All Chapters of Embracing Darkness: Chapter 1 - Chapter 4

GABBIE TORRES“WHAT! You want me to live in the province. Again?!” My eyebrows were raised when I heard my dad say that I needed to stay in the province because he had received a death threat. Again.He is a judge, and nothing's new with his kind of job. It's normal for us. But right now, I can't agree with his decision because Mateo is coming to the Philippines this week.“Dad, no! I can't agree with you this time.” I told him as I started to leave his office.“Gabriela!”I frantically turned my head back to him. “My goodness!

I want something light and of course my favorite cartoon character... Stitch! I'll paint my wall light pink and I want my bed covered with stitch designs. I giggled. Why did I suddenly feel excited? Napahinto si Wyatt ng paglalakad kaya bumangga na naman ako sa malapad niyang likod. "Ouch!" I gently caressed my forehead. He released a heavy sigh and afterwards, he turned around and looked at me. Napailing na siya while looking at me. "That is your room."
