Unlike before, my family and I had a happy dinner. If there is something in my heart that is sad because I often remember Quenevere, I ignore it first.For the first time, I decided to spend the night at our house. I went to my room and slowly looked around.Nothing changed. That was the first thing I noticed. The furniture, beds, and other things were not even removed from their places. I sighed and laid down on my bed. I stupidly looked at the ceiling while remembering the fun times Quenevere and I used to have.A few moments later, I heard three knocks at the door. It slowly opened until I saw Daddy's image. He stared at me, then roamed his eyes around my room. He smiled slightly before walking in, closer to me.I got up and then observed his behavior. He sat by my side as silence enveloped the two of us."It was a few years ago..." He broke the silence.I didn't say anything and let him continue."That day, I blamed myself for what happened. I feel like I'm a very useless father
The next day, I could feel the difference in Jairon, like he was restless or something."Are you having diarrhea?" I was curious when I couldn't stand his look anymore.He even beat the one who was about to poop as he sweated it all out. He was at my condo again after he got dressed at his house. I'm currently fixing my appearance in the mirror while watching him rub his hand slowly.He quickly fixed us up and then looked at me. He even smiled at me and shook his head."I am just... excited," he said.My lips twitched because of that. "We often go out on dates, but now you've changed," I said with a shrug.He just laughed, though it seems like he was forced to do it. "Don't mind me. Just continue fixing yourself."I rolled my eyes at him and continued tying my hair. I put a little powder on my face and lipstick to finish my makeup."Let's go." I stood up and held out the mini-bag I had prepared.He looked at me from head to toe and smiled. "Gorgeous," he commented.My cheeks automatic
"What happened to my father?" I asked, sweating despite my body getting cold.Aycxe didn't answer me right away, so I quickly approached her and held her by the shoulder."Tell me... what happened to my father?" I begged to ask.She looked at me sadly. "Your dad's car exploded," she said hoarsely.I felt like a candle had gone out when I heard that. How many times did I repeat what she said in my brain?I'm just dreaming, aren't I?"He's safe, right?" I barely managed to ask with my shattered voice.She slowly moved to avoid my eyes. "I am sorry to tell you . . . dead on the spot."I completely fell in my place. I fell on the sand; my colleagues as well as Jairon quickly supported me, but I didn't pay attention to them.I laughed out loud while my tears started to flow. I shook my head several times and closed my eyes tightly."You're joking, right?" I cried out."The helicopter will be here in five minutes," she informed.I was just dumbfounded. I couldn't imagine that this would hap
"How did this happen?" I weakly asked my friends."They've been planning everything since your father left for Singapore," Aycxe began as she handed me her cell phone.My teeth gritted when I saw the photo. There is a large K, the sign of their group, on the road where Daddy's car exploded. The photo also had a message that made me hate everything.You messed up with my business; now it's time to repay you. - Farro "Why didn't you inform me of your actions alone?" Aycxe asked coldly.I was consumed by remorse for my secrecy before. I couldn't answer Aycxe's question; instead, I sat on the floor, feeling weak. Noella, Shiela, and Sophia quickly came to my aid.I silently burst into tears. "It's my fault. It's all my fault.""No one expected this, Rose. Stop blaming yourself," Sophia said while tapping my shoulder.I shook my head. "If... if I had said what I did before. I hope we were alert to their movements. I know I've been careless lately. I became too complacent; I focused too mu
I woke up in a white room. I processed everything for a while and slowly looked around. I saw my friends standing on the corner; only Sophia was sitting on an empty seat. Maybe she just got here this morning because she wasn't there last night. Something I understand because of her situation. They were all looking at the ground as if they were deep in thought.My mother, who was curled up on the side of my bed, did not escape my sight either. I weakly placed my hand on my stomach and closed my eyes tightly.Are you still there?"Hija," my mother whispered. Maybe she woke up because of my movement.I slowly turned my attention to her and to them. They all watched me with sadness in their eyes."He's safe, isn't he?" I rasped curiously.No one answered my question; I automatically closed my eyes and silently burst into tears."Another person I was unable to protect," I said weakly, squirming."Quennie, don't speak like that. You didn't like what happened," Mommy said calmly and sweetly
I am ready to end my life. Just one step and I will fall completely into the deep river. That's how I was surprised when a strong force pulled me back and locked me in a strong body."Fuck! Damn it!" a familiar voice exclaimed."J-Jairon?" I stuttered calling his name.He loosened his grip on me, then worriedly checked my whole body. "Are you okay?" he asked.I cried even more. I hit him lightly on the chest and pushed him."Why are you here? Why did you stop me?"He hugged me again and pulled me tightly. "Bae, this is not the solution to all your problems," he murmured as he kept kissing my head.I tried to struggle, but I was tightly locked in his arms. "Let me die, Jairon. I don't deserve to live," I mumbled in the middle of my sobs."Ssshhh. I get it; you're emotionally stressed. Please rest, Quennie. Stop thinking this sh*t."I weakly stopped untying him and just cried and cried. "You don't understand, Jairon. It's hard... it's hard to wake up every moment knowing that I killed..
Now I fully understand Sophia's rash behavior. Who wouldn't jump right in if your loved one's life was at stake?I tried to calm myself while preparing my equipment. I have also called my colleagues so that we can develop a plan properly.My enemy is a traitor, and whether I bring a companion or not, I know they will still torture me. Even though my system was being eaten by nervousness and fear, I tried to shake it off. I know they won't kill Jairon immediately because he is the one they will use as bait. That's how they take revenge; that's how they act; their brutality is felt.The ringing of the doorbell grabbed my attention. I first checked my tablet connecting to the camera to make sure it was my friends and not the enemy. I immediately went out when I saw their images on the screen.We greeted each other with serious stares the moment they entered my house. I'm not surprised that Sophia is with her partner. They sat on the couch and waited for whatever I had to say."Like what
Farro laughed and clapped his hands joyfully as he watched me beg. "I didn't expect you to willingly kneel in front of me. You give up so easily, bomber?" he sneered.I didn't speak yet. I let him go on and on."What are you doing, Rose?" Aycxe asked angrily on the line."Please, just let me. Don't involve him in this," I begged again.Farro played with his jaw with his finger and signaled his staff to bring Jairon closer to his place.I remained on my knees with my shoulders slumped, watching what was happening. Jairon and I looked at each other, and I could see in his face the objection to what I was doing."Did you know that I even had an expert make this bomb?" Farro is referring to the bomb attached to Jairon.He walked towards me and bent down to hold my jaw tightly. "Just for you," he added, and he gently released my face."Tie it up!" he ordered his staff.They quickly moved closer to me."Bae!" Jairon called worriedly.Two men pulled me up and dragged me to a chair. They thre
