Fifteen minutes of arguing…Maria and Kayla were very lost in the word-to-word fight which had been going on for about fifteen minutes now, and with Jerry trying to separate them, nothing stopped the argument. It’s a miracle no one was trying to shoot another or knock themselves out.“QUIET!!!!!!!!!!!” Maria soon shouts angrily after having enough of the quarrel digested in her system. Everyone instantly went silent and Jerry stares at her in wonder. “We have been in this DAMN office for fifteen minutes and neither of you is ready to SHUT UP! I am sick of listening to meaningless screaming and quarrel! If you all can’t settle your differences like normal people, at least be mature to do it!” Maria expresses.“You know I didn’t want them here but you let them stay.” Rex points out to Maria.“Son, why are you referring to us as strangers?” Marcelo frowns at Rex.“You are been strangers since you and mom left!.” Rex snaps angrily.“Rex!- I’m sorry Sir Angelo, Rex is a little… confused an
November 28th two days to thanksgiving…Day two after the whole drama…Everything was back like in the old times, no more fights and yelling. Kayla had been arrested for conspiracy with a criminal and will stand trail when Susanna is ready to face court. According to Jason and his lawyer, the hearing will hold in a few days if Cherry is well enough to testify against Susanna.Rex and Maria spent more time in the new penthouse, with Rex working his ass off to make up for the lost time from work, and trying to spend some quality time with his daughters. All along, Maria had to make regularly visits to care for the babies because Rex had little trust with his staff alone with the girls. He comes into the nursery where Maria was just changing baby two diaper.“Hey…” She drawled.“I checked the kitchen but you weren’t there.” Rex told her.“Yes, I have to stay with them constantly because they are having constant diarrhea.” She reports in a stern voice.“What?” Rex moves to the babies quic
~~~~~~Thanksgiving day…Rex, Maria, Gerald and the babies all went to spent thanksgiving at the hospital with Cherry. Even though she was still in coma and unable to communicate they didn’t want to leave her side, but Rex to be precise made everyone stay and celebrate the occasion with his sleeping girlfriend.“Hey baby, I know you can hear me in there. It’s thanksgiving and guess who I brought along!… It’s Mia, Gerald and Jerry.” He points at the trio stand at the foot of the bed.“Hey Cherry…I hope you miss us because we missed you.” Maria touches her foot lightly then shifts the baby in her arms.“Really, I wanted this day to be for us… so we can celebrate thanksgiving together but…” He drawls and takes her right hand. “Just get well for us, so we can finally be happy.”“She will…” Mia promised.They all stayed longer in the ward, talking and playing with the babies until evening. When it got late Jerry excused himself and Gerald announced his parting but offered to take Maria hom
The day of the hearing…“December twentieth, we hold the case of kidnapping, attempted murder, blackmail, compromise, possession of illegal arms, and tampering with private property, charged in the name of Miss Susanna Tyler. Please may the accused stand on the witness stand.”A clerk reads her file as proposed by the court then sits back on her chair.“The hearing had been done and all the witness testimonies have been recorded… Miss Tyler…” The judge began.“Yes?” Susanna responds with a stiff attitude.“Do you agree with all that have been said in this court against you?” The judge asks.“I do know I am innocent and one day I will prove it!” She spoke defiantly.“Well, Miss Tyler, all the evidences points to you as the main suspect for all the crimes, and there are several witnesses to back up the evidences. Are you saying all these is a hoax to frame you?” The judge asked but Susanna refuses to answer. “For the last time Miss Tyler, do you plead innocent to all the accusation?”Su

Your choice on how it starts or how it will end matters the most. Welcome to the new life... ~~~~~~ Cherry rolled on her small torn bed that had pieces of crumbled biscuits scattered over the old sheets she used almost every day. She woke up with a bright smile on her slightly pale face that nearly reached her eyes, Cherry sighed in contentment as the sun peeking through the curtains warmed her skin. She rose with the same smile on her lips that seems to lit up the entire room and made a few stretches with her arms.
"You're hired." The words kept ringing joy and happiness into Cherry's heart. As she exited the building her head could not accept the news, it felt too good to be true. A few moments before she thought they were joking but the handsome guy did confirm it. Cherry decided today was the day she bought herself a treat, a real expensive treat to celebrate. She went to a public food cart and got herself a plate of fried chicken with noodles and took them home to celebrate her new job with her dog. She had been trying so hard to hide the excitement bubbling inside but it was hard containing it. As she walked home she unconsciously let out a loud squeal and got weird looks from people who were passing. Slightly embarrassed by her manners Cherry hid her face with her scarf and walked faster, the news was so Intriguing she knew Christmas is going to be awwwwesome!.
Just like every other day Cherry woke up late again. Once she noticed the time she became a living flash, taking a very speedy bath, partially washing half of her hair. Today was Wednesday and Cherry decide a green pea dress will do since it was still summer and her apartment barely get cold. Before leaving she gave dolly the last piece of her chicken from last night and lock the door quietly to avoid been disturbed by her pet. When she was far enough Cherry put on her old converse and walked down the stairs heading for the bus stop. And to her luck, the bus stop was filled with more people than she expected ‘Great just one reason to be late than I am, already’ She huffs and walked forward hoping to see a cab. Halting a cab was like a fortune to Cherry, but there was no other option left for her to choose, and getting a big salary from her new job could cover all her expenses for a month. The cab fare was higher than the money in her purse. Cherry looked
