Blood…Blood was all over the place. It's like this room became a massacre area. I took a step back and couldn't breathe appropriately while darting my eyes in each corner until my vision caught something. I gasped, and my lips parted slightly. I shook my head while apprehending what was going on here."E-Ethan?"I almost screamed in terror, and my whole body went numb for a minute when I saw him sitting in the middle of the floor, almost lifeless. He coughed up some blood and then spit it on the floor. He must have heard me since he slowly looked up, and when our eyes locked, my heart pounded quickly. He raised his hand, trying to ask for help and reach me."N-Natasha! G-get me out of here…" he whispered. I just stood there, looking pathetic and hopeless."W-who are you?" I wanted to slap myself. I must be dreaming. Why there are two Ethan in this house? I quickly stopped myself when I realized something. My pupils dilated when I retrieved the moments I had with him ever since he cam

I shielded my body to protect Bobby from harm. They can take me away but not my poor innocent Bobby! They repeatedly kicked the door, persistent in getting inside! I looked around the area, searching for something that would help me knock out the intruder. I jumped in surprise when I heard a series of gunshots. I mentally cursed and cried inside, hoping that Ethan was okay down there!I saw a vase, and I hurriedly caught it and prepared to smash it to the one who would get inside first!“Stay back, Bobby! Mommy got this-”The door swung open, and I was about to hit them with a vase when someone caught my hands, stopping me from smashing the vase on their head. I opened my eyes just to see Ethan in his usual form. I sighed in relief, immediately dropping the vase on the floor. It made a loud thud. It didn’t break. Ethan embraced me tightly in his arms. I couldn’t care if I was being covered with his blood. I am glad that he is safe!“B-But how? I don’t understand….” I shook my head whe

Ethan blocked my body using his hands, shielding himself so the authorities wouldn't lay a finger on me. I swallowed the lump in my throat, roaming my eyes around the area to look for something we could escape. There was no use. We're being cornered again, and they wouldn't let us run with ease this time! Allen was standing there. Even half of his body was covered with his blood. Behind him were his comrades, who didn't lower their guns at us. One wrong move and we're gone. "Why won't you just let us free?!" Ethan yelled, taunting them not to take a step closer, or he would kill them. His voice sounded defeated, so I grabbed his hands, stroking them to ease his senses. I know he's worried about our lives being trapped again at the hands of authorities, but Ethan needs to chill down. Allen might shoot us here. "And let you kill more lives?!" Allen shouted in dismay, pointing his fingers at Ethan. "I won't let you get away with this! My country is in my hands, and it's my job to prote

"Where are we heading, Ethan?" I asked while roaming my eyes around the area. I don't know where we are heading since Ethan has been walking and carrying us for about hours now.Ethan was silent the whole time. His eyes were focused on our path, and I could sense he was alert the entire time if someone might attack us out of nowhere. I glimpse down at Bobby, who was sleeping inside the bag. I was glad the pack was dry so Bobby won't shiver from the cold. I caressed his head, grateful that everything was restful for now.We're in the middle of nowhere. This time, we lost our belongings, sources, and everything we had. The only thing that remains is our lives. We're basically piteous and emptied right now. I realized a tear escaped my eyes while thinking about our situation when Ethan suddenly dropped to the ground. Since he was holding us, we rolled on the dirt."Ethan!"Bobby barked from the sudden collision. I crawled to get closer to his side. I was taken aback when I touched his sk

“Fuck, dude, I told you she lost consciousness earlier when she saw her husband. There was this relieved in her expression, thankful. It feels like they had been through some worst shits.”“So, she had a husband?”“Aren’t you listening carefully?!”“Well, you lost me at the husband.”“Unbelievable!”I shifted from my spot when I heard faint noises again. I slowly opened my eyes, and the same chandelier hanging on the ceiling greeted me. I blink, processing what had happened when I recalled everything. I suddenly sat straight, eyes widened in horror, and at the same time, I heard yells coming from the end of the bed.I flinched because of their squealing voices. I scratched the corners of my eyes before I finally recognized who it was.“Harry…” I called his name. He was with a man I hadn’t seen before, not until now. Harry and the man were hugging each other. I looked at them from head to feet, raising a brow and totally confused about what was happening here.Harry soon realized he wa
