2024-10-29 19:42:56I woke up when the sun rays from my window passed through my eyelashes. I yawned and stretched my body, feeling as if this is a brand new day.
What happened last day?
I can't seem to remember any events of yesterday other than being sick and Adam being here. I steadfastly sat down, feeling surprised. Adam was here yesterday!
I remember how he kissed me and slammed me by the fridge. My mind also recalled how I sat down on top of him, making my body jolt as I feel something ticklish in my sensitive area. I was biting my lip unaware and I only realized it when I jumped out of bed to get out the room.
"Good morning,” Adam spoke by the door, stopping me from my tracks.
Adam leaned in the door frame and I noticed that his hair was wet from the shower. He was wearing a dark brown pants and I can see his sculpted abs even though his towel hangs onto his shoulder, covering the two sides of his chest down to his navel. O

As a 6-year-old, I would always draw names and play alone near the persimmon tree beside the convent. Other children don't want to play with me but my mothers will always find time to play with me when they are free. One day, they entered the big dark echoic hall so I tried following them but they immediately stopped me.I pouted, watching and peeking at them behind a pillar, listening to their conversation before entering the big hall."Did he donate again?" Mother Teresa asked."Yes." The other sister answered."He never tells me why he would always leave money for Eva, and I almost thought that he was the father of that child. But he said he was just moved by her story."Story?I tiptoed to the other pillar closer to them so I can hear them more."Who wouldn't be? Why would a mother leave her child inside a box near the trash? That's just monstrous."Box...Trash...? I thought my parents died on the fire?

Adam just stared at me and his eyes were so sad. Zach was staring at me in the same way and my eyes can’t help sliding from the two of them.How am I supposed to confront them both? How did Zach know? I need to talk about my memories to Adam..."I will leave both of you for now."No! His eyes gaze at my hand holding Zach's and he turned around without looking at me. I feel a pain in my heart but I glanced at Zach who was still observing me.How did he know?"He called me." His voice was stern and he lets go of my hand, tucking my loose strands at the back of my ear. I scanned his face, looking at his beautiful tan skin, brown hair, and his emerald green eyes...Shiny green... This green color is…I raised my hand and try to touch the area near his eyes but he grabbed my wrist. I looked back at him and he was staring at me, studying my reaction."I feel weird, Zach."I felt my ey

Fuck.The bottle hit his head and it shatters down the ground, Zach stood immediately, surprised and I held my mouth with my hands after a gasp. Why didn’t he stop it? Adam rubbed the back of his head and stood up, and hell, I can feel his dark ambiance devouring me.Shit, why didn't he just used his reflex or power or whatever?He turned to me with a sullen gaze, I bit my lower lip and I am ready to run. My eyes slid to Zach and his eyes are still wide and he looked at me like I was crazy.There's no other choice... I have to do this...I stared at Adam and grabbed another bottle, steadfastly, the one that I prepared in case my plan didn't work. I threw it at him and he catches it with his hand with his burning look and the bottle turns to ashes.I grinned in victory and he got an amused gaze and I turned to Zach. See! See! He looked like his jaws just dropped down and I wanna laugh.&

Adam drove me on his black Mustang for work. When we reached the building, he parked in front of the entrance and he didn’t turn off the engine since he was also heading to the HQ.“See you later?” I bit my lip as soon I asked.He flashed me his lovely boyish smile and nodded, “I’m gonna be at your house later.” I giggled, wanting to squeal my throat out. Gosh, I always feel excited when it’s him. I nodded at him and opened my side of the door but he grabbed my wrist before I could step out.“Eve?” he called out, his eyes looking kind of shy. He is so adorable, I lifted my brows up to ask him. “Maybe you can come with me this Saturday…” Is he asking me out?“Where are we going?” I asked, still staring at his cute and shy phase. I wanted to laugh right now, and pinch his cheeks even but I waited for his answer first.“Well, I’m going to

As soon as we got out of the room, Zach was already done with the dishes and Adam was still by the sofa so I went behind him. “Hey.”Adam turned his head and the first thing that caught my attention was his blue mesmerizing eyes. “Hey…” He flashed me a wobbly smile and my eyes dropped down his lips. I want to kiss him. I pursed my lips in, stopping my thoughts but he mumbled something.“What?” I asked and he bobbed his head outside.“Zach is outside. I’m gonna start coffee.” He stood up and gave me a kiss on the forehead. I giggled as he did when the thought of Adam being such a nice and caring attitude fluttered my heart. There’s this side of Adam that’s just so mature and brotherly, I watched him as he went to the sink with a smile in my face.Oh, Zach. Watching Adam pulled me into my daydreaming state again. I snorted at the thought and went outside. Zach was sit

