I don’t know when or how I fell asleep in such terrible circumstances, but I did.

I guess the rain stopped long before. I can no longer feel the droplets falling on my body or my face, but my head is hurting so badly that I can’t even make myself open my eyes. When I woke up, the reality of my situation hit me like a ton of bricks. And wait, when the ground beneath my body becomes so soft and smooth, it feels like a bed.

I struggle to remember how I ended up in this unfamiliar place. I cracked my eyes at the sudden realization, finding myself in someplace I had never been before. I moved my eyes, scanning the surroundings of the place. I was with white walls, twin beds, lots of books, a desk, and a cupboard. As I took in my surroundings, a sense of confusion washed over me. How did I end up in this room filled with unfamiliar objects? The white walls and abundance of books gave off an air of intellectualism, but they still didn't provide any clues as to how I got here.

  • The Girl He Hates   37 #Who is my father?

    The moment we are born in this world, we are attached to people—the people who are the reason for bringing us into this world, the reason for our existence. If it's not for them, then we might not even be born in this world to be the new person that we are right now. And that is the day when we started living with people, because like any living being, we are all surviving, and the best way to survive is to make connections. Before coming into this world, we were alone, and we would be alone when we left this world, with nothing but our naked bodies, carrying only the memories and experiences we shared with others. Why I am saying all this, I don’t know. But it's the reality of all who are born and die one day. And like everyone else, I was born too, and now I know why, the day I was born, my father was not there to hold me in my arms and why, on every birthday, I was alone when everyone else had both of their families celebrating their birthdays with them. If it weren't for Jason,

    That day, I didn't have an idea of what was going to happen in my life, and this was the beginning where things started to change little by little with the passing of time, so much so that it made me do something reckless. That is so wrong, yet it seemed so right at that time. If I look back now and think about it, I can't even imagine how such things came about in my mind. I was fateful enough to get out of it any time, but everything in the world comes with a price so bad that it still haunts me at night whenever I think about it, and even after all these years, I can’t get it out of my mind. I don’t think that I ever can, not when the thing is my own flesh and blood, something that can never be with me.Just as Mom mentioned, the place we are in is very different from what I have ever been to. I’m saying that when we are just standing by the gigantic door, waiting for it to open.I don’t know if the mom is very rich. Maybe the person is her boss. But if that’s the case, then why am

    "Wait a minute. Does that mean you don't know who your father was before that day?" Jason asked, his voice filled with curiosity and confusion. He leaned in closer, eager to uncover the truth behind this revelation.I shook my head in response, a mixture of sadness and frustration crossing my face. "No, I don't. It's always been a mystery to me, and it's something that has haunted me for years," I admitted, my voice filled with a tinge of longing. "And that day was the first time my mom spoke about him. She never mentioned his name or anything about him until then. It was like a floodgate of emotions, and unanswered questions opened up in that moment."Jason stopped staring at me and furrowed his brow; his curiosity piqued. "And your mom, that day when we were in the meadows, you said you never knew your mom. What about that?" Jason piqued I paused for a moment, gathering my thoughts, before responding to Jason's question. "I said my mother was a stranger to me because she was always b

    “I’m…so…. rry.” Kiera turned her head to leave but stopped.“Wait… don’t leave,” the voice said, making Kiera frozen in her place. “Come here.”She didn't know what to do as her feet started moving automatically, and within seconds she was standing in front of the owner of the voice, only to be surprised by it.“Daniel,” she calls, taking a long sigh of relief.“Why? You are accepting someone else.” He asks, and I shake my head with a smile on my face. “Stop smiling like a fool,” he said, staring at Kiera from top to bottom. “And what the heck are you wearing?"Upon hearing his remarks, Kiera stared at herself, not seeing anything wrong with her clothes; she was wearing nothing usual, just a normal t-shirt and jeans.“Fool, you want to freeze to death or what?" Daniel scolded Kiera, staring at her from the place where he was sitting on the floor with a cloth spread over it, and Daniel was sitting there holding a light and a book with his head resting on the back of the wall. “Stop star

    The bright sun glitters in my eyes, waking Daniel up from his deep slumber, as he feels something warm snuggling his body tight with a head placed in his chest. He smiles, staring at the petite frame of Kiera and the way she snuggles to his body close, hugging him tight, with her head resting on his chest. He gently brushes a strand of hair away from her face, admiring her peaceful expression. The warmth of their embrace fills him with a sense of contentment, making him never want to let go.Never could he think of a time waking up with a smile on his face after his parents, but from the time Kiera entered his life, everything excited him with her presence in life.Even the dark night in the meadows, to the uncomfortable sleep on the creaking old floor with just a blanket. Everything seems beautiful to her.Daniel slowly moves his hands, very gently so as not to wake Kiera up, as he brushes the bliss of her hair away from her face, revealing her beautiful sleeping face to him.

