My eyelids fluttered in an attempt to open it but I couldn't. My eyes felt like they were carrying the weight of an elephant. After a few attempts, I successfully opened them but clenched them back instantly, when the warm and bright sunbeams fell directly on my eyes, burning them.A brief moment after, I pried my eyes open. With my blurred vision, I was incapable of distinguishing anything more than their vague shapes.I slowly hoist my tired body up into a sitting position, leaning my body against the headpost, rubbing my eyes at the same time in an endeavor to clear my cloudy vision. This time my vision was very clear but still a bit dim, so blinking rapidly, I tried to adjust to a bright ray surrounding the room.My lips parted as an unladylike yawn threatened to float out of my lips, but instead a hiss escaped my lips at the sharp pain that hit me. My jaw felt like it had been dislocated. For a second I thought I must have slept in an odd position, but then the vivid memory of y

Drawing a frustrated sigh out of me, I snuggled into the comforter. It was already two in the morning and I was feeling restless. For the past five hours I have been trying and twisting, deriving no sleep. Despite the tiredness I feel, I can't sleep at night.Facing up towards the ceiling, I began thinking about my life. My life has drastically changed in a matter of a few months. Not even in my worst nightmare did I imagine I would be stuck in such a surreal situation. I somehow have to survive in this dark world and I have no idea how long I'll manage to survive.After several minutes, the sudden sound of the door creaking open had my neck twisted on its own to the direction of the door. My eyebrows drew together in confusion. How could it be sneaking inside at this time?My ear picked up an unsteady footstep entering the room. Out of the corner of my eyes I saw was a figure. The room was pitch dark, which made it impossible for me to identify the person. From the blurry bulky frame

My eyes clouded, blurring my vision as a wave of dizziness hit me.Not again....I internally huff in vexation.My stomach felt upset and a wave of nausea came over me.I wanted to pull my hair in frustration. As if my life didn't have enough problems, now I am sick too and it's been a week and there is no sign of any improvement. Instead, it's getting worse with each passing day. I am struggling to find happiness in my life. God I am being too dramatic these days. Yes, my life is a mess, but I don't have to replay misfortune when something happens.I was just thinking when someone entered the kitchen. Upon looking behind, I found one person. I had almost forgotten the whole existence of the person.Andrea.Her eyes instantly locked with mine. She seemed satisfied to see the shock in my eyes. Lowering my head, I tried to concentrate on the boiling pork meat which I was craving so badly. Even though I don't work as a maid anymore. I cook something for myself."My my I see you are still

As soon as Lucas was out of my sight I swiveled around directing my gaze towards Kandel who was now struggling to get herself in her feet.I instantly rushed to her side and draped my arm around her shoulder supporting her battered and weak body. Her swollen and red eyes flickered upon me at the contact."Let me help you," I said with a forced smile on my face.She stared at me before passing a forced smile of her own. Once I helped her on her feet and led her towards the bed. Before we could reach there her ankle twisted. She almost tripped down but thankfully my reflex kicked in and my hold tightened."Careful," I softly utter."I'm sorry," she croaked out.I threw a small smile wordlessly reassuring her everything was okay before laying her in the middle of the bed. I looked at the bedside table but found the jar empty."I'll go get some water for you" Saying I bend down do grab the handle of the empty jar. My movements were restrained as a hand latched mine.Drawing my eyes toward
