That day, I didn't have an idea of what was going to happen in my life, and this was the beginning where things started to change little by little with the passing of time, so much so that it made me do something reckless. That is so wrong, yet it seemed so right at that time. If I look back now and think about it, I can't even imagine how such things came about in my mind. I was fateful enough to get out of it any time, but everything in the world comes with a price so bad that it still haunts me at night whenever I think about it, and even after all these years, I can’t get it out of my mind. I don’t think that I ever can, not when the thing is my own flesh and blood, something that can never be with me.Just as Mom mentioned, the place we are in is very different from what I have ever been to. I’m saying that when we are just standing by the gigantic door, waiting for it to open.I don’t know if the mom is very rich. Maybe the person is her boss. But if that’s the case, then why am
"Wait a minute. Does that mean you don't know who your father was before that day?" Jason asked, his voice filled with curiosity and confusion. He leaned in closer, eager to uncover the truth behind this revelation.I shook my head in response, a mixture of sadness and frustration crossing my face. "No, I don't. It's always been a mystery to me, and it's something that has haunted me for years," I admitted, my voice filled with a tinge of longing. "And that day was the first time my mom spoke about him. She never mentioned his name or anything about him until then. It was like a floodgate of emotions, and unanswered questions opened up in that moment."Jason stopped staring at me and furrowed his brow; his curiosity piqued. "And your mom, that day when we were in the meadows, you said you never knew your mom. What about that?" Jason piqued I paused for a moment, gathering my thoughts, before responding to Jason's question. "I said my mother was a stranger to me because she was always b
“I’m…so…. rry.” Kiera turned her head to leave but stopped.“Wait… don’t leave,” the voice said, making Kiera frozen in her place. “Come here.”She didn't know what to do as her feet started moving automatically, and within seconds she was standing in front of the owner of the voice, only to be surprised by it.“Daniel,” she calls, taking a long sigh of relief.“Why? You are accepting someone else.” He asks, and I shake my head with a smile on my face. “Stop smiling like a fool,” he said, staring at Kiera from top to bottom. “And what the heck are you wearing?"Upon hearing his remarks, Kiera stared at herself, not seeing anything wrong with her clothes; she was wearing nothing usual, just a normal t-shirt and jeans.“Fool, you want to freeze to death or what?" Daniel scolded Kiera, staring at her from the place where he was sitting on the floor with a cloth spread over it, and Daniel was sitting there holding a light and a book with his head resting on the back of the wall. “Stop star
The bright sun glitters in my eyes, waking Daniel up from his deep slumber, as he feels something warm snuggling his body tight with a head placed in his chest. He smiles, staring at the petite frame of Kiera and the way she snuggles to his body close, hugging him tight, with her head resting on his chest. He gently brushes a strand of hair away from her face, admiring her peaceful expression. The warmth of their embrace fills him with a sense of contentment, making him never want to let go.Never could he think of a time waking up with a smile on his face after his parents, but from the time Kiera entered his life, everything excited him with her presence in life.Even the dark night in the meadows, to the uncomfortable sleep on the creaking old floor with just a blanket. Everything seems beautiful to her.Daniel slowly moves his hands, very gently so as not to wake Kiera up, as he brushes the bliss of her hair away from her face, revealing her beautiful sleeping face to him. But I gu
“Did you meet your parents after that?” Jason asked.Kiera nodded her head at his words. “Yes, I did, but I didn’t know at that time that there was a big surprise waiting for me.”“What surprise?” Jason inquired with curiosity, eager to uncover the unexpected turn of events.“After entering the house, I saw everyone running here and there in a hurry. There were doctors and nurses, all including my dad, but I couldn’t see my mother anywhere near them.”*****“Kiera, where were you?” Dad came running to me, saw me enter the house, and wrapped his arms tightly around me. “Thank God you are alright.”She doesn’t know what is happening or why there is all this rush in the house. But before she can ask any questions, her father drags her into one of the bedrooms.“Where are you taking me?” Kiera asked.“Just for once, trust me,” Gabriel said, opening the door to one bedroom.And there inside the big room, she is lying on the bed, her mother immobile with her eyes closed, and her body attache
“A loss for a gain,” Kiera said, looking at Jason with so much pain in her eyes.“Why?” Jason asked, holding Kiera’s hands in his. “What happened after the nurse came?”“I experienced the first pain of loss in life,” Kiera mumbled, with Jason staring at her, not understanding the meaning behind her words or the pain she had gone through in the past.********“Mom,” Kiera called, sitting beside her mother on the bed and gently placing her hand on her mother's. “Why are you like this? What happened?” Keiera asked with concern in her voice. Her mother looked at her with tears in her eyes.Serena gave her a small smile from under her oxygen mask and signaled for the nurse to remove it. “I’m so happy to see you." Her voice broke as she struggled to speak. “Together with you, Dad,” she said, taking many pauses in between her words, with her shaking even in a mere whisper.Kiera held back her tears, trying to stay strong for her mother, and nodded her head, looking towards Gabriel. There are
A third wheel that will turn Daniel and Kiera’s lives upside down. “About whom are you talking about?” Kiera took a breath, trying very hard to control her emotions. "Liam..." Kiera mumbled under her breath, her voice barely audible. Jason was startled by the information. What did Liam do to Kiera? There is one incident he clearly remembers and his last conversation with him, but other than that, he has no idea what happened in recent years. “Everything was going well in my life. I was finally trying to get over the pain of losing my mother and trying to accept my father, but everything changed after that day.” Kiera paused, her eyes welling up with tears. Jason silently watched Kiera, remembering things that happened that day that started to trigger Liam’s involvement in Kiera’s life. When my mom died, I was not old enough legally to live on my own, so the authorities made my aunt and uncle take custody of me. I only stayed three years with them, and I trust it was the worst tim
That day, Kiera gave me the very first kiss of my life. It was a moment I had longed for, and as her lips met mine, time seemed to stand still. The softness of her touch and the warmth of her embrace left an indelible mark on my heart, forever etching that day into my memory.It's funny how many people get to know that, even in my twenties, I have never kissed anyone before Kiera. I had always wondered what it would feel like to share such an intimate moment with someone, and Kiera made it worth the wait. Her gentle kiss awakened a newfound sense of desire and passion within me, making me realize the beauty of experiencing such a connection with another person. Nobody has the same effect on me as Kiera did, and I couldn't help but be captivated by her presence. From that moment on, I knew that she held a special place in my heart, and I couldn't imagine my life without her.A smile spread across my face every time I thought about our first kiss, and it became a cherished memory that I
