Chapter 42: The contract
I’m in the school library now, Forcing myself to take a look in other things so that I won’t remember my problems. I just think about their situation and I will be sad again.My exam schedule is tomorrow so I’m reviewing today. I didn’t go to lunch with them Today, I Might just eat Later.I’m stressed out about my problems. I don’t want them to worry anymore.While reading I suddenly thought of Kyle. What could be happening to him? Why isn’t he coming in school?I’ve sent him a lot of messages but He haven’t seen it, but I Didn’t stop.Kyle Larson (Text messages)“Kyle, where are you?”
“Why you’re not replying?”
“Face us, I promise we’re not Mad at you.”
“Hey! What happened to you?
Chapter 42: Friendship bondI woke up early the next day because my exam schedule is at 7 o’clock.Grandpa took me to school since it was so close and he was also going to work.I took a deep breath and entered the building. We’re going to the Mall later, this will be my temporarily last bonding with my friends because I’m leaving tomorrow.I also informed to Grandpa that my friends and I will go for a walk first. I was surprised when he suddenly agreed. I thought he would stop me but when I asked him why he said, he said he knew all my friends so he trusted them.I don’t have any guards with me today because we are going to the mall, I don’t want anyone to always follow us, we won’t enjoy that because we will be ashamed of their presence.I sat quietly in my chair besides the window — at the back of the building.When the class started, of course I didn’t participate because I had an ex
Chapter 44 The SecreTary “Mary, I know you’re sad right now. So we will leave on Saturday first and you can bring your friends if they want. I promise you that all of this will end and we will be able to be with your parents soon” That was Grandpa’s when we ate at the dinner table the next day. I can’t believe he would say that. I really felt love here. I feel like I have a family that loves me. One more day and it’s Saturday. I’m sure my friends were expecting us to leave today. I went straight to the graden of the house just next to the pool when we finished breakfast. The beautiful scenery here makes you feel better. I felt someone approach me. It’s Nica. She sat in the chair next to me. “Ate Mary, why do you think Grandpa didn’t seem worried when we said someone was following us?” Nica asked. I looked at Her in astonishment. That night, our question was not really answered. Grandpa sai
CHAPTER 45 Where did he go“Ma’am, You’re about to leave” The maid said when she entered my room.I nodded with a smile and my gear was ready. We’re going to pick them up at their houses.Last night they were teasing me about where we were supposed to go and I had no idea which island we were on.I’m also excited because I’ll see Julia. We have also had no contact with each other for a long time.I miss Her too.When I got outside I immediately went inside the van were riding. I leaned over Veronica.Nica is a bit sad now because of what happened last night. It was really good and they didn’t leave.I didn’t think She wasn’t Tito Jayson’s Daughter. But even if she’s not my real cousin? I’ll still treat her like my own sister.“Have you forgotten anything?” Grandpa asked from the front seat.I smiled and shook my head. T
Chapter 46I have no idea where Kyle went, why he suddenly disappeared and why he had to leave us without even telling us.At least a hint. Not really.I have a feeling that this isn’t a simple problem anymore. More on complicated.I don’t know where to look for him. It’s hard to find someone who doesn’t want to be search.I feel sorry for that man and I don’t know why.It’s not impossible for me not to answer him because he is kind and respectful but why do he need to leave.I just went home and I was disappointed because I didn’t see him. I didn’t even know in advance that he wasn’t there for one month.So where does he live?I’ll just ask the faculty if he has any information there.“Mary, are you okay?” Grandpa suddenly asked when he entered my room. I suddenly became lucky with my family.I smiled hard.“I’m fine
Chapter 47 Betrayed[THIRD PERSON'S POINT OF VEIW]“What are your plans now?” The man asked Paul—who was the second leader of the Dela Torre Group.He sighed and looked at the person he was talking to.“Maybe it’s better that they don’t see us. Get my cellphone and I’ll do something, this shouldn’t take long we need to get the money ” the staff agreed and left Paul in the room.After getting the phone, Paul immediately went to Grayson Vescinzo’s jail.Grayson slowly looked up when he heard the door open.Paul smirked while looking at the guy.“Wouldn’t you really say?” Paul said. Grayson grinned even harder.“How many times would I tell you — that you will never get that, none of you”Though furious, Paul approached and dialed the phone he was holding.When the caller answered, he immediately smiled.
