I Saw You CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: I Saw You Die
“Isn’t that Shenzhen Nongke orchids?” “That’s two hundred thousand dollars per piece!” “D*mn so lucky!” “Prayer reveal!” “How to be Serra?” I hit Grip’s side using my elbow to get his attention. “This is expensive. You should have given it to me in cash!” I moped. This was so impractical! I would have been rich and be able to leave this place. I may sell this but I couldn’t. It came from Grip and the sentimental value is higher than its price. “Don’t worry. I didn’t pay for it but I picked it and chose every flower myself. I chose the best because that is what you deserve.” He proudly presented that made me frown more. “So you stole these?” I lowered my voice. I don’t want everyone to know it was stolen. It would bring too much humiliation. I felt awful. I got butterflies in my stomach over stolen flowers geez! “They are not stolen. Someone I knew gave them to me...” He paused as if he was reminiscing. “Was forced to gave to me rather,” he muddled really good that I didn’t u
I Saw You CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: We’ll Get There
“When I held his hand I saw his evil deeds instead of his death,” I told him what I saw, every single detail. “Calm down, Serra. Maybe it was what the heavens want you to see.” He held my shoulder and pulled me into a hug. “Does the heavens want me to stay awake all night my entire life?” I said annoyed. Who could sleep seeing that? Feeling that? I was him for god*mn seconds and of all seconds of his life, it was that seconds! I felt like it was me who raped that poor young student. I felt dirty. “Serra, look.” Grip cupped my face and directed my sight to his hypnotizing brown eyes. “It wasn’t you. Okay?” He caressed my cheeks, kissed my head, and put our foreheads against each other. After spending some moments in the garden we decided to go back to the dorm and I decided to sleep in his room. I could bear sleeping beside him with his roommates but he got none. I guess it was a bad choice. Gugu didn’t come along since she was with Amara tonight. Lulu accompanied Kate to her phot
I Saw You CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: I Will Come Running
I woke up with the space beside me empty. I rubbed my eyes with the back of my hands. I yawned and got up from bed. I went to the kitchen but no one was there. “Grip?” I called but no one answered. Maybe he went out. I head to the door and went out of his unit. I was frozen to my spot as everyone in the huge hallway turned in my direction. They were all wearing black cloaks and holding a scythe. They are not students. I are not in our dorm! “D*mn, Serra!” Grip wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me inside. I stared at him blankly. It took me time to process what the hell was going on. “Where are we?” At last, I was able to untangle my tongue. “Reaper’s den.” He pulled me with him to the kitchen. He pulled a chair for me to sit. “Is it alright to bring me here? Won’t they reap me? Won’t they report you to the heavens?” I nervously asked. “If it’s prohibited then I shouldn’t have brought you here,” he said while making two cups of coffee. “They won’t reap you unless it’s
I Saw You CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: Defective Items
“I just can’t let you die, Jann.” I blocked his way using my body. He didn’t say a word and just dodged me. I ran after him and blocked his way again. He ruffled his hair in annoyance. “Until when are you going to do this?” “I won’t stop until I convince you.” I raised my chin at him to show my determination. “Fine do what you want!” At last, he gave up. Being annoying has an advantage sometimes. We stopped in front of his office. He reached the knob and wrapped his hand around it. I couldn’t take my eyes off his hand. Especially the red stains. He swiftly opened the door and hid his hand behind him. I think he noticed me. I pushed him aside and went in first but he pulled me out using my shirt. “Where are you going?” He raised a brow at me. “Inside?” I responded uncertain and glanced at his hand again. “It’s just you and me inside, Miss Hilario. Isn’t it inappropriate for a grown-up lady and a grown-up man to stay alone inside a room?” he stated nonchalantly and crossed his ar
I Saw You CHAPTER NINETEEN: Jann Gregson
JANNSecond? I am labeled as Silverio’s genius and I ranked second? This can’t be! I am the best! I am the smartest!My phone rang and mom’s name flashed on the screen. I guess she knew already. She never calls unless there is a problem with my rank or scores or to remind me to rank first. I just watched it and waited until the screen turned black but after a few seconds the screen lit again. A message from mom appeared in my notification and it contained nothing but my uppercased name. Her indication that she’s d*mn serious and mad right now. When my phone rang again I immediately answered her call.“Second? Just second?” Her high-pitched complaints greeted and hurt my ears. I inclined my head away to the side inching myself. “The genius placed second? How can a genius place second? Better do something about it, Jann Gregson,” she continued in a threatening way.“It’s just the midterms, mom. I’m sure I’m still the top one this semester,” I contended.“I don’t care! I want you first ev
I Saw You CHAPTER NINETEEN: Die!
I got up from bed and tugged my hair. I couldn’t sleep well. Their smiles and insults haunted me even in my sleep. I turned on the lamp on my bedside table and I was welcomed by hundreds of certificates hanging on the wall, my certificates. I looked at them one by one reminiscing the bitter-sweet memories of every certificate. The sweet part is having them and the bitter part is mom. They said all mothers in the world are beautiful and I agree with that. My mother is beautiful but just on the outside. She always bragged my achievements to all her amegas but never told me she was proud of me. She just wanted to take all the credit for herself. She never really appreciated me and she doesn’t have to because according to her I owe my life to her because without her I won’t exist in this world as if I asked for it. She is my mom but was never a mother to me. I would rather die than have him as my mom. All my life I’ve always dreamed of telling her I don’t owe her anything since I didn’
I Saw You CHAPTER NINETEEN: To Feel Love
I pulled out the knife and took quick steps backward. My eyes followed the gushing blood from his chest down to his waist. He was losing too much blood but he was just standing there looking at me coldly. Trembling hands, chattering teeth, pounding heart, and breathing roughly. All signs of fear. I felt them all. The fear he caused me was greater than my fear of dying. I understood his lethal silence. I dropped the knife and left him running. I wiped my hands covered by his blood using my handkerchief. I head to my office. My heart ran wild when Hilario showed up in front of me. “I just can’t let you die, Jann.” She blocked my way. I ignored her and continued walking my way. Latching on you would bring my death earlier, Hilario. I felt her run after me and blocked my way again. I ruffled my hair in annoyance. “Until when are you going to do this?” “I won’t stop until I convince you.” She raised her chin. She’s being stubborn. I like the old Hilario. She was once silent on her ow
I Saw You CHAPTER TWENTY: Be His Strength
SERRAI ran and ran as fast as I could. My vision was getting blurry and I couldn’t clearly see a thing. I bumped into someone. I didn’t bother to apologize and just ran. I reached our usual spot and I saw him sitting on the lonely bench.“Grip!” I cried out running.He averted his head in my direction and he smiled the moment he saw me. I stopped in front of him and my heart sank seeing the situation he was in.“Grip...” I reached his face with my trembling hands. His skin was a bit cold.His chest was constantly bleeding. His plain white shirt was dyed deep red because of his blood.“What should I do? What should I do?” My voice cracked and I barely formed the words due to frequent stuttering.I could no longer hold the heartbreak. I clutched on the bench to prevent myself from collapsing. The pain I felt seeing him suffer poured out in a flood of uncontrollable tears.“I-I’ll take you to the hospital.” I brought out my phone to call the emergency hotline but he stopped my hand.“I’l
