After that brief exchange between Jac and Hernan—who, I found out, used to be a bodyguard too before becoming a son-in-law of the De Vedras after getting their daughter pregnant—I finally decided to head back to the hospital.

Now, we’re on our way, but it feels like the ride is taking forever.

My body is slowly giving out—I can feel the exhaustion creeping in, the fatigue weighing on me after the fear I experienced earlier.

I really thought that was the end for me. I thought I’d be one of the ones hit by a bullet. I thought I’d never get the chance to see Nelson again, to tell him how much I love him.

Even now—though the terrifying moment is long over—I can’t stop replaying the scenes in my head.

The darkness, Hernan’s threats, Atty. Larson’s bloodied, beaten body. The feeling that it could’ve been my last day, that I might never see Nelson again—that’s what’s torturing me now.

I fiddled with my ear. It’s like I can still hear the deafening gunshots echoing in my head, and I can still

    The two men’s laughter echoed behind me as they followed. Diego was no longer afraid of the sea squirts; in fact, he couldn’t stop giggling at the sight of them.“Vi, wait for us!” Diego called out between laughs. I ignored him completely. Flirting with someone else earlier, and now he’s tailing me?“What’s your problem, Diego?” I snapped, elbowing him in the stomach when he suddenly slung an arm over my shoulders.“Why are you so grumpy?” he asked in a pained but teasing tone, rubbing his stomach. Even hurt, he still had the nerve to smile and pinch my cheek.“Want another elbow?” I warned.He shook his head. “Go handle that task I gave you!”He nodded eagerly, still grinning, while I kept snapping at him.“Oh… so you went diving without even inviting me?” Dorry cut in, feigning outrage.“Hi, Dorry!” Diego butted in, grinning like a madman.“What are you doing here?! And where’s that pout you were wearing earlier?” Dorry demanded, flicking him on the forehead.“Pout? I could barely f

    VIANNA MAY – POV“Mia, are you okay?” Dorry asked with concern, patting my back.“Of course! Why wouldn’t I be?” I replied nonchalantly, forcing a laugh that came out more like a snort.“It’s just… you suddenly walked off the moment you saw what happened earlier. Are you sure you’re okay?”“Dorry, seriously?!” I scoffed. “I didn’t leave because of what we saw. I just didn’t want to interrupt their moment.” I denied it with all my might, though I was already fuming inside.“I wish we never came here! Then we wouldn’t have seen that! Ugh, that Diego. Says he loves you, but has his arms around another woman!” she grumbled. “And you’re telling me that didn’t bother you at all, Mia? If it were me, I’d have dragged that woman straight into the ocean!”“Calm down, Dorry! Our friend’s single, you know. He’s free to flirt with whoever he wants.”And flirt he did. That idiot—acting all teary-eyed before, only to cozy up with someone else. I could just flick him right in the—ugh. He’d better not

    DIEGOA loud scream jolted me awake—then came the painful thud of my body hitting the floor. For a second, I swore my soul left my body. All thanks to Vianna May’s nuclear-powered kick.“Ow…” I groaned, rubbing my hip. “Vi, seriously? You’re a woman—why do you enjoy beating me up so much?”I stayed on the floor, weighing whether it was worth getting up. But then I saw her glare—sharp enough to slice through steel. That glare said, Get up or die. So I got up. Slowly.“Enjoy hurting people? You idiot!” she snapped. “I trusted you not to do anything stupid!” She jabbed her finger at me so hard it’s a miracle it didn’t pierce my chest.I rubbed my face. Yeah, I was an idiot. Last night I’d taken advantage of her deep sleep and done… well, what I wanted.“What did you do to me?!” she demanded, practically breathing fire. And maybe a bit of spit.I just stood there, letting her poke me like some human voodoo doll.“Come on, Vi! What do you think I am—some lust-crazed animal? I didn’t do a

    “Are you out of your mind, Diego?!” My voice rose, but the worry in my tone was impossible to hide. I remembered the night he got drunk—what if he did it again?“I’ve been out of my mind for a long time!” he shot back, running a hand over his face. “I’m exhausted, Vi! I’ve had enough. All I ever did was love you. I’ve done everything I could, but it’s still not enough. It hurts—so damn much. You don’t even want me as a friend anymore!”“Diego… I never said I didn’t want to be your friend. I just don’t want to—”“Stop it, Vi. Just stop!” He cut me off, and I bit my lip hard. “I know where this is going—you’re just trying to push me away.”I sighed, stepped closer, gripped his arm, and fixed my eyes on him. But he wouldn’t meet my gaze. “Diego, just listen to me. Please… leave.”He glanced at me, nodded, then headed for the door and walked out—without a word.I closed my eyes as the door clicked shut. Slowly, I made my way to the bed and sat down. I buried my face in my hands and let

    DIEGO POV I couldn’t stop apologizing to Vianna May. I never thought that simply approaching her would cause her so much pain. All I wanted was to be near her, to talk to her—even for just a little while. If I had known that would happen on the last night we’d see each other, I wish I’d never gone near her. I wish I hadn’t even said goodbye. I should have just disappeared—like I did before.“Diego…” Dorry’s calm voice carried traces of a suppressed sob. She placed a hand on my shoulder and gave it a light shake. I kept my head bowed, unable to meet her eyes. She let go of my shoulder and turned to Vianna May. “Come on, Mia. Let’s go back to the hut,” she said, helping her up. “Diego, let’s go…” “You two go ahead,” I replied weakly, trying to steady myself even though my heart felt like it was breaking apart. I wiped my tears but kept my head down.Even after Dorry and Vianna May had left, I still couldn’t move. It felt like I’d just lost a fight—drained, weak, unable to stand. A

    “Mia!”The sharp call and sudden yank on Vianna May’s arm startled me, followed by a fist slamming into my lip. It happened so fast, I couldn’t even dodge.Vianna May’s scream rang in my ears. My eyes squeezed shut for a split second as my hand touched my split lip. I turned toward the man who wouldn’t stop yelling and mocking me.Blood rushed to my head when I saw Vianna May in Nelson’s arms—he was holding her back, keeping her from lunging at me.I pulled her toward me, but he yanked her right back. “I thought you were decent. Turns out, you’re nothing but a disgrace!” he spat, teeth clenched in fury as his hand gripped her arm. “You bastard!” He was about to come at me again, but Vianna May blocked him.We locked eyes, jaws tight with anger. “You’re the bastard!” I shot back, tugging Vianna May toward me again. Her face was flushed with rage.“Let go of me!” she snapped, struggling to break free from both of us.The moment she slipped away, we clashed like roosters in a cockpit—f
