Chapter 20: A sudden confession
“So are we just going to stare at each other?” I can’t help but to sound bitter. After crying we decided to go here to our old placed where we used to hangout.
The vast field as we leaned against a large tree. When we were young we always played here.
“Sorry Mary” She said with a teary eyes.
“I want a complete Jul” I beg her as I held her hand.
She deeply sighed before uttering the words that made me freeze.“They’ll kill you if I don’t do that to you …” She started crying again. Why does it feel like I’m in danger.
“Who are they?” I confusedly asked her.
“You see … your family is rich” I frowned at what he said. We’re not rich, we’re not poor either.
“How did you say that? What do you mean?” Astonished I asked him. He smirked before looking at me seri

Chapter 21: Her answerI woke up when I felt a faint tap on my shoulder.I opened my eyes and felt like I didn’t want to wake up. I’m still sleepy.“It’s six o’clock Mary we need to leave” Ashley said. I finally opened my eyes and realized that she was dressed while I was still messing up my hair.“All right I’ll just change my clothes” I said softly, I waited for her to leave before I stood up. My eyes were still wide open when I stood up.I handed my bag and went straight inside the comfort room. I just had a half bath cause I couldn’t handle the coldness of the water. I’m still cold.On the way down I caught up with Zyke and Philip who were already preparing food.“Let’s eat first” Zyke whispered.We ate together and I felt something was wrong. They are all quiet. Which I’m not used to.After this meal, I went to their school; Ph
Chapter 22: A sudden confrontation There are people who really suddenly don’t pay attention. You don’t know if you did something wrong or just hit that person. In all classes he ignored me. Yes, I know that at first I didn’t really want to talk to him but he made me used his treatment to me. Why now he suddenly stopped. He is quiet or should I say he is quiet when he is with me. He was talking to my classmates but when he came to me he couldn’t even look me in the eyes. We’re on our way to the music room, the class is over so it’s time for practice. We walked together but no one spoke to either of us. I wanted to talk to him but my tongue receded and the word I wanted to say was missing. Upon entering the room we were greeted by a smiling Kyle. He was looking missing but I avoided him. “Tss” I heard Wayne say. Wait is he jealous? Or am I just assuming. What’s his problem? He looked like he’s carrying the heavy ear
Chapter 23: A day with him The next day I could barely speak when Kyle came to pick me up. Of course the Vescinzo saw him and asked him a questions. I somehow felt that they look like my family. We walked quietly down the road and the silence was deafening. It’s better to be talkative than to be quiet. I just asked him about Madelaine. Cause I can’t find the right words to say. “She’s okay, she’s talking to me and she won’t show up as Monica” He said almost laugh. I asked him how was Madelaine. “Do you ever think of surrendering her to the police?” He suddenly asked, he glanced at me. I have no intention of handing her over to the police because there’s a side of me that I want to take care of her. But it is not possible. The day will also come when the police will see her. “I don’t know …” I could only say. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of her” He said and glance at me, We stare at each for a second then he smiled at me. I felt
Chapter 24: Practice Aleng Madelaine was about to hurt me when Kyle suddenly came in and it was a good thing he stopped Aleng Madelaine. Kyle shot her using a syringe. “You shouldn’t let him hold sharp ones” Kyle said as he helped Aleng Madelaine to sit on the sofa. While me. I’m still in shock. “I’m almost there” He approached me and what surprised me was that he hugged me. “I’m suddenly nervous for you” He said. I left to hug him. “Is he okay? What did you inject her with?” I asked and left the kitchen as well. I felt Kyle following me. “It’s just a sleeping pill. You know” He said and stood beside me. After what happened when Aleng Madelaine almost stabbed me, we focused even more on her vigilance. We hid all the things that could possibly trigger her personality. Tomorrow we will practice again. We finished class early so I did nothing but hang out at the library. It’s just the quietest place I can g
Chapter 25: Case closed “We are serious Girl, you don’t have to suffer anymore. It’s proven that you are not an accomplice. ”I smiled at what Inspector Velasquez said. Seriously, I didn’t expect this day to come. It seems like only recently. I was also excited to go back to Aunt Melody’s apartment. I have no news about her either. “Thank you” I said as I looked at them. I’m still not confident knowing that I lied. Well at first I really had no intention of keeping Madelaine but I found something interesting in her life.There’s something about me that I want to help and take care of. I’m ashamed of Kyle too. It’s a good thing our conversation doesn’t become awkward because of his confession. Maybe I’ll start looking for a job too. I don’t want to spend Grandpa and Grandma’s money. I also don’t want to go back to our province, not now. My first real reason when I came here to the City
Chapter 26: Jealous I quickly arranged my belongings when we arrived at Kyle’s house. I am very grateful to the man because he is so good to me. I really don’t know why when my first impression of him was a pervert and bad boy. Since Saturday. I just wasted my time talking to Madelaine. Kyle is gone now because they seem to have a family reunion. Ever since Madelaine almost hurt me, I’ve been talking to her even more. I make her pay more attention so that she doesn’t get bored and change her personality. Even though we’re the only two here, I’m not scared. I feel even more sorry for her. I also asked her questions but she didn’t really remember anything. If I look at Madelaine now. She is very different from before. Because she was filthy then but now he seems to have a family that really takes care of her. Monday came and I woke up early, I was alarmed because I might be late because I live far away now. Kyle d
Chapter 27: Birthday SurpriseA 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
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.

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.
