2024-10-29 19:42:56I woke up to the sound of Michael sobbing on my shoulder. I squinted my eyes at the sudden light and forcefully closed them back while listening to him sobbing on my hand.
I try to reach out and touch him but my hands seem too heavy for me to carry. If only I could tell him that I'm awake. That he doesn't need to cry anymore.
“Tesoro, I love you so much. And I will do anything for you. I wish all my money could bring you back to me, I would have done it for you because I love you ” He whispered to me.
I wanted to tell him that I love him too but my throat was so dry that no sound came out of it. It looks like I haven't been using it for days.
What happened to me? Where am I? Why is Michael crying?”
The sound of Michael's phone ringing brought me out of my thoughts as I felt him perk me on my forehead before he walked out. I tried to call out to him but no sound was coming out of my mouth. I slumped dejectedly on the bed as the tears flowed freely down m

I walked out from the bathroom where I was taking shower to pick up my phone which has been ringing for a while now.Picking it up, I was surprised to see my dad's calling. It's been a while since I last talked or saw him.

Shane closed his nose playfully as I smack him on the back causing him to erupt in laughter.“ Mom said to come call you for yoga” shame replied as my face twitched in dismay.

I paced around my office in anticipation, ever since our last call with Lillian, we couldn't get in touch with her. She had refused to answer any of our calls and had sent it to her voicemail.“ Any luck with her yet?” I turned to ask Danny who was trying her phone again. I could see the worry etch his brows as sweat streamed down his face. I couldn't help being annoyed with myself that I had caused everything. I regretted ever bringing him and Lillian into this mess. Hell, I regretted ever risking my wife and children's life. If only I never met Deborah then none of this would have happened.“ Not yet. She just won't pick up even after leaving her a dozen messages. She's just so stubborn especially when it comes to Nina” Danny exclaimed running his hands through his hair in frustration as he paced to and fro
