121: i wouldn't move an inch if I were you

Elena“Malvin, is every set at our office?” I asked Malvin, who nodded a few times before responding.“Yes, boss. Everything is ready. The team has been on standby, but I told them we wouldn’t be able to meet them today. We’ll see them tomorrow.” “Okay, that’s fine. We should meet the people at the office first, before the team from SM Group arrives. I wouldn’t want any surprises from them.” I gave Malvin a few more instructions as we dragged our bags toward the entrance of the airport. It took a lot of convincing to get Malvin to come here with me. He truly sent his resignation letter to the Human Resources department after confirming that the reason why I flared up was nothing but a misunderstanding. There was nothing else I could say but to apologize to my assistant and truly mean it. He wasn’t even angry with me, but only felt that if I didn’t trust him after how long we’ve worked together, there wouldn’t be the need for us to work together anymore. Malvin reminded me that not

122: Reunion

ElenaOh my goodness! How could this be her? “Nancy, when did your arms get so strong? I must admit, your strength is quite remarkable.” I wriggled my way out of her grasp and massaged my neck dramatically. I couldn’t believe that the person who nearly caused me a heart attack right now was none other than my very own good friend, Nancy Price.“Well, you are not the only one to confirm that. Even my new boyfriend said the same thing. Do you want to meet him?” What the heck! Nancy had a new boyfriend so soon? Well, I don’t think I should be too surprised. The last time we met was more than three years ago. “Nancy, how many boyfriends have you had since the last time I met you?” I just couldn’t help myself from asking, because I remembered her talking about a new love of her life who was supposed to be the last boyfriend. She even said she might just get married soon. That was two years ago.No, that’s not it, the last time we spoke, Nancy said she found herself a royal in Europe. All

123: Dig in

Elena Nancy’s excited chattering filled the drive from the airport to the restaurant, as she didn’t allow a moment of peace. She asked one question or the other, ensuring that I said something at every point, even when I tried to dodge some questions.“So, Elena, what’s the deal between you and David Spencer? Are you seeing him now?”“Tell me, Malvin, how have you been performing lately? Have you finally proposed to a girl? Perhaps she turned you down, no? You kinda look depressed.”“How has it been in Saint City, Elena? You won’t understand how I longed to complete my tasks and join you there. Alas… Sigh!”“Now that you guys are here, there’s a pub downtown. How about we head there over the weekend?”“There’s a karaoke bar at…“ I couldn’t tell why my friend sounded like telling me about her experiences in Europe would make me disappear to the same place in the next instant. She tried everything to avoid the Europe topic.“Tell me about the royal, Nancy. I thought you were off to be

124: Spill

Elena I really enjoyed my time at the restaurant, and I knew I would definitely be back here later. “Since we already agreed that you’d spend the night at my place, why don’t we just head home at once? We have a lot of catching up to do.” I just couldn’t say no to Nancy anymore. For her to insist that I spent the night at her place, I was certain she had something she wanted to share without involving Malvin. We had a lot to catch up on, indeed. I bet none of us would get a wink of sleep tonight. “Okay, let’s go.” Just like that, Malvin was shooed like a fly, and he had no other choice than to take all our bags and head to our house in a cab. “You finally got your dream couch, huh? It’s big enough to accommodate two people, just like you envisioned.” That was my first remark when I entered her living room. Nancy only smiled at me as if she was basking in my admiration of her couch, when in actual sense, I knew she was glad to have marked yet another item off her wish list. Na

125: Breaking news

Elena Silence! Loud silence!That was the only thing that filled the sitting room as if we both wanted to hide from something. However, it was the tales from my past that shocked Nancy and I into silence. Even I couldn’t tell how I survived everything that life threw at me. I was only glad that I survived, and here I was-telling my story as if it was a tale from a movie. I bet it would have been a blockbuster movie if my story ever got to be adapted into a film.All along, Nancy couldn’t stop her tears from falling. She kept opening and closing her mouth without anything coming out. I watched her expression change from shock to anger, terror to frustration, then to awe, and finally, admiration. “You mean you went through all these but never said a thing to me? Elena, are we still friends in your eyes?” Nancy’s tears kept flowing as she continued her rants in frustration. I had no response for her words, since I had no particular reason for not telling her about everything I went

