In a world where marriage is the happy ending, Faith Kristen Flamera differs. After the tragic accident happened to Faith and to her sister, Faith didn't wish to live anymore as everyone around her hated and blamed her sister's death on her. Elijah Gray Luciero, on the other hand, has been in love with Faith’s sister. When Faith’s family was arranging her marriage, Elijah stepped up and married Faith. However, it is not because he likes her. It is because he hates her and he wants her to experience his wrath—or should we say, the hell where Faith will never want to live. How far would Elijah's hatred take him? Would Faith be able to melt his anger in return for love that Elijah never once thought? itsclarixass

I heard Lucas chuckled. “This bastard is really smart. He's not gonna let us find out so easily who he is,” “What do we do?” I asked. “I have a plan,” we all stopped when Detective Horan arrived with some of his men following him inside. They all looked exhausted but they are still doing their job to find Marie. Lily whistled. “Interesting. Let's talk about it,” “You should take a rest for a while. There's food in the dining room. You guys should eat first,” I might be so eager and in a hurry to find Marie as soon as possible, but I also care for their health. In order for them to look for Marie, they must have enough strength to do so. We let everyone rest for the meantime. Elijah and I went to our room just to spend some of our time together. We were back on the bed, cuddling, while staring at the empty ceilin
Chapter 101 With the days passed and we still had nothing to find Marie, I tried distracting myself for my own sake. But it is just really hard to do that, especially that I see all of them working so hard to look for her. “It's good to sit here early in the morning while drinking coffee,” Lily muttered. It's 6 am and we are both on the veranda, watching the peaceful view of the garden in front of us. There was still fog that covered the place a bit and I could still feel the cold that naturally comes every morning. There were no people working to find Marie yet. Well, this day is just about to begin. “Well, you're drinking milk.” I reminded her and we both chuckled with that. She was caressing her belly, which is already huge now. The aroma of my coffee is filling the entire veranda. I do love mornings like this, but I will love it more if Marie isn't in the hands of the culprit. I don't know what will happen today, but I hope we can find something that will lead us to Marie.
Chapter 100After the video was sent to us, I hired more people to look for Marie. Detective Horan didn't let his guards down, too. His entire team is working their fingers to the bone to find Marie. The video that we watched kept playing in my head. That bastard punched Marie and it crumpled my chest all the time. She did nothing wrong in life to deserve things like this. “I should have just come with her,” I said with so many regrets. I should have just disregarded my meetings so I could be with her. If I didn't let her enroll by herself, she would not be in that culprit’s hand. She would not experience that kind of thing in her life.“It happened for a reason,” Elijah said while holding my hand. We are outside the clinic of my Psychiatrist. I am here for another check up and I would not be surprised if she says that I am not getting any better. I have been stressed with everything and I could not even make a good sleep. “What reason?” I glanced at him bitterly.I don't see any
Chapter 99 “Marie is with me, Faith…if you want to find her, let's play hide and seek.” My entire body turned cold the moment I heard that unfamiliar baritone voice. “M-Ms. Faith…d-don’t come here! He will kill you! He will kill all of you! J-Just let me die here! D-Don’t come and sav—”“Shut up, you fucking bitch!” “Marie! Don't hurt her! Fuck you!” I screamed along with my tears that began to invade my face. “What's happening?” Elijah asked who couldn't understand everything that was going on. I eyed him with my scared eyes. I'm terrified of Marie's situation now that she is in the hands of the culprit. I clearly heard how the damn bastard laid his hand to Marie and I could not do anything but scream over the phone. “It's about time to face me, Faith. I'm giving you a month to find me and if you failed, I'm gonna kill this little maid of yours,” “FUCK YOU! DON'T YOU DARE TO TOUCH HER!” I was growling like a monster with my hands clenched on my desk. I was holding the phone
Chapter 98 “Wait, wait…are you telling me that the detective is a possible suspect?” Lucas asked, looking so befuddled. “Well, it's kinda weird to say that Freya is kind even in highschool when he doesn't even know Freya, right?” Lily said, full of confusion. I have been thinking about what he said to us. Can he really be the culprit? Is he playing with us? “Think of it, he hasn't got any while investigating. The only information he got was the one about Marie,” Brian bit his lower lip while thinking deeply. We all look like solving a damn puzzle.“He framed her,” Elijah mumbled. “I called my secretary. I told her to find me a new detective, a secret one, you know. I also asked her to do some research about him,” I don't know if we are taking the right lead. But I have a strong feeling that the detective has something to do with all this mess. The question is why is he doing this to us? I don't even know him. “Do you guys know him?” Lucas asked, still stuck in the hospital bed.