    “Did you meet your parents after that?” Jason asked.Kiera nodded her head at his words. “Yes, I did, but I didn’t know at that time that there was a big surprise waiting for me.”“What surprise?” Jason inquired with curiosity, eager to uncover the unexpected turn of events.“After entering the house, I saw everyone running here and there in a hurry. There were doctors and nurses, all including my dad, but I couldn’t see my mother anywhere near them.”*****“Kiera, where were you?” Dad came running to me, saw me enter the house, and wrapped his arms tightly around me. “Thank God you are alright.”She doesn’t know what is happening or why there is all this rush in the house. But before she can ask any questions, her father drags her into one of the bedrooms.“Where are you taking me?” Kiera asked.“Just for once, trust me,” Gabriel said, opening the door to one bedroom.And there inside the big room, she is lying on the bed, her mother immobile with her eyes closed, and her body attache

    “A loss for a gain,” Kiera said, looking at Jason with so much pain in her eyes.“Why?” Jason asked, holding Kiera’s hands in his. “What happened after the nurse came?”“I experienced the first pain of loss in life,” Kiera mumbled, with Jason staring at her, not understanding the meaning behind her words or the pain she had gone through in the past.********“Mom,” Kiera called, sitting beside her mother on the bed and gently placing her hand on her mother's. “Why are you like this? What happened?” Keiera asked with concern in her voice. Her mother looked at her with tears in her eyes.Serena gave her a small smile from under her oxygen mask and signaled for the nurse to remove it. “I’m so happy to see you." Her voice broke as she struggled to speak. “Together with you, Dad,” she said, taking many pauses in between her words, with her shaking even in a mere whisper.Kiera held back her tears, trying to stay strong for her mother, and nodded her head, looking towards Gabriel.

    A third wheel that will turn Daniel and Kiera’s lives upside down. “About whom are you talking about?” Kiera took a breath, trying very hard to control her emotions. "Liam..." Kiera mumbled under her breath, her voice barely audible. Jason was startled by the information. What did Liam do to Kiera? There is one incident he clearly remembers and his last conversation with him, but other than that, he has no idea what happened in recent years. “Everything was going well in my life. I was finally trying to get over the pain of losing my mother and trying to accept my father, but everything changed after that day.” Kiera paused, her eyes welling up with tears. Jason silently watched Kiera, remembering things that happened that day that started to trigger Liam’s involvement in Kiera’s life. When my mom died, I was not old enough legally to live on my own, so the authorities made my aunt and uncle take custody of me. I only stayed three years with them, and I trust it was the worst tim

    JASONWe drove home together, and the tension between us was palpable as we both anticipated what would happen next.“Do you think she will be angry?” Kiera asked, taking my hand in hers as we walked to the front door of the villa. I squeezed her hand reassuringly and said, “She’ll be fine. But about her anger, I can’t make any promises.” Kiera laughed, shaking her head.“I never wanted to leave without meeting her, but she was asleep, and I don’t want to wake her up,” she said as we walked towards the foyer to the living room.“She misses you so much,” I replied softly, touching her face gently. “I’m sure she’ll understand once she sees you.” Kiera smiled gratefully, leaning her head on my touch.“Daddy...” Aria’s voice chimes in from the living room, her eyes widening in surprise at the sight of Kiera. “Mommy?” she whispered, tears welling up in her eyes.Kiera knelt down, opening her arms wide as Aria ran into them. They finally reunited after so long. “I hate you,” Aria said softl

