I sat in a daze, staring out of my bedroom window. The incidents that happened from that night were still fresh in my mind, and when I looked back on them, it felt like it had happened just yesterday. Despite the time that had passed, everything still felt so fresh. A bitter smile crossed my face when my mom's news replayed in my mind. I looked at the stars above, sparkling in the night sky. They seemed to be whispering to each other, a beautiful sight to behold. I slowly closed my eyes and felt the cool breeze brushing against my face. Tears welled up in my eyes again. Chris and Lucas were on the brink of death, and so was I. We were all disrupted due to Haze's thirst for revenge. But then... if I hadn't left the condo that night to meet Haze, none of this would have happened. There's no one to blame but me, right? I don't really know the exact reason behind Haze's actions, apart from the death of his younger sister and his blaming Lucas for it. I had stayed in the hospital for a
"What are you doing here?" I stepped aside to let Lucas pass. It had been a few minutes since I arrived at his condo, and he had just returned. I couldn't bring myself to look at him directly, overwhelmed by a sense of shame. I wasn't even sure if I should be feeling that way. I was taken aback when he pushed me aside as I followed him. Our eyes met, and it was at that moment that I felt compassion as I looked into his eyes, which seemed weary. The surroundings were dark, and it appeared as if he hadn't had a proper rest yet.My heart ached. "Leave," he told me, gesturing for me to go. I shook my head. "I'll stay here," I said. He shot me a glare. "Why didn't you tell me?" I asked. "I was waiting for you to visit me, you know—""Are you dead?" he asked, cutting me off before I could finish what I am saying. "If I were dead, would you visit me? Would you visit me and your child?" I tried to catch his expression after I say it but I saw no reaction in his eyes, and he didn't see
"Then abort it!" Lucas shouted. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "Are you even hearing yourself?" I asked. My voice were trembling. "Lucas, this is your child! It came from you, and you're telling me to abort it? What kind of father are you?" I questioned him. "You're asking me what I should do with that? Fuck that child. If you don't want to take care of it on your own then might as well kill it. As simple as that. Stop pestering and involve me in your nonsense problems. I have a lot of more important things to prioritize than that damn child," he retorted. I couldn't help but laugh as I looked at him. "More important things? Seriously, Lucas! Is drinking alcohol more important to you? Is that what matters to you? Are you saying that our child is not important? We're talking about your child here! Our child! I am willing to stand by your side, especially in your difficult times, but right now—" "We're already divorced, Aurora. What more do you want? You used to drive me awa
I lightly slapped Lucas's thigh, which I had a firm grip on when he thrust himself into me with all his length. I blinked as my eyes watered. I took a deep breath when he released me. I felt like I was about to vomit. "Put it in your mouth," he ordered, knocking his manhood on my closed lips after what just happened. When he wasn't satisfied, he slapped my face with it, causing me to instinctively grab my cheeks and nose where it had landed. "Damn it! Can't you hear me? I said put it in your mouth!" he commanded angrily. I had no choice but to obey his wishes. I was speechless as I felt his manhood rapidly entering my mouth. I wanted to give up as he thrust it again in deeply.I could feel the sensation of my throat tightening each time he pushed it in. Even though it was painful, I didn't complain. He started groaning and moaning, experiencing the sensation. I was forced to look up at him when he tugged at my tangled hair to prevent it from obstructing my mouth. My eyes seemed t
It was around three in the morning when I received a call from Lucas, who hadn't contacted me after he had kicked me out the previous night. Half-asleep, I groggily answered the call. "Lucas," I mumbled, still half-asleep. "Come there at my condo," he ordered. My eyebrows furrowed, and I struggled to open my heavy eyelids that which were a little bit blurry cause of the sudden waking up. I had just fallen asleep due to my busy schedule, taking care of my parents, who had been extremely busy in the past few weeks. I wasn't sure what exactly they were working on, but I am sure that it was a hundred percent related to the case that they are solving. Nothing new about it but the only difference was that, they are too busy in this certain case that I don't even have a chance to talk to them because sometimes I'll wake up and they're gone, they'll come home when I'm already asleep and sometimes they're almost here at home for a while as if they don't have time to rest. Despite their e
Lucas watched me as I adjusted the head band that I was trying to wear. I couldn't muster the courage to undress in front of him. Even though he was trying to make me wear the undies, the fact that they were transparent made it feel like I was exposing myself to him. I kept my eyes on him as I slowly removed my clothes, waiting for him to reconsider his request. Instead, I saw his eyes soften slightly, and for a moment, the tense atmosphere seemed to waver. There was a glint of curiosity in his eyes, which made me feel even more vulnerable, strangely enough. Swallowing hard felt like I was swallowing my pride along with it. As I completed my transformation into the absurd bunny costume with those damn transparent undies, I couldn't help but feel a mix of embarrassment, resentment, and, surprisingly, a hint of defiance. I couldn't recall the last time I'd been grateful that I preferred to keep myself well-groomed and fresh. "What now?" I asked. I had agreed to this arrangement to pr
"I'll be heading home now, My," I replied to her call. I had barely gotten any rest. Lucas didn't let up after what happened earlier. The sun was already rise, but his energy seemed endless, and here I was, completely drained from what he did. I wasn't allowed to stay up late, but I had no choice because of him. "Why did you go back to your condo? Don't you like staying at home?" she asked. I quickly shook my head. "No, My. I was just looking for something. I'm heading back now," I lied as I looked at Lucas, who was peacefully asleep next to me. "Is that so? Then I'll arrange a family dinner later. Are you okay with that?" "Yeah, sure, My. That's great. I haven't been able to join you for a meal in a few days now." I removed Lucas's arm from my waist before leaving the bed. I nearly cursed when I saw myself in the mirror. My hair was a mess, there were dark circles under my eyes, and I looked utterly exhausted. I said my goodbyes to Mommy after a while. She and Daddy were t
My hands were trembling. I couldn't stay still as I made my way toward the Gazila highway. No one said exactly which hospital they took my Mom and Dad to, but I searched for hospitals near that highway. Even now, the news that I have watched hasn't fully sunk in. I just realized earlier that they hadn't returned home yet. But what made me think is that, how it is possible that I didn't know they were handling such a huge case all this time. Am I such a worthless child? This is what I feared ever since. I've long reminded Dad to cut down on clients with big names because, I know in the end, they are the ones at risk. I exhaled heavily out of mixed emotions that I am feeling. Right now, my parents are all I can think about. I don't know if there's any news update on the incident because after it was reported, I left immediately to find the hospital mentioned in the news. I followed the nearest hospital on the map. My heart raced as I saw my approach toward the hospital. Was I so oc
