The young dude standing beside dad's chair bowed his head, obviously fearful. "I-I don't know. He said he'll be here soon."
"Where is he?!" Dad hollered at the top of his voice. He didn't just holler, he kicked the stool which stood below his knee. Woah, woah, this anger was getting too hard.
"I-I don't know, sir. He'll get here soon." The young man trembled as he spoke.
Irritated, I gestured that he should take his leave. Dad could easily hit a glass against the innocent dude's head. It was better to prevent that.
I sighed. "Being angry won't do anything. I think you should rather be grateful you didn't go bankrupt."

Chasing Her Ten: Nightmare
I blinked after a long, crazy, uncomfortable stare. I was kind of shocked to know he knew my name. And, why did I feel like this guy was truly Roy's brother? This was the same way I had encountered Roy, about a year ago. He had come like a ghost, seeming as if he had already known me before that night."You're not just cute, you're funny too." Tyler chuckled at me.I smiled a little. I wasn't blushing, but I liked it when anyone called me cute. "Thanks. Anyways, what would you like to buy?""I want a drink." He winked, a sneer on his lips. Gosh! Winking like Roy? Was I sure this wasn't my guy in disguise? "A drink with you."I chuckled. "I work here. No drinks with the workers.""Really?" He propped his elbow on the counter, those attractive eyes glinting. "Well, you aren't prohibited from walking home with me, right?"I dropped my hands on my wai

I tried so hard to force a tear to elude my eye, but my effort was in vain. The pain I felt seemed to be exacerbating, so I needed to cry out this pain. But, nothing was working. The tears weren't willing to come out.My entire body shuddered, stiff in my tracks. I could die. The least thing anyone could play with were my emotions. I was emotional to the point a heart break could affect me for weeks. It could be dangerous to my health.Had he really cheated on me? So this was real? For goodness' sake, I had given him all of me. What would—"No, no," I rejected every negative thought in my head, being hopeful that what I had seen was false. Not wanting to believe it, I managed to take my phone, attempting to watch the video again. I was pretty sure that wasn't my man. Maybe he was being framed.But, that was the instant a text came in. Numb, I clicked on the text. It was

Roy____I squinted my eyes at my laptop screen, trying to read the content on the page I was browsing through. Frustrated, I groaned at myself, thinking of the best way to end this crazy work I was doing. It was about six in the evening, which meant it was time to go home. But how could I go home when this stupid work wasn't willing to be done?Exhausted, I sighed, threw my head back to lean my back against my seat. Taking my phone from the glass table in front of me, I turned it on, waited for a while, particularly waiting for a text from Renee. But, I got nothing. The phone screen was blank.This was weird. Since yesterday's afternoon, Renee hadn't attempted to give me a call or send a text. Fine, I wasn't replying to her texts and calls these days, but that didn't mean I didn't like to get them from her. Replying to her texts would only make me feel guilty, so that was t

I parked my car in front of Renee's dorm. Being hesitant to step out, I stared at the steering wheel, feeling the need to return back home. Return home because there was a really high probability Renee wouldn't forgive me. I mean, what excuse could I give her? How would she believe Kath and I didn't sleep with each other that night?"Roy, what happened?" Jason asked. He sounded worried, and that made me quite relieved. I needed someone to understand things from my perspective. My stupid perspective.I swallowed before turning to him. "I…" I sighed. "I don't even know how to say it. You see, Kath kind of came into my hotel room. She wanted me to sleep with her, but of course, I didn't. Yes, we kissed, but nothing else happened.""So…" he pursed his lips, raised his eyebrows. "Who took that video? How did it leak out? And, who would have sent it to Renee?"I narrowed my eyes.

Roy____Thanks to the traffic-free road. If the road wasn't traffic-free, I would have probably had a car accident by now, owing to the rate at which I was speeding. It was dangerous to speed this much, but I was totally enraged. I just needed to go to Kath, ask her for the damn reason she had to send that video to Renee. First, why would she film such a thing? And second, what would she gain from doing that?Taking a turn to the next street, which was the street of Kath's house, the thought of how shattered Renee had looked, worried me. She wasn't willing to listen to anything I had to say, she hit me hard, she expressed her pain.And, what bothered me even more was how she would feel when she got to know I was duping her. Only seeing that video, she was running crazy. How would she react when she found out this was a game? I didn't know she was this emotional.

