CHAPTER 60—Money in exchange for Rain

Azariah's Point of View

"WHAT'S THE NEWS with Rain?" I asked Migs and Kean who had just arrived. It's been three days since Rain was kidnapped by men whose plot we don't know. When Uncle Elmer called my mommy about what happened to my cousin, we immediately went to their house with Aliona and her father, Uncle Eliseo.

Kean took a deep breath. "Still the same. We still have no idea but we have asked for help from other police officers."

Aliona was sitting next to me with her head down and was in tears again. She stood up later and said goodbye to us, "I'm going to go to Auntie Cathy's room first."

I nodded. I know that Rain's mommy can't be alone because since she found out what happened to her daughter, she has been crying non-stop. Until she lost consciousness because she didn't sleep, she didn't eat either. Rain's daddy left earlier to visit Ali at the hospital.

We are very thankful that Ali was not praised. That's all, he had to rest in the hos

I seem to have a desire to read there.I shook my head. I don't want to think about anything right now because it doesn't help.The man sat in front of me. "You know, you're beautiful. Do you have a boyfriend?" asked the man.My heart beat loudly. I shook my head. "W-why?"He laughed. "Nothing," he said, then raised one hand and was about to touch my cheek.I immediately avoided it, causing the man to laugh even more. "Just calm down. I won't do anything bad to you." He stood up and walked to the door. Before it came out, it looked at me.I just bowed. I want to leave this place but how? I don't know where I am. I don't even know how. All I can do now is cry because I really don't know how to save myself.'Ali, help me...' I just said and cried silently in that dark room.AZARIAH'S POVI JUST sto

    CHAPTER 62—A Little HopeRain's Point of ViewI BREATHED a little when the man removed the cloth from my head. The whole place where we were was dark. It is almost the same as the place where we came from but its space is bigger compared to the one that was removed.My hair is a mess and my hands are dirty as well as the clothes I am wearing. I watched the man take an old chair and pull it into a corner. I just watched his every move until he came to me and held me by the arm.He guided me to the chair and sat there.The next thing I noticed was the approach of the man who left earlier. It already had a string and handed it to the companion. "Oh, here's the rope. Tie it!""I'm really the one to tie the knot?" asked a man who seemed to have lost his composure.I heard the newcomer laugh then took back the rope from the other person and started tying me to the chair. It looked at me from time to time. It wears a face mask and only its eyes are visible. I think these two seem to be my ag

    CHAPTER 63—Is That Him?Rain's Point of ViewI DON'T remember how long I slept. If my neck hadn't been hooked I wouldn't have woken up from sleep. I am still in the place where the kidnappers took me.I want to cry again because I'm so scared because it's getting dark again. I can see it outside the window. I silently prayed that the hardship I was experiencing now would end.I turned to the door when it opened and a kidnapper entered. He smiled when he looked at me. "You're awake. How was your sleep?" His question seemed to have a teasing tone."W-what time is it? Is it true that I'm going to see my parents?" There was a trace of fear on my face when I was asked that matter.He seems to have thought. "Yes. If they follow what my boss wants. If they bring the money, they can get you, but if they don't, they won't. It's that simple."The nervousness in my chest did not go away but became stronger. I don't know if my parents will be able to bring that much money in exchange for my life.

    CHAPTER 64—Who is Behind?Azariah's Point of ViewI STOOD up when I heard what Ali said. Aliona, Migs, Kean and Von and I looked at each other who were also against the idea.We were the only ones in the living room at that time because Rain's parents were busy arranging the ransom money."Are you delirious because of the amount of anesthesia injected into your body, Ali? Maybe you're forgetting, it's been less than a week since you were shot!" Migs said with a frown."Are you suicidal? What if your stitches come open? What if you get an infection?" Kean asked with a look of disbelief in his face."What do you want me to do? Just rely on the police to save my girlfriend?" He looked at Kean."Because that's the right thing to do, Ali. Also, Sir Elmer has already talked to the police. He's with them."Ali shook his head. "No. I won't allow myself to not be the one to save Rain. I'll be the one to face those stupid kidnappers." Ali was sitting on the sofa so when Kean and Migs stood in f

    CHAPTER 65—In The HospitalRain's Point of ViewWHEN Ali got out of that room, I immediately locked the door. I have to do whatever he says to ensure my safety. I'll just wait for my cousin to save me from here.I was trembling while waiting inside the room. I silently pray that Ali will succeed in what he does outside. I hope nothing bad happened to him fighting the bad guys who took me.After a few moments, I heard someone knocking on the door. I slowly approached it while looking at the door lock. I was nervous because it might not be my cousin. I looked inside the room for someone who could beat whoever was outside. I saw a piece of wood behind the door and I immediately picked it up.I held it tightly as I slowly approached the door. "Who is that?" I asked."Rain!? Is that you?" It was Gianna's voice."Gianna?""Open the door, Rain. Hurry up!"I immediately obeyed her orders. I was a little surprised to see that she was wearing a black shirt and black pants. She has boots and hai

