2024-10-29 19:42:56“Yes, yes, I understand that… really, Seki. I know what I am doing”
Looking at me with that bored look on her face, I know how much she doesn’t have a single trust in the words I have said. Although, what I said was true! I know that it was reckless of me to go there… but I need to do that. Or else…
Or else I would regret not doing so…
“I don’t really understand why you are so thick-headed after all of what happened. But Kianna… I am just worried”
Pinching my cheeks, she is like a big sister to me.
“Sorry to make you worry”
“As if you wouldn’t do it again”
I just offer her a smile. Drake is now talking with someone on the phone. I bet it was his employer. Will it really be right that he won’t do that project? But if it is impossible as of now, there is really no reason to keep pursuing it. It takes time…
“Seems like you have to go now”
She mumbled pointing to Drake.
“I need to talk with Mr. Sebas first”
There was a frown on her face. Indeed, it isn’t the right term to be used in my words. Talk? I should have said… I have something I want to tell to Mr. Sebas. But repeating it to her doesn’t really fit in my situation. hah, just let it be. She would surely understand what I meant.
“Just, got to go”
Walking my way inside the room, I saw Shaun talking to someone. Nodding my head, he leaves the room after taking a glance at his father.
And there, only I and Mr. Sebas were left in his room.
My heart beats a bit fast. Am I nervous? I don’t know if it was because of the room that the sound of his monitor beeping at a stable rate can be heard so loud, but looking at his state surely gives me a shock. Who would have thought that he would be like this…
It feels like it was just yesterday that I saw him greet me with a small smile on his lips. As if it was just yesterday how he told me things about his son.
I feel like… it was so weird that things ended up like this. I mean, he doesn’t deserve to be in this state…
“Mr. Sebas, it is me… Kianna”
I can still remember his words as he spoke to me whenever I had a conversation with him back in the mansion. I miss even the smile on his face and his caring look… for some reason, I keep remembering how lively he was in those times I last saw him. But with how he was now…
It was really a big difference.
“How are you? I heard about what happened… I am happy you survived. But I am not happy to see you in this state…”
Smiling bitterly, I hold his wrist slightly. Not wanting to give any force that might hurt him. Even though he is not awake, I know that somehow, he can hear me.
“You will wake up soon and recover quickly… right?”
What kind of people can do such a horrible thing like this? If this isn’t an accident but a fully crafted plan… he isn’t a person at all. How can he kill people like this? How can he ruin someone else’s life??
I know that it is not good to blame someone just because you have hatred towards them. But, can you blame me if all I can see as the one behind all of this is that guy?
“Marco… is he the reason for this?”
But he is my father’s son. Is it really him? How can he kill my father when he chooses him over me? Over mom?
“But how can he do that? I can’t find any reason why he woul-“
Shaking my head, it is not possible about money. He is the sole heir of all my father’s property and business. There is no way…
“I don’t know… I really don’t know what the reason for all of this… but Mr. Sebas, I will make sure that the one behind this is punished. I hope for your fast recovery… Mr. Sebas. Fight… for yourself and for your son. Shaun really cared about you. More than what you think he would…”
Smiling at him, why am I getting emotional? I don’t know where these emotions are coming from…
But really…
I can’t remove the image of my own father crossing my mind
“I am really happy that you are alive… Mr. Sebas…”
If you would also leave… like my father… as someone who cared for me since I was a little… I don’t know what I can do to the one that did this to you two…
…
Walking with Drake, I am still wearing the disguise I have. But I don’t know why Drake would not say anything about my get up.
“Should I really blonde my hair?”
I mumbled asking him. It made him look at me.
“So it is not permanent?”
Shaking my head, it is just a wig… I wouldn’t dare do something that would take too much time.
“Nope, but what do you think about this? I mean it is not blonde like bright blonde…”
“You still look beautiful”
Rolling my eyes, why do I sense he would say that?
I hold his hand as we walk. This place doesn’t have many people. I am starting to think that this hospital was built for Mr. Sebas only. But I don’t think Shaun would have that much capability… I mean… does he?
Thinking about it, why does he look so close to Seki? Wait a minute… did I skip something important?
“Drake? Are they dating?”
“Hmm?”
“I mean, Shaun and Seki… is it just me or they look close?”
About to leave the place, I would be joining Jena again on our way back home. I can’t go with Drake since, even if I am in disguise, being seen in public to be together would raise a bit of eye from those nosy people who want nothing but to report any hot topics they might see in every corner of their cameras.
“I am not quite sure too. Did Seki not tell you anything?”
“Other than scolding me, she didn’t say anything about that. So I am really not sure”
The sunlight then touches our faces as soon as we step outside the building.
“I think this is it”
“Don’t speak as if we won’t be meeting back at home. You still have lots of things to tell me”
I smiled at him. Jena saw me and immediately prepared the car.
“And so do you”
He slightly laughed as he fixed the helmet he was now holding.
“Don’t do this again, doing something reckless and all…”
Even if he says so, I wonder if I can do what he wants me to do.
“I can’t promise I would…”
A deep sigh then escaped his lips.
“You are not you if you are not reckless”
Giggling, I can’t help but realize how true his words are. I am indeed reckless as he says. But I am trying my best not to always be…
“Just promise me you will always prioritize your safety more than anything else… okay?”
Looking at me with those warm eyes, this isn’t fair… how can I not promise when he is like that?
“Okay, I promise…”
There was a beep sound that I heard. It was Jena. It seems like we really have to go.
Waving my hands, I hop inside and look at him. now wearing his helmet, he does look so cool riding his motorcycle.
It is not as if we won’t see each other back home… but, really… I hope we reach home soon. I can’t wait to see him.
“Thank you for waiting Jena”
“It is my job, Madam”
Laughing a bit, she just called me Kia that time. Why so distant now?
“I prefer you calling me Kia than madam, it is not as if we are not friends”
“But I thought you liked Bea than Kia? Madam?”
Wait, don’t tell me she is acting this way because I didn’t use the nickname that she gave me? I didn’t know Jena would be childish too. But I really like her, I am happy I have someone close to me who would treat me like a real friend.
“Jena, don’t be mad… ahh why are you so cute?”
“Madam, please refrain from saying something nonsense”
I giggled, but before I could even let out a laugh, I didn’t know that the world would be too cruel to take away that kind of happiness I was feeling right now.
Answering Serena’s phone call, I was just thinking about visiting her, and yet, I didn’t know that it would come sooner than I expected it to be.
“Serana… wait… you mean to say… they all leave because there was a high offer in somewhere else?”
[Yes! That is exactly what it is. Even all our talented people… leave. Only Crissa, Harold, and Kaye stay. I don’t know what is happening… please… can you come here? I really need you]

