CHAPTER 53 Alqamar was standing far from the gate of the funeral but I can see him from here. His both hands are in his pocket while his cold eyes are piercing through me.My heart melted from seeing him. He never texted me or call me today. I am sure that what happened yesterday somehow affected our relationship.He might be thinking that he was the reason why my family got involved and he is now trying his best to be away from me just to avoid what happened yesterday. I glanced at Ronald."Ronald...uh can...I go out? Alqamar is outside," I told him. Ronald smiled at me and nodded. "Of course. You can talk to him," Ronald said. I immediately stood up and I almost ran towards Alqamar. I don't like what is happening right now. I don't like this feeling...because I feel like...he is slowly dripping away from me. "Alqamar...how did you know I was here?" I asked when I got closer. I looked up to him and the coldness of

CHAPTER 55Our day end up with me resting on his chiseled chest while watching how the sun set down. His arms are embracing me and it felt like home I wanted to stay forever. I feel at peace inside his arms. I really don't wanna leave but I know once the sun set down...I would have to let go of this hand. The hand of the man I will surely love for the rest of my life."I hate sunsets..." I murmured while watching the sun goes down. My tears are starting to peek out in my eyes but I am trying so hard to control it."Why? It's a beautiful scene Lexis," he said. It's like he heard my sentiments."I hate it Alqamar...because sunset means our end of our time together," I said in a whisper. I felt his embrace tightened. I held his arms and softly caressed him there."It is not our end Lexis. I told you...I'll follow you after everything. I will always come and find you wherever you are, no matter how far it is. I promise you..." he whispered to me assuri

CHAPTER 57Carlos was dragging me forcefully to somewhere I didn't know. My heart is beating so fast as the danger keep coming to me."Faster!" Carlos pushed me more as we walk. I winced in pain when I felt the rock below my foot. The night is filled with darkness with only the half moon from above. I am worried. I am scared and nervous. Fear is consuming me. Fear is filling my mind."D-Do...you want that throne so much?" I bravely asked even though my voice is shaking. I felt him turned to me as we still walking towards the darkness."Everyone wants the throne. Alqamar is just lucky that he got chosen by the Goddess," he said bitterly."Alqamar is the chosen one why can't you just accept it?" I added. He stopped so I also stopped. I bit my lower lip."In this world full of cruelness, the word 'fair' is now a myth. The Goddess couldn't see the other's potential, and that's when the word 'unfair' created," he said grittily as he glared at me.

CHAPTER 59My mind couldn't think straight anymore. My mind is in chaos as my heart slowly breaks apart. My mind cannot process everything. My Grandma who shields those bullets for Alqamar...and Alqamar soaking with his own blood in the end. How could this happen to them? Why everything end up this way?"Lexis..." mom's voice echoed in my ears but I am just staring at nothingness. Everything in me weakened. The wound on my legs feels numb. I am numb for everything. I am numb but my tears are continuously falling from my eyes.I looked at my mom who was watching me with her teary eyes. She held both of my shoulders. I roam my eyes around and stood up when I realize that I am now in the house. My heart pounded so fast. I didn't even notice that we already arrived in our house!"M-Mom! I have to go back in the forest! Alqamar was soaking with blood! I can't let him there alone-""Lexis! Please! We have to clean your wound!" Mom cut me off but I shook

CHAPTER 61My lips parted as I saw his familiar eyes. My eyes started to get blurry because of my tears but one blink of an eye the dark gray eyes disappeared.Something in me fell down. My knees tremble as tears slowly roll down my cheeks. I didn't even noticed that the master of the ceremony of the graduation is now calling out for the next student to come in the stage. I swallowed hard and leave that stage. I immediately run outside of the gymnasium while still wearing my medal and my graduation gown. My tears continuously fell on my eyes while I am holding my chest because it keeps throbbing. I feel like I am being stabbed by a million knives inside my chest. I feel like I am lost again.It was a hallucination. That eyes I saw in the crowd was only a hallucination. And that hallucination made me more in pain.The tears pour madly in me. It was heavy. I feel like even the weather is sharing my sorrow and pain with me. The rain made me shuddered. I am a
