2023-08-24 04:11:42Kevin felt something wet dripping on him. He looked up and noticed the dark clouds above him. The rain poured down upon him. He sat like that for a few moments before he stood up with Alice in his arms. He walked toward his car, opened the back door, and laid her gently on the back seat. He wiped his tears roughly with his arm as he walked toward the driver's side and slid behind the wheel. He started the car and drove off.
Kevin stood in the field. The rain had stopped but the clouds were still thick and dark in the air.With the shovel in his hand, he looked down at Alice’s grave a few km from the Orphanage that had burned down. This was their place, where they were happy, and this is the place where he wanted her to rest. Kevin slid on his knees. The gentle breeze blew past him leaving no sound. Like an ocean takes the dirty sand so has my heart been taken away with you. Only a shell of a man remains.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Kevin disappeared after the death of Alice. He changed his appearance and name. After years passed and numerous searches, everyone could only presume he was dead.After Maisie was discharged from the hospital she went through numerous counseling. The disappearance of her brother and the loss of Alice paired with what she went through, broke the innocent girl she was before into a cold soul. She took over her brother’s place in the Rodriguez family and became the most feared leader known to man.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~“Goth are you coming?” Amore called out from the distance.He tore his eyes from the ocean in front of him and looked at the family of three waiting for him.Isabella, Amore, and Nathan’s little girl came running toward him. He bend down and caught the little girl as she leaped into the air into his arms.“Uncle Goth, why are your eyes wet? Are you not having a nice time?” Isabella asked.“Goth quickly wiped his arms and smiled at the beautiful girl. No, beautiful. I am just thinking back of my beautiful girl.”“Oh, okay. Pappa said we must go home now.”“Okay, you go ahead first. I will follow behind.”Goth smiled, he kissed her on her head and placed her down watching as she skips to her parents.”Kevin looked one last time at the ocean before he turned around and walked back to the family of three.Related chapters

As their eyes met, her eyes widen in disbelief. She was afraid to blink. Even to look away for a mere second. Taking two steps back, she grabbed Wes's arm to stabilize her.“Are you okay?" Wes asked as he frowned down at her hand on his arm.“A- Y- Yeah,” Alice said.She glimpsed at Wes for only a second. Forgetting a moment back she did not even want to blink. That mere second, she regretted once she looked back. She blinked a few times hoping, praying that he would reappear again. Could it be her mind playing a joke on her? Fifteen years have passed, and every day she wished, prayed to get only a glance of him.Her eyes searched through the room.“Where - Where did he go?” She murmured“Who? What is wrong with you tonight, Alice? You are not acting like yourself.” Wes followed her gaze,“I thought I saw...” Alice glanced at Wes, but when she saw his disinterested glare, it awoke her to reality.“Forget it.”The little bit of hope her heart longed for, was instantly washed away by th

Alice felt her phone vibrating in her purse. She sighed, as she saw the caller id,“Hello?”“Alice, are you back from London?” Wes enquired.“Yes, I am heading home as we speak.”“Meet me at the restaurant around the corner from my company.” Wes ended the callAlice glared at the sorry of an excuse, fiancé sitting in front of her.Wes stared daringly back into Alice's eyes.“I do not think you are capable of loving anyone. I am your fiancé. Why can’t you show me any affection?”Alice leaned back in her chair. She looked down at her fingernails and moved her eyes back to him.“This is a business transaction, Wes. You knew that from the start. Do you think I am not aware of the affection you received from other women? I always thought their affection was enough.”Wes glared at Alice, ignoring her words,“If you think I will enter this marriage with you, you must be dreaming. This engagement is off!”Wes did not wait on her response and stood up, straighten his tie, and turned to walk aw

