Lahat ng Kabanata ng Secrets of Time: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

Cayden decided to introduce me to his father again without hate. I guess our first introduction and first impression of each other really is an awkward one and it's not good at all.  I don't even know how I'll face him after that. Maybe I've been somehow polite yet it's obvious that those were all fake and I don't know if he knows that I have no idea about them that time.  I don't want my man's father to have a bad impression on me. It won't surely leave my mind and will bother me every time I'll meet him so might as well talk to him again without me thinking bad things against him and wanting to kill him.  I can even remember everything that happened that day and I don't think my attitude that day is nice at all.  Well, that's also because of how his father acted at that time. I guess he really is that cold and sarcastic for me to prove that what I know was right and he actually

"So, you're here, huh?" A deep voice behind me asked and that made me statued on where I am standing. For a year of staying with him, I already know.his voice and I can and will never be mistaken.  How did he even get here and how the fuck did he manage to enter the palace's vicinity?  I immediately turn around, wanting to make sure if I'm right and there I saw him again- not with his kind and an angelic face but a devilish one which I have never seen on him before.  It's him- that old man whom I treated as my father because he really is but then he just gave me misery and betrayal.  But no... How did he get here? How did he manage to pass through the security? This can't be happening now!  He smirked at me when he saw my puzzled and worried face so I made my expression hard and brave for him not to see that I'm surprised to see him here. &nb

It opened. Yes, it did. At first, I thought it won't for the first time my hand landed on it, it created an irritating and unknown sound which I think is part of the explosion that will happen because I failed- we failed.  That time, I was ready to accept that I failed and so as ready to die with everyone here but when the door suddenly opened, that's when my hope came back, I was overwhelmed that finally, everything will now come to an end but no, I shouldn't celebrate this early yet. We haven't seen the Clepsydra yet- if it's still here and I hope it still is.  My father should not get a hold of it anymore or else all of it will be messy again.  I am the first one to step inside the room and there I saw an hourglass-shaped container with lots of tubes connected to it. There's nothing in this room except for that but no one tried walking towards it aside from Cayden's father.  He

"No, Heszhia! You need to stay here! I can't let you risk yourself and our baby for such a stupid decision!" Cayden exclaimed when I told him that I'll fight. I still can manage to do that even with this situation of mine. I trust myself.  "But-"  "No buts. You'll stay here and won't come whenever we're planning," he said and left the room with me still standing on where he left me.  My most fearful moment has come. A war will happen again and this time I'm part of it- I want to be part of it yet Cayden won't let me. There may be a huge chance for them to win but everyone knows that they are the evil ones. My father has poisoned their minds already and if they will engage themselves in the war, then they will be fighting against the Vasileìas whom they think as the other way around when the truth is they'll be teaming up with the real culprit in this misery that we're experiencing. &nbs

Sam is... My sister? But how did that happen? Then dad had another woman to impregnate in the past? Oh my God. My poor sister. I can't even imagine his misery living with that devil and she can't fight him. Now that she knows I exist and that she really has a sister, that's when she also needs to sacrifice his life for the sake of everyone and me.  If it wasn't for her, then I'm the one who will need to sacrifice my life for the sake of others. I would need to volunteer for there's no other way that we can do just to spare someone from sacrificing their lives but Sam... At such a young age, she managed to have a decision that's as heavy as that but why does she even need to do that when she can just run away and spare herself? Why does of all people, it's always my family that needs to sacrifice to stop our own family?  Why does my sister need to sacrifice herself just for the sake of others? Fuck this life! Fuck that old man! I di
