“Fuck, dude, I told you she lost consciousness earlier when she saw her husband. There was this relieved in her expression, thankful. It feels like they had been through some worst shits.”“So, she had a husband?”“Aren’t you listening carefully?!”“Well, you lost me at the husband.”“Unbelievable!”I shifted from my spot when I heard faint noises again. I slowly opened my eyes, and the same chandelier hanging on the ceiling greeted me. I blink, processing what had happened when I recalled everything. I suddenly sat straight, eyes widened in horror, and at the same time, I heard yells coming from the end of the bed.I flinched because of their squealing voices. I scratched the corners of my eyes before I finally recognized who it was.“Harry…” I called his name. He was with a man I hadn’t seen before, not until now. Harry and the man were hugging each other. I looked at them from head to feet, raising a brow and totally confused about what was happening here.Harry soon realized he wa
"Hey, how are you?"I sat on the edge, grabbing his hand. I beamed warmly, even though I knew I wouldn't get an answer from him. I raised my hand, stroking his hair to the side to see his fine-looking features. This man never failed to amaze me with his confront. His long lashes were enough to attract any woman. I played with it, hoping he would wake up and stop me since he hated it when I made fun of his lashes, but nothing happened.I sighed in defeat, biting my tongue to stop my emotions from bursting out. I placed his hands above my chest, where my heart was beating. I breathed in, letting the oxygen go through my lungs."I'm sorry for leading you into this situation, my love," I whispered, stroking his chest."I didn't want this to happen, believe me. I just wanted to help you, to give us another chance to live and have normal lives."I closed my eyes, "I have no idea how it led you into this. I didn't realize you were seriously injured in your brain. They explained how it affect
“This is certainly bad.” one of the maids shook their head. A hint of vexation was evident in their expression. They all rushed towards Harry’s side.I was confused about what was happening. Why is he drunk? Did something terrible happen? Luckily he manages to get home safely if he’s drunk, though. Instead of going upstairs into the room, I slowly stepped closer, trying to take a peek at what was going on.“Sir, you need to-”“Get that thing away from me!”A loud screeching noise of shattering glasses echoed in the whole area. My eyes widened, and my heart pounded quickly. Taking a step back. Should I retreat to my lair? Harry looks so drunk and pissed off, though.“Oh god, something happened again.” one of the maids standing beside me whispered, shaking her head.“What do you mean?” I asked, whispering closer to her ear so we wouldn’t be heard at the back. The whole house filled with silence, that’s why.“Well, truth is ma’am-”“Who’s talking?! Shut up!”His thunderous voice startled
I blink my eyes, thinking of something to say. I parted my lips, but no words came out. Harry squinted his eyes, looking down at his body before looking up and was about to sit straight when I yelled and smacked him on his face, knocking him out. The situation drove me to do it!"Oh my god!"I panic, not knowing what to do. I looked around the area. Hopefully, no one saw it. Harry dropped his head on the couch, and a snore echoed throughout the site. I sighed since he was back sleeping soundly. I fixed his position, finished what I started before leaving him peacefully, and hoped everything would be okay tomorrow morning.However..."Who did this to me?!"A thunderous voice of yells echoed, making me jump and flinch in surprise. I swallowed the tension in my throat, slowly descending to the ground floor while peeking into the living room to see what was happening. I woke up with a dry throat, suddenly parched. So, I decided to get up from my bed to get some water when a commotion happ
Harry’s eyes widen, looking at me and giving me a one thumbs up. He swallowed first before speaking.“It’s actually delicious! Wow…I mean…this is great! I could get loads of this in my office.” he went for another sip of the soup.I smiled while watching him devour the soup I made for him. I was glad he actually enjoyed it somehow. He offered me to take a seat, so I did what he told me to. He snaps his finger, asking the other helpers to serve me my food. I was about to protest and stood up since I could handle myself when he stopped me by placing his hand above my finger.“Let them serve you. It’s okay,” he reassured me that I shouldn’t be embarrassed about it.I stared at his eyes, observing them carefully when I sighed and nodded in response. He smiled a little. We just sat there, staring at each other when I coughed, motioning my hand.“You’re still holding it,” I told him, and he quickly removed it, looking away. I caught his cheeks become ruddy, probably embarrassed by his move.
