You might have forgotten that I hold the evidence that could bring you down. With just one word and the evidence I have, you’ll lose everything… I’m not threatening you, Anthony. I’m simply telling you what I’m capable of doing… And why should I listen to you? You tri

I’m simply telling you what I’m capable of doing… And why should I listen to you? You tried to kill Ryan before! Don’t you think it’s time I got my revenge? I’ll kill the woman you two brothers are both obsessed with!”Kacee slowly opened her eyes when she heard a faint voice coming from outside.A sharp pain immediately shot through her head when she moved. Her vision was still blurry, so she blinked several times until her surroundings finally came into focus.She was in an unfamiliar place.Kacee tried to sit up, but a stin
“Are you out of your mind?” Kacee asked Anthony in disbelief. “Why would I let you take responsibility for the child I’m carrying?”“Because that’s the best thing you can do for the baby right now,” he replied seriously.“No, Anthony. I don’t need someone else to claim my child as his own. If there’s anyone who needs to protect this baby, it’s me,” she said firmly.“Kacee—”“I don’t know what’s happening to you or why you’re acting like this,” she interrupted him. “But please, don’t destroy whatever respect I still have left for you.”After saying that, she turned her back on him. But just as she was about to walk away, he stopped her again.“Kacee,” he called, grabbing her arm.“Let go of me,” she immediately demanded, pulling away from him.He froze for a momen
“Hello? Brie?”“Kacee!”“Did you call?”“Well, Ryan has been asking me about you since earlier,” Briana replied from the other end of the line. “Are you two fighting? He’s been calling me over and over, asking where you are. He even kept trying to get your number from me. Aren’t you two talking? Why doesn’t he know your phone number?” Briana asked one question after another.“Ah... we’re just having a little misunderstanding—”“You were together just last night, weren’t you? What happened? Did that man do something bad to you?”“N-No. Nothing happened. We’re just having a little misunderstanding,” Kacee lied to Briana.“Are you sure?”“I’ll tell you everything later, Brie. For now, just leave him alone. Don’t worry about him,” Kacee told her.“
Kacee parked her car on the fourth floor of the parking area in her apartment building. She glanced at Ryan, who seemed to have completely fallen asleep.She let out a deep sigh as she watched him. Her heart continued to pound hard because of him.Kacee took her cellphone from her handbag and called Briana using the number she had gotten from their Messenger chat earlier. After only a few rings, Briana answered.“Hello, Kacee? Where are you? Are you close?” Briana asked as soon as she answered the call.“Uhm... Brie... I-I’m sorry,” Kacee said softly.“Why? Can’t you make it? Did something happen?” Briana asked worriedly.“It’s Ryan... he’s with me right now,” Kacee confessed.Briana had no idea about the problems Kacee was currently going through with Ryan. She didn’t know that they were no longer together, nor did she know about Gladys’s pregnancy wi
Kacee didn’t realize how quickly time had passed. She was simply staring at the screen of her laptop while sitting at her desk when someone suddenly knocked on the door of her office. A moment later, the door opened, and Mikay and Jema appeared.“It’s time to go home. Do you still have work to finish?” Mikay asked her.“Ah... n-not anymore. I’m going home too,” Kacee replied.“Are you okay? You look really pale,” Jema said.“I’m fine. It’s just because I haven’t been getting enough sleep. That’s why I’m going home now so I can get some rest,” Kacee replied.“Are you sure?” Jema asked, making sure she was really okay.“Of course. Go ahead and leave first. Be careful on your way home,” Kacee said with a smile as she bid them goodbye.Eventually, the two of them left.Kacee began gathering her things, preparing t
“The doctor hasn’t come out yet,” Myrna replied to Ryan’s question.Ryan’s gaze remained fixed on Kacee, and a few moments later, his mother arrived as well. She hurried toward them, clearly frantic.“What happened to Gladys? What happened to my grandchild?” Ryan’s mother asked Myrna anxiously.“She’s still inside. Her doctor hasn’t come out yet,” Myrna replied.“But what happened? Why was she bleeding?”Myrna fell silent for a moment before finally answering. “It was my fault,” she said, shocking Kacee.“W-What? What do you mean it was your fault?” Ryan’s mother asked in disbelief.“I didn’t mean to. I accidentally hurt her earlier. I pushed her,” Myrna said, covering for Kacee.Kacee’s lips parted in shock at her mother’s confession.“Why weren’t you more careful, M
“Who’s this admirer of yours?” Jema asked, leaning closer to peek at the card Kacee was holding.Kacee quickly hid it from Jema.“He’s not my admirer,” Kacee said.“Oh, please! Then why won’t you show us who it’s from?” Jema pressed.“You know, I still have a lot of work to finish. Come on, we’ll t
Kacee felt a sharp pain in her head and body, prompting her to slowly open her eyes. Her vision was blurry, so she closed them again, then reopened them after a moment.She exhaled heavily. When her sight finally cleared, she blinked several times. She studied the ceiling above her, then slowly let
Kacee massaged both temples as she let out a deep breath. Her eyes squeezed shut tightly as she read the messages Rea had sent her.From: ReaMs. Samiano, Architect Dyllan refuses to start the meeting unless you’re present.From: Rea
Fear and panic overwhelmed Kacee as she continued rushing toward the hospital. Tears streamed down her face, and no matter how hard she tried to stop them, they refused to fall away.Moments later, she arrived at the hospital her mother had told her about. She immediately headed straight for the em
