“Ah, sorry, please tell her I called if she is back. Okay?” [Yes, Maam, I will tell her. May I know your name?] “Just tell her to call me back” [Yes ma'am. I understand. I will tell Maam Ysekiel right away] Seki… I thought I already… I had hoped that it would be Seki who would answer that. But to think it wasn’t her… what should I do now? I really don’t know… . . . “Do you need anything else?” Asking me that question, I was surprised when Francis offered me a tab with cookies. I don’t know but I am not really in the mood of eating right now. “I need to call Seki… I am worried about Drake… I need to know if he is fine or if he is safe…” Starting from the inside of this mansion, the walls are pure glass pane. Which makes it easy for me to see the outside. But with each hit of the waves creating splashes from the nearby rock forms, I could not help but remember Drake. Those times we would have memories in the waters… But to think it would also be the last thing I will see as
“Serena, are you sure?” [Yes, I can’t contact you as well so I tried calling Xemion and he gave me Shaun’s number. Saying you are with him and that you are there, maybe you can check if Kianna is fine?] “Like hell I won’t! Thank you, Serena, you are a great help!” [I will head there as well, please update me on the situation] “Yes, I will. Thanks again” Dropping the call, I look at Shaun. I was really surprised when I heard Serena is calling Shaun asking for me… but to think she know where Kianna is… I am jealous… but it was my fault in the first place! “Shaun, Serena gave me this address… It seems like the heaven is helping us” Nodding his head, I gave back the phone to him. For sure he would be calling Drake to tell him about what happened. I am really worried about the two of them… I hope things will be all right for them.. Why can’t they just live a happy life? Is that so much to ask? Remembering all the hardship that Kianna has gone through, it worries me how she can even
Explaining to them what happened, every time someone would enter the place through the door, I can’t help but have my eyes looking at that direction. “So that is what happened…” Nodding my head, Francis soon shows up having a frown on his face. “This place is not a zoo. Can you please leave?” “Francis… for saving Kianna. You have my thanks” Seki mumbled as she faced Francis. But she receives no reply. Making her punch his shoulder slightly with a smile. “What? You wanna treat me like a stranger?” “I thought you were mad at me” “Well, I still have a bit of hate for you… you see” I can’t help but giggle. But somehow… I feel like it was my fault. Both Seki and him were on good terms before but then… Hah… I have lots of things to apologize but I don’t even know if it is needed- I was surprised when I almost lost my balance. A pair of hands caged me in his arms. I can feel his hair touch my cheeks. But even if I don’t see his face… I know who he is. This very scent… this warmth
I do not wish to involve my mother and grandparents about the situation we are at now. That is the reason why Drake and I decided not to stay close in where they are. But after all the things that happened, I don’t think that I can stay the same as before. “Are you worried?” “Yeah… I miss them too. I am sure they are worried about us as well but…” Caressing my hair, he pull me close to him as I lay the back of my head on his shoulder. “I’m sorry…” “Why are you apologizing again?” “Because… I mess things up. When we are planning to have a happy secluded life… I should have-“ “I should have listened to you too, Drake. The reason why we are in this situation is all because of me. Sorry for dragging you in this mess-“ His finger then blocks my lips. “If you are blaming yourself, stop. We are at fault… the two of us” Giggling, I really want to give him a happy life. The one he deserves… “Maybe I should try asking my father for help” “But you hated him… don’t do something you h
‘My lovely daughter… forgive me… I am sorry that I am your mother…’ I want to forget those things that I saw in the memories of fourth. It was just so painful… She did live a safe life but those around her didn’t… Many people died… Many people was hurt… Many people loses something important to them… Many people got their lives ruined…. And…. and it was… all because of… Me… “Why is it like that?” Not just my mom… not just Serena and Seki… even my Grandmother and Grandfather… all of them… Seki hated me because I was the reason why she almost lost Shaun’s life… while Serena… she died blaming me for losing her eyes… the only one that stayed by my side there was Drake… but even there… they took him away from me. Just to keep me alive… he died for my sake even though in that memory… I… I don’t love him. Scared of dying… and thinking that the lives that others had given would be a waste if I die… I lived a long life yet… is that even living? Every day I blamed myself. To be able
“What are you planning to do now? Kianna?” With my grandma asking me that, I can see how worried she is. Of course, she would not let me go there by myself. Of all, I know that she is having a hard time now. That she can’t even pull herself to stand up after all the stress that she has been through. “I asked for help from those people that I know, slowly, we are collecting data about things that can be used as evidence against Marco. We have been doing that for some time now. Even the death of my father… The one whom we are thinking of as the main culprit in all of this… and about mom… I think it was him” Smiling at my grandmother, I hold her hand. “I will save her” “Are you planning to head there? In the place that they gave you?” “Grandma… how did you…” Shaking her head, she holds my hand so tight. As if she is trying to stop me. “You will stay here. I can’t lose you as well… Kianna” “But I need to go to save Mom” “It is dangerous” I know of all that she is just saying tha
Hera POV Where am I? This is not funny at all! Who is that fucker that would dare kidnap me in broad day light??!! And of top of that… how can they do this in front of the airport??! Is the security here that bad? Shit… Ahh!! This is crazy!! “Hmm!! Hmmp! Hmmp!! Hmmm! Huff!!” No matter how I try to struggle and shout, nothing seems to escape my mouth. This damn tie… I think I can remove it if I use the small cutter on my watch… But as soon as I realized it, I was not wearing my watch at all. What? Did they even remove my watch?! Gosh, this is ridiculous. If it were not for that bastard, I would surely be on my way proceeding with my perfect plan of leaving this country! Then I wouldn’t be here getting kidnapped But because that bastard appears… here I am, stuck in this… fucking mess! It was all his fault! This is all because of that bastard!! I will fucking kill hi- Thud Not being able to finish my thoughts, I was surprised when a loud thud suddenly appeared. What was that?
Kianna POV “So you came… good to see you again… Kianna…” Standing not far from me is the man who ruined my life… “Or should I call you…” there, a small mocking grin escaped his lips… “…my dear little sister?” I can feel his gaze so cold. Looking at me as if I am the most despicable person in the world. He also looks so agitated and restless for some reason. Does he truly want to kill me that much? Shouldn’t I be the one to look at him like that? How vile of him to do this to me. Not just in this time but in every other… life… Did he really choose to live a life like this? Live as if… he would die id he didn’t make me feel miserable? “Just as I thought… you are still alive” My hatred towards him… I know it will never subside just like that. I hate him… I hate him more than I hate myself… “Marco” “Are you gonna cry now? Just so you know, I am not into those cry babies. I hate their noise. It makes my head hurt so bad…” “Where is my mom?” “You guess” Smiling at me with such a
