She showed the arm where the bomb was connected, towards her body. She smiled as if it didn't matter. "I'm waiting H, you know I don't like waiting." She said as she waved her hand with the gun. "H." I looked at my friends, they were all shaking their heads. They know that whatever I choose, it will be a dead end for me. But not for them, they can still go out in time. But my Nerissa, she's waiting for me. And our baby, I want to see her or him. We're supposed to see the doctor to know the gender. But I guess, I won't have a time for that. I won't be seeing them again. I gasped for air and faced her. "Let them go!" She smiled, liking what I said. She signaled the staff, I looked at them. They untied Nerissa's family. Aki, Carlos and Caden also helped. I saw Draco leave his seat and come to me. Caden motioned for the crew to leave. I shook my hand and shook Hillary's voice, she was happy but there were tears in her eyes. I can't fight her , she has the bomb. And no matter how fast
NERISSA "You are crying again." I turned to the person who spoke, I bent down and wiped away the tears. I felt her sit next to me and caress my back. "Everything will be fine, for now you need to rest. For the sake of your child, force yourself to eat and rest." I cried again hugging her , I was crying. I thought my tears had run out. I have been crying for a month. Yes, it's been a month since everything happened that destroyed my world. I thought everything would be fine when Hace came back. I fell asleep on the couch while waiting for them, I just woke up when I heard shouting and noise around. When I finally woke up, the surroundings were already smoking. I panicked and covered my nose to avoid inhaling the smoke. Until I saw Amanda come in, she was with some men who were being ordered. I was just looking at her when she came to me and pulled me out of the house. I was stunned, I didn't know what was happening. When we finally got out, I turned to the house that was already co
"You're a jerk for missing this out." Draco? I looked for the familiar voice, I looked around to see where I was. It was so bright, the light was so dazzling that I closed my eyes and blocked my eyes with my arm. I gasped, woke up from a bad dream. He said I died, how could I die I was only fifteen for god's sake. I don't want to die, I want to see that beautiful smile again. I got up, took a shower and hurriedly got dressed and went downstairs. I just grab a sandwich from the table and go directly outside. I looked for our driver and took him to the school, I got off with a smile. I feel like I'm floating in glee , it's still early so I'm sure they're still playing now. When I saw what I was looking for, I hid behind the plant with a wide smile. She was playing with her classmates, her best friend Alexander was also there. I waited impatiently for Alexander, I didn't go inside. He forced me to come here to the orphanage, I just want to go home. I want to see her again, maybe he'll
NERISSA "Good morning mommy!" I opened my eyes to the greetings of my children, I smiled to see them standing at the foot of the bed. I sat on the bed and greeted them with a smile, opening my arms. "Good morning my babies!" They came closer with a frown and hugged me. "Mom, we're not a baby anymore." My youngest ran away from our hug. "Son, you are not big , young women and young men, you are no longer babies in this house. You'll all be my babies, our babies." My youngest Nambe just left, came closer to me and hugged my waist. When I looked at the three in front of me, they were pushing each other. Ace pushing Nathan, and Nathan pushing Nexiah. Nexiah looked at her older brothers, I saw her take a deep breath before facing them smiling. "Mommy," he called softly, I smiled. He came closer to me and hugged my other side as well." Can we go to grandpa's house, promise we will behave there." The one who said I turned to his older brothers frowned, both Nathan and Ace looked away f
"What are we doing here?" "Come on mom, no questions please." Nexiah pulled me, Theresse and Thasia also came to the other side. They helped me enter their room here at papa's house." Come on aunty, you will like this. We're experts on this, when you go out of this room you will be unrecognizable with your beauty." "Thasia, don't worry, being aunt Nerissa herself is a beauty like our mom. No one can surpass their beauty.” Therese reprimanded her sister, but Thasia came to her and fixed my hair. I just smiled. "What are you really going to do with me?" "Relax mommy, we'll take care of you." I just shook my head at what Nexiah said, they ordered me to close my eyes which I followed. It's good not to argue with them so that it's over with whatever they have planned for me. They only whispered to me the whole time they did it to me. When they said I could open my eyes, I opened my eyes. My lips parted as I looked at the mirror in front of me. The four of them stopped and acted, Thasi
" Hi love!" I just smiled when I felt Hace's hug from behind. He kissed my shoulder, up to my head. I smiled and looked at him without letting go of his hug. " The children?" I ask. "They are all out, but they'll get home before dinner like they promise. Just that princess here is left.” He sighed as he turned to look at our youngest who was on the couch watching by herself. Her older siblings told me last night that they were leaving to see their friends. They left early so I didn't catch up, and only our youngest was left behind. I caught my breath too, Nambe was eating crackersand her mouth was open as if her enemy was on the TV. "Do you think something's wrong with her? This is the first time that she did not go out with her sister Nexiah." I asked, unable to avoid worrying. "She's only fifteen love, what could be her problem that she's not telling us." He answer as his hand massage my waist. "That's it, she's only fifteen and this is the first time she doesn't move and lo
"I'm sorry!"I said and bowed. This is what I always tell him. Sorry! Because the polo shirt I ironed burned.I was thinking about how I would see my brothers. And I just realized that the iron I was holding was smoking and that Hace's clothes were on fire on it's arm.I tried to save it and even burned my hand but I didn't care, the important thing was Hace's clothes.He pulled me closer to him by the arm. I feel guilty for what my father did to him so I let him hurt me."Sorry? Hey fool, your sorry won't change what happened!" He said, clenching his jaw . I know what he said had a double meaning.He let go of me and turned away."What else do you want me to do?" I don't know where I got the strength to speak like that."You have almost enslaved me Hace, I have been with you all my life, I do everything you want, I have nothing left of myself, I can't even see my brothers anymore. I let you do what you want, because of what my father did . But isn't this too much?" I added, sobbing.I
" Vegetables! " I shouted to those people passing by my place.I'm here at the market today selling various vegetables. Like eggplant, okra, ampalaya, opo and others. I was already here early to sell.My parents are gone and my two siblings and I are left behind. Mama is gone, and my step father never came home, so now I'm the only one supporting our family. We haven't heard from him since his last message.He was so kind that we were surprised that he didn't come home for a day until the month reached. He just left a note telling us not to worry about him and that he is fine."Young lady, give this to me" I smiled as my suki approached me."Oh, I guess you're earlier today?" I asked because she was a bit earlier today than usual."Oh, it's my grandson's birthday and I want to be the one to cook so I'm early today." she answered with a smile.I looked at what she brought. That's quite a lot too. I just smiled and gave her what she needed.When it was over, she left the other things sh