After 4 days…I stared at the empty papers at my table, feeling a little empty, feeling like I have been drained. The stories I reviewed we’re already being prepared for publish and now I just want to stare at the vast space and fall to my soft, fuzzy bed. After the night at the house, it just became a week of piled work and I think I’m gonna get sick of speed running the reviews especially when Adam and I have a date tomorrow, well it’s not a date actually.I think it’s more of a visitation type of thing since we are going to Natalie’s house so I could meet Mr. Leon. Adam also haven’t been staying at the house, he’s still at his hotel and he sometimes just drop by in the office in a very weird way--- he appears out of thin air, always surprising the hell out me.I suddenly remembered the day, Wednesday, when he just appeared giving me a single rose and a kiss before disappearing away.

I had my eyes wide open as I contemplate the stars that shone in the night sky. Natalie took the duty of grilling and I tried helping her but she insisted. Adam went to a store to grab a couple of beer so I was left alone when Leon came and sat down beside me.“How’s the publishing, young lady,” he beamed at me and I smiled at him, I noticed that Natalie got her cheery smiles from Mr. Leon, maybe I just didn’t see him smile before as our boss. “Uhm, it’s better when you were there Mr. Leon,” I giggled and he laughed, shaking his head.“I don’t believe you.” He gazed up the stars stretching his back before complaining about his age. We talked about the publishing and I asked him why he chose me—turns out, what Natalie said was true. Mr. Leon planned it ever since I began giving my opinions, which I thought was just normal for an employee. As we have out meaningful conversation, I remembered

After a week, Adam was too busy managing his businesses or so whatever he's been doing. After we visited Mr. Leon, he drove me home and he didn’t stay by my house. He told me that he'll be busy for a week, and now it's been 6 days of us just texting one another after the beach. It's been one hell of a busy day for me as well, group of distributors came in, trying to make us release some of the books being reviewed and it was stressful. "Eva, do you want coffee?" Natalie barged in with her beautiful innocent smile and was followed by Zach who carried some treasure in his plastic bag. "I think she'll be having soda, Nat." He smiled at her and hands her over one carton of chocolate milk. "This is for you." Natalie's eyes shone like a kid and it made me laugh. The woman who’ll have her will be so lucky. She waved us goodbye before marching out of my office.I beamed at Zach and he did the same with me, lifting the bag for me to get all excited. &nbs

Adam's POV1657.I watched the light rays that penetrated through the water as I submerged myself on the lake. The water was clear, it was pure and it made my body calmer after doing some mortal work by the farm. I have been in this beautiful world for 10 years and have resided with the dwellers ever since. It was so different from our world before where the rivers looked more like blood than this kind of water.I have stayed under this water for quite some time now. The sun was just at the tip of the mountain when I laid my body on this lake. Now, the sun was already up high, directly above every living. My powers never left my body when I came here--- a reason why I could breathe underwater with these slightly small creatures swimming around me.I never thought there’s something more than just cruelty…I closed my eyes, letting the water take care of my body as I s

Adam and I were in his kitchen, cooking paella for our dinner. It was so fun seeing him cook, "How did you learn this, Adam?" "What, cooking?" "Yea." I put some chorizo in my mouth and chew. "Well, because of the restaurants, I guess. I taste them, so I cook them." I choked on the chorizo so I hit my chest a couple of times.That easy? What is he, a gourmet chef?It was awesome to think of but I was dying, so Adam got me some glass of water, laughing at the side. I gulped the water and put the glass down. "I guess, you're the coolest I have ever seen." He snorted at my words and I just helped him cook. As I did, Adam kept kissing my cheek every once in a while as I chopped the ingredients. When we were done, we laid the food and placed some wine at the table. "Here goes our dinner date." I clapped and he placed a candle in the middle of it, grinning at me. "What I ate earlier was the most delicious though." He winked

