"I should go, I will wait for you inside" Kitty walked out of the restroom and headed to the room Lucia lodged.
...
As soon as Kitty left, Lucia looked at her reflection in the mirror. And suddenly, her memories of when she was a child flashes before her eyes.
"What did you do to him" Mr. Alfredo screamed at eight years old Lucia.
"I didn't do anything, he was the one, who broke the glass, but he is crying." Eight old old Lucia screamed in fear.
"I have always warned you, don't ever come near my son." Mr. Alfredo carried little James and slapped Lucia.
"But I didn't do anything I said I didn't do anything." Little Lucia was crying so much but still, the only thing her father cared about was her little brother who wasn't even hurt by the glass.
"What's going on here?" Mrs. Alfredo rushed to where they were.
"Daddy hit me." Lucia cried out.
"Then you must have done something wrong." Her mother shouted at her.
"GIt was war, and yet Kitty was nowhere to be found. Jason was so confused he didn't know what to do or where to look. Suddenly his phone rang and he saw it was Philip calling."Phillip" Jason answered."Mr. Dante, I saw your wife in this hotel, but I don't know where she went," Philip said to him and immediately Jason stood on his feet."Pedro!" He screamed and walked to the front of the mansion."Pedro" Pedro rushed out when he heard his name."Two vans with about fifteen of our men, we have to go out. Let Miguel be in charge of security here. I've found Kitty, I'm she is unaware of what's happening, we have to go fetch her and Lucia.""Okay, Capo."...They left and made their way to the hotel. It was getting dark, and the clouds were filled with moist air. Lightning could be seen in the clouds, the wind was so cold. Jason's heart was thumping faster than before, he was muttering prayers, with hopes Kitty will
For the first time in her life, Kitty was happy about the way she grew up, the kind of quiet life she had. Watching Jason and Lucia hugging each other and uttering words of regrets, Kitty wished they had a different life. She felt pity for them, siblings but yet, were intimate with each other. Growing up in such a horrible way, the kind of life they had was terrifying. As she watched them shedding tears of regrets, she hoped they get through today, and wish that life grants them another chance to cherish and love each other.When Lucia left, she noticed Jason barely looking at her. She changed her dress in the bathroom, feeling no remorse for what she did to Carlos. The only words that she repeated to herself were "He deserved it. How could he not, after killing an innocent child.".....They went through the side door. There was no one there. Jason was frustrated, he didn't know where they should go from there. Kitty kept shut, she knew if she say a
"Mikel" Luca screamed at the other guard."Luca" Mikel answered and rushed to where Luca was"Cuidar de la señora" Luca screamed telling him to take care of Kitty as they ran to the far right corner where they packed the van."¿dónde está Pedro" Luca shouted asking for Pedro."He is with the two other vans, at the front of the hotel, trying to hold back Alfredo's men. Luca, four of our men are dead." Mikel said to him."Let's get to the van, we all need to get out of here." Luca carried Jason with the assistance of Pablo-another of Dante's men.While Mikel was in charge of Kitty who seemed frightened by the sight of Jason. He wasn't moving, Kitty was so scared.Ask they entered the van, Mikel drove to the front of the hotel, while Luca was exchanging fire from his end and screaming at Pedro and the other guards"Get in the van, let's get out of here." He screamed as he shot at about five of Alfredo
She slowly opened. Everywhere was blurry, but as she continue blinking her vision became clearer."You are awake." Mira smiled and sat beside her."Hey.""Where is Jason?" Kitty asked Mira, she sat up and noticed she was on the bed."He is fine. He is right beside you." Mira said to Kitty.Kitty quickly looked at her left-hand side and saw Jason lying with oxygen connected to his nose."Hmm, oh my." Kitty cried and drew closer to him, then she kissed Jason on his head.'How long did I sleep?" Kitty asked Mirabel."About two hours.""Have you had something to eat?" Kitty asked."You are the one who needs to be fed, I'm coming, let me get dinner." Mira walked out of the room.Kitty sat there right beside Jason, gently caressing his hair."I thought I lost you." She mumbled.She kissed his forehead and tears dripped fromfrom her eyes and fell on Jason's cheek.
