Silent Cry Chapter 9 - Farewell
3rd Person.It was silent. The physical distance between Gabbie and Kiel is not even a meter apart but the internal barrier felt like a kilometer long. No one is breaking the silence or even planning to at any moment. They both want to savor the relationship that is at the risk to change with the news that Gabbie is very willing to hide forever but about to spill.It's Saturday morning when Gabbie called Kiel for a meetup and now they are on their favorite bench in a basketball court just a few strides outside Gabbie's house. Leia is not with them and that made it more nerve-wracking for Kiel. 'Something is going on' is what he is thinking the whole time. But what makes that something different is that it should be said in the absence of their other best friend."I like you, Kiel."And that's it.It was said.In a very soft and relaxed voice.Gabbie did not look at him and even veered more when Kiel pointed his stares at her in utter shock.Gabbie could not hide this forever and she wa
Silent Cry Chapter 10 - Interest
Xander.I am sitting soundly in my office while my eyes are closed at the present climate. This way is how I savor the lack of responsibilities on me despite sitting as vice president of the Evans Company. I expected this thus far ever since I got appointed just a year ago. My father needs to secure my position now that some relatives are showing interest in our company claiming that I don't fit as the heir. As if they do. That cousin of mine is a dumbass crazy rascal and to saddle this company to a man like him would be the end of our whole business. I won't allow that, never.Suddenly, someone knocked. It should be Jameson and I was right. He came with the information and materials I needed."One day wasn't enough for you to gather these? When did you become this slow?" I scoffed while examining what he got for me this time. I already made him research about this girl when my father talked about that bullshit marriage. But that info was just too little yet enough to make me invite h
Silent Cry Chapter 11 - Miserable
3rd Person.Catching their breaths as they finally stopped is now Garry and his only friend Seth's condition. They end up in a parking lot at the back of their campus. Seth is still holding both his knees while Garry hurried up to help him stand up though he, himself is recovering from an endurance game."Are you ok? Those scumbags, one day they'll pay for this," Garry spat as his eyes are now burning while glaring in the direction from where they came from.They were bullied again with the presence of many students who did not give a damn about what was happening. They watched as what they used to do as if the brawl was like one of the must-watch fight scenes in movies. But both of them crawled their way out of there. They ran as fast as they could and maybe those group of buggers gave them pity to let them get off like cowards."I doubt that day will ever come," Seth sadly admitted, hopeless. But Garry grew grudge from that even more. "That day will come," he promised to himself "a
Silent Cry Chapter 12 - Surprise
Gabbie.Two weeks have passed, no issues came to me while living here. I am still studying of course and for those 14 days, I didn't have any interaction with that devil. Actually, I have never seen him anywhere. Maybe because I go to university very early in the morning and go home only to eat dinner and then lock myself inside my room. Also, the fact that this house is insanely huge even makes the possibility of me seeing him lesser. And if you'd ask, I am so happy about that.I just knew that his room is next to mine and after that is his office which has a connecting path to his room. Our veranda is connecting and I hate that. It is also the reason why I never went to that part of my room even once, afraid to have a glance of him if ever.But with all those cases, still, we never met even once for two weeks now. I continued my life as how it was before. I studied even harder and sometimes call my family. They seemed fine or maybe acting fine despite difficulties but they will neve
Silent Cry Chapter 13 - Beg
Xander.I've been so busy these past days because for the first time my father assigned me some work to accomplish. The target is this high school dean in our school and I cuss on him for driving me sick in the head. The university where Ms. Sanchez is studying is owned by our family, worse luck. But we don't handle it first hand. The problem arose when this noble dean started to have a silent transaction of illegal book buying. He was offered cheaper priced textbooks than the official publishing company that the school is in partnership with. The payment of the students remain the same though the books became third-rate. No wonder he has afforded another manor property somewhere.I was going back and forth just to fix the issue. If this goes public, no one will carry the burden but us and not that fake and liar being.I was in the parking lot that day relieving my stressful day when I overheard some students and to my luck, he was that woman's brother. I knew his face since Jameson
Silent Cry Chapter 14 - Surprise
3rd Person."Really, I'm fine," Garry made it certain for the hundredth time now."How about your friend? Is he alright, too? Please don't hide anything from me now. I am your sister and I am on your side forever.""How many times do I have to tell you? I'm doing so great. Trust me. Those bullies like I told you before are really good at keeping promises. They don't even spare a simple glance at me now. They tremble in fear just by being close to me. So rest assured, I am fine."Gabbie let go a sigh of relief of what she heard. She has been very worried about his brother ever since the incident. 'What if they secretly take revenge on him? Or what if their parents found out and kidnap my brother and beat him to death?' She snapped on herself after thinking that horrendous imagination. But now, the thorn on her throat has been out after hearing an assurance from him. He is fine, as he should be.Whenever Gabbie would recall what happened just a day ago, she can't help but to feel thank
Silent Cry Chapter 15 - Fitting
3rd Person.Sunday morning felt so plain for Gabbie. After what happened yesterday with her cupcakes, she lost her mood to stay out of her room. Every time the incident crosses her mind, she can't help but curse internally and strangle herself with pillows. It was embarrassing.How did she even think of giving that devil a gift when she knew too well how cold and cruel he is? She might have been carried away with the taste of glee when her brother was saved. Xander did not do it to help for sure, he just wanted to flex his power and control over everyone. He just wanted to show his atrocity and inhumanity.Suddenly, a knock stole her deep thoughts and without sparing seconds, she responded, opening the door for the intruder. And the intruder was a literal intruder for this is the first time he had ever stepped on this doorway.Gabbie scanned him while her mouth agape. Is she seeing a real Alexander on her door just now?"You're seeing real," he grinned at the sight of Gabbie still we
Silent Cry Chapter 16 - Missing
Xander."Can I not marry you then?" That boring utterance has become a mantra on my mind followed by every inch of her being. Her eyes have always been capturing the fantasies out of me. Her smile has been the apple of my eyes. What the hell! Who says apple of my eyes?! Where did that corny and lame statement even come from? But dammit! I am lost every time. I am the type of person who will always find his way back to his throne of honor and pride but for some reason when I happened to stare at her face, I even forget my name. Oh shit! That's lame again.I can't fairly criticize the way she appeared because all is damn perfect that all I could do is goggle in utter amusement. Is this beautiful angel really willing to marry me? At some point in time, my thoughts revolve around that question, trying to figure out the logic and then brace myself after into believing that I am Xander Evans and that somehow makes me deserving of her.I showed her the worst of me. I am not a good person; I

