AMORE woke up to a noise coming from outside. Her eyes flutters as she look around, and her eyes fixes on the door that was closed but is now open. Someone opened it.For a long time, she was surrounded by darkness and she was already accustomed to it. But now that her eyes catches a glimpse of light, its like giving her a new chapter of life that has been sorrowed by darkness. For the time that she was in the dark, she have lost hope of even getting out of that place alive.“Get up there and eat the food I put on the small table. Finish that quickly. We need to go somewhere,” said the man who opened the door. Her eyes fixes on the man, her lips quiver. This man is the reaason why she’s in that small, dirty, and smelly room where she experienced a living hell. Amore didn’t imagine that she will experience hell this early of her life. And what’s more hurtening is the fact that the man in front of her is somewhat her b
WHILE they are walking, Amore is thinking of a way to get away from her uncle. She knows that it’s seems impossible due to tight security and secluded place they are in, but she have to do something in order for her to be free. It’s do or die for her. Because she’d rather be dead than being with someone whom she knows that she will experience another hell again.They made it out of the house, and again for many months has passed, Amore got to see the outside world again. But before she can even feast on the surroundings, her uncle shoved her inside the car. There was two other men at the backseat, and Amore was seated beside the driver’s seat whom her uncle is now sitting who started the car immediately and started driving.“Boss, don’t forget about my share, okay?” one of the men at the backseat said.“Of course, we will have ours too,” the other man commented and laugh.“Shut u
AMORE found herself in the darkness, and suddenly she found herself writhing in pain on the floor as someone keeps on kicking her.“Uncle Robert, it hurts! Please stop it! I want to go home now! Please—” Amore was stopped from talking when her uncle grab her chin and made her look at his eyes, devilish eyes.“Listen Amore, you will never ever get out of this place from now on. So just be a good girl and stop doing things that will make me angry if you want me to stop from hurting you. Do you understand that?” her uncle said as its eyes are glaring at her.Amore who was just taken into the basement couldn’t stop herself from crying and just nodded at what her uncle said.“Good,” her uncle said while smirking and got out of the room.“No… I don’t want to be here… I already got away! Why am I here?! No!&rdquo
AMORE woke up and found herself lying on a soft mattress. Her eyes flutters and she immediately remembered what happened earlier. And so, she instantly rose from lying on the bed and roam her eyes on her surroundings.She’s not in that interrogation room anymore. She’s now inside a luxiorious room, so different from what she’s used to.The door suddenly opened that made Amore lost her attention on the room. One of the man that she have seen earlier, came inside. It was the man who haven’t talk.Amore thought that she will be brought to the interrogation room again. But the man smiled at her that made her baffled.“Oh, you’re awake. Here, take this and eat,” the man said as he walk across the room while carrying a plate with food on it. He put it on the side table.“After you’re done eating, take care of yourself. There’s a bathroom in here. You can find some clothes in tha
“PLEASE… just kill me already!” Amore pleaded as tears started falling from her eyes. Amadeus couldn’t understand himself. When he heard Amore say those words, there was a sudden foreign emotion that creeps into his system. He doesn’t like what he’s hearing. He masked those foreign emotions by thinking that he didn’t like the way this woman is ordering him around. ‘Hell, who is she for me to follow her order?’ Amadeus thought. And just when he’s about to get up, Amore clung to his arms. And there, Amadeus felt a strange emotion again and he’s not liking it. Amadeus gave her a death glare, “Let go of my arm, woman,” said Amadeus in a cold voice. Amore then slowly let go of his arms. Amadeus immediately move away from her and stood beside the bed while still giving her the cold shoulder. “So, that’s your technique? To seduce the man and kill him afterward? Nice try, but that won’t work on me,” Amadeus said and gave her a death glare before he started walking out of the room. ‘Nice tr
AMADEUS hurried and made his way upstairs, and before he reached where the room of Amore is. He saw one of the housekeepers crying in front of the door. And that made Amadeus baffled, so he continued walking and Cali and the others are following him. When they arrived inside the room, what they saw is shattered glasses on the floor and dried blood on the floor. Also, Amore’s body is laying on the floor full of blood. “What the… hell?” Baron commented after they saw the scene inside. “Did she kill herself?” Cali commented. While Amadeus couldn’t move as he stares at her. He couldn’t think properly about what to do. ‘Did she really kill herself?’ he thought. When he regained himself he immediately ordered them, “Call Xavier, NOW!” And he walks toward Amore and brings her to her arms and immediately moved out of the room and down the stairs. “Xavier get in front of the hideout now!” Cali called one of their comrade, their medical expert. While Amadeus doesn’t have a care about his
AMORE slowly woke up as her eyes flutters adjusting to the light. She then slowly roams her eyes to her surroundings. ‘Where am I? Am I finally dead?’ she said in her mind.She then smelled that familiar smell when she got hospitalized because of that accident. And so, she then realized that she was inside a hospital. Amore looks at herself, she’s wearing a hospital gown as her hands and some parts of her feet are wrapped in gauze.Amore rose from lying down on the bed, she then tried to stand up. But then, she doesn’t have any strength to do that. She fell to the floor, and at the same time, the door in her room opened.The man whom she saw first in that house came inside. She doesn’t know his name, but the man immediately walks to her side and helped her to stand up.“Xavier told us that you need to rest first. Don’t tire yourself,” the man said as he guided her back to the hospital bed.“Here, drink some water,” the man added. Amore looks at him. He’s the only one who’s showing her
AMORE look up at Amadeus when she heard what he said. And then she asked, “Killed or be freed? So, what’s the verdict now?”“You can do whatever you want after this, woman. You’re free,” Amadeus replied and walked out of the room leaving Amore speechless.Amore stared out of space, that last word he said kept ringing in her head. Free.‘Am I really free now? But what does that free mean to me? Having to live my life normally? Get to spend the years I lost? Being able to stay under the sun without the fear of getting caught? Would that be it?’ Amore’s restless thoughts at that moment.“B-But why… w-why it doesn’t g-give me j-joy?” Amore broke down and tears started falling from her eyes. She wipes her tears with the back of her hand. But she can’t wipe all of it. And so, she tried to walk toward the bathroom. As she takes a step, her feet tremble.
