Above all, nature can actually be our greatest support system. Imagine, on the verge of dying, a heroic tree that lived for almost a hundred decades lent its body for me to lay on.

I'm still fortunate, then. I should be grateful at least. Heavens aren't opening their gates for me yet, that one should be maintained.

"Help mommy out, baby. Come on, cupcake. We can do this... Aurgh!" I groaned as i started getting up from the camphor thick leaves.

Its stems created a creaky sound which made me almost scream. More carefully this time, i held tightly onto the bark until my foot reached the edge point, the last stem supporting my body from not falling down. With the balance i made, i freed my hands out of the bark and let my foot land on the grass.

Looking up at this camphor tree who saved me, i can't help but be fascinated by its huge appearance and greeny ambiance. And a realization hit me, that no matter how dark this place is, there's still goodness living in the hidden part of it.

    Before i could go beyond the gate, Atticus forcefully scooped me, leaving me with no choice but to watch how Domina pulled Lorcan inside her door and locked it harshly."N-no... No!" I screamed as i continued struggling from Atticus' steel-like arms. "Let me go! Let me get him out there!" I wriggled like a kid demanding a cotton candy from her parents."Quit it. You're frustrating me!" Looking so stressed, he carried me in a bridal style and headed towards his car. "You just don't understand! It's for your brother's sake!" I sobbed on his neck. He cursed under his breath and held me tightly. "Half-brother, missy. And i'm actually out of any shits he's involved with." He apathetically said as he smoothly slid me to his passenger seat. I shot him my deadliest glare. How could he say that? He never failed to make himself the most heartless person in my view, huh. He's near to exceed his brother, i swear! At least, Lorcan has a soft spot for me which i just discovered recently. Well,

    "Have they gone insane?!" I exclaimed hysterically. How in the actual fvck can they even consider that photo into a malice? Don't they find it absurd? Violet is way too older than him, she could almost pass as his auntie! And she's a certified bitch."They know nothing," Atticus said as he threw the remote on the sofa.I looked at him knowingly."I wanna go to him," my lips trembled. His brows furrowed a bit, it seems like he really finds me the most annoying person he could ever meet but i could only care less."Your breakfast is being prepared in the dining." He was ready to walk out but my reflexes are way faster lately, i grabbed his arm, making him look at me unbelievably. "I rarely beg. I never even thought of asking for help from someone i can barely talk to. I know you think of me now as a pathetic woman, you probably hate me or more so... But please, Atticus," i swallowed the lump in my throat like how i swallowed my remaining pride. "I need your help on this one. Please, h

    His shock reaction was short-lived. The emotion in his face is void again, his eyes looking guarded. Like before, i couldn't seem to read him anymore. "Tell me what's going on, Lorcan." I demanded. He remained standing before me, i was trying my best to level his gaze. "You forgot to talk using your tongue again?" I questioned him in sarcasm. His jaw clenched, as if he was controlling himself. It made me want to trigger him more. "What's the meaning of that, huh? Speak, Amadeus!" I pushed his shoulder, he didn't even flinch."I don't know what you're talking about." His voice is controlled. My mouth parted as i looked at him unbelievably."Can you please..." I breathed out, trying to calm myself but failed miserably. "Can you please stop making me stupid here? Just stop because i'm so done with all these craps! I'm tired of being clueless! I just want an explanation! Is it that hard to give?" I burst out.He didn't make a response, he just... looked away and swallowed hard. At least

    "Fvck you to the core!" I shouted and forcefully grabbed her amber hair.It feels very satisfying, clutching those strands all around my hands, pulling them by my strength, exerting all my frustrations and hatred. Her cigar fell on the ground. She started screaming while struggling to avoid my attacks but it was too late, i'm not planning on letting go of her hair without ruining the whole of it."Oh damn! Stop it, woman!" I felt Atticus' arms snaking around my waist, trying to pull me away from the lady but i'm too determined to hurt her, too invested to make her feel the glowing rage in me."You're the only elder who doesn't deserve any bits of respect in the world. Always remember that, biatch!" I pulled her hair more. "Argh! Let me go! You're gonna... you're so gonna regret this!" She whimpered angrily while trying to pull my hair, too.Atticus kept on pulling my body, i accidentally kicked his left leg, he groaned. Seconds later, securities came over to interfere. My hair is in

    "Who's Kaden?" I heard Atticus ask."My dickhead brother." I answered absentmindedly. I don't understand. Why would he bring a random girl with him and not my friend? I thought they were on the dating stage already and that they were really having a good time in getting to know each other.What happened when i was gone? It's not like it's been months since I disappeared. The wedding just happened a few days ago and they were still sweet as sugar that time. He even french-kissed Sydney while she was picking her gown. So what's happening now?"What's on your ugly small head?" It was a very insulting choice of question from the brute beside me.I obviously glared at him. "Just about my brother. I'm confused. Why would he bring another woman to a freaking hotel when he already has my friend? I mean, my friend is a hottie and last time I checked, they're dating!" A crease slowly formed in my forehead."Maybe he just wants to explore." He shrugged like it's a normal thing for men to act t

