Lahat ng Kabanata ng Leap Of Fate: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

After maneuvering the morning rush hour, their car stopped in front of an art gallery. “There’s a mural that I’d like you to see,” Elaina said before she got out of the car with the help of her driver. Serene followed suit. Entering the gallery, the employees greeted her by name, which simply shows that she’s a regular. Elaina quietly walked inside the gallery until they reached the back wall. On the wall was a mural of an abstract painting. It’s made of randomly splashed paint and bold strokes. However, a hyacinth bloom formed from the splatters if viewed from a specific angle.“Lovely, isn’t it?” Elaina said as they both appreciated the mural. Serene just nodded as she took in the art before her.“

Serene’s mind kept replaying Justin’s hurtful words. Like a knife, each work he said struck her heart, stabbing it repeatedly until it bled. The taxi driver kept on glancing at her from the rear-view mirror, concern written all over his face. Tears had not stopped falling from her eyes the moment she sat. I need to fix this. She kept repeating in her head. But how? She did not know; all she knew was she needed to make things right. Justin’s furious face flashed on her face. His sharp eyes that ripped her apart. They were just lovingly cuddling this morning. How can everything go south in less than 24 hours? After a while, her taxi stopped at the gate of Justin’s villa. She paid the driver and alighted from the vehicle. With heavy steps, she approached the gate and keyed in the passcode. It beeped to show an incorrect passcode

Serene’s physically and emotionally exhausted body demanded its respite. As soon as her back touched her bed, Serene felt her eyelids become heavy and sleep took over her. It was a dreamless night for her. She’s too exhausted to even dream.She slept like a baby. The warm light from the window, filtered by her curtain, woke her up. Red shadows played on the back of her eyelids as the curtain danced from the outside breeze. She rubbed her eyes and sat on her bed. Hugging her knees and resting her face on them, she could not help but recall the recent events. A gentle pain in her lower abdomen extending to her lower back made her get out of bed and go to the bathroom. She washed up and changed into comfortable clothes before going down to have breakfast with her parents. Conrad and Carol were a

After attending his meetings, Justin sat at his desk buried in a mountain of paperwork. He was back to his old workaholic self.His brows knitted together as he focused on his computer screen. His fingers deftly flew on the keyboard as he composed an email in total concentration. Since their breakup, he buried himself with work. Exhaustion had been his friend. Serene could not invade an exhausted mind and body.“Come in,” Justin said, not bothering to look away from his screen. “Mr. Rain, the Security department sent this external drive containing the security audio and videos of your office for the past quarter. You can review it and let me know if we could delete them,” his secretary said in a single breath. “Ok. Leave it here,

Time flew quickly. In just a wink, Serene had celebrated the twin’s second Birthday. Unlike their first where her parents and the Lewis’s flew over to celebrate, this time she wanted to have a simple celebration with just the three of them.She opted to take the children to the zoo. Her toddlers enjoyed the trip. Each animal fascinated them. Since they’ve just been learning about animal sounds, they imitated the roars and hisses of the animals they saw. At the end of the trip, Serene pushed the cart of her babies as they soundly slept.Life had been good to her since she left Coast City. She started her career in art and thankfully, her pieces got sold and she later on afforded to open her own gallery. She gained some popularity and had quite a following. In the art world, she’s known as Felicity Pax — her children’s name.
