CHAP 18: SAFE WITHIN SAFE
The wind was gently blowing the edge of my midnight dress and I didn't mind at all. Lost on the sparkling beauty of the stars and of the beautiful view from the veranda of my condominium, I let my spirit wander and explore the new world serenity had let me into. But as I close my eyes and think deeply, emptiness and pain started to scrutinize me. I clenched my fist, remembering that I wouldn't feel this way, that I wouldn't be alone and lonely if it wasn't for the ones who plotted the death of my family.

I rolled over, attempting to get some sleep again, but curtailed when my palm landed on something cold and stiff. Frantic heartbeat and the wild brush of the wind from the curtain of my sliding window intensified the vague feeling that penetrated through my being. I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat and quickly opened the lampshade on my side. My hands travelled back and gradu
The Culprit's Verdict CHAP. 25: KNOWING HIM

Suddenly, he broke the silence and called, "Nam, look!" pointing in the opposite direction. My eyes adjusted as the lights from the string bulbs, hanging loosely on the branches of the robust trees, struck my eyes. There was nothing new as it was already there when we strolled this place. Confused, I drifted my gaze and threw him a cranky look, but it was quickly replaced with awe as he revealed a pink rose. "W-where did you get that?" If I could remember it clearly, he wasn't bringing any earlier and there wasn't any rose plant nearby. "From my heart to you." Crinkles on my forehead wav