When he opened his eyes he couldn't find anyone around. He tried to sit up but he noticed the drip on his hand."Damn my headache." He sighed and carefully sat up."Kitty" Jason called out thinking Kitty might just be in the closet or the bathroom.But the more he screamed no one came to him."Where are they?" He muttered to himself.When he leaned his back on the bedstand, he stopped grunting, only then did he hear noises from outside, followed by Kitty crying which made him anxious.Jason removed the drip on his hands and squinted his brows, he wore his slippers and then walked out of the bedroom.When he got downstairs he saw Kitty crying, and the police were there. Jason thought that they found out she killed Carlos, he wasn't ready for them to apprehend Kitty."What's going on?" Jason asked as his eyes were squinting around. He was getting more anxious by the minute."What happened to you?" Jas
Kitty was so scared. She tried to reach Jason every minute but then he didn't respond. She jerked on the bed, thumping her foot on the ground as she eagerly waits for news from Jason.Suddenly her door opened and Mirabel walked in. Kitty tried to compose herself after seeing Mirabel. She sat on the bed, her eyes fixed on Mira, as she walks closer to her."Kitty.""Yes, any problems?" Kitty asked her sister."Well, I've been thinking about Dad." Mira sighed. It was the first time she ever called him Dad. She felt as if something had left her body. She was grieving but tries to hide it because she thought that Kitty doesn't care."What about Carlos?" Kitty pretended not to hear what she called Carlos. It infuriated her, but she tries to let it be, she knew that Mira barely knew Carlos or felt his presence, and didn't expect Mira to hate him as much as she did."What is the relationship between Harry and Carlos? Do you know this Har
"Mira" Kitty kept talking to Mira, she held her and placed her on her body. She was tapping her gently but Mira didn't respond."Mira!" Kitty kept screaming.Suddenly they heard a gunshot. It was Harry."Kitty, get down," Jason screamed, but Kitty didn't respond to him. She couldn't hear what he was saying, the only thing that clouded her mind was Mirabel.Harry was hiding behind the couch, exchanging fire with Jason. Luca rushed there and was dragging Kitty, but Harry shot at Luca and Jason quickly shot at Harry's hand and his gun fell off.Jason ran and took the gun."Give up Harry, the Police are outside. You escaped from jail?""I have never locked up idiot, I was merely a suspect, with the best lawyer I could live, you guys did a good job, framing me up like that, I should have known."I have no idea what you are talking about Harry?" Jason lied just in case the cops were eavesdropping on them.
"Capo" Pedro called for Jason's attention."Pedro" Jason looked at him, but suddenly he heard Kitty screaming. He rushed to where she was and tries to hold her, but then when looked through the sheer glass, he saw the doctor's out to cover Mira up.The corners of his eyes turned red, and his hands-on Kitty's shoulder dropped. He was frozen. His eyes kept trailing between Kitty and Mira, he didn't know what to do. The way Kitty was screaming like she have lost it made his heart reach a clunking stop.He walked closer to her, he stretched his hand to touch her, but he curled it into a fist. Suddenly, Kitty's screams became more intense, and she ran inside the theatre.She kept screaming and threw away the white sheet the doctor wasn't to use to cover Mira."Wake up, wake up, wake up" She was screaming so loud, the doctor couldn't do a thing and Jason, just stood right outside.Suddenly the EKG started beeping and the nurses and docto

"Kitty said you surprised her with Mira's arrival, so she wanted to do the same to you, " Aunt Silvia said to Jason. "Well, it is indeed a wonderful surprise and fit for the occasion." Jason smiled. "What occasion?" Kitty asked wondering what Jason meant. Her gaze drifted from Jason to Mira thinking that they were up to mischief, but to her surprise, Mira had no idea of what Jason was talking about. "Why don't we have dinner together, as a family, I will get grandma." Jason walked out straight to Madamme Rosa's room. When he got there he meant the caregiver combing her hair, Jason sent Charity away and took the comb from her. "I know a lot has happened, and it's too bad we got here. I hope you will find it in your heart to forgive me, I'm finding it hard to forgive you, every day I pray, hoping that one day I will awake and hold no grudge against you, but those prayers haven't been answered."