As soon as we arrived back in the house, I quickly gathered the files I had with me. I also bring my laptop and some other things. Looking at Drake, he is now holding the keys to our car. Smiling at me with that reassuring gaze, I nodded my head. I shouldn’t panic. I can do this. I must… “Let’s go” We are on our way to an apartment named after someone else. Serena’s friend. But in reality, I am the owner of that unit. Drake and I. Just think of it as a disguise. For me to have the chance to meet Serena. Since we all do not know what may happen if anyone finds out that I am still alive. Since I already made up a name as Bea, should I ask Jena to sell me an identity? That would be much easier. It would be easier to move that way. “Kianna, don’t read while we are moving. Or else your eyes would be hurt” “Drake, I need to know the situation right away. Every second counts. Sorry… just… just this time” Putting his hand on my wrist, it made me look at him. he may be staring straight a

“Stay, that is all I need you to do” “Are you fucking out of your mind? You don’t see me as some kind of dog that would stay just because you wanted to, do you?” Full of anger, even though it was just the two of them inside that room, Hera can’t help but feel like something is not right. If before, she would feel comfortable with him, now, it wasn’t the case at all. As if, something inside her was telling her that he was just a piece of bad news. “I don’t even know why I came here after all of that, what a waste of time” About to leave, she was surprised when Marco stopped her with his blunt words. “But you know how much you love to be a dog with me” Eyes widening in anger, she stomps her feet as she slams her hands on his table. Glaring at him as if she would kill him, he is not frightened at all. “I dare you to say that again and I will not fucking tolerate any of your bullshits” “But I am telling the truth, am I not?” Scowling at him, instead of feeling frightened, Marco se

“Jena, did you find anything?” Shaking her head, Jena handed her the envelope that she was holding. They planned to meet in Serena’s place but because of some matters, they decided to just meet back home. After all, it would be bad if anyone found out that they have a connection with Serena. “That is all I got. Even though it was quite quick since Shaun also looked through his information, that is what we gathered” Opening the envelope, indeed, both files of those two are as clean as snow. White on the outside yet they are still hiding impurities. “By the way, are you alone?” Jena asked as she looked around and found no one else than them. “No, Drake was with me. He was just taking a bath” “Ahh… that is good to hear. Please avoid being alone. Even though this place is the most safest for you, we can’t tell what may happen.” “Thank you for your concern, Jena… but I would be more than happy if we find even just a small piece of evidence to bring their dirt out their faces” Noddi

