Waking up from her calm but troubled sleep, Brindle noticed that her usual morning orange juice was missing. Seated on the bed, her head reclined, and her tousled hair framing her face, she scanned the surroundings to confirm if the juice had been placed somewhere different than its usual spot, right beside her bed.

She grabbed the house cellphone to inquire why her juice wasn't beside her bed today. The phone rang, but no one answered. Puzzled, she decided to go downstairs and check for herself, what the reason could be... Clad in her nightgown, she stepped out of her room with sleepy eyes, descended in the elevator, and headed straight to the kitchen…………….

"Why is my juice not beside my bed?" she demanded, glaring at one of the maids who was cleaning the kitchen. The maid didn't utter a word but composed herself, facing her madam.

"Why is my juice not beside my bed?" she asked angrily.

"I asked them not to bring it," Richard's mom said, looking all flushed when she entered the ki

Natalie, Liam, and the rest of the cast followed, engaging in discussions as they walked.Natalie consciously avoided making eye contact with Liam, keeping a bit of distance. While walking on the edge of a high mountain, the tip crumbled.

    Richard, I need you to go and bring Natalie back into this house. Go and bring her back, please. Forget about whatever promise you have with Brindle. She’s not worth your time or attention. She’s only here for your money, and I’m going to prove it to everyone else, open your eyes, son! Mom, can we forget about everything in the past and move on with our lives? I am aware that my actions were wrong, and I will always regret them. Please understand me. No matter how much I care for Natalie, I chose Brindle over her. I chose this path myself, so please don’t interfere with it. Richard said with unrevealing pain in his eyes…. You did that because of the child you thought you were having...The child is no more, I know that, what makes you think that child was even going to be yours so what is pulling you back again? Or is it because of the promise you made to her years ago? She sighed, "You need to get over it, Richard. She broke it long ago herself when she left you. If you're not ready

    He stood at the grave, the place Miss Rose told him Natalie was buried. His hands hung limply by his sides as he felt a sudden loss of vigor. Gradually, he sank to his knees, and even the flowers in his hand fell beside him. Unspoken words, he knelt heavily on the floor as continuous tears dropped from his eyes. The tears flowed freely, each drop carrying the weight of regret "Natalie!!!" he screamed her name while crying. "I’m sorry, please forgive me," he let out those words as he cried. Hastily, he started to clean the dust on the grave with his hands as if he was losing his mind. "It's all my fault," he mumbled in between sobs. Rose crouched in a corner while watching him from a distance. A drop of tears escaped her eyes as a flash of memories appeared in her mind. Miss Rose entered her apartment after returning from her trip, a trip she had to say goodbye to her best friend who embarked on a new journey of life. She entered her apartment and realized she was being followed. Sta

    Mom, why would you do a thing like that? Why would you call the media here? Richard said furiously. "What do you mean?" Mrs. Kiara slightly smiled, amazed at what her son had just said. "I just came back from the church to pray for Natalie's soul and her forgiveness. I didn't call any media," she added. Richard looked at her and Brindle. "So who did?" he said. Brindle hurriedly went, resting on his shoulder, she said, "Your mom is lying, Richard. Who could bring the media here if not her? I was shocked at their presence here myself and had to quickly be in a position to talk to them to at least show some respect. I didn’t know how to take the whole thing, but I just had to do it for you." She finished speaking before flashing Mr. Kiara a slight smile beside Richard's side. "How dare you accuse me of something I have no idea about," Ms. Kiara seethed as she approached them, a clear anger emanating from her. "I don’t know what she is talking about. Why would I even let the world hear

    No, what makes you think that I’m going to stay here and wait? I’m going with you. What if you plan on leaving me here? Natalie said. Liam shook his head and walked to the other side. Natalie followed him quickly. "It’s your fault we’re lost, Liam! I just can’t believe I followed you here," Natalie exclaimed. Liam, trying to maintain his calm, turned to her, "Look here, I’m trying my best to find the way out of here. It’s not like I wanted this to happen, and even if I did, not with you. I’m sure they're looking for us by now. So just shush so we can both save some more energy for tomorrow," he said, looked at her venomously, and continued walking…… Natalie scoffed, "So annoying, ugh," she said and followed him. She started murmuring again, "You just had to take that shortcut, didn’t you? Now guess what, we’re both lost in the middle of nowhere, full of wild creatures…" Liam, without turning to her, sighed, "Hey, can you just keep quiet so we can look for something to eat before i

    Liam dragged himself from the water to the shoreline, bare-chested. He walked over to where Natalie was standing with her hands covering her face. "Hm hmm," he cleared his throat. "Are... are you wearing a shirt now?" she asked nervously, her back facing him and her hands tightly covering her face. "I need to use this path to get to my shirt; it's hanging on the tree over there," he said. With Natalie teetering on the edge of a fall, Liam held her fast from falling into his arms. As she looked up at him from below, he towered above with an air of strength and protection. Their eyes locked in each other's gaze, their breaths mingling, and chests pressed together. Their lips gently met, and they passionately shared a heated kiss, as if it was something they had longed for and were willing to do without hesitation. A drop of water from Liam’s hair dropped on Natalie’s forehead, and she quickly pulled herself from Liam’s embrace. She began to gasp for air, struggling to process what

