CHAPTER 7: ANGIE THE BABYSITTER Ten minutes after the incident at the abandoned hotel... Angie Miller,the point of view. Amelia is missing; that's the only thing that popped-up in my mind the moment we heard the huge explosion from the address that Amelia went. We've been searching for her even if the authorities had just told us that they'll contact us once they got traces of bodies inside. "Please, Ma'am, you can't just enter the premises as we're still investigating the incident." Sir Raphael and I immediately went here to find Amelia. We found nothing but Sir Raphael's old Suzuki -- which is now a bit ragged. It has a bit of trace of scratches, too. And aside from that, pizzas and its pizza boxes scattered on the floor. Amelia must've been there. She should have stayed here even if she's injured or something. I can tell it by watching the scenes
CHAPTER 8: DOC MELISSA At present time… Amelia Solace Bernard, the point of view. I wasn’t expecting that I will be brought in a luxurious condominium in NYC while Jacob is pushing me with a wheelchair and I just couldn’t imagine myself looking like a crippled human being. My body is full of dusts and dirt and my face even looks like a homeless person now. Mike is with us, too. He was the one guiding us through the long hallways and through the elevator. There are many people staring at us – at me. They must’ve been thinking as to why I am looking like a trash and being pushed by these two giant men beside me. The elevator dings and Jacob once again pushed me like in a hospital patient and Mike leads the way until we reach at the very end of the hallway on the right. We stop in front of the thick and wide wooden door that has a glass on either side of it, and its knob is made with smartlock. Mike reached for the button at the upper corner of the wall and I hear it rings from th
CHAPTER 9: THEY MEET AGAINDoc Melissa wasn’t as bad as I thought (well, on contrary, she almost discriminated me for being a young mother). She helped me clean myself on the bathroom while I’m still unable to stand still. She offered me one of her best guestrooms and it had a soft and comfortable foam unlike the bed that me and Hugo used back in the apartment.Other than the kind gestures she did to me; she also lets me borrow an extra phone to use incase I want to contact one of my co-workers.Since her house has already installed a wireless internet connection in which I’m not really fond of, I tried to open the browser and type in the popular site which people uses to entertain themselves.It’s called FaceBook.It didn’t take me hours to sign up since I already have an account before but due to lesser time for me time with the existence of Hugo, I finally opened my account and the first thing that I saw is Anj’s name on the active list.I immediately clicked her name and chatted h
CHAPTER 10: GRANDMA & CLUMSY Amelia Solace Bernard, the point of view. It burdens me so much while trying to push myself the wheels so that I can be able to go wherever I go. Add to that, this creepy yet weird looking man who wears the sunglasses under a tinted limousine while reading his newspaper is staring at me. “What?” I asked him, raising my right eyebrow to show him I don’t feel comfortable with his stares. “You look like a grandma.” He casually answers. When he finds out that I wasn’t happy at all, he burst into laughter while hitting the Doctor’s desk. I rolled my eyes and push the wheels a step back and roll it again to move it forward. I went into the lounge area where I can find peace for the meantime and avoid looking at his face – well, even though he has a slight resemblance of Hugo’s face, I find that guy irritating. “Hey!” I frown when I see him walks towards me while his chuckle still hasn’t fade. “I was just joking. Anyway, what
PROLOGUE[Donald Badeau, a businessman and the CEO of a famous five-star hotel in town, The Grand Badeau, was shot dead in Silver Boulevard past eleven o’clock in the evening…]It was midnight, and was raining hard because for an approaching storm. They’re soaked in wet while running on the hallway through the Operating Room while his mother clasps the beads of rosary, praying and hoping for his husband's life, Donald Badeau.Israel remembered it all too well. The sudden phone call from Ben, the loud crash on the ground of the jar which his mother held it at their home, ambulance’s siren, people’s gossip, reporters’ unanswerable questions, the sound of a camera’s shutter, and his mother’s loud mourn in the morgue.He was just barely a grown man – a thirteen year-old to be exact – to have lost a family member. His dad, Donald Badeau.Everything seems to be moving so fast. Before everything happened that night, they were celebrating for the success of their new launched project at their
CHAPTER 1: ONE NIGHT'S MISTAKEThe music is banging through the four corners of the room, making the people go wild even more. They danced with every beat, jump with every kick of adrenaline as the alcohol and drugs are slowly reacting in their system. Everyone is getting drunk and intoxicated. Most of them are already making out, some of them are still trying to seduce someone to get their attention.While Israel, who went into the club after his mother’s funeral, was there sitting on one of the high stool chair while the bartender’s filling up his glass. He’s feeling a little tipsy yet he still continues drinking his martini.He just turned eighteen and it was his first ever alcohol he first tasted. And his first tipsy moment. And the first ever fucking bar he entered. Israel is a young entrepreneur who just started running his family’s business after both of his parents died. He had no choice. It was his father’s sweat and tears for starting the business his family has. And it was
CHAPTER 2: THE HATE THEY GIVEFive years later... Amelia Solace Bernard, the point of view."Amelia! I'm leaving! Your son is at the baby crib back in the staff room and he's crying out loud for fuck's sake, give him a milk already!" Angie, my co-worker, shouted as I try to rub the toilet with a brush. I pushed the door to swing it open and there I see Angie holding out her pouch and waving it at me."Thank you, Anj! Take care!" I waved back with my cleaning gloves. Well, I call her Anj as Angie sounds more like Anji. When I get back to facing the toilet, I let out a scoff and continue rubbing it one more time before finally washing the foam off with the water.For fuck's sake, how do people can't flush their toilet every after use? They only pay for their pizza orders and not cleaning materials, sheez, what an untidy set of people. I'm getting tired every day for scrubbing the toilets, and the floor, and the tables they use and never thought of at least keeping their food or drink
CHAPTER 3: EYE TO EYEAmelia Solace Bernard, the point of view.Weekend came and Hugo has been talking about his visit to his grandparents' home for the last three days during the week. While I, on the other hand, is trying to figure out how to make him happy even if I had to tell him that we can't fulfill what he wants."Mommy, faster! I will show grandpa my toys and... and my new clothes!"It breaks my heart to see that Hugo has been denied by my parents. They are the only ones I have left that I can lean on, but they rejected me and chose to forget I existed. That's why five years ago, I decided to move out from the house and continue my life with Hugo in a small apartment in which I'm currently renting every end of the month. I had to apply for a full time job at Raphael's Pizzeria. They didn't had enough paycheck but at least it pays our everyday food and my bills."Baby, Hugo," I kneel down to catch his eyes. "Grandma and Grandpa has something to do today. We can't just disturb
