Chapter Sixty Six
In a slow manner, I opened my eyes. My vision was blurry as I saw a glistening light above me. It took seconds before I finally adjusted it and the unfamiliar surroundings is what I have seen.
My brows furrowed and was about to move but then, I realized, I'm being tied up to the chair I'm sitting on.
"W-what the actual fuck?!"
I roamed my eyes around, there's only one light bulb and it's directly on me. Everything is all dark, messy and unpleasant. I can smell disgusting scent that making me want to vomit. I continued moving and shouting.
"Can someone hear me? Is there anyone here?!" Then, I remembered the last person I saw before I lost my conciousness. I gritted my teeth."Akira! Bitch, show yourself! I know you did this! Don't hide your ass and show me what you got, freaking biatch!"
I knew it! She didn't change after all. She's still t
Chapter Sixty SevenTwo of them ran to me first. One has a dagger so I needed to avoid it properly, another one is determined to punch me but I ducked and jumped to avoid all their attacks. Another batch ran to join them. I kicked the ass of the two and others' chests. I'm panting after I gave half of my strength. Azelyn and Akira were just watching me fight their men.All of them are fighting me now. They're surrounding me, I jumped and kicked their chest one by one in a circular motion. Groans and growls echoed. I kicked one's face and hit another one's 'down there'. I turned around to punch the one behind me in the face and give him a headbutt. I took the dagger from the one holding it the moment I turned him down, I threw it to the four. Bullseye.I was busy catching my breath, I bit distracted by the fast beat of my heart when I felt a huge impact on my head. I knelt, face crumpled because of the sudd
Chapter Sixty Eight|Vanez's POV|My muscles tensed up and my body never stopped trembling because of the cold. I can already taste the blood, it tastes like a metal. I remained lying on the ground but I didn't move even an inch, I didn't crawl. Hell, I won't.I'd rather die than crawl and beg for my life.Akira and Azelyn were now talking after she called the people in the mansion. Up until now, I still can't believe they can do such thing like this. How did they go this far? Are my father's love for Akira's still not enough? What about Yukenzo's genuine treatment to Azelyn? Was it still not enough? What is enough then? What would make it enough?I wonder how will I escape this. For me, they're just weak but their plan is well than what I expected. And... I cannot fight anymore.I'm loosing my strength, slowly..."They ar
Chapter Sixty Nine"Innovvvv! No! My son doesn't deserve this! He's not dead! No!"I was just staring blankly at the coffin in front of us. Only Aunt Sharon's voice full of misery keeps on echoing in the whole corner of the funeral room. She's been crying since yesterday, Dad remained quiet while comforting him but his eyes says it all. I'm beside Yukenzo, behind us are Lia and Vencie, Yukenzo's mother and grandma. She never stopped asking me how am I feeling and I keep saying I'm okay, my body is but not my heart.Everyone's quiet. No one intended to talk. The pain keeps on lingering inside me and my tears seems too shallow to fall in just a matter of seconds. I wiped it eventually but another batch replaced it. I sighed heavily."You can cry..." Yukenzo said and wiped it for me.I nodded and those tears seemed to hear it because right fucking then, they fell continuously
Final Chapter[A year later...]I put down the flowers on his grave, wiped out some bits of soil covering his name engraved on it.Innov Ymerson Kastle Consuelo"It's been a year. I missed you, my annoying brother." I said, smiling."And you missed some ice cream here..." I felt a hand wrapped around my waist.I chuckled at what Yukenzo said. He's standing beside me, hands inside his pockets. He looked breathtakingly handsome in his dark blue v-neck shirt and faded jeans by the way, and he become taller than me, like way too tall than before. While I'm here, seemed stuck with my previous height those past years."We missed you, Innov. I hope you're happy there..." I looked down and sighed.Because I know your life here isn't that happy at all. Days after he died, we discovered that he fai
Prologue"From now on, they will live here in my mansion. We're not alone anymore. I hope you get along with them, Vanez."My mouth dropped at its finest after hearing Dad. I then, looked at the people he brought here. I gritted my teeth when I saw the woman he replaced to mom."Are you fucking with me, Dad? Mom just died but here you are, you immediately found a new to replace her! You didn't even mourn! She's your wife! How could you?" I shouted angrily.He massaged his nosebridge."You think I didn't mourn? You're not the only one who is left hurting, who's left in pain. I also cried every night after she died---" I cut him off."Then why did you marry another woman? Why are you bringin' these people in our mansion? Where's your mourn in that, Dad?!"My tears pooled in the corner of my eyes in s