    JASON “Work. Let’s work then,” I said, trying to hide my amusement at her playful scolding. She finally looked away from me and back at the papers, signaling that it was time to focus on the task at hand. “I have read all the documents and made the necessary changes,” she stated firmly, her eyes still fixed on the papers in front of her. “You just need to sign the bottom of the last page.” “Fine,” I said, holding the pen in my hand and signing my name at the bottom of the last page without even caring to read what I was signing. “You should read the documents before signing them,” she said with a stern look. “I trust you,” I said, smirking and brushing my finger on my lips, walking close to her and whispering, “But if there’s anything important, you’ll let me know, won’t you?” She nodded as I put my hand around her waist, pulling her closer, feeling a sense of control and power over the situation. “What are you doing, Mr. Grey?” She said she was putting her hand on my chest. “

    JASONA year has passed, but the day still seems to be a traumatic memory for me. Her last words for me still echo in my mind. I can’t shake the feeling of regret that fills me every time I think about it. Kiera. I closed my eyes as an image of her lying on the hospital bed flashed through my mind. I could still hear her weak voice saying, “I promise.” Her voice, her words, the tears, the pain. It still feels raw and fresh, like an open wound that refuses to heal. It might never heal completely—a constant reminder of the impact she had on my life. My life has a void that can never be filled. Only Kiera can fill that void, and I am lost without her. I am now standing here in the warm sun as I stare at the grave that made a great impact on my life. It was because of her that I became the person I am today. Because of her, I can have the life I have always dreamed of. I can never forget the gift of love and wisdom she bestowed upon me. No matter how much I thank her, it will never b

    JASON“Kiera...” I mumbled, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead. I whispered, “I’ll be right here with you every step of the way.”I brushed her hair, hoping that she would find comfort and strength in my presence. “You have to fight through all these for me, for Aria, for Kevin, and for everyone who loves you,” I said softly, squeezing her hand in reassurance. “You’re not alone in this battle, Kiera.”I feel a gentle squeeze on my hand as she is listening to words, even if she is unconscious. I lean in closer, feeling the warmth of her hand in mine, and continue to speak softly. “You are strong, Kiera. You can do this.” I take a deep breath, trying to stay calm and composed for her sake. “You fought for so long; there are just a few more steps to go. After the transplant is complete, there won’t be anyone or anything that can stop you from living the life you deserve.” I pause, feeling a surge of hope and determination in my own heart. “Know that I love you and always will, no mat

    JASON“How is she?” I said, upon seeing Kevin standing in the hallway outside Kiera’s hospital room.Kevin sighed and ran a hand through his hair before responding, “She’s stable for now, but the doctors aren’t sure how long she will stay that way.”“Don’t worry, Marie’s parents agreed to donate her the lungs she needs for a transplant,” I said, trying to offer a glimmer of hope in the midst of uncertainty. “Hopefully, she can make a full recovery with the transplant.”“I don’t know, man; I’m not sure if she’s strong enough to survive the surgery.” Kevin’s words crashed over me like a wave of doubt.“What the fuck are you talking about, Kevin? Kiera is a fighter; she’s been through so much already. She can handle this; I believe in her,” I replied firmly, trying to bolster Kevin’s wavering confidence in Kiera’s strength and resilience.Kevin put a hand on my shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze. “I want that too. I just can’t shake this feeling of uncertainty.”“Let’s just hope for th

Think about it,” Antonio urged, his tone pleading yet resolute.The husband and wife exchanged a meaningful glance, silently contemplating their next move. “Still, we can’t let our emotions cloud our judgment,” the wife finally said, her voice steady. “We are not bad people, nor will we stop at his level.

It’s dark, with only a little light filtering in through the high windows, casting long shadows on the concrete floor. The air is musty and filled with the smell of old machinery and metal, adding to the eerie atmosphere of the abandoned building.The wife whispered, barely audible over the creaking of the floorboards beneath us, “These places haven’t been touched in years.”The husband held her hands tightly, a look of concern etched on his face as we continued deeper into the warehouse, unsure of what we might find in the darkness ahead.Antonio chuckled and reassured, “Don’t be scared!” as he opened a giant door at the end of the hallway.

The husband squeezed her hand reassuringly and replied, “We understand that our wife needs the transplant, but we can’t bear the thought of parting with our daughter’s organs. We hope you can find another solution for her.”“She is on life support,” I replied, trying to convey the urgency of the situation. “We are running out of time,” I added, hoping they would reconsider their decision. “I know that for your daughter, it was a precious gift. It’s hard for any parent to make this decision.” I said it with empathy. “I am also the father of a girl, and I know how difficult this must be for you.
