Handwritten Destiny Chapter 32
Article I couldn't take my eyes off him even when he was busy with other things. I was never like this before we set sail on that honeymoon. Maybe because we became more intimate with each other? Or was it because he confessed? Even though I'm confused, I can't deny that I'm happy with what's happening. I hate to admit it but I can't deny either that I'm starting to develop something for him. Even when a lot of things are unclear between us, especially his sudden confession of feelings. He had always been straightforward, I'm aware of that. But, something else is bothering me. There was nothing else in my mind but that even in the middle of the presentation by Lideon's employees. They were presenting different designs of buildings. They were great. Even though I don't know much about Architecture, I know how to look at a good work of art. "I heard you personally wanted Mr. David Allen for this project, Mr. Webb?" Lideon's voice is controlled and stern. Only then did I come to my

BurnMy tears fell before I knew it. My body trembled slightly from the sudden burst of emotion. I have never paid attention to what happened after the accident. The only thing I was concerned about during those times was Francis' condition. For once...it didn't occur to me that this could happen."Hey, hey."Lideon tried getting my attention by pulling me from my seat. I couldn't move my body in shock that he had to hold both of my arms to stand up. My tears poured down even more when he hugged me."I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't know. I won't let you do this," he whispered over and over again while I cried into his chest.I couldn't talk properly until I got home. I always end up spacing out thinking about the article and the accident. And the fact that I have to face that man and talk to him bothers me even more."Do you want us to eat out or we'll head home straight?"I went back to my senses when Lideon held my hand. I almost forgot we were in the car going home. I stared at him,

AccidentHis eyes looked like a black hole.That was the first thing I noticed when I saw him. His eyes emit no emotions and all it made me speechless. That's what I keep coming back to as I stare inside the hotel room I booked on my way here. Raul went back to Manila as per my instruction. He didn't even want to agree at first but eventually, he agreed too. Lideon bombarded me with calls all day asking if I was okay. He just finished calling so I have the chance to think now.I couldn't help but feel pity for that man now that I'd seen him. I was also very hurt when Francis died, while he lost his fiancee too in that accident. The article said that his fiancee died on the spot while he was rushed to the hospital and survived.I walked through the small balcony of the room. I was greeted by the cold wind which gave me comfort. My eyes were fixed on the sparkling lights of the different establishments. The road is also busy with passing vehicles.I wonder what it felt like living that
Handwritten Destiny Prologue
Prologue Everything was ordinary and normal in my life until this moment. It occurred to me many times what kind of sin I had committed for this to happen to me when all I wanted was to have a normal and simple life. My dream of having my own family would've become real if that tragedy hadn't happened. "Close your eyes," the make-up artist commanded while putting powder on my face. As I closed my eyes, I silently wished this was all a dream. A nightmare to be exact. And when I open my eyes the light will greet me. I silently hoped that as I opened my eyes, my reality would go back to how it all used to be. "There, it's done." But it was still the same. I couldn't feel my own body and everything around me. I can hear voices but I don't really understand the words. How did I end up in this situation? Why do I have to go through this nightmare? Ah, right. As payment for a debt. I wonder if my decision in doing this for the damn debt is all worth it? "Okay, we're done! Now it's tim

Rainbow What I had was something not perfect but I was content. Although the life I lived was not luxurious, it was happy. It's hard sometimes but it's also manageable. I got so used to the warmth that I wasn't able to brace myself for the cold and dark. That's what became of us when my mother died. She was our warmth and light. Now that she is gone, everything has become dark for me and my father. "Dad, that’s enough. You're drunk," I shook his shoulder. He only answered me with a weak grunt. It's been a few months since Mom died. Since then, this scene is what I always come across every time I come home from school. My drunk dad. The many times he had been like that, I eventually got used to it. I didn't complain every time I came home hungry and there was no food in the kitchen. Sometimes it's morning when he comes home from somewhere, drunk. Everything really turned upside down when my mom left us. "Dad, I'm hungry," I whined one day when I couldn't help it anymore. I really
Handwritten Destiny Chapter 2
Dark I already had a bad feeling about this a long time ago. But I ignored all that and focused on myself. I was too preoccupied with surviving alone that I neglected my duty as a daughter for all those times. Right, maybe it's my fault too. It's my fault that my father went down and got addicted to gambling. It's my fault that I didn't know the things he was doing when he wasn't coming home. With the various emotions I'm feeling, I don't know what to think anymore. I knew that the happiness I felt for the past few days wouldn't last. So it's scary to be happy. Because I know it wouldn't last long. "Almene, help me. They're going to put me in jail. That's a lot of money. I can't afford it. Where am I going to get that much money?" He sobbed as he fell to the floor. I couldn't help myself from crying. Oh damn, why does this have to happen now? "Please, help me. They're going to put me in jail-" "Why?!" I screamed senselessly. I heaved a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. "
Handwritten Destiny Chapter 3
Payment A loud ring deafened my ears. I don't fully understand what my friends are saying. I can see their mouth moving but I can't hear a word they're saying. I became aware of myself being supported by the three of them and from there, my hearing gradually became clearer. "Oh my god, Almene!" I heard Julienne scream. Julienne the Avery held both of my shoulders. The two's cheeks were full of tears. "W-What did you say?" I asked trembling. I can no longer fully balance myself. They both looked away while Nathan tightened his jaw staring at me. I can see pity in his eyes. I tried to get out of their grip and was about to leave the church to go to Francis' family. Avery held me back that's why I turned her hand away in annoyance. "What?!" "Almene..." they said with difficulty. "T-Tell me. W-What happened to F-Francis?" I glared at the three of them and didn't stop until someone broke the silence. "He had an accident on his way here," it was Nathan who managed to break the new

Punishment I stared at the man who had said that for a long time. My brain has not yet processed what I heard. His brows shot up giving me the 'that's the truth' look. I want to stop and speak but no voice comes out of my mouth. Debt payment? Are you fucking kidding me?! I turned to my father to look for explanations but he still looked the same, head down and unable to meet my anger. "Woah..." I exclaimed angrily. I took a step back when I couldn’t feel my strength. "What the fuck?" I cursed in the air. "Really, dad? You can do that to me?" I whispered full of resentment. "Almene, I-I’m so-" "Ha!" I couldn't stop crying in anger. My body is also shaking. "Almene, h-have mercy. T-They're going to put me in jail," he said, losing strength. "B-Believe it or not, it's also against my heart to do this... But where can I get ten million to pay-" "Why did you have such a big debt?!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. Another tear fell freely down my cheek. Here is the man I looked
