"Where have you been?" He asked me as his gaze focused on the road.
I really wonder why he came after me now, he was the only one.
"Don't I have a tracker? Didn't you track before?" I sarcastically told him, I heard him sigh.
Oh, where is his arrogance? Does he seem to have given up on my misfortune?
"Don't just give your trust in anyone" He suddenly said.
"In everything I've been through I don't trust people anymore so you don't need to remind me" I said bitterly and avoided looking at him. I was just looking out the window.
"What will you do when you see your parents?" He said he was able to stop me.
"I'll ask them why they turned their backs on me" I said while a single tears escaped in my eyes.
"Everyone has a reason Mary don't let anger eat you when you're angry" He said, I laughed sarcastically.
"You don't know ... y
"I want you to know where Julia Cordova moved" I said softly. We are in the music room right now."You are really weak, that girl has left you—"Shut up I just want an answer from her" I insisted, he combed his hair with his finger and looked at me."I'm not a detective but I'll try" He said and took a guitar next to him."Are we going to practice now? Isn't it too early?" My eyebrows furrowed when I asked he smiled slightly before laying down the guitar next to him and stood up."The truth is that my group isn't complete yet" I was even more surprised by what he said."You're not the only one I'm asking for favors. I'm still looking for someone who can play drums and guitar and piano" he said. So it looks like he's working in a band huh?"What am I doing here?" I mean he has something to say. I guess."Help me search" he said smiling. He can't get me to smile."Go home" I whispered."Actually I already know
"Where are we going — ah! wait! Tell me what do you need from me? Do you still need to drag me?" I didn't answer him, I kept my grip on his wrist. I already told him what I needed but he just refused me.Today Zyke and I talked about having a meeting for the song we will sing.I pushed him inside because he really had no intention of entering the music room."What is this?" Nothing of his own he said as he looked at the chairs he saw in front of him."You're going to join the band" I said and leaned over him."I really don't want to, do I? I can't get anything out of it" He said and held his hand against hers."All right please" I beg you. Why am I begging for this? Zyke is the one who needs us all."Don't force it if you don't want to" Said by Zyke when the man on the side was just sitting while playing the guitars. It's — Kyle.I sighed. It's not that easy to force Wayne."All right, I won't force you anymo
I don’t know why Nica brought me here today to the mall. When I entered the house, she suddenly dragged me and she was very excited while I...was still in uniform.We were with Ma'am Veron — Nica's Mommy.It's just that I'm not comfortable, I still can't forget what she did yesterday, she just showed her b*tch side."Mommy I want to buy a new lights stick!" Nica said cheerfully. I don't know if they brought me here for a companion or for a porter?Because I was the one her Mommy brought with her but it's ok with me.I’m brave though.I experienced different problems this one was easy."Ahh sure Baby, ahm Mary can you reserve us a table at the food court? So we can eat as well" she said softly. She's really kind in front of a lot of people but when we're just the two of us nevermind."Sure Ma'am" I said and turned my back on them.It's good that I'm alone. I really can't do that when Nica's Mommy is
"Elaine ... Elaine is your mother's name, but you better not look for her anymore dear she can't take care of you properly either " "Can't I see her? Even if it's just a photo" "Mary, you know we lost our house cause by fire when you were only three years old, we lost everything, including your mother's photos" "What about my Dad?" "Don't think about your Dad, aren't we enough for you, Mary?" "It's not like that grandma— "Mary My Dear we loved you so much, don't leave us" "Mary, go back to your room, I'll take care of your grandmother first. It looks like I'm going to talk to another person of hers" "All right Grandpa" __ ~~~ __ I woke up because I was feeling so cold. I suddenly thought about what happened last night so I immediately sat up properly but I also
It's been five weeks since we asked Madielaine to stay at Kyle's house.I explained everything to Kyle and he understood Madielaine's situation.We cared for Madielaine together and sometimes I pissed on him because he was really so clingy.Suddenly he hugs me or squeezes my cheek which I'm not used to. He's really something.It wasn't difficult for me to go to the house where Madielaine was staying because I had a reason to say. We're having a practice which is not true.Zyke has moved the practice since we're complete and we don't have to worry anymore.Now this coming December is our practice, My birth Month.I'm not really excited. I'm used to celebrate with my self for the past 3 years.One and a half months we will be practicing because we won't be busy in the coming January, maybe in February we will be very busy because we are grad
[VERONICA'S POV] I was in the room with my friends; Maeji, Cherry, Jazel, Laira and Shanley. Maeji, Cherry and Jazel were 4 years older than us but we still treat them like we're on the same age. They are here at home now because I got bored so I decided to have a sleepover and Night swimming with them. "Ate Mary and I live here at home. If you see her, be good to her, but I think you won't see her. She rarely comes out of the room." I told them, I don't want to get into trouble,I know them. If they will not treat Mary goodly I will be the one who will scolded. "Really? We can invite her over" Jazel said with full of excitement. "Yeah sure but I don't think you'll like that idea" I said while arranging what I will wear tonight. "What do you mean?" Cherry said laughing and came closer
[VERONICA] “What the heck Nica! Stop what you’re doing!” Maeji shouted at me so I anxiously stopped. I was biting my fingernail because of nervousness. This is what I do whenever I'm nervous, anxious or scared. I hope nothing happened to Ate Mary. It was just a prank, I didn’t know she would drown totally. I couldn’t get close to Daddy in his seat. I knew he’s mad, he was still in police uniform and on his way home but what he found was Ate Mary drowning. “You shouldn’t have do that Maeji” I told her while crying. She then looked at me surprisingly. Yes, I'm the one who plan that but they should have stop me right? “Excuse me? It was your idea you should blame yourself” She commented. We were the only two who came because I really insisted. I'm t
[MARY] “What are you doing here?” I asked them when Nica and her friends finally leave. “Are you okay?” I looked at him in disbelief. Seriously? He’s asking me like that? “What kind of question is that Zyke?” Wayne said sarcastically he looked annoyed. I remain silent. Seconds later I speak. “Let’s try it with you then I’ll ask you if you’re okay” I sarcastically said to him. I’m not really feeling well. My head still hurts. “I’m sorry, I mean about Nica” He said so I understood now. I never thought Nica would think that of me.She’s too kind to do that but I guess even the kindest person can do bad things. “Be honest with me, do you guys hate me? Tell me, So that I can get away while it’s still early, I won’t be surprised if you’re just stabbing me in the back” I said seriously as they looked at each other, their foreheads furrowed. “Mary you are the only one who has been true to me, I consider you my
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…

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.

Chapter 53 Everything will be alright“Why?”“They making you a dangerous move Mary?” I’m talking to Wayne on the phone now, it’s twelve o’clock and I still can’t sleep because of the thought of what’s going to happen.“It’s dangerous, but I have no choice. I need to do this so that I can be with my parents ” I reasoned out. I heard him sigh.“Is there no other way? 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