    CHAPTER 66—Will Do EverythingRain's Point of View"D-DADDY!" I immediately hugged my father then started crying like a child. I feel daddy's every caress on my back and hair."Stay home, Rain. Daddy is here. You are safe now," he said, then kissed me on the forehead. He even held me on both cheeks. "Tell me, what did they do to you?" There was concern in his voice but in his eyes, I could read anger there.I couldn't speak. To be honest, I still feel pain every time I remember the days and nights I was there in the hands of the kidnappers. It was like a nightmare that I don't want to relive or even think about. I just cried more."Where's mommy?" I asked as I somehow calmed down from crying."He's at home. I didn't allow him to come with me because there might be something else. He really wanted to come here but I told him to wait for you here." It looked at me. It seemed like every corner and part of my body was being studied to see where I was injured. It's jaw clenched. "I can't m

    CHAPTER 67— The Real StatusRain's Point of ViewTWO DAYS have passed since I was rescued from the kidnappers and I returned home. It took a long time because my daddy didn't want me to go home with more pain in my body. This ensured that I was in good health while Ali remained in the hospital.My mommy gave me a tight hug as well as my cousins who were still crying. I know that they are just happy but Azariah's cry is different. She is also sorry even though it is not his fault."You look broken. You keep saying sorry, it's not your fault!" I said while stroking the head of my cousin who was hugging me."Just let your cousin. She must have missed you," said my mommy who was now holding one of my hands. "Rain, are you sure there's nothing wrong or hurt you?"I nodded. "Yes, mommy. Daddy would not agree if my doctor said that I still have pain. Daddy is very strict," I said then turned to my father who was smiling."Rain, I'm just making sure you're feeling fine. You know you're our on

    CHAPTER 68— First Time To TryRain's Point of ViewWHILE we were in front of the dining table, my companions occasionally asked me what I went through at the hands of the kidnappers. At first I didn't want to talk about it but I had to face my fear. I can't just hide it from my family forever. That's why I have the courage to talk about them.They became emotional when I told them that I almost lost hope, especially when I heard from the kidnappers that Ali was dead."I felt like I was going to follow Ali. I thought I was going to die there," I said with tears running down my cheeks. I immediately wiped it off."Rain, we won't let that happen. Ali is strong. Even the doctors are surprised because Ali's internal organs seem to have a mind of their own because none of them were hit."My daddy spoke in amazement. "It's good that Ali is like that. Because that one has a whole heart. I wouldn't be surprised if he's mom's favorite. He's very dedicated to work and of course, Rain. We really

    CHAPTER 108—Who's Behind It?Rain's Point of ViewWhile Von and Azariah were grilling and Ali was playing guitar. We both sing and I can truly say that Ali's voice is beautiful. I was embarrassed because my voice wasn't that good, but he tried to make me sing."You have a beautiful voice, Rain. Who said you don't have a good voice?" asked Azariah. It seems that he has been hearing me say that my voice is not good.I didn't answer right away. I honestly don't remember who told me when I was young that my voice was not beautiful. They said it's better if I just dance because my body is a bit soft."I don't remember who Uncle Eliseo told me or who he was talking to at that time. I was still young when they told me that. Then those who heard laughed." I don't want to say these things anymore because it's been a long time. I'm still young."Ah, so it's Uncle. Maybe he didn't want you anymore that's why he said that.""Maybe he's just joking," I said.Azariah stopped turning the squids that

    CHAPTER 107—Ali's Way of FightingRain's Point of ViewI was almost surprised when I felt Ali's arm wrap around my waist and I turned to him. There was a tinge of concern on his face as he looked at me. I frowned. "What's the problem?" I will ask."You are the one I asked. What's the problem? Why do you look like that?” Ali even held my cheek and squeezed it a little. "You look like you just got back from crying. Did you cry?" he asked me.I smiled at him, still seeing the white teeth. "Yes, I am really fine. Don't worry about me." I took his hand from his grip on me."Why is that red and it looks like you just got back from crying?""Nothing. Believe me. Azariah and I just talked and my heart was touched by him. That's because my cousin is so smart. I have nothing more to say to him.”Ali nodded slowly. "You're right there. What Aliona and Apollo's attitude was bad, Azariah was kind. And another thing is that I can see how much he loves Von.""They're both sweet too, aren't they?" I

    CHAPTER 106—Thankful and GratefulRain's Point of ViewWe were very happy with the sea water while we were on the boat. There was a steward who maneuvered the boat so that we could sail smoothly in the ocean.Ali was next to me as I leaned on him slightly. He holds my hands. It should be so peaceful. Fortunately, the boat we were on had a roof so we were not directly exposed to the sun."Are you okay?" Ali asked me.I didn't answer right away. I've been bothered by things for a while now but I don't want to ask Ali. Do I feel that he will get annoyed with me if I keep asking him questions? All the things that happen to us make me question why it happens.I sighed before trying to smile at him. "I'm fine. Nothing will happen if I'm not going to be okay, right?”Ali squeezed my hand. "That's right. Whatever you're thinking, put your worries away because I won't leave you. You and your family."I looked him in the eyes. "I know that. I also know that you will do everything just to make s