"Is it okay to deliver his food to his office?"They all stopped chewing on their own food just to stare at me. It was as if I had grown five heads from how they all stared at me. I swallowed the lump in my throat, unsure where this was heading. It's a typical suggestion since I felt awful about Harry's situation. Still, I remember I shouldn't go out and risk myself. It's too dodgy."Never mind, it was just a-""Well, you can actually." Rena chimed in, waving her hands. I shook my head, actually not in favor of the idea."You know what? That's actually a great idea. You can deliver food to Sir Harry. He's been working hard all his life. He needs to lay low for the meantime." Ira suggested, and the workers agreed with her.I suddenly felt uncomfortable about this setup. I opened my mouth to say something when another worker spoke."Thanks for the idea. I saw how Sir Harry grew fond of you and how he looks at you."They teased me, and Rena poked my waist, which I just laughed uncomforta
I have no idea how many hours I have been standing outside the building, looking up and watching the entrance open and close every time someone enters. They all look formal, and I am the only one wearing the dress. I was so bitten on my lower lip, queasy.I tightened my grip on the paper bag I was carrying. Eddie told me I didn't know how I would get to the top of the building. He left earlier and left me alone here. I should have told him to wait for me because how could I go home?I let out a violent breath. This is not right. I should just go home. It's embarrassing to come in looking like this even though I'm wearing a face mask."Hello, Ma'am."I jumped in shock when someone spoke. I turned to my side and saw a guard standing with a gun. I backed away, and suddenly the scenario played in my brain back then in the middle of the woods with Allen. I was shaken by the fear that he might do something dreadful to me."I-I didn't do anything wrong!" I said. My lips trembled, and my whol
"Jessica!" My whole body froze when I heard Harry's voice calling her name. I slowly turned around to see him running towards us. His eyes were fixated on his girlfriend, who leaned on the elevator, crying while clenching her cheeks. I think I went too far on that since it hurt my palm. I mentally cursed, thinking I shouldn't react violently. "Are you alright?!" Harry was hysterical when he helped her stand up. Jessica rested her face on Harry's chest and then cried there. I took a step back while watching them. Good thing Harry hasn't looked in my way. He didn't recognize me because of the face mask and the hair all tied up. Jessica peeked at where I was standing, pointing her finger at me. My body went numb, and my hands trembled in fear when Harry turned his heel on me, narrowing his eyes into slits while staring intently into my eyes. I took a sharp breath when he pulled me out of the elevator. "Who do you think you are?! And why did you slap my girlfriend?!" Harry shook both o
“I-I…” she lowered her head, her vision was staring on the floor. She couldn’t find a word to say after hearing everything what I had said. I smiled, tilting my head to my right while waiting for her reaction. A drawn-out earsplitting silence filled the whole room. I glanced at the man who was standing behind her. He took a step forward before placing his hand on her trembling shoulder. Her wails almost filled the whole room, and it was followed by her siblings. “I-I d-don’t know what to say…” She doesn’t need to weep that much but I understand her reaction. It was heart breaking, even my heart could still cry even at this age. I let my head rest on the heard board when her hold on my hand tightened. Harry cups her cheeks, wiping off the tears that were pouring. She looks up then their eyes locks for a minute. “Your mother fought so hard during her younger years, Ettasha…” “She’s a brave warrior.” “But…” Ettasha spoke again, looking at me from her shoulder. “What happened to my
I threw away everything that can link to their whereabouts. I have to make sure everything is put into its place. Leaving print marks would impairment my disrepute. I will never…ever let them know about this.I escaped once. I am not going back again in that atrocious point. I glanced down, noticing that my whole body is beaded with their blood. I cursed, thinking of what kind of body lotion I would use to get rid of the smell. I took a glimpse one last time at their faces that were pale. i grab my mother’s jaw, tilting it to the side. Well, except my twin because he’s the last one whom I killed. His body is still warm but he’ll die.I arrange them here in the basement. No one will know unless someone will break in here.They have to go through me first before they set feet in this house. I breathed out, and was about to pull out the hem of my shirt when I saw something is sticking out of Nathan’s pocket. I took it, my eyes squinched while observing the identification card. Looks lik
“Set the alarm! Shut the gates!” I let out a bestial grumble that vibrated through the corridors, and floors. I could perceive their shrieks of torture. I breathed in, and out. My caliginous hooded eyes were shooting daggers as I watched how they run for their lives, calling all the authorities. Two decades. I have been trap here for almost two decades. Yet, none of them did ever to come here for a visit. I showed my chiseled set of teeth while extending out my long arms. My sharp claws flared, lustrous when a light hits it. Everyone was out of their sanity. Some were crawling, making their way out of the Asylum. Thanks for their crackbrained staff that was new here, and accidentally left the keys in my room, I managed to discharge. I can cognizance the consuming flow of rage streaming through my blood vessels. I step on Dr. Victor Mend’s ankle, halting him from what he is planning to do. He’s trying to escape from this place. I joust my head playfully, my hooded sinful eyes were s
