It's Friday morning and Lucy decided to stay with her father after going with her new friend Gale on a trip. She wanted to know this man's identity but she was clumsy enough to ask his family name.
She was happy that her father's memory came back after being lost tentatively.
----
Thursday 2 pm
Her phone suddenly rang and she checks it from her bag who was calling her. It's from the hospital's staff.
She swipes the touchscreen button to answer it.
"Yes, hello?" She said while waiting for the staff's response. She's hoping that it's a good one.
Her heart began pounding like a drum that reaches her ears. She's hoping that his father's memory will be back to normal so that he can recall what happened that night. He can tell her what kind of car hit him and if he remembered the person who bumped into him.
"Your father just regained his consciousness." The nurse informed her and Lucy told Gale
After the interrogation, they decided to put Lucy inside the cell.After five minutes..."Miss Mason you have a visitor!" one of the officers knocks on the cell bars and called her.She stays at the station for twenty-four hours already. She didn't eat anything since yesterday and today. They prepared food for her but she didn't touch anything. She lost her appetite since they arrested her like a murderer.They opened the cell door and escorted Lucy to the visitor's room. She saw Gregory sitting with an attorney. She felt relieved that Gregory came to help her.She quickly walked closer and told him what happened."Please help me! Call Kent right now to dismiss the case or else I'll be sent to correctional jail in Muntinlupa. I was framed and you know that?" She holds Gregory's hands.He didn't respond. He didn't make eye contact with her. Lucy stops and she gently take-off her h
Lucy PoV By simply looking at the glass of whiskey on my table, made me forget everything about my disastrous teenage life. My first love and boyfriend dumped me on our graduation day. He went to the states to study and didn't come back even until now. My life is full of thorns and stains. "Waiter, another glass, please!" I called for the third bucket of beer and one bottle of whiskey. After ten years of waiting, my life is still the same. It's better to die drinking than living with regrets. "Here ma'am," the waiter said after serving me. My eyes were heavy and my body feels weary. I gaze tipsy and smile at him. "Thank you" I mumbled. The karaoke bar was filled with loud people. You can find anything here. Minors, adults, married people, widows, the LGBT community, and even singles who were being cursed to be alone forever, and I was one of them.
Ten years agoLucy POVI'm so excited to climb on stage to earn a diploma from our professors. It's graduation day and I can't believe that we are now graduates. I search Kent everywhere but I can't find him. We both dreamt to study business together at Oxford University after we finish high school. I'm super excited to be with him in the dorm. We can have all the time and love for each other and no one will dare to bully me anymore especially some rich students I know.The graduation ceremony is about to start but still no sign of Kent. I took my phone from my bag and dialed his number. I will call him if he was on his way. His phone keeps ringing but no one is answering. I started to think negative things. What if he got into a car accident and his parents didn't know it? I tried to calm down myself. Maybe he's inside the traffic jam.The ceremony is about to end and Kent is still nowhere. What took him so long? The Graduat
Lucy PovI think I was dreaming again. I tried to pull myself together by standing straight and biting my lips. Concentrate and act accordingly like a lady. That's the only thing I can do to calm myself.He keeps staring at me and I think I'm about to lose my mind again. To have sex with him last night isn't enough to put my sanity at a good pace. I tried not to meet his luscious lips and desirable eyes. I felt like he was tearing off my clothes the way his eyes studied my whole body."Are you nervous Miss Mason? You can leave now and drop this job if you won't cooperate with me!" He behaves the same as Mr. Grey in the movie I recently in love with, Fifty Shades of Grey. He was so rude and frigid."No, sir. I need this job! I promise not to let you down!" I beg for him and he just laughed so hard.He stood up and walked around me. My legs are sweating I swear. What if he will suddenly kiss me again and, wait, what am I think