Chapter One"Oh my God!" The girl's jaw dropped, widened eyes and terrified voice, she surveyed her uniform.I put my signature smirk. Every student around us, gasped and covered their mouth. Some are cheering me and I feel so motivated as hell especially when I realized the disaster I made to the girl in front of me."What the hell did you do to my uniform?! This is fresh from laundry! Why the fvck you spilled something sticky on it!?" She shouted in a frustrated voice.She's really mad now, I can tell. Her cheeks started to become red, brows furrowed and I can vividly imagine smokes in her nose.I crossed my arms."I don't care if that trashy uniform of yours was fresh from laundry. You spilled melon shake on my uniform first, I'm just returning the table,"I have learned to control my emotions in times of this. I shouldn't feel sorry because
Chapter TwoI'm expecting some bush of plants at the side of the gate. I used to see many cars and a school bus in lined outside, but I'm seeing the opposite scenario I've never imagined. The students my age, are walking while laughing and talking with their companions. They seemed very happy and full of energy.While me, I faced Dad annoyingly."Dad, what kind of shit is this? Are you really gonna let me study in this place? I don't want here! This is cheap! I won't feel fun here!" I said hysterically.He put down his specs and gave me a normal look, like he's not even bother to my rants."Don't give me tantrums. This is your punishment for being a difficult kid. You shall study here, whether you like it or not." He said to me.My brows furrowed. He's punishing me?! What for?! How could he possibly do this to me?!"That's it! I won't study more
Chapter Three"What did you do to him?" The guy asked me calmly but the cold tone in his voice is evident.My lips rose. Hmm, is he roleplaying the hero character here? That's new, huh. No one has the guts to ask me after the trouble I made. I wonder what's with him.."I stamped him. What about it?" I said, like it's nothing to be cared of."Van.." Rocelia called me in her trembling voice, she's as if afraid.I wondered more. Why would she afraid? To whom? To him? Who is he anyway?The guy arranged his own specs and put his one hand in his pocket."Why did you stamp him?" He asked me then, he handed his other hand to the boy. He's helping him to stand.The boy stood up with the help of him. My eyes crinkled. What is he doing? I'm starting get annoyed!"T-thank you," the boy thanked him and held his books tightly

Chapter Sixty FiveHappiness comes in the right time. We just have to wait for it. We need to be patient to feel the content. Because believe me, if you wait patiently, it would be worth it in the end."Happy birthday, my princess..." Dad kissed me on my forehead, he's the first one who greeted me the moment sun rose.I smiled."Thanks, Dad." I hugged him."Where's my gift?" I wiggled my brows and joked.He laughed shortly and handed me a..."A key?!" I shouted in so much shock."Yup. I know you want a car. You can have it now. I won't control you anymore." He said.I'm teary-eyed as I'm staring at the key he gave me. Then, I jumped to hug him, this time, tighter. I'm so happy!"Thank you so much, Dad! I love you!""Anything for you, my princess."I had a literally good morning. I received co
Chapter Sixty FourIt's true that even how much we want to forget those people who did something bad to us, we ended up forgiving them and forgetting the pain they have caused to us instead.Two days after, we got back together. I forgave them and he forgave me. He waited and I took the risk again. I realized that after all we've been through, he's still the only guy who can make my heart beats fast, the only guy who dislikes my bad habits but wiling to embrace those. How ironic right? Years ago, I hated him for being a meddler and he dislikes me for being a bad girl but now..."I'm sorry for the trouble, Martin. Believe me, I didn't know. I didn't know it's your wife he accidentally killed. If I just knew it then, I would give her the justice, immediately and willingly." Yukenzo's mother, Sierra, said to Dad one time he set dinner for all of us.We're sitting in the long table, beside me
Chapter Sixty Three"Is that all?""Yup." I nodded at grandma after she asked few questions about what happened earlier.She loosened her apron and faced me."Hmm, why did you not forgive him?""Huh? I already forgave my father, grandma." I reasoned out, a bit confused.She chuckled and shook her head."Silly. I'm not pertaining to Martin, I mean, your ex-boyfriend. That... what's his name again? Lorenzo?"I put down the bowl I'm holding."Yukenzo." I corrected her."Oh, yeah! I'm happy you can now forgive the people around you. You have learned not to get stuck in the past. But why can't you do the same to this particular boy..." she trailed off.I sighed heavily. I know where this will go. I get her point, too. It's just that... I can take all the risk so fast, like before. I can't be impulsive again. I ne
Chapter Sixty Two"Oh. I gotta leave now..." Innov whistled and tapped my shoulder.I blinked, realizing what he's doing."H-hey!" I tried to stop him and make him stay here but the jerk just waved his hand on me along with his smirking face.Grr! Damn, Innov! I thought we're allies here? Annoying!I slowly faced Yukenzo. His hands were inside his pocket, he didn't even blink after meeting my gaze. Now, how will I deal with this? I need to act calm and still. Things have changed already. It's all different now."What are you doing here?" Thank God, my voice agreed with my terms."I was about to meet Mr. Martin Arnaez..." Oh. I looked away and cleared my throat.Shit! I thought... I just thought...That's so assuming of me. Stupid! Stupid! Of course, you're not the reason of his appearance here! Idiot self,
