- ACE - The effects have died down. I can function properly without dizziness and my mind is stable. It's day break and I've been up for hours but there has been no sign of Lorelei. It's Saturday and it is difficult to do anything knowing she's out there somewhere with someone I may or may not know. My fingers massage my temples as I stare at my phone which is laying on my bed by my side. I have dialed and dialed so many times but I've gotten no response. At this point, I can't tell if she's avoiding me and declining my calls on purpose or not. I can't tell if she tried another run away. I exhaled, trying to think. She can't get away from me. Not yet. Maybe she's partying somewhere else. Today is Saturday after all and it's not like she has a lot to do. Her pharmacy has been destroyed and she's not working at the moment. That must kill her. She probably just used the ball as an excuse to clear her head and be as far away from me as possible. A grin formed on my face. I love diffi

- LORELEI -A deep breath barely escaped my lungs with a sharp pain in my chest. I groaned softly. After struggling to breathe for so long in this position, the pain has become something I got used to. The wind is cold and ticklish on my skin yet harsh on my sores. My vision is too blurry to see the change of the day but I can tell that the night is getting darker. Time is whiling away and I have lost the will to stay alive. Help is not coming. No one would want to help a stranger deserted in the middle of nowhere. I am not loved. Not by my contracted husband, not by my birth father, not by my step mother. The people who do care about me.... I haven't been in contact with them since my wedding... since I heard I was getting sold off... they don't even know anything about me now. My head feels light but my body feels heavy. I can hear a faint sound leave my nose with every breath. No one cares... no one will come even if they're notified that I'm in danger... My fate was sealed

- LORELEI -The x-ray was done. Twice in fact. These doctors are taking care of me like their lives depend on it. It feels nice to be pampered more than usual in a hospital but I can't help but feel guilty about it. I remember when I could barely afford certain things and blessed the lord for my national insurance because at least I could meet book hospital appointments and get prescriptions. Not being able to afford drugs is one of the reasons I decided to open a pharmacy. So mother doesn't have to get abused by Richard first whenever she got sick. Yet here I am being treated like I'm worth something. Even the largeness and condition of the room makes it clear that it costs a lot of money. Money that's not mine. My whole body hurts so I'm glad I could at least afford treatment because I dread to think what would've happened to me. I can't remember when I fainted or how I got here, I just know I woke up here. And I've been asleep for two weeks. I giggled. Just the thought makes me

- ACE - The car came to a halt, followed by a lot of ear scraping noises and honks. My chest is heaving as I breathe heavily. I'm alive. My body is intact and so far, there's no air bag or broken glass pieces anywhere. I raise my head up from the steering wheel to look ahead of me. Although cars are parked in an unusual way on the road, the truck was slant into a different direction just an inch away from my vehicle. Oh thank goodness. That was so close and so very risky. I took my seat belt off and walked out. I don't want no arguments and there is no justification for my actions. I was so blinded by guilt that I would've killed people today. And on purpose while putting Isabel's life in danger. If that truly happened, I'll hate myself even more. I don't even care about myself, but I do about the people I care about. "I am so sorry, I didn't mean-" A sharp exhaled left my lips as I run my hands through my hair. So much is on my mind right now and I am so fucking frustrated. "It's

- ACE -My greatest fear was satisfied by going to the station. Whoever attacked Lorelei that night was sent to attack me but the police couldn't decode who it was. There were no finger prints in the scene and someone or more people, managed to burn my car at the scene into ashes despite all their safety measures to stop that. The only thing that was left unscathed from the scene are the things they retrieved the night they found Lorelei and brought them for investigation but they have found nothing from it. Nothing at all. I find the wait as a waste of time because nothing came out of it. This shit took them two weeks? The timing was very convenient or I'd have lost it. I sighed, tilting my head to the side to stare at the zip plug bag on the seat of my car containing the letter. I haven't read it yet but I will once I get out of this car. And I don't know when that'll be. Another sigh escape my lips as I lean my head on the chair of my car deep in thought. I don't know what to d
