"My lady! My lady, wake up. You are having nightmares," someone said as that person was slightly tapping the right side of my cheek.

"W-what," I blurted out as I abruptly opened my eyes, catching my breath.

I immediately woke up, gasping.

"You are what?" I continued.

It was a late reaction, and my brain was still in a haze from that weird dream.

"My lady," my butler called my attention, "My lady," he repeated.

"H-huh?" I looked at him, and I can see he is very concerned about my condition.

I clutched my chest, still with heavy breathing.

He gave me a glass of water immediately. I held it with my shaky hands and drank it with one gulp.

I wiped the sweat on my forehead, and shift my gaze on my bedroom clock.

9:45 pm.

"You took a long nap, my lady. It is already nine forty-five in the evening," Butler Wong said.

On my peripheral vision, I noticed that he was holding a telephone. 

"About Patricia, my lady. She called again," he lifted his right hand with the telephone. "Do you want to take it now or I will tell her that you were not feeling well, and she can just call tomorrow?"

"No, it's alright. Give it to me." I extended my left arm motioning him to give me the phone.

He immediately handed it to me and excused himself.

I put the phone to my left ear. 

"Patricia," I called her name, trying my best to act civil.

"At last! Lily, my sister. I've been calling multiple times, and waited for how many hours," she annoyingly replied, "I've found it hard to reach out to you. Your butler said earlier that you are resting. How are you?" 

"What do you want?" I said in a cold tone.

"Is this how you greet your sister?" she replied with fake sobs. I can imagine her sardonic smile at the other end of the line.

Still a brat, I see.

"You are not my sister. I don't have one," I asserted, "Quit the drama, and tell me what do you want. You are wasting my time."

"You don't miss me, my dear sister?" she said in a mocking tone.

Finally, her true colors are showing.

"If you do not have anything important to say, I will hang up then," I responded with my neutral voice, "I'm busy. I have a lot of things to do. Bye."

I was about to put down the phone, when she said, "Wait! Okay, okay. I need your help," she said surrendering.

"You need money," I completed her statement.

"Yes! I knew it, you are really smart, sis," she replied.

"Don't call me that. I am not your sister," I cut her off.

"Fine, but I badly need money can you lend me some?" she shamelessly asked, "As you can see, you are the reason as to why my poor mom is still in the cold cellar. You should take responsibility--"

"For once and for all, I don't have any responsibility in your family, Patricia," I cut her off again. My patience was near its limit. 

"How ungrateful of you, we took care of you when your dad died. We treated you like our real family member, and this is how you pay back?!" she exclaimed in disbelief.

The nerve of this girl. My head ached even more after talking to her.

"Are you that shameless? Your mom was the one who ordered for me to be kidnapped, and I was almost killed for the sake of my father's money," I spat angrily, and ended the call.

I put down the phone, as I rested my head on the bed.

"Butler Wong!" I called for him in a loud voice, "Butler Wong!" I repeated.

He knocked on the door twice, then he came in with a tray of a glass of water, a medicine, and a tuna sandwich.

How thoughtful.

"Thank you, Butler Wong. I was about to request a medicine, but you already brought it here." I gratefully thanked him. "Kindly put it on my side table, and tell Alfred that I will be using the car later," I added as I signaled him to put it on the side table.

He then bowed a little to excuse himself and exited towards the door.

I finished the sandwich first before taking the tablet.

I pushed off the tray to the other side of the table and stood up.

I need to take a shower to cool my head off and reduce the pain.

I took off my sleeping robe and my cloudy pink sienna slip nighties that I ordered from Morgan Lane.

After taking a bath, I went inside my walk-in closet and chose a simple outfit.

I wore a white rib singlet top with a black leather jacket paired with blue denim jeans and white sneakers.

I pulled my hair up, tying it into a loose ponytail. I put on a light powder and a lip balm. After I was satisfied with my look, I immediately went downstairs.

"Butler Wong, please prepare a few candles in a small glass, and a cricket lighter," I ordered him, "I need also a bouquet of fresh white lilies," I added.

"Right away, my lady," he responded politely.

"Good, where is Alfred?" I asked.

"He is waiting on the garage," Butler Wong replied.

"Alright, thanks." I walked out of the main door and greeted Alfred with a smile who was waiting outside.

"Good evening, my lady. Do you want me to accompany you?" he asked.

"Good evening too, Alfred," I greeted him, "No need, I will drive myself. Can I have the keys?" I extended my palm in his direction.

"As you wish, my lady." He gave me the car keys and bowed a little. 

I need to visit my parents tonight.

