"I'm going to kill you, motherfucker!"
Hector's voice echoed through the air as Don Damien pulled them apart. Ares smirked, wiping a bit of blood from his lips. His left eye and lip were both marked.
"Really, huh? Then let's bet who will be six feet under after tonight," Ares threatened, casting a glance in my direction.
"You two, cut it out! What's happening? What did you do, Apollo?!" Donya Valeria was furious, restraining Ares, while even Agatha held onto him.
"I can't believe you'd be ready to kill each other over a woman! What's gotten into you?" Don Damien asked, turning to me.
There was no response. Instead, I felt Hector gently lifting me up, facing everyone once again.
"W
"If you don't want this, you can just tell your family about it, especially Lola Andrada because she is the one who wants this event to happen the most, Ana. Grandpa Leoncio is against it honestly," said Ulysses so I looked at him."But why do they even want to show Solei to everyone after a decade of hiding her?" Hector asked him.Ulysses scratched his head. "If only your mom is still alive, she'll be the one to explain everything to you clearly."My forehead furrowed. "Grandma said mom had been dead for a long time. What happened? And why did she and papa die almost in the same year?"As soon as it came out of my mouth, I noticed Hector's sudden silence. He also suddenly let go of my hand so I caught a glimpse of him. His expression darkened and it remained to stare at
Hector just drove me quickly to the condo and then said goodbye and seemed to be in a hurry. When I asked him why, his answer was that he just needed to go somewhere so I didn't stop him, especially when I saw in his expression that it seemed like an emergency.I lazily went straight to Amari and I's room when I didn't reach anything. Elena has not yet returned from the grocery store and I only caught up with Via with Amari. She has no work today that's why I'm very thankful to her about Amari."How are you? Are we going to fix everything for you later? Just tell me," she greeted me as I sat down next to Amari who was busy watching. I just looked at her for a moment and grinned."I don't know if I will continue. I'm nervous, Vi. I don't know what awaits me there. Also, what if I put myself in more danger, especially
I stopped walking and looked up. I saw the full moon that served as a light to us at those times. We were both quiet so I could hear the noise coming from the party going on in my family's vast land."Solei…" He called me in his hoarse voice so I immediately turned to him."Hmm?"He frowned and turned to face me. I could see the extreme fear in his eyes so I was surprised. Is this about what I saw earlier?"Why, Hector?""Please, be mad. Aren't you mad at me for what you saw earlier?" His voice was full of pleading so I almost laughed. He grabs my hands."Should I be mad?" I simply asked him. The wrinkle on his forehead disappeared but he remained seemingly confused. His ja
I was just looking at Maureen's table, his secretary, I saw her immediately stand up and seemed even more surprised to see me."Ma'am Ana, you're here." She greeted me. My forehead furrowed."Ah… Hector knows I'm coming," I replied to her.Her expression became even more confused and she glanced at the door of Hector's office for a moment."Ah, sir is still talking to someone inside, eh," she answered me with her hand so I nodded."It's okay, Mau. He knew I was coming. I'm coming in," I told her directly.I didn't wait for her to answer and left. I knocked for a moment and then went inside. The cold room greeted me and the voices of two people.
I woke up in a dark and quiet room. I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn't see anything. It was only then that I realized something was blocking my eyes. Even my hands and feet were tied. The face of the man I last saw first registered in my mind before I completely lost consciousness earlier. It was Ares. Where am I? Why? My heart was so full of fear that I could hear nothing but the loud pounding of my heart. My thoughts were destroying me slowly but surely. I am afraid of the dark. I was terrified of the dark and quiet place. I feel like I'm slowly dying. I tried not to think but the silence was a killer too. Where am I? "You're awake." I heard someone say. My head quickly turned in the direction the voice was coming
It never crossed my mind that such a situation would unfold. What am I doing? What have I done, Ares? I never intended for that to happen! I didn't want what transpired back then! If only I were given the chance to alter the past, that would be the first thing I'd changeIt's the initial occurrence I'd eliminate from my life because it's the root cause of all this. It's the reason I've been slowly grappling with everything until now. I never meant for it to happen.God knows how sorry I am for that! I even considered forgiving him after discovering his betrayal. I still wanted to love him despite everything. I even contemplated asking for his forgiveness.Why does it still feel like this? It's as if the more I persist in the fight, the more reasons everyone gives me to give up.
It is burning me as well as my eyes and I couldn't help it anymore. I silently wept because of the intense hatred I felt in my heart for these people who did nothing but hurt me.I wanted to ask all of them how much I sinned against them so that they would do this to me, but even speaking seemed to make me tired as well.I gasped for air as I was trying to calm myself, but it triggers my feelings more mostly when I suddenly remember everything he did to me last night. I sighed violently and looked up at him that kept on staring at me still."Why are you doing this to me? Do you know what you did to me? What do you want from me?" I asked him. My voice cracked.He averted his gaze from me and turned away. I bit my lower lip and let out a loud moan. I can no longer describe
I still don't understand why I deserved to be hurt like this. I don't get the reason why all this pain turned into traumas and issues I have no idea how to resolve. I don't think I will ever have a chance to fully grasp what all these sufferings mean, because, at the end of the day, I always forgive.And I continuously forgive them even without their apologies. I still love them even though there are fears of the history they carved on my skin. I still care even if my trust was milk-powdered.I hate that I was called resilient for responding greatly to my trauma. I hate that I am being bamboozled by all the what-ifs, the how-it-happened, the go-with-the-flow. I hate that I am undeserving of this hatred, but it never left me since the day it entered.I am mad because all my life, I have been wondering what I do to de