Kathleen________Amy's prattle made my head seem like it would burst soon. Here I was, worried about my relationship with Roy, and there she was, planning a hookup with a random dude over the phone.I rolled my eyes, stormed to the lip-shaped couch in here, threw my butt against the couch. Folding my arms across my chest, I pulled my lips into a pout, feeling so, so worried."Bye, honey pie. See you by ten." She giggled, and hung up her phone call.Walking to me, she took the mug of hot coffee on the glass table in front of me, sat by the other side, just opposite me. She sipped from the mug, and sighed to denote she enjoyed the coffee."Sup with you?" She started a conversation first.I scoffed. "So now you care about me? After speaking to a moron for ten hours?""Keep your insults low." She hissed.

"D-Do you think I'm joking?" He was finally able to speak.He was angry, yet fearful. If this man thought he would use his strictness to change the decision I had made, then he had to know his thought was wrong."I know it's not a joke." My voice was thicker than usual. "Yes, I'm in love with Renee. I know you don't want that, but that's what had to happen.""Are you crazy?!" He cried. His body shook as he did so. "Have you forgotten you're only fooling her? H-How can you say you love her? That's not possible."I swallowed. "People say all things work together for good. If you hadn't asked me to fool her, I wouldn't have met someone with a good soul like hers."I read disbelief in his eyes. It seemed like my words were too real to be true."Roy…" he leaned backwards, lingered his hand in the air. "I know you're not happy about that vi

Mom didn't get her eyes off me. She was crying, smiling at the same time. In order to not worsen how bad she felt, I just smiled warmly at her."Can you stop crying now?" I proposed.She rubbed her palm against her eyes, sniffing. "You must be so hurt. I'm so sorry for that, dear."I swallowed my tears, and nodded. "Yeah, but… it'll be fine. There's no need for you to worry about me."She took my hands, inhaled. "Honey, I get what's going on, and I understand that you aren't willing to forgive him. But, don't you think it's not fine for you to just conclude on your relationship with him so quickly? I mean, he said nothing happened between him and that girl, right?""But he kissed her." Although I had tried so much to not cry, a tear left my eye. "Besides, I kind of noticed he acts strangely towards me. After his graduation, he became a different man. He always

