I don’t know if I should explain to mom now or later, I’m panicking because they suddenly appeared in front of my apartment. “Surprise, Ely!!” I immediately looked down at Sam, he’s ten years old now, and currently in grade three. I approached him quickly and pinched his chubby cheeks, “Ouch! Ely!” he exclaimed but I continued.

“Oh, aren’t you going to let us in? We’ll just stand here?” mom said, I quickly reached out and took her hand, “God bless.”

“Mom, well, I need to explain first.” She might really slap me when she finds out I have a guy inside and I’m dressed like this, I’m sure of that, I know my mom, unless you’ve been nice to her and made a good impression, but they haven’t met yet.

“El, later, let us in first, it’s hot outside, hurry up, our bags are heavy.” I just sighed and sidestepped, widening the door a bit more, I closed it and followed them into the living room.

“Love, who’s that?” Shit! Both mom and Sam stopped walking, I was ready to slap mom. “Wow! You two know

    Our day passed quickly today, and it’s already night when Mama and the others left. I suggested they stay here for the night since their place is far, but they needed to go home. Jaxon also offered to drive them, Mama agreed but only until the bus station, then they’ll head straight to our corner. We stopped by the drive-thru, I suddenly craved for burger and fries, there wasn’t much of a line so we didn’t stay long. I was starting to feel cold because I was only wearing shorts and a shirt, I just put on a cap, while Jaxon was in six-pocket pants and a white shirt, he also had a black cap, I envy him. “You know Mama, love?” I asked while eating fries, I was just looking at the road, it was already a bit dark since it was already eight in the evening. He didn’t answer so I looked at him, he was holding his chest, my eyes widened because of that. “Hey, are you okay? Does your chest hurt?” I asked worriedly, he still didn’t answer so I started crying. “Love, why?” He parked on the sid

    “You what?” I think I misheard what he said. He stood up and pressed something on the remote, and the color of the glass window changed again. “Sorry, but I can’t risk the information I’m about to disclose,” I just nodded as he did that, once he made sure everything was okay, he sat beside me. “I’m scared to tell you this, once I disclose this to you, your life will also be in danger, and I don’t want anything dangerous to happen to you.” “I’ll be even more helpless if you don’t tell me, it’s difficult to navigate in the dark, Jaxon. Every day, my mind is filled with more questions, so please tell me, even just what I need to know.” He nodded in response, I heard his deep sigh. “It all started when I was twelve years old, when my Mom died from a shootout while my dad was on duty, he became so busy, he hardly had time for me, he was always quiet, as if he was thinking something deeper than usual. When I turned fourteen, that’s when I discovered the truth about my mom’s death.” He st

    I thought it was just a crush, I mean, it’s not impossible to like someone, but it turns out that I found my first love. I followed her like a fool around, while doing my mission, I’m saving her without her knowing. I must be dumb to feel happiness just by seeing her smile, seeing her safe. Five years have passed, and I’m still dumb. I parked my car far from the building I’m going into. I put on my receiver and opened my tracker. It’s been ten past midnight, I’m not going to let this person touch my woman, not in my wildest dream. I made my way to the exit of the building. I made sure there wasn’t anybody when I got in. I went straight to the staff room and stole a pair of uniforms, and wore my black mask. I turned left and bowed a little when I saw a CCTV camera on the right side. “There’s one camera facing exit number three.” “Hold on,” Niana answered. I continued walking, I even bumped into a couple of crew, they just gave me a nod, seems like tonight is a busy hour for them as

    “Jaxon, I need to go, I have to go to work!” We’ve been joking around here for a while now, I’m already ready and dressed, I need to go to work because I’ve been absent for two days. “Jaxon please, I’ll be late.” “Love, I can’t let you go until I find out who was following us yesterday.” I want to give in to him, but I really need to go to work, I feel sorry for my co-department who are left with the tasks that I should be doing. “Please?” I looked at him, he’s smiling, his eyes were hopeful. I smiled and kissed him. “Still a no.” I saw his face turn sad, but I just laughed and kissed him again, “Just accompany me, you have to look after me, since it’s your fault,” he stood up, so I hugged him, “You have to look after me, I know I have you.” Looks like he was not expecting that. But he managed to give me a warm smile, “Of course, I think I was born to protect you, for my whole life.” What the heck? “Cheesy!” he laughed and hugged me tighter, “Go, I’m giving you, uh,” I looked at m

