"Stop staring at me Dave. With my state right now, I don't need your questions."
I wiped the tears from my cheeks and looked out of the moving car.My mind is going back to Mav's unit and to the scenes after that. How I wish I could erase the pain in his eyes but as far as I want to do it, my responsibility stops me.I think Maverick's angry face will be planted in my head. Gone is the warmth in his eyes as he looked at me. Suddenly, the care and the passion I always read in his eyes since we were on the island are lost. It was replaced by anger, bitterness, and disgust. His eyes became cold to me. Earlier, I saw no sign that he believed me. It's all doubt all over his face. I can't blame him for that. I did it to myself. I did it to us.He looked at me from the driver's seat."I actually quite have an idea. I turned on the device when you know.. You know.. You guys are so noisy so for the sake of my well-being, I turned itRelated chapters

"Mom." I held my mother by her shoulder while she's happily playing with her granddaughter in the living area. Her face is filled with joy while rocking the five -month -old baby in her arms. I smiled when I saw the contentment on her face.Who knew the great Isabella Andrado-Fuentebella will retire to business just to solely tend her years in pampering her grandchildren? Surely not the young me who witnessed how tight and disciplinarian she is. She was even more cruel than my father. He never dared to go against my mother. She is the rule of the house. No one can say otherwise. I still remembered how we shivered because we didn’t reach our quota grades in elementary.Those were the days. When we were in our high school years, Gideon and I would always top the class. But I lost it all out when I'm in college. I became a rebel son before ultimately knowing my way back home. My mother drastically changed when dad died. Her views in life

I felt so heavy. Something is weighing me down. My lips were dry. I tried to swallow saliva. I opened my eyes and studied the place. White ceilings and pendant chandeliers were the first things that immediately popped up in my sight. I squinted. The light hurts my eyes. I moved my hand but something stopped me. I looked at my side and saw Maverick's face. He sat in a chair next to the bed and rested his head on the mattress. He's holding my hand. I closed my eyes and mentally pinched Dave. That kid is such a brat. I already told him not to inform Maverick. I looked up and examined the sleeping man. His position is really uncomfortable. His eyebrows are slightly raised and his forehead is furrowed. I smiled while reaching for the crease on his forehead and straightening them out. I then straightened his eyebrow and spent a few minutes just staring at his face. He is definitely troubled. I can tell by his expression that something is really bothering him.

"Sir, we have him already," Jex informed me.I stopped pouring the milk in the glass when I heard what he said. I glanced at Femella who has put all her focus on building the puzzle. She crashed to the floor wearing my t-shirt. It's been three days since she's been with me and so far, she's recovering fast."Did you file the necessary charges? I want him forever locked."The contents of the milk carton were thrown away by the tightness of my grip on it. Femella’s appearance that night played on my mind. She's pale, almost lifeless in my arms. That image will keep me haunted forever and it's all because of that man. He’s going to pray to whoever his god is because I’m just not going to stop here. I know this is deeper than this. I strongly believe that the conversation I witnessed between Lagma and Fem had something to do with what happened."Yes, sir. Already taken care of.""Good. I'll be there."I ended the call and wiped

I've been staring at my cell phone for a few minutes now but I'm still not moving from standing in the middle of the living room. Dave's call had ended earlier but I was still looking at nothing. My heart is heavy with my choice.I glanced around Maverick's unit. On a corner is a display of his family pictures. There's a picture of the Fuentebella family and another picture of him on his graduation in college.I walked over to the area and picked up the picture frame. I caressed Maverick's smiling face. His smile is so wide that it radiates out from the picture. I didn't realize that I just smiled too.I remember what he told me earlier. He wants me to open up to him. But how am I going to do that if he still doesn’t want to hear me about what I know about his past? I know that I can't fully share my past with him without touching that memory.I sighed. "Mom, Dad. Why did you put me in this dilemma?"The ring of the phone broke the s

I got up from the bed and scratched my head. I'm sweaty and breathless as I'm having those episodes of nightmare again. My nightmare now was strange compared to the previous nights. I haven't woken up in the middle of the night for a few days. I usually wake up in the morning, and all I remember is the dream. I thought about my dream. The same girl in every dream is calling my name. She's asking for my help while a big man is dragging her out of the dented car. I tried to reach for her to help, but I couldn't move my whole body, which was stuck to the steering wheel. I was numb from the pain caused by our collision with a concrete barrier. I feel like I was so worthless during those times. I could do nothing but listen to the woman's faint cry. And then silence. I fought the urge to fall into sleep, but the numbness in my head is throbbing. I closed my eyes and welcomed the deafening silence. And then I woke up,

"Mav." I held him by the arm just as it was time to go down after the valet opened the limousine door. I glanced at the red carpet below us."Why? What's wrong? " This prompted the valet to close the door again. Mav gave me his full attention. He took my cold hand and rubbed it on his hand." Hey, look at me. What's wrong? "I first swallowed the blockage in my throat and fixed my perfectly made hair before responding."I'm scared. Can you just go ahead? It's like I'm going to throw up in here. Please?" I pleaded.He gave me a reassuring smile that sent his message that he understood me. "Nonsense. You don't have to worry. My family is kind, especially my mother. They will love you like I do." He cupped my face while his fingers were caressing my cheek. "And besides, I'll here all night for you. I won't leave you. Hell, I'll go with you, even in the powder room. "His hand went down to my neck and massaged it. "Relax. I won't leave you.

I immediately started to maneuver my Ford Mustang when Luther lowered the race flag. Cholo did not give up and his Porsche also fired up and accompanied me on the race track.We have a close fight. There are times when he overtakes me, but I easily get the advantage again.I grinned when he lowered the window and shouted at me. "Dude, just chill! Don't take it too seriously! You might even burn your car. You'll have to pay me for that!""Keep on dreaming, man!" I shouted back.I changed my gears and accelerated my speed. Just a few turns and downs before we see the finish line. In the distance, I saw Luther sitting on the ground while taking pictures. The guy is into photography these days. Tomorrow, maybe his hobby will be different.Just another lap is remaining before the finish line, so I'm comfortable that I'll win. Cholo is close behind me, but I can still widen our gap.The ringing tone of my cellphone on the dashboar

"So what do you think, Lagma? Do you accept my proposal?"He just watched me from his while leaning on the swivel chair. His face didn't change even a bit when I told him about the proposal.Finally he stood up, lit a cigarette and went back to his seat in his lavish office in a high-rise building."I'll just repeat what you said earlier because I may be deaf. Maybe it's an effect of my few days staying at the construction site." He inhaled the smoke and puffed it to the side. "You want me to release Trisha in your place. You want to take your sister's place in exchange for her freedom, am I right?"I smiled at him and folded my arms. "Right. You got it too. So? What do you think? Besides, I really should be your target, right? Not Trisha."He emitted smoke again, this time on my face. I covered my nose."Yup, it's a very good proposal, I must admit. But I can't trade anything for you
