Vengeance of the Battered CHAPTER 81
"If you think that I lost my love for you right away, that's not true. It's still here, okay? It's just different now, there aren't as many as before." "I'm sorry if I broke it... that I immediately gave up on what we had before. Sorry... if at this time, Henrix is the one I can't let go of. Henrix is now what my heart desires…” Pointing at my chest, I'm directing my hand to my heart. "But don't worry. As for the complexity of the situation between the two of us now, it seems that the disease has round 2... which I thought I had escaped before." As I looked out into the void, somehow I was able to smile at the pain I felt and the weight of my heart with the weight it was carrying now. "It's impossible we could end up together. But at least he became part of my life... of our lives. Because it looks like Mama gave birth to me unlucky in love life... so, Audrey's there, and... perhaps my future life as a single mom would become... I hope... easier." Liam was supposed to be the on
Vengeance of the Battered CHAPTER 82
Rocco called and said he needs me at Aether, so I couldn't even leave Audrey, knowing that Liam promised me that he would take care of Aud, at least I felt safe to leave the hospital. Hopefully with the second promise he made to me, I won't receive bad news. "So, the other day, Carina talked to me, and she's begging me to allow her to leave the group. It's because She asked me so suddenly, in just a few days their first song will be released, their debut and first conference as a group," said Rocco. I just stayed calm in my seat even though inside, I wanted to explode with anger and wanted to go wild here. "And then I found out that Carina has suffered acute leukemia." "How was she?" “Recovering, Gwen. I have also talked to her that she will not take a leave from the group, and we both agreed that as soon as she recovered, the big event for them will definitely happen." I was frustrated, yes, but at least I never let my emotions swallow me. Therefore, I remain calm and let my mi

"Since you came into their lives, Lucile's life has not been quiet anymore. Her brain was filled with anger and whatever ideas she had just to get you out of their way." Now I was able to follow the direction the words of the man I was talking to were taking. Everything is starting to become clear to me. "The attempt she made to make you miscarry twice, it's all her plan. It just didn't work the second time because the one she ordered—Grandma Minda—was caught." "Is it also the consumption of my family, is she in cahoots with Imelda?" Tearfully, I looked away from the person I was talking to. Maybe because of the answer I will hear from him, I will completely give up. "Is Lucile also one of the ones who planned to make all my family disappear from the world?" "They have planned it... with Ma'am Imelda." I felt like all my energy was drained because of that. She was still with me... she and Henrix, while I mourned the fate of my family and the life I had lost. She sympathized with P

"Do you blame yourself for why that girl was imprisoned? Well, she surrendered willingly-” "And I'm the reason why she turned herself in to the police, Hen." Staying outside of the police station, I did not move to pass through my car on the other side of the road. "I was guilty because... I was also the reason why she committed that sin. My idea is to blame Imelda for the food poisoning that will happen to Tanya. In return for giving her restaurant a bad reputation, Dianne did that." "All because of me!" It was as if my legs suddenly felt weak, I lost the strength to stay standing. "I am the reason why she committed a crime. And now... I'm the reason why she's giving up on herself. Where on Earth could I find peace of mind now?!” I was so upset and with the weight of what I was carrying, I washed my hands from my face and wiped away the tears by myself. While Hen joined me sitting like crazy outside the station while his other arm tried to comfort the hopeless me. "Kris, don't loo
Vengeance of the Battered CHAPTER 85
"Why do I still look wrong here? Why am I still bad? Always in your eyes, I haven't done anything right-" "Do you think it's right to insult a person who’s older than you?!" I don't want to raise my voice at her because I know I would just hurt her feelings by making her realize her mistakes, otherwise I don't want to condone her. "I'm going to react to what you did because of insulting your father, and that’s bad! And for not showing them some respect is something I can't tolerate!" "But the reason why I was becoming rude to that guy... isn't that valid, ma?" Even though she hasn't recovered properly, Audrey is already making me cry. "How I became rude to him... is all because of you! I'm just protecting you and myself because he's a bad person, ma! He hurt you before. For causing you violence before, how could I be able to see him becoming a good father to me?!” “Dear… how did you know?” I don't remember when I told her my experience before. That experience is so unpleasant to
Vengeance of the Battered CHAPTER 86
"You're still under the company's name, and even the music and the MV you're going to make, it's still going to fall with Aether. That's my concern, Tanya." "Miss G..." Her sudden laugh was random. "We will go through making them cute if they suddenly become tigers." “Aether's strength is its artists, and so its weakness. When their artists disappear, the company is also closed and they won't make any more money. And I know they don't want that." With the kind of behavior Tanya has, I admit that I get a headache from her being cunning. But still, it does something... essential. ***** I'm on my way home today to get some clothes that Audrey will need at the hospital. It looks like it will take up to a week for her to heal there, and my daughter who doesn't change her clothes won't agree. *phone rings* On the passenger's seat, almost next to the door, my cellphone was ringing. I can't reach it since I'm driving and my hands are short. When I checked the caller, it was Audrey calli

