Alejandro Pov...Where is Samantha? I need to talk to her so I can tell her what happened at Georgia's hearing. Rex needs him right now, but when she is needed, she disappears. One more thing, I can't reach Rex. Where did he go at this hour, nowhere to find him? These two make me grow older faster!That's right, maybe he's at the cemetery again now that he has found out who killed Coleen. My suspicion was right, he is here now. He is always like this when he is hurt and has a problem. If the tomb could talk, they would have given him answers, but hell no!I didn't get out of my car and wait for him to finish whatever he was up to. I got out of my car when I saw him coming back to his car."Rex!" I called him right away."Alejandro?" He blurted surprised to see me."I've been calling you for a while now, but you're not answering. This is the only place I know where you're going to kill time besides your office and your house." I replied weakly."Sorry man." He answered sadly."For what
Samantha Pov...When we arrived in the Philippines, I asked him to send me home for a quick visit. I want to see my parents before going back to Hawaii again. I finally decided to live abroad rather than to live here. This place isn't my comfort place to stay.The longer I stay here, my heart will be exhausted, unable to breathe and comprehend everything. Maybe leaving this place again will alleviate the emotional state I am in. I might also forget everything that happened, though I still can't anticipate any inevitable complications of all my decisions.Thanks to Libya for always supporting me and visiting me often in Hawaii. I also entrusted her with looking after my business in New York and Australia. Luigi has also been busy since expanding his European cuisine in Australia. Now he wants to open a Filipino cuisine with a twist in Hawaii. A lot of Filipinos live in Hawaii, I plan to collaborate with him."Samantha." He called me."Hmm! Are we there yet?" I asked as I had closed my
Rex Pov...I know it's wrong to leave Alejandro, but I don't have a face to stand in front of him. It's true what Georgia said, it's all my fault. I'm overwhelmed by what is happening, forgetting what is the most part that needs my attention. I blamed everything on her even though I was guilty too. When will this hatred engulfing me get out of my system? I kept telling myself that I didn't hate Samantha, that I just hated what she did. But that's not what I'm whispering to myself! I keep asking her out of my life and saying that I don't need her, but why does my anger flare every time I see her with Luigi? Fuck! I yelled angrily while flipping the table in front of me. All the food and bottles of wine I was drinking were thrown away. I hate this feeling!I got up to get another bottle but I accidentally stepped on the broken plates and bottles. "Aahh! Shit!" I cursed while watching the blood flow down my soles. Maybe this is what I need, to be wounded and hurt to realize, but why is
Samantha Pov...Luigi and I are already at the airport entrance ready to leave. I looked back once again before finally dragging my feet inside. I made the right decision not to live here. The place for me is not here but somewhere far away. Here in this place, my heart is like buried in the quicksand that is hard to get through it. I will leave this place again with the bitter truth that I will never have a love life. I will focus on my children. I wish I had thought about co-parenting before then nothing of this had happened, but I didn't see the big picture that I had to. Now, I need to start all over again. I will try to forget my mania that gave me a deep wound in my heart. I let Luigi carry our stuff and went into the waiting area to wait for him. We came here early in the morning even though our flight was later that afternoon. I really want to leave this place."Samantha." Luigi called me."Hmm.." I replied to him."Are you really sure of your decision?" He asked before sitt
Samantha Pov...My body was still trembling! I didn't want him to see us together because I didn't want any misunderstanding, but he saw us anyway. I felt exhausted and drowsy, so I leaned on Luigi's shoulder. I wish I had accepted what Luigi said and laid down the bag he arranged. It shouldn't have come to this.Luigi handed me water. I drink almost half a liter of water nervously. I can't help but tear up. I only need one thing from you, just one thing, Rex! It really hurts to love and fight for you."I'm sorry!" I told Luigi. I'm ashamed of him. I am ashamed that as much as he has helped me get through all the hurdles in my life, I can't repay him nicely. People are already whispering here that I betrayed Rex.That's why he was so angry when he saw us, but it's not true. But who will believe me when I explain? I already tarnished their belief. I cried even more out of pity for myself. You can do it, Samantha! You can handle it. I mumbled whilst my tears poured."Samantha.""I'm rea
Samantha Pov...I don't want to leave the hospital yet because I want to see Rex when he wakes up, but it's too suffocating and unbearable around us. I did nothing but leave the hospital with Luigi and Libya.I couldn't stop crying and couldn't say anything. Yes, they were right. It was all my fault if I hadn't left he wouldn't have had several accidents. I am the cause of all his burdens in life. I sat outside the hospital crying. It hurts when they slap you on how bad you are but you still don't understand. I love him but why did I do all this to him?"Sam, that's enough! You've been crying for a while!" Libya pleaded. I can't help, every time my brother's words echo in my ears, I can't help but cry."Libya!""Let's eat first so you have the strength to face them. See, more people are angry at you. I told you before!" She beamed. I looked at Luigi but he was just standing next to me."That's enough Libya. Don't criticize me anymore, it's too much to bear." I uttered, softly."I'm no
Samantha Pov...I went back to the hospital after we ate. Waited for Aviana and my brother Alejandro to leave before going inside. I stared at him from head to toe. This was the only time I could see him closer without fear after his multiple accidents before. I slowly walked closer to his bed and adjusted her thin sheets before holding her hand. Little by little my tears fell while staring at his hand towards his face. He looks different right now. You can see the wrinkles on his face and growing beard."Rex." I said weakly and didn't know where to start or what to say. I wiped my tears. They were right. I have no right to feel pain and cry. I caressed his face and couldn't restrain my tears from falling. This is the time I can get close to him without us fighting."Rex, I'm sorry." These are the only words that I can say even though I know that they are not enough to cure the pain that his heart went through."I'm really sorry that I did all of these things. I'm sorry that I hurt
Rex Pov... When I woke up and saw Alejandro was in the hospital. I closed my eyes again! What should I expect when she loves running away? I opened my eyes again as I wanted to sit down. My body is tired from lying down, especially in the hospital."Alejandro." I called him, who was seriously reading his emails on his laptop."Hmn, are you awake? Are you hungry?" He immediately asked as he put down his laptop and stood next to me."No, just thirsty. I want some coffee bro." I told him before sighing. He helped me sit properly on my bed."I sent her home if you're looking for Samantha. I'm afraid you might lose your shit and force yourself again!" He said, shoving the cappuccino in the can he was holding."What! I'm not looking for her, bro. Why should I be looking for her?" I pretended not to be affected by what he said."Oh! I'll just give a call to auntie Sita so she can-" I cut him off."Bro, can I leave now?" I uttered, changing the topic. I am not ready to face Samantha yet. I c
