At the behest of brother Loren, our Mansion was not opened for those who wished to attend to be careful. We have tripled the number of body guards and security has been tightened throughout the village.

The news broke that daddy had been shot. Fear gripped La Cuevas, and her acquaintances and friends delivered a message. He also said that there was a recollection of daddy in his company. Maybe next year, Leah will be the one to walk. So far all responsibilities have been passed on to brother Loren and sister Celine.

The whole mansion was quiet on the day of dad's funeral. Mother Ida's body is also here. I sent his body home for it to fall asleep. I wish I could always go to them both daddy whenever I want.

Wearing the black pantsuit, I walked towards daddy’s coffin. I hold the red rose that will be thrown into the pit where he will be buried. I don't think so. My hands trembled as I sobbed softly. I couldn’t believe he was lying inside that white coffin. I can't believe he's really go

    I woke up in my own room. It was bright in the room not like I was used to. The curtain was open, and so was the light. I noticed the oxygen pump sitting on the bedside table. I frowned and tried to remember what had happened before I fainted.When I remembered to admit that Luke and I had a relationship, I immediately closed my eyes. My head still hurts and my body is broken. Now I felt all the tired, awake, and hungry of the past few days as if I was being punished. I feel like I struggled. I'm very tired.With the extra weight of my eyelids, I was able to close my eyes again and fall asleep. I only woke up when I felt my stomach growl. I rubbed my eyes still painfully. There I noticed that my skin was warm. I tried to rub my neck and forehead to make sure I was really sick. I gasped when I realized I had a fever.Even though I can’t see myself my eyes are definitely swollen because they are heavy. I struggled to stand up and noticed the water bottle on the bedside table. I picked i

    "Call me if you need anything. I'll send someone there, please come back when you're completely fine."I broke away from older brother Loren's hug and nodded. I can no longer feel anything. I can't even cry anymore. I also didn’t complain when I found out he was driving Luke to La Cuevas heights. That’s the name of the villa they live in Luke. Because of the rudeness of Ray's reception of us the other night, Aunt Celine immediately issued a notice to dismiss them. After all, Eleanor has the largest shares and investments of all the high end villas here in La Cuevas.Our departure was supposed to be at the end of the month, but in just two days, we were at the airport and flying to Australia."I will miss you .." Lea couldn't hide her sobs. He quickly hugged me. "Please take care of your self .. don't think about him na, he's not worth it!" She cried on my shoulder.I did not answer. I'm too tired. I don’t even feel anything other than tired. It is true that when your emotions are exha

    "Are you okay?"I parted my lips open to answer Lea beside me, but my eyes were fixed to Luke who's walking away from the stage now. I'm supposed to respond, but couldn't process the right words. He's holding his guitar as he walked quickly to the backstage as if he's running out of time."Gosh! Will that be released ?!""OMG SHE'S SOLO !!!""Is it Sage ?!""Nice !! I didn't quite understand but nice!""Noise, pota!"The crowed was still loud, they were screaming and talking about the new song he just played. They were praising his voice, guitar skills, emotions and of course, visual.I gulped and inhaled deeply before turning to Lea who's now looking at me with worried eyes. I smiled and gave her a reassuring look."Excuse me, I think I need to go to the rest room." I said and glanced at Gavin who's watching us beside his girlfriend."I can come with you, so you don't get lost—"I held her shoulder and shook my head, "It's fine, really. I'm also gonna make some calls." I will excuse

    Beat.My heart was pounding non -stop as I watched his chest. My eyes trembled as I struggled to study every corner of his scar-like tattoo here. I don't care if he would think I'm weird or what, but I am certain that he made this look like mine-- no, he copied my scar!Why? why would a person with an already perfect skin want to ruin himself? What is so special about my scar that he imitated it ?! is he mocking me? is this his way of reminding me about my past? so that when I come back here I won't forget what happened to me before? If so, he is very insignificant!When he noticed that I was staring at his chest for a few seconds, he woke up and covered his tattoo with one of his hands. I looked up at him and frowned when I met his eyes that seemed caught.He still held out one hand to me to offer the towel. I blew a sarcastic breath before no one looked as I pulled on my cardigan and there wiped my wet hand."No, thanks. I got myself." I uttered.He once blinked and silently watched

    "I'm sorry .. I noticed it too late, I should've known sooner."She shook slowly and sniffed softly as she bent down and played with her nails."You don't have to be sorry, I know you're also recovering. Lea told me everything. I was so shocked when I heard that you flew to Australia because of him--""It's not just entirely because of him." I corrected.She looked up at me and smiled bitterly."See? You've got a lot of burdens too. If you're sorting them out alone, then I should fix mine by myself as well." She reasoned out.I heaved a sigh and transfixed my gaze in front. We are still here at the cemetery and we decided to talk about it. It's a good thing that the sun isn't that well up so the atmosphere is quite balanced."You're wrong." I said. "I may have wanted to fix myself alone, but I couldn't deny that I also needed some help at that moment. I wasn't alone, Moli. I got professional help from a friend, and I must say .. it was effective. The process was confusing and boring,

