"Why didn't you tell him where we are going? He's worried sick, Ana," Leon said immediately while we were in the middle of our way.

I ignored what he said. I picked up my cell phone when it rang and there I saw a text from the same number again.

Unknown Number

Are you on your way?

To Unknown Number

yes

"He doesn't need to know anymore. It's not that important," I replied and looked out the window.

"If it's not important, why are you going? What if it's just a troll?"

Then it's much better. I'd be more at peace if it wasn't true and I was just being lied to. My mind would be calmer in case it wasn't true. I have nothing to lose if I shoot.

"Just be mindful of your surroundings, Ana, if you don't want me to go with you inside," Leon told me when we arrived at the Aragon Estate.

I nodded at him and looked up at this super-tall building. This is different from the company where I used

    Sometimes, I feel the need to disappear without notice to know who my people are. I want to learn who to keep. I want to identify who really cares when I'm gone.But I'm afraid that there's really no one finding me. I'm afraid that I can't manage my expectations and get hurt in the end.It's not that I don't trust the people around me. But there were times that I wish people could just utter their eulogies before death arrives. So in that way, I'd be able to hear them. I'd be able to hear the truth from them.I couldn't feel anything besides being tired. I don't know where I'm tired. I don't know what caused me to be tired. The only thing in my mind is the urge to rest for a long time. I feel like I'm lost in a place where everyone knows me.I felt even heavier when Leon finally dropped me at the villa. I don't know but I feel like I don't want to go home first."Are you alright? What happened inside?" He asked me again.For the second time,

    My whole world just stopped. That even though I knew the truth, I still seemed shocked and hurt. That even though I knew the truth, I still seemed to hope that I would hear another answer from him.The deadly silence filled the whole room. I could hear nothing but my sobs and the slow beating of my heart. But the voices inside my head are loud and strong.It was as if something suddenly exploded inside me and I was the only one who felt its aftershock. It was as if I was suddenly deaf.My mouth fell open but no words came out. My knees weakened and I sat on the floor."Solei!" Hector yelled and immediately attended to me."Don't fucking touch me," I said firmly to him and pushed him away from me. "Don't you even dare.""Solei, please. Listen to me first. I can explain everything—""I don't want to believe anything from you anymore, so stop it," I cut him off and tried to stand up.I firmly wiped away my tears and grabbed

    Also, Hector could easily find and track us down when I pursued my plan to ask Leon for help. Never mind."With so much happening, I don't know where else to start," I said while still staring at the emptiness."I know what happened to you and what Ares did to you. We all know that here, Ana. What we don't know is the reason for your sudden return. Look, it's been three days since you came back here, and At least tell us what happened so we can help. Even if it's just me." Erika tried to comfort me.I bit my lower lip and violently let out the air. I sipped my coffee again. The heat it causes adds to the heat I feel in my heart."Hector was the one who shot papa ..." I almost whispered to myself because I felt like it was a knife stabbing my heart over and over again.I never heard Erika speak. I smiled bitterly and continued speaking.Dad taught me never to harbor resentment in my heart. As much as I can, I will still forgive so that I can also give peace to my heart. As long as I ca

    VERAGet back home, Ana! That place is dangerous. Once Ares found out you're staying there, I don't even know what will happen to you anymore!My chest throbbed again when I read Vera's last text. I looked down at my inbox and there I saw a lot of text from Hector. I also saw Ares' name on his last text so I was forced to read that.The previous texts were purely just finding us and wanting me back but the ones that followed seemed that he know where we were.HectorWhat were you thinking? Why are you there?HectorVera told me where you are.HectorLook, Solei. I know you're very mad at me, but please, don't punish me in a way like this!HectorI know my mistake and I'm sorryHectorBaby, come back here, please. Or get the hell out of there. Anywhere is possible, just not that place!H

    "If you want to get away from me that much, just go to another country instead of here. I promise I will let you go. I promise I will give you time to think if that's what you want. I will never ever bother you as long as I know you and my daughter are safe," he said, seemingly hurt by everything he said.I bit my lip to suppress the pain I was feeling but my eyes couldn't take it anymore. My tears started streaming down my face but I immediately wiped them away."I-I'm sorry..." My voice broke. The pain that stuck in my throat hurt even more."I-I'm sorry... I just don't know how to accept it without hurting myself. I don't know how I'm going to take it all to my heart. I don't know how I'm going to let myself mourn because of what happened to me and our baby then... then suddenly I will find out something about you... I-I don't know how to take it all, Hector. It's tearing me apart..." I blurted and burst into tears.I kept my hand covering my eyes beca