THE dining room was lively with the number of people in there that night. Amore just replies with a smile whenever she is involved in the conversation. She was slowly getting comfortable with everyone, but there was someone that give her some foreign feeling—Amadeus. The man keeps on glancing at her with a stare that seems to be unfolding her inside out.“Don’t mind him.” Amore was slightly surprised when Xavier suddenly whispered to her. She looks at her and just nodded and continued eating.“Your cooking is really the best, madam!” Drake complimented Amadeus’ mother.“Well? That is something I can’t deny!” Mrs. Donovan joked and everyone erupted into laughter.Well, Drake was right. This is probably the most delicious dish Amore tasted since she found herself back in her uncle’s basement. Amore closed her eyes and shook her head to stop thinking about him. When she opened her eyes, she saw Mrs. Donovan looking at her with a warm smile.“Did you like it too, Amore?” she asked.“Yes,
“WHAT have you done?!” it was the first thing that Amadeus heard from his father. Amadeus remained composed and walk toward the sofa and took a sit.“Don’t you dare act like it was nothing, Amadeus. What you did was crazy as hell! This is unforgivable. Knowing about it is making me embarrassed to face Alec,” Amadeus’ father added while stroking the side of its head like he’s having a headache.“I apologize, dad. I just didn’t know about the relationship you had with Amore’s father. If I had known about it, this should have not happened,” Amadeus’ responded. Well, he is indeed feeling guilty because of what he did to Amore even way before he knew about the relationship between his father and hers.Amadeus’ father just shook his head like he had enough and said, “Fine, I know that what happened is not entirely your fault. But you should now know that her father was not just some man we have. He was my right-hand man, a person whom I trust.” Amadeus looked at his father when he hinted at
Although Amadeus was not cleaning their own mess, being in the mafia world is prone to having to deal with dangerous and stomach-turning works. But what stands their organization among the rest is that they stand at the top, and what drove them to the top is not the greed for power, but for vengeance. Those fools did something to Amadeus, to his family, that ended in an incident that they will never forget and will never forgive. That incident made them who they are now in the mafia world, cold-blooded and bloodthirst.“Welcome back, madam and sir,” Cali courteously greeted Amadeus’ parents. The others also greeted them.“Aunt and Uncle, finally, you both are back!” Xavier greeted Amadeus’ parents, he just descended the stairs. And following him was…Amadeus was struck while looking at Amore who’s slowly making her way down the stairs and consciously stops behind Xavier. She still looks tired and stressed out. Amadeus caught his breath when Amore caught him staring at her, Amadeus imm
AMADEUS gets his pistol from his drawer and made his way to the living room as the other guys followed him. As they followed him, Amadeus can hear their snickers and whispers. He stopped on his tracks and loaded his gun, and without turning back, he said, “Will you all stop with the silly actions or you all want holes painted in your bodies?”“Chill out, Amadeus! We’re just fooling around!” Baron first opt out and pushes Drake towards Amadeus.“Don’t push me, man!” Drake grunted.Amadeus gritted his teeth and face the jerks and gave them a death glare. He then pull down the magazine of his gun and acted like counting the bullets inside it.“Hmm, this bullets will all be enough to leave a hole in each of you,” Amadeus’ remarked as he insert back the magazine.“You both are getting us all killed, stupids. Don’t mind them, Amadeus, let’s just get to the point of this meeting,” Cali stated as he adjusted his glasses on his eyes.Amadeus sighed and continued walking to the living room as t

She wipes her tears with the back of her hand. But she can’t wipe all of it. And so, she tried to walk toward the bathroom. As she takes a step, her feet tremble.
