Morana ran non-stop towards her room on the second floor. She spilled all the things from inside her bag impatiently because her room key was very difficult to find by her trembling hands.The small silver lock gleamed in the sunlight from a nearby window. Without thinking, Morana took it and opened her bedroom door.In a hurry, she took back all the things that were scattered on the floor, starting from pens, erasers and small notes she made, then put them back in her bag.Her chest was pounding.Morana hated herself for being like this. She hated herself for being overly sensitive like this.Everything she was feeling right now was definitely because of their kiss earlier, because Quirino had said that so many times, Morana shouldn't feel like this anymore.But, at this moment, at this very second, Morana felt empty…It was like something was missing in her heart and she didn't know what it was. Her heart ached and she didn't know what caused it.Was it because Morana finally realiz

Daniel, who looked tired after going through a long operation, exhaled heavily. He shouldn't have come home and just returned to his apartment.But, because he needed to get something from his room, so he took the time to stop by for a while. Unexpectedly, this was the first thing he had to face as soon as he set foot in this house."Quirino has dared to oppose me like this, this must be because of you! It's because he got too close to you that you're a bad influence on him!” Lucas's face was red with anger.Since Daniel is no longer his favorite son for not following his wish to take over the company, instead it was his second child, who had done it, Daniel's presence in this house only hurts their father's eyes.If dropping Daniel's name from the family register could be done easily without causing much fuss and would not affect their company's stock price because of the family’s dispute, Lucas would have done it without a second thought.And for Daniel, even if Lucas does it, he wo

In their first session, Morana didn't talk much because she didn't know where to start and what to say in those 2 hours.She mostly listened to Ms. Sherry, the psychologist who handled her, telling about her life, trying to make small talk with Morana while hoping she could share her experiences too.However, the first session ended without Morana speaking anything about her past.It had occurred to Morana not to come again, because she would just be wasting her time and money. After all, she didn't want anyone else to know about her.Therefore, what was she there for?But, upon seeing the burn marks on her hands, Morana steeled her heart again and pushed open the door to the counseling room.If she was like this all the time, maybe Morana wouldn't kill herself right away, but slowly she would die of her own doing, and being haunted by the thought of continuing to hurt herself made Morana sometimes fear what she could do if the shadow the dark is coming.Behind the door, Ms. Sherry wa

Morana really didn't understand what Daniel was saying. "Quirino has business overseas, he won't be back until next month." Morana said while looking at Daniel. "So you really don't know?" Daniel narrowed his eyes and looked at Morana inquiringly, but he couldn't find any lies in her eyes. Or did Morana really not know? "What do you know?" Morana asked back. He had talked enough today with Doctor Sherry, and she was mentally tired, therefore at this moment, to argue with Daniel was not the right time. “I don't understand what you are saying, I did turn off my phone for some reason, but I will be going back to my old boarding house after my troubles here are over. If you don't have anything else to ask, I am going home." Morana tried to push Daniel's body away from the door, but she didn't have the strength to do that. Daniel didn't even budge in the slightest, as if he was a statue carved there. Tired of her futile efforts, Morana glared at Daniel angrily. “Move!” She said harshl

"Hello?" Morana greeted softly when the phone call connected. She didn't expect that Quirino was actually already in this country and looking for her to the point of hiring frightening people like the man in front of her. "Quirino?""You follow them and meet me." Answer the person on the other end of the call. That was the only sentence he said before a tone sounded that the line had been disconnected.Morana stared at the phone screen which displayed the accumulated time of the last call made.5 sec.Morana thought Quirino would scold her first over the phone before telling her to come see him, but Quirino only spoke to her for 5 seconds.Was Quirino that mad at Morana so he couldn't say anything more to her? Morana knew she was wrong, but Quirino had never been like this before.Seeing the gravity of the situation Morana was in, it wasn't impossible that this would become a cold war between them again."Where is Quirino?" Morana asked while handing back the man's cell phone, she wal