    I heard Hector smile so I looked up at him. His expression seemed to be still mocking so my forehead furrowed. "Why?" "I just find it absurd. No matter what he plans to do, he will still die," he said and shrugged. I don't know why I was the only one nervous when he said that while his friends were still laughing. "You go easy still, Apollo. He's still your brother. " We all turned to the speaker. My eyes widened when Vera exposed herself to us in her usual outfit still. Her long hair is still braided and she's really cool to look at. She's like an action star in some movies. Why is she here? "You know me, Ver. I don't care whoever it is as long as they can harm my family, I won't go easy on them," Hector said abruptly. Do they know each other? When she finally approached us, I even saw her look down at my hand holding Hector so I automatically withdrew my hand from him. She grinned and raised an eyebrow at me.

    I sighed. My chest heats up and it seems to go straight to my heart. Does that mean he wants to kill someone else?"W-what? Who?""That was the same day we received a message from an unknown sender. Someone has been watching your dad for a long time and wants to kill him but they don't get a chance because of your mom. But that day, your mom's men weren't able to protect your dad. That day, I was aiming for Ares' head but he saw me, and there I accidentally shot Uncle Dimitrius."The awkwardness I had felt before was immediately replaced by intense anger. That I was so angry that I could not react immediately. If Hector had been holding me before, I immediately turned my hand away from his arm and clung to it tightly.I suddenly remembered what he told me that day. What he said about dad's death. I didn't even pay attention to that because I didn't think he could do that before. But after what he did to me the same day, yeah, he's capable of everything. A

    That was the last thing I uttered before the chopper lifted off once more. I gazed at it, absorbing the sight, until a series of gunshots and a few shouts pierced the air."Apollo!" Ares' voice rang out, chanting Hector's name. I couldn't fathom where it came from.I turned to Hector. Sir Anton vanished abruptly as Vera sprinted towards the haystack, cocking her gun. My heart pounded, and I glanced at Hector, who was fixated on something. He appeared to be searching for the source of Ares' voice."W-what should I do?" I trembled, questioning him, but I promptly cleared my throat. He didn't turn to face me."Stay close to me, Solei. If you can't handle the rifle, let me protect you. Let's go!" He said swiftly, taking my hand, snapping me to attention.We sprinted towards the hayloft, continuously running, accompanied by a few men carrying guns. They weren't the ones I had seen with Sir Anton before; they were probably the Black Lotus.As soon as we halted, we entered the woods, silent

    "They are healthy. You will see them when you are well, so get stronger soon," he told me softly and brought his face closer to my cheek.I closed my eyes. I feel the extreme fatigue in my whole body and the pain of the wound in my stomach. I had a C-section. The last time I remember, I really tried to make it in normal delivery but my body gave up suddenly. Everyone gave in to me, so everyone immediately decided for me because if not, my children will be in trouble.I could feel Hector's tight grip on my hands so I looked at him again. He closed his eyes while his face was still buried in my neck. Apparently, resting... or praying? I smiled and almost cried when I remembered the first time I gave birth and he was not by my side during those times. It was normal delivery yet it was hard for me to carry. Because I'm all alone. Everyone was there for me, cheering me, but I still felt loneliness during those times. But now, despite the pain and fatigue that my whole body feels, I feel

    "Ares was right about you. He told me you're different than the other women out there. And I know he regrets that he used you in all his plans. What happened to us after that night, it wasn't the first time I saw you—the first time was when I rushed you to the hospital that day your father was shot by Ares. I knew I had to protect you because his group was also aiming for you. And then I never saw you again. I just found out that you are with Ares. That's when I found out everything he was planning and I had to rescue you again. And it pains me to see you hurting despite your genuine kindness. So when I saw Matthew hurt you, I almost destroyed his face after warning him about you. But he didn't listen. Your half-brother underestimated me, so I had to give him a lesson..."I felt surprised when I heard that. I suddenly remembered Matthew's broken face that was not done by Ares. So, that was him. Why is he only telling me this now? Why does he know more about me than I know about my lif

    I could feel the anxiety and pain slowly engulfing me as we crossed the road to the hospital. I didn't listen properly to what Leon said and the only thing that stuck in my mind was when he said where it was—he was rushed to the hospital!I immediately looked at the nurse's counter. "M-miss, Hector Aragon..."That's all I said because I couldn't understand what was happening around me. He seemed to understand what I said. He looked at his monitor for a moment before turning to me."Still in the emergency room, Ma'am."I frowned. "Huh? I thought he was—""Ana, I found them!" I heard Leon scream so I looked at him quickly.I didn't waste any more time. I immediately followed him as he led me to the emergency room. I can still feel my surprise because I know that his condition is critical. Why is he still in the ER?My mind became even more confused when we reached a room that was only blocked by curtains. I tried asking Leon what we were doing here but he suddenly stopped and Hector w

