I opened my mouth to speak but ended up losing my voice caused by the shock Mizu’s words had brought me.   Has the world usually been this small for Harris and I to meet this way? Has the world always been cruel for us to cross paths even though what I really wanted was to cut our ties completely?   My mind suddenly got filled with confusion. My mind crumbled and became like a crumpled paper because of how this day turned out. The certainty I had felt earlier about staying in this place suddenly disappeared.   I want to leave. To run away caused by the fear of getting myself hurt again the moment I saw Harris who robbed a big part of my being.   "Is there a problem?" Waldo asked full of concern.  

I was soundlessly watching the quiet street in front of the La Majarica building. The surrounding has always been naturally quiet because it is located far from the highway and is indirectly hidden. The storm made the surroundings even quieter. Which somehow turned eerie.It's already past seven in the evening. And here I am filling my empty stomach with beer instead of a decent meal. Mizu is on my right, standing in the same position as mine. We both propped our elbows on the balcony railing of the room I was occupying. Like me, he was also holding a bottle of beer that he had brought for the two of us.True to his words, he really did visit me. I was actually not expecting his arrival anymore. I almost thought that he’d forgotten. And I was about to step outside to grab my own drinks. But even before I could do that, he was already standing at my door holding a bucket full of beer."You know what, Prescilla," Mizu carefully started.We've been here for a little while but both of us

"What are your plans today?" Katiya asked when I answered her call.It was three hours ago after Mizu pulled me into the room I was occupying. He forced me to stay here even though what I really wanted was to abuse the hours while Harris was in front of me. I can feel my cousin's tempering anger at the words I said.And despite his silence, I knew he had many things to say. He was not even given the chance earlier because of the call he received from the reception downstairs.The rain's getting heavier with each passing hour that made the people at the function hall stranded. And Mizu went there to attend to the guest while I stayed here in my room. Not that I intend to go there, but I'm too hurt right now to inflict more pain on myself even more.“I plan to do nothing but drown myself with alcohol for the rest of the night. How does that sound?” I asked in return.I began to massage my temple using my free hand because the effect of alcohol was finally kicking in. I'm already feelin

"Follow what I command you, Prescilla," there was a threat in Mama's voice. I closed my mouth tightly and shook my head successively in protest of what he had been telling me. There's no way in hell that I would agree to this kind of shit. And I will never despise my son just because of him. Even if it would cost me my own life, I'd rather die than let them hurt my unborn child. I wrapped my womb with my two arms so that I could somehow protect the baby I was carrying. I'm only two months pregnant and I just found out today after visiting a doctor. I've been nauseous for a few weeks now and I've been feeling nauseous so I went to see a doctor. And the news about my pregnancy shocked the whole Santiago Mansion. Who would have thought that the daughter of the famous Santiago couple would end up getting pregnant early at the age of twenty-three. Single, although I have a boyfriend that my parents don't approve of. "I didn't bring you back to this place and swallow you to end u

Behind the darkness of our surroundings, I was still able to see Waldo’s eyes darkening suggesting that he wasn’t in his best mood because of Harris. I, myself, was alarmed, but it was overshadowed by bliss with the fact that he is here in front of me… finally.“Prescilla,” he called again after being silent for a while.Waldo signaled me to not look back by locking his eyes on me and shaking his head. However, the desire to see the man that I longed for a long time was greater. Because he was the man who owned half of me, the one who left a huge hole in my heart when he left me hanging."Harris," I whispered, almost speechless because of the shock that he was finally here now."What do you need from that girl, Harris?" asked Melissa, who was behind him.“Go back to our room. Stay with Kate,” he replied, almost sounding like an order.Melissa glared at me and just remained standing next to Harris. "I am not going anywhere unless you're with me, Harris," Melissa said firmly, not accept
