I woke up in the familiar darkness. My soft bed and warm blanket greeted my skin.I immediately got up and reached for the lamp shade on the bedside table. When that lit up, I rolled my eyes in my room. I heard nothing. I feel too quiet and heavy.When I saw my cellphone on the bed, I saw the time. 8:16 pm. I suddenly remembered daddy so I quickly got out of bed and left the room.It was there that I was disturbed by the noise. From outside I could hear oncoming vehicles, people shouting, and cameras clicking. My forehead furrowed and I immediately panicked.I ran towards daddy’s room which was closed. There are already uniformed nurses and some are already scrubbing. There are apparatus outside and they keep you clean. Why are they here?Where is older brother Sage? When I saw a familiar face, I immediately approached him."I want to go inside." I told Kyo.He turned to me, he was wearing casual clothes and he was taller than me. "You're already inside the house, eh." He answered phi
"That idiot! There's a fiancé, don't even say!" Lea exclaimed as we entered my room.Gavin was already in his room, and older brother Sage didn't want them to be put aside so he could sleep in his own room. He said he couldn't be bothered so he was here first."Is he going to come back here? I need to interview him! He has a lot to tell me!" She added.I just quietly averted my gaze whenever he faced me. I feel too heavy to speak. I do not know what to do. My throat chokes as I hold back the sob. If it weren't for Lea here I might have cried earlier."Sadie?" SHe called so I turned to her. "I'm asking if he'll come back here? Isn't he supposed to sleep here?" He asked again and fell to sit on my bed. She reached for a pillow and placed it on her thigh."I do not know." I answered sparingly.He just went home. "Hmp, anyway, if his fiancé was there he probably wouldn't come back here. He needs to be with his girl, anyway. Oh! And did you see her piercings? I can't believe it! Luke reall
One week after that happened, Luke has been constantly checking on me. She brings ointments for my shoulders, and she helps me clean and apply then. My family still doesn't know I have a tattoo, because I never wear a sleeveless top again.I don't know, but even though Luke is recovering, I won't be able to regain the confidence I felt last week. It took me a while to prepare and gather the courage I needed to wear such a dress. Then it was just so quickly crushed.I love Luke. I'm sure there. I'm just looking for time to tell older brother Sage. I'm afraid he'll think I'm cheating because we all know he's getting married.Luke says he is already working his way, he will do everything to prevent the marriage from continuing. I believe he doesn't love Ray, because I found out he was the one he was hiding before. He always leaves Palawan or sleeps with his friends just to avoid Ray.And he also confessed to me that night that she's the reason why he hates girls with piercings. I let him
At the behest of brother Loren, our Mansion was not opened for those who wished to attend to be careful. We have tripled the number of body guards and security has been tightened throughout the village.The news broke that daddy had been shot. Fear gripped La Cuevas, and her acquaintances and friends delivered a message. He also said that there was a recollection of daddy in his company. Maybe next year, Leah will be the one to walk. So far all responsibilities have been passed on to brother Loren and sister Celine.The whole mansion was quiet on the day of dad's funeral. Mother Ida's body is also here. I sent his body home for it to fall asleep. I wish I could always go to them both daddy whenever I want.Wearing the black pantsuit, I walked towards daddy’s coffin. I hold the red rose that will be thrown into the pit where he will be buried. I don't think so. My hands trembled as I sobbed softly. I couldn’t believe he was lying inside that white coffin. I can't believe he's really go
I woke up in my own room. It was bright in the room not like I was used to. The curtain was open, and so was the light. I noticed the oxygen pump sitting on the bedside table. I frowned and tried to remember what had happened before I fainted.When I remembered to admit that Luke and I had a relationship, I immediately closed my eyes. My head still hurts and my body is broken. Now I felt all the tired, awake, and hungry of the past few days as if I was being punished. I feel like I struggled. I'm very tired.With the extra weight of my eyelids, I was able to close my eyes again and fall asleep. I only woke up when I felt my stomach growl. I rubbed my eyes still painfully. There I noticed that my skin was warm. I tried to rub my neck and forehead to make sure I was really sick. I gasped when I realized I had a fever.Even though I can’t see myself my eyes are definitely swollen because they are heavy. I struggled to stand up and noticed the water bottle on the bedside table. I picked i
"Call me if you need anything. I'll send someone there, please come back when you're completely fine."I broke away from older brother Loren's hug and nodded. I can no longer feel anything. I can't even cry anymore. I also didn’t complain when I found out he was driving Luke to La Cuevas heights. That’s the name of the villa they live in Luke. Because of the rudeness of Ray's reception of us the other night, Aunt Celine immediately issued a notice to dismiss them. After all, Eleanor has the largest shares and investments of all the high end villas here in La Cuevas.Our departure was supposed to be at the end of the month, but in just two days, we were at the airport and flying to Australia."I will miss you .." Lea couldn't hide her sobs. He quickly hugged me. "Please take care of your self .. don't think about him na, he's not worth it!" She cried on my shoulder.I did not answer. I'm too tired. I don’t even feel anything other than tired. It is true that when your emotions are exha
"Are you okay?"I parted my lips open to answer Lea beside me, but my eyes were fixed to Luke who's walking away from the stage now. I'm supposed to respond, but couldn't process the right words. He's holding his guitar as he walked quickly to the backstage as if he's running out of time."Gosh! Will that be released ?!""OMG SHE'S SOLO !!!""Is it Sage ?!""Nice !! I didn't quite understand but nice!""Noise, pota!"The crowed was still loud, they were screaming and talking about the new song he just played. They were praising his voice, guitar skills, emotions and of course, visual.I gulped and inhaled deeply before turning to Lea who's now looking at me with worried eyes. I smiled and gave her a reassuring look."Excuse me, I think I need to go to the rest room." I said and glanced at Gavin who's watching us beside his girlfriend."I can come with you, so you don't get lost—"I held her shoulder and shook my head, "It's fine, really. I'm also gonna make some calls." I will excuse
Beat.My heart was pounding non -stop as I watched his chest. My eyes trembled as I struggled to study every corner of his scar-like tattoo here. I don't care if he would think I'm weird or what, but I am certain that he made this look like mine-- no, he copied my scar!Why? why would a person with an already perfect skin want to ruin himself? What is so special about my scar that he imitated it ?! is he mocking me? is this his way of reminding me about my past? so that when I come back here I won't forget what happened to me before? If so, he is very insignificant!When he noticed that I was staring at his chest for a few seconds, he woke up and covered his tattoo with one of his hands. I looked up at him and frowned when I met his eyes that seemed caught.He still held out one hand to me to offer the towel. I blew a sarcastic breath before no one looked as I pulled on my cardigan and there wiped my wet hand."No, thanks. I got myself." I uttered.He once blinked and silently watched
