Chapter Sixty OneThe justice have served. Months after I decided to leave everything behind, Anson Cabrera, Yukenzo's father, was sent to jail. That's when a big lump inside my chest slowly faded because I know, mom will be at her peace already. She deserved justice after all."It's okay. It was a tremendous relief." I made a small smile.Dad made me stay. I gestured Yuna and Henry to sit again so am I. After that intense moment, we are now calm. Though Akira bid her goodbye to us, she said she have a work to do in her room and they let her. I'm not expecting for her warm welcome and treatment though. I'm not assuming things will change between us.He held my hands, looking at me like it's unbelievable I'm here in front of them, calm and approachable."You don't know how happy I am. Thank you for being a good daughter..."That made me laugh."Oh please, da

Chapter Sixty Three"Is that all?""Yup." I nodded at grandma after she asked few questions about what happened earlier.She loosened her apron and faced me."Hmm, why did you not forgive him?""Huh? I already forgave my father, grandma." I reasoned out, a bit confused.She chuckled and shook her head."Silly. I'm not pertaining to Martin, I mean, your ex-boyfriend. That... what's his name again? Lorenzo?"I put down the bowl I'm holding."Yukenzo." I corrected her."Oh, yeah! I'm happy you can now forgive the people around you. You have learned not to get stuck in the past. But why can't you do the same to this particular boy..." she trailed off.I sighed heavily. I know where this will go. I get her point, too. It's just that... I can take all the risk so fast, like before. I can't be impulsive again. I ne

Chapter Sixty FiveHappiness comes in the right time. We just have to wait for it. We need to be patient to feel the content. Because believe me, if you wait patiently, it would be worth it in the end."Happy birthday, my princess..." Dad kissed me on my forehead, he's the first one who greeted me the moment sun rose.I smiled."Thanks, Dad." I hugged him."Where's my gift?" I wiggled my brows and joked.He laughed shortly and handed me a..."A key?!" I shouted in so much shock."Yup. I know you want a car. You can have it now. I won't control you anymore." He said.I'm teary-eyed as I'm staring at the key he gave me. Then, I jumped to hug him, this time, tighter. I'm so happy!"Thank you so much, Dad! I love you!""Anything for you, my princess."I had a literally good morning. I received co

Chapter Sixty SevenTwo of them ran to me first. One has a dagger so I needed to avoid it properly, another one is determined to punch me but I ducked and jumped to avoid all their attacks. Another batch ran to join them. I kicked the ass of the two and others' chests. I'm panting after I gave half of my strength. Azelyn and Akira were just watching me fight their men.All of them are fighting me now. They're surrounding me, I jumped and kicked their chest one by one in a circular motion. Groans and growls echoed. I kicked one's face and hit another one's 'down there'. I turned around to punch the one behind me in the face and give him a headbutt. I took the dagger from the one holding it the moment I turned him down, I threw it to the four. Bullseye.I was busy catching my breath, I bit distracted by the fast beat of my heart when I felt a huge impact on my head. I knelt, face crumpled because of the sudd

Chapter Sixty Nine"Innovvvv! No! My son doesn't deserve this! He's not dead! No!"I was just staring blankly at the coffin in front of us. Only Aunt Sharon's voice full of misery keeps on echoing in the whole corner of the funeral room. She's been crying since yesterday, Dad remained quiet while comforting him but his eyes says it all. I'm beside Yukenzo, behind us are Lia and Vencie, Yukenzo's mother and grandma. She never stopped asking me how am I feeling and I keep saying I'm okay, my body is but not my heart.Everyone's quiet. No one intended to talk. The pain keeps on lingering inside me and my tears seems too shallow to fall in just a matter of seconds. I wiped it eventually but another batch replaced it. I sighed heavily."You can cry..." Yukenzo said and wiped it for me.I nodded and those tears seemed to hear it because right fucking then, they fell continuously