Chasing Her Epilogue
Renee______My hands tugged against the guardrails of the bed I was laid on. This pain? I hadn't ever experienced such physical pain in my entire life. At this moment, I appreciated my mom more than ever before."Ah!" My voice didn't come from my vocal cord, it came all the way from my abdomen, went through my lungs, then escaped via my lips. This pain felt like death."It'll be fine." Roy caressed my hair, seeming so worried."Push!" The nurse cried."Lord, help me!" I screamed further, trying to catch my breath, weeping so hard. A loud high-pitched sound banged in my ears, my head felt heavy, my body was full of discomfort.He pecked my forehead. "A little more effort, okay? Just a few more pushes.""A little more force needed," the nurse announced.&nb
Chasing Her Fifty one: Fate
I held mom's hand tight, so worried. It had been up to an hour since she woke up, yet she wasn't saying anything to me. She only continued to weep hard, harder than I had ever seen. I had asked her a couple of questions, but got no reply."I can't believe this," she finally spoke.I shifted closer to her, cupped her hand tighter. "I don't get what's going on. Please, say something to me."She finally looked at me. "That's John. That's… your father."I gave her a neutral expression, not knowing what to say or do. My father? The man who had died since I was a baby? Wait, what? Was this a world of fantasy? How in the world did he wake up from the dead?"Mom, that's Pablo. Are you sure you aren't seeing things?" I bit my lower lip when I said that.She sighed. "I don't even know how to react to this. It feels so… unreal. I'm sure S
Chasing Her Fifty: What?!
"Roy, come downstairs!" I cried, grumbling and frowning at myself. Goodness knew what he was doing up there. "Do you want your food to get cold? Don't make me come there and break your bones!""I'm coming, ma'am." He mumbled some things, as he walked down the stairs.Hot, he really was. He was in a sweatpant, a sweatshirt, and slippers. His hair was a bit wet and tousled, some of its strands slipping on his eyebrows. But, that didn't obstruct his beauty. As he took each step down, those arms moved back and forth as if he was bragging about his muscles.He squeezed his face a little, yawned in between. I could tell he still wanted to sleep, but couldn't do that because I had forced him to take a bath earlier than usual. Lazy dude. He didn't wanna go to work anymore."Gosh, why won't you let me sleep? What have I done to deserve this punishment?" He pecked my cheek from behind, and se
Chasing Her Forty nine: Agreed.
I turned back to Scott. His mouth and eyes were dropped. Mom's reply was what he wanted to hear, but that was probably not what he had expected her to say. She groaned from behind, which made me turn back to her. She was trying to get up. Yep, I ought to help her get up, but I was quite angry that she had agreed to give him the necklace."Mom?" I walked to her, and scoffed. "You wanna— what the heck?""Honey." She gasped for air, grumbling a bit as a result of how tired she seemed. "I can't risk your life. He's threatening us at gun point. We should just get rid of him for good. There's no need for you to worry, okay?""But, I can't…" I began to cry. I was so short of words. My mom would start a relationship with my boyfriend's dad? Absolutely ridiculous!"Honey, please—"Just when she was about to speak, the loud sound of… oh my goodness! Si
Chasing Her Forty eight: I'll do it
The thought that could poof into my head, was going on my knees and begging this irritating dude to spare us. Now, I understood why mom wanted us to leave the country as soon as possible. But, the irritating thing was, why the heck were we running away from a criminal? Criminals were the ones who ought to leave, not us!"Scott, at this point, you should know that this isn't possible. I've been guiding my late husband's possession since God-knows-when," Mom sputtered, glowering at him. "So, please, forget about the filthy necklace.""I. Won't." He spat out.She scorned at him. "Then let's see how you'll get it. In two hours, your twenty-five years bet will diminish. John will lose all the money to the betting company, while you'll get nothing!""I swear, I'll kill you." He moved close to her, jerked her jaw, pulled my darling mom up. I could kill him as well!"You won't dare
Chasing Her Forty Seven: Absolutely no one
Life was the same as boring. There was no Roy to stare at me whenever I woke up in the morning, there was no baby in my tummy to adore, there was no one to keep my company. Mom, who was the only available person around me, was facing a bit of depression.Ever since I had told her about how I had lost my pregnancy, she hadn't been doing fine at all. She had said she had already been knitting sweaters for her unborn grandchild, not knowing the innocent thing would be killed by some morons.Little by little, I was getting rid of the pain of losing the pregnancy, but not a bit had I gotten rid of my love for Roy. I guessed we had a really strong bond. To be frank, in the last one week, sometimes, I would think of speaking with him, but I didn't know how to. Probably, if he hadn't affirmed that this relationship was over, I could have tried to at least call or send a text to him. But, since he had said he didn't want it anymore, I gue
Chasing Her Forty six: Relationship Counsellor
Being shocked was an understatement. Not for once had I thought I would ever get to see her again. When she had first gone to the hospital, I used to visit her, and sometimes, had prepared her favorite dishes. But, when the doctor had told Bella and I that she had been close to death, we had decided to stop going to the hospital in order to prevent ourselves from being too hurt."Virg!" I jumped from my seat, threw my body against hers, cuddling her crazily.She giggled, hugging me tight as well. "Missed you so much, honey.""Oh my goodness." Pulling away, I pecked her on the cheek. "I can't believe you're… alive."She shrugged. "Me too. I can't believe I'm alive."I poked her arm. "Gosh, you've made me so glad tonight. Wanna go somewhere and talk?""Sure." She nodded."Kk." I took my purse from the table. T
Chasing Her Forty five: End
After a moment of being glued to my tracks, I managed to drop the bottle of water and glass, on the bed. Doing that, I traipsed to her, my legs feeling like it would break soon.Immediately I stood in front of her, she put her eyes down. "I'm sorry. I know this might hurt you. As well, I'm hurt. It took me a while to make this decision, but I've made up my mind. And I know it'll be good for us both.""Are you crazy?" I huffed. I hadn't even known when those words had spilled from my mouth. "You want to leave me? In this ruckus?"She raised her head to me, tears in her eyes. "Please, understand this. Breaking up is what we need at this point. Many people don't want us to be together.""But, that's—""We lost our child!" She roared. The seriousness in her tone intensified, tears already trickling down her cheek. "I've been kidnapped twice, I keep on being threatened, I