We reached the house after Zach drove us in his car and as we reached the door, we were just talking about some ridiculous stuffs about movies.“Dress up lady,” he spoke like an old man and I laughed at him, making his way to the sofa.“But what would I wear? Where are we going anyway?” I asked, how the hell would I know what to wear? He curled his back by the sofa to look at me in an upside down manner and I walked towards him and flicked my finger on his chin.“Ouch! Why are you hurting me?” He yelped but I knew he wasn’t hurt, making me giggle. “Just dress up your prettiest.” What is that even supposed to mean? I headed to my room and took a look at my clothes in the wardrobe. I took out a couple of dresses and blouses but my eyes laid on the paper bag from the dress that Zach bought. Should I?I looked at myself at the mirror and stared at myself for a while, well he

"This is my resignation letter." Cathlyn handed over an envelope at my desk without look at me directly."Why?" I asked. I kind of feel nothing as of the moment but I can't lose one good employee just because of our personal issues. She sighed and glanced at me. I was just staring at her, waiting for her reply."This is proper, after everything that's happened. I'm sorry, Eva.""Cathlyn." She set her eyes on me so I decided to be direct. "Is this what you really want?"She smiled and nodded."Okay. What will you do after?" I smiled back at her and stood up on my seat to get close to her. She's not my enemy but I do have trust issues in the meantime but overall, Cathlyn may also be Kate's victim, they have been friends for years, I guess that's just how it is."Culinary?" She shrugged."Okay." That's kind of great for her development, I think. I said that before, she loves cooking more than she loves literature. "Thank you for yo

I woke up seeing Adam's bright blue eyes watching me. "Hello, beautiful."I bit my lip, concealing my flustered grin that was plastered on my face early in the morning.What a sweet start of the day.I laid a peck on his lips and jumped to embrace him tight. He let out a low chuckle and I snuggled on his warm bare chest. "It's only 4 am."I hummed at him and he laid a kiss on my head. "He's here."I pulled away and with a questioning look, "what?""Dress yourself Eve." He bit his lip, looking at my breast and I swat his chest, making him laugh.I think Zach will be joining the breakfast and I'm kind of happy to have them around. But I'm kind of nervous because this will be the time when I'll know what Zach really is. I should be mad for him lying to me but it's kind of unreasonable considering that these two brothers just wanted me to be safe. I took a shower and Adam suggested that he'll do coffee.Isn't Adam too kind?

"Cathlyn, did you know what Kate did?"I asked her as we sat down at the table by the kitchen. She had been pleading for forgiveness ever since I woke up from my sleep. She was fiddling with her fingers on the table as I asked her."Yes. The thing is, I first learned the truth from the hospital.""How?" I was hurt, she already knew and she just let it subside like it was nothing. But apart from this rage, I wanted to understand,why?"The reason why you were in the flat line was because Kate injected something in your IV Fluid.""What!?" I landed my fist on the table making her jump but I don't care. "You didn't even tell me about it! It's not just a simple child fight! It was my life she tried to end!" I put my palm on my forehead since it was suddenly streaking in pain.I feel too much stress today.Why is this even happening to me? Cathlyn was wiping her tears and I have no choice but to listen to whatever it was

My eyes flung open when I heard Kate yelped. Zach was still standing by the door and he was just staring the two.Zach looked at his chest then looked at Kate with a smirk on his lips and with a glint on his eyes.What?The bullet did nothing and it's like the gun was never fired at all. My large gaze laid on Zach who was wearing such a frightening expression by the door, sneering at Kate."You have to do better than that, Kate!"Zach laughed manically and his voice was deeper than before, making even me, frightened of his mocking tone. Zach… What are you Zach…? He was cackling and I was just staring at him as Kate continuously fire the gun, trembling and shaking for what they are witnessing. Simon was just frozen behind Kate and I felt the same as my eyes never left my best friend who was slowly turning into a monster that I’ve never known before.My Zach's eyes were as green as the leaves of the tree

"Shit..." My ears were suddenly so clogged and my vision was blurry. It was so darn painful that I can't even open my eyes. I felt so weak but I cannot stay unconscious or else I wouldn't know what happened."There's no use, little flower."Little flower?Who the fuck was that?I do know that voice but why? I turned my back and tried to move but my hands were tied behind my back and I was lying on a cold concrete. When I opened my eyes, everything was blurry but it was clear that I didn’t know where I am. My breaths started to be quicker as my heart pulsates on my body out of fear. Even in this blurry motion, I can see clearly. It was Simon, that fucking weirdo."The fuck do you want?" I uttered, I am deeply unafraid but I was mad. The back of my head stings and I feel like my body was invalid, there was nothing for me to do. But now I know who my killer was, and it gave me some sense of strength to keep my pride."Feis
