A Quest For Vengeance のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Groaning, I regained consciousness and just like like, everything that happened a while ago came rushing back into my system like a flood. Hot, fat tears ran down my cheeks like a loose faucet. Right in front of me, my entire world came crumbling down and I couldn't do anything to help. I was useless! Like a raging bull, I got up and pushed open the door, but to my horror, I met an empty living room. "Dad? Dad?" I screamed for him, but my efforts were futile. Knowing they couldn't have gone far, I raced outside and true to my words, I sighted them, throwing his body in the trunk of a black truck. I raced towards them, but at that very moment, the vehicle began to move. "No!" I continued running after the vehicle until my legs became jelly and I fell flat on my face. "Give him back to me." I cried intermittently. The image of his lifeless body in the pool of his blood suddenly flashed in my mind. "DAD! DAD!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs until my voice croaked and began to br

"Do you really plan on leaving Cebu? Where do you plan to go, bes?" Mia inquired. I had finally been discharged from the hospital after a few days later and was busy packing my stuff. "Can't you please just stay?" Her voice was laced with genuine worry. It was evident she did not want me to leave the province, but there was absolutely nothing she could do to convince me. I was hellbent of seeking vengeance for my father's death. I couldn't be stopped. Not even by my best friend. "Please reconsider," she continued. "You're not in the right state of mind and knowing you, you might do something reckless."I would admit, she was not wrong about that — I had always acted on impulse, but this time around, my actions would be justified. "Don't worry about me, Mia," I smiled, tightly. "I will be fine. I won't stop, until I get even with those monsters that ruined my life." The promise was more to myself. It was a vow I was ready to do anything to fulfill. There will surely pay in a dreadful

"I feel so uncomfortable in this dress." I voiced out, adjusting the neck of the navy blue dress I was putting on — the dress Rosa borrowed me, because obviously, I didn't have any decent looking dress that would suit the occasion. I felt really uncomfortable in the dress. I wasn't really used to getting all dressed up. Rosa had wanted to force me into painting my face as well, but I strongly objected. It wasn't really my thing. I felt I always looked ugly whenever I had makeup on. I was comfortable with just my nude lipgloss on. "Don't worry, babes, you look stunning." Rosa reassured. "To be honest, you look different. Like someone else." Of course — I mentally rolled my eyes. I wasn't blind myself. I looked like someone else indeed. The dress I was putting on was borrowed, the bag, as well as the shoes. What did she expect? I was practically a counterfeitress. "Yeah, right." I slurred. "Do you think I'm going to meet the one for me, tonight?" She emphasised, flicking her long eye

Sauntering towards him, I could feel his gaze on me, but I pretended to be oblivious. Immediately I was few inches away from him, I pretended to trip and in the process, threw my drink all over his pants. "Oh no!" I gasped, feigning remorse. "I'm so so sorry for that. I'm usually not this clumsy. I must be tipsy from all the drink I've consumed tonight. I'm going to pay for the damages if you want." I mentally cringed at my own words. What if he actually agreed to what I said? Where was I ever going to get such a huge amount of money? "Once again, I'm terribly-" He suddenly cut me off by chuckling. Oh my! He actually chuckled! "It was a honest mistake." He justified. "...and I don't hold grudges against people for little mistakes, especially if the mistake is coming from a beautiful lady such as yourself." I suppressed the urge to roll my eyes at his comment and pretended to blush instead. "Thankfully, the stain isn't too obvious. I will just go to the restroom and have it clean

My eyes opened to the white walls of the hospital. I wanted to sit up, but pain instantly surged into my heavily bandaged head, making me lie back down. Reminisces of how I ended up in the hospital flooded my mind. It was a huge step I had to take in order to get his attention. Indisputably, he was never going to notice me, if I hadn't taken this huge step. I just wished he didn't just bring me to the hospital and left - If that was the case, then my efforts would go down the drain. I groaned as I felt a throbbing pain in my head. I tried to move my legs, but horrifically, I couldn't. My breath hitched in my throat and I began to shake my head, vigorously. I wasn't paralysed. No, I wasn't. "No!" I shrilled.Immediately, a female nurse ran to my aid. "Ma'am, please calm down. Where does it hurt?""I...can't...why can't I move my legs?" Tears trickled down my cheeks. "Why the hell can't I move my legs?" I boomed and wrapped my hands around my throbbing head, that was about to rip into t