    "Where do you think you are going with those things of yours?" Mrs. Kiara asked as she approached Brindle in the hallway leading outside. "Are you keeping track of my movements within this house, or are you responsible for everyone's mobility?" Brindle asked firmly while folding her arms and maintaining direct eye contact. "I don't need to figure out your life. How exactly will you be of any use to me?" Mrs. Kiara questioned. "Why do you look like you are not yourself, Mrs. Kiara said. Are you scared of something, oh my baby?" She said and walked closer to her and patted her hair like a baby. Brindle pulled herself away. "Don't put those hands of yours on me again. As-tu entendu? Have you heard?" she said. "Why won't I look nervous standing in front of a scary monster," she added. "Scary monster, you don't say. Then have it that that monster is counting your days in this house," Mrs. Kiara said. Brindle gulped nervously, rolled her eyes at her, and walked away. Yes, she’s already

    "Madam, please," the accountant said, "a lady came to withdraw all the money from that account just about nine minutes ago." "Huh?" Tina said and pulled the files in her direction to see what she was talking about. "Vanessa Black," Tina murmured as she examined the name on the files. As she examined them further, Tina wondered just who this person could be. "Can you describe her in any way whatsoever?" Tina asked with a puzzled face, waiting to hear a detailed answer. "Well, madam, I really didn’t make eye contact with her, but she had heavy makeup, and her head was lowered through" the accountant said. "What was she wearing?" Tina asked. "She had on a red wig with an all-black oversized dress, gold gloves matching her heels, and she wore L'Orvea, the Golden Hour, sunglasses," the accountant said. "Wait a minute, I might have passed someone about 3 minutes ago wearing a similar dress," Tina said. Without another word, she ran to the entrance of the building, searched the surround

    “How did you know I was here? I heard you’ve escaped from the cell,” Brindle said, aggressively pulling herself away from his touch. Marko stepped forward, but Brindle quickly backed away. “Don’t even try to make any move on me. You know just one call, and you’ll be back in the cell,” Brindle warned, pulling her phone from her pocket. “You need to stop this. You’ve done enough. Hurting more people won’t bring you peace or the dream you’re chasing after,” Marko pleaded. “What makes you think you can stop me, huh?” Brindle shouted, looking up at him with anger in her eyes. “I’m not trying to stop you, Brindle. I’m trying to save you from all this madness you’ve gotten yourself into. This path you’re on… It’s destroying you. Can’t you see that?” Marko said, his voice filled with concern. Brindle slammed her fists on the table, rattling the items on it. “You think I need saving?” she snarled. “You think I need you to tell me what to do? Hell no!” Her voice rose as she shouted. “You ha

Don't get married," he said as he rushed to her, pleading."Richard, we've been through this. It's over between us. You were the one who ended everything, remember?"

    "Haha, he's such a great guy, and I know he's going to make me the happiest girl on earth," Miss Rose said with a giggle as she shuffled on the sofa next to Natalie, sipping her beer.Natalie nodded with a smile, taking a slow sip of her beer before turning to Rose. "When are you going to give love a try, Miss Rose?"Rose sighed heavily and leaned back on the sofa. "I guess I'm just too beautiful. They all probably think I'm too good for them," she said dramatically, shoving a handful of potato chips into her mouth.Natalie chuckled, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "I see," she said, looking at Rose out of the corner of her eye. "So your beauty is a curse, huh?"Rose nodded, trying to look serious despite the crumbs around her mouth. "Absolutely.

"You're safe now," he murmured, his voice filled with concern.Richard stood beside them, his eyes still fixed on the sky where the jet had disappeared. He clenched his fists, frustration, and anger evident on his face. He then turned and walked briskly towards the police."Make sure you find him," he said."We will make sure to trace him now. It's going to be difficult, but we will do everything we can," Officer So said while the other police officers secured the area, ensuring no further threats remained."I will keep a follow-up on this matter, I know Whimper," Richard said as he fixed his gaze back on the sky."We will keep a close watch and coordinate with international authorities.

    Sitting at a small metal table in the psychiatric hospital's dining room, Brindle poked at the unappetizing breakfast on her tray. The room was filled with the murmur of other patients, some lost in their own worlds, others engaging in muted conversations of nothingness.A group of three women, notorious for causing trouble, approached Brindle's table. One of them, a tall woman with unkempt hair, sneered down at her."Look at the little princess," she taunted, nudging Brindle's tray so the milk spilled over. "Too good for hospital food, huh?"Brindle stared at her face and clenched her fists, trying to compose herself. But the second woman, short and stout, grabbed a piece of toast off Brindle's tray, stuffed it into her mouth, and laughed hysterically."Leave me alone," Brindle said, her voice low and trembling with anger.The third woman, with a wild look in her eyes, leaned in close. "Or what? You'll cry for your mama?" she said with a laugh.Brindle's patience snapped and she stood

"I'm sorry, Liam," she whispered, her voice trembling. "I'm sorry for not telling you everything you needed to know about me."He slowly raised his hand, his fingers brushing against her lips to silence her. "Shh," he whispered gently. "It's okay. I'm here for you. All that matters is that you're fine," he said with a slight smile, his hand cradling her face as he spoke, his thumb stroking away her tears. He leaned in, his lips brushing against her cheek in a soft, comforting kiss, then pulled her back into a tight hug."It's all going to be okay," he murmured into her hair.….…………………………"Let me in!" he shouted, his voice tinged with desperation.
