Chapter 68: Falling Deeper
Sand KastleFor those of you who may not remember, Thomas and Catalina are Adriel's parents! I really despise their characters so much, but I think their issues need to be fully resolved before Adriel can completely heal as a person.

Adriel woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of a familiar ring tone. It's a sound that she hadn't heard for years but would always make her tremble whenever she heard it. She instantly sobered up from her sleep as she looked at the caller ID. There's really no mistaking—it was her mother who was calling her—her mother who never called her for the past four years. "Angel?" Zeth groggily said when he saw that Adriel was breathing heavily next to him. He sat up from bed and looked at the woman's frightened face. "What's wrong?" he gently asked. Adriel couldn't say anything. She just kept staring at the phone, wondering if she was currently stuck in a nightmare. Zeth glanced over at the phone and cursed under his breath. "Angel," he shook her. "It's over, angel," he said when the ringtone finally died down. "W—why would she be calling me?" she stuttered, still dazed. Zeth clicked his tongue and wrapped his arms around her body, wanting to make sure that she felt safe. "I d

Zeth anxiously bit his nails as they got nearer and nearer to the villa—the first place where they had met. Adriel brought the window down so she could enjoy the fresh breeze of the province. The first time she went here, she couldn't appreciate the simple and rural lifestyle; but coming back here made her feel like this was the life that she wanted to live. She turned to the anxious Zeth and let out a chuckle. "What are you so nervous for?" she asked. "We're only meeting your grandpa." "That's the point," Zeth exclaimed. "Do you know how scary he is when he gets mad?" Adriel frowned. "Why would he be mad at you?" "Angel," he said in an obvious tone. "I didn't treat you well in the beginning, so I wasn't able to witness Zenon's growth. Aside from that, I hid the fact that I had a child from him. He's going to give me an earful once we get home." Adriel burst out in a fit of laughter. "Oh, this is going to be gold! Maybe, this is what you deserve," she teased. Zeth sighed. "Ma

"I told you this was a bad idea," Zeth grumbled as he looked at all the preparations that his grandfather did for Zenon's birthday. Adriel sighed beside him. "It was an innocent suggestion! I didn't know that he would go to such lengths." "You've seen his 80th birthday! He never settles for anything less than extraordinary. That's how he became successful and rich," Zeth said. Adriel shook her head. "It's alright. Let's just enjoy it. It looks like Zenon is enjoying it anyway," she said, gesturing to her son, who was looking at all the interior decoration with wonder.Grandpa Earl practically made Zenon's dream place. The entire hall was covered with the cartoon characters that he liked, and there were also a variety of activities and games laid out for the children—face painting booths, photo zones, arcade machines, and many more."Do you like it?" Grandpa Earl asked the young child with a smile on his face.Zenon enthusiastically nodded his head. "I love it, grandpa! Thank you!"H

The Gray family, along with Adriel and Zenon, are sitting around the table, peacefully eating their breakfast. Milo chuckled when Zenon spilled some of the milk on his shirt. He took out a napkin and wiped the wet area. "Be careful, buddy," he reminded. "I'm sorry," Zenon apologetically said. "It's alright," he ruffled his hair, smiling as Zenon continued eating. Grandpa Earl smiled as he watched the scene in front of him. "Maybe, we should keep Zenon here. This is the kindest that I've seen Milo ever since he hit puberty." "Granddad," Milo rolled his eyes. "But, could we really do that? Can we keep Zenon here?" "No," Zenon cutely shook his head. "I'll only stay where mommy and daddy are staying." Adriel chuckled and pinched his cheeks. "You don't want to play with Milo anymore?" Zenon looked at Milo with wide eyes. "I do! I also love playing with grandpa so let's go here once again mommy!" he enthusiastically exclaimed. "Of course, bud," Zeth responded. "We'll come he

"Get out." Grandpa Earl had enough. "Get out of my house," he stood up from his seat and pointed his cane at both Lauren and Lewis. "I tolerate your presence because you're my son's wife, but if you keep on acting like this, I don't have a problem forgetting you and my son, too," he said with all sincerity. Lewis' eyes wavered a little bit, and he held onto Lauren's arm, dragging her out of the villa despite her unwillingness to go. "Let go," she said, struggling to get out of his hold. "Honey, let's go back here when you're calm, alright? We don't want to continue this conversation with a hot head." "I don't care. I've made up my mind," she stubbornly said. "Honey, please," he said in a desperate voice. Zeth looked away from them. He hates how pathetic his father looks right now. Even up until now, when Lauren is clearly in the wrong, he's still willing to be patient with her. "Fine," Lauren finally caved in. "But, this is not the last time that you'll be seeing us. And just

"Aria?" Cedric asked when he saw the familiar woman standing in front of a closed door. She had the back of her head against the door, and she was anxiously dialing someone on her phone. Her eyes widened in surprise when she saw Cedric standing not far away from her. "Cedric?" she stopped leaning on the door and fixed her posture. "What are you doing here?" she asked. He scratched the back of his head. "I live here," he said. "What?" she asked, shocked to hear the new information. "I live here with my cousin too," she said. "We've been living on this floor for about two months. How come I've never seen you around these parts?”"Oh," Cedric said. "Kian and I's unit are actually on the top floor. We just have a couple of friends here, so we went down to greet them." "Ah," Aria nodded her head. "So, you're the noisy bunch from room 304?" Cedric bit his lips. "My apologies for the inconveniences we've made," he bowed his head. "Those people are just quite enthusiastic when it comes

“You just finished what?” Aria asked when Cedric didn’t finish his sentence.He remained frozen while looking at her. His sweatshirt practically swallowed her figure whole. From his view, it looked like she wasn’t wearing any shorts since the sweatshirt covered them. Paired with her messy bun and bare face, Cedric couldn’t help but gawk at her for a second.“Cedric?” Aria nudged his shoulders, causing him to finally snap out of his trance.“Umm yeah?” he said, his eyes still kind of dazed.“What did you just finish?”Cedric closed his eyes to recall what he wanted to say but eventually found his mind blank. “Uhh—do you want to watch some TV?” he asked after a while, completely forgetting his past thought process. Aria beamed and excitedly sat down on the couch. “Sure!” she said. “Do you have some snacks?”“Let me get some from the kitchen,” he said. With that, he left Aria all alone in the living room without even hearing her response.As soon as he got there, he leaned against the c

“Mom,” Zeth’s voice was heard all around the room.The two women turned around, shocked to hear his voice.“Zeth?” Lauren said with wide eyes. “You’re back already? How much did you hear?”“Enough to know that you’re scheming to ruin our family once again.”“Don’t argue in front of the children,” Grandpa Earl said. “Let’s go,” he said to Milo and Zenon, leading them up the stairs and leaving the three of them all alone.“I know that you’re a shitty person, but I never knew that you’d stoop this low. Milo is your son!” he exclaimed. “How can you say something like that about him?”Lauren crossed her arms in front of her chest. “I’m just telling the truth.”“And what was that—about me marrying somebody else? How can you decide something like that for me?”Lauren let out a deep breath and walked closer to Zeth, holding onto his hands. “This is the best for you, Zeth. Trust me—you don’t want to marry someone who can’t contribute to your social status.”“Don’t make me into like you, mom. I