“I thought it would be you who is sick once again but to my surprise, it was Drake” Holding Drake’s hands, I know no one else who may help us right now. It was Gion who was a doctor, a friend of Drake. One of the few people that knows that I am still alive. He is also a friend of the therapist I talked to before. “How was his condition?” “You don’t have to worry much. You two are a lucky couple if I may say. He just needs rest and that is all. I will prescribe him a medicine and make sure that he drinks it on time” Looking at the state of Drake, he doesn’t look good even though Gion told me he is… “Don’t worry too much. It won’t be good for you. More than anything else, Drake needs you this time. Be here for him. He may be under lots of pressure and have not much sleep. Those factors are enough to make him have a fever” Drake surely is… doing more than what he can. He is always pushing himself too much. But no matter what I told him to rest, he won’t do so… this guy… why is he ma

“And.. There we go”Letting out a deep sigh as soon as I rested my head on my pillow, Drake was beside me. Completely changed and fresh. I didn’t know it would be that hard but it was worth it. To think that he would be sick like this… I should really scold him whenever he works too much. It isn't good for him. Work is important but… honestly, he is much more important than that. I know he can achieve many things and I am so proud of him for that. But… I would be more happy if he won’t be in tough spots… Looking at his face his breathing is stable. I hope he gets well soon…Hugging him, I can't help but wonder. The hurting face he showed me before… I wonder what happened in those things that he saw. Is there a possibility that he has seen sometimes I didn’t?I mean, sure, it was a surprise that he know some memories when I turn back time… but… with what the other Kianna told me… Souls… timeline… Is there a possibility that I did not go back to the past but live another timeline?

“I think it wouldn’t be long till the company totally fails… hah… what is wrong? Why are they targeting-“ Confused about why there was a call in the odd hour, Serene still picked up the phone as soon as she saw it was her best friend, Kianna. “Yes? What is it?” [Serena…] Calling her name with a horsey voice, Serena can’t help but frown. ‘Something isn’t right. Something isn’t right’ “What happened?” As soon as she heard the news, Serena couldn’t help but be worried. [It seems like Drake was his target now. We still haven’t finished the matters in the company and here we are…] “Is it… that Marco’s doing again?” Among anyone else, the only person who would have such motives to constantly target her friend is none other than that man, Marco Hinsen. [It seems so] Serena gulp. ‘Just as I thought’ “What shall we do now?” [Serana… we always make jokes when we told each other back then that if any of us kills someone, the other one would help hide the corpse] It was indeed a jo

“What the hell… how did this happen?? You are telling me she just took almost half of our sales?? That woman… “Seeing the paper that shows the report of their Hinsen company, no one can deny the fact that simple dust became a big eye-sore for them.“Bea Houson…”Marco mumbled looking at the profile of Bea. He can’t help but have a small frown on his face.“Everything looks perfect…”Showing up in the GALA that he prepared to commemorate the death of his father, it was a plan to strengthen the connections of the one and only boulder of the fashion industry.In the world of fashion, they are the parent of all other small branches. None dare look down on them. None dare attack them and compete with them. But that was an old story to be told.Shining as if she were a precious gem, no one predicted how the fashion bee would appear. In terms of men and women, it was known that women could be more creative and all. Even before Mr. Hinsen, the very founder of that company was his mother who n

Such a big remark to say. Why would a small rising company like mine would dare claim that thing? To tell them that I am indeed thinking of overthrowing the Hinsen company, I am only digging the own fall of my brand.“Where did you get that from?” I chuckled.Silver Moonlight, that is the theme line of my brand. Shining in the dark, one can say that the sun may shine brighter but only clouds can hide the majestic beauty that captivates people. It is the power that it holds.And because of my rising, surely… many people would think that way. As they finally see how my company is growing like a dream turning into a reality.“Why would I dare do that? to be honest, it is a small secret of mine but… I guess it won’t be a secret anymore. I am a big fan of Dona Lora Hinsen. The very person who build the name Hinsen in that fame. I am sure you are all aware of who she is. Right?”Seeing her surprise words, maybe she didn’t know that someone in the age like mine would know who Dona Lora was. B

Right in front of me, I could see far away the figure of Drake standing at the end of the aisle.If I could, I would run to where he is... but that would be funny. How can a slow walk of the bride be a bride running to her groom?That was quite cute but... I can’t help but giggle with what I was thinking.Still, it helps me calm down as I took my step walking closer and closer to where he is.The sound of the piano was so wonderful that I even wonder where that familiar playing was from.

The feeling of losing something important.... the feeling of not being able to do anything for it...I can’t help but feel useless...Those things that I have, I am grateful. But to those things that I let go...I feel like, I am an asshole...Did I really make the right choice?Kianna...She’s been with me ever since. I truly care for her but...

