“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

    “She is awake, what should we do?”I hear how one of them started to speak to the other. Even though I am tied, I am lucky my eyes are not restricted. But… why am I here? And… am I wearing a hospital gown?Shit… my shoulder hurts so freaking bad… maybe if not for Third calling me there, I would have felt much more pain than now. I mean, I think I already received treatment. But what- ah, why am I not in the hospital?! What do they want from me!??“Just let her be. We will meet the boss again. By that, our job is done”So they are men of someone… but who? Marco? But why would he… is it because of how my company rose?Ever since I lived a quiet life with Drake, I never felt like my life was in danger. How I wish it would all be just like that… but no, it wasn’t like that. And if I do nothing, I am afraid more people will get hurt.If it is Marco… isn’t he being so greedy? He now has the company for himself. Why would he…Shaking my head, there is no use in thinking such a thing. Someone

Who knew if someone on their side was part of this mess?“Can I borrow your phone then?”Looking at me, the police are already in front of us.“Please”“Sure”Throwing me the phone, the police are now talking to them. Surivan explained what happened but I did not bother to hear what they were talking about. As for Xemion, he remains calm despite of what happened. Dialing Drake’s number, his contact appeared right away. So he did know him. even in this timeline. But how did he know me?[Xemion? You called]“Hi…”I blur out. I can’t possibly call his name in front of the police. Can I?But… I just hope he would know who am I.[Kianna?!

Well... he did know my past with Francis but I am glad that he have trust in me.“Thank you for coming to our wedding. They said it was thanks to you that Lhanoir agreed in playing the piano for our us. You have my deepest thanks.”The exchange greetings and it just occurs me what they are talking about. Now that I remember it, that sound of the piano, that kind of playing... it was out of ordinary. Who would have thought it was Lhanoir? I admired her when I was young...Now that I think about it... I think Drake told me something about the pianist for our wedding... but I was so sleepy that I didn’t really understand what he was talking about.“You don’t have to thank me. It just happened that I have an acquaintance who is close to her”Blinking my eyes, I look back at Drake and Francis. Slightly giggling, I didn’t think that there would

    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. But right now, I don’t find the urgency to find out the answer for that.For my mind was filled with nothing but hopes that the carpet I was walking on would bring me quicker to where Drake was.Somehow, Drake’s eyes was locked on mine, that even after I stopped my walk, he didn’t leave his gaze off me.A hand then offered his hands to me. It was grandpa.Dad is not here so grandpa offered to be the one to walk me down the aisle. And I could wish nothing else but this.“You look much more beautiful to

    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... I thought... casting her away would be the right choice for her to forget her feelings for me.But... every time... I wonder if I have made the right choice...She was there when I needed her but when she needed me... I cast her away. I push her and avoid her...“Are you finally awake?”“Hmm...”“What’s the matter?”I look at myself in the mirror. Indeed, I also want to ask that to myself. What is the matter with me?“Kieffer, are you all right? Do you want to go to the hospital?”Slightly laughing, I shook my head.“No need Mom, I am fine”No, I am not. I have so many troubles in my head that I want to clear up. It is not like I could say th

    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

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.