Ten years agoKent POVI'm still longing for Lucy even I'm already engaged to Eloisa. I can't believe that we both betrayed her. We both knew that she was Lucy's best friend but how can she so brazen towards me when I was her friend's boyfriend.I was having a coffee in the lounge of the hotel when I felt a hand wrapping around my neck. I looked back and it was Eloisa." Good morning, babe. You didn't wake me. I'm disappointed." She mumbled after she made her way on her chair in front of me.I put down the coffee on the table and shifted my eyes on her. I smirk."Really? You sleep like dead how can I wake you up?" I told her with sarcasm.She rolled her eyes again at me which I didn't like. She acted like a brat every time we argued about something. She's nothing to Lucy because Lucy acts smart and mature. I wonder how is she doing right now after four years.&nbs
Kent POVEloisa keeps calling me in the middle of the night. I ignored her calls because I want to spend the night with Lucy. Even the alcohol take over my sanity, I still know what I am doing. I can't believe how she waited for me for that long year. Why I was so weak and selfish at that time? I feel guilty and sorry for her. Seeing her resting in my arms while she's beautifully asleep, I can't help but smile. She never changed a bit, still pretty and innocent. The only thing I can't forgive myself for is, I never know that she was still untouched. Yes, Lucy is chaste the first time I bed her.Oh, I forgot my company phone at the house. It's morning and I had to go to meet new applicants who passed in the interview especially my new secretary.I don't intend to wake her. Maybe a letter is nice to greet her when she got up. I am still hoping to meet her again someday. We had a good time together and that's all matters.
Eloisa PoVIt's almost evening but Kent hasn't home yet. This is the first time he came home late in our ten years of marriage. I shook my head and think of our happy moments together. Maybe he had much paperwork to do since he's the one handling our firm. While thinking about my husband, the telephone rings. I took it and put it on my ears." Hello, may I help you?" I asked the person who called me on the other line."Madam, I hope you still remember me?" it's the same voice I last spoke before I and Kent went abroad."Rey? Why you suddenly calling me now? I thought our transaction ends there! Don't call me again! Bye!" I said while keeping lips calm.His chuckles ring in my ears."Are you crazy Madam Eloisa? You paid us half so I called you to get the other half!" he said.My mind is in chaos now. How did he find me and knew my telephone number? This person is a pain in my head. I had no choice
Kent Oliver made his way downstairs with his attache case. He called Ana to check his wife before he goes to work.Eloisa has been undergoing chemotherapy every once a week. To sure that her life is prolonged, this is the only way for her to survive. They went to the states for an advanced treatment but it's too late because the cancer cells have been taken over her normal cells on her body. It's hard to tell when she is going to die." Good morning, sir!" Ana greeted her when she saw him. She was on her way to his wife's room to check her condition."Good morning too, Miss Ana. I'm going now so, please take care of my wife for me, okay?" He said as a good husband.Nurse Ana nods her head and goes on her way to Eloisa's room. Kent skips breakfast since he and Lucy will eat together inside the office. She called him in the early morning that she cooked food for them. Kent can't wait to taste the food of his past girlfriend which turned out to

Gale PoVSo she was Lucy. She was my brother's, first love. He only used and betrayed her. Poor gorgeous lady. How did she end up falling for him? That bastard and brat! Don't worry pretty lady, if you will fall for me, I promise that you won't regret it.They stop at one of the hospitals in town, The Medicare Hospital. I hid from Gregory because I'm sure he will recognize me even we didn't meet for five years. When dad forced me to marry Adriana, actually my late Adriana because she died two years ago with leukemia not long before I met my new girlfriend in the states.I followed them and they stop at room 05. Someone close to her got admitted inside. As far as I recalled, Gregory mentioned that they will check her father. So Lucy's father was hospitalized but why? Is he sick? Did he have an accident?I quickly went to the information desk to check about the patient in room 05. I decided
Ten years agoMarch 03, 2011 (8:00 pm)The AbductionIt was Sunday night and everyone was busy with their plans. After her father left a goodbye letter to her in the hospital, Lucy started to cherish her second life.She just got home from her part-time job as a sales crew at one of the malls in Makati. She lived alone so she didn't eat at her place because she just eats outside.She hears the loud rumbling of thunder in heaven. She felt scared every time she heard it especially when lightning struck houses and trees."Why this place keeps on raining!" She mumbled after getting inside.She heard footsteps a while ago behind her while she was going home but she pretended that she didn't know it. To secure her full security and safety, she called 911 after she reaches home.She strode towards her door to check if there was anyone suspicious but a sigh of relief came on her face when she saw nothin
