We quickly went to her car, and she had four dresses hanging in there and asked me to choose. All four dresses are revealing. All four are bodycon, two have v-neck, and I'm sure if I wear it could show so much of my cleavage. The two others are backless, all four dresses are short, and I'm sure it could only reach mid-thigh."These dresses are too revealing for my liking.""Athena, all women in the clubs wearing dresses like this. Come on, choose one." She urged. I sigh and choose the backless one. It's better to show my back to others than my breasts. Winter wears a V-neckline dress that reaches the middle of her breast. It was black and only reached mid-thigh. My dress was also black but had a red-like belt on the waist, and after that, she handed me black knee-length boots.After changing our clothes, she did my make-up as well as hers. Then we drove to the club.I felt nervous after we parked in front of the club. Many people were outside queueing, and I could hear the loud music o
I paid the cab driver and quickly went up to Zachary's place. I almost ran to his unit when the elevator opened but stopped to see black garbage bags outside the door. What is happening? I went to the garbage bag and checked what was inside, and I covered my mouth with my palm, and tears streamed down my face. I slumped on the floor in front of the door, sobbing. He is back, and he throws all my clothes.After a minute of sitting and sobbing, I stood up and keyed in the code, but my heart sank when the door didn't open. Did Zachary change the code? More tears streamed down my face, and I banged my fist on the door."Zach, Zachary !!! Please open the door. Please let me explain. Please, Zach." I sobbed. I was relieved when someone opened the door, but I wondered when I saw the unfamiliar man in front of me. I quickly turn my back to him and hurriedly dry my tears."Excuse me, Miss. What can I do for you?" I looked back at him and tried to calm myself."Where're the occupants of this pla
"Winter is my ex. She is a gold-digger who cheated on me with my friend Dylan. Why did you become friends with them?"My eyes snapped open with my heart pounding so hard in my chest. And I heard a beeping sound. I searched where the sound came from, and I saw a heart monitor. I roamed my eyes and noticed I was in the hospital. I have an oxygen mask and some machine attached to my body.The door was pushed open, and a Doctor and nurse came in, and a smile formed on their lips when they saw my eyes were open. The Doctor quickly checked my vitals, and a sigh of relief left his lips after a few minutes."She is safe now." I heard him say. I didn't die during the accident. Someone brought me to the hospital before I died. My eyes quickly brimmed with tears, and the heart monitor sounded again."Calm down, Miss Park. You are now away from danger. You have nothing to worry about now." The nurse said and softly ran her fingers through my hair."Did you call Mr. Lee?" The Doctor asked the nurse
ALEXIt was almost nine months, but until now, Zachary didn't wake up. His vitals are all stable after six months in the hospital, but three months have passed. Until now, there's no reaction from him if he will wake soon.His parents brought him abroad after his vitals were stable and hired a specialist for his recovery, but the Doctor is slowly losing hope because it seems like he is the one who doesn't want to wake up.I don't know what will happen once he wakes up. I'm sure he will only try to kill himself again if he hears the news about Athena.We were all devastated when we found out the days after Zachary shot himself to hear the news that Athena died. Tyron cried every day for the whole week.She was riding a taxi and got into an accident. The cab caught on fire, and the people inside could not be recognized anymore. The only thing that told us that it was Athena was the engagement ring that Zachary gave her was seen it the ring finger of the passenger.Charrie Blames herself
Nathan is now five-months-old, and I'm glad that Dylan didn't try to touch me again after he kissed me on my neck. He still came before going to his work and when he arrived home. Every day he'll bring me a bouquet of red roses, with chocolates. He also bought Nathan toys. He even bought him a playpen. And during the weekend, when I was sleeping, he would take Nathan and bring him out of my room, which always resulted in me panicking, afraid of what he was doing to him. He will bring him back after a few hours every time with new toys or clothes. And I was relieved to see my baby was safe.When Nathan turned nine months, he spoke his first word, and the bastard was the first to hear it because he snatched him again when I was sleeping in the middle of the night, and he burst inside my room, grinning."He talks." He excitedly said. "He called me Papa." He grinned. "Say it, little boy, say Papa again." He urged.And my tears rolled down my face when Nathan said Papa clapping his chubby
The following morning when I woke up, my cheeks were swollen, and my body hurt. The bruises on my body haven't healed yet, and I couldn't see Nathan until the bruises were gone. I missed my son. He is the only one who gives me the strength to keep living. Especially now that I found out that Zachary is already dead, I'm still hoping that we could see each other again once I get away from Dylan, and he will forgive me when he knows about Nathan, but all that hope vanished last night.I strengthened on my bed when the lock clicked open, and Alena stepped inside. She looked at me sadly when she saw the bruises on my face. I hate this woman. She saw what Dylan was doing to us, but she didn't do anything to help us but just looked the other way. She placed a tray of food on my bedside table and then left. After a few minutes, she came back with an ice pack. She placed it beside the tray of food and went out of the door again. My tears rolled down my face; I moved to the edge of the bed an
ZACHARY It's been a month since I came back. I return to the company a week after I'm back.I was busy these past weeks because I have many papers to sign and some out-of-town meetings. Sometimes, I forget to drink my medicine and eat. Luckily Jason was always there to remind me.I looked up from the paper I was signing when there was a knock at the door. I check the time, and it's already one in the afternoon. Jason stepped inside carrying a brown bag I'm sure was my food."Come and eat your lunch. Don't forget the Doctor's warning never to skip eating because it's bad for you, and always drink your medicine in time." He reminded."Yes, Mom." I chuckled when he glared at me. I stood up from my seat and settled on the couch and opened the brown bag he had brought and took out the food, and ate. After eating, he handed me a pill, and I quickly popped it inside my mouth and gulped my water."Now go back to work. I finished. " He shook his head, smiling but stood up and left my office. I
NATHANI cried every night since I found out that Papa Dylan was not my birth father; instead, he was our kidnapper. He is good to me, but now that I knew he was our captor, I noticed it was all forced. He was pretending, but deep inside, I'm sure he wanted to hurt me as well as he did to Mama.For five consecutive nights, I secretly stayed outside my mother's room every time he went inside and those five straight nights. I heard Mama cry in pain three nights, and the two other nights, he was cussing at Mama and me. He's hurting her, and I hate him so much. If I am only big, I already burst inside the door and beat him like he beat Mama, I'm small, and I couldn't do anything to help my mother. He is a devil, and I pray that god will send him to hell soon as punishment for all his sins. That's where the devil, like him, should stay so that he couldn't hurt others. I thought hard every day about how we could escape from here, and my head hurt thinking, but I couldn't find any solution,
