In life, did you ever have the chance where you have to choose between two things? Like… what do you like the most? Chocolate or vanilla? Or even the tricky question of who is your favorite among your parents? Your mom or your dad? For me… who was a child, the problems I always had were just about my outfit. What dress I would like to wear, what shoes would I want to pair my clothes with, or even what food shall I eat for snacks… Such simple things like that… Why… why is life so cruel? Why is the world turning like this? As if all the fairytale I have lived as a child was taken away for me. Is… is this the price? Is this the payment for being born as a Hinsen? “Think about it, my dear little sister. You only have one bullet. This bastard or that bitch? Who would you want to kill?” He then told the other people to leave. As if he can say they have no use now that they deliver Drake to him. Both of them are dear to me… yet… both their eyes are saying how they would be fine if I w

Kianna POV “Why are you doing this to me?” I dare not look at Drake, Hera, or my mother. Because that man is holding a gun and he can take the life of anyone in his reach. “I also wonder why… you are not quite of a bright kid like your Mom. Oh- now I remember… because you also have that filthy blood of that damn Lenardo…” He is a more talkative person than I thought he would be. This man… somehow he was someone I hated to see… because every time I looked at him I would be reminded of my father who was his close friend before. Now I wonder if they are truly friends at all. “Yes… that filthy blood you are jealous of” I gulp as I took a step. There was a podium a bit far from me and I can see it going up little by little. He grins as he heard why remarks. “Uncle… do you think I forgot about it?” It was annoying, I hate my memories for being like this. Everything was so mixed up that I can no longer tell what happened in my timeline and the others... As if I was looking for a puzzl

There are things in life that you can’t understand. Things that may be big or small. Things that can also be so impossible to even imagine. But there is one thing that I learned in life. That... sometimes, things happen for a reason. It may be a lesson or a small step for you to be in a certain direction. And sometimes, things just happen just because you are the reason. “Eat this too, Mom” “I have eaten plenty, what if I upset my stomach?” There are people who will distance themselves not because they don’t like to be with you but just simply because they love you so much that they decided to do so. They think that it would be the best for everyone even if they end up doing it to hurt themselves much more... They think that by doing so, it will bring greater good to both of you, and knowing that would be enough for them to endure the pain. “You call that plenty? That was just half the usual you eat, Carmina” “Mom, not you too…” I giggled as I heard my mom get scolded by her mo

Kianna POV “Hera… how are you?” “…” I did expect her to be like this but… really… I wonder if it would be alright. “Hey, speak to me…” “Is that what you would say to your friend who mourns for your fake death?” I look at the ground as I fidget my fingers. Indeed, she was right. I was a person who faked her death and now… “I am sorry…” Looking at me, I can’t even say any other words than my apology. They deserve to know the truth. They deserve to know it as my friend. They were hurt when they learned about my death. I know it but… Things are just so complicated that I can’t just speak about what happened so freely. It is not like I can let many people know about it... It would just bring them in danger... “You frame your death. Do you know how hurt we are? Specially Patrish. Do you know how much pain she was in just because of your damn play?!” I want to defend myself. Say the reason why I did that for their sake but in the end, I can’t find myself trying to say any words at

I do have that question for myself as well.Now that the world finally knows I am dead, would it be… right to announce the truth?That is something I am still not sure.And also… What would happen to the company now… I mean… Dad is not around and my brother- No, what I mean is Marco… he is not even my brother…“Kianna…”Patrish mumbles for the first time.“Whatever it might be… please tell us if you plan something big again…”Smiling bitterly, Patrish looks at me.“We are not just your friends, we are a family too. So we were really hurt when we learned about your death. We are hurt more than you can ever think of…”“Patrish…”“I understand what happened but still, we didn’t like what you did. We are happy that you are back but we feel betrayed…”I nod my head. I know that. I already knew it would be like that and I understand that it was but my fault.“I am really sorry… I know that what I did is wrong. Sorry… really”…After that conversation, I never hear Hera’s voice again. She re
