"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

    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

    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

    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

    The people around kept running away from me. Some of them even stumbled down, out of their own tables, their eyes fused with such fright before they sprint away. I tried looking around but all of them are just gone. I heard screams, and the blurry cries of the children was ringing in my ears. But why are they looking at me? I took a step forward just to get a hint of what is going on but my knees trembled, causing it to fall down the ground and my body – my body seemed to splatter down the cold hard ground. There is something buried in my chest and my breathing seemed so heavy--so difficult. Everyone seemed to mind their own lives, that they never cared about other people, they are so scared that it actually disgusts me. No one even came near to help. How fragile can they be? That they never considered helping those who are in desperate need of a hand, just to save themselves. Cowards. I let out a small chuckle but got choked in my own blood

    The moment I woke up, Zach had a wheelchair ready, we went down the hospital so I could, for once, feel the breeze of the air. He brought me to the garden in the hospital and we stopped by the fountain in its grounds. "I feel hungry." "It's only been one hour, Eva." He grinned as he leaned back with his arms supporting him in his resting position. From this angle, his gorgeous tanned skin actually contemplates the color of his eyes and hair. His jaw tensed as he gritted his teeth, feeling the sun's fading rays, and it really looked good, he looks great but somehow I can see that he's under his deep thoughts, I wonder why.I at least want to see him happy with someone than being stuck with me. "I'm serious Zach. Why don't you try to go out with someone? It's better than you, always bothering me around." I beamed at him. "It's better to be stuck with your old lady senses than date, nowadays." "What? I am not an old lady, Zacharias!

    "W-what are you doing in my house?" I took a step back, I might have asked who he is or where the hell did his good looks come from but the fact that my killer hasn't been found yet has entered my mind uninvited, making me tremble. I was about to take one more step backward, away from my room but he was gone in an instant! I felt my back touched someone else's body so I roughly turned around and he was there! I stumbled back, scared of him, scared of what's happening. I stared at him and dig my nails in my palm to see if I am hallucinating or even dreaming.But I am fucking not! And he is really standing right in front of me!He looked at me like he was having fun watching me frightened. I shook my head, gathering a lot of courage to speak up. "Are you my killer?" My voice broke in the middle of the sentence. He then sat down with his bent knee and laughed in a way that feels more of scorn. "I could have killed you back in t

BUT IT WAS NEVER IN A ROMANTIC WAY, no!I have been his maid for consecutive days! I wash his clothes though I wonder where those clothes are from and why does he have so many stacked up with 'my' own clothes. It's as if he's been living here while I was gone—well that's not even impossible. We never shared the same bed, of course. He sleeps in the guest room, well—thank goodness, there is a spare room on this house. I never thought that i

    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
