Walking inside Dora's room, he expected to find Sylvie beside her, but she wasn't. Maybe she went to the terrace. He went to check if she was fine and found her standing safely behind the grill, her back in his direction. He didn't disturb her and went back to Dora who was still sleeping. Sitting beside her, he stroked her hair thinking about the word Sylvie told but he ignored it in between the argument. 'Boyfriend' she had said. How did she get to know? Guess this little girl was smart. He scoffed and looked at Dora's eyes which were closed. He was yearning to see her Hazel orbs but seeing her like this, he found her adorable. —Frederick's POV— She smiled. When I looked at her, I couldn't help myself but wonder what was she dreaming about. Are you dreaming about me? So silly of me. You'd even be hitting me in your dreams for god knows which fault I committed. I scoffed at my thoughts leaning back, still stroking her cheeks. They're not wet because of tears but I could feel her
The light creeping into the ocean shadows, the long strings reaching the depth were visible to my naked eyes when I kept drowning with no hope of another day. I kept floating.Thoughts were swirling in my head but I could ignore them as I felt my lungs filling up and my nerves stinging with sharp pain before relaxing. I was going numb.Surrendering to the waves of the deep oceans, I closed my eyes and the corner of lips lifted up. I was finally free.Free from betrayal, free from humiliation, free from being a weakling, free from this toxic world.And I thought those would be last thought before I felt cold air invading my lungs and I coughed heavily shaking my vocal cords. I felt a hand rubbing my back but I kept breathing as in instinct. But I was in rage. I was on the land because someone had decided to be a helpful human and help me out of the water as if that was what I actually wanted. Where do good and kinds humans go when you actually need them?I looked up to find a group of
I returned back home with a deep sorrow for deciding to end things in such a rush. It was indeed a hasty decision and I was too self centred to just think about myself when I had someone who looked up to me all the time.Gabrialla. My little bean. Even though she recently had a coming age of ceremony but I still see the little girl before my eyes when she smiles, when she cries, and when she holds the whole universe in her eyes. Gabrialla needed me to have the universe in her eyes. Because I agree or not, I was her life. And I was too cruel to take that one thing away from her when she found purpose of her life in someone else."How's college?" I asked the girl who now had calmed down and gulped down the whole glass of water."It's okay." She whispered and looked at me. "You won't do something like that again, right?" The little girl asked."No." I replied softly and kissed her forehead."Can I trust you?" She asked, breaking my heart."Yes." I answered. I felt a pang in my heart wit
As if the heavy burden was never on my body and I never lost my breath, I jerked up from my sleep with my eyes wide and breathing shallow.The first thing, my eyes noticed was the photo frame hanging just in front of my eyes on the wall ahead which showed me and my sister laughing at each other while hugging and our hair were made into something funny.I frowned and looked around to see a huge room, probably the size of my studio apartment and the clear full moon shining outside my window on the other side of my closed curtains.I heard a knock followed my the click and the door flung open showing a tall figure."What is it, Yun?" A sleepy deep voice spoke, while rubbing his eyes. "Another nightmare?" He added.The horror now was not being at an unknown place, which looked like it belonged to me, but the man's identification."You...you..." I shivered to even take his name from my tongue. The land owner, my bully since high school, was standing casually and asking me a question which
"Now will you please tell me what's wrong?" A soft voice from behind me spoke and caught my attention. Mia looked at me with tired eyes that woke up just because of me but lips held a slight smile in assurance that everything was okay now. But what was wrong? Didn't I just get smashed under the heavy bricks and rods? Why is this situation so different from my everyday life? Where's Gabriella? "I...don't understand..." I muttered, biting my lips and trying to recall if my memory was a dream and if I remembered any of this life or this right was a dream. "What is it that you do not understand?" Calvin asked softly and cupped my cheeks. I pushed his hands away slowly and sighed. "Everything!" I answered honestly, ignoring the fact that none of them would understand what I meant. Not that I was gonna explain anything anyway. "What do you mean?" Mia asked, frowning. "Nothing. Can I be alone, please?" I asked, pulling my knees to my chest. "Are you okay, babe?" Calvin asked. "Yeah."
I opened my eyes to the surroundings of white ceiling and walls and four people looking at me with concern. I was laying on the hospital bed with white sheets covering my body and dim lights accompanied by the sunrays lightening the room.I took a deep breath in the silence andWhere was my sister? Mia walked closer. She touched my forehead and smiled."Fever's gone." She turned around and said to others. My eyes wandered at each of the faces. Mia, who's eyes looked red and puffy — she had cried. Calvin looked equally scared as her, hair still a mess. Alice, who had sadness in her brown orbs, was standing across the wall with her hands folded before her. The man who I didn't know was rather looking differently at me.Though he was concerned but he seemed to have a doubt in me. He was suspiciously eyeing me as if wanting me to answer his questions which were unasked."Yuna...babe." Mia called softly and I looked at her. I was confused and my mind felt foggy with all questions and surrou
I looked up at the man sitting on a red velvet chair placed upon the stairs and I heard murmurs among the people sitting around me. I tried to stand up and I had frown."Excuse me?!" I exclaimed trying my best to sound tough. The murmurs increased."Are you sure you want to use that tone to talk to me, my lovely Luna?" He asked in a rather dark tone and my knees started shivering."What tone do you think I should use?" I said as my voice came out shaky.I looked up at him and he was fuming. His eyes turned golden and his fist were clenched tight on his knees."Dismiss." He ordered in a heavy tone and everyone rushed out of the hall as if scared of the man and just wanted to save their lives. The huge door behind me closed and the man stood up from his throne, making his way to me.My legs, as if having their own mind, took several steps back as he kept getting close to me. He reached to me before I could break the eye contact and run and grabbed a fist of my hair pulling my face close
It hadn't been long that I was about to doze off in that cozy luxurious room, I heard the door click open and I hastily took a defensive stance. In a hurry I took anything as a form of weapon I could and managed to grab a beside table lamp.I stood up on the bed when my eyes landed on a man who wore a navy blue suit enter with a mad face and messy hair walk in. I frowned at his appearance while he was fuming with anger."What are you doing here?" He whispered-yelled before walking inside and did not forget to close the door behind him and securing it with a lock."What do you mean?" I carefully questioned reminding myself not to ask him who he was assuming that he already knew me. "Don't play dumb! Why did you return?" He gritted his teeth while keeping his ground."I don't understand! What did I ever promise to you?" I repeated. If I had to have a conversation with this I needed to know what this body's owner did before I took her place. "You promised to leave lord Astrid alone and