"About you... not being the real father of her baby." My jaw clenched with anger, and I also felt in my fists that I wanted to punch. "You lied to me, Henrix! Even the wedding... that's... that's actually not true?! You just let it be known that you're getting married?! Did... Why?!" "Kris... I'm not lying-" "Maui has confessed to me-" "You don't understand!" He tried everything he could to reach my body, and when he did, he didn't let go of my hands he was holding. "When did I tell you that I am the father of her baby? Did I take on Maui's daughter? Have I told you she's my responsibility?" "And the wedding, Kris... I didn't say I was going to marry her. Nothing like that, okay?" His lips touched my hand held by Hen. "It's not like... I'm lying to you. Because what happened, Kris... you believed with the things your eyes have seen and your mind has been thinking." "You thought I had a child with Maui for reasons I don't know. And you also think I'm planning to marry her, because
Vengeance of the Battered CHAPTER 88
The face of the man caught by the police is almost swollen due to the punches and blows he receives. He doesn't even want to talk to the police so... he is subjected to violence. "That's enough, chief," when my eyes couldn't take the torture anymore, I stopped the policeman from hitting the criminal with a stick. "If he really doesn't want to admit it, let him. Maybe we should just give him a few days to think about working with us." "Are you sure about this?" Henrix asked. "It's better to settle the case as soon as possible, Kris. It's only a matter of time before that man surrenders. Just one more hit." "Not anymore, Hen-" "I'm going to speak," we heard the criminal's voice. "Just send a dentist here. I think my jaw will be removed." "Yes, as long as you tell the truth first!" The police kicked the criminal's chair closer to us. "Come on!" "I... I'm one of those who was ordered by Ma'am Imelda to... uhh... burn down your house." So, Jessica is really telling me the truth when

"I am supposedly calling you for an emergency family meeting about what I heard from Echo, son," my mother said to me after recovering from the shock Henrix and I brought to her."But I don't have anything else to worry about, eh! If this man is responsible for you and is willing to marry you, I don't have a problem."All thanks to the Lord, Henrix and I moved ahead of Echo. Although that bastard has already informed my mother that I am pregnant, good thing we have settled everything down to the venue and props just to make Henrix's outdoor proposal to me look realistic.Mama also arrived on time in front of the house that I built-not for Henrix and I, if not for myself-and she was able to witness our show."You can count on me, Tita Miriam. I'm not like other men who run away from their responsibility to women," I heard the reply of Hen next to me. I tightened my grip on his arm."So, when do you plan to get married?" asked my stepdad. "We're not rushing you to get married that's why

I think about the welfare of the child in my womb, and at the same time, I shall not ignore the fact that for the sake of the baby, I will suffer.So, I have come to a very complicated decision."I understand if you find it difficult to give in to me, Hen. But I have no choice," I pleaded.I secretly met Henrix in a bar near his house in the middle of the night."The weight of the two options I have now. I can't afford losing the other one out of my hand."I tried to gamble. Instead of letting Echo get ahead of me in making a move to inform my parents about my situation, I should be the one ahead of him.Since Echo is known to be the son of my mother's college friend, Echo is close to my mother. And he has the access to ruin my life by telling lies anytime he wants.The only way to stop him is to step ahead of his plans.So I'm asking for Henrix's help that for the meantime, he acts as someone intimately in love

"A country we can trust if you wish to continue aborting the baby is in New Zealand," Doc Nerissa, an OB Gynecologist, premises. "Because in that country, they passed a bill wherein they treat abortion only a health issue not a crime. This is the safest route you can travel, Maui.”I didn't go home immediately after my round because I deliberately made Doc Nerissa here on the third floor of the hospital in his clinic. At this point, I think I really need some advice from the professionals.I'm afraid to make a decision on my own. As much as possible, I wanted to make a decision that I would not regret later."I've got to start packing my things, do you think, Doc?"I am still struggling to this day whether I will continue with my plan or not. So, I ended up heaving a sigh in front of her."Only if you're very sure about your plans. Are you sure about your plan, Maui?” She is asking me like she wants me to have a second thought."For most women, a baby is a blessing. Many of them still

