mostly blood is a thick red color liquid that comes from our body, but they wondered why Ana’s blood is different. It showed thick black color and stinky like an iron rust.“Help me, George,” I pleaded, tears running down my cheeks. My hands shaking nonstop and my heart pounding inside my rib cage. I worried about the condition of my mother, just we got home from the hospital and here again adding to my endless issues in my life.George enclosed me in an iron embrace, locking me in the warmth of his body, giving me assurance to calm myself.“Sssshhh…” He said gently while caressing my back. I continue crying against his chest. I couldn’t imagine that ano

Chapter: Chapter 13Occasionally we have unexpected things coming. The planned ones are going awry. No one knows what will happen in the future. That is why it is difficult to hope for something that is not yet certain.Instead of starting what had to be done, Eloise temporarily postponed it when Elena rushed to the hospital. Eloise didn't want to agree because they didn't have the money to pay for her sister's treatment.Elena rushed to a nearby hospital to check on her sister's condition. Eloise worried because this had happened to her sister twice."Elena!" she whispered.Elena was still asleep after the doctor examined her. Eloise's hand trembled as she caressed her sister's cheek.

She is afraid to fall asleep, thinking she will back into a dream in a horrible situation.Elena quietly went back to sleep. The dream only brings Eloise to the event that may have something to do with what she wants to know. As she watched her sister fast asleep, she heard a crack from outside.Even though fear lingered on her, she forced herself to be brave. Eloise got up and listened to carefully because it might have been just George who woke up. She hears footsteps again, but she wonders where it came from.As she listens, the sound she hears also goes away. She dared to peek and slowly opened the door just enough for her head to peek.Inside their small living room, she could see a shadow shaded by light from the moon. Coincid
