Chapter 27
Anastashia DECIDED to return home to the Philippines even though it was not really easy for her to do so because she was also afraid of what might happen. Five years have passed. Her son is also four years old. And because she wanted to show her son the country where she grew up, she thought the consequences of her decision would be good."For Owen to see our relatives. We don't always do facetime," said her mom.Over the years, many things have changed in her life. More than that, they are always together as a mother and her daughter."'Mom, what if Arthuro finds out that he has a child with me?" Anastashia asked her mom because that was exactly what she feared would happen.Anastashia knows that even though the Philippines is big, the world is also round, they will meet. But she already had that in mind that she wouldn't let it happen that she would know everything right away. If she could do anything just toChapter 28 "MOMMY, I want ice cream!" Owen requested. He's been teasing her for a while now, so she can't refuse him."Do you really want that, Sweety?" she bowed for them to face each other."Yes. I want it!” Mischievous Owen was jumping up and down."Go ahead! What flavor do you want?” again she asked."I want an apple!" again he squirms."Hey. You're really ugly, Son." Just pinched, she put it on his cheek.Owen grinned big which really gave himself a cuteness. He pulled her towards an ice cream stool.When the son was bought, he was even happier."Thank you, Mommy!" He kissed her cheek and ruffled his hair."You're welcome my Sweety."Anastashia saw some children approaching in their direction. Owen also looked at the children."Hi!" that girl refers to Owen.Anastasia looked at her son. He was also looking at her. She
Chapter 29 Anastashia stopped when Arthuro said that.How much does he love her to follow and look for her in America? But she still didn't lose her anger for him. That might not be rejected by her body. Arthuro is the reason why she lost her father."You're a bad person, Arthuro!" she couldn't stop herself. She wanted to flare up. "Arthuro, I'm staying away because you're a killer!"Arthuro was stunned. Maybe he realized the reason why she walked away."I'm not the killer, Anastasia." Still calm. Anastasia answered quickly. "Because you are the one wo killed! You are the wrong person, Arthuro. do you know that?!” Again in her mind she returned to her memory of how she found out the real reason for her father's death. "You don't deserve my son. You are one to die—”"Michel is the reason!" Arthuro shouted that. She was suddenly afraid. "I was blackmailed by Michel. He just ordered me. If
Chapter 30Before Anastashia turned her back on Michel, she hit her on the cheek again. She also passed Arthuro.“Wait for me, Anastasia!” Arthuro called her but she didn't move. She just walked straight.She opened her car door. She was about to enter but Arthur stopped her."Why?" she asked in surprise, she didn't know why did he stop her?Arthuro sighed. "You shouldn't have done that to Michel."Anastasia was stunned. "And why? Do you think I shouldn't have done that? Arthuro, I'm very angry. I hope it's not yours now." Arthuro let her go."You love Michel? All right, go together. After all you have the same conscience!” she got into the car.She left Arthuro. Her anger still hasn't subsided. When she faced the fake friend, she wanted to hit her against the wall. And until now she still doesn't know why Michel did that."You will be responsible for what you did, Michel!"
Chapter 31 Arthuro did not open his eyes on his own.He is weak. He was about to stand up when suddenly he felt a pain in his stomach so he fell to the ground again. He tried to look at that part of his stomach, something was bleeding in that part. Only then did what happen that night sink into his brain."M-michel!" he said with anger in his voice. It was Michel who shot him and his attention turned to her side. He realized that he was not the only one who was mercilessly shot.He was also alarmed when he saw Anastashia's body lying next to him. He quickly attended to it. But ... Arthuro's world seemed to stop when he held her by the arm."Anastasia!" he said with difficulty. He shook it. He did everything to wake her up but she was disappointed. He couldn't do anything else.Anastasia's body is cold and pale. Arthuro just realized that tears were falling from his eyes. Anastasia was gone, he couldn't bring he
Chapter 32He would revenge for his love, Anastasia. When he was in prison, he set a schedule for their conversation. It would be a private talk."Sir, go to the private room first," said the policeman.He nodded to him and headed to the room he specified. Another policeman was with him.And when he got there, he prepared himself. He sighed even more. The whole room is white. He also saw a CCTV Camera but he ignored it. The important thing now is to fulfill his plan.He waited five minutes. A few moments later it opened. He also stood up to welcome the one who entered.When their eyes met, that was just how surprised he was. He gave her a wide smile."Arthuro?" said Michel in disbelief"It's me, Michel," he replied. The mischievous smile never left his lips. He snorted. "How did you find me out? You thought I was dead, didn't you?"The astonishment still hasn't disappeared from h
CHAPTER 33 Five years have passed since Anastasia died. And Arthuro was also grieving for her. Not a night goes by that he doesn't think about Anastashia but even so, he has to do what he knows is inhumane. And since Anastashia was no longer in his life, he raised their son Owen alone. He didn't have a hard time because he had a lot of money and could spoil his only child. Although Arthuro is sad since Anastashia's death, he always thinks that it is part of his life and how he will change for the new phase of his life. He is now in the kitchen staring at his cell phone. But only a few minutes later he heard his son's steps. “Dad!” he called even though he hadn't gotten close enough. "What is that, Owen?" he asked immediately.
