Ann ran to the cliff where she could sit and cry her heart out only to discover that she had been beaten to it. She noticed someone dressed all in white, sitting at the end of the cliff with one leg raised up and his left hand supported on it, then his right leg hanging down the cliff as his back was facing her. His hair was all black and she had a feeling of déja-vu, despite the fact that she was yet to see his face.
She walked slowly, to avoid scaring him and causing him to jump off the cliff. If it were her, she would have done so and that’s why she didn’t want to scare him off.As she came closer, she noticed the side of his face and it reminded her of a particular someone. Someone who held a special place in her heart after the very first time that she met him. She tried to look at his face from where she stood not wanting to go close but he kept turning his head like he already knew that she was around. She sig

EXCERPT (From 2 and more chapters ahead) "Hush! Don't cry. Everything will be alright." Manuel tried to comfort
Never to see her cry again “Manuel! Manuel!” A soft voice cried as she saw Manuel lying on the floor in his own pool of blood, coughing out some more blood to add to the much blood that already covered the floor. “A-A-Ann!” Manuel managed to ay as he was struggling for his life. “Don’t say anything, Manuel. Just stay calm for me, ok. You have to pull through this… you have to stay strong for us.” She added while whimpering. She struggled with him, carrying him up so they could go to the hospital… ***AT THE HOSPITAL*** Ann paced up and down as she awaited the doctor to come out of the emergency ward. Reporters stood outside the hospital as the security tried to hold them back. The evening was really a cold and terrible one. *(3 MONTHS EARLIER)* “Manuel, the drug effects are already wearing out. Soon the drugs will have no effects anym
Who Is That Guy?“Ann, didn’t you get what you want yet?” Lea asked, scratching her head and fidgeting with her eyes.“Jeez, Lea. Everything here looks so perfect. I am trying to find something but I just can’t.” Ann’s eyes just looked around the numerous female wears. Her eyes scanned them with desire and she didn’t know which one to chose. Those baby eyes of hers were feasting, a feast of a lifetime.Also, she looked at Lea and saw the tiredness that was written over her face. Although she chuckled at the sight but yet, she was baffled at the fact that Lea’s long hours of sleep didn’t have an effect on her. She was certain that Lea was going to be the first to wake up and not her.Thinking about the previous night, she couldn’t help the loud thuds of her heartbeat. She smiled as her mind begun replaying
Manuel walked out of the mall with a smile on his face. He had removed the nose mask and was now walking freely to the secret doorway. Richard saw this and gasped for it was the first time that he was seeing his boss smile elsewhere aside from his mother’s presence and probably his own presence. He didn’t know what to say to his friend and just chuckled as he looked back at his friend who was busy walking to the car with a smile. He didn’t want to ruin the moment by asking questions so he just stood there at the door and ordered that the security team prepare since they were leaving. When Manuel wanted to make use of this particular shopping mall of his, he ordered that the mall be closed. He patiently waited at the back of the mall to enter once the mall was closed and then the head of the security team ushered him in, assuring him that everyone who was in the mall was out. Once he got in, he went s
Manuel sat in the car enjoying his ride back home and playing some of his favorite tunes when the radio of the car tuned to an unexpected destination, a channel he didn’t like at all. “Welcome to Refine radio station, 97.2 FM. We have our TV channel which is currently channel 79 on TV station. We are here once more with some exciting news for you. Headliners first, Han Manuel, the heir to Han Empire will be turning 23 in a few months, rumors has it that he will officially be the owner of Han Empire by then.” Manuel just sighed. Richard tried changing the channel but Manuel decided to listen to the news just a little. “The sole bridge linking Town K and Town N collapsed this morning with 2 casualties and two deads. Former Minister of State was arrested for embezzlement of state mone, part of which he already started using. He is under severe torture to explain where he hid the rest of the money, accor
Manuel took his mom to the room where she was now resting. He came down the stairs and met his best friend Richard making calls. His face was no longer as pale as before. He was very better seeing that his mom had become calm. For a woman who wasn’t suffering physically, she was suffering emotionally and it pained Manu even more. How will she survive when he dies? He looked at Richard and smiled. His best friend was always there with him and maybe Richard will be there for her! No! Richard will be there for her. He will be the Manu in her life. Richard loved Leera like his own mom and Manuel knew that there was no better person to entrust his family in, except his best friend Richard. That was another reason why he kept Richard busy as his assistant because once he died, Richard will be the one to take over and take care of his mother. If he had a choice, he would have decided against it but that was
Annabel Wen, I didn’t raise you to be such a rascal.” Ann’s mom scolded her. Lea mistakenly spoke about the fact that everyone left the mall but Ann hid under dresses. “Mom!” Ann cried as her mom kept pulling her ears. She was feeling pains but hehe, she was definitely going to punish Lea for spilling the beans. Lea knew fully well that she was in for trouble as Ann was being pulled by the ear. “Mom, it’s not just me. Lea was in the mall with me when all these happened. She didn’t even tell me that everyone was walking out of the mall.” 'Oh boy I’m dead.’ Lea made a mental note and before she knew it, Ann’s mom used her other hand to pull Lea’s ears. Lea started to cry like Ann as the mother kept pulling their ears. “You stubborn kids, we raised you better, Margaret and I and here you are, being stubborn and foolish. Did it even occur to you that there were security cameras around and they co
Time passed by quickly and it was 6 pm already. Ann was dressed in a sky blue trumpet, halter-neck gown. It went slightly below her hips, straight, and then flared down to her ankle. Instead of heels, she wore flats and tied her hair in two pigtails. She looked…“Horrible! You look horrible Annie.” Lea groaned angrily. Ann’s two pigtails made her look like a kid and the shoes… well the shoes were manageable. Lea on the other hand was putting on a purple body-hugging gown that barely crossed her knees and matched it with black heels that had purple stripes on them. She had bought the dress using Brent’s card and although she cried that she spent his money, she was happy that the dress enhanced her beauty. She didn’t tie the hair but rather left it loose but wavy, with a pin on the left. Her makeup wasn’t much since she didn’t want so much attention.“You look beautiful, Lea. Brent
