Silent Cry Chapter 17 - Fear
3rd Person.The sunlight woke Gabbie up from deep sleep. Her body recognized the pain from different parts of her body, particularly on her left cheek. Touching her face unleashed all the memories of her getting kidnapped and so she gasped and sat up in a flash.'Am I saved? Where am I? I am not familiar with this place.' She thought to herself while roaming her eyes around the big but unfussy bedroom. And then she remembered a scene of her looking up to a blurry man that resembled Xander.'Wait, is he Xander? Then am I in his room?'Out of shock, she climbed out of the bed but before she could sneak her way out, a note on the side table together with a covered bowl, glass of water, and a certain medicine stopped her feet. She does not want to assume that those are for her because it is near impossible knowing how cold and cruel Xander is. But the fact that she is in his room gave her a shade of hope and without further shilly-shallying, she walked towards it.'Eat the porridge and ta

They both hugged each other tightly before the visitor who happened to be the patient's daughter walked towards her tranquil father.She sat on a stool on the side of the bed and raised her father's left hand to press it between her two hands. "Dad, I'm getting married in a week," she almost whispered and a tear fell like a sudden raindrop as she sniveled. Gwyneth paid attention to this and also wailed. The day is finally coming and if there was a tiny bit of hope in them before to get away, there is none anymore. No one knew the exact date of the wedding before, sure they thought it would be at least months later but Mr. Alejandro is rushing things for a reason they wouldn't know. Gabbie cried for minutes there burying her face in her father's cold hands. It was like being sentenced to life imprisonment for a crime that was just a
Silent Cry Chapter 19 - Changes
Gabbie.Petals scattered all over the altar, few seats arranged in a semi-slant manner giving a wonderful space for the bride to walk down. The breeze gives a soft blow to our skin that somehow enlightens the discreet fear behind celebratory smiles.We chose a garden wedding located at one of Evans' vacation villas with only a few VVIP guests attending. But the media will make it possible for a live audience in their cozy homes.I wore the wedding gown that I chose on that day when I and Xander shopped clothes. I keep on heaving deep sighs as I study the lonely figure staring back at me in this huge mirror. I can tell I was beautified. My skin gleaming and my eyes radiate innocence. I look like a princess on the outside but I can't avoid seeing myself from within—the Gabbie that's far from being a fairy tale character.I was jarred from my reverie when someone sat on my side. I didn't feel his presence upon walking towards me but I saw his reflection from the mirror and that's when I

She first saw a blurry human figure beside her until after a few eyes scratches and blinks, she wraps her mind around that 'yeah, I just got married yesterday.' Waking up with him should not make her caught on the hop but what stupefied her was the way the man is looking at her right now.Xander was awake minutes ago and kept on gazing at her little wife who's now hugging him. Gabbie realized that in no time and tried to remove her hand from wrapping Xander but to her chagrin, the man held her arm instead to stay in its place and even did the same to the woman. They are now swaddling each other's waists. 'Why am I facing him right now? Did I do that while sleeping?' That's all she could think and embarrassment took over her.Xander's lips lifted to the side as if poking fun of the blushing mess girl beside him. His eyes were still glued t

3rd Person.3 DAYS LATER"Oh, you're back! That's too soon," Jameson greeted the man sitting on his chair already after just three days of honeymoon. He even arrived at the company before the employees and Jameson."Do you expect me to have a whole week leave?""Yes! It should be more than just a week. What happened? Is the honeymoon boring?" and he gave a teasing laugh to Xander who immediately shook his head."Nah, I actually had a blast," he corrected and that made the story-digger widen his eyes."Ohh you must have the steamiest nights of your life. How far did you go?" He sounded so malicious."Very high," a smile lets out from his mouth unconsciously. "We had camped.""Wait, what?" Jameson was totally enjoying the kink when he realized that the last sentence was told too serious to be a joke. "Camping, you say?"Xander nodded."You're a saint, Xander. Should I praise you now? What the hell!""What's the matter with that? The trip was so fun!""That's totally not you. Look, you're

In just a second after that, all the happenings last night, one after one, run through my mind. Every detail was very lucid and every feeling remains on me being the pain as the most haunting.I moved my head to see the empty space on the other side of my bed as well as the noiseless and neat surroundings of my room as if everything is accustomed. It's the same morning I wake up to, the same color, the same interior...I am the only one who's not anymore the same.I tried to lift my legs but with every move, the ache intensifies and I couldn't do anything but endure it and climb down the bed still covered with the whole blanket because I am dirty naked.

Gabbie's POV"G-Good evening, Sir." I stammered while walking step by step towards them. I was double thinking whether to join this conclave or to stay out of it."Come, sit," he confirmed so I obediently sat beside Xander on the couch, facing Mr. Alejandro on the other side. I was calculating the distance I should give to Xander when I sat on his side. I settled on two feet but to my surprise, he held my waist to pull me closer and kissed the side of my head.I gasped but was unnoticed since he spoke immediately after kissing me. "How's your day, my wife?"I looked at him with my half bewilderment. It's because I can somehow smell what he is trying to act. I met his eyes and finally substantiate my thoughts. His eyes say it all behind his grin."Great! I had a great day," I said while looking into his eyes.He widen his smile and caressed my waist.
