“Denny! Oh, my boy,” Chloe cried even louder. Her sobs became uncontrollable.“Mom, what’s going on?” Denny was still confused, and he was in a dilemma seeing his mom in so much sadness and despair. He moved closer to embrace Chloe as she seemed hesitant to reach her arms out to hug her son. Denny’s heart slightly ached at the indescribable sadness on his mom’s face. Chloe’s eyes had reddened, and tears were endlessly streaming down her cheeks, no matter how often she wiped her face with the soft cotton handkerchief in her hands. She felt her heart was being crushed. She did not wish for anything like any of these to happen. Not with Desmund and Denisse, and most especially not with Denny. But she now realized she made a terrible move judging a person she should have never done without making sure her actions won’t bite her back in her heels. It was like she threw a ball, and it bounced on the wall, hitting her back so hard. The words she said to Aleah were usual. Any mother would ha

Denny dialed Trisha's phone. It rang. It kept ringing but unanswered. "Hon- Aleah, please answer the phone," Denny whined as he drove home. Denny found it hard to call her "honey" knowing all these ugly happenings. He feels too ashamed to dare be intimate with the woman a family of his had murdered. Insane or not, the family of the victim would still mourn losing the only parent left by their sides. "God…" Denny could not help his tears clouding his eyes as the thought of pain Aleah was going through right now stings his heart sharply. "This is so unfair…" he clenched his jaw as he whined, driving with a single hand while the other arm wiped his tears, clearing his sight.He dialed again. But like earlier, his call was not answered. A lot of thoughts were attacking his busy mind. "She must hate me and everyone related to the murderer. I can't blame her. I don't blame her. She has every right to hate whoever did these awful things to her family."During the time he was calling, no

Denny and Don Carlo cleared their throats as they gathered themselves again from embarrassment. They sheepishly smiled at Angela, peeking behind the lady if Aleah also saw what just happened. "Hi, honey…" Denny blurted out as soon as his eyes caught the sight of the woman he had been longing to see. The feeling of embarrassment from what just happened was long forgotten, along with the feeling of anxiety he was drowning with, ever since he could not reach her over the calls he had made. The familiarity to call her "honey" as usual, prevailed, and as if nothing weird ever happened within the hours they have been apart, Denny felt home even from just the sight of Aleah. "Honey, what's wrong?" Denny worriedly asked as he noticed Aleah's face had ashen. His steps became quick and in a flash, he was next to Aleah's side. "Where do you feel hurt?" He asked so worriedly.Aleah was lost for words to say. She looked past Denny, and her eyes searched for Angela. "It's okay, sweetie, calm do

"How do you want to deal with the murderer?" Denny asked cautiously as he fed Aleah. They were alone in the room as the owner of the house had already left to give them privacy. Denny did not let Aleah know anything about his relationship with the person involved. He wanted to hear Aleah's opinion decisions, and whatever she wanted to be done will tell him what to do. He was after knowing her personal thoughts about the matter from a spectator's point of view. "I wish to fight and get the justice my mom deserved," Aleah spoke firmly, but her resolute mind seemed to soften. Sadness cloaked her. "But I don't know how. I don't have the strength because the doctors said I have to rest and make sure my babies are safe. I fainted when I heard my mom's heart stop beating, and I almost had a miscarriage. I can't be reckless and let another bleeding happen, or I might lose them along with my mom," she added. Her voice was shaking in fear, even from just the thought of it. "Honey, I am here.

Yohan was convinced when he saw all the evidence Denny Vero showed him after asking Scott to come over and prove Denny's statements. He also saw every video clip that stood as proof, along with the documents. They even presented Yohan the footage about what happened in the airport that further explained Desmund Vero's condition, having the mental disorder. It convinced Yohan that this man is indeed mentally ill, and since they already have him in police custody, the young man was no longer worried of any threat that they would miss the chance to bring this criminal into justice, healthy or not. "I would like to ask for your help explaining things to your sister if I get into trouble since I have the same last name with the criminal," Denny seriously uttered after Yohan expressed his thoughts, agreeing with Denny being innocent in all of what was going on and what has happened. "I believe if you explain things the way you did to me, Aleah will understand," Yohan assured Denny. "But j
