Chapter 21: Irene's Past

  All she could think of is the fear, delight, and confusion from all the things that had happened today. She hasn't yet recovered from finally having the courage to accept her current life in Barangay Iniwan, and now the past is knocking at her door just before she could establish her future.    "Oh, Irene, where are you going?" Athena asked, seeing Irene dashing straight outside the hall.    Meanwhile, Alfred and Elmer who were outside the building were perplexed as she hadn't responded to their greeting, she just went past them as if they weren't there, "Did something wrong happen?" they both asked themselves.    Irene ran and immediately jumped on a trike on the way to the Capital, "Manong, hit it!" Instructing the driver to speed up which it

Chapter 22: Phase Two

  The cold air spreads across the whole room, while the deranged gentlemen in black tux are now fiercely discussing the precedent matter regarding the libelous articles circling around the internet regarding the family.    On the other hand, the mistresses of the house are casually sipping hot tea under the grandeur of the chandelier on the sofa situated in the same room.   All the commotion was happening as the chilling sound of "Pathétique Symphony" playing on the radio was intently obstructed with the breaking news.   While listening, a man in his 70's stroked his mildly shaved beard with his right hand, as his left held a glass of Savignon Blanc fizzing luxuriously as

Chapter 23: Publicity Stunt

  “Oh my god, Uncle Jon, there is another post about you!” Denzel said, laughing at the meme circulating on the internet that was making fun of his projects that was considered a failure.    This is supposed to be a lighthearted family reunion but with the issues happening within the family, this reunion was crazy from the start. They were now at the end of the month, and the articles had been circling for two weeks now.    They already had a rather chaotic meeting here a week ago, and this time the head of the house, Mariano Fernandez will be announcing their next step regarding the issue. Matty was the one tasked to present the idea to the family so she is dressed fairly better than the rest of the members.    Her mother was neutral in the situa

Chapter 24: The Connection We Never Had

  Today has never been warmer for Jaiden, as this day is particularly special.  They had been planning to go to this riverside resort since last week, and everything seems to be special since Melissa is coming with them.    Her eyes shone like a glossy pearl just washing on a shore of black pebbles with the warm rays of the sun shining down on it. She had currant red tinted lips that went well with the midnight black swimsuit she was wearing under her pink jacket.    As she walked in the riverside, the sunlight hit her fair skin which emphasizes the curves of her body.    To be honest, Jaiden finds her attractive despite everyone saying she is too plain and boring. In fact he finds himself always laughing when he is with her, something most g

Chapter 25: The Black Contract

  Thadeus starts driving suspiciously to work after a warm dinner on a foggy but oddly cold sky. He stopped on a sidewalk and cautiously looked to his right, as he tried to discern any hostile eyes watching him.    He decides to start his engine after ensuring that there is no presence lurking nearby. The nightly breeze was silent and still as he parked his car near an abandoned power plant building, the surrounding area was zombified as the rotting trees were still teeming with strange flowers, as trace amounts of radon gas still polluting the air around the building. The radiation makes the water glow but it’s not neon green but a rusty brown gloop.    Just as he exited his car, Martha also went out of the car with him, holding a very suspicious briefcase. Thadeus assisted his wife with an umbrella as the rai

Chapter 26: Capital City 2.0

  "Irene!" Athena jumped screaming at the busy Irene, "Athena…. You're heavy," Irene bleated while trying to remain standing from all the weight Athena's body was imposing at her.    "What do you think, I did great right!" Athena asked as she let go of Irene.   Irene, on the other hand, despite being annoyed, answered her, "Yeah… you did great…"    "Right? Right!" Athena said enthusiastically.   "Anyway, why are you so excited, did something happen?" Irene asked since normally Athena was quite composed and sophisticated.    Then her face brightened, implying that something good did happen. "Well, you see… Joseph and I are already

Chapter 27: Project Bonanza

  "Be careful of that! Wait, put it on the left… there, eh, it's kinda slanted, Let's see, I think it should be…. Uhm, here!" Athena instructed.   The group of guys was kind of frustrated as Athena seems to not make up her mind, "Tina, why don't you first make up your mind then, they could just put it in place at the moment?" I said as I'm also kinda tired looking at those guys carrying the medical equipment for quite a while now.    "Ah, you're right… I do not know but I cannot focus these days, ah I wish Irene was here and the situation must have been a lot smoother. By the way, Melissa… Do you want to take a rest first? I'll wrap this up and I'll follow you ahead," Athena replied.    "That's fine..  I'm not yet tired anyway," I said, "But with

Chapter 28: The She Before She

  Irene believes that we all have a beautiful place in our mind. In the past whenever someone asked her which place she considered very important she could not think of anything, perhaps because everything had a bad memory associated with it.    Her life was tragic-fated after all.    But now, everything is different, right now she has a wonderful place that made her happy a lot of times.  Despite this place being special to her, she also thinks that she is not the only person who thinks that this place is special. Everyone living here, at some point thought that they are lucky they are able to live here.    To be honest, life here is not particularly perfect, there are also flawed parts to it that will stick to you if you live here long enou

Chapter 29: The Consequences

  "Who did this!" Mariano was definitely angry, hearing the sudden news about Thadeus and Martha's connection to the black market. They even gathered some footage as well as copies of contracts that proves that a transaction indeed happened.    The room was humid yet cold, it is evident the members of the family are uncomfortable with the situation. Even Erwin, who knows exactly what is happening, can also feel their faces being tense.    Thadeus swallowed his dried saliva, awaiting the verdict of his father. It was only a matter of time before the police came knocking at their door. He was shaking as if he realized how bad his situation was.    His father might not hesitate to kill him this time.

Chapter 30: Red String Of Fate

  If you ask me to think of Capital City what comes to mind will likely be, a diverse location with both ocean and forest and easily identifiable skyscrapers and industrial buildings, that is filled with people with different statuses in life.   I do believe that this peculiar trait resonates with a city’s identity, since the city's framework is developed around these structures which can certainly create their own impression on those who see it.    Ordinarily, many people can easily name Capital City as one of the most likely places to live the rest of your life in, since it has both necessary components of nature and infrastructure that will fit any lifestyle, however what truly makes this city a great choice is those who inhabit it.     Instead