It's been a month since Lucia's death. Jason buried her right next to his parents. Every day he would visit and place a flower on her grave and that of her parents as well. Most times Kitty followed him, but sometimes he felt like going alone and never pestered her. He was bemoaning, he never left the house except to the grave. He would lock himself up in his study every night and inundate himself in bottles of whiskey, in the morning he always had a hangover but lied to Kitty that he was sick. Luca kept on rescheduling his meeting with the board members at the Alfredo's but Jason missed every one of them.He was shattered, yet he pretended to be okay. ... The night wind was extremely cold that evening, Jason had just finished having dinner with his family. Like his normal routine for a month now, he went from the dining and locked himself up in his study. He opened the fridge in his study and found only one bottle of whiskey le
From the look in his eyes, she realized that he must be dying of regret. She couldn't stop him from leaving. She waited for him to come back but he was taking forever.She was pacing around in the living room anxiously, she prayed for Lucia to be unharmed. When it was late, she tried to call him. But then Luca answered his phone.Kitty asked him about Jason and he told her what had happened. Words left her lips, she didn't know what else to say. She knew that he definitely would not easily recover from such loss. After the call, she waited around in the living room, waiting for him to come.It was already past 9 pm and yet he was still out. She was dizzy but yet couldn't sleep. Her heart was unsettled.She thought to check on Mira to make sure she was alright. As soon as she walked inside Mira's room she switched on the lights."Kitty is that you?" Mira sat on her bed."Hey, don't do that laydown." Kitty rushed to the
Jason walked out of the room down to his study. He emptied a bottle of whiskey. Then it crossed his mind that his grandmother was still locked up. He rushed to his room to get the keys from the pants he wore earlier.When he entered the room, it was stuffy. He found his grandmother all dressed up with makeup on. He wondered why she had worn makeup. Jason scoffed as he walked closer to her."Why would an old wan wear makeup?" He mocked her.Madamme Rosa ignored him as though he wanted there. She was placing her earrings on her ears, when she was done she looked at Jason who was standing by her mirror."How do I look?" She asked Jason."Ugly." He scoffed at her. "No makeup will be good enough to cover your wicked heart. Kitty an unborn baby, and your son, and you think that by wearing makeup you would be able to hide that darkness inside of you?" Jason walked closer to her."Maybe not. If I were as wicked as you say, why didn't I
Jason couldn't believe what was happening, he kept screaming and wanted to go into the fire. But he was held back by the police there. He fell to his knees wailing bitterly. All that was in his head was Lucia's voice promising him that she was going to be at the mansion that morning. He wished he had realized she wouldn't be coming, he wished he didn't allow her to leave him at the hotel.Regrets were all that engulfed him. He wanted to turn back the hands of time, for one last chance to treat her better. But it was impossible, and that made him even more depressed. He kept beating his chest severally. On his knees, he remained there, with his head bent on the ground.The police were shocked at the sight, even the bodyguards that escaped the fire as well as the employees, no one knew that Jason was Lucia's brother.With the hope to figure out why he was affected, one of the police officers decided to approach Jason. But Jason pushed him to the
"You still have the guts to tell at me, better start respecting yourself or your favorite daughter will go boom" Lucia pressed on the lighter to lite and placed it close to Camilla's hair."Now behave, you have to be a good boy Daddy." Lucia laughed.I Alfredo was glaring at her, wishing he could just slap her and kill her himself."After everything I did for you, you have the guts to pour gasoline on my daughter. You are an animal." He yelled at her."After everything you've done for me?" Lucia raised her brows in shock, and paddled slowly towards him "What exactly did you do for me, Alfredo?" She yelled at him."Was it the constant hitting? or being yelled at? What exactly have you done for me? Because I remember nothing, absolutely nothing, that's how horrific my childhood was because of you." She slapped Mr. Alfredo."What did you expect from me, a fatherly love, when you were a child I never fathered, and from a monster of a family, you don
BEFORE THE FIRE AT THE ALFREDO'S MANSION 16 HOURS AGO Lucia wasn't certain how she would escape, but all she wanted was for Kitty and Jason to be able to leave the hotel without any harm. After finding out Jason was indeed her brother, she was frustrated but then, she felt somewhat lucky. Since staying at the hotel, Lucia was busy going through every photo she has of Jason, she found it interesting that he was indeed her brother. She wished she knew earlier, and despite the feud between their families, she and Jason never really had any personal fights until Kitty came along. ... At the hotel, after Kitty killed Carlos, Lucia took it upon herself to distract her father's men so Kitty and Jason could flee. When she got to the lobby, she was surrounded by fifty of her father's men. She surrendered and so did Philip. They apprehended her and handcuffed her in one of the vans they came with, both her and Philip. "Take her to th
When he walked inside the ICU, he saw that Mira was already awake. It had been such a long day. He had dark circles around his eyes. "You are awake." Jason walked up to Mira. "Yes, I am. Kitty is so worried, why did you leave her here alone?" Mira questioned Jason. "I went out for work. I couldn't delay it." He sat close to Kitty and whispered in her ears"Why make her worried about you?" "Shut up," Kitty whispered back. They joked and laughed. Jason ordered breakfast as it was already past 6 am. After eating, Kitty told Jason that it will be best they take Mira home and a doctor to tend to her. Jason understood pretty well, that Kitty still felt threatened by Alfredo and didn't know when they see will attack. Jason hired a doctor from the same hospital Mira was receiving treatment from. They discharge Mira and they all went back home. She was laid on the bed and the equipment needed for her treatment like the oxygen just in c
