CHAPTER 43: GONE
Leonard is ready to go to the hotel. Suddenly someone knocks on his door. “Come in,” he commanded, but it still didn’t stop knocking. He felt irritated, so he approached the one who knocks on his door to open it, and when he opens it, a smiling man appeared in front of him who marks the deep dimples on his cheeks.
Leonard smiled back at it. “When did you back?” Leonard asked the man.
“Hmm, six months ago,” the man said.
“Six months ago?” Leonard wrinkled his forehead. “But why did you show up just now? You are something.” Leonard smirks at it.
“Won’t you even let me into your office first, before you interrogate me?” the man asked.
Leonard cleared the way. The man he was talking to immediately entered his office. It was James Torres, the acquaintance of Alyssa. It turned out to be his best friend. “I’ve
Chapter 44: THE TRUTH JAMES FOUND OUTThey transferred Alyssa to the V.I. P room. She still sounded asleep as Leonard sat next to Alyssa, waiting for her to wake up. Ethan went home to get dress and rest at the same time.About a few minutes later, James entered the room. He approached Leonard. "Leonard, your grandpa, and aunt are here. Should I let them in?" he asked Leonard."No, the noise might awake Alyssa. I'll just go outside. Please, watch her for me. I'll just come out." Leonard begged. James nodded to Leonard. Then Leonard went outside the room.James took place the seat where Leonard sat earlier. He looked at the woman who was his best friend claimed as his wife. When his eyes suddenly widened at what he saw.It was the girl he saw from the road soaking wet in the rain five months ago. The woman he fell in love at first sight with and the woman he can't forget. 'No, this can't be. I think I’m just imagini
CHAPTER 45: THE TRUTH BEHIND THE ACCIDENTElena was inside her color black car. She gets her cellphone that was inside the glove box of her car. Elena wanted to call someone. She dialed the number and immediately put the cellphone on her right ear.“Hello,” the number she was calling answered. It was a voice of a woman.“I was in the parking lot, as you instructed me. What now? Have you ever called his wife to see me? Did you tell her I was pregnant and Leonard was the father? Is she going to come here, or maybe you're just fooling me and waiting for her for nothing? I’m a busy person! I don’t want my time to be wasted!” she said to the person she was talking to on the phone.“Relax, my dear. Don’t worry, everything is in line with my plans, and she's on her way there.” The person she was talking to on the other line answered. Then she immediately dropped the c
CHAPTER 46: THE PAINFUL MOMENTLeonard was about to enter Alyssa’s room when someone called on his cellphone, so he didn’t enter first and answer the call. “Hello,”The man on the other line told him something. It was his trusted bodyguard, Joey. “Okay, Joey, thanks for the info.” And he immediately dropped the call.He searched in his contact list and was about to call her ex-girlfriend (Elena) when suddenly his phone rang and coincidentally it is Elena. He answered it immediately. “Hello, why did you call?” he asked her, pretending that he didn’t know the reason when in fact; he already had a clue why it called him. He just wanted to know if his ex-girlfriend will tell the truth.“Leonard, can we talk in person? I have a confession to you.” She begged.“Whatever it is, tell me here on the phone. Don’t you worry; I will listen to everything yo
CHAPTER 47: THE EVICTIONThree days after, Alyssa had returned to their home, grieving. Alyssa never leaves the room and always cries. She could hardly eat and could not accept the loss of her child.Leonard could do nothing but watch his sad wife in the distance. They never talk to each other anymore, and so did Ethan before Ethan, used to approach Alyssa easily.Alyssa seems to have a change after the tragedy.Leonard is already wearing an executive suit to go to the office today because it is the day that he will evict his aunt’s son, Ru. Just a few days ago, it was the one who fills his position temporarily, since that day, many shareholders and workers had complained about it because of its wrong policy.Today, he will also put an end to his aunt’s evil deed. They found out that this was the mastermind behind the accident of Alyssa and that she used Elena to be her bait from his ex-girlfrie
CHAPTER 48: HAPPY ENDING OR NOT?I saw him already dressed. My husband would surely go to the office. I wanted to approach him, but I did not have the strength to do it. I have no face to look at him, and I am ashamed of him especially, with Leonard’s brother, Ethan. For me, it was my fault why we lost our child. If I had just followed what Ethan told me. I would not have run over by the car. I am to blame for everything, but that is not what happened.I could see that my husband seemed to blame himself. I feel it. Every night in our sleep, I wake up hearing my husband crying. He was crying in his dream. Apologizing to our son, and worst of all, he always spoke to it wishing that it should be him. He should be the one who disappears, which further causes pain in my heart that seems to be slowly crushing my heart into pieces. It comes to where I could no longer breathe.For me, I am a useless wife. I couldn’t sleep every ni
CHAPTER 49: THE BLESSINGAlyssa was already lying on her bed and about to sleep when suddenly her grandma knock on her door. Even though she was lazy to get up because of her unceasing crying next to her grandma earlier, it still forced her to stand up.She opened her door. “What is it, grandma?” she asked.“You have a visitor.” Her grandma said.She was wondering why she had a visitor when she never expects someone. “Who was it, grandma?” she asked.Her grandma grabbed her and said, “Don’t ask anymore. Just come with me.” She did nothing but follow her.When they arrived in the living room, her eyes widened at what she saw. Her heart suddenly beats so fast. As if she couldn’t move. Her grandmother motioned Leonard to come over to her and left the living room to give them space.“W-What are you doing
CHAPTER 1: PROPOSALI was on my knees as I looked at the altar of the church, begging that God may help me with my circumstances.My grandma was on the brink of death! She had heart failure and needs to be operated on right away, but I don't have enough money to pay for her operation and a donor. I don't want to lose her. She was the only one I've got.My name is Alyssa De Guzman, 20 years old, a first-year College student pursuing AB Mass Communication.My parents died when I was a baby, and I didn't even have a chance to see them. Since then my Grandpa and Grandma was the only person who looks after me, but since my grandpa died last year, the only grandma had left with me."Lord, please has mercy on me! Help me think of what to do to find a way for her operation! You know that she's the only person I've got! What am I going to do if I will lose her? Boohoo, boohoo, boohoo...!" I sobbed until my tears were gone.
CHAPTER 2: HER GRANDMA'S OPERATIONI rushed into the hospital, where my grandma transferred to see her and confirm if she was okay. I asked the nurse attendant if there is a patient name Amalia De Guzman admitted there. "Miss, may I know if there was a patient transferred here earlier name Amalia De Guzman?""For a while, ma'am, I'll check the records for the patients who are newly transferred." The nurse answered. Then she took some of the record books and checked in them.After she checked it, she looked at me and said, "Yes, ma'am, it has. She was in the V.I.P room 206 located on the second floor."I was so glad about what I found out, so I smiled at her and said, "Thank you so much, Miss."I quickly run towards the elevator to go to the second floor. As I arrived at the elevator, I quickly press the button to open it. Then it opened. I hurriedly get into the elevator and push the number two button to the second floor
