บททั้งหมดของ Never Say Goodbye : บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

GabrielSeven years ago There are two kinds of decisions people make that inadvertently change their lives - either for better or for worse. The first decision is one where you know that what you're doing at that moment would not make you regret your entire existence - you're happy about that decision because it's beneficial to you and in the long run, you prove to whoever almost made you second guess yourself that you were right in making that particular decision.The second decision is one where you have absolutely no choice but to make that decision. You have a tight noose around your neck that would never be loosened until you decide to just give in. It is a matter of life and death - a decision where lives hang in the balance and you're the only one that can prevent any disastrous thing from happening.Now... You must be wondering what the hell I'm talking about. My name is Gabriel Emerson Brillantes Cruz and my life - my very perfect life that I'm sure every man wants to live

Gabriel I've been wanting to punch Lucille in the face for years now and after seven years... I still don't feel differently as I stare at her from across the room. She'd trashed my clothes and shoes and the whole thing is nothing but a mess. Not that I mind the fact that I'll have to buy a whole new wardrobe - it's just the fact that she keeps repeating the same old thing every day for the past seven years that has me so pissed off. She wants another freaking baby. She's yet to show one ounce of love towards Kareena and she wants another baby. If she can't love the one she already has, how can find it in herself to love a newborn baby?Could it be that Simon was telling the truth about Lucille cheating on me and wanting to pin the baby on me? But then, I don't think Uncle Carlos's doctor would have had any reason to lie to me about the test because Kareena is the female version of me."Damn you!" I couldn't help but yell. "I will never give you another baby. Hang me by my balls fo

ArianI didn't comment because I realized that I have nothing to say. It would have been an epic love story if the boy had married the girl and they lived happily ever after but it's none of my business so we just continue our tour of the place until we get to her office."Tea?" She offers after telling me to sit."Um... Water will be nice. Thank you ma'am." I reply as I take my seat. I look around the office and sigh, suddenly feeling very exhausted. I didn't sleep a wink last night due to the nightmares I had and the fear that I would never get to leave Mexico in peace but sitting here now - a million miles away from Mexico - I am able to relax and think about what the future would hold for me."Here you go dear." She walks over to hand me a cup of water with the coaster."Thank you." I receive it, careful not to let my shaky hands spill water all over the floor and I take a sip.It's silent in the office after I finish my water but I don't mind it. I take out my phone, turn it on a

Gabriel "How was school today sweetheart?" I ask Kareena after I hugged and rained kisses on her face making her squirm. "Good daddy." She beams. "My teacher gave us an assignment to do. It's going to be tough." "Why's that?" I frown. "She wants us to write about our mothers. Why do we like our mothers better than our fathers." Kareena makes a face. "But I love you more than mommy, daddy." I lift her up in my arms and hug her. "It's okay to love your mommy too, Kar. I know she doesn't show you that she loves you but I know she does." I tell her. "You just told a white lie, daddy." She pats my cheek, making me laugh. "You and I both know she doesn't love me." "She does." I insist. "She just doesn't know how to show it." Kary shakes her head. "It's more like a debate though. I'm on team mommy while Shania and Amber Grace are on team daddy." She pouts. "I wanted to change mine but teacher Nora said I can't." "Fine then. Just write about an imaginary mommy. How you want your momm

Arian The sound of my phone ringing wakes me up but I don't bother opening my eyes and just reach out my hand to pick it up from my bedside table, swipe up to answer the call and put it to my ear. "Hello Diane." My voice comes out slurred because I'm still so sleepy but I don't care either way. All I can hear is someone breathing which makes my brows furrow and I force my eyes to open and remove my phone from my ear to look at the screen. It isn't Diane's number but an unknown number. "Hello... Who is this?" I am more alert now. I hope it's not my father playing pranks on me because he used to do that after I got separated from Rafael. "Missed me?" The dreaded voice I thought I would never hear again speaks in my ear and I freeze. "Raf... Rafael?" I ask to be sure. "Hello sweetheart." I know he's smiling even if I can't see him. "How're you doing baby?" "How did you... How did you get my number?" I've not had the chance to go out and get a new local SIM card but I didn't think
