Chapter 10.

Foria's POV.I woke up because of the noise around. I don't know where I am but I heard something beeping. I also heard my mother and brother talking, it just didn’t enter my brain.I slowly opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was light. Because of it, I closed my eyes. I moaned a little and slowly opened my eyes again. “Foria!” “Maxine!”I quickly turned to my right when I heard a lot of voices. I saw my Brother, Mother and my friends running towards me with worry written on their faces."Are you okay? Does anything hurt?"“Why are you moaning? Are you hurting?”"Where does it hurt?"They asked me questions at the same time and I just looked at them, not knowing what to answer. They kept on asking me questions and it made me suffocated. My head hurts even more.“I-I can't breathe," I said making their eyes widen.“What?! Call the doctor!” Mom said in panic making them panic too."A-Ah, no—" I was cut off when I saw Jerome already left the room. Even if I wanted to stop them an

Chapter 11.

Foria's POV."Mommy!"My forehead creased when I heard a loud voice. I groaned and rolled over. I want to continue what I was dreaming. "Mommy! Mommy! Wake up!”I sighed and faced him. I opened my eyes and looked at my son who was looking at me, smiling. He seems to be having a good day today. I feel a positive air from him. "Hello, Mommy! Good morning!”I smiled then sat down slightly and leaned on the headboard. I kissed his forehead. “Good morning, Handsome Maxim," I greeted back. He giggled.He likes to be praise him so much that we always say that to him. I don't know where he inherited that trait from because Kuya Angelo and I are not like that. And Mama is not like that also and even our late Father. But even though he likes that, it made me happy. He makes me happy. "Why are you doing here early in the morning, Son?" I asked softly while combing his black hair.He adjusted his seat. "Grandma was cooking in the kitchen and she told me to wake you up. I think that Gran

Chapter 12.

Foria's POV."I'm sorry...""Please, I'm sorry. Forgive me." "Maxine! I did not mean it!"I gasped and looked at the ceiling with big eyes. The corners of my eyes started to heat up. After a few minutes, I realized that I was sobbing and my tears were flowing down to my cheeks."Maxine? Maxine!”"Foria! Oh my god!”I felt someone hugged me but I didn't bother to look who it was. I was holding my chest because it hurt so much. It looks like something heavy in there. I felt like it was squeezed by someone. It's so painful. It felt like it was already bleeding.I was having trouble breathing because of my sobs. I can't seem to stop myself crying. I was gasping for air. "P-Please... I don’t want this..." I said with difficulty and tightened my grip on my chest. The pain was still not gone. It seems like it was permanent.Even though I didn't see his face, I knew it was from him. The voice of the man who ruined my life. He was begging for me to forgive him. But instead of being happy, I

Chapter 13.

Foria's POV."Where are you?" Jannica asked in the other line.I glanced at my phone on my side before turning my car around. I was wearing an AirPods so that I could hear her well."I'm on my way, Jannica. It's little traffic,” I answered, bored.I was still on the road forty minutes ago because it was very traffic. Good thing I have a lot of patience, I might be screaming here if I don't have it. I would not waste my time on that nonsense thing anyway. It will just ruin my beauty."You said that forty minutes ago and you are still not here. The photographer kept on asking me where you are," she exclaims."I'm close! I can see the building from here," I said while looking at the building where my photoshoot was held."My goodness, Foria. We have been waiting here for hours now. Sir Liam just got here. He's looking for you while frowning," I think she wants to make me feel guilty.I know that Liam doesn't want to waste any time. He always wants us to be on time.Even though I have b

Chapter 14.

Foria's POV.I woke up from a noise. My sight was directly to the light making me close my eyes again.I slowly opened my eyes again. I blinked when I smelled the familiar scent. Am I in the hospital? What happened to me?I turned to my side. I am inside a room in the hospital. I took a deep breath and tried to sit up. But I only went back to bed when my head suddenly hurt. I held my hand and closed my eyes.I let out a breath again and tried to sit up. I kept moaning because my body also hurt. But the door suddenly opened causing me to look there.My eyes widened when I saw the man I didn't expect to see here. He was looking at me with wide eyes and he froze from where he was standing. He was holding a white bag, I don't know what was inside. Why is he here?!But what's also surprising is that I felt a little bit of fear of him, not like I've lost myself whenever I see him. But why is it so little now? I felt scared that he might do something to me again but there was something weir

Chapter 15.

Foria's POVI was now staring at Darren who was sitting on a long sofa, opposite my bed. I was leaning at the headboard while looking at him. He bowed his head as if he didn't want to talk to me. But I will not let it pass this time. This is the right time to talk to him and confront him about it.After I ate earlier, the two of us were silent while he helped me go to the bathroom to pee and brush my teeth. He also gently assisted me to bed even though I didn't need it. I am just stressed, not disabled.We waited who would speak first, but after a few minutes, none of us broke the silence. It seems like when someone speaks, something bad will happen to him."Where's my family? Why aren't they here?” and finally, I already dared to speak.I woke up here without anyone. He's the only one I'm with here. My family should be here. They must know that I'm here.He looked up at me. "I-I don't know how to contact them. I don't have a number...” good thing he didn't stutter much anymore. My
