DAMN alive and still breathing despite his injuries and the gunshot that he just receives from Aaron a while back. Francis stands before Cath, with his gun up a bit shaking from his wound, but directly pointing it towards her. “I may stupidly fail at first, but this time I will not fail to end your life. You who put me behind bars, Catherine Wayne.”“Cath!”Two familiar voices echo in the air, but before Cath could look and see for herself who could those two people be? Francis fired his gun, missing Cath’s vital spot from his shaking hand due to his injuries. Yet still, inflict Cath with another injury and a gunshot to her left arm. Stumbling backward made her lose her footing and leads her to fall to the cliff.“Damn! Just die!”Two gunshot echoes, now directly to Francis's legs leaving him impaired and down helpless. “You cannot save her, she is gone! You failed to save your girl, Samuel Lawrence!”Consumed with anger, Sam clenches his hands tight, yet he didn’t blow up on Franci
“WILL this be alright?”Lindsey’s worry and her thoughts about what Sam decided upon after what happened. Hiding the fact that they were kidnaped. Letting Jun handle the rest with the pieces of evidence at hand and the new ones that were suddenly sent to them just a while back. With all of them know that it was from Beatrice, leaving Francis in the air and saving herself. “This is better and the appropriate thing that we should all do.”Cath seconded, forcing everyone to have this talk and all from Sam’s protest. With her injuries and critical state in the first few hours after they are saved. Luckily Cole wasn’t hurt in any way nor the child is traumatized. But make sure, Sam sends his son to the psychiatrist, and is currently under the care of Adriella. Lindsey recovers fast, and can now move on her own, unlike Cath. “Let’s just leave it to Jun and Nadia. They both know what to do.”She added, hiding the fact that she doesn’t want Sam to know about the organization that Francis on
MORE than being stripped of everything that he had, Harry is slapped with the truth and faces the wrath of Adriella in her calm demeanor whom everyone knows that it is worse than a tyrant in that kind of mood. “You do not need to explain anything to me but sign the divorce papers, right now.”“I-I…”Definitely shaking within his wits, Harry couldn’t even utter a single word nor look at the face of his mother-in-law worst towards Lindsey whose expression is indistinguishable for lacking nothing to see. Worst with the atmosphere in the room that is getting heavy and dreadful upon their conversation that a while back is going smoothly and just like always. Only to be struck by the divorce papers and the secret that Harry is been hiding for almost a month now. “I stayed quiet and compose for the sake of Lindsey. But since it all comes to this and the fact that you are caught red-handed. There is no need for further discussion.”“But I… I only did it once, or maybe twice or thrice, but t
“HOW long has it been since then, Leo?”The expected meeting, but the unexpected expression and tone that is in a mix of disappointment and anger that Cath is showing right in front of him. Left alone in the headmistress office and at first glance they are seem to share a casual tea time. He looks down, not in shame, but a bit of worry from how things unfolded. Which makes him think if he is regretting his decision of giving Cath a clue about the past.“Or should I call you now with your known name, Aaron?”“Tell me, do you hate me that much after what you have learn, Cath?”“Hate you? Why should I? You didn’t do anything to me which needed me to resent you. Instead I am the one who should be asking you of that question, for I failed to recognize my old friend.”Old friend. The words that means more than the shallow meaning of it. Words that will disappoint anyone, for it means more than just a rejection, but a total abandonment towards someone who only thinks about one person and dea
“MOMMY!” The twins, Monique and Cole opens the door and runs up to her with excitement and twinkling adoration to their eyes upon seeing her. “Wow, you look like a princess, Mommy.” “You do, you do!” Monique’s comment with wide smile and agreed by Cole. Admiring her beauty as she is dress in a sophisticated white dress. Her wedding gown and the day that she will finally tie the knot with Sam. After all the problems that are resolve, the secrets that are said, apologize, forgiven and done. With the twin’s biological mother gracefully out of the picture by her death. Everyone is there in that very special day to witness and congratulate them. “Thank you.” Cath smiles and giving the twins one kiss each on their cheeks. Making the twins giggle more in excitement. Just then, the wedding coordinator knock on the door and asks her. “Miss Catherine, shall we?” “Of course.” She couldn’t contain her happiness and smiling all the way through. With the wedding theme of like mystical fore
“Would you perhaps consider… being a nanny?” Surprised by the question and his sudden approach. Samantha is left speechless for a moment while Samuel is smiling and is hopeful for her positive answer. “Please.” Damn with his charm that didn’t change even after six years, added by those Nordic blue eyes, and smile that swept every girl’s heart in an instant back then, and even worse by now. It is taking a toll of her heart. Her weakness, but his strength. The naïve her and his perfect face is now once more teasing her. “You see SAMUEL.” She emphases his name, while scolding her inner thoughts and turning wild heart to stop being stupid, all the while as she is trying to play hard to get. For what reason? Maybe her revenge? A bit of the bitterness that she had suffered six years ago? Perhaps, But. “Do whatever it takes to gain his trust.” Reminded by the words from her boss, she is bitten into submission as she doesn’t have any choice in the matter. Now that everything is fallin
THE first time Catherine Wayne ran away from home, she was seven years old. “I’m running away from here.” She mumbles unto herself acting all brave like it was all just a simple game that she usually plays. “No one can stop me, and when I said no one then it is no one!” She claims, and repeating. She packed her favorite cookie, her stuffed rabbit she names Mr. Skittles, a clean red T-shirt, and a handful of granola bars, then set out into the world. Well, not the world, really, just the end of Seventh Street where the alley met the back of the park. “This should teach them some lesson.”She reasons out thinking that it is better than being in the house and the presence of her parents who are arguing about who will take her into custody.“No one dares to treat me like a thing.”As she pouts, determine to set her plan in action and to somehow make them realize their mistake and for once they would find the idea of listening to her. “Okay, Mr. Skittles it is only you and me from now
“Samuel Lawrence. THE SAMUEL LAWRENCE!” Nadia almost broadcasted to the entire restaurant screaming her surprise and quite a fun way of thinking of how playful, but cruel her destiny is to her.“Please Nadia, just tone it down.”She could only gasp and took a breath out and deep as she already lost her appetite for the meal that she had just ordered.“Tell me about it.”Retorting and rolled her eyes at her greatest dismay of the year. Nadia drinks her refreshment in one gulp and almost slams her glass onto the table as she once more clarifies the bomb that just exploded in front of her face. "The Samuel Lawrence. The person that you hated more than anyone, your once childhood friend and first love who broke your heart mercilessly in the past?”She wanted to melt on the spot and even wish that the earth would eat her alive rather than slap her very best friend in the face for just screaming her greatest nightmare coming true. "Do you need to rub salt in my wounds?”With a peace sign
