    With her head low, she was sitting on the hospital bed while closing her eyes and sensing the loneliness. Upon crying her heart out, she felt so empty. She started humming her favorite song which was entitled 'Hann' (Alone). It's been 6 years since the last time she remembered this song, it made her feel relaxed. She arose on the bed when she heard loud voices from outside of the room. The room was wide open so she could still see what's happening in the hallway.

    "Mace, are you sure of this?" Her voice which whistles none of its emotion pricked on Mace Leo's ears, her stares which yet indicate she's not interested in her friend's plan were beaming on her complexion. She then crossed her arms and glanced at her colleague. "Don't worry, Kyaell. I'll be fine, Astrid is my friend and we're close. She won't hurt me, okay? I don't assume that the rumors are true."

    A radiant glow welcomed their sight the moment they left the Coffee House. The rays which caress their covering were very visible. Their soles had a stroll towards the terminal and waited for a bus to halt. The dames had their conversation along the road, Sullivan could not get over the frappe tea she ordered, its savory juice with the miscellaneous frost which cools her mouth had its way to give her a chilling disposition. Further than that, Leo on the other hand, let out a wide smile upon enjoying the company of her colleagues. Hiking forth to the location, Fuentes could not help herself but be anxious all of a sudden. "I don't know how to react, to be honest, I can't even imagine that she's able to hurt someone. Astrid is innocent," Fuentes stated, they selected a seat and stayed at the waiting shed. "Well, she is. Probably the cops condemned her, she always gets into trouble, her neighbor once accused her of killing a guy named Kobe Ethan. I didn't believe it, of course, but so

    Stillness filled the four corners of the room as everyone discerned who would enunciate first. Their eyes travel forth in his direction and watch him surveying the files before his sight. Lounging in his swivel chair, he glimpses at them, with his glare. Upon beholding the details from the records, he let out a sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose. "What do you want me to say about this?" He spoke, and his hoarse voice echoed in the room. He lightly brushes his hair with the tips of his fingers and takes another glimpse of the folder before his eyes. "I dislike the occurrence."

"You should have done something to prevent this, Hyra." He asserted and leaned over his seat. She remained at her seat, quiet. Yet the moment she saw him glaring at her, a sigh esc

    The breath of air dashes into the lush leaves and they dance along with the singing birds, chirping, lounging in the trunks. The subtle prom of the pretty blossoms had its grace along with the grasses. Dorothy Scott smiled upon witnessing the refreshing scenery of the hospital's yard. The recent smell of the view that's about to behold opposes the expected scent inside the building. "You like the view, didn't you?" She asked and a gentle laugh pulled out of her mouth. Mace Leo narrowly nodded. She watches the sun rays as they scramble the clouds. "You must have enjoyed this area? I can see that genuine smile of yours," she added, which made the lass shrug off with a shy smile. "I met my older brother here, and this place somewhat created an impact on me. I made three paintings of this garden, do you wanna see it?" She glances at Leo momentarily before unleashing a sheepish smile. "Painting has been my favorite when I was a kid, I used to sketch too, I often shade whenever I am unha

    "How's the day going?" Kendall halted from walking upon hearing the voice of Maxwell Ross. She twitched her lips before turning back at him. The lass doesn't like him around, she despises the lad's presence. "Obviously, Ross. You see that I'm stuck in this fortress, don't expect me to appreciate the plain tiresome dusty walls around the four corners of this mansion." She replied and glared at him. As a response, he smirked. He stepped forward and held her hand, making her flinch in pain because of the wounds she got the moment Lucas chastened them. "What are you planning to do, bastard?" She firmly uttered when she sensed that he's about to lean closer to her. He let out a heavy breath, glancing at her with a serious complexion. "I wouldn't do it in the first place, Kendall but Lucas wants me to execute the punishment." He explained, trying to convince her."Forget about it, it's done, okay? What are you doing here anyway?
