YARA’S POINT OF VIEW“Who is he?” Walter said. his eyes were red with rage, his hands were balled up in a fist, his face was set in a frown, he was sitting there at the entrance room. I held on to the grey hoodie that laid over my gown.“What do you mean? Who is who?” I asked back doing my utmost best to feign ignorance, I am so fucking nervous right now!He stood up from where he had been seating with one of his legs down and the other one crossed vertically over the one that is touching the ground.“Don’t lie to me Yara, it never ends well for people who do that plus I like having you around so don’t make me do something that we would both regret.” Walter said ominously as he walked around me in a circle. I stood there frozen in place, scared half to death, I remember that night, I remember what he did to Olivia, I remember the haunting sound of her last yell, if he can do that to Olivia Reverra with all her money and influence, if that can happen without him been taken to court for
YARA’S POINT OF VIEW I placed the hood of my hoodie on my head, I tried to blend in with the surrounding, I tried not to be noticed, did my best not to even make a squeak, it is really late at night and at this time the street gets dangerous, there was a car coming my way, the headlights was on almost fully, the headlights were pointing in my direction.I tried to sink further back into the bench I was sitting in, tried to disappear. What if the person coming tries something with me? There would be no one to save me, there would be no one for me to call out to out here in this lonely diserted street.I was literally about to run in panic when he walked out of the car… he being Blake, I ran into his arms with tears streaming down my eyes.“I was so scared, he is so dangerous… he… I don’t know what to do Blake.” I sobbed into his shirt, he said nothing but just held me in his arms.“Let me take you home Yara, everything will be fine, I promise.” Blake said and I totally believe him wit
DIEGO’S POINT OF VIEW It is really funny… waking up handcuffed and tied up by a woman, there’s something a bit sexual about it maybe that’s why I can not take the situation seriously. She has that file in her hand, I actually thought I had gotten rid of that so when I saw it with her I was a lot surprised. Honestly, I don’t really care what she thinks about the file, I don’t think I would ever care what she thinks again, she just proved to me that she is exactly who I think she is, a liar and a manipulator.It’s really funny her spiking my drink, making me unconscious and then trying me up… I am the one who normally does that so this is definitely a new development. I look straight ahead at her, she looks frantic, very shaky, very unsure of her next action… it’s funny how hard she’s trying to hide her shakiness. I’m not really even mad about her spiking my drink and getting the handcuffs on me, I find it more… amusing than annoying, it’s entertaining really, I wonder what little mis
DIEGO’S POINT OF VIEW I woke up drenched in sweat, I did not even know that I fell asleep until I woke up, the last thing I remember from last night was watching Valentina look outside the window.I had a horrible dream one whose thought I cannot dismiss, it seemed very real, too real like it happened, like I was re-living a past life or something, it felt more real than even reality, I can still feel the pain of the bullet piercing through my chest, I can still feel how close I was to death, how the only thing that stopped me from slipping away was her, the girl in the pink ball gown, the girl who looks eerily similar to Valentina Sanchéz.In this dream I was dancing the waltz with this girl in a big beautiful banquet hall, I remember feeling so happy and fulfilled like everything I had ever wanted was finally becoming mine, I held on to this girl more closely, she rested her head on my shoulder, I had my hands on her waist, we danced like this until something happened, I don’t know
YARA’S POINT OF VIEW I feel like a free loader, just staying at Blake’s apartment without paying for anything, not paying for the rent or groceries or anything and on top of that he got beaten because of me, it feels awful to be the reason for a person’s misfortune.I have been here for just a week and I already feel terrible, I should be doing something, I should be paying him back.“Please? I promise I’ll be safe.” I said for the hundredth time.“You can’t promise that Yara, he is dangerous, see what he did to me, I know him Yara a lot more than you think you do.” Blake said, his voice went sad when he said the last part. “I just don’t think I can stay here without doing anything anymore… i am tired of being such a… a leech.” I said. That’s how I feel like a leech, who takes and takes without ever giving back. I need to give back, I need to pay back just so I can feel worthy.Blake stopped arguing with me for a while, he went quiet like he understand where I was coming from like h
DIEGO’S POINT OF VIEW My dream does not make sense but yet somehow it does, it is kinda like my mind is starting to remember but somehow I do not want to accept something that my heart already knows, something my heart has already accepted. I know i love her, I get my heart has known of this fact since the day I set my eyes on her that day at the alleyway, she looked familiar, it felt like I had known her from somewhere like she was from my past life or something.If the part about her being the love of my life before the accident is true does it also mean that the part about her not killing my brother is also true? That can’t be! I know she did it! I saw the footage! What happened five years ago! Why can’t I remember?! Why is my brain so fucking useless!And now the only person who can explain everything to me has somehow vanished! I’m going to get to the bottom of this and who ever helped her escape is going to feel my wrath.I looked at Giovanni, he still looked as arrogant as he