126: The Simpsons must bleed

DarcyI was kept in this room ever since I was thoroughly wasted and left here. I wasn’t allowed to leave this place; hence, I could only endure the prison I got myself into. Despite all the hardships I had to endure, I was well fed. It felt like I was being fattened for slaughter. Looking around, the whole place seemed too quiet for my liking. It was as if everyone locked me in here and left to God knows where. “Should I try to escape? Maybe no one would even know I left, right?” I finally tried to get out of bed, feeling my lower body ache terribly. It was as if I was jammed by a trailer, causing my legs to feel so heavy.I fumbled with the window for a while, but it was locked. I couldn’t spot anywhere I could open it.“Fuck! I can’t even move without feeling pain. How am I supposed to escape if the place is like this?” I know I looked battered, and no one would see me like this without calling me a slut. The bastard left tons of hickeys on my body, and I could tell he enjoyed ever

127: I’m toast

Valerie “Sir, I just arrived in Lockwood. Yes sir.” I had to report to my superior that I landed safely. If I had my way, I wouldn’t call him at all, but I would have had a lot to explain. I knew my boss didn’t feel happy about granting me this leave, but he had nothing else to do about it. I’ve earned this. I have worked for so many years without asking for a single day off. I didn’t even have the chance to meet my family for a long time. Now that something this massive happened, I couldn’t just remain there without coming back. From the way my boss forced himself to sign my request, to how he tried to cut my stay here shorter, even requesting I alert him to my arrival in Lockwood, I knew he wouldn’t have granted me this long leave if he had the chance. Alas, I even promised to avail myself whenever they needed my services, even though I was on leave. “Thank you for approving my long leave, boss. I will be going now.” It took all the strong will I developed over the years to

128: Troubled

Ronan“Elena… Elena… Elena… Please, Elena. Don’t leave, Elena. I’m sorry. I’m sorry, I couldn’t protect you. Please… Don’t go…” Huh! I woke up with a start, unable to find my bearings. However, I could feel the soft bed beneath me.There were beeping sounds in the room, coupled with a shooting pain at the back of my palm. I couldn’t tell how exactly I got here, but after a while of adjusting my eyes, I finally found my answer. “The heck! How did I get here?” I am in a hospital. Who brought me here? The last I remember, I was in my house with Elena’s test result in my hand.“Yes, Elena.” I had her test result with me. Where was it? Could everything that happened be nothing but a dream? No. I could remember everything vividly. There was no mistaking it. I really saw that result and passed out after Z confirmed the diagnosis. Elena truly developed stage three brain tumor, and they gave her only ten months to live.“Elena,” I couldn’t get this nagging feeling off my chest. I had to f

129: Wishful thinking

Valerie“Mom, I’m in front of the elevator. Tell me which floor I can find him.” I arrived at the Glenn Family Hospital, wondering how long it was since I last came here. It’s really been a while. I couldn’t get it off my mind that my laptop was in someone’s car, and I didn’t have any way of reaching him either. All I had to do was see my brother first. After everything, I would find my bag.Why hasn’t mom responded to me? “Hello, mom,” “Hello,” Mom finally responded, but I didn’t like how she responded. She sounded as though something bad had happened, and even though she scared me a lot, I took a few breaths to calm my raging heart. I couldn’t allow myself to over react.“Mom, what is it? Why do you sound like that, and why does the background seem so chaotic?” I didn’t realize how, but my voice began to tremble as I listened to the commotion in the background. “Mom, please talk to me. Which floor are you on? Just…”I wanted to be there and see things for myself. My brother wasn’t

130: Tell him about Elena

Ronan“Uncle Edmond, I am so sorry for everything I have done to wrong you all these years. Please don’t hold it against me, I beg of you. I have treated your precious daughter like she meant nothing to me. Elena was everywhere with me, and she meant the world to me, but I could only discover how much I loved her after seeing the damning diagnosis. I should have been there for her, but I wasn’t.” I remained kneeling at Uncle Edmond’s bed, wondering if there was a way to make him wake up right now, I would have done that already. Maybe that would attract Elena’s attention wherever she was.Reaching for Uncle Edmond’s hand, I squeezed it a little tighter and wished with everything in me that he could respond to my touch. Alas, it was only my wishful thinking.“Uncle Edmond, you did a favor for my family that we could never pay back. You gave your life to protect my father, but all I gave your daughter as gratitude was scorn and insults. I never treated Elena better than a gold digger w