    CHAPTER 105—ExcitementRain's Point of View"So, Daddy said we can't leave the rest house for now. It's like we're locked down, right?" I asked as I held Ali's arm. We walk on the beach watching the sunrise.Azariah and Von were with us earlier but they said goodbye to go to the gym so Ali and I continued walking. From a distance we could see the guards watching over us."Yes. That's how it is. Such an idea is boring and annoying, but we need it to ensure that you and your entire family are safe."I leaned my head on Ali's shoulder. "I understand. Thank you, Ali?”"For what?""For taking care of me and my family.""You are always welcome. I will do everything to ensure your safety." I felt him kiss my forehead so I closed my eyes.It feels so good to be cared for and protected by the person I love. I can't ask for anything else because I feel his love for me.“Would you like us to have breakfast? The cook at the rest house must have cooked." Earlier, before we left, I talked to our co

    CHAPTER 104—He's Back!Rain's Point of View"Have you talked to Ali again?" I asked while we were in the middle of dinner. To be honest, we all had almost no appetite to eat. The food on the plates doesn't move because they seem to be touching each other."Not yet. Von said the last time we talked earlier that their phones were low on battery. They will go out to buy a charger,” answered Azariah."Do you think, Dad, can they come here to the rest house?" I asked while my attention was on daddy. Even my companions are also looking here.Before dad bowed and he bowed and took a deep breath. He looked at me. "It is possible, Rain, but they themselves said that they will not come here. Because they need to be sure that no one can follow them. Ali and Von just want us to be on the list, especially you and Azariah.” Dad exchanged glances with my cousin and me.I felt Azariah grab me with a free hand that wasn't holding the cutlery."Your daddy is right, Rain," said mom. He gave me a smile t

  • La Arma's Heir   CHAPTER 103—Fear

    CHAPTER 103—FearRain's Point of ViewI was so nervous to do what Elise and I had planned. Azarian also helped us and Von knew the plan. Von was our helper to somehow keep Ali away and not notice what we were planning to do. I took a deep breath. I took a shower and put on light makeup. I dried my hair with a hair blower and just put a gold hair clip on it.I was in front of the mirror trying to study the smile. No matter what I do, I smile and the nervous feeling is still on my face. A part of my heart is also afraid that the plans might come to nothing. Maybe Ali is mad at me and won't accept my apology.When I found out about Elise's true personality, I felt very guilty. I feel like I have a very bad girlfriend. The type that I don't trust the most loved one who did nothing but ensure my safety. My heart sank again because I felt sorry for Ali. I even asked myself if it was worth it for Ali to love me even though I hurt him because I was jealous.Elise says that my feelings are val

    CHAPTER 102—Elise's PlanRain's Point of ViewAs dad said, we will tie up at the rest house first. Our other relatives didn't know that, even Aunty Merceditas. Azariah just got why I can say that that house is really secret. As far as I can remember, I have only been there twice.That rest house is nice. It's on the side of the beach and it's quiet. There aren't many houses around us so it's like that. Also far from civilization. When we got out of the car, I was so amazed.I rode in dad and mom's car while Von, Azariah and Elise rode in Ali's car. Earlier Dad forced me to ride there but I refused. I really don't want to see or be with Ali. We didn't break up but I think that's the way it is.Am I hurt? Of course. Just last night I cried and cried and fell asleep doing that. When I woke up earlier, my eyes were very swollen. I wanted to laugh because we didn't break up but I cried. It's my fault because I'm stubborn. I don't listen to Ali's reasons but it's not because I can invalida

    CHAPTER 101—SpaceRain's Point of ViewBecause my ankle was swollen due to a pinched nerve, I really had to be given first aid. I just cried when the doctor tried to move my leg. Maybe it took pity on me, it just let me rest and calm down. Fortunately, Azariah doesn't let go of me and I cry to him. My leg was bandaged and then I was helped to position myself on top of the bed.Dad got a private room and there was a security guard assigned outside the door. The security is very tight to prevent what happened earlier in our house.Because the doctor gave me medicine, I fell asleep. It's a good thing because somehow I didn't feel the pain in my foot. It is elevated so that it cannot be moved. When I woke up I had a faint voice that was heard in the room where I was. When I opened my eyes, I immediately saw Ali talking to Von and Azariah. Elise was also there and sitting. Ali and Elise are not next to each other but I'm annoyed. I got annoyed.I moved and tried to get up but my leg hurt c

    CHAPTER 100—Loud Gunshots Rain's Point of ViewSince I wasn't in the mood earlier after working out, I didn't feel like eating breakfast either. I didn't go with my parents because Ali, Elise, Von and Azariah were with them. Mom just sent food to my room but I didn't touch it. It's just on the table and I have no intention of eating. I only drank the milk and I'm fine with that.I just left my room bored. First, I will air in the garden where it is windy at this time. I brought my phone as well as the book I was reading so I could do something there.I have made up my mind that if Ali ever approaches me to talk to me, I will still not talk to him and ignore him. To be honest, I miss my boyfriend a lot but every time I think about Elise being with him now, I feel like I'm wondering if he still loves me.Maybe I'm being dramatic but that's what I wanted to ask him. Even though Ali says that he hasn't changed and I'm still his priority, I don't see that.When I got to the garden I sat d
