Wearing their thick face masks, Travis and Adrian entered the morgue together. Adrian almost didn’t want to look at the corpses when the veils were removed from their faces to their shoulders. The body is still intact, but the color is different, and the face is deformed. “No, that’s not Sunshine!” Adrian shook his head while his fists are clenched. Travis pitifully put his hand over his son’s shoulder and pressed it gently. He knew he couldn’t accept that his wife was gone. Adrian quickly turned around and called Cyrus. He felt that his father was just following him. “I’m on my way there, I just caught someone who was acting strangely,” Cyrus answered from the other line.Travis and Adrian waited patiently in the car. Their personnel were also spread around to make sure there were no enemies around. The two bodies died from gunshot wounds, so the perpetrators may be just around the corner. Seeing Cyrus’s car,
“Sunshine, is that really you? What happened? Why did they kill you?” Janice is crying, and her hands are shaking while caressing a precious little jar. “Daughter, that’s enough!” Janice also tearfully hugged her daughter who was crying a lot in front of Adrian’s family. “No, Mom, I can’t accept it! Why is my sister gone now? Why is it now when I want to get back with her?” Shaking her head as she tightly hugged the place where the corpse’s ashes were located. Janice covered her mouth with her palm to stop a loud sob. It’s a pity to watch her child being so emotional. But when she caught Travis’ eyes staring at her, her look was pleading. Begging for justice for the loss of her stepdaughter.Travis sighed and looked away from Janice. He suddenly felt sorry for them because they were grieving for the wrong person. But he has to do that because there is no one to trust now except the elite people. Even Trisha and Arriana are u
“Luke, thank you, but someone already wholesaled my vegetables.” She was speaking almost in a whisper and if she could drive the young man away, she would have done it. She doesn’t know why, but she doesn’t want the two men to meet each other. Sunshine glanced again at the location of the gangster-looking man. She was afraid of him, but she couldn’t walk away when he was close. Because her chest was pounding so hard and she was afraid he would get angry. She feels that the man is a mafia. It was been a week since their paths crossed, with the man making her heart beat so fast for unknown reason. His face has an ugly aura and he speaks sparingly. It’s like he’s afraid of her too, but he’s always around. “Good morning, Ms. Shine!”Shine smiled at the lady who always approached and talked to her. That’s why she feels safe even though the man who claims her as his wife is because of this lady. Until to this day, she is still con
“Sweetheart, didn’t you like the food I cooked?” Nida asked the girl when she noticed that she could hardly touch the food. Adrian pulled out his cellphone again and sent a message to his mother. “Mom, what should I do? She doesn’t want to eat. Should I leave?” “I’m sorry, what you cooked was delicious, but I lost my appetite.” Nida raised her eyebrows and caught a glimpse of where the girl was looking. Sunshine quickly looked back at the food when she noticed that the lady was looking at her. Nida smiled before looking at Adrian. “Adrian, talk to your chat mate later after we eat.”Adrian looked up, and glanced at his wife then at his former nanny. Sunshine was still frowning so she couldn’t eat. The truth was, he is restless so he asked his mother what to do. “It’s Mom—” Adrian didn’t finish what he had to say when Nida spoke again. “Goodness, tell whoever you were chatting with that you’ll talk later, honey.”Adrian glared at the lady and Sunshine might think differently.
“You want to talk to my woman?” Adrian asked seriously, but he seemed happy looking at his wife.Sunshine squinted angrily at the man and wasn’t happy at the way he challenged her. She was annoyed because he thought of her as a child that could believe like that easily.Even though his wife did not answer, Adrian still called his mother and put it on the loudspeaker. Sunshine’s eyes widened when the man did what he told her. Obviously, she felt ashamed when she heard the voice of the elderly woman. “Son, is there a problem?” Shaina asked again when the other line was silent. “She’s jealous because—” Adrian didn’t finish speaking, and his wife quickly grabbed the cellphone from him. “Argh!”“Hello, son, what’s going on there?” Shaina was worried and heard her son moaning and seemed to be hurt.Sunshine quickly covered the man’s mouth so as not to make any more noise. She knew he was hurt because he lost his balance and fell on the hard bed. Plus, she ran over him. She didn’t want him
“My friend.” Adrian raised the cellphone he was holding and presented the screen to his wife. Her eyebrows were still raised, and she looked away from the man's hand after reading the name of the person he was talking to. “Adrian, are you with someone there?” Jessica asked again when she heard from the other line that the young man was talking to someone else. Sunshine looked at the man again when she heard the woman’s voice. She didn’t know, but she didn’t like the woman’s voice. She felt even more irritated, and felt like she wasn’t just a friend if she talked to Adrian. Adrian didn’t turn off the speaker, so his wife wouldn’t think otherwise. “Yes.” “Who?” Jessica’s eyebrows met. “Why does she need to know who you are with?” Sunshine couldn’t stop herself from saying what was on her mind.Jessica was relieved when she heard a woman’s voice and the voice seemed familiar to her. “Adrian is—” “Let’s talk when I’m not busy,” Adrian interrupted his friend’s speech, and he ended t
Sunshine didn’t know what happened, but her eyes remained alert while her mouth was closed. She was surprised when Adrian suddenly hugged her, and his mouth was on her lips. She couldn’t move because of the shock and strange feelings that filled her heart. “Please, don’t be afraid of me. Let me prove to you that I don’t have another woman,” Adrian pleaded while gently caressing his wife’s cheek. Just then, Sunshine blinked when she heard the man’s hoarse voice. She almost squinted because the distance between their two faces was only a span. Then, she looked down, and stared at the man’s lips. He continued to speak, but she couldn’t understand. Her brain was occupied with various thoughts.Adrian stopped speaking when he noticed where his wife’s eyes were focused. He was also staring at her moist lips. He was suddenly got thirsty so that he couldn’t stop his mouth from covering her lips again. Sunshine closed her eyes when she saw the man’s head lowered, and made an angle, so that
Sunshine tightly clings to Beth’s hand as they enter a huge house. She was afraid, and her chest pounding differently. She didn’t know who was waiting inside. And Adrian’s house was more than she expected. Even Beth held Sunshine’s tightly by the hand. She felt a sudden discouragement because the person whose son did something bad is too rich.Adrian’s parents were impatiently waiting in the living room. Ben was also there, and was eager to see his daughter. It was early morning, but they stayed awake to welcome the newcomer“Come on, you have nothing to fear because everyone who is waiting for you is a family.” Adrian helped his wife get inside.Sunshine took a deep breath before entering the open door. The surroundings were so bright, and her focus immediately darted on the four people sitting on the sofa. It was as if her legs suddenly stiffened when she met a lady’s gaze. She was crying while staring at her“Daughter…” Lucita’s voice was raspy. She slowly approached the girl in f