There are things we might forget but that doesn’t mean they are no longer important to us.There are times we feel like we know someone when we don’t really even have a bit of conversation with them. Just the feeling of being close to that person for some reason. As if the moment you talk with them, what you can find is nothing but comfort... as if you have known them for so long...There are times that we feel guilty about something we don’t even know. As if we feel so sorry for any trouble we have caused. But when we asked ourselves what that was about... no words came out of our mouths.Weird... yet at the same time, we can’t even say it wasn’t true. For all of it was real and valid.We feel sad for a sudden moment in our lives. And funnily... it is for no reason at all... or maybe there really is a reason behind it but we just don’t really remember. We just don’t really know what the reason behind those tears was...Our minds are blocked from remembering what it really was. As if

They said that dreams are something that we shouldn’t remember. For it was designed to be forgotten once we are awake.But in some rare cases, dreams... make us remember them. To give us a message... to grant us some warnings... realization of something that only our subconscious mind can comprehend.‘I should have known that soul is a disaster’‘Her fragments are scattered... now the timelines are in chaos’‘How can a mere soul do that...’‘... She is not just a mere soul...’‘She got that blessing... even some of the angels bound in the land of mortals helped her...’‘But what would you do now? You finally got her fragments?’‘Why bother asking? There is only one thing to do. Fixed it the way it should be. Each soul must only have one memory of their life. And these two are rare cases that are starting to affect the others’My head hurts...As if... something was taken from inside me...The warmth... that I had in my heart seemed to be leaking out.The moment I opened my eyes, it to

Everything seems to be going with its best flow... with my family, with my career... all of it was in a smooth sail... and who would have thought that... it been months since that incident?Thanks to those memories that I have, I was able to prevent most of the things that might cause a huge problem in this timeline. Weird to say this but most of the scenarios in each life have similarities. Those people around me are the same... and there are just rare cases that their deaths would be different. As if it was their fate... my fate...Still, the fact that not all of them are identical means that changes of the future is still possible. The fact that I can prevent things from happening means that I can change the future I will have either for the better or worst of it.But I do hope that the future will be good to me... To be honest, this life is not just for me alone. It is for me and all of the Kiannas that lived a life before mine.Those things that they weren’t able to do... those w

In the end, I failed to see the photo he took. But he was so happy, I can tell. Well, I would admit, me too… I feel so happy now that we two were able to have this much fun.“Yes, that would be all for today”I mumbled as I shut close the folder I had in my hand. All the files regarding the situations that happened are now updated. I think we’ve fixed almost all of it... well, maybe aside from some minor things. But it shouldn’t be a trouble at all.Letting out a deep sigh, I can’t help but miss my date with Drake. I wonder what he is doing today...Opening my bag, I pick up my phone but...“Huh? This isn’t my phone...”It was Drake’s...Did I end up picking up his phone before heading out? Now that I think about it, our phones were charging closely with each other...“Maybe I did pick it up by mistake... I should call him- no... I should call my phone that is probably with him right now...”I giggled as I realized how clumsy it was to not realized that I took the wrong phone with me.

I do have that question for myself as well.Now that the world finally knows I am dead, would it be… right to announce the truth?That is something I am still not sure.And also… What would happen to the company now… I mean… Dad is not around and my brother- No, what I mean is Marco… he is not even my brother…“Kianna…”Patrish mumbles for the first time.“Whatever it might be… please tell us if you plan something big again…”Smiling bitterly, Patrish looks at me.“We are not just your friends, we are a family too. So we were really hurt when we learned about your death. We are hurt more than you can ever think of…”“Patrish…”“I understand what happened but still, we didn’t like what you did. We are happy that you are back but we feel betrayed…”I nod my head. I know that. I already knew it would be like that and I understand that it was but my fault.“I am really sorry… I know that what I did is wrong. Sorry… really”…After that conversation, I never hear Hera’s voice again. She ref

“Kianna? You are…”“Alive?”Looking at their surprised face, I am not sure of where to start. Should I say hello? Or should I explain things first? I… really don’t know.I can feel my hand turning numb. Joined with my heart that was beating so loud, I couldn’t take it… My head is in a mess. As if I am a device full of things with no storage left. And about to turn weird any time soon.Patrish, Scott, Kyler, Exequiel, and Warren. They all came here to see Hera. And also because of the fact that I send them a message to come here…“Thank you for coming here today…”Patrish could not help but put her hand on her lips. Covering it as she did not remove her eyes from me.“Wait wait wait… I don’t understand… Kianna… is that really you? This is not some kind of a joke, is it? If it is, guys it is not funny at all. Quit it right away!” Exequiel mumbles as he has his hands holding his hair.Still is not sure of what was happening.Still can’t process what the whole situation is all about.“Yes