Harry couldn’t formulate his words. As if they were stuck at the tip of his tongue. He was contemplating whether if he should let me or not since it’s chanceful for my condition. He have to let me. I can’t let my husband die out there.“Harry…please!” I drop on my knees then clasp my hands into a worship posture. Harry was bewildered, panicking when I kneeled before him. I parted my lips to breath because my nose was clog.“You have to let me, Harry.” I mourned, consolidating for him to get his approval.“Natasha…” he was in deep sorrow to see me on the ground. Tears escape from his eyes while they lingered on my features. He chip his lowermost lip until blood was gushing out of it. He heaved a sighed then closing his eyes.“Just don’t fucking leave my side, okay?! Your situation can worsen, and I won’t let that happen!” he screamed but afterward I jumped on him, my hands were wrapped tightly around his neck.“Thank you…” I mumbled against his ear. Harry was silent for a minute before
“No…”I slowly dropped on the ground while staring out of nowhere. My heart is sinking into the bottommost of the pit. I couldn’t even feel my body anymore. I don’t know what to think, or what to do. Harry is just watching me while my whole body is exploiting down into the ocean floor. I was sinking like a body that has an impairment.I couldn’t breath.I couldn’t process everything.Harry kneeled down when his men started to assemble everything. I felt the ship turned on its engine, signaling that it’s time for us to move forward. Everyone was doing their part. Someone hoist the anchor, and the propeller ignited. My eyes squinted on their own, ogling at my own palms that were covered with blood, bruises, wounds, and battle scars.A stinging drop of tear pour down, streaming on my arms. Everything was hard for me to take. This whole thing was hard for me to consume, and digest. I gradually clenched my trembling hands before hanging my head low in shame.“I’m sorry, Natasha, but we can
We need to hurry up, and go to that ship! Harry was waving his hand, motioning for us to go onward. He was shielding himself so Auger’s troupes won’t come for us. Ethan was holding my hand securely. My lips were parted slightly, while catching my breath. There were times we almost stumble on something but Ethan was too quick to dodge it.I could almost see it. The ship was waiting for us. Even a whole populace of football stadium can fit in that. I caught some of his men were waiting in alignment in front of the ship. Some were coming towards our way while holding solid, and heavy guns. I don’t know how Harry manage to call for a back-up that quick, and how any of them did not realize that he was calling someone. However, I am glad that they were so engrossed from their leader’s story.“You guys need to get there quickly! We’ll hold them off!” Harry shouted at the top of his lungs before firing at someone. The blasting noises was enveloping my ear drum, deafening my hearing.“H-how a
“So…” Auger clasped his hands together, looking at us with imperil in his eyes. He slowly squat so he could even his face to Ethan. My husband growled, thirsting to reach Auger’s face so he could gash it into pieces. Before he could take a hold on him, I raised my upper body then block my body, ceasing him from his thought.Ethan was screeching like a savage he is, letting out an animalistic rumble. He was prepared to alter if it weren’t for me halting him. I know how mad he is right now, and his emotions are acceptable. However, I can’t afford him to do anything heedless. He needs to calm down first!“Ethan! Please!”It seems like he couldn’t hear me, nor he doesn’t notice me at all. My voice was hoarse from screaming, and begging for him to stop. I know it pains him to endure like this. I know how hard for him to accept this. The only hope we have was taken away from us with just a snap of Auger’s finger. All of our endeavor was thrown away.I hugged him tightly while weeping in tea
“Come on! Let’s move! Let’s move! Let’s move! “Harry was shouting at his men to move forward when the helicopter landed successfully on the ground. I couldn’t help but to cry when everything was going smoothly for us. After countless of attempts to run away from the grasp of authorities, we finally landed to our destination.Words can not describe how overwhelm I am right now. We wouldn’t make it this far if it weren’t for Harry’s help. I closed my eyes firmly then caressed my cheek to remove the tears that fall off. This is it. We’re almost there. One step is all we need.We’re going to start a new family on our own. Harry will help us to changed our identities, and do a plastic surgery. I know it’s a tough choice to convert ourselves into a new citizens, and fake our personal identity. However, we have no other choices. The authorities here are going berserk just because of Ethan’s criminals record, and his curse. They will not let him get away with this.They will do whatever it t
“We are not going to make it!”A tear leak when the former pilot yelled at the top of his lungs. I heard the gasps of agitation coming from the other passengers here. I lifted my head to see Ethan was doing his shot to fly this thing out of the heavy weather that is approaching us.“ETHAN!” I called his name because his veins were throbbing on his arms. His teeth were gritted together, and his eyes were angst.I called his name again, stretching out my arms just to reach him. However, I felt Harry’s grip on my dress, pinning me on my place because the chopper was spinning, and is acting up.No…I couldn’t risk this without holding him before my last breath. I have to hold out, and tell him everything from the bottom of my heart those words that I haven’t tell him. It was inconspicuous to see clearly because of my weeping. I implored for Harry to let go of me but he did not listen.He was shaking my shoulders, snapping me back to actuality. He was yelling something in front of my face w
