All Chapters of Blank Canvas: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I slaped my face to confirm that it's just a nightmare. Mom, Dad, i miss you. So, so much. I can't help but cry. Tears are rolling down my cheecks non-stop. I'm sweating so bad. It hurts. It still hurts even if so many years have already passed. I'm just 8 years old back then. I'm 20 now. Already 13 years have passed. But who can get over that kind of thing? You parents being killed in front of you? Frick! I can still remember their position. My mom was hugging my dad until her last breath. Then she looked at me. Eyes saying goodbye. I cried so hard. The door opened then it swallowed Elocin. Maybe she heard my cries. "Hey, did you have a nightmare again?" she said as she sit beside me, rubbing my back. I see concern in her face. She's trying to stop me from crying. But the comfort is still not enough. But it did make me feel better a little. I cried on her shoulders. She hugged me tight, letting me. I cried so hard, i also hugged her tighter,

He smiled evilly at me. Then he stood up. Looks like he’s enjoying the view that I’m panicking. I’M SO NERVOUS! GET ME OUT OF HERE AHHHHHH! “As I was saying,” he looked away trying to hide a smile, obviously, “we don’t have to do the wedding ceremony. We don’t have to perform the veil. We just have to sign the documents, the certificate of marriage, and we have to change your surname to mine. You’ll be Mrs. Villamorannas in an instant. Just like that. Also, send me your bank account so that I can transfer money to you. We also have to shop for your clothes. You’ll also move in with me. You’ll be with me in all events, you’re gonna introduce yourself as my woman, as my wife. We need to act as if we are inlove or what soever that couples do.” My jaw dropped at his straight statement. He didn’t even stutter! I just stayed like that for a few seconds before I closed my mouth. I still need some time to process and let these things sink in my mind! “Does that mean

Elexier’s POV: “I want you to fix this Elexier. I don’t want any trouble here. Make sure it’s all alright in a week. If not, I bet you already know what will happen to you.” his voice is serious although it's not loud, you can hear the power and emphasis. *Phone beeps* He ended the call as soon as he spit those words. I furiously put my phone back to my pocket and took a deep breath. I placed my hand on my forehead trying to calm down and think properly. I am driving to my company and just stopped to answer the call. Living in this world coming from this kind of family is exhausting. But I can't do anything. This is the life I have. I have to life the rest of my life with them. Or do I? I took a deep breath again and the engine of my car roared to life when I finally started it again. There is a problem in the plane where our drugs are kept. Not ours, actually. His, my Dad. I don’t want to do this. I didn’t want to. I have never want to. I didn’t imag

Elexier’s POV I may not show it, but damn I’m so embarrassed that she have read those files! Frick! Next time I won’t leave such things on my desk! Frick! At the elevator, good thing she remained silent and did not tease me about what she saw. In her personality, if I’m a close friend of her, I know she’ll tease me. And I can say, she has a good attitude. I have a camera on my office. I can clearly see her and hear her. I heard what she and her friend talk about in the phone. I know that I’m violating her privacy, but I can’t help but to admit that she’s lively and funny. She also get’s shy easily. Earlier, I locked her in between my arms while I’m leaning on the bookshelves. Funny and I guess, cute? I don’t know. All I know is she blushed. I can see how hot her cheeks are that time. It’s a new thing to me. I never made Athena’s cheeks blush before. I didn’t even know if I’ve already made her hearth flutter. It’s just that they are so different. Athena is intimidatin

Elexier’s POV   It makes me think, should I still let my family do this stuff? I know I’m not a good person all in all, but I am also not that bad to let all this continue to run and grow. I don’t want to let my family down. I don’t want them to be imprisoned. But I also don’t want what they are doing. I don’t know what to do damn. I’m educated. I know the harmful effects of drugs to a person. And it also ruins their life. Many people are being sent to jail, or worse, being killed just because of that. Dad loves to see people dying. He kills people. I still remember how he killed a family in the park. In front of me. A Husband and his wife, and their 5 year-old daughter. “Uhm Elexier, well, uhh sorry. I shouldn’t have made us go in there. I didn’tknow it was gonna happen.” Amira suddenly spoke in the middle the debate on my head. I was shocked for a bit beacuse why is she saying sorry, and I am also not used to a girl apologizing to me. “
