Chapter 51: Real culpritI was just looking at my laptop all night because of work. My business is still going well and stable. I just sighed and looked out the window of my room. The surroundings are quiet, neither hot nor cold. The silence around is like a warning. Am I thinking way too much again? But I'm nervous because something bad might happen because it's so quiet. The children are fine with me and they continue to attend school. Rye has always visited us and brought food. After the conversation happened between Lip and Rye, Lip joined us finally when eating but they still didn't have a long and comfortable conversation.I still had to do something... and it was so risky that I couldn't take steps. Lip and Selena will be in danger once they're so exposed. Especially nowadays when they are attending their classes. What if something bad happens to them? I could go crazy with so much worry and anger because of what they might be going through. I don't want them to experience trau

Chapter 53: HornsI looked at the time. Eight o'clock. I didn't pay attention to Rye and Lip who were in the living room and were just watching my next moves. When I got out, I immediately saw a black car. I entered there fearlessly and the driver immediately drove the car to the place where Divine wanted. There was only one man in the car with me, the driver. He is wearing a mask and I can only see his eyes. The inside of the car is clean even though it's dark…. I can still see it. No bomb. Looks like she's not going to kill me here in the car. Right, she wanted to see me struggling. Maybe in that place, she will do me harm. I'm just praying that she didn't do anything to Selena."The place we're going to is far away, miss. I'm sorry but I think I need to put you to sleep first." I was surprised when he sprayed something in the air source in the car and I didn't immediately cover my nose. "I just did this for work... for my family." Those were the last words I heard before I passed o

Chapter 55: Answer"How can I answer your proposal if you haven't woken up yet?"It's been four months since an event happened that made us suffer. Until now, Rye is still lying in his hospital bed with many things still attached to his body. I can see that he is still fighting so we didn't give up. Selena did not attend school for one month because of her counseling with her personal psychiatrist. Lip, on the other hand, spontaneously said that it was okay for him to go to school right after he rested for a day. I got strict with Selena and Lip's safety. Two of them are always with the service car. I also said that the two of them will go straight home after classes and there is nothing to go to right after that. When Lip has projects that need to be done at his classmate's house, I have two drivers look after him. I just paid them triple for it.I don't want what happened before to happen again. It's a good thing that my children understand my decision. They didn't complain or say a

Untold Chapter 2/4: Dirty WorkWARNING before reading the 'Untold Chapters', you have to read from the start (if you haven't yet) to understand the flow of the story and why it has these additional chapters. **Rye's POV"I thought you’re only working as a waitress at the bar you went to? Why am I hearing that someone will rape you?" I asked and I saw that Francine just smiled because of my questions."Do you also want to get rich?" she asked. "There are things you can't understand because you're young. When you want to make money, you'll do anything, even sell your body. But don't worry about me, I'm not selling my body. I'll just make sure I'm not taken advantage of by people in the bar."My brows met and just stared at her. That was her answer... I don't know if I should trust what she said because I'm nervous about what might happen. But then, I just let it go because in the following days, the bruises on her arm have healed. Our lives continued at that time until one night, she

Untold Chapter 4/4: PlansWARNING before reading the 'Untold Chapters', you have to read from the start (if you haven't yet) to understand the flow of the story and why it has these additional chapters. **Rye's POVI had set my plans straight. Patrick, Glorification, Patry... and Seraphrim. Those are the names of those who belong to the Bautista Family. The family that I will begin to ruin enveloping my plans; the family business that they have been managing for a long time. But it was transferred under Seraphrim's management. I was going to confront the bank where Patrick loaned the money he gave to me, but then I saw one of his children. Here at the bar with her employees. Pure luck.First, I tried to talk to Seraphrim to test what her attitude was like."Why would you pay for my drink? I can afford it." She was about to get her wallet when I stopped her hand. She immediately took her hand from me.I smirked. "Don't be stingy, Seraphrim Bautista."I saw that she was surprised beca