ZARA’S POINT OF VIEW “I have to get married to Maddie.” Delvin said, his words shocked me beyond anything. What?! We are in a relationship! We have been in a relationship for sometime now, he said he loves me that he was willing to spend the rest of his life with me so what changed? I am fine being his secret girlfriend, I’m fine with no one knowing that we are dating, I held my end of the deal, I never spoke to him at the campus or whenever we were in public around people he knows, he said it had something with his father not wanting him to be with any girl that is not up to their social standing, he said he was going to find a way to convince his father that I am different, that he loves me and he is going to spend the rest of his life with me with or without his father’s permission and now he is here telling me that he is getting married to Maddie.As in the girl I had thought to be just his best friend, the girl he had convinced me is just his best friend.“I’m sorry Zara, if I
VALENTINA’S POINT OF VIEW“If I help you remember you have to promise me that you would give me back my daughter.” I said and then paused a bit.“Regardless of what you remember… regardless of if what you remember makes you hate me more than you probably already do.” I added.Diego frowned at me, he thought about it for a while before sighing and finally giving in.“Your daughter would be yours again once I remember my past.” He sad, he looked a bit sad like he was sad to let go of something.I have to make this pact with him because I need to get my daughter back and I am not sure he would be willing to give her back if he knew some of the things I did five years ago.There are parts of the past I would like to remain hidden, parts I hope he never remembers, part of the past I still regret till this day. I wish he can only remember the parts were I was his girl, the parts were we used to be happy, went everything was going smoothly the parts before he returned from the ranch, the pa
ZARA’S POINT OF VIEW I got down from the plane, it’s sunny now, not scorching hot though, just the right temperature like the sky decided to finally smile after the long period of snows. It is January now, December and the holidays is over.December, Christmas was really nice, I spent it with my sister, we watched cheesy Christmas movies while drinking hot cocoa and eating cookies. It was the best time in a long long time, i am getting a little bit homesick just thinking about it. I am in Seoul now, I smile to myself I take in the environment, it’s a little bit busy here at the airport, there are people going and people arriving, there are families welcoming back their loved ones and people saying goodbye.I got my luggage and walked down, I got a taxi and headed to the University. The Taxi stopped in front of the large university accommodation. It looked happy, beautiful, the grasses, trees, the statues, the architecture, everything sat right with me. I stood in front as I checked
YARA’S POINT OF VIEW “So how are you feeling today?” My therapist Nia asked. It was hard the first time I was here, the thought of baring myself completely to a stranger made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Therapy felt a bit complicated, being vulnerable did not seem great but it’s been two months now, I think I am getting better at it.“Better, I feel a bit better. I still have the panick attacks sometimes but I think it will all get better eventually.” I said with a smile on my lips, I stared at the pastel colored walls, at the little posters on them. ‘Breath in breath out you’ll be alright.’ One of the posters said, I believe it. It’s taking a while but I can see the improvement.I moved out, moved to a new area, got a new job, crafted new routines for myself, I feel like everything would be alright… eventually.I’m still learning somethings and unlearning over things, I wake in the morning do a little self affirmation, I try to breathe my way to serenity whenever I feel anxious, I
DIEGO’S POINT OF VIEW I feel so helpless right now, I feel so… tired so drained.I cannot do anything about the situation, i cannot help, make it better, nothing I do will make Ava better now. Most times, in most situations money solves the problem, I have a lot of that but now even that cannot help. We just have to watch and see what happens like what the doctor said. It is a horrible feeling being helpless, not knowing what would happen next, being uncertain, feeling this lump of grief and sadness in the pit of your stomach.She lost a lot of blood, the bullet might have damaged some vital organs in her chest area, the bullet is still in her, it might be completely shattered now making it difficult to find all its pieces. The doctors just keep giving us information that makes the situation worse than it already is and now we haven’t heard from them… the doctors for a while now, they have been in that room with Ava for sometime now, we don’t know what is happening, we don’t know wh