  • DOOM   The Answers

    “My lady, you look really tired. Would you like to have a tea?” Butler Wong showed up in my room. “Yes, please.” I rested my head on the couch and listened to my favorite song through my headphones. This day is tiring yet confusing at the same time. I don’t understand how fast everything happened. “Crack.” I immediately stood up and my face turned into a poker one as I saw his face. “What are you doing here? I thought you have a work to do?” I asked. He sat beside me. “Don’t you want me here?” I face palmed and he grinned. This guy, really. We both felt each other’s breathing against the heavy silence between us. This feels familiar, ain’t it? “Is school fun?” He asked. I just answered him the usual. “No, as usual. How do you expect me to have fun in a school that is full of rumors circulating and annoying students around?” I don’t know but it feels like we do have this awkward presence for each other and we both don’t know how to make it not an awkward one. “Why did you a

  • DOOM   The Friendship

    “Can I ask one more thing, Lily?” he asked.I nodded my head in response. My eyes drew in confusion when he offered his hand. I wonder why is he doing this?Primo gave me his sincere smile and said, “Can we be friends? Not in a businesslike manner but personally?”I raised my brow and looked at him with suspicion. He raised his two hands as I scanned him from head to toe.“Don’t worry. I don’t have any ill intentions,” He assured.I don’t know if I can fully trust him since he’s just a guy I met due to our deal between the two companies.I scoffed. “Why did you offer me a friendship?” I was really suspicious of his acts and I can’t help but to doubt.He looked straight into my eyes. I blinked twice and he smiled. “You’re nice and I like you.”My heart pounded harder and faster than it usual. But my mind tells me the otherwise about what he said.“I am not nice as you think,” I bitterly replied as I walked away from him.He followed me and I can feel him smiling behind my back.He chuc

  • DOOM   The Apology

    Nothing much pretty will happen this day, I swear.Except that Doom will fetch me later after school. It may not meant anything to him but just seeing him makes me feel this unknown feeling.Maybe being happy because I saw this “one of a kind” friend of mine?Never mind. As I listened to my favorite song, Cardigan by Taylor Swift, I can still hear the students’ gossiping about certain someone.“Do you know that Primo—?”Primo? I’m not surprised, he’s pretty popular to girls.I turned my volume up to maximum 100, not hearing anything. Just peace of silence and the song I am playing of.I walked down to corridors and feeling the chilly breezeway. Good thing, there are no students here. I hate seeing and listening to non-sense things that coming from their mouths.“Hey, Lily.” Speaking of non-sense things. I put down my headphones and asked boringly.“What? Who are you—?”I turn around and saw Primo with a grinning face.What is he doing here? I thought there were no students coming he

  • DOOM   The Eventide

    We left them speechless that night.Doom dragged me out of the scene before I lose the remaining inch of my temper.We were supposed to enjoy the rest of the night, strolling on a night garden that we were supposed to visit. But, I think I had enough drama encountered that my body was too exhausted and literally passed the opportunity of striding the night with Doom."Hold tight," he whispered in my ears as the minty aroma of his breath once again invaded my olfactory senses.I just nodded in reply while looking like a lifeless soul as my eyes roamed around the dark surroundings.He scooped me in a bridal style and we immediately teleported at my house.I slightly massaged my temples due to weariness."Are you sure you are okay?" he asked as he stared at me with a glint of worry from his crimson orbs."Yeah, I'm good," I told him with a small smile, "I'm just-""You're just?" he repeated my last words while waiting for me to continue.

  • DOOM   The Argument

    "So where are we going?" I asked him as he continued to drag me until we are out of sight, "Hey, we don't have a car.""As if we will need that."In a blink of an eye, he let go of his grasp from mine as soon as we found ourselves in the mall.Just as I thought that we will continue to hold hands, he immediately strode fast like a model on a runway and he did not even wait for me."Wow, you were the one who dragged me here and you will just going to leave me?" I whispered to him as I continued to keep up with his pace, " I said, wait up."He faced me with irritation evidently seen in his eyes."It's not my fault you are a slowpoke," he added while clenching his jaw."Doom, you were the one who dragged me here suddenly," I whispered, "And tone down your voice, we are in the public for pete's sake."I immediately left him there and walked fast in the opposite direction.I did not even look back if he followed. I think I'm just too exhausted to deal with anything today.I was about to cal

  • DOOM   The Tension

    The school bell rang which indicated that the class has ended.I packed my stuff in a hurry and immediately went out to the door.I was on the way to the waiting shed when a tall blonde guy blocked my way.“Primo,” I uttered.“Hi Lily, I'm glad that you remembered me,” he greeted and gave me a killer smile as if he was on a commercial advertisement for toothpaste.“Yeah, do you need anything?” I asked while glancing at my watch as I checked the time and peeped behind his back.He also looked back and checked in the same direction where I was looking earlier.“Are you meeting someone?” he asked as he averted his green eyes on me.“Sort of, but I guess that busybody is not here yet,” I replied, “By the way do you need anything?” I repeated.“You.”“What?” I looked at him in confusion.He cleared his throat and said, "What I meant was yo