Chapter 97“M-Marie…” I uttered weakly. “She’s not the culprit.” I threw my eyes to the three of them with a glimpse of anger. I told them so many times that she was innocent, and yet, none of them listened. My world collided even more now that I proved that Marie is innocent. She is not the fucking culprit and she's paying for that bastard’s sins. “I-It can't be…maybe s-she escaped! Or perhaps she still has people outside,” I eyed Lily unbelievably. Seriously? She's still accusing her? “What the fuck, Lily?! She's in fucking jail!” I was shaking with rage towards them. I knew that she was innocent and I should have listened to myself since the beginning. My heart is breaking to think that she suffered there for a week already without doing anything wrong! “I told you a million times that Marie is innocent! You all didn't fucking listen to me!” I slammed the table with my hand. I was burning because of my anger bursting out. I washed my hands on my face, getting feeble. I could
Chapter 96Ever since Marie left the house, I knew that there was a big part of me that was taken away. I felt like I was incomplete and the house suddenly felt empty without her presence.It's been a week since I went to the jail to see her. Every night, I couldn't erase her face on the roof of our room. The image of her from the last time we saw each other was painted in my head. It was clenching my heart. For some reason, up until now, I feel like something is still wrong. I should be mad at her, but I don't know why I seem like I can't hate her. What if they were wrong? What if she was really telling me the truth? I would hate myself so much if she's really innocent. I let her suffer in that dark face instead of believing her. “What are you thinking?” I almost got startled when Elijah suddenly appeared behind me and embraced me from there. I was on the balcony, watching the sky once again. “Do you want me to be honest?” I asked. I escaped his arms only to face him. “Of course
Chapter 95I didn't know how to break the silence. None of them dared to break it either. Marie? Can she really do that? Can she betray me? We have been together in this house. She has been with me all along. She was there when I had no one to hold onto. She cried with me and she mourned with me. My lips curled up as I shook my head. “No way,” that was firm. I don't believe it. Everyone would betray me, but not Marie. She won't do that to me because she cares for me. I saw it from her eyes through those days that she didn't leave me. I know that her emotions were real! “Faith,” from the tone of Lucas' voice, I know that he's telling me that Marie is really the culprit. But no, I refused to believe that. “It's her,” Lily uttered. She didn't step back as I threw my gaze at her, unlike Brian who couldn't even give me a single glance. “We're as surprised as you. But that is already a huge evidence to put her behind the bars,” I let out a bitter chuckle and kept shaking my head. “No,
Chapter 94 The day I woke up from attempting suicide was the day I was able to climb the mountain of death again. I had reasons to live even though I still wish to just die. Days had passed since I woke up. I was diagnosed with depression so I had to stay in the hospital for the meantime with the psychiatrist that they gave to me. It was a severe depression but gradually, I was able to erase in my head the choice that I should never consider: death. The psychiatrist gave me anti-depressant to take. I would not say that it's working on me because each day that is passing, I still feel like dying. Everytime that I see Elijah, that's when I am reminded that I have to live for this man. He was consistent with me. He never leaves my side even though he has work. He makes sure that I will eat and I can see how much he's trying to make me happy. He's always here to tell me different stories about how his day went and the things that I am missing. He's also pushing me to speak even just a
Prologue Do you hear it? I hear it. The deafening ambulance’s sound that shatters my eardrums. I can hear voices from different people but I don't understand a word. Have you ever been under the water and you cannot hear everything vividly? That's exactly how it feels. It feels like I am under the water and my ears are filled with water that I don't understand what they were saying. The sky, I see the sky. It was bright—too bright that it blinds my eyes. I see unfamiliar faces staring at me, but I couldn't identify any of them. They were too blurred for me. My body. I couldn't feel a thing; I can't feel my own body like I was numb. What's happening? Where am I? “FREYA!” Perhaps, I went out under the water. That's the only thing I heard clearly. Slowly, my eyes landed on a very familiar woman crying over someone. Along with the loud sound of the ambulance, her shattering voice and cry invaded my ears as if she was mourning. I couldn't move, not even my fingers. The next th...
