Chapter 27: Birthday Surprise
A few days later …
“My child!” I opened my eyes when I heard a loud shout. That’s from Madelaine’s room.
I immediately ran and entered her room. I caught her catching her breath so I easily grab a glass of water.
I asked the obvious question.
“Are you all right?” I asked as I stood beside her. She is crying.
She looked at me with her teary eyes.
“My daughter — Madi …” I frowned at the new name she said.
“Drink some water first” I said and so she did. I feel sorry for her. The hardship of not remembering and then you are dreaming it all.
“Grayson” This behavior surprised me even more. Is it possible that her memory has returned?
“Do you remember anything? Who are they?” I asked her slowly.
It’s past 3 AM so I’m still very sleepy. But I’m still h
Chapter 28: VacationOur Christmas vacation came. There’s no unusual happening. I just stayed at home. I was planning to tell Kyle about the names that Madelaine said but unfortunately I was always in wrong timing. So I decided not to tell him.I’m planning to investigate it by myself or I’ll ask Zyke for help. I don’t have anyone else to ask for help. Since they offered to help maybe it’s a good idea to ask them.Since Christmas eves later I decided to buy some food but then I received an invitation from Ashley.I would have refused because it was embarrassing to his family but then Zyke, Kyke and Wayne were with me. So I went too.They say that there is something in their houses but they are boring because of their relatives who are too judgmental.I didn’t want to leave Madelaine so I decided to go home early so she could be with someone. It’s just sad because she doesn’t get along wit
Chapter 29: Savior A few days later I was just hanging out at home. But I started to find some apartment that I could rent. I’ll just use my Grandpa’s money for my college, and I’ll just pay it back whenever I have a part time job. Zyke, Wayne and Ashley are going here now with Kyle as well. He planned to visit Aleng Madelaine. It will also help her not to be afraid of the many people she will meet. I also cooked food even though they said they would bring. I started cleaning the house. Kyle isn’t here yet, he texted me that he’ll be late again. I also noticed that he’s always missing in action. Maybe he’s just really busy. Around 10 AM I heard the car engine so I thought to get out. I’m not mistaken in what I thought, they have already arrived. I waved at them while smiling. They were carrying baskets. They were just in the opposite parking lot, I crossed to help them carry the basket but I was in the middle of the road
Chapter 30: New YearAfter I saw that huge amount of money that was named after me, I immediately keep it.I don’t know what I’m going to do right now.My heartbeat started to beat fast. Why do I have so much money deposited with me?Who made the deposit?"Mary!" I almost jumped in shock when Tita called me."Yes?" I said. I waited for her to enter."Do you want to go shopping? I forgot to buy something" I nodded with a smile."I’ll just get dressed""Ah go ahead" After she left I immediately prepared.I went out after I got dressed. I wonder where Julia is. She never texted me since yesterday."Let's go?" I nodded and walked with Tita. We rode a tricycle to the market.We went to the wet section to buy some meat."Do you know that we miss you here? You didn't even go home when you visited here" she said while buying meat."I was in a hurry at that time and
Chapter 31: Back to schoolWeeks Later …“Hey! Long time no see! ”“You act like we haven’t seen each other for years”“This is definitely another quiz. What happened to my vacation is the title ”Our room is full of noisy people. It seems like they haven’t seen each other for a long time. For me, it’s like the vacation was just one day.We will graduate next month. We will be busy practicing for our performance. I’m a bit nervous, we’re about to perform next month.“Mary”“Oh?” I asked Wayne in surprise. He’s back to normal, because he’s talking to me. But sometimes I really don’t understand him.Is it just jealousy?“here” He gave me something, a box. A shoe box. My eyebrows furrowed.“What is this?&rdqu
Chapter 32: What's with them?I breathed a sigh of relief as we got out from Wayne’s house. That’s really embarrassing.We were all quiet and silent. I think this is the ridiculous thing that happened. I want to forget this day but they said mostly. You’ll remember things that are negative than positive.We stood outside his house. I was the one who started speaking.“We’re going home” I turned to Wayne. He was still shame because of what happened. I can’t blame him.“All right. Take care. All of you ” He said. I heard Zyke’s laughter which annoyed me. I’m so ashamed of Wayne’s sister and then they add more!“Let’s go” I was surprised when Kyle pulled my hand. Ashley and Zyke also followed.The difficulty of my situation is this. I didn’t ask that anyone will like me!“Wait … Zyke” –“Sit there s
Chapter 33: Final Practice[THE ENEMY]“What do you want me to do then?”“Get her out of her sight. We need to find the contract as soon as possible ”“She doesn’t say anything yet”“Who would’ve know, maybe the child already knows”“Please just don’t hurt her”“You’re acting weird lately, I’m scared you might ruin the plan”[MARY POV]Few weeks Later…As soon as I entered the room, I immediately heard the noise of my classmates Since graduation is near, well we’re going to pass the valentines first.Our teacher came in so they went back to their seats.“Practice” Said by Wayne. He’s sitting besides me.I just shrugged my shoulders.“Good morning class, Practice will be held in the
Chapter 34: PromisesEvery day I ignore Wayne. I was upset with what he said to Kyle. He didn’t even think he was considered Kyle’s friend.I also didn’t know that’s how he thought of Kyle. For me Kyle is just naughty and sometimes annoying. But it never crossed my mind that he would do anything wrong.We are here today in the Music room after Zyke called an emergency practice and meeting. It’s just fun to think that he really looks like a leader. He’s getting nervous.“Guys! Where is Kyle? ” We are all anxious now. Because our performance is tomorrow.And we need a really final practice because we did a lot wrong yesterday.Kyle is the only one who isn’t here and I suddenly look at Wayne. His face was serious as he looked at me.What he said kept me thinking. I could hardly sleep at night thinking about what he said.Maybe Kyle just has a problem so he’s not her
The whole place was filled with noise and laughs of students who’s making fun. The colorful dress wearing by the students were such a beautiful view.Everyone was having fun and some were preparing for the program. Loud music immediately rang out to me as I entered the hall.I even rolled my eyes to find my companion, then there I saw Wayne carrying a piano.They are moving equipment.I approached him.“Where did you put you things?” I asked as I stopped.“Just in the room, why?” He asked in surprise as he lowered the handle.“Nothing” I said and left.“Where are you going?” He asked.“Just in the room!” I shouted and ran out of the hall.I entered the room quietly. My other classmates were preparing for the event..I was wearing a simple shirt. Violet because that’s the thing about my status.Violet for No boyfriend since birt
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.

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.

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
