PEDRO fell into a dark place where he couldn't move his body or open his mouth. He was trapped in a place where only his thoughts had free will.

He shielded the bullet meant for all of them. He used his body as a shield to protect them from the bullets for a while.

Pedro only wished for the safety of his wife and child, even if it meant sacrificing himself.

He also wondered where he was. Why couldn't he move or speak? Was this the final destination for people like him who had committed many sins?

"Is this hell? I know that I have lots of sins in the world. I wouldn't be shocked if this is the gate to hell. If only I could continue my life in the world," Pedro silently prayed.

He still had the desire to return to the world. He hoped it wasn't

    The entire home was illuminated by bright lights, which gave the impression that it was grand from the outside. Observing Natalya Cadwell's home, Adrienne couldn't help but wonder why her boss wanted to trick the woman into believing he was not available for a relationship or even marriage.“It’s fantastic!” She exclaimed and he just nodded his head in agreement.“Her family is wealthy,” he explained.Although the house was built in a modern style, wooden accents could be observed here and there throughout the inside. The tall, half-rounded windows in Natalya's house contributed to the overall design of the house. "She's extremely well-off," she revealed."Her family is wealthier than mine," he said, feeling empathy for the woman, who he assumed had not seen many gorgeous homes in her life.Adrienne pouted her lips and responded, “I see.”“Would you like to live in a house like this?”“Of

You said that everything's going to be alright!” Jasmine reminded Adrienne of their conversation before the woman left for Lassiter Shipping to work. “Don’t tell me that you got fired already,” Jasmine said unapologetically. “I’d rather be fired than work with him, Jasmine.

I love chicken and beer,” she stated. “Shall we get some beers for lunch?” Keith asked. “It’s not allowed to drink during office hours, Keith.” She reminded Keith that the office wasn’t a place for drinking beers. “But we can just have it later,” she added when Keith frowned. “I love it!” Keith exclaimed, and then he ordered Pedro to get ready for lunch.

Won't you show up within three hours? Because if not, I'll start cutting off your child's fingers in advance!" the voice replied to her."No! Don't! We'll show up! We'll come at the agreed time! Just don't harm the child!" Adrienne pleaded anxiously. She was clearly afraid of what the deranged person they were facing might do."Good! It's good to know that you're cooperating. I thought it would be more challenging! Alright then! By the way, I just wanted to let you know that I take my time killing that guy!

Simple words won't affect me. I know where I stand and what I'm fighting for."The woman let out a sarcastic laugh at her response. "Really? Maybe you just don't feel the weight of every word I say. Where else would you inherit such audacity if not from your great

    Adrienne's mind was filled with questions about the words spoken by the mother of the man she loved. She knew deep down that her mother was a kind and loving person. Even though they didn't spend much time together because they were taken away by God early on, Adrienne knew that her mother was a compassionate and respectful individual. She shouldn't let herself be poisoned by the words that came out of the woman who had caused her so much pain over the years.But some things couldn't be erased from her mind. First was Carmela's face. Adrienne knew that face was filled with resentment as if it had deep-rooted anger."Can't you sleep?" the man suddenly asked her.It was already late at night, but Adrienne's spirit was still alive as if she had drunk too much coffee and been slapped multiple times. The voice of the woman continued to echo in her mind."Yeah, maybe I'm just a little stressed," Adrienne replied. As much as possible, she didn't want Pedro to see her depressed side. She was

"You're awake," he said as he entered their room, holding their child."Yes, but I can't stand because of what you did," Adrienne said irritably, glaring at him."Why, Mama? Did Daddy hurt you?" their child asked, confused. "Daddy! You are bad!" their child exclaimed."No, baby! Daddy didn't hurt me," Adrienne explained to their child."That's right, my child. I did not hurt your Mama. Mama just can't stand because we made a baby last night," Pedro said, unable to hide his excitement in his voice.Their child seemed delighted with what their daddy said.

Are you uncomfortable in your room or bed? Just say it, and we can change it," the man said to her.The morning was still chilly, so Adrienne hugged herself. She thought it would be nicer to have someone to embrace."Why am I being so stubborn? Do I need to make things difficult for us like this? Why don't I just give in to my weakness?" Adrienne said to herself."I don't have any problem. I just woke up early to help in the kitchen," Adrienne replied while brewing tea."It's almost done. Do you want to have breakfast now?" Pedro asked her.Only now did Adrienne notice that the man was only wearing a tank top and black boxers. He looked like a model who would walk the runway for famous me
