"Who are you?"

Standing meters away from my seat was an elegant woman having such timeless beauty I couldn't compare with the common faces I'm familiar with.

She's wearing a white maxi dress, barefooted. Her hair jet black, long and wavy. But what caught my attention the most was the familiar shade of her eyes. They're bluish-green... like the eyes of someone I memorized, the part of him I've found truly fascinating.

Could it really be?

"I'm... Beverly Brook. What about you, ma'am?" I croaked. Goodness! I've got myself a sore throat due to my non-stop shouts earlier.

Thankfully at least, it didn't go much in vain.

"I am Julia," she answered hesitantly. A small gasp came out of my lips because I just confirmed something. "D-Damon did this to you? Why? Why would he do this? Have you done something to anger him?" She stepped closer after she fired continuous questions.

I can't believe what I just discovered. All this time Julia Rockwell's alive. Everyone thought she's dead. Trevor and

  • Stepbrother, I Have A Secret   Chapter 54: Hope

    Beverly's POVA glint of light has pulled me out of an endless abyss. A loud gasp escaped from my dry chapped lips as my head rose up in a swift moment. I was still in a complete disarray and my visions were yet to adjust but when they eventually did, a spacious foreign room was revealed to me.Just... Where am I?Heart began to beat in a rush, I tried to move my body but to no avail and that's when I realized my arms and hands were tied up so as my feet. I could only grit my teeth, angry at the thought that I was deceived by someone I thought I could trust. And this place, this isn't the familiar one where he brought me in. I don't even have an idea if we're still in Torryn Hill or somewhere near. It's so terrifying to be this clueless..."Let me out of here! I know you can hear me, you damn bastard! Let me out!" Fuck. I feel so dumb.I'm so stupid to think he's an ally. I miserably failed to notice his intentions... his possible motives. I've been blinded by my desperation and the

    Hailee’s POV“Shit! Still out of reach.” I took a break from dialing Bev’s number and cupped my face. Ugh, seriously? That girl’s stressing me out! I felt so haggard even after I gave myself enough time to unwind. Everything’s fine and smooth until I recharged my phone and read her latest messages about her mom being admitted to hospital and then, there’s a lot of unsent messages which really killed me in intense curiosity. Plus, three missed calls from her.And it’s been a two days and a half since she tried to contact me! After that, no more recent messages. It bothered me so much that’s why as soon as the plane landed, I took my car and drove to Maxwell Medicals. But I wasn’t really alone because err—my annoying boss slash ex-fling persistently joined me. Making me want to question, was going in a vacation with me still not enough?Goodness, he’s so clingy! What happened to the serious nerdy guy with avoidant attachment I’ve dated years ago? Sometimes I think we probably switched

    “N-No. You won’t do that…” I shook my head repeatedly. My breath was shaky too.He looked at me coldly. “What else could be the reason why I drove miles just to get here? I said what I said, Brook. I don’t repeat my words. I knew you heard me clear.”My chest tightened up as realization hit me. In the first place, he’s not here for me, to check on me. Because he’s here to reclaim his rights and take the most precious person I have right now in my life. But there’s no way I’d let him! I won’t let things go according to his way.“Just this once. Quit being selfish, will you? We both know I have all the rights to take back those years of not being able to be with my daughter!” He toned aggressively. Loud thuds were violently banging my chest. His aura literally screams danger but he must not see me getting affected!“And by taking her from me? Is this revenge, huh? And then, what? You can live happily with your woman together with my Adriana? I won’t fucking let you have her!” He grima

    “A-Atlas, it’s not what you think!” I was eventually shocked by my own tone.Shit. Why am I so defensive? So what if he’s thinking that way? The fuck I care of whatever’s going on his mind!His stare was colder than the previous seconds, then he stepped closely to my spot with a clenched jaw and heavy aura. I unconsciously took a step backward, a bit intimidated by his boldness but before I could totally put a reasonable distance between us two, he already grabbed my wrist and pulled me without any act of gentleness!“We need to talk.” He hissed with oozing dominance.“Huh? What is there to talk about? I remember nothing—““There is. A lot, Brook.” He looked so dark and serious. I couldn’t help but gulp, I felt like what he’s about to say was something that would definitely move me.“Hey, Atlas. Just in case you’re being forgetful again, may I remind you that you just barged in my place.” Atlas was already pulling me with his lead when Damon spoke up, calmly.But it’s as if Atlas was

    When Damon gave me two choices, I was sure to pick the first. But then, maybe it's true that it takes last minute to change a person's mind.I realized no one searches for me. They were probably fine despite knowing i wasn't around. No one really cares even if I disappear right now. A dry chuckle came out of my mouth. Damn. I've never been so down as this... I felt like everyone turned their back against me, even the people I treasure the most. I felt like however I try to set things right, they'd only see the numbers of my failure. I don't think I'll ever be good enough. Was it so hard to trust my words?I checked my phone to see if there's any new message in my inbox. Actually, there are. From Hailee and Lancer; both updating me about their vacation. With a heavy chest, I reacted heart on the photos they both sent in our group chat where only the three of us were members. I tried to scroll in my news feed but the moment I saw a video of that scene in the hospital posted by someon