Silent Cry Chapter 66 - Final

Eight months ago, during Xander's medication that seemed like a siesta for his nemesis, he gathered information about how Clyde manages the company with the help of his driver that also became his only assistant left.

The doctor who was bribed to hide the true cause of Gabbie's miscarriage was also penalized and his license was cut off for good. Xander couldn't spare it, he j
Silent Cry Chapter 65 - Healing
3rd Person's POVGabbie waited for him patiently on that green couch that didn't share some peace of mind. She wanted to be succored in the therapeutic environment of the house but she just can't get any. It is now getting dark and Xander is still nowhere to be seen. She called him many times though she isn't sure if the number is still working or maybe Xander destroyed it already six months ago.Eternal later, the door finally unlocked and Gabbie stood up to welcome Xander with so much worry in her eyes. The man's bearing now is a lot more eased than how he was when he went out.They stared at each other, wearing the same look that they totally understand without any words spilled. Xander was the first one to step towards her as she stood there still, waiting for the man to come close. Their eyes did not leave each other until they are now a foot apart. Xander held Gabbie's cheek and caressed it softly. "It's my fault," he started and Gabbie quickly shook her head in retort. "They ki
Silent Cry Chapter 64 - Desperate
3rd Person's POVGabbie continued her steps towards him, carrying the most usual look she can gather. "I was worried you've left already," she sighed out of relief."W-What are you doing here?""Me? I'm fetching you, what else?" She then grabbed his polo and reached it to him. She is cognizant enough that she's too natural to be true as if this isn't the first time they saw each other after six long months. But she cares less about it, she will act this way.Xander observed her demeanor for some time until he snatched his polo from her and continued his outfit change in her front. He was not saying anything.Gabbie then attempted to help with his buttons but Xander looked away. "I can do it," he faintly stated."Yeah, sure. Uhm, then I'll just get your shoes," she offered again and tried to get them but Xander was fast enough to take them first. "No need," he is still sounding austere.Gabbie can do nothing now but wait for him while she continued her tales and TMIs. "The weather is so

Silent Cry Chapter 62 - Unchained
3rd Person's POV"You are the most amazing person I have ever laid my eyes on. You are a gem of this universe, unparalleled.

I even became your most cursed being and I loathed myself for years and will continue to loath myself for the rest of my life. But I had to stay alive to catch your anger and grudge.

Silent Cry Chapter 61 - Obsession
3rd Person's POV"You'll end up like me!""You'll kill her!""You're not in love, you're obsessed!""You're obsessed!!"Xander opened his eyes abruptly as if catching his lost breath. He stared at the ceiling to try to calm his nerves and to recall what made him this uneasy again. It was a dream.He lifted his head to the side of his bed and saw a tranquil angel sleeping soundly. He observed her for quite some time until he finally got back his stability. But what comes after is fear of something else.

Silent Cry Chapter 60 - Sick
3rd Person's POVThe police captured Xander's father without him resisting. But the way he looked at his son speaks a lot—disappointment, rage, and grief. Xander didn't bat an eyelash since he expected it that way though he cannot face him directly. After all, he is his father. The police all went out meeting the enthralled press. The reporters and other scoop-diggers were just too many that the path was almost blinding due to nonstop flashes of cameras.Xander and Jameson were the only ones left inside the room and they are still looking at each other. Until Xander walked near him, "You happy now?" he gritted his teeth."You think I am? I never told you to do that for me. I should be the one to capture that darn man! Why did you block my way? Why?!""I didn't do that for you. I did it for myself coz I am a victim, too. Yet, unlike you, I didn't use anyone else to claim the justice I want because if appeasing my pain would result in the pain of others, ain't I the same darn man, then
Silent Cry Chapter 59 - Capture
Jameson's POV"Make sure everything is burnished. You hold the program's flow, you understand?" I am now on the technical team, giving final words before the anniversary commences. The sound engineers nodded to me to manifest assimilation of their job's importance in today's event. I took that as aplomb before I stepped out of the room.By the door stood five guards who are stolidly attentive to their assigned space. But why are security guards looking so manly these days? This is giving me some treat, you know. Unluckily, it's not in my bag this time. I have some life-death matter on my hands and giving an eye of duty to the one guard standing on my right is one step of the plan. The guard responded in kind with my unnoticed eyes on him and it tells something around the word trust. He should be taking care of these other bunches of handsome guards upon cued or else I'll be banned in Clyde's bed. This is it, this is the final show.Since Xander planned the program, I have also been