    Why do you need to keep this from me, Hector? what are you planningI didn't answer. I just stared at him. Measuring his gaze and how long he will go on lying to me. When he didn't really speak, I just got tired and looked away from him. I calmly went to the bed and lay down there. I suddenly felt a strange nervousness for an unknown reason."Hey..." I heard him call me.Next, I felt him sitting next to me. He caressed my cheek gently. I turned my back to his direction and tried to stop myself from paying attention to him."Baby..." he called me again. I closed my eyes tightly."Just go, Hector. I'm done talking to you," I told him lazily without looking at him.He kept caressing my cheek so I just closed my eyes.Where is he going? Does he know where his daddy is hiding so he will go to him? What will he do there? Why does he have to hide that thing from me?"I'll be quick. Don't be mad, please..." he gently said to me.I felt his hot breath on my cheek. After a while, his soft lip

    "Don't you want to join us there?"I turned to the person who spoke and saw Leon carrying wine glasses. It stopped at my side."I wish I could," I answered him regretfully. I suddenly felt sad for some unknown reason."You still can. Unless Hector doesn't want you to hang out with us anymore," he said to me seriously so I looked at him.I crossed my arms on me and looked at him intently."What's your problem with him?" I asked him. Leon suddenly smirked at me and shook his head. "His father killed your parents, Ana, as well as you. He tries to kill you many times and he couldn't do anything about it. Do you think I can easily accept that? You know me," he answered in his baritone voice.I heaved a sigh violently. I somehow understand where he is coming from. Between the two of them, Ulysses is the one who is over-protective of everyone. If Ulysses has been given and allowed all my luxuries and passions from then until now, he is not. This is one of the inherited habits of Lolo Leonc

    Everything he said did not enter my brain. I don't understand anything at all. He's giving up? Why? Why is he suddenly saying this? Where does it come from?"So, is it true? That because you love Leandro Alcaraz so much, you intend to betray mom?" I asked him in disbelief.That's because I'm still hoping that he might have another reason. That maybe this wasn't really his real reason why he did that.But instead of answering me, he suddenly stood up. I just followed him with my eyes until he arrived in front of the glass window of the study room. He looked there. His gaze was far away from nothing so I kept my gaze on him."Only my children know how much I love them... equally. What happened to Leandro was his own fault and he was the only one to blame for it. That maybe I was lacking in them that's why he did that. But it's not because I love him more than Ariza and Gascon. I did that because... it was your mom's will. He always wanted to give up but your dad just stopped him. We did

    I'm catching my breath because of the anger and pain I feel while watching her just looking at me and I can't even see any sympathy in her eyes.And I understand that.But it still hurts.Agatha laughed sarcastically. "And you're hurting now because? What right do you have to be hurt after the bad luck you brought to our family? Do you think you'd get my sympathy because we didn't love you enough?""I didn't ask anything from you since then, Agatha and even more so now. Do you even know what Ares did to me?" I asked her trembling. I looked up at her big belly. I remembered what mom told me when she visited me last week."Congratulations on your pregnancy, anyway," I said and cried again when I remembered what happened to my pregnancy."I was supposed to be pregnant, too, but Ares took that from me. After he tried to rape me, he caused my miscarriage and I couldn't even do anything to make him pay for everything he did to me. He died without difficulty. Do you think that's fucking unac

    "Where are you going?"I turned to the person who spoke and saw Hector who had just entered our room. It just woke up and maybe it came from Amari's room because they both slept there. His forehead was wrinkled as he watched me from head to toe."You didn't say you had something in mind today," he added and sat on the bed, watching me again while fixing my hair and face."Only at the law firm. I just need to talk to someone," I answered him then looked at him.His mouth was open so I looked at his lips. It was red and seemed to be calling me to give him a kiss. Even though he just woke up, he still looks very handsome. He is even more handsome with his appearance."Who?" He asked more. He slightly moved my chair closer to him and held me in his arms."It's Doña Valeria..." I hesitantly answered him.His forehead furrowed even more. He even licked his lower lip while clenching his jaw. "Why?" He asked again in his baritone voice. I swallowed."I'm not sure if she's there now, but Uly
