My hands were shakes as I holds the phone to my ear.Curiosity pushed me to answer the call. It's an unknown number so I answered it earlier. But what I wonder is where did they get my number? Maybe that's because of the information we gave to the police yesterday. They publicized Andrie's missing with my number. Because of what I heard. Fear crept through my entire being. My knees are weak. I shook my head."No!" I whispered terribly.Tears fell from my eyes. Before I knew it, I was crying. My tears fell one after the other."Remember! Don't ever call the police. Because when you do that. You never see your son."My tears just fall. I don't know what to say. I was confused and dizzy. "Listen!""Mommy!" I heard Andrie shouts. He just cries."Son! Andrie!

I feel the pain he is feeling now.I know he is hurting right now and struggling. I know he misses these moments.My tears just fall. I can't because my chest is heavy. I'm just sobbing from crying.I hold 100 million in exchange for his life. Wealth means nothing to me at this moment. All I need is Andrie. Can I get the money if I lose my child? I will take the wealth if I can no longer see Andrie and touch him?I'm now facing the said building where we will meet. Trembling and fear wrapped my legs. my arms are shaking.This place is quiet. Nobody lives. Abandoned building. Even if you shout you will not be heard.My eyes widened when a

She becomes speechless.Clara couldn't believe that Lucas would come to this point. Her eyes widened in surprise."You're a traitor Daniel. I trust you! But I don't think that you are the only one who will betray me. You don't owe me anything." Lucas yelled.Daniel's eyes widened in shock. He couldn't believe he had done that to boss. He was trusted all his life but he became a traitor."I have never been a traitor! But I hope you understand me! I did it because I needed money." What does he mean? He shook his head. Daniel seems to regret what he did. He felt sorry. He slowly pointed the gun at Clara. Daniel became too emotional. What

Iris's POVI rubbed my little eyes. My tears falls endlessly. My eyes are gently bleaching and puffy.I can't believe it at all of a sudden. The man I wanted to be with is now gone. He left me alone. Tears at the memories. He left me and he never came back again. A story full of cheerfulness. But it was replaced by sadness and longing. He is indeed a hero. Ready to fight on war.If love is war?

The cold breeze felt like ice on my skin.A large tent serves as a shelter from the heavy rain. Here we are sheltered so that we don't get wet forever.I couldn't imagine and was not sure where Lucas was lyi