    It was dinner time and I was in the kitchen to watch the maids cook with one of our chefs, when I heard older brother Loren’s familiar bugatti.I turned to the living room and greeted our family chef before leaving. I walked into the living room and secretly smiled as Kuya and his family got out of the car.He handed Guancio the car key so he could park it in our garage. They walked in as I folded my arms and watched them approach.When my older brother saw me, I smiled sparingly at him. He looks so hot with his navy bue polo shirt paired with black pants. His luxury watch also made itself noticeable for me.I did the same when my sister Celine and I met eyes. She's wearing a white short sleeved blouse and black trousers. She's holding a black Hermes bag, and hanging on her arm, is her black coat. She looks so cool and intimidating wearing her usual office attire. She smiled at me and walked elegantly as they entered inside the mansion."There's your aunt Sadie," Kuya Loren gestured m

    "I was about to call you later .." I said as I got away from the table. I went to the kitchen because there is also a door here to get out of the garden and pool area."Hmm? Why?""I have a favor to ask. By the way, do you need anything?" I asked because I know he wouldn't call for nothing. I folded my arms and waited for him to answer."No .. nothing. I just called to inform you that I'm going back to the Philippines .."My eyes rolled and I was immediately excited. "Oh my God, when ?!" My question was full of joy. "Does Aunt Celine know? I'm with them now, and she didn't tell me,"I heard him laugh on the other line. "Not yet, you're the first one I called."I raised an eyebrow. "So you're going home? You're leaving Patricia there?" There is doubt in my tone."H-hm. That's where I'll continue my residency.""Why?""What, why?""Are you going to leave Pat?" I will ask.It was a long time before he could answer. "No."I took a deep breath and a smile slowly faded from my lips. "So you

    "Go away," I whispered to my older brother because I could hardly breathe with the number of people who wanted to squeeze into our band.We've been sitting here at the medic station for a few minutes, I'm the only doctor here, neither nurses nor volunteers are there. The older brother said that it was still two hours before the red cross requested by the Mayor arrived because they were not from Cebu.I gasped because older brother Sage didn't want to leave me. I already told him that I'm fine here alone, it's even more bothersome that he's here because people are crowding and shouting just to get close to him. Even though we have guards blocking, they are obviously having a hard time controlling people, especially women."Who's with you here?" He is justified.I turned to him, "Why? Did I come to watch over you? I'm here to volunteer. You, go straight to where the bands should be. The influx of people here only adds to the heat. Maybe it can also cause people complications.

    THE WEDDINGThe words ‘I can’t believe it’s happening’ are scratching, but that’s how I really feel.Holding a pile of Gladiolus flowers in my hand I quietly waited outside the church. I no longer bowed to my glittering wedding gown, because the glitter of my eyes made me feel dizzy. I was contemplating with myself if I should grit my teeth or tighten my grip on the flowers. I'm so nervous and happy.I was standing behind the church's huge door with sister Celine and brother Loren. They were quietly looking at me, checking if I'm all done or there's anything I need."Just shut up you both." I told them because I'm already so nervous and I couldn't manage to dive in their conversation.They both laughed and ate Celine hugged me."I'm so happy for you, Sadie .."I smiled and let her. "Thank you .."And just when the wedding coordinator signaled us that the door's about to open, ate Celine let go of me and fixed my vail."This is it," she whispered enthusiastically.I nodded and inhaled

    "Motherfucker! Look what you did, you monster! You're worse than an animal, Raysita! How can you kill people ?! How can you do that to her, huh ?!" In my anger, I could no longer control myself when I strangled him. I could see the fear in his eyes as he looked at me."I-I-" He couldn't speak anymore because of the excessive stress of my strangulation on him. My eyesight darkened because I no longer needed evidence to prove that he also killed Sadie's father. He himself!"I'm gonna kill you with my own two hands, you devil-" I released him when a hard object hit my head. All went black after that. I just woke up unable to move my legs because they were full of blood. I saw my knees almost wrecked and my mom with blood on her face.My eyes widened. "Ma!" I called her but she won't respond. I was nervous about what had happened to him. Our hands were tied and I think they were slapping my knees so I couldn’t escape. I close my eyes in pain when I try to move you."If I were you, I would

    Hello! This is the Epilogue. Thank you for being with me through thick and thin! I will end this story with a sound heart thanks to all of you. Let's all be a scar carved beautifully on someone's memory! You can play the instrumental background of beautiful scars above for better reading.—————"AAAAAAAAAA I LOVE YOU LUKE!""OH MY GSH! LUKE, MY SON!""WE LOVE YOU LUUUUUUUUKE!"I smirked upon hearing hours but remained composed to not mess up. I am already so nervous about singing this song in public for the first time alone, I can't fuck it up."So .. I'll have a solo number for tonight. This song is for those who feel burdened and chased by their past. For those scars that haven't been healed, for those misplaced hatred you shed to yourself." I licked my lips. Wherever you are, this song is for you, babe. I hope you come back very soon. I've been waiting, dreaming about seeing you so soon.I closed my eyes as I strum my guitar before singing the first verse of the song I made for her

