Chapter 1"Cindy sweetheart, please stay away from him. He's not good for you." my mom pleaded.Today's my 17th birthday and my mom keeps asking me to break up with my boyfriend, Leo. Great. Just great."Mommy don't do this to me. You know I love him." I answered.I met Leo last year, my friends and I were at the entrance of the Imperial Ice bar. We got faked ID's and the guard won't let us in. He was looking at me intently and said 'NO minors allowed here'. It was my first time going to a bar. It was just a challenge with my friends but we got busted anyway. A bunch of guys came out and there.. I saw Leo. He was wearing a white shirt, leather jacket and black pants. He looked tipsy but then he smiled and waved at me. "Hija you just turned 17 today, how old is he? 25! Oh my God Cindy. If your Dad finds out about this,--""Find out what?" I almost dropped the dress I was holding.My dad walked in the room."Daddy--I got a low score in my history exam last week. Yeah. But don't worry,

Chapter ThreeDad cancelled our office day. He has an emergency in one of his projects. He looked so worried when I saw him running to his car. "Mom what happened?" I asked. I'm all dressed up. "I'm not sure Hija, but I hope it's not serious." My mom held my hand. "Come on, eat your breakfast. Join your brothers."I first saw Calen. He's my 2nd brother. He's reading a book while drinking his chocolate drink. "Hi Ate!" Calvin smiled at me. He's our youngest. "Let's watch spider man?" He jumped out of his chair and ran to me. He hugged my left leg. He's just 3 years old and he loves spider man. "Finish your pancake first baby." I picked him up and put on his chair. "Yummy." He clapped and dug in his plate. Stef texted me. She told me that Steven will go here today to bring my things and Leo's gift that we left at the condo. "Hija do you want French toast?" Mom asked. "No mommy, I'll just have milk." I answered. I tried to call Leo but he's out of coverage. Oh. I forgot his broke

Chapter FourMy head hurts. I'm hearing voices but I can't open my eyes. "How is she doc?" I heard my Daddy's voice. "Her vitals are okay. We have to schedule her brain surgery as soon as possible. We lost a lot of blood." What brain surgery? I can't open my mouth. My throat is so dry. Water. I need water."Do it doc. I can't lose my daughter. Please do your best." I heard my Mom cry. What is happening. Where is Leo? I can't hear his voice. My head hurts again. I'm suddenly sleepy. No. Leo. "Wake up baby. Mommy's here." I wanted too Mom, but I couldn't. "Nurse Vicky, prepare for the surgery room and call an anesthesiologist." I heard the voice say.I don't want to sleep but my mind is spinning. I tried remembering what happened. I remember a car crashed. A terrible one. It was the car that Leo rented for us when we landed in Cebu. That is the last thing that I remember, but where is my boyfriend? Leo. --------------------------------------------"Doc it's been eight days since the

Chapter FiveDad brought three bodyguards with us in the office. I already promised them that I won't run away, but he said it's for our protection. Protection from whom? Am I missing something here? "Cindy, this is Albert Lim, he's my assistant. Albert, I'd like you to meet my only daughter Cindy Anne Lopez." He extended his right hand for a handshake. I accepted it with a smile. I think he's in his mid 20's. He looked nice."Welcome to the company Ms. Cindy." He said while shaking my hand."Thank you Albert." I looked at Dad. "Where's my office?" I asked. He just chuckled. "Albert, please guide Ms. Cindy to her office and tells her job description then follows me to the conference room." He tapped my back and left us in his office."Let's go Ms. Cindy. Please follow me." Albert opened the door. My three bodyguards followed us. Seriously?I rolled my eyes. "Can you guys stay in the lobby? How can I work if you will be following me around?" I crossed my arms. "Ms. Cindy, that's our j

Chapter SixI woke up inside a white room. It's like a small clinic. I'm wearing a hospital gown. "Mom?" I called. She turned her face to look at me."How are you feeling?" She asked. "Where are we? I'm okay. A little bit dizzy." I answered. "In our company's clinic, Albert already called for an ambulance. We will go to the hospital." She said. She pushed aside some strands of hair away from my eyes. "I'm okay Mom. No need to go to the hospital." I said. "You scared us darling. That's why we are so hesitant to tell you what we found out." She caressed my hand. "I'm so sorry Cindy, I wish to take your pain away. I really do." She hugged me tight. Leo looked so different in the pictures. I saw his smile. It can't reach his eyes. I know my Leo. I really need to talk to him. But I don't know how. "Can we just go home? I just like to rest." I said. The clinic door opens. Dad walked in with a girl in a scrub suit. "Cindy you're awake. Thank God." Dad kissed my forehead. "This is nur

Chapter Seven I sat down on the yoga mat, focusing on clearing my mind. Inner peace. I need that now more than ever. I've been doing yoga since my first week here in Cali.I miss my family. I hope they come here soon. I'm living inside this big house for four months now. My body guards are here too. They are five now. Dad hired two american ex army here. They're pretty nice. I closed my eyes and did the lotus position. It helps me calm my brain. I practiced more yoga poses, Eric handed my water when he saw me getting up. "Thanks." I said. "Welcome Ms. Cindy." He responded. I'm used to them now. They're always on my back even if I'm just inside the house. They're like my shadow. I sit on the lounge chair, facing the ocean.His face crossed my mind again. I got up and called Clifford, he's one of my american guards. "Let's practice judo again." I said. I'm always doing things whenever I think of him. For distraction. I don't like thinking of him, even hearing his name. "Sure M

Chapter Eight“Clifford?” I gently pushed his chest. My heart is beating so loud.I saw blood on his arm. “C-clifford, don’t die on me.” I whispered. He’s not moving. I can feel his body weight on me. “I told you to come with me and no one will get hurt. Look what you’ve done.” I heard Leo's cold voice. I turned to him. Eric was laying on the ground too and Leo’s pointing the gun on his head. “Get up now! Or I will kill this one too!” I cried hard. Eric’s not moving too. I checked Clifford’s pulse. He’s still alive.“Cindy get up now!” Leo shouted again.I slowly lay down Clifford. I got up and walked to him. My whole body was trembling in fear. He's still pointing the gun to Eric while extending his hand to me. "Don't hurt h-him." I saw the blood coming out of Eric's leg. "Ms. Cindy, don't go with him." I heard Eric say. He's laying face down. "Oh shut up. My finger is itchy love. Don't make me wait." Leo said and reached for my hand. He pulled me against him. I can smell ci