    “Love, close your eyes, I have something for you,” I chuckled, this man will always be full of surprises, it’s like he always has something new he wants to do in his life, and I’m always the one he’s teasing. “Why again? Last time I closed my eyes, you put hot sauce on my nose.” I replied, it’s true, my nose turned all red, and instead of helping me, he just laughed at me, he even sang Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer, I ain’t talking to him. “You’re one to talk, the last time I closed my eyes, you left me! And you had my wallet and phone! I almost couldn’t get home!” I burst out laughing, you’d think he was about to cry, he was so upset back then, I laughed so hard, I got my revenge on him. “Come on, close your eyes.” I gave him a stern look before finally closing my eyes. I suddenly felt a cold metal thing on my neck. “Okay, open your eyes now.” So I did, I immediately grabbed what he put on me, it’s a gold necklace with a green something as the pendant. “What’s this for?” Is there

    I woke up feeling heavy, what happened? It felt like I was in a movie when I woke up, white walls, white room, white everything, there’s a purifier beside my bed, what am I doing here again? I felt the IV attached to me, that’s why I felt a bit itchy and painful. The door opened, a doctor with a nurse beside him came in, the nurse approached me and smiled, “Just checking your vitals, ma’am.” I nodded, still confused. “Doc, I’m okay.” “Good evening Mrs. Vanth.” My heart jumped for a while. “You do not need to worry, it’s very normal, you have to take care of yourself though, I’ll be prescribing vitamins for you.” I was confused by what he was saying. As far as I remember, I’m not sick. Are those vitamins for stress? “Wait doc, I’m not sick, and why are you calling me Mrs. Vanth? I’m not married, well, yet.” Who knows, maybe my ugly one will propose to me. I saw how confused he is, “Oh, I’m sorry, your friend brought you here early this afternoon, and based on your record, you are,”

    I felt the vibration of my phone so I opened my bag to look for it. It was Jc calling. I realized I hadn’t called him since I woke up, even though I’ve eaten and everything, I didn’t even inform Lukret. “Hel-” he immediately interrupted me. “Hey! Are you okay? Why aren’t you at the hospital? Did your husband take you? Hihi!” he teased, so I frowned. He’s crazy, as always. “You’re crazy! What did you say about me having a husband? I don’t even have a ring yet, and I’m already a wife? Are you jumping ahead?” I heard him chuckle. If he were here right now, I would have punched him. How annoying. “You’re pretending! I bet you’re thrilled, right?” he teased me more. I wanted to strangle him. “I’ll slap you, Jc. And what will you bet? You don’t even have a… you know.” I laughed as he shouted on the other line. “You’re so rude! Shut up! Get lost! Get lost!” he shouted, and I ended the call. I was happy to annoy him again. It’s funny to irritate him; I can imagine his face. He’s been m

    I woke up because my phone kept ringing on the side table. I looked at Jaxon’s spot, but he wasn’t there. Where is that man going at five in the morning? Hays. I rolled over and groped for my phone. It was Jc again, ugh! This human being! He’s so annoying! “What?” I answered grumpily. I really can’t control my mood these past few days, I get triggered so easily. “You’re such a bitch, you know that? We’re coming to your house! I brought fruits for my godchild!” I suddenly laughed at that. “Where are you now? Did you get rained on? Which house are we going to?” This guy is really crazy. “You’re crazy. We’re at Jaxon’s condo. Tell me when you’re here, I’ll come out.” I couldn’t tell him why he couldn’t come in right away. Two weeks after I told Jaxon about my pregnancy, I thought he wouldn’t accept it and would just disappear like a bubble, but his response was way too opposite from what I was expecting. He called his mom, his grandparents, even his friends. He paced around the room

    Catherine stumbled into the condo, her vision blurred from the tears that streamed down her face. Sin stood in front of her, his expression unreadable. Outside, the rain poured down in a relentless torrent, the sound of it drumming against the windows like a thousand tiny fingers. The sky was a dark, brooding mass of clouds, obscuring the moon and stars from view. The air was thick with moisture, the humidity making it feel like a sauna. The condo was a small, cozy space, with soft, dim lighting that cast a warm glow over the room. The walls were painted a soothing shade of blue, adorned with framed photographs of happier times. A plush couch sat in the center of the living room, facing a small television set. The floor was covered with a plush rug, soft underfoot.“Please, Catherine, you need to leave,” Sin pleaded, his voice tinged with frustration.Catherine shook her head, her voice trembling. “No, not until you tell me why. Why were you avoiding me all these years?” Catherine sto

But just as he reached for the doorknob, his mother’s voice echoed through the hallway.“Sin! Can you come here for a moment?”He froze, knowing that tone all too well. With a resigned sigh, he turned around and headed towards the living room where his mother and brothers were gathered. As he entered the room, he saw Catherine, his ten-year-old sister, sitting on the floor surrounded by coloring books and crayons.“What’s up?” Sin asked, trying to sound casual.“We’re having a bonding moment with Cath,” his mother said, gesturing towards the coloring materials. “We thought it would be nice for you to join us.”Sin glanced at Catherine, who looked up at him with big, hopeful eyes.
