On the day that Tiger filled an expensive urn with Sophia’s ash, he couldn’t hold his tears back.He carried the urn back home and then lay down in his bed motionless.Silas had been busy the whole day and only went home when it was around midnight.“Tiger, let’s bury Sophia!”Tiger looked at the ceiling light and let out a laugh as he held the urn.“Why is she so foolish? The boss simply asked her to protect the madam. He didn’t tell her to die for her.”Silas also felt upset when he thought about it. “She had never encountered anyone as pure as the madam when she was back at the camp.”Tiger closed her eyes. “I’ll avenge Madam and Sophia!”He gritted his teeth. “Even if I have to travel the world, I’ll find him and kill him!”Silas said nothing.Tiger sat up and carefully handed the urn to Silas.“I’ll leave Sophia in your capable hands.”Silas nervously asked, “What are you up to?”“Don’t worry about me. I won’t die before I catch him!” Tiger ran away despite his fatigu
Only at this point did Silas realize that without Tiger, he was like a man without an arm.Koi Gardens.No matter how good Conrad looked, with his pale skin and wearing a hospital gown, he looked like a mad man running around barefooted in the middle of winter.When he reached the apartment that once belonged to Fia’s mother, he knocked on the door, but no one opened it. He then kicked the door and it collapsed.He walked on the door, and began yelling, “Fia! Fia!“Fia! Don’t hide from me! I know that I’m wrong now! Come out! I won’t do anything that will hurt you again!“Fia? Fia!”He started yelling from the living room to the kitchen to the bathroom, and then at the washroom. But there was no sign of Fia anywhere.When he reached the bedroom, he looked at the blanket that was folded properly and let out a smile.“You’ll come back, right? Fia?”He lay down on the bed and sniffed at Fia’s scent, and he held the blanket tightly.Suddenly, he touched something hard inside the
The tears fell on the diary as Conrad felt like someone had stabbed his heart.He had never noticed that little coward’s feelings for him. Never!He had never asked if the person she was thinking about was him. To think that she had fallen in love with him so many years ago.And what did he do?He began reading her diary. She had written so much in the remaining years.From her years in elementary school to her years in university, and to the years that she married him.He kept on reading and even wished that she had a boyfriend when she was in her senior year or in her university years. That there was someone she really liked!But it was all about him.What he did, what he said, she wrote down everything.He could feel her muted love in her written words all those years…Conrad could only slip down to the floor as he held her diary, his tears kept on falling.If only he had noticed it early…If only he…“Pfft!” He coughed out a mouthful of blood, and his amber eyes became
“Esme, she’s your mother,” Hank said in a tone full of fatigue. “You’re too brutal.”“Ha!” Although Esme managed to inject drugs that could keep her appearance in time, some of her original features were exposed. But her face was all swollen.Hank then said, “I can accept that you want to hurt Louise because you’re my daughter. My only daughter. But I never thought that you would kill your own mother! She gave birth to you! She loved you! How could you do it?”“You forced me!” Esme said viciously. “It’s because you didn’t side with me! You made me into what I am today!”Hank was absolutely disappointed. “You’re mad. I shouldn’t have come to visit you!”“Then scram!” Esme howled. “I didn’t want you to visit me anyway! Scram!”Hank got up and left, crying as soon as he turned his back on her.Esme looked at his father’s back which was getting hunched, and she couldn’t help but silently cry as well.The next one was Peter. Despite it being winter, he wore a short-sleeved shirt and
Esme could only stare at her, dumbfounded. The only person who treated her with some sincerity in the entire Thomas household was her.“You bought so many things for me, and they’re all my favorites,” Mrs. Thomas said as she wept.Esme simply said numbly, “If my mom was like you, I… I wouldn’t have ended up like this.”Ever since she was little, she had always been scolded by Beth. Saying that she had to be the best. That she had to claw her way out in the world!That she had to be in the spotlight! That she had to be the apple of everyone’s eyes!Beth taught her to steal, to be ruthless, to be fake. No one taught her to be compassionate.Even Fia. Perhaps, she and her mother did once treat her as family. But her mom would always tell her not to lose to Fia. No matter where she would go with her, her mother would always prepare the prettiest clothes for her so that she wouldn’t lose to Fia.Beth would quietly tell her that Fia was a child without a father. That she couldn’t lose
Bang!Silas immediately opened his eyes. “Sir!”Conrad was not in the ward, but the window was open.In that instant, Silas could feel cold sweat drenching his back as he ran directly to the window.Then, he saw Conrad on the ground below the window getting up with difficulty. He then dragged himself away with his already injured leg.Silas wanted to curse.He didn’t know what was happening to his boss! It was as if he was being possessed!And he was also torturing himself more and more!As soon as Conrad got out of the hospital, he didn’t care about the cars at all and simply walked on the streets.One by one the cars all avoided him. Some of them even rolled down their windows and cursed at him.He didn’t react to them at all and simply walked further ahead on the road.There was a screech, and a van stopped right in front of Conrad.The driver gripped the steering wheel tightly, and her face was filled with hatred.She gritted her teeth and was going to step on the gas.
The driver got out of his car with shaky legs. He had already taken out his phone to call for an ambulance.He didn’t want this to happen either. He kept on apologizing, and even his voice was shaking as his tears flowed out.“I’m sorry… I’m so sorry… Please don’t let anything happen to you!” The driver kept on begging as he looked at Conrad coughing out blood.Silas held Conrad’s hand as he whimpered.“Sir, you can’t leave us. Without you, what should we do…?”Five years later.An island on the equator.The sea was turquoise blue, the weather was quite hot, and the leaves of the trees were quite cold.A slender figure walked out behind some trees as she walked on the beach barefooted.She had thick black hair that was tied into a braid behind her.As she walked, her braid would flail behind her left and right by her waist.It looked pretty scenic when put together with the long white dress that she was wearing.Because of the long exposure to the sun, her skin was of a hea
The girl took the fish in Fia’s hand and walked ahead. “Just sleep.”The man hugged Adrian and Irene, and said with a sigh, “Adrian, Irene, have you all noticed?”“What?” The two children looked at him innocently.The man said, “She’s angry at me.”“Mommy won’t get mad at you!” Irene hugged the man’s neck and kissed the man’s face. “Mommy likes Daddy a lot!”The man smiled happily. “Then do you like Daddy?”“Yes! When I grow up, I want to find a husband just like Daddy!”Adrian frowned and stretched out his small, plump hand to hit Irene’s arm hard.“Ah, bro! Why did you hit me!” Irene’s eyes were filled with tears as she felt extremely aggrieved.“You’re talking nonsense. There is only one Daddy! No one would be like Daddy!”“Alright.” Irene sniffled aggrievedly. “I was wrong.”The woman walked ahead; a smile lingering at the corners of her mouth.Each day, as long as she heard the voices of the two children, she would feel very content.In the middle of the night when ev