“Father,” she greeted as she walked up to him and kissed him on his cheek.She took the chair opposite him and crossed her legs.“How did the meeting go in London?”Adriano was in his late eighties. He could not travel as much anymore due to his age and health.“It went well. Khan said he already informed you.”The butler walked in and placed Adriano’s whiskey on the table next to him. The butler bowed and left. The tray flew across the floor. Whiskey splashed against the wall and glass pieces shattered everywhere. “I asked you! How many times do I have to tell you, to not trust anyone?”Alice did not flinch. She only stared at him.The butler hurried in and started cleaning and picking up the pieces of glass.“The deal went through. They liked our proposal. We will start supplying in ten days.”Adriano nodded. The sound of his ring finger tapping against the wooden chair annoyed Alice“Everything going as planned with the engagement party tonight?” Adriano asked as he looked with c

Techno Corporation“Sir, Sir. Our server has crashed! Everything is down.” Wes stared horrified at the IT guy that rushed into his office.“Then what are you standing here for? Go fix it! Why do you need me to tell you that?” The veins on Wes’s neck stood out.The guy looked down at his shoes.“I – I can’t”“Is this company full of morons?’ he thought to himself.“What do you mean you can’t? Why are you the head of the IT department if you can’t fix something so straightforward?”“Sir. This is more complex than I have ever seen before. It looks like an outside source has done this– this is beyond my knowledge.”Wes closed his eyes, “Can you speak English? What outside source? How is that possible? Didn’t we buy the best program out there to prevent this? Are you telling me the company wasted money!”“It must be an Elite hacker sir. Hopefully, they will contact us soon, and tell us what they want. Normally they are after money.”“Are you telling me I should wait? That is your plan to

Kevin’s eyes followed Alice’s every move. He caught a glimpse of her eyes. Her eyes used to shine full of light. He remembered how they used to sparkle when she twirled around and laughed. Her laughter. Oh, how he missed that sound. He remembers her torn expression when they had to part ways. Her body shook against his as she hugged him and softly cried, saying their last goodbyes. He never saw her again, until today. He kept the promise he made her, but he had a feeling things were not going to be as simple as he thought.“You grew up, Alice. Your not the innocent girl you once were.” Kevin whispered to himselfHe smirked as he watched how she handled Wes."Sir, shouldn’t we follow her?" Nico, Kevin’s right-hand man asked“No,”“NO? We are just going to let her leave?”"Yes, It's not time yet."“O- kay,”"I would love to stay and watch the show, but I have things to do." Kevin patted Nico on the back. "Come on, let's go!"“Why are we leaving now? We are missing the best part!" Nico c

"You overrate my capacity of love. I don't possess half the warmth of nature you believe me to have. An unprotected childhood in a cold world has beaten gentleness out of me."by, Thomas Hardy"GET OUT," Alice screamed then stared out of the window.Her right hand started to tremble. She stops it by placing her left hand on top of it.Oliver nodded and climbed out. Alice watched Khan taking two steps at a time as he sprinted down the steps towards her car. He climbed into the driver's seat and sped off.Alice looked at the ocean as they drove along the shore. The car came to a stop. Khan leaned his seat back and closed his eyes. Alice waited a second. It has been a long time since she came back to this place. She inhaled and climbed out of the car. The fresh sea wind whisked across her face blowing the daisies that were still in her hair with it. She took her shoes off and continue to walk barefoot. In front of her was a long cement pier. She walked until she reached the end of the pi

Kevin read through an important report. He heard the door to his office open.“Didn’t I tell you not to bother me?” Kevin asked annoyed without looking up.“No, you did not!” She said as she walked toward his table and sat in the chair opposite him. Her feet automatically went on to the table.“Feet off!”"Why so grumpy today? Didn’t you miss me? I came here straight from the airport.”Kevin looked up. His facial expression softend when he saw her.“Hello, brother!” She said with a smileHe stood up and walked around the desk. She giggled when he hugged her.He pulled back looking from top to bottom.“Welcome back Maisie! You look good.”Maisie Rodriquez. Age twenty. Kevin’s younger sister.She playfully hit his shoulder.“You better not say I got fat!”He chuckled as he sat on the edge of the table in front of her.“I was talking about your clothes. I gather this is one of your new designs?”She twirled around. “What do you think?” She asks with excitement.He tilted his head left an

