‘I once heard the quote “I don’t want normal, easy, or simple. I want painful, difficult, devasting, life-changing, and extraordinary love.” But this shit is too much. I guess the love we had between us was one sided.’ Maisie thought to herself as she glared through her hair at Luca. Maisie had begged him when he dragged her out of the car but was left stunned when she felt a hard blow across her face. Everything turned to silence, death screaming silence. Maisie reached for her cheek and held it. The darkness that surrounded Maisie felt suffocating. With that one slap, she felt him tearing her heart out. A Strong hand gripped her on her shoulder and pulled her around.“This one is the prettiest of them all, Luca.”“Stop fucking around and take her inside,” Luca said with a sneer.Maisie watched as Luca walked away without glancing backward. Maisie looked at his figure disappearing into the dark with a frown. “This must be all a mistake. Maybe he had no choice, and this is only for sh

Maisie remembered a while ago she had heard over the radio that the Labrato family's remains were found in a lake house, allegedly a wire short-circuit, caught fire in the middle of the night. The family was misfortune and died in the fire. Maisie had thought at that time that something didn't add up and there had to be more to the story. Having a possible cause, the police had no choice further cause to keep the case open and the case was closed on that report. Snapping back to reality, Maisie continued,“What do I have to do with this?” Maisie could not think of why she was implicated in this matter.“What do you have to do with this?” Leo repeated her question in a sarcastic tone, “You, my dear are just unfortunate to have been born in the Rodriquez family. Through you, I get to take my revenge.”Maisie felt her inside turning upside down upon hearing his words.“What- What do you,” She stopped and swallowed, as though she was preparing herself to say the next words, “want to do wi

How significantly can one choice change a life? Standing in the doorway and looking down at the bruised figure laying still on the cold concrete floor, Luca felt himself forgetting to breathe for a faint moment. He knew if he took one step over the invisible line that was drawn between him, and her his life would be over. ‘Mine or hers? Mine or hers? He kept repeating the phrase in his mind even though he already knew the answer to it. His hands trembled at his side as his feet slowly crossed the line, he was so desperately anxious to cross throughout his life. Was the iceberg he built around his heart broken down piece by piece by her when he did not notice?Maisie’s eyes shot open, and he stopped. Lifeless eyes stared back at him. They were dull, the light that they once held was gone broken to pieces.“M - Maisie,” The voice that left his lips even sounded foreign to him.She did not move. She did not speak but only stared back at him emotionlessly. Her face was bruised, her lips s

Alice's brows furrowed as her gaze focused on the wheels of Maisie’s bed. She felt a pull on her hand and looked up only to meet Kevin’s eyes.“Are you coming?” He asked.Deep in thought, she gazed at him for a few seconds until her attention was drawn to the ringing of her phone. Without looking at the caller Id she answered almost like knowing who it was. Without saying a word, she held the phone against her ear.“Come home. You have 30 minutes.” Left with only those words the call ended.Alice gazed forward. She lowered the phone with a cold expression and turned to Kevin.“I have some personal matter to deal with first.”Kevin frowned. Uneasiness suddenly overwhelmed him. He could not understand the agitation he felt.“I’ll come with you,” Kevin said without hesitance.“No, Kevin. Maisie has yet to awaken. Your family needs you here. I will deal with my matters and then return.”Kevin could not rebuke her request and could only look as she walked away.He has dealt with many matte

Kevin felt something wet dripping on him. He looked up and noticed the dark clouds above him. The rain poured down upon him. He sat like that for a few moments before he stood up with Alice in his arms. He walked toward his car, opened the back door, and laid her gently on the back seat. He wiped his tears roughly with his arm as he walked toward the driver's side and slid behind the wheel. He started the car and drove off.Kevin stood in the field. The rain had stopped but the clouds were still thick and dark in the air.With the shovel in his hand, he looked down at Alice’s grave a few km from the Orphanage that had burned down. This was their place, where they were happy, and this is the place where he wanted her to rest. Kevin slid on his knees. The gentle breeze blew past him leaving no sound. Like an ocean takes the dirty sand so has my heart been taken away with you. Only a shell of a man remains.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Kevin disappeared after the death of Alice. He chang