This chapter intend to elaborate what happen to Maui after revealing her truth.---"How many times do I have to tell you that you can't just come here to my condo, Maui?! Have you forgotten the danger you might cause to me once people around here keep seeing us together?!”I just bowed my head and tightly held the strap of the shoulder bag I was carrying. Echo let me into her condo unit but we were only here behind the door. He said it's dangerous if he talks to me outside because he's afraid of the possibility I might be the cause of his image falling off the ground."You need to know something, that's why I'm here. It's not my intention to cause trouble, Echo." My voice is shaking.I was nervous to continue speaking because just from Echo's eyes, I could read that she couldn't accept what I had to say."Go straight to the point, Maui! Don't waste my time!”The nervousness I feel is increasing even more now that Echo's voice is raising me. He is desperate to get rid of me and I will
Vengeance of the Battered EPILOGUE
Gwen has already left me. And it took me years to forget her completely. I may have fallen for the same woman who has her looks too, but still there is something in Kris that makes me love her. Something that I didn't see in Gwen before - the fighting spirit that Kris has. "Exactly. Make sure you don't even think about what they will say. If they are not our family, their opinion doesn't count." I placed my hand on her head and kissed the top of her head. "I love you." The first 'I love you' I have told her... ever. "Until my last breath..." She looked up at me. "I will love you too." ***** LIAM After two years... "Here's your baby..." I handed to the mother the little baby that we had put in her diaper. "You're a mother of two now... Kris." She cried and took her baby from me. As a mother who is about to glimpse and tickle her child for the first time, I understand the story behind Kris's tears. She must be... really acting like this even before she gave birth to Audrey. "Tha

"Aether Entertainment is not complete without Miss Gwen–the one that served to be our mother. She honed our skills to make us shine and be talented, just by how you see us now. So, even just by the project we did for her we can show that with the things she is facing now, we wanted to show her she's not alone." That's a very sweet message I heard from Tanya. "And as we represent the other artists that's part of this project, we may show you the art of love." (Two voices, One song started to play) Along with the music video playing on the big screen, Tanya and Coreen sing along to the lyrics of one of the songs that have shaped our hearts. Right now, Kris is just staring at the huge screen while watching the music video... and it's absolutely pretty that Corrine's company makes use of some clips of Kris and me... which seem to be among the ones they took as they invade our privacy . While I was in the middle of enjoying the melody I was hearing, my heart suddenly dropped when I fel

"We're here to visit Miss Gwen. Where is her room, Doc-" I turned to face the woman who’s asking, and realized it was Tanya and Corrine. Both of them are wearing glasses. The only difference they had is Tanya is wearing a puff crisscross back dress in white color and she pairs her outfit with strap trendy flat sandals in beige color. While Corrine's outfit is always simple yet classy. She wears a solid cut out Mandarin collar dress and paired it with a black minimalist metal decor point toe slingback pumps. In other words, Tanya's outfit is how SHOPEE app users dress, while Corrine is for SHEIN's users. "I'm just reminding you that she doesn't remember or recognize anyone," I said to the two before they entered the room. And they retreated at the same time. "She has suffered a minor internal bleeding on her brain. As a complication, she lost her memory. But she has short-term memory loss." "There's still no definite time as to when she will regain her memory," I added. "So... sh

I thought before I went back to the hospital, I would pass by Lucile's funeral first. I can't just not show myself there and exhibit my greatest sympathy because of her family's loss. Even though she committed many sins in Kris and I's life, I still have at least a percent of gratitude for her for offering a friendship to Kris... even if it's not true. "My condolences." I don't know the old lady I met, but I guess she's one of the family members of the Soriano's. So, I proceeded to the long coffin and placed the flower I bought on top of it. Now... as I was able to see the dead body of Lucile, confirming she was really dead, I feel a mixture of sadness and joy. Maybe she has run out of time to change, but then... she deserves it. To me that she is in arrears, it's really funny that the demon's minion has picked her up. However, I was also sad because she will not be able to continue the only right thing she has done in her entire life--to save the lives of the stray dogs and cats.

She was walking back and forth tensely. "My concern is that they will know the location of this place. What if... they take all my pets from here? I can't accept that I took care of them and kept them alive only to die at their hands!" Oh shit. Because Liam and I didn't say anything to Hen that he should bring the police when he comes here, eh. "You go through there," she pointed to the back side of us and there was a door there. "Take that road out here. There's a car parked there and... get in it. It's more of a hassle if you take your car in front. The police will be here at any time." "Come with us-" "Not anymore, Liam." Lucile gave us her weak smile. "As long as I live, I will not let the police set foot on my territory. Until my last breath, I will protect them." The dogs and cats here are noisy and playing happily, they are very lucky to have Lucile. That even if I wanted to try to convince Lucile to just run away, I knew I would only fail. Because right at this moment, the