Chapter 48: Explained“Are you ready?”“Tss, You act like we’re going somewhere that we should ready” I said while laughing to Wayne when he picked me up here at home.Actually I told Grandpa that I would just go with him. I get more nervous when I’m alone and I have nothing to Talk.We just took a jeep today. Wayne said it was 10 AM and we should be there at school.When we arrived, the two of them were already there. Zyke and Ash.“He’s doing it again, he’s already done it and he’s likely to do it again” Zyke said after we waited for almost an hour here in the café next to the school.“Let’s just wait for about 30 minutes and then when he’s still not here, let’s go home” Wayne said so we agreed.I wonder what Kyle will say. Actually we really miss that man. If that really shows up with us today, he might get bruised be
Chapter 49 SD CARDIt’s Monday and I have to go to school because I still need to attend practices for our graduation.I still can’t move on in Kyle’s farewell though but we can’t help but accept his decision.“Thank you” I said when I got out of the car, the driver smiled at me.Lolo’s Bodyguards are not guarding me today. Now I can breathe easily.It’s March and we’re all practicing. The other grades have also finished their exams early because there is still a graduation.Students almost come here just to practice for graduation.“Hey, You’re have a pretty necklace, your grandfather gave it to you?” Ashley asked. I’ve been wearing it for a long time when I still have it and I don’t know why Ashley didn’t notice it.We are now in the school cafeteria.“You haven’t worn it in a long time, I thought you lost it” Wa
Chapter 50 The day you said goodnightMy eye bags were too big when I woke up cause by crying last night.I wanted to shout but I couldn’t because I didn’t want them to hear me. I don’t feel okay anymore. I’m in so much pain and I know I don’t deserve it cause all my life I’m alone.I don’t even know how to tell Tito what was my problem yesterday.God is giving me too much problems but I will still trust him.I’m sure I’ll be late today. After I took a bath, I went out.I haven’t caught up with Tito Jayson yet and Grandpa is still asleep. That must be tired too.There are only three of us eating at the dinner table today. Nica and Aunt Veron.I thought she was the one I would go to but I was embarrassed.“You look exhausted, are you okay Mary?” Tita suddenly asked in the middle of our meal.I looked up. It was really obviou
EPILOGUE They said, when it comes to family you will do everything. Even if it costs your life … “How did they escape ?!” Most of us were upset because of the news we received from the police. I was suddenly nervous, I still remember their faces looking at me madly. “When they were taken hostage, sir, but don’t worry, the checkpoint has already set up all possible routes” said a man in an all black suit. “Kids go back to your room and as long as you can don’t leave each other” said Tito Jayson. We followed what he said. We entered the room together. Nica, Julia, Ashley, Zyke, Pj, Kyle and Wayne are with me now in the same room. Suddenly the rain got heavier so my fear increased. Nica and I are now in bed together and just sitting. Even they I can see the fear on the face. I know the Dela Torre are gone now but I shouldn’t underestimate their ability to threaten us. “I forgot something in the room
Chapter 60 Forgiveness“Are your things ready? We are leaving” Announced by Sir Velasquez. After his 2 weeks day off Grandpa invited him for our family vacation and our friends were there.“Ma’am and Sir are ready” one of our maids said that. After so many tough days we need this. A vitamin sea.Nature is also a good treatment for human health so Mom and Dad need it.“Where are your friends Mary?” Grandpa asked.“They’re already outside, I’ll just go” I said while smiling. He then Nodded.I GOT OUT and four cars popped up in front of me and one of them was a familiar car. I frowned as I approached that car.I knocked on the window and it went down and Kyle’s face opened up to me. I was surprised and I didn’t know what I would react but I suddenly smiled.“Your Grandfather invited me, if it’s okay with you” He said. Wayn
Chapter 59: Live your life[KYLE’S POINT OF VEIW]“Where is he?” The guard pointed to the fourth tables so I nodded and went there. I was roaming my sight around. And this place was filled of criminals, some may be only blamed by something that they didn’t really do intentionally.I sat in front of him and he was like downing his head off me.“Tito” I said softly. He slowly lifted his head on me.“What are you doing here Kyle?”“I wanted to visit you” I said. He avoided my eyes.“I only want the best for you, I’m sorry if I failed you.” He said. I smiled at him sincerely.“Tito, I know your intentions towards me. And I’m very thankful that I have you. I promise that I will work hard and I will get you out of here ” He then smiled at me. He patted my head like I’m a dog.“You don’t have to. Criminals like us m
Chapter 58 Permission to love“Wayne! Why are we here?” I Anxiously said. We stopped right here in front of his house.Apart from the fact that I haven’t met his parents yet, I also can’t enter his house without a companion — specifically my friends.Because I might be a statue here when I’m so quiet.His siblings are still teasing me. Maybe they haven’t forgotten what happened months ago!“They want to meet you, Mary” he said. He was looking straight into my eyes.“But I’m scared!” I still insist. I saw him laugh.“So you know how it feels” I scolded him. He held my hand.“Trust me okay? They are kind and I will not let you feel out of place here” he said. I couldn’t do anything when I saw that one of his brothers, the man, had come out.I went down as well. I awkwardly smiled at his brother.“Hello”
Chapter 57: Something Special One month later… “Are you ready?” I nodded mutely then I faced him. I smiled as I walked closer to him. “Why do you want to come with us?” Tito Jayson asked. I was hesitant to answer. “Maybe, I wanted to know the reason or I want to hear them apologize” I said. I’m also confused, I just really want to see them locked up. “Let’s go” I followed them. Lolo and Tito Jayson and I are going to the Jail where the Dela Torre are locked up. My Mom and Dad are still in the process of recovering. The Dela Torre inflicted too much trauma on them. But thankfully day by day they became stronger and better. I got in the car. I just stared out the window watching the other cars. I was just quiet when we arrived. I don’t know what will happen but I just hope I don’t get too angry. They are also just victims of bad luck, they were blinded by money so it happened. But…

Chapter 55 Family reunited[THIRD PERSON’S POINT OF VEIW]“Team Delta, go to the south” Inspector Velasquez quietly told his fellow policemen what to do and where to go.They were on their way to the hideout of the Dela Torre. Even without the Dela Torre and its other personnel you can still see some guard personnel inside and outside.“Check all the rooms and save the couple, make sure they’re safe” Inspector Velasquez exclaimed while holding the earpiece across his ear.He turned his back and the other companions who were just following him were just waiting for a signal.It nodded as a signal that they were about to enter the place. One by one the policemen entered while carrying guns.Opponents were immediately alarmed and it made a noise for others to know as well.Velasquez rolled his eyes around.

You never know what will happen or you will be ruined Mary” I know he is just worried about me but I really need to do this.“Wayne because you didn’t understand me, because you didn’t experience what I experienced” I said annoyed. I couldn’t understand why he was interfering.“I’m just… concerned about you” Suddenly his voice weakened. I sighed.“You don’t have to worry, I’m fine. And if ever something happens t