Alice’s eyes moved to the guy sitting a table away from the girl. He kept looking her way. Alice tilted her head.“What are you looking at?” Khan asked as his eyes followed hers.” He sighed, “Yeah, I also noticed it when she came in. Looks like he has been following her for a while”“Yeah. I saw that too. Can I please?” Alice askedKhan narrowed his eyes at her. “You know I don’t get you. You hate this type of work but when you can teach someone like him a thing or two” He motioned with his chin toward the guy. “You look like a child in a candy store.”“Yeah well, I like fighting. You like shooting. People like different things, and guys like that. You and I both know what he has in mind for her.”He sighed. “We will see this as your warmup.”Alice smiled triumphantly. She slowly stood up and walked to the guy and sat down in the chair opposite him.“Hey there.” Alice greeted“Get lost. I am working.”“Yeah, I noticed. You wanna play?”“What?” The guy asked“Hey, Franky.”Alice tilted

There is a saying that tomorrow is not promised to anyone. How too aware was Alice of these words? She never cared for these words since she only had revenge to live for, but everything changed when she met Kevin again. She somehow saw hope in her dark life again.Alice tore her eye from Adriano and looked at Khan. Her gaze was sharp, her face was void of any emotion. Khan frowned.“You don’t believe me, do you?” He asked.Alice kept his gaze for a second before she responded.“Oh no, I do believe you.”Khan could not handle Alice's calm demeanor.He burst out laughing and looked down at Adriano who was clenching his chest.“Do you hear that Adriano? She heard every word I said, yet she shown no emotion toward it.” Khan continued laughing while he clapped his hands looking ecstatic about the discovery. “You’re really one heartless woman Alice.”“Are you done?” Alice asked bored. She sneered as she continued, “I may be heartless, but I am not naive, I know how to value the people that

Alice's brows furrowed as her gaze focused on the wheels of Maisie’s bed. She felt a pull on her hand and looked up only to meet Kevin’s eyes.“Are you coming?” He asked.Deep in thought, she gazed at him for a few seconds until her attention was drawn to the ringing of her phone. Without looking at the caller Id she answered almost like knowing who it was. Without saying a word, she held the phone against her ear.“Come home. You have 30 minutes.” Left with only those words the call ended.Alice gazed forward. She lowered the phone with a cold expression and turned to Kevin.“I have some personal matter to deal with first.”Kevin frowned. Uneasiness suddenly overwhelmed him. He could not understand the agitation he felt.“I’ll come with you,” Kevin said without hesitance.“No, Kevin. Maisie has yet to awaken. Your family needs you here. I will deal with my matters and then return.”Kevin could not rebuke her request and could only look as she walked away.He has dealt with many matte

“We are losing her.” Doctor Ian yelled,“She’s coding!”“Crash Cart!”“Clear!!”‘Somehow Maisie knew Luca we're gone. It was as though her soul was still longing, searching for him. Was he calling for her?‘My dearest heart-’‘Sad isn’t it though? To think you are still yearning for him. Sadly, I confess, yes, I still love him. I think - I think, even before I knew what those words meant I knew that I love him, even if he didn’t. I still so deeply loved him. Tell me though, how can I be an architect of my own life if I could not even control you? Every cell and fiber in my body can contest that these words are true. Oh, my dear heart, that once used to beat underneath my chest. Do you still think of this as beautiful?”Kevin and Alice rushed into the hospital toward the emergency room.“There is a young girl that was brought in a while ago, we are her family. Where is she?” Alice asked the lady sitting behind the reception desk.“Give me a moment.” The lady said as she franticly typed
Two Worlds Apart Chapter 35
How significantly can one choice change a life? Standing in the doorway and looking down at the bruised figure laying still on the cold concrete floor, Luca felt himself forgetting to breathe for a faint moment. He knew if he took one step over the invisible line that was drawn between him, and her his life would be over. ‘Mine or hers? Mine or hers? He kept repeating the phrase in his mind even though he already knew the answer to it. His hands trembled at his side as his feet slowly crossed the line, he was so desperately anxious to cross throughout his life. Was the iceberg he built around his heart broken down piece by piece by her when he did not notice?Maisie’s eyes shot open, and he stopped. Lifeless eyes stared back at him. They were dull, the light that they once held was gone broken to pieces.“M - Maisie,” The voice that left his lips even sounded foreign to him.She did not move. She did not speak but only stared back at him emotionlessly. Her face was bruised, her lips s