    Today is the day where i'm about to meet my best girl again, and i couldn't explain the excitement circulating within me. To make it more obvious, i wore my favorite backless baby blue dress whenever we're hanging out and the step in that she presented to me as a gift in my previous birthday. "Edith, if ever Lorcan comes back home..." I trailed off the seconds i saw hesitance in her look."O-of course, Miss! I will definitely tell him that you're finally back." She said in a cheering tone. My lips crafted a small smile."Tell him i'm just meeting my friend and i'll be right back before late afternoon." I told her and gave her shoulder a pat."Noted, Miss." She nodded, smiling.As soon as I was out of the gates, i decided to just rent a cab on my way to the nearest coffee shop where Syd settled our meet-up. God, i really miss Trixy but i still can't get her back because of Lorcan's provided rules and regulations. He doesn't want me to drive simply because he thinks my driving skills a

    It was such a blurry momentum of my life where i didn't get to see a clearer version of his handsome face that was close to mine. His body, on top of mine, his chest which is sculpted in perfection sweating, neck reddening, jaw clenching. A very hot and tempting view. The way he slams his body into mine, so rough and claiming that i almost forgot my name in too much ecstasy he was making me feel.I swear, that single night was the best among the nights of my life. Despite the unexpectedness of everything, i still wouldn't regret that it happened and if the universe will give me a chance to rewind that scene, i will definitely still choose him as the man who took my first. It's him or no one. Always."Look who we have here." My thoughts quickly drifted away as soon as a familiar red haired girl stopped in front of us. And by the way, she's showing us her signature smirk. That one was really my pet peeve there."Michelle Andersson." Sydney spoke her name, making her smirks grow wider.

    Kaden found me! And he's like a raging beast ready to devour anyone. They exchanged punches, kicks and whacks. The lights went back but the mess still never stopped. It only got worse, party people were desperate enough to get to the exit. Lorcan's men are still fighting with the troublemakers, too. "You're a dead meat!""Kaden, watch out!" My breath hitched as i shouted that. The mad man got his gun back and he's pulling the trigger on my brother!"No!" It happened too fast, Sydney appeared with a whiskey bottle on her hand, she hit it on the man's head. "Gosh! I feel completely sober!" Her eyes moved to me and then, to Kaden who was staring intently at her."Syddy, i thought i was going to lose you!" I forced myself to get up and hugged her. She hugged me back tightly. "Don't you ever do that again, to leave on my watch!" I sobbed on her shoulder."Sorry for making you worried, Tash..." God, I'm so glad she's safe!I faced her afterwards but seconds later, her eyes widened and she

    Dimmed Lights. Vape and cigar smokes. Aroma of liquors. Wild partiers. Slutty strippers. Ah. I'm here again, in my only to-go place after a shitty tiring day from work; one way or another. With a glass of rum in my hand, i remained standing on the dark corner of the second floor of this club owned by a family friend. Eyes were busy surveying the revellers on the ground floor, i rested one of my elbows on the railings before taking consecutive gulps from my drink.Seconds after, i felt a sensual touch on my covered chest. When i gazed down at the doer, i saw a woman with a piercing in her nose. She was staring at my eyes, seductively. The audacity of this fuck-worthy mary."Want a release, Daddy?" She sounded like a professional slut as she asked me that. I didn't utter a response. Instead, i sipped on my rum again, letting her grind her big tits against my upper body. Her hands were all over my shoulders, up to my nape as she swayed her hips in a sensual demeanor. She bit her lip, l

    [Eight Months Later...]"Do you take this woman as your other half in richer or poorer, in sickness or in health, 'til death do you part?""I do." Lorcan responded to the priest, it sent sparks to me. My lips curled up for a smile, he stared at my face filled with joyous tears."Do you take this man as your other half in richer or poorer, in sickness or in health, 'til death do you part?" It was my turn to answer.With a nod, i say, "I do, father." "Well then, before you seal it... is there anyone to oppose?" Fr. Morris acknowledged with a meaningful tone, making the guests react."To hell with that." But Lorcan being Lorcan, the guests' reactions were epic as he impulsively removed my veil and cupped my face to seal my lips with a kiss.It was a deep, swift kind of kiss. When he released me, i ended up chuckling. He remained serious though. I knew what he was thinking. It's so obvious, he's traumatized by the previous wedding eight months ago. Indeed, it was one hell of a traumatic

    Those words of Regina immediately drew the attention of the guests. In the center of the carpeted pathway, she's standing in her dirty wedding gown, her make-up severely ruined, mascara was all over her swollen eyes."What is she doing?""Isn't she the daughter of Angelina?" "This woman doesn't know what she's doing!"Most of the guests began spitting murmurs into facts. From an emotional atmosphere to a troubled one, i couldn't understand what's about to happen anymore. We remained on our grounds while looking at the pitiful looking lady who kept on crying carelessly.She's completely aware that this is another series of scandals in their family yet, she seems unbothered by the transparency of its consequences."This has to stop! Between me and that woman, i'm the deserving one! I should be the bride, not her!" She shouted that the veins on her neck were showing already.What is she saying? She's crazy! Oh my goodness, i think she totally lost it. I want to hate her for ruining the

