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

I was helpless. Time was counting, yet I was doing nothing. I could only stare at her, pray she would come with me. According to Gregory, Dad and his men were surely up to something dangerous. I knew Dad needed something important from Renee, so goodness knew what he could do to get it at all costs."Renee." My eyebrows knitted, owing to how worried I was. Taking a step close, I took her hands. "Please, come with me. I promise to explain everything. You need to leave here as soon as possible."She scoffed, and removed her hands from mine. She didn't resist crying. Crying with a great deal of emotions I couldn't decipher."No." Her voice was low, almost in a whisper. "I've tried to end the pain I feel, but my effort's not working. If I go with you, what's the probability I won't get hurt?"I swallowed a pound in my throat. "Please," I pleaded in a whisper. "I can't risk losing you. Come wi

"I'm waiting." Renee cut me off my thoughts. To be frank, I was debating with myself. I was horrified, not sure of what she would do if she had to hear this from me.For the first time in a long time, I felt tears in my eyes. It wasn't just the tears, it was the fact I was scared to lose someone this special to my heart. The day I had met her, I had never thought this stupid game would unite us. I had thought she would be like every other woman I knew, so I hadn't felt a bit bad that I was faking a relationship with her. But now, I wanted nothing but to be with her."Please." My voice came out low, seeming as if I was speaking with my last breath. "Please, when you hear what I have to say, I need you to consider forgiving me."A tear rolled down her face. The hurt I saw in those eyes kept me wondering if she had an idea of what was going on."Speak," she commanded.&nbs
Chasing Her Twenty: Warning
His passionate kisses and hugs were nothing but lust. The way he adored my body was nothing but lust. Whenever he had mentioned “I love you”, it was nothing but lust. The beautiful emotions I always saw in those blue eyes were nothing but lust. The way he made my body react whenever he touched me, was nothing but lust.Everything was lust. Pure lust. Lust with deceit.I was shattered, regretful, helpless, exhausted. I still didn't want to believe it. This was a coincidence. To be sincere, I had always known something wasn't right. I had known something was missing in this relationship, but this had never been my thought. He was deceiving me?Last night, after a long time of weeping and wailing, I had ambled back into the beach house, and had stayed in the room he had asked me to stay in. I had slipped on a sleep shirt, had tried as hard as possible to sleep, but I had only ended up staying awake a
Chasing Her Twenty-one: Obsessed
Roy____Everyone always said, “You only miss your lover when you let her go”. In the last one week, I was a victim of missing my lover. It was one week of nothing but depression, one week of discomfort, a week of pain. In the last few days, I realized I was a bit obsessed with Renee.She was my pure happiness. Being without her returned me to the darkness from my past; the times when I used to think the world was a place full of wicked people. Only if I hadn't done this, I would be happy with her."Sir, is that all for the day?" Miss Hart asked the same thing for an innumerable time. Of course, I had been hearing her speak, but I wasn't listening to her. I was so lost in thoughts.I flapped my hand to dismiss her. I was too tired to talk, so that was the best way to ask her to leave. She lowered her head a little, then turned aro
Chasing Her Twenty two: News
I heard the faint sound of a masculine voice. Not only was I hearing a voice, I was also feeling something poke my skin. It seemed like I was being injected.The pain on my arm made me scrunch my nose. My head felt heavy, and I kind of felt weak. What was really going on? I knew I was still sick from staying in the rain that night at Roy's Beach House, but I didn't expect that little sickness to affect this much.I raised my hand to my forehead, moved my head slowly, and tried to open my eyes. The bright white light on the ceiling was what covered my sight. This place looked familiar. It looked like—Ah, jeez, I was on mom's bed. It seemed like I had fainted. Woah, what?! I hated things like this.I blinked slowly, tried to contain the weakness I felt. "Wh-What's going on?" I managed to speak.Being quite conscious, I noticed mom standing beside the bed, a
Chasing Her Twenty three: Awkward moment
This apple juice irritated me so much. Not only the juice, the sandwich as well was quite irritating. For some reason, I was losing appetite for the food I always enjoyed eating. Oh, obviously, the reason was because of this pregnancy. How much more inconvenience was this unborn child going to cause?First, I had had to extend my sleeping time, although I clearly didn't need any sleep in order to read for my exams. Second, everyone was complaining about my looks. They claimed I looked drowsy. Third, I had to ensure I never missed the time to take my medicines. To wrap it all, this pregnancy had changed my life so much! Really tiresome.And, to aggravate this issue, there was no one to comfort me when I felt worn out. In order to not get unnecessary attention, I didn't tell my friends about it. Well, mom was the only one helping me out, but she didn't stay closeby. So, indirectly, I was fighting this battle alone.
Chasing Her Twenty four: A thing.

He was a pain to my heart.Bella stared at me. I could tell she was worried, so I decided to smile to make her think I was fine. She returned my smile, nodded, gesturing I had to keep calm."You don't wanna see my beautiful girl?" Jason said, speaking to Roy who was still standing behind me.Roy turned around the bed, stood beside Jason, sat on a stool there. Jason took the baby from Bella, so he would show Roy. As Roy smiled at the baby, I swallowed. Why did I have a feeling he would get to know about my pregnancy?"She's so cute," he remarked. "I hope to have a baby like her someday."When his eyes met mine, I looked away. All I could think of was, so he wanted a baby someday? Or, was he saying thi

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
