FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN Left Behind
CHAPTER FIFTY-FOUR:Left Behind--Bomb?April paled after hearing the phrase. Even Tyler furrowed his brows. Dave looked at Aaron and the latter was thinking deeply. Sheryl gripped Tyler’s arm tightly and said, “Is that so? Then we should get going to the safe room. But—is that sturdy enough to protect us from exploding bombs?”April glared at her, “Do you think our building is made with cheap materials? Unless it’s nuclear, of course, it will withstand it.”Sheryl glared back, “If you’re that proud of your hotel, why did those even enter here?”April looked at her in disappointment, “Ha! You were pretty smart when we were in high school but for some reason, your personality and intelligence decreased at an alarming rate during college. Did you not hear what this guy said earlier? They killed the guards.” She snorted and rolled her eyes; absolute disgust was lacing her stares and voice. “Stupid. What can humans do with guns? Evade them in a super lightning speed like superheroes?”“Yo

CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVE:A Glimpse of the Past--Althea just realizes how stupid she was after arriving on the floor where the venue of that party was. She should have taken the elevator instead of the stairs since she was trying to escape. She was so stupid to take a path that would take her more time to get into the basement—the parking lot—and drive home immediately.She always does this whenever her mind is in chaos. Meeting familiar people and remembering unpleasant memories from the past because of it has never been good for anyone, especially if those memories are bad enough to engrave deep traumas on them.In her case, it was not them who gave it to her.‘But,’ the corner of her mouth twitched. ‘If I ever did decide to take the elevator, it would be more embarrassing since it is in front of them. If I suddenly turned my back on them and then stopped just to wait forever for the elevator to open while they stared at me from the back—isn’t that more embarrassing?’Yup, that would be

CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX:The Man in Suit--Tyler tried his best to not cause any audible noise that may get the attention of the three-armed people down on the floor. He took his every step on the stairs fast but carefully. It was hard walking without making any noise because the floor was in complete silence, as if someone muted the whole place, or it was just his ears malfunctioning.He arrived at the floor, then he pressed his back on the wall, and slowly peeked his head out to see if anyone was there. No one was. He released the air he was holding for too long inside his lungs and got back into hiding. He wanted to get to her, fast, since she had no idea what was happening. But many questions and things keep on bothering him: is she still on the floor? Did she safely use the elevator to go down the basement? Is she gone? Did they catch her?Tyler furrowed his brows in frustration. “If only I followed her here…”Then both of them would be caught by the other three because none of them w

CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN:Bang, Bang!--The bearded man, who was lying on the floor, began to regain his consciousness not long after Tyler hit him with the fire extinguisher. He groaned while putting his hand on the swollen part of his. His palm touched something wet. He tried to get up with the help of his other arm and looked at it. His anger flared up when he saw his palm bloody. It caused his head to bleed! His glare was directed at the two escaping figures."Hey!" His other companion shouted at him. "Are you okay?""That bastard!" He shouted, failing to hear the other. He angrily pointed at the one woman and man. "Chase them! Bring them to me and I'll kill them myself!"Their other companion heard it and fired the gun, but he missed them because Tyler suddenly pulled Althea into a corner. The other continued to follow them.He gritted his teeth and, when he finally couldn't endure it; he stood up. "That stupid guy! He can't even shoot them down with that distance!" He tried to fol

CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT:Bang, Bang! (2)--Althea was relieved after knowing that there was someone who was listening to them and guiding them toward safety. Also, she was glad that she had someone to talk to about the fake bomb threats of these people.She didn't have her phone, and she was running, as well as did Tyler. She did not consider asking him about his phone earlier, since they had no time to dial someone's number while running. But to think he was already on call; it makes things convenient for them."That suffice-" she said between her breaths. "Tell her that they are only "She caught the man in the corner of her eyes running towards them with the gun in his left hand. The gun's muzzle was lowered on the floor and it swung with his hand as he ran towards them.He opened his mouth and Althea thought he would just shout for them to stop running again like he did earlier, but he did not. Althea's eyes widened when he pulled to a full stop and pointed the gun in her direction.

CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE:Snap, snap--Inside a medium-sized room, the people who were evacuated to their floor were softly murmuring to each other. Some were seated, but most were not, since the seats were not enough to accommodate them all. Although it might not be time for it, some are resenting the people sitting on the couches secretly but cannot say anything since they have higher statuses than them. No matter how dangerous the situation is, it seems like the priority of the masses is those people with more power and higher statuses.In the innermost part of the room, there was another separate couch with a table. There seated the other four: April, Sheryl, Dave, and Aron. April was sitting in front of a laptop. She was sweating even though the room had an air conditioner. Of course, the sweat that was breaking on her forehead and sliding on her face was a cold sweat. Her right hand was on a mouse, and her forefinger was clicking on it as she kept on alternating from camera to camera.

