Chapter 55: Answer"How can I answer your proposal if you haven't woken up yet?"It's been four months since an event happened that made us suffer. Until now, Rye is still lying in his hospital bed with many things still attached to his body. I can see that he is still fighting so we didn't give up. Selena did not attend school for one month because of her counseling with her personal psychiatrist. Lip, on the other hand, spontaneously said that it was okay for him to go to school right after he rested for a day. I got strict with Selena and Lip's safety. Two of them are always with the service car. I also said that the two of them will go straight home after classes and there is nothing to go to right after that. When Lip has projects that need to be done at his classmate's house, I have two drivers look after him. I just paid them triple for it.I don't want what happened before to happen again. It's a good thing that my children understand my decision. They didn't complain or say a

The voice of a woman whom I have loved first. I admired her for her extreme resilience and not letting anyone drag her down. She is Francine, a girl who has been in the orphanage for a long time. I was new when I entered the orphanage, because I was just caught by an agency. We were caught being ordered by old men to beg. It is necessary that we get a lot of money, then what will be left for us from what we got from alms was five pesos or ten pesos. Not enough to buy biscuits and water. I'm just thankful that I was caught up so that they don't have to chase me. I think I won't be hungry anymore because I'm in an orphanage.But... My life at the orphanage wasn't easy either. I

Why am I hearing that someone will rape you?" I asked and I saw that Francine just smiled because of my questions."Do you also want to get rich?" she asked. "There are things you can't understand because you're young. When you want to make money, you'll do anything, even sell your body. But don't worry about me, I'm not selling my body. I'll just make sure I'm not taken advantage of by people in the bar."My brows met and just stared at her. That was her answer... I don't know if I should trust what she said because I'm nervous about what might happen. But then, I just let it go because in the following days, the bruises on her arm have healed. Our lives continued at that time until one night, she

Lord? Why did you let this happen to me?My tears continued to fall while looking at Francine's tombstone. She died... with the unborn baby in her womb. She didn't even tell me what pain she was feeling. Why did she do this? I wish she had at least shared her problem with me so she wouldn't have thought of such things to do on her own.

The people in the bar could do nothing but be surprised by the incident.The boss or owner of the bar took care of Francine's early funeral as if nothing had happened because the bar was still operating.

Special Chapter: Dream Rye’s POV "So you're saying that before I left, that's when you realized you love me?" Sera asked and Selena smiled as she stared at me. "Dad, you're so romantic. I didn't know you still had that side." Sera immediately looked at Selena. "Didn't I tell you not to listen to what we were talking about? Until what part did you hear?" "Mom, I was just appreciating your love story! I'm not a child anymore! I'm already sixteen so I can be open to such things. It's really good that you realized that, Dad. It took you too much time because you are focused on your revenge." she said and I just sighed. "Don't tease Dad, Mom and Selena." We looked at Sid, our third child. He's busy reading some books even though he's only eight years old. He seems old when speaking, that's why Selena was always annoyed by him. "Just read there and ignore us! This kid, tsss!" Selena even hissed then left to go to her room. Sera and I just laughed. We now saw Rio come out of his roo

Chapter 1: Encounter"Ma'am, our sales have increased seventy percent this year. Congratulations!"I looked at them and smiled. "Let's congratulate ourselves because I'm not the only one who should be celebrating. Because of all of you, this business won't be consistent.""Does it mean, based on what you said ....." They looked at each other so I just shook my head while still smiling."Okay, I'll treat you all this time. Where do you want to go?" I asked and they all screamed because of that.I've been running our family business since I graduated with a degree of Civil Engineering. I focused on our family business because it has collapsed so much since all the clients pulled out their investments.

Chapter 54: Father"Mom... please tell me that he'll be okay..."I continued to hug Selena tightly because she had been crying for a while. I'm the same way. Lip was just next to us and sad because of what happened. Rye's Dad also went to the hospital, saying that he will take care of Divine at the police station. He said the woman will face the punishment she deserves. She might be going to jail or to a mental hospital because her mind is not stable. Although I'm afraid that she might also kill someone in the mental hospital when she stays there. Her mind is closed and she doesn't listen to anyone. Totally insane not knowing what to do."Sera!"I turned to the person who called me and I was surprised to see Mom, Kira, and Patry. They immediately hugged me as well as Selena and Lip. How... did they know what happened?"It's late... Why did you come at this time? How did you know what happened?" I asked. I can also see the concern on their faces, they know what happened to us."We had
Chapter 53: HornsI looked at the time. Eight o'clock. I didn't pay attention to Rye and Lip who were in the living room and were just watching my next moves. When I got out, I immediately saw a black car. I entered there fearlessly and the driver immediately drove the car to the place where Divine wanted. There was only one man in the car with me, the driver. He is wearing a mask and I can only see his eyes. The inside of the car is clean even though it's dark…. I can still see it. No bomb. Looks like she's not going to kill me here in the car. Right, she wanted to see me struggling. Maybe in that place, she will do me harm. I'm just praying that she didn't do anything to Selena."The place we're going to is far away, miss. I'm sorry but I think I need to put you to sleep first." I was surprised when he sprayed something in the air source in the car and I didn't immediately cover my nose. "I just did this for work... for my family." Those were the last words I heard before I passed o
Chapter 52: Missing"Mr. Fujisaki, we have spoken to all the police stations and the police within San Antonio responded immediately. They are doing their best now to find your missing child. We will call you immediately if she has been found and get information about her."Rye approached me and tapped my shoulder. "Don't worry. We can find her right away. Dad has connections with police stations all over the Philippines, which is why the police won't be looking only in San Antonio."My hands and knees can't help but tremble. When I found out what happened from Manong Tasing, I felt like I was going to vomit and pass out. We immediately went to the police station to report what happened. I looked at my watch and realized that it was twelve o'clock at noon. Lip was still in university and attending his class. I won't let him know because I know he will worry too much. He might not be able to focus on his class when that happens."Rye, I don't want to let this go by for a day. I'm going