CHAPTER 34 Arthuro had a sleepless night because of what he thought about being disturbed by the news that Anastashia was seen alive and a few people who even went to her grave saw it. "What happened to me?" he asked himself as he got into the car. Today he will enter the company even though he hasn't slept properly. Even though he may no longer work for the company, he will be rich, but he has a lot to do today and he doesn't want to reveal it. Arthuro could clearly see himself in the mirror how black the corner of his eye was. He couldn't move on about the news. Even more, he believes that Anastashia is real and will appear to him. But even before he was able to maneuver his car, he immediately thought of a step to take so that he could confirm if what happened was real. Arthuro could not deny the fact that he was hoping for the news to be true. Because he really misses An
CHAPTER 35 The next day, Arthuro immediately received a message from Attorney Josh. Even though he hadn't stretched out yet, he immediately stood up when he read that. "Let's talk this afternoon at the address I will give," informed Attorney Josh. "Copy that!" he replied. Arthuro can't wait for what Attorney Josh wants to say. Even if he wanted to know the truth right away, it would be better for him to hear about Anastashia in person. He went to the kitchen to make coffee for himself. While he was drinking coffee, he couldn't forget what happened when he saw clearly with his eyes how Anastashia was shot by Michel. Every time he remembered that incident, he couldn't help but be angry with the woman who was as bad as Satan and crazy. "It's really good that Michel is in a mental health facility," he whispered to himself. Arthuro really made a way to prevent Michel from going
CHAPTER 90 WHEN Owen finished taking a shower, they immediately went to the kitchen. She found Arthuro having coffee. "Good morning, Owen!" he happily congratulates their son. Owen immediately ran to Arthuro. He also immediately hugged. "Mommy told me that you had a surprise for me," he informed. Arthuro looked at her while she was still smiling. She also grinned. “I just couldn't help myself. And then he will know," she promised. "What your mommy said is true, son. But later you will know what it is. Your birthday celebration is tomorrow afternoon," he informed. She just smiled as she looked at the father and son. As she stared at them, she also noticed that Owen was very close to Arthuro. She was jealous but she didn't want to steal Owen's attention either. "I'm excited to see your surprise!" Owen said. Arthuro looked at her again. She was about to speak when suddenly a maid came in and indicated whatever she wanted to say. "Madame, some of your relati
CHAPTER 89 THIS is the day they celebrate Owen's birthday. Owen's 11th birthday. Because Anastashia woke up early, she just waited for her son to wake up. She couldn't quite believe that she had just celebrated his birthday again. "You woke up early, aren't you tired?" Arthuro asked when she woke up. Ever since something happened to her and Arthuro, her trust in him deepened. She knows that it happened too fast but that's okay because they can pay more attention to Owen's life. "I'm just excited to congratulate Owen because it's been a few years since I even got to see my son celebrate his birthday. I'm very happy today, Arthuro," she said. Arthuro approached her. He kissed her neck. She also felt the piercing of his penis in the anal part of her body. "We can't have sex," she said. Arthuro laughed softly. "We will not do that because we will be preparing for Owen's birthday," he explained. She faced Arthuro. "I have so many sins against both of you, Arthuro. I d
CHAPTER 88 AFTER Anastashia took a bath, as soon as she opened the bathroom door, Arthuro's bare and naked body was immediately revealed to her. Her eyes widened and she couldn't believe what she saw. "A-Arthuro," she stammered at his name. Her eyes turned to the bed but Owen was no longer there and the door was also closed. "What are you doing here?" she asked. But she also thought that Arthuro would also take a bath. But she couldn't move her body especially when her eyes suddenly fell on his penis. Arthuro's masculinity was stiff as if he was shooting at her. She immediately looked away. At that time, her whole body was heating up. She also waited for Arthuro to speak but he just smiled and already knew what was going to happen. "A-Are you going to take a shower?" she stammered again. Arthuro just nodded. His smile still hasn't disappeared. She took a step but Arthuro blocked her.