Breathing felt difficult for Luca as he closed the door behind him.“No, please. OH, heavens no!” Maisie’s cries echoed through the door.Luca closed his eyes as he held onto the doorknob. He knew well enough what Leo was doing inside. The lump that had formed in his throat felt like it was suffocating him. He could not get himself to turn around and walk away like all the previous times. Her pleading cries felt like a thousand blades had pierced into his flesh. With closed eyes, Luca slid to his knees.‘Why did he have to stay and torment his soul, why couldn't he just stand up and walk away like a normal fool? He could not. He could not seem to get his limbs to move. His head banged against the cold concrete floor. To muffle out the sound he tightly pressed his hands against his ears. But to no prevail, he could still hear every sound.Flashbacks of his past flickered before his eyes. He was taken back to the memory of his mother.With no recollection of his Father, hell he does not

Maisie remembered a while ago she had heard over the radio that the Labrato family's remains were found in a lake house, allegedly a wire short-circuit, caught fire in the middle of the night. The family was misfortune and died in the fire. Maisie had thought at that time that something didn't add up and there had to be more to the story. Having a possible cause, the police had no choice further cause to keep the case open and the case was closed on that report. Snapping back to reality, Maisie continued,“What do I have to do with this?” Maisie could not think of why she was implicated in this matter.“What do you have to do with this?” Leo repeated her question in a sarcastic tone, “You, my dear are just unfortunate to have been born in the Rodriquez family. Through you, I get to take my revenge.”Maisie felt her inside turning upside down upon hearing his words.“What- What do you,” She stopped and swallowed, as though she was preparing herself to say the next words, “want to do wi

“Get out,” Luca shouted to the other guy.The guy looked at Maisie for a second and shook his head. Without saying another word, the guy stood up and left. The sound of the door cracking as it shut echoed throughout the silent room. Maisie felt her breathing quicken as her eyes bore into Luca’s. He stood there staring at her as though they were strangers. His eyes looked vacant of emotions. Maisie felt foolish forever believing he once felt something for her. But who was she to kid herself? Looking back at things now. She never fully knew him.Seeing the emptiness in his eyes she could already guess her answer. Maisie releases a snort. She leaned her head forward and began shaking it from side to side. The laughter that erupted from her throat sounded forced but heartbreaking.She suddenly stopped and jerked her head up in his direction.“What someone paid you to do this, it was all for money or no… no, let me guess, you did this for revenge. You could not get your hands on my brother

‘I once heard the quote “I don’t want normal, easy, or simple. I want painful, difficult, devasting, life-changing, and extraordinary love.” But this shit is too much. I guess the love we had between us was one sided.’ Maisie thought to herself as she glared through her hair at Luca. Maisie had begged him when he dragged her out of the car but was left stunned when she felt a hard blow across her face. Everything turned to silence, death screaming silence. Maisie reached for her cheek and held it. The darkness that surrounded Maisie felt suffocating. With that one slap, she felt him tearing her heart out. A Strong hand gripped her on her shoulder and pulled her around.“This one is the prettiest of them all, Luca.”“Stop fucking around and take her inside,” Luca said with a sneer.Maisie watched as Luca walked away without glancing backward. Maisie looked at his figure disappearing into the dark with a frown. “This must be all a mistake. Maybe he had no choice, and this is only for sh