    3 YEARS LATERMy eyes slowly went down to search for Moli's wrists. I smiled seeing her, again, smooth and spotless skin. I can't help but to feel proud with the fact that I made that. I was able to successfully remove her scars as my specialty.It was understandable that she wanted to get rid of them, since it reminds her of how much she wanted to end her life back then, and I'm happy I took part to help her bring that genuine smile back on her lips again."Baby, look, mom is here .."I looked down at the boy with him. She gently held the little girl's delicate hands, and when her eyes went to me, she smiled in an instant. My heart pounded."Mother!" The three year old beautiful girl excitedly went to me.I crouched and bent my knees enough to level her head. He ran quickly and greeted me with a hug."Hey, Micah," I greeted and caressed her back.When he left he looked at me with a smile. "We're waiting for daddy ..." he explained.I raised an eyebrow and ruffled her hair. I turned t

    I was right. It was awkward when older brother Larry went out of the limousine to open my door. Now, all the other people outside are gawking at me. Even my dress is not suitable in this place!Some officers guarding the jail came out. They would have almost saluted if they hadn't seen me right away. Surprise filled their faces and I was even surprised when the bodyguards followed me. I look even more like the first lady of the country!The guards automatically scattered themselves to cover my space. As a result, people drifted away and became more and more curious. Even though I wanted to be ashamed of my scar, I just walked in high up."G-good morning, ma'am, who are they?" Asked a policeman. He even glanced at my tattoo. I looked at him."I'm here to visit someone. Where should I log?" I asked coldly.Their eyes widened and they immediately searched the logbook somewhere. When they found it another pounded it before giving it to me."B-ballpen! Ballpen speed!""Here's a ballpen!"I

    Cw: Physical harm.A hot tear escaped from my right eye as I shut it closed. Luke .. I'm so sorry ..I forced myself to stay awake. I know I can stay conscious. It's not that fast to lose consciousness if chloroform is the cause. I just let my eyes close because that was a headache. Stunning.I frowned and moaned softly. Right, my phone! I strained to open my eyes and reached for my bag. I still can't get up. I feel very heavy in my head and body. Even so, I frowned as I pulled out my bag. I need to call anyone to get myself out of here. I won't let him just get it!I opened the zipper and inserted my hand. I was searching for my phone without looking at it when a harsh bump from the back made the car almost fly!"Ah!" I screamed as I fell to the backseat floor. My head hit the floor of the car and it hurt even more."Putangina, who is this ?!" I heard Benjie's salt and he forced the car to start again.I can no longer paint my face. Holding my head, I forced myself to get up. Whoever

    I woke up with Luke next to me. Since I didn’t close the balcony curtain, light from the sunlight entered us.I can already hear the violent crash of the waves on the beach. My body was still weakening when I realized we were both hugging. My cheeks immediately warmed up when I remembered what happened last night.I almost squeezed my face into his chest out of embarrassment. Did I really .. initiated it? And I even threatened to call Vincent last night just so he would agree! Oh my God, I even confessed that I missed him! I closed my eyes tightly and squeezed him. He hugged me tightly and moaned softly.I stopped moving so he wouldn't wake up. I grabbed the comforter and lifted it slightly to peek at our bodies. He's on his boxer shorts and I'm already wearing a white laced panty. My forehead furrowed because I don't remember wearing it last night.I was so tired of the four rounds we did. And he's not really tired! I even had to beg him to stop because I'm already sore with all the

    Matured content ahead, read at your own risk. With so much heat and shame I was feeling, I couldn’t say goodbye when I ran out of there. I went down to the second floor and was about to go straight to my room when I realized that Luke might just go there and I had no choice but to let him in from the bathroom or the balcony. Argh. I went down to the first floor and came to the quiet living room. Sister Celine and brother Loren are already in the room, as is their son. It's getting early and the maids are definitely resting. I slowly exited the rest house and surveyed the dark sea. I took a deep breath and walked towards it. There are no people and maybe they won't come down here because of too much drunkenness. I swallowed and slowly took off my white t-shirt. I also took off my shorts and removed the pinch of my hair. I stored my undresses on the side of the beach that would not be wet. I looked out at the sea and was no longer afraid to go down. When the cold water hit my feet, m

    The wedding was held in a private open space in Seda Lio, a five-star luxury hotel here in El Nido. For an atheist like me .. this is my second time attending a catholic wedding. Not bad. Nothing offensive.It's only now that I realize that all the guests and their coordinators stayed here except us because we were there at Lea's rest house.Lea's rest house is more comfy and more open to the beach, while this hotel screams luxury and class. I arched my brow as I scanned the couple on the stage made altar.Now that I saw Tatiana again, I immediately recognized her. She really is a supermodel. I used to see him often in magazines and billboards in Australia, even in the Philippines. She is always on the runway and fashion shows of well -known luxury brands. It didn't immediately register in my brain that she was Lea's older brother's girlfriend.There's no doubt she's one of the highest paid models in her generation. She's tall, very white and all her curves in their right places. I he