Stone ResidenceEloisa was pissed because Austin keeps crying. Today is their flight to the United States."Hello, baby, don't cry okay. Mommy will get mad!" She told Austin while giving him his milk bottle.He finally stops crying. She searches for him and she found him outside. He was standing while smoking. Eloisa was surprised to see him smoking again."You're here. I thought you quit that thing?" She asked him.Kent sips the last stick and throws it on the ground. He turned around to see his wife."I just want to relax. Are you ready?" His voice was cold.Eloisa happily wrapped her arms around him."Yes, I'm excited. I just need to pack some things and we're done!" She replied and Kent just stands there like a mannequin.Finally, she let go and went back inside."I'll call you when I'm done, honey, okay!" She told him and went back inside.Ken
Ten years agoRaphael secretly called Mr. Stone to meet him to get the money offered by him for his daughter. After Kent left her, she always staying inside her room. She didn't even eat or talk. It's a tough time for her so her father decided to take the bait.The street was empty like the place looks haunted. No signs of people walking in but only a pile of drums everywhere besides the roadway. This was the address and Rafael was sure of it. A gust of air puffs out from his thin and dry lips. His wrinkles that crossed all over his face became visible as he started to feel frustrated.It's winter and the only jacket he wore was the one his wife gave to him five years ago before she died. The freezing air can still immerse inside your skin. He rubbed both his hands and put them on his mouth to feel the warmth."Where are you, Mr. Stone?" He desperately mumbled with his shivering voice.His trembled hands rea
"Thank you, Atty. Van." Eloisa called the attorney she hired for the signing process a while ago.I went outside the house and stayed in the garden after we got home. I hired a nanny for Austin yesterday who will take care of him. I'm afraid that Kent might hear me."Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." He said and I feel relieved to know it.I looked back to check if Kent looks for me but I guess he's with Austin right now. Of course, he was his father and I am now his mother."Okay, I already sent the money to your bank account. Don't ever call me again, okay?" I warned him."No problem, ma'am. Bye." Atty. Can, the con I hired bid goodbye from the other line.---Eloisa check who called her earlier. When she browses her phone in the call logs, her heart almost raises in fear to see Brian's name. He's one of the thugs she hired ten years ago. She planned to kidnap Lucy and her d
Eloisa furiously got up from their bed and went inside the bathroom. She set a sharp look in the mirror."How dare he still thinks of her after yesterday? That bitch! Why she's still alive? If I ---" I shook my head and shut my mouth.I must forget about it. It was a long time ago and I'm sure her father died that night. I wish that because if he manages to escape from the danger of thick waves and sharks, well he had black magic I guess. No one will know what I did especially Kent. I must forgive him today since he told me that Lucy just called that she accepted my husband's proposal.Our plan succeeded. After the adoption process, we will offer her a big sum of money so that she can have a better life but she can't see or visit her child anymore.I never thought that Lucy is that dense. How can a mother sell a child? I thought we will have a hard time dealing with her but she only eyed for 2 million dollars.She's not wha
Lucy made a huge mistake in her whole life. She fooled herself that Kent loved her and his wife Eloisa was sick. She can't explain what happened this morning. She shifted her gaze lazily at the clock that hangs on the hospital wall and the long arrow struck at six in the evening but there's no sign of Kent visiting her. She got gave birth to their firstborn baby boy but his father didn't care a single inch.She can't give up now. She will fight her claim as the mother of his child. She will do everything to make her child happy.Lucy POVThe creaking sound of the door distracted my deep thoughts. I saw the nurse carrying my baby. Finally, they brought him to me. He's crying so loud."Mommy Lucy, it's time to feed your baby Austin." She said and put my baby in my arms.Tears suddenly rolled down my pale cheeks. To cling my son in my arms made me feel satisfied. He means a lot to me. He's my l