CHAPTER 87 UNTIL Anastashia wakes up, she still can't quite believe that she and Arthuro are now in the same house. She couldn't quite imagine that she let her sleep next to her and Owen in the same bed. And now, she can't count how many hours she hasn't slept because she's still wondering if everything that's happening is real. I made a decision. I wish this is right above all the things that I never expected. Whatever the outcome, maybe I'll be ready. She promised herself. She was still staring at the ceiling even though she could hear the roosters crowing. She is also waiting for her son to wake up so that she can prepare food. But suddenly she heard Arthuro's speech. She wanted to look at him but she stopped herself. "W-What are your plans for Owen's birthday?" he asked weakly, not wanting Owen to hear about that. As she hears the question and Anastashia seems to think that they are just a normal family. She didn't answer right away and she knew he was waiting. She
CHAPTER 86 WHILE Anastashia and Owen were going to the gate, Anastashia immediately felt nervous. Even though they were far away, she knew it was Arthuro. What she's worried about is that Arthuro might take Owen. And she was afraid he would do that. "I guess it is your dad," she said sadly. She tightened her grip on Owen's hand as if she let go of his hand, it would never be returned to her. She is also afraid that when Owen is out of her hands, her life will also lose its meaning. "Mom, your hand is shaking," he said suddenly. Even though she hurried to walk, she stopped immediately. She faced her son and looked him in the eye. She knelt down to level her son's eyes. "I'm scared, Owen. Your daddy is here to pick you up," she stammered. She avoided sounding scared. Owen just stared at her. He thinks about what he wants to say. But before he cou
CHAPTER 85 ANASTASHIA was busy reading letters in Owen's diary app whenever she was not in the room. And she really couldn't believe what she read. She felt guilty. She felt that Owen was very sad in life and she really dreamed of having a complete and happy family. "I am really sorry, Owen," she whispered to herself. A moment later, she read a letter that was too long and really realized her whole personality. Dear Universe, Am I a good son? Why do my mother and father fight each other? Don't they love me and both of them like this? I want to know the answer to those questions. I don't want to be a child without a complete family. I want mommy and daddy to be happy and with me. That's right, we sleep in bed together, talk about something, watch TV series or movies, eat our favorite food, and go to the places we want to go. I want them to come back to eac
CHAPTER 84 A MONTH has passed and Arthuro still doesn't know if the land he is working on is safe. He settled everything about his lies, his part on the secret world, the mafia, or even everyone he owes. And everything felt like he deserved to stop all his connections. That's exactly what Owen wanted. Because he read the letters in his journal on the diary app. He couldn't have imagined that Owen could have written all that before. He had read that a long time ago but since he had planned to cut off all his connections, he felt better. And now, he is in a new house that he knows is far away from whatever the secret world will do to him. He believed that Jacob Escostes had a say in what he did. He handed over the flash drive. He is no longer behind in the secret world and the mafia. In fact, it's all over. But even so, she is still sad because Owen is not by her side. "Brother, aren't you leaving the house?" a
CHAPTER 83 A MONTH ago, the wind seemed to have changed. Everything felt like a safe place for Anastashia and Owen. For a month they did nothing but enjoy themselves inside the hacienda. Her hacienda is big and Anastashia is really lucky because her hacienda covers a lot of scenery. "Mom, we're going back to the river tomorrow, huh?" Owen promised. They had just come from the river. A beautiful river that they had just discovered. From the look on Owen's face, she knew she was very pleased. Just yesterday they went to the chicken coop, pig farm, and orchard to see how they were doing. Since Owen was still wet, Anastashia held the child. "We are going to the tree house that Mang Franko and I built. They said it was over and we would stay there for a day. Let's read there, sing, and eat. Let's just enjoy it there," she informed him. She could see the satisfaction on h
CHAPTER 82 Anastashia RETURNED IMMEDIATELY to the hacienda bought in Cagayan de Oro. An unknown mansion that she knew was safe from the secret world. What is important now is the condition of her son. She must put it in a place where the powerful higher ups in the secret world will not immediately find out. While she was still on the plane, Arthuro's reaction came back to her memory when she saw him fighting against Michel's subordinate. "Mom, do dad will be coming next to us?" Owen asked. She looked at him from the side. She can't lie to her son. "He won't, Owen. Your daddy is going to take care of something that I don't think you can have in his power. You will be safer if you are with me. Do you understand me?” she explained him. She knows her son is sad because of what happened. She will also put it in mental consulting because she can't be complacent. She knew