RAPHAEL’S POINT OF VIEW This should be interesting, I wonder who she would pick; her daughter or her lover, I am actually genuinely curious. I watch her intensely, this Sanchéz girl, it’s funny because I watched her grow up, I watched all of them grow up well almost all of them except the little girl Ava. She seems like a nice kid it’s such a shame that she would be dead soon, they would all be dead soon regardless of who Valentina picks, I am just interested in her choice, I am always interested in how the human mind works.Her choice does not mean I would not take my revenge anyway. They all die anyway, every single one of them, I like a clean job that’s why I get things done by myself… most of the time.“Clock is ticking Valentina, thirty seconds more.” There’s tears in her eyes, she looks from Diego to Ava with the gun in her hand. Her daughter Ava looks scared I can’t blame the five years old. Ahhh Drama, I love it.“Shoot me.” Diego said frantically to Valentina, that fool alw
YARA’S POINT OF VIEW There is this girl who had tried to escape yesterday, she looks no older than seventeen, she looks frail and pale, like everything has been stripped away from her. This girl makes me question the love I feel for Raphael. Amelia, seventeen year old, She has been continuously abused, constantly raped by Raphael Fernandez since she was twelve, I was brought to tears by her story, it is so… inhumane what happened to her… how could I have been so dumb to have fallen in love with such an abuser?! I cannot look at him the same, in fact I never want to see him again, I hope Raphael Fernandez gets the punishment he deserves. I looked at the flash drive again, this can get Amelia the justice she deserves, this can bring Raphael the punishment he deserves.I hand this flash drive over to Amelia, we have been plotting her escape for sometime now, me, her and one of Raphael most trusted employee. This employee has been on Raphael’s payroll for the longest time, he was the o
VALENTINA’S POINT OF VIEW.When I saw him standing there at the door way in a grey hoodie, I thought I was imagining things, I thought I had finally gone crazy from loneliness, I think I had let psychosis get the better of me because of how much I miss Diego.But the he moved closer and closer to me, he looked very real, very present, very… there but I did not want to believe it, three months! Three months and he is here now? I had mourned him, I had blamed God of being unfair to me, I had fought God for taking my Diego again so I could not believe that Diego was the one standing in front of me.I ran into his arms with tears in my eyes, I never thought I would ever see him again but thank goodness fate is being kind to me by bringing my Diego back. He hugged me tightly, he hugged me like I am the breath in his lungs, I have so many questions, many things I want to know but for now I just leaned into his hug, enjoying the comfort that it brings.“Diego!! I missed you so much.” I heard
RAPHAEL’S POINT OF VIEW “Where the Fuck is he?!” This bunch of incompetent idiots! How the fuck did Diego escape?! I have everyone lined up in front of me, everyone down to the chef and the butler, they are all so stupid! How could they let this happen! If I don’t get a reasonable answer in 0.1 second every body’s would be spun out of their necks, it wouldn’t make any difference since they are brainless already! Brainless enough to let Diego escape!There have to be a snitch, a betrayer, a two faced idiot amongst these fools because there is no way that Diego escaped all by himself, this place is heavily guarded, there are guard at every single point so someone must have help that spawn of mine.“There is an enemy amongst us, the person who helped Diego escape can either come out now or be fished out.” I studied them one after the other, nobody came out, it’s alright then let the show begin.I dragged the head of the domestic staff out first, she usually knows all the gossips I bet
DELVIN’S POINT OF VIEW It is my wedding day today, I should be happy but I am not, I feel like my life is spinning out of control, I feel like my life is spinning in a direction that I don’t want it to… everything feels so… wrong, so out of place, it feels like I am about to make the worse mistake of my life.Maybe I would have been happy if I was getting married the the only girl I have ever loved. Zara. But Anyway, this has to be done, this will strengthen the alliance between my family and the Perrozos, this is good for business, it will help my father campaign, it will give us the opportunity to merge our companies together and I will be the CEO of this new company.Marrying Maddison Perrozo is what is best, it is what our families want.“My man! It still feels like a yesterday when you were a playboy out here on these streets causing havoc and now you a getting married?! I still can’t believe it!” My annoying brother Hunter said as he patted me playfully on my back.I took my ph
ZARA’S POINT OF VIEW “These past few days has been hell for me, I want to be in your life forever Zara, I can’t… cannot function without you by my side.” Delvin said, his eyes were focused on me, his eyes… they held untold emotions, they held a passion.I swallowed, I have to stay strong, I have to follow my plan, I have to not feel, I have to choose myself, I have to stay alive.We are at a completely empty lounge, there are gaming screens and equipments on some corners of the lounge, some the lights at the corners blinked slowly. I stare one of the screen, it is completely blank but I still stare at it.I don’t want to look at him, I don’t want all the feelings I have for him to come up to the surface, I want him but I also want to stay alive, tonight is the last time I will ever see him.I don’t want to look at him because looking at him will make it harder for me to leave him in the past, looking at him will make it more difficult for me to prioritize my life over our love.Lovin
