“Okay, so let's see…” the OBGYN said as she ran the monitor on Rosette's flat belly. After the results was confirmed positive, Khein immediately secured an appointment for ultrasound. They have to make sure the child will be safe and sound. With the most prestigious and most expensive hospital in New York, Khein was able to get a one day appointment with the best OBGYN in the city. Khein and Rosette were just different. They're not the typical couples who would welcome the news with all shouting and glee from all the happiness. Instead, they took it quite differently. But that doesn't mean they're not happy, as a matter of fact, they were rejoicing. A mini Khein or a mini Rosette will be soon born in this world.Hands holding each other, Khein and Rosette looked into each other. Both were nervous and excited at the same time.“We could already see here the developing embryo here. The baby is about 2 weeks old and is healthy.”Pure relief and happiness filled their hearts as they list

I said yes…There was no thing that could describe what I felt at the moment. Even a word could express what I felt as I watched him knelt down in front of me and asked my hands for marriage. I was in bliss. I was lost for words. My mind was blown away and my heart was racing.Tears fell down on my cheeks. They're unstoppable. With each drop drops every words of gratitude and love I have for this man. He is the first man who made me feel this way. Or perhaps, the first person.I couldn't remember the last time I became this happy. Perhaps it was when I first completed a mission. Perhaps it was when my grandfather gave me a token of appreciation for my hardwork in both academics and the mafia. Perhaps, it was when I started appreciating myself and letting my inner self do its work. Perhaps, the first time I became this happy was when I became the person my parents didn't want me to become.Perhaps, those were the happy moments of my life.But…Nothing in the world could even put into a

There was a lot of blood outside. The hallway was full of dead people bathing with their own blood. I suddenly felt like throwing up. What the hell is going on?Bang.I flinched in shock when I heard a lot of banging from the door. I quickly turned the knob locked and got as far from the door as possible.I couldn't believe what was happening. I was attacked, and Khein wasn't even here.I looked around, trying to find something that could help me at least. And then I remembered my gun hidden on one of my clothes.My eyes widened as I ran inside our bedroom to come get it. I immediately found it on my first attempt. But just when I was about to grab it, I heard a clicking sound of a gun right through my head.I froze on where I stood as I went cold.As if I was a deer being caught in a headlight, I couldn't move nor make a sound at all. A gun was pointed right on my skull, and one mistake could make my brain go flying across the room.I gritted my teeth as I shut my eyes tight. Fear

I slowly opened my eyes. My vision was immediately blinded by the light above my head that I had to close them back because it hurts. When I had already adjusted, I roamed my around the place. It was an unfamiliar place. The walls were all painted in white and there was no windows. I could also hear the sounds of my heartbeat from the monitor next to my bed.That's when I realized I was in the hospital.But what am I doing here?My brows furrowed. I raised my right hand up and saw it was attached with an IV. Wait, am I admitted in the hospital? But why?Questions began bubbling in my head, trying to process what the hell was going on. I was about to sit up when the door suddenly opened and a doctor in white scrub went in."Good morning, Ms. Ferrero," he greeted me with a warm smile."W-Where am I?" I asked, my voice was hoarse as my throat was dry. I looked around, trying to find some familiar faces, but I found none."You're in the hospital," he said as he went to check my vitals.

I was speechless to say the least. My body froze in shock as I processed her words. To hear her say those words stole all the energy left on me. I stared, wide-eyed, as she continued to cry. My lips trembled. "You're lying... right?" I whispered in the thin air, not knowing how to respond to her. I cannot believe her words. It sounds skeptical to me. As much as I want to hear the truth, what she said was just so absurd.What? Mom falling into paralysis? How could that even happen? My mother is one of the strongest people I've seen in my whole pathetic life. She couldn't be that weak. And it was because of me? Huh. I refuse to believe such things. My mother would not possibly risk her life for a mere daughter like me, right? I am not that worthy of risk.And for dad... He wouldn't be that ruthless to kill an innocent person, right? Khein is out of this mess. I drag him with me. I practically cling myself on him, so there is no way dad would vent out his anger towards him. My father wo
