The night was silent. Only my muffled sobs can be heard throughout the house. I was punching Atlas' chest with my right hand while I was holding his shirt with my left hand. I don't even know if my punches had strength. All I know is that I want Atlas to feel the pain he made me feel for ten years. For making me feel worthless.
I cried my heart out. I wasn't ashamed even if he saw the weak side I've been hiding for so long. I just wanted to cry in all the pain and suffering I've endured since the moment I decided to love Atlas. From the moment I forced our marriage.
I am dying and hurting inside from the pain that only I can understand. It's unbearable for me but I am trying. I want to take this opportunity to do something.in favor of both of us. That's why I don't understand why he doesn't want to let me go even if we're just

I almost can't hear the bustling streets and the traffic in EDSA. I can't breathe in anticipation caused by the anxiety of why we're currently in Dad's car.My heart was beating wildly. It was so fast and loud that I didn't seem to know what to do. I was speechless when my Dad asked me to go out with him. I hurriedly changed my clothes, leaving Jenny who's peacefully sleeping in my unit. I only left her a note. I know it's crazy trusting a person that you just met but my instinct is telling me to.

I don't know what exactly happened after I lost consciousness. When I woke up, the familiar scent of the hospital greeted me. The white ceiling. The nurse. And the private doctor that my Dad hired for me. Everyone was watching my every move and sometimes it made me feel awkward. Even my Dad cared for me so much that it confused me even more. Until, they spilled the reason why.It's been a month since that day happened. I can still vividly remember what the doctor said that day. The words made me feel happy but at the same time it hurt. It sent me so many emotions that I can't contain them.I am pregnant.I'm pregnant with Atlas' child. The baby's grip was weak so we needed to be more careful.

Atlas' intense gaze was piercing through me. I can feel it bore holes on my skin as he walks closer to the couch I'm sitting on. Nonetheless, I forced myself to go to him even if my knees were wobbling."In my office Mr. Ramirez," I uttered when I got in front of him.There was a lump in my throat but I managed not to stutter. I want him to see that I can face him without any confusion. Without any emotional attachment. That I can live without him. That I can face him in restraint."Follow me," I added.I quickly turned my back on him. I didn't wait for his reply. I abruptly continued my pace and walked straight to my office. I sighed in relief when I finally entered my office and sat on my swivel chair. I wai

It's been a week of just staying inside my house and being lazy to go to work.Everything is tiring for me. My movements seemed to lack energy. It seemed like I am very tired of something I don't know. Seemed bored from all the things that were happening. Maybe, it is because I am pregnant. Or maybe, because I've been thinking too much about Atlas and the annulment case.Atlas occupied my system too much. Sometimes, I thought of going to him and talking about his accusations of me. The restraining order for him was my Dad's idea. I asked Dad and he confirmed it. He insisted that it was for my safety and I do understand.

I blew out a breath. I tried to keep myself composed from the anger that was slowly arising within me. I closed my eyes and leaned my back against the chair.My eyes opened when I heard the car's door open beside me. I turned my gaze there and saw Kraius looking at me intently. Concern was evident in his eyes."Are you sure you're gonna do this?" he asked.I nodded and looked at Kraius' eyes with the same intensity. I am very sure about the thing that I will do. I already prepared for this. I thought about it as well and it all ends here. In front of a big and wide building surrounded with tall concrete."Yes!" I said after a moment. I formed my hand into a fist and got out of the car. I was walking when I not

We're inside his car, but my thoughts were flying somewhere far. I lost control and I cried in front of Trina. Even if I was slapping and telling her things, I was crying. My feelings never changed.
