Silent Cry   Chapter 1 - Dilemma
Gabbie. "Why does this have to happen to us?" my mother scowled in distress, still sobbing while holding my father's dead-cold hands. I stood there still, my hands trembling while trying to submerge into my mind what the doctor has stated a while ago. My father is now in a state of coma. They are unsure if how this will long or if he will be able to gain consciousness again.My tears continue to flow as I tried my best to lift my legs out from my ground and slowly reached out to my mother. Though I am feeling so weak, I must regain my sanity just to provide her strength. I bended my knees and carried her to stand. She was kneeling for quite a long time pressing my father's hand. "Let's be strong Mom. We can survive this." My voice cracked because I've stayed silent for a long while. I brushed her shoulders to give her hope and thankfully it worked for as long as I could see. She stood up and glanced at me with her swollen and red eyes. Her hands now holding mine on her shoulders.

Gabbie. "Gab, if you need anything just tell us, okay? We'll find a way to help you," Leia, my friend since high school, offered while pressing her hand on mine. We are currently in one of the parks here in the university. We are forth-year university students majoring in Film and Creative Media Arts and if you'd ask how far our journey went, it was the rockiest road ever! We've been through thick and thin just to continue until graduation. You know studying has been difficult for everyone but in a different hardship to students who barely afford it. But this is my dream school and dream course for my dream career in my countless reveries so even how terrible the path opened to me, I managed to walk through. I smiled at her. "Thank you. My father's boss already took care of all our hospital needs so don't worry." When talking about social status, we are same striving hard to survive. Leia also has current problems to settle so I won't bother asking for help. Her presence is enough

Gabbie. The dine was awkwardly silent. We can only hear spoons and plates crashing to each other as we all look down pretending to be attentive to the food yet our minds linger somewhere. And yes, it's the marriage proposal. Flashback*"I know this is a bit shocking and I know that your daughter is still in her university years. But please see this offer on its positive side. I know your husband is your support and due to his current state, it's a total loss for your family. I could pay for his hospital bills and needs until he finally recovers but what about your daily needs? Your children's education? I could support you for all those due to my gratefulness for the 10-year service of Mr. Sanchez to me. But to prove you my sincerity, I would want you to be officially part of our family." "But Mr. Evans, I think marriage is quite too much for us. You know our family's status. We are not from those that could be deserving to be part of your family. And our children are strangers to

3rd Person's POV It was past the setting of the sun and the surrounding is slowly turning dark. Just a while ago when the three best friends separated their way home and Gabbie is now waiting for the bus to come. She silently sat there with her earphones on. It was tranquil and normal not until a black car stopped in front of her grabbing her attention. The driver then walked out of the car and approached her with his friendly face. Gabbie took off her earphones to lend the man attention. "Ms. Gabriella Sanchez, our boss invited you to come to a family dinner. Please come with me." Describing Gabbie as surprised is an understatement right now. She was beyond jolted and did not know how to respond. "Family dinner? B-But I was not notified about this, Sir." She tried her best to reason out her bewilderment. But the man just smiled at her as if already saw that coming. "I can call our boss right now and let him talk to you," he assured. Gabbie gathered all her thoughts and finally

3rd Person's POV "Let's get married." He pronounced as if none important, as if marrying someone would cost him nothing. "Why are you so dazed? Isn't that the reason why you agreed to come here?" Gabbie is now even more unable to speak. His tone was intimidating. "Or do you want to know more about me first?" He leaned on his chair as he fixed his coat and spoke, "As you can see, I am very capable that I can lift your status to the top of the world in just a second," he scoffed. No, it was not intimidating, rather insulting. "If you're curious about my education, my family background, skills, hobbies, and all, I am assuring you, I am more than what you expect." Gabbie could not believe what she is hearing. From the way he talked, his words, and even his expressions, she could not be more certain of her decision in the first place. She isn't marrying at this time, and definitely not this man. "Or maybe you're curious if I can give you the best sex, or if I can give you child...

Gabbie. After class, two days after the incident in the Evans' mansion, I rushed to Mr. Evans' office when I heard he came back already. Fortunately, I got appointed immediately when I made the secretary in the front desk call to the CEO's office. After five minutes of waiting in the lobby, I was escorted towards him. "Yes, come in, Ms. Sanchez. It was a surprise you came today. Should I expect some big news from you?" he pronounced while welcoming me and making me sit down on the couch but I refused to. "I will make this quick Mr. Evans since I know you're also busy with other appointments but I want to say, I refuse the marriage proposal," I bravely stated but his reaction didn't even flinch instead, he just sipped from the tea that's already on his table. I waited for what he'll say. He is currently looking somewhere else as he made a deep gulp on his drink before he faced me. My heart started to thump heavily again and the strength I stored before coming here is now slowly fad

Gabbie. It was during our morning's last session when I got a message from Garry's school saying he got himself into trouble and I'm requested there.My eyes instantly widen up upon reading the context. That kid, seriously! What did he do this time?! Since using a cellphone is not advisable for this class, I discreetly replied saying I will be there this noon. Kiel noticed me quite unsettled so he leaned closer to me to check what is going on. He sits beside me, and Leia is in my front."Is there something wrong?" he inquired. I painted a smile and says, "The good brother of mine just put himself into trouble, again. But don't worry I am going there after this class."He nods, "Do you want me to accompany you?" He offered and I immediately declined and assured him that I can do it alone and safely. Kiel has become very attentive to me since this morning. He bought me snacks and gave me water without me requesting anything. He even carried my bag when I went to the bathroom and did

Gabbie.I did not attend the class in the afternoon. I have no courage to. I just cried at a near karaoke bar, locking myself in one of the cubicles. I texted my friends earlier that I am not feeling well but it's nothing serious so they don't have to worry.Despite that, my phone kept on ringing and it's just them two trying to reach me out. I'm sure they have sensed something wrong so they wanted to confirm it. But I can't answer any phone call right now. My voice will crack and it's hoarse from sobbing nonstop.In the end, I just turned it off.6:30 when I checked the time. Those long hours of being alone here have at least eased off some of my hatred and I think I am ready to go home. I retouched myself a little before stepping out of the cubicle. I am not a fan of going to nightclubs or karaoke bars, I just have to this time.The place is far more loud and brassy outside, people chatting here and there, dancing and singing all over the place. I put my two hands on top of my ears w

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

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

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