CHAPTER SIXTY:No answer---Tyler slammed the door shut in front of the man who was chasing after them. It feels like his butt was on fire because his moves were very fast. He did not even care when he almost tripped on his way to a couch inside the room. In his hurry, Tyler almost threw Althea's body on the couch as soon as he got there and sprinted to the wardrobe and the bed to get enough clothes to press down on the wound and try stopping the bleeding. When he came back to the couch where he randomly tossed her, he saw her grunting and moving while clutching her bleeding abdomen. Tyler's eyes shone and trembled at the same time. He wasted no time and almost ran to get to her. Then, he kneeled next to the couch and stopped her from sitting."Don't," he said softly. He was trying his best to not anger and agitate her. "Don't waste your energy sitting, I just need you to stay awake. Stay awake for me, okay?"Gently, he guided her body to lay back down and immediately began stacking

CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE: Afterwards --- “Sir,” one of the paramedics stopped his advances. “You’re not allowed to get near to the patient, we’ll take it from here.” Tyler knows that he knows, but for some reason, his words are set to rage in his heart. He glared at the guy and almost pushed him aside. “I’ll accompany you to the hospital. Let me in in the ambulance.” The other looked at him strangely before looking behind him over his shoulder. Out of almost 200 people in the hotel, 3 died- which are the security guards manning the doors and doing patrols- and one injured. The injured lady was escorted by paramedics on a stretcher. Her condition was not looking good since she lost too much blood, and they had to perform a blood transfusion as soon as possible. He looked back at the man who insisted on getting in the ambulance and asked, “How are you related to the patient, sir?” This made Tyler pause and his kind almost lost its function. That’s right, who is he to Althea? How are they

FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN A Victim Of Cowardness (03)
---I did what I was ordered to, and when I finally got to the bottom of it…What the fuck?“I knew things would be interesting if I keep him by my side.” Startled, I looked at my sister who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She was looking at the photo with interest in her eyes. She looked at me. “Erase every record the police had or anything within Victoria’s reach, we can’t have her figuring out everything before I can have my fun of them destroying each other.”“Hmmm,” I glanced at her. “Isn’t she your friend?”“Friend?” She smiled, appearing innocent. “I don’t have anything like that. Father banned that word to us, brother.”“... If that’s what you say.”“Good!” She turned and stretched her body. “Ahh, I can’t wait to see Sheryl get destroyed by the man she loves. Or maybe, it would be mutual destruct

—“Is that your fiance?” I asked as soon as I sneaked at her back, wanting to scare her.“Stop doing that!” She yelled at me. I laughed at her, telling her sorry. She clicked her tongue before nodding. “He is. Handsome, right?”“Hmm?” I pretended to think about it. “Not really.”She scoffed. “Really.”She turned her back on me and continued her work, facing the paper works that were piled on her table. She was 15.I stood behind her, looking at the man on her table.From the day I knew that all along, she was the leader, I decided to stay and look after her. When I told her about my decision, the pause she had was short but eye-catching. Before I could register the pause and understand the meaning behind it, she answered my words with a smile.‘I will be glad to have you under me.’ Her smile was pretty chilling, more bone-numbing than our father’s s

—I am older than her by 5 years, and I remember her looking at me from behind. Normally, one should feel happy to know that someone was looking at their back, admiring them, but that’s not the case with me.Every time I look back, turn to look at her over my shoulder, every time I caught her eyes, I can’t help but shudder:She feels the same as our father.We were only half-siblings. We have the same father, but that’s not the case with mothers.My mother died when I was four, then our father brought another woman into the house after that. That woman was Charlotte’s mother. She was warm and kind. I remember her talking to me a few times.‘Charles, even though you don’t have my blood, please think of me as your mother too.’ She said one time when I tried avoiding her in fear that she wanted me dead. That was what most people who wanted to seize my father’s power would do if they were in her position

It seems like someone pressed the pause button of the world; Althea felt everyone in the supermarket stopped moving.‘No.’ She thought to herself as she watched the blood slowly forming into a puddle beneath her feet. She can feel the hot liquid trailing down her legs. ‘This can’t be!’This day is supposedly like the normal days she had. Strolling around and buying things she thinks she wants. But in the middle of it, she just suddenly felt it come down.She’s only six months pregnant.“Oh my god!” A lady came to her, holding her shoulders in worry.

SPECIAL CHAPTER ONE: A Victim of Jealousy (07)—“A brothel?” Althea asked as soon as she entered the place. Her eyes wandered around and she felt overwhelmed by the red hue of the place. The lights, the atmosphere, the people. Everything here was new to her. She doesn’t know what to feel.“First time here?” The lady in heels asked. She gestured to someone far away by her hand and the other nodded before leaving their sight. “Don’t be nervous, you will only be entertaining guests… Why you don’t want to? It’s money, you know.”Selling myself. If it was her in the past, she would strongly disagree and storms off from here. But now, she has nothing but emptiness, she abandoned her pride and morals.

SPECIAL CHAPTER ONE: A Victim of Jealousy (06)“What happened to you?” Altheaopened her eyes and saw a fuzzy scene. There were heads in front of her peeking at her from above. Althea could not recognize the features of the faces, but she knew they were medical workers because of their uniforms. It was the uniforms that the nurses and the doctors wear that she sees every time she goes to the hospital for check-ups and visits to her father.“You have been stabilized…” She heard muffled voices as if she was submerged in an ocean, waters entering her ear canals. She tried to move, but her body was too heavy like lead. She gave up and remained still, still unable to do anything, not even talk.“The man who found you and sent you here already paid for the medical bills…”‘What are they talking about?’ Althea had no clue. ‘It seems important.

He dislikes being ignored despite ignoring people.He bends down and held her chin to look at him forcefully. “Hey, little mouse, I am asking you a question. Do you like it?”“...” She still had no response.With eyebrows raised, he stood up and stretched his arms. “Sigh! After all, we did to repaint the wall, that blood only amounted to that much. It wasn’t even able to cover one-fourth of the wall. So regrettable! Now, the little fierce rat is not fierce anymore…”He glanced down, his cold eyes looking at the woman who was sitting on the cold ground motionlessly. “She can’t even appreciate our
