Days passed, and each one felt unbearably long. This hospital room where I was recovering had started to feel like a prison. The walls felt like they were closing in on me, and I couldn’t move around freely. The physical pain in my head had already faded, but the emotional agony? That one lingered. It was driving me mad.

And how could I not lose my mind? Dorry knew I was here in the hospital, but she never showed up. Not once. Not even a message. I know she’s still angry. I know she hasn’t forgiven me. But I couldn’t stop myself from hoping that maybe she’d come, even just for a visit, to ask how I was. That alone would’ve meant everything to me.

This whole situation was weighing me down. My mind was a mess—torn between guilt over losing our baby and the cold distance Dorry was keeping from me… then there was the mess with my aunt and the company. It was like carrying a mountain on my shoulders. How could I even think straight?

Good thing, though—despite everything—I wasn’t alone. I h

    It was clear he didn’t want to be involved in his parents' scandal. He was completely washing his hands of it.“I honestly don’t know where they are right now, officer. As embarrassing as it is, I barely see my parents anymore. I’ve been busy with my own company, so we only meet during special occasions,” he said, looking like a helpless puppy begging for sympathy.Jac and I exchanged glances. That was exactly what we expected him to say. Hector had always been self-centered. Of course, he wouldn’t allow himself to go down with his parents.“Let’s go! We’re not getting anything useful from this guy. He’s just wasting our time,” I said, but not before shooting one last look at Hector, who returned my stare with a sharp glare of his own.Jac and Diego quickly followed.“Sir, don’t let your anger get the best of you,” Jac said. “The questioning was just a formality. But the authorities will still keep a close watch on him.”“They should,” I replied. “Even if it’s true that he barely sees

    My heart was filled with anxiety as we made our way home. It felt like danger was lurking in every corner we passed—eyes watching us, shadows trailing behind, waiting for the right moment to strike. Call it paranoia, but that’s exactly what I felt. I kept glancing around, making sure the police escorts were still following us.“We’re almost there, sir,” Jac said, noticing how tense I was. “You’re really on edge. You’re not usually like this. The Nelson I know never backs down from a fight.”I glanced at him. “I’m not scared, Jac. I just don’t want to die without seeing Dorry.”And that was the truth. Right now, it felt like my life had a deadline. It’s hard when your mind is overwhelmed with problems and you don’t even know what the solution might be.“We all know, sir, that there are no guarantees in this fight. But you have to trust—this will end eventually.”I just sighed in response. It’s like what happened earlier didn’t faze him at all. Then again, Jac was used to battles. He wa

    My heart pounded rapidly, matching the sound of the gunshots echoing outside the café—each beat a harsh reminder of the danger we were in.We were all crouched under the small tables, trying to stay hidden as the screams of other café customers filled the air, blending with the flickering lights.After several bullets shattered the café’s glass wall, we began to hear the blaring sirens of approaching police vehicles, followed by loud shouts and commands.But the gunfire outside didn’t stop. Whoever those heartless people were, they clearly had no intention of backing down. They shot at the café without hesitation.Everything happening now was proof that we weren’t safe yet, and more people could be caught in the crossfire if this continued. All because of me.The smell of gunpowder now filled the air, thick and suffocating, as bullets continued to fly between the police and the attackers.“Sir, stay down!” Jac yelled as he pulled me back when I tried to stand.I just wanted to see wha

    Our movements were so swift that we could no longer control the pounding of our footsteps, which now echoed throughout the narrow stairwell we were descending.My chest was filled with fear—not just for myself, but for all of us. Still, I forced myself to shake it off. The only thing that mattered now was getting out of this hospital.Finally, we reached the bottom of the stairs. Now we could hear the chaos—people shouting, police sirens wailing.We were now beside the concrete wall at the side of the hospital. The sticky, humid night air wrapped around us, perfectly matching the heat of the tension we were desperate to escape.At last, we found a steel door marked with a bold “No Entry” sign. The bodyguards surveyed the area while Jac worked quickly to unlock the gate.This was our last hope to get out. There was no way we could go back. We were sure the people looking for us had already been alerted. They must’ve heard our hurried footsteps earlier.“This way, hurry!” Jac called out

    We were practically glued to the hospital wall, holding our breath as we watched the chaos erupting in the area where that angry voice had come from earlier. It had stopped us dead in our tracks.The man’s voice had been so loud, I thought we’d been caught. I thought that was the end for all of us—and I hadn’t even seen Dorry one last time. But part of me also thought that if I disappeared, she’d be relieved. At least the burden in her life would be gone.“Nelson, move,” Vianna May whispered, gently shaking the hand she was holding.I didn’t answer, but I started moving, squinting ahead to spot the bodyguards. We were almost out of this hallway, almost past the room. We could already see faint lights from outside. But one of the bodyguards signaled us to step back. I held my breath again, gripping Via’s hand tighter. Diego was holding her other hand.If there was one thing I feared in this whole mess, it was their safety. They can’t get hurt. They had a child waiting for them.We glan