    He kept on slamming his cock inside me and all i could do was to moan, and dig my newly polished nails on his broad back. Beads of sweat formed in his neck, it's been red since we started fvcking our brains out- or should i say, making love as what he prefers to call it. A few more thrusts, faster and harder before he released his thick semen inside me along with my fifth orgasm. My womb felt so full. He spurted so much that some of it was flowing down my thighs, sticking them. Regardless of that, i'm very very satisfied. Who wouldn't be if the sex turned out straight with only peeing was the valid break?I'd take that as a perk of having an active husband. Imagine, satisfying ourselves in the worldly pleasure until three in the morning. No interval or any, just draining each of our stamina 'til we both fell on the verge of giving up. But knowing Lorcan, it was never in his vocabulary. When it comes to this, he's becoming the immortal that he is. And it's freaking sexy in my viewpo

    "What do you think?"In a very lazy motion, i adjusted my gaze to Sydney who kept on asking my opinion about the dresses that suit her taste. For the 7th time today, she's currently wearing an emerald long dress with a slit on its right thigh, exposing her creamy lengthy legs."That looks perfect on you, Syddy." I sighed as i refocused on putting my earrings in a slow manner.I heard a grunt from her. "Bitch, you've been saying that since the first dress! How could you be this mean?" Her tone was dramatic.Frowning, i looked at her again. She's slouching in front of me. I made a bitter smile."You don't understand at all." I spat."Oh, i clearly understand everything." She rebutted with entitled sarcasm. My smile faded, i gazed at her through dead eyes. It's her turn to smile, bitterly either. "You've been fooled and now, you're the one who initiated to attend the party since we're all invited- well, certainly not surprising anymore since almost everyone here in the city is invited...

    "Atasha! Oh my girl..." A rushing Sydney has come out from the elevator together with my whole family."I-i don't know what to do. I felt so useless. I'm such a good for nothing mother." I sobbed on my palms."Aww. Don't say that!" Her arms enveloped me. I ended up crying on her shoulders. She kept on rubbing my back, consoling me at least. "I'm sorry you have to deal with this..." She whispered.I didn't speak and just hugged her back. Everyone's in panic, no words can describe how miserable we are as of the moment. All because our little boy was taken away from us. The events can't still sink in to me. They happened too fast. He was out of my hold... in a flash."Who would be doing this?" It was mom's questioning voice. She's sitting next to my father in the lounge, both having a problematic look.I released myself from Sydney as i wiped my tears. Kaden was giving me his sympathetic gaze, his jaw also tensed and then i remember we're not yet talking about his unexpected partnership

    If something bad happens to Damian, i will never forgive Regina... ever. Through Laxus' limousine, we arrived at the nearest pediatric clinic and rushed my son to the assigned pediatrician who happens to be Lorcan's old colleague way back in university. My emotions were overflowing while he was sending Damian to its doctor. My baby's struggling to catch his own breath, it's clear to the instability of his chest's movement. I feel like something's hammering my heart that i ended up letting my tears burst out but i had to cover my mouth to muffle my audible sobs since i wasn't alone in the room. There's the Amadeus couple who remained wordless on the couch, and Hettie who was biting her polished nails, looking unusually nervous. On the same page, there's Lorcan who can't stay in one place as he keeps on going back and forth while playing his lower lip, face was so problematic and robbed of ease. "He's gonna be fine." Hettie moved closer to me. She put her hand on my shoulder and gen

    We arrived at the Amadeus Residence after almost twenty five minutes of ride from the apartment. Lorcan opened the car door for us before he put Damian in his left arm while the other was resting around my waist.Two tall and gigantic men were standing on both sides of the pathway through the double doors. However, I couldn't stop roaming my gaze around. We were walking on the ground of the vast entrance yard, the bushes from years ago are still there but some of them bloomed more beautiful and greeny. It sent me to the memories i had in this place way back in the past where i attended his sister's pool party. This time, no wild teens and neon lights, the pool located on the front right of the mansion looks plain and dim. It feels unusual for me but i guess that's how we separate the past from the present in order to deal with the future.Those bittersweet scenarios i had experience in this place shall stay only in my core memory."You still have a chance to back out."

    "For real?!" Regina exclaimed with a huge smile plastered on her face."Yes! Isn't it wonderful?" Helena mirrored her reaction.Only the two of them are happy about it. I can't even lift my lips up because of confusion, my chest booms with irritation, bitterness and pain. All at once. I don't know where to focus anymore.However, the two men remained stiff on their seats. Lorcan's aura screams like he's in ready to kill mode."Thank you, Edith." Helena thanked the helper the moment she served the snacks and drinks on the table.Edith slightly bowed before she left the room and now, we're five again. Regina confidently made her way to Lorcan's right and sat on its vacant seat. The position is; Lorcan's in between us, and Mr. and Mrs. Amadeus are in our front. How come the situation suddenly became like this? I just wanna visit this place again and catch up with Edith, not to deal with these toxic people i once ran away from."Anyway, Hon, where's my good morning back? You didn't give
