I agreed because of another reason again -- for our safety.
"Do not worry, we will be having a one-week vacation ONLY in there. You will not even notice that we will stay in there for a week because the view brings so much nostalgic. Believe me, cousin."
I let Marixa knew that. She kept asking me what happened but at the end, she was already packing her things together.
"Mom, I did not know what happened earlier to see Grandmother shaking in fear as if something bad happened to her." Kyra had just arrived in here. I even planned to talk with Mom but she's currently in another room, maybe because she was not ready yet to entertain anybody.
"Do not mind her, Kyra. Maybe she is just stressed out because of work," that was I said. Kyra knowing nothing about that raid was way better. I wanted to see her calmed. Her innocent mind should be maintained clean and stress-free. "But, Mom... We are packing our things together, are we going back home again?"

I hate it when I saw some men trying their best to catch Sydney's attention. Damn, this was the disadvantage of liking someone from afar, aside from we had no label, I also did not have any right to punch the every man who flickered over her. And I hated myself for liking her too much.I guessed... I already was in love with her.But then, destiny really played so well. The person who taught me to survive and the one who urged me to continue my studies was Sydney's Mom. That was why I grabbed the opportunity, I kept asking Auntie Trinidad about her. Nevertheless, seemed like she did not want me to be close to her daughter.Though as I said, destiny played so unpredictably. Untilthe day came and I found myself hugging Sydney. I knew that we felt the same way towards each other. That despite her mother not agreeing with our relationship, we still fought."You like the sea, right? It's your favorite hobby to look at it every sunset, right?" I nodded at
I hated myself for treating Sydney bad. I wished for her to realize that I was not interested at her anymore so that she would stop bugging me, but then, majority of me liked to see her chasing me. She loved me, I could say that, really. She loved me to the point that she could also bare painful words from me. Ones I was sure that surely broke her.She introduced herself as my wife, causing me use my power and hire private investigator. While waiting for results, I saw in my drawer the proofs that Sydney and I were both married.It was all too late to ask for forgiveness when I wanted her to unmarry me before. She was a strong woman, and she did not budge no matter her mother ruined her. She was very different from some other girls, and anyone would surely love her because of her personality. But loving her back in the midst of my recovering seemed so tedious to do. It's not fair in the both sides.She disguised as Mindy. She was a great pretender for making me
"Are not you planning to hug your child?" Marcus teased me as he rolled down the car's window, making me see the clearer view of my daughter talking to her seemingly close friends. I closed my eyes shut. This man in the driver seat was not a father yet and I would wait him to become and would make sure to have my payback time.For years in stalking Kyra, my only one daughter, who resembled my face, Marcus was always available to tease me again and again. In short, he liked to slap in my face how weak I was when it came to my daughter."You know the reason why, Marcus, so stop attacking me. It is annoying."Truth was, I never expected that I would be friends with this jerk. It's been years since we almost killed ourselves because of business competition and now we were finally friends! Well actually, he knew most of my secrets. That was how close we were right now."Of course, I will never forge
I blamed and cursed myself. I did not let Marcus to finish his announcement and just hurriedly came into my car. Good thing there was no traffic welcomed me because God knew I would really explode for more if ever... Shit.. Kyra... She's attacked. She was hurt. The suspect might cause her lots of bruises. She probably cried. Damn. Please, God, prove all my thoughts wrong."Your security in here is all useless! I thought this is a private school? So why the hell someone attacked Kyra?" I stormed inside the room. It's their break time and most of students were outside the room having their recess. I heard from other children the news about Kyra! Speaking of my daughter, I caught her in her school canteen earlier, and even though she was with her friends, I could say she was somehow traumatized because of what happened."I am sorry Mr. Sandoval for the securities' carelessness. We will carry all the responsibilities. We are planning to talk to Kyra's mother about this inc
I was feeling guilty because I never answered Kyra's questions. The reason why was because those were very personal. My mouth was unstoppable whenever I was mad, and so I kept myself kinda far from her anytime I felt she was about to ask me. Her asking me was already predicted me.Of course, she was a daughter. There were lots of questions in her head. Something was bothering her, also, and it's obvious she was trying to stop herself from sharing it with me. I did not try her to confess because I even could not be totally honest with her."Mom, you are not taking your medicines."I snapped out off my thoughts when Kyra appeared holding pens. Thing was, she studied inside this cute little house.Her learning were blended one since she was answering her modules and attending online classes at the same time. It was tiring for someone like her but she never complained."Mom...""Oh, yeah." I sat on my bed. The funny thing was that I was now having
Neil promised to take care of my business in the City. Yet, I also made sure to contribute a lot because it was my responsibility to handle that business since it was mine. Neil was handling a lot of things, that was why when he said he would help me, I also said I would try my best not become a pain in the ass.Kyra became too aggressive. What I meant about that was that my daughter was being spoiled by Neil. She did not get tired pursuing me to have a date with Neil. I told that Neil and I already had one before, but this was the first time my very understanding daughter cried because I kept disagreeing with her favors."You do not have to say something like that. You could agree. You could say you agree to date with me even if it's fake," Neil said firmly. Thing was, Kyra got fallen asleep in too much tiredness. I would really talk to her once she would wake up. This was not easy for me, too. "Now, look at her. She fall asleep with a lonely heart."Nothing ca
We used his yacht to go to the hotel he recommended to me. He said it was the nearest one from our location. He did not manage that structure though he was sure we were safe to roam around in there. He also commanded his ten men to take a look of me always without making me feel their presence. I debated no more because what he thought was surely for my safety.He was standing just beside me as we watched the minimal movements of the clouds above. I realized even more that this was I needed. That me being resided in an island also deserved a moment like this.What I liked to see in the sky were the birds soaring so high without problems and worries. Their wings captivated me in a way only them could make me close my eyes."Do you like this?" I heard him, his voice so smooth, like the air I was breathing right now. "If Kyra is here, she would be really glad. I am hoping we can do this next time, if you would like this to happen again...""We should. You ar
"I am sorry, Mrs. Sandoval, but he doesn't want to continue the call anymore. Should I give the phone back to him--?""No. Do not." I caught my own breath. "I have a favor. Please, do not tell about this to Neil. Please, do not say to him that I have just talked to Daniel."She hesitated at first, but at the end, she assured me she would be silent. Truth to be said, the conversation I had with Daniel was not enough at all. I thought a phone-to-phone call one would be enough but I was wrong. It never calm me down. It did not set aside my worries. When in fact, now that I knew he really still loved me, I could not help but to overthink.I did not want myself to choose between my relationship with him and my family's. Undeniably, he's my savior before, but, he was not the one I knew before. Because when I talked to him earlier, I heard how his voice changed. Before, it used to comfort me to tell me everything was going to be alright, but earlier, it seemed like he
