As soon as Beatrix woke up, the first thing she does is think.Beatrix couldn't get Charis out of her mind. She had been overthinking about her friend's life for days. What could have happened to make Charis run away from the pack of men like that? And why did she choose to disappear into the night instead of seeking help from the people she knew would always have her back?Beatrix had always known Charis to be a strong, independent woman, but lately, she had noticed that her friend had been struggling. Charis seemed to be carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders, and Beatrix couldn't help but feel guilty for not noticing sooner.As Beatrix walked along the shore, her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the crashing waves. She looked out into the vast ocean and felt a sense of peace wash over her. But even the calming waves couldn't ease her mind.She thought about all the times she and Charis had spent together, laughing, dancing, and having a great time. They had been
3rd P.O.V.Beatrix felt a knot form in her stomach as she watched Charis walk away with the group of men. She knew she had to talk to her friend, but she also didn't want to make a scene in front of the strangers.Taking a deep breath, she approached Charis once the men had disappeared from sight. "Charis, can we talk?"Charis stopped in her tracks and turned to face Beatrix. "What do you want to talk about?"Beatrix hesitated, unsure of how to broach the subject. "I just wanted to check in on you. Are you okay?"Charis rolled her eyes again. "Of course, I'm okay. Why wouldn't I be?"Beatrix frowned. She could tell that something was off about Charis, but she didn't want to push too hard. "Well, you just seemed...distant lately. Is everything going alright with you and Harley?"Charis scoffed. "Harley? He's the least of my problems right now."Beatrix was taken aback by Charis' sudden bitterness towards her husband. "What do you mean?"Charis hesitated before finally speaking. "I just
3rd P.O.V.Beatrix was excited to finally go home after being confined in the hospital for days. Apollo came to visit her every day, and he even brought her favorite flowers and snacks. Beatrix was grateful for his presence, and she felt a sense of comfort every time he was around.As they left the hospital, Apollo suggested they go to the nicest restaurant in town to celebrate Beatrix's homecoming. Beatrix was hesitant at first, feeling that they didn't need to spend so much money, but Apollo insisted.Once they arrived at the restaurant, Beatrix was taken aback by its grandeur. She had never been to a place like this before, and she felt a bit out of place in her casual clothes. However, Apollo reassured her that she looked beautiful and that she deserved to be treated like a queen.They were seated in a private room with a beautiful view of the city. The table was set with the finest silverware and crystal glasses. The waiters were attentive, and the chef personally came to their t
3rd P.O.V.Apollo and Beatrix arrived at Grandma's house in the morning. Donny was already waiting at the door, dressed in his favorite superhero costume."Hey, little man," Apollo said, picking up Donny and giving him a hug."Hi, Dad!" Donny said, grinning from ear to ear.Beatrix smiled at the sight of them. "Are you ready to go visit Charis at the hospital?" she asked Donny.Donny's face fell. "Is Auntie Charis sick?" he asked."She's feeling a little under the weather, but we're going to bring her some flowers and make her feel better," Beatrix explained.Donny perked up at the idea of giving Auntie Charis flowers. "Can I pick the flowers?" he asked."Of course," Apollo said, ruffling his son's hair.They drove to the hospital, with Donny eagerly pointing out every flower he saw on the way. When they arrived, they made their way to Charis's room. She was lying in bed, looking weak and tired."Hey, Charis," Beatrix said, placing the flowers on the bedside table.Charis tried to smi
RIX P.O.V“Rix, table number 6!” Harley, our bartender shouted."Coming!"I picked up the tray containing beer and some food before heading to table 6."Here you go gentlemen!" I put their order to their table.“Thank you Rix!” One of them shouted.I winked at them before returning to the counter. The bar where I work is full as usual, it has just opened but it seems that the name became famous among the people already. Thanks to that, it was not difficult for the management to get a customer, we’re also grateful because apart from more customers and good business, our manager is kind enough to give us a bonus apart from our salary. Just like today, the night isn't that deep yet but the place is almost full.People don't care about the expensive entrance fee, drinks and other services."Rix, room 3 please!"I went to the counter again to pick up the order. It isn't much this time. A bucket of ice, an expensive drink and a few snacks are the only included.Looks like someone's going
RIX P.O.V"Good morning Rix," nurse Joana greeted me."Good morning too."Several other nurses greeted me as I walked down the hallway. Carrying the bouquet I had bought from the florist that I passed. I went to Andrei's room.It was on the second floor of the building. When I arrived, I found the nurse watching over my brother's condition. She's fixing items inside Andrei's room."Good morning, nurse Josi," I said.She also greeted me back. I put the flower on the table next to the hospital bed."How is Andrei?"She smiled at me, "He's okay, Rix. He'll get better soon as long as he continues his medicine."I smiled at what I heard. "Thank you."We talked a little more before she said goodbye and that she still needed to do more rounds with other patients.I approached my brother after the nurse left. Compared to his appearance when I first brought him here, he is in good condition now. He is no longer that thin and pale.“Get well, Drei….” I caressed his forehead. It's been almost
RIX P.O.V The man beside me said, would he be just fine if this man kill's me? I want to shout at them but I am too afraid because they're holding a gun right now. I can feel that I am too powerless and I am just a small prey standing between them."I will really shoot her." Said by the man in front of me again.No, please… Don't shoot me! Please! Don't do this to me, I am innocent!"I told you I don't care if you shoot her, so do it."The man beside us points the gun he is holding to the man in front of me.What is he doing?Isn't he supposed to help me? I didn't do anything wrong to deserve this!I look at him with pleading eyes but he seems not to notice me because his attention is directed to the man in front of me."Shoot her, I will kill you no matter what anyways." The man in front of me looks hesitant. He looks mad but there's something in his eyes showing that he is having a hard time shooting me.Please don't shoot me! I close my eyes as I don't want to see this anymore.
RIX's P.O.V "Ha…" I opened my eyes because I felt the sweat on my neck. It's early in the morning but I am sweating… I suddenly remembered what happened yesterday and the other day. There are lots of nerve wrecking events that happened and if my life is in a movie I am sure that I would be famous by now because of the plot twists and life lessons in my life. Sometimes, I wonder what my life would be like if both my parents didn't die. Will I be professional in the field that I chose? Maybe if both of my parents are still alive they are giving us the love and care that we need then I don't need to do something like this. I know that my father left a huge sum of debt to us but for sure if they're still alive they will not let us suffer like this. Although my parents seem to be troublesome, they never neglected us and they never wished for us to suffer at a young age. They're working hard even though the number of work that they know is limited, they never went home without fo
