The “I miss you...Selina,” he uttered in an instant, making my smile fades away just like that. My lips got pressed together upon trying to control my sudden emotions from its explosion. Damn this feeling of mine. I should not assume in the first place. I shouldn’t have expected it.“I am not Selina,” I said bitterly in a whisper and took his hand away from my wounded finger to mend it myself. My heart began to pound abnormally as his every breath got heavier, and so as his body that is currently laying on my back. He’s so heavy to handle.I sighed in disbelief and tried to lift his body using my bare arms but I failed for he is three times bigger and heavier than me. I took a deep breath as a sign of giving up when I couldn’t even lift his head. I can’t carry him to his bed myself, and can’t leave him in this state either. I have no choice but to sleep with him tonight... with this position? I chuckled in incredulity upon thinking about our situation. The thought of him waking up w

I immediately bid a proper goodbye to my brother and drove fast when I received Steffano’s call. His blazing voice echoed in my mind and all I could distinguish right now is the fact that Leira is currently not in a good condition. I tried not to tremble, but I couldn’t help it since I heard the doctors oozing from the other line. What the hell just happened?It is Elander’s birthday, yet I left him hanging, didn’t even give him any explanations, and just left him just like that. But my priority right now is Leira. I can no longer control the rapid release of air from my lungs, mixed with the abnormal beating of my heart. Damn this.This is all my fault. I shouldn’t have left her alone. I shouldn’t be complacent just because I knew she can now handle herself. She’s still a kid who needs to be watched.I bit my lips upon controlling the steering wheel, my eyes were being focused on the road but my mind is nowhere to be found. I gathered myself together and took a tight grip on the ste

If I am in a normal situation, I will surely be nervous with his presence, but since I saw his mistress clinging her arms on his today, all I could do is to roll my eyes with disgust and irritation, but I know, from the deepest part of my heart, I’ve been enduring this so much pain. It is so hard to accept that he had gone this far—disrespecting me. I stood straight while still holding Lebanon’s right arm, didn’t even surprise with Steffano’s presence. I could barely see his reaction, for I am looking opposite to his direction. I tried not to be affected for I don’t want to feed his satisfaction. He don’t deserve it and I don’t deserve to be treated this way. As I slightly diverted my gaze to them, I have noticed Steffano’s fist got tightened upon staring at me slowly loosen my grip on Lebanon’s arm. His jaw clenched with his intersected brows and eyes were now in flare, ready to give Lebanon the taste of its own blood. He really is so aggressive. He then diverted his gaze to me wit

We have been staring with each other for almost a minute and it’s me who broke the cold stares between us. I didn’t even dare to drop a voice to him, and just looked at him as if I have been looking at the wall full of nothingness.My face began to heat up, pertaining that tears were now ready to flow from my eyes upon hearing his promises in my mind while looking straight to his eyes with a sudden gulp, for me to control my emotions. Being deafened due to his words in the past is what I have been feeling as of the moment.After a minute, I diverted my gaze elsewhere, for I am fully aware that the atmosphere is starting to be filled with awkwardness. From my peripheral vision, I noticed him walk towards our direction, especially to Leira’s bed.I remained Silent upon lifting my head, trying to see his reaction when he successfully sat next to the kid, talking to her in a whisper even she’s sleeping. After a moment of silence inside the room, I decided to maneuver my body, readying my

The filthy old man diverted his eyes on my direction while wearing his filthy wide grin, revealing his teeth. I could even see the golden teeth and his messy mustache, making him looks like one of the masterminds of a certain illegal organizations. There’s a big possibility, due to the way he act. I remained silent with a very pressed lips while trying to roam my eyes around the whole area, figuring out on how I can escape from this hellish place, but I doubt that, for the whole room was filled with tattooed and mustached men. And I only looks like little kitten begging for survival in front of them. But as of today, I haven’t feel fear or any emotions related to that. I felt nothing.I was just listening to the old man’s conversation with my husband with a poker face upon thinking that act is only a waste of their time. They’re just wasting their time talking with Steffano. He don’t care about me. “I know you’ve known me, mate. Why not a having a short reunion with an old of friend
