Chapter: CHAPTER 89: More Than What She Believes-KARINA-MY HEART pounded erotically with every passing second, following every step of Zeke's.He never told me he was leaving today.I had waited outside his office earlier, pretending to scroll through my phone while listening to the secretary gossip with someone over the desk.That was when I heard he had the flight this morning.The words had sent a cold jolt through my chest.I rushed straight to his condo building after that, and just in time. I saw him walking out of the lobby, his hand has a suitcase, while slipping into a waiting car.By the time I reached the curb, the car was already pulling away.I booked the nearest ride I could find, making sure I could still follow him.Now I sat in the back seat, gripping the edge of the seat so tightly my knuckles had turned pale.“Excuse me, can you drive faster?” I snapped. “We’re going to lose that car.”Th

Chapter: CHAPTER 88.2: Make You Mine-KARINA TUMABAGA'S Point Of View-IN THE end of that argument, I still won.He came with me to my first check-up.A small, satisfied smile curved on my lips when I saw him standing stiffly beside me in the clinic, tall and unmistakably irritated, as if every second there scraped against his pride.“You could sit, you know,” I told him lightly. “You look like an idiot just standing there.”He didn’t move like a stone. He remained standing the entire time, arms crossed, jaw tight, his expression sour enough to curdle milk.The doctor finished the examination and handed me a prescription for vitamins.I slid the paper across the table toward him with two fingers.“Why?” he asked flatly. “What am I supposed to do with that?”“Buy it,” I said simply.A long, heavy sigh escaped him. The kind said that he already knew he had no choice.

Chapter: CHAPTER 88.1: Make You Mine-KARINA TUMABAGA'S Point Of View-HE MUST have thought he could escape me this time.I was already waiting at the reception area when the elevator doors opened. I saw the exact moment his composure cracked. Surprise flashed across his face the instant his eyes landed on me sitting in the lobby outside his office floor.Slowly, deliberately, I ran my hand up and down my stomach, slow enough for him to notice and see how it had begun to swell.His gaze dropped there. The darkness that settled across his face deepened as his brows knotted. He strode toward me, his steps sharp and impatient. Before I could stand on my own, his hand clamped around my arm and yanked me up from the sofa.“Ouch! Wait! Hey, that hurts,” I protested, wincing at the tight grip digging into my skin.His jaw locked as he spoke through clenched teeth. “What the hell are you doing here, Karina?” he hissed. “Who told you to come here?”His eyes flick

Chapter: CHAPTER 87: Failure To Escape-CELESTINE-IT HAS been almost a week since they locked me in this place.Seven days inside the same suffocating room. Seven days of staring at the same pale walls until the color started to feel like it was crawling under my skin. My mind kept circling the same question over and over.How do I get out?I need to find a way.If I stayed here any longer, I might actually lose my sanity for real.“Your food is here,” the nurse said flatly, dropping the tray on the floor as if she were feeding a stray dog instead of a patient.The metal tray scraped against the tiles.My jaw tightened. That's enough. If I wanted to get out of here again, I had to make a move.I slowly approached her, dragging my feet like someone whose mind had already snapped.Then suddenly, I lunged.“Let go of me, you crazy bitch!” she shrieked.My body slammed against hers, forcing her down onto the floor. My forear

Chapter: CHAPTER 86: A Friend In Need-CELESTINE'S Point Of View-“CRAZY?” She repeated, I am not sure if she understand it. “I’m still young,” she added.I knew it. It clearly means she have the mind of a child and she wasn’t insane at all. Not a mentally ill.Then why was she locked in a place like this? How old was she really?I finished rinsing her off and grabbed the towel hanging nearby, wrapping it around her body. The moment I did, she suddenly hugged me.My body felt frozen then her hand immediately squeezed my left breast.“So big…” she murmured, eyes fixed shamelessly on my chest. “Can I taste it?”There was something wrong with this girl. I just didn’t know what exactly it is.Before I could stop her, she lifted the loose hospital gown I was wearing. My breasts spilled forward, barely contained by my bra.“Wow… they’re huge.” She giggled softly. “I like this. This must taste good.”She pushed my bra up and began touching them curiously. Even I gasped when she suddenly took one into her mouth.My back hit the b

Chapter: CHAPTER 85.2: FrancineCELESTINE ALCAZAR Point Of ViewTHE NURSE finally left. I felt crushing on my chest as I kept listening to the nurse that has no manners.The door shut behind her with a dull click, her footsteps fading down the hallway. I sat there for a moment, staring at the spot where she had stood, my nails digging into my palms.Part of me had wanted to scratch her face so badly or bite her instead and pretend I am crazy, or really, I am madly crazy. Anything to wipe that smug look off her face.But I let it go.I know handling people like me, whom they called “crazy patients,” must have worn their patience thin. Still… did that give them the right to treat us like animals?I waited a few minutes before walking back to the door.Slowly, I twisted the knob. It turned easily. It was unlocked.So, the nurse had meant what she said earlier. She's tired of watching me.Good for me.I lock

I was twenty-five, but see how things and time changed things. Also changed me.Three years had passed.The freaking three years of my life. Those first years and the remaining years before, I wasted because of Brent Echavez and Ezekiel Bellevera."Miss Celes, nakahanda na po si Miss Francine."Napatango ako sa nag-assist na saleslady.

Huli na ba ang lahatHinubad ni Anne ang jacket na suot niya, isinampay sa likod ko, saka niya ibinalot sa akin. That jacket did not give comfort. Yes, it is warm, but it didn't do anything at all."Mabuti pang umuwi na muna tayo para kumalma ka," said Anne, trying to change the tension and the topic. Ano ba ang nangyayari at ayaw nilang sagutin?"No," mariing tugon ko. "Kailangan kong malaman kung ano na ang lagay ni Karina." Napasabunot pa ako sa sariling

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED NINE: A beautiful nightmareKARINA'S POVPAPADILIM na ang paligid, bumababa na ang araw kasunod ang pagbaba at pagkuha ko ng pangdipensa ni Zeke sa kanyang sarili. Tuluyan kong naagaw iyon sa kanya."No," pagmamatigas niya at nakababa ang ulo. "Hindi kita kayang pakasalan."Dumilim ang anyo ko sa pagmamatigas niya. "Kung gayon ay isa sa atin ang dapat nang mawala, Zeke."Wala akong pakialam kung hanggang kamatayan o kahit impyerno ay magsama pa kami."Mag-drive ka!" sigaw ko sa driver na napilitang sumunod at minaniobra ang sasakyan. Nakatutok pa rin ang ulo ng baril kay Zeke.Hindi ko napaghandaan ang pang-aagaw rin ni Zeke. Naiputok ang baril at tumama iyon sa isang lalaking nasa harap namin. Bumagsak ito, at hindi ko sigurado kung nawalan na ng malay. Bahala na kung saan siya natamaan. Ang mas mahalaga ngayon ay mapasaakin si Zeke sa kahit na anong paraan. Sisiguraduhin kong wala akong kaagaw.Hindi ako nagpatalo. Pilit kong kinukuha ang baril hanggang muli iyong pumutok. Sa pagkakataong iyon ay tumama naman

Napakuyom ang malamig kong palad nang maalala kung paano pumalpak ang walang kwentang abogado. Ayaw kong makulong si Zeke pero ito na yatang abogado na ito ang pinakawalang kwentang nilalang.
