Lahat ng Kabanata ng Something In Between Love : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

CHAPTER 1 I navigated my way through the crowded sidewalk, the sweet scent of food emitting from the food trucks by the side of the street floated through my nostrils, a ghost of breeze blew through my dark brown shoulder-length hair as I sprinted, the slit on my dress spread, revealing my caramel thigh as I rush through the crowd, I stumbled slightly when my stilettos painfully pinched my feet.Tears marred my vision, and my breath caught in my throat when the painful memory flashed before my eyes. I couldn't believe Felix Jones had finally shown himself to me. But why now? after 2 years of going AWOL? I didn't care to know now, the urge to slap him hard across the face was stronger than anything I had ever felt. My relationship with Felix Jones was nothing peculiar. He showered me with sweet words dripping like honey and clinging to me every second and when I shared my dreams of building a home he proposed to me right there and I thought this could finally be it. The dream of ha

CHAPTER 3 I tried hard not to pass out at the shocking sight in front of me, I staggered back a bit as I tried to breathe steadily in an attempt to calm my nerves. Felix had a sinister smirk on his lips, clearly enjoying how flustered I was. "Where's Seb?" Sophia asked, oblivious of how flustered I was. Sophia is in her early twenties with striking features. She has a straight nose, an oval-shaped face, fair skin, and a beauty mark on the right side of her nose, thick dark glossy hair pin straight cascading down her waist like a waterfall, she dyed the tip blonde to indicate a bet she lost to Theo. Her almond-shaped eyes and very dark brown eyes held confidence and shone with mischief, she always stood tall at 5'6. "With your parents." I managed to respond. "Alright," she nodded and turned to leave. I let out a sigh of relief but she turned around again and I held my breath. "Oh! Silly me, I forgot to introduce my new acquaintance. Emily, meet Felix Jones. He's an engineer," So

CHAPTER 5Emily's POV I entered my two-bedroom apartment and immediately I could hear them. I hurriedly marched up to Emma's room and the argument intensified. I hurriedly went back to our open turquoise-colored kitchen grabbed a knife hanging on the kitchen wall and gently stalked toward Emma's room. "Let go of me you piece of shit!" I watched as Emma struggled with a man twice her size, she wore a shirt barely covering her buttocks. The room was scattered with torn books and papers, pillow cotton everywhere–as if a went off in the room. Giovanni stood above her like a growing shadow. "Where is it, Emma? Where did you hide it?!" "I'm not telling you!" Emma's nose flared and her busted lips looked like they would split more if she said another word. He raised his hand to hit her."I'll chop your hand off if you touch my sister again." They both stilled at my voice. I approached them with a knife pointed at Giovanni. His dark sweaty chest heaved with heavy breaths as he releas

CHAPTER SEVEN Emily's POV I pushed through the glass hospital doors, past the busy lobby flooding with patients, who were being wheeled around on wheelchairs by their guardians, some could barely walk but were managing to while some were supported by impatient nurses who threw a glare and raised their voices at them once every few seconds. My heart thumped faster and I briskly hurried after Sam, who came to my rescue after the spectacle Sophia showcased. Now we can't get a hold of her. Sam was leading me straight to the VIP hallway, I immediately straightened my spine and prepared my mind for Sebastian's temper and how to thaw it. I clutched my iPad just in case I needed a counter plan. Sam swiped the card key and the wooden door slid open, he entered but I stopped. Before I could summon the courage to step in, Sebastian opened the door. I inhaled sharply at the stone-cold look in his vacant eyes. His stubbled jaw tightened, his hair was mussed as if he had repeatedly run his h

CHAPTER NINE Emily's POV Once upon a time, I thought I'd be thrilled to be in the audience when Sebastian Crest would experience a trickle of pain just as I had endured pains inflicted by him through the years. But as I witnessed his breaking point I felt a strange sense of pity. The door opened, revealing Theo's panic features. "Em, I heard the noise…""I don't know what happened to him–""Can you give us a minute?" "Of- of course." Frazzled, I nodded rapidly. I stood on jelly legs and headed for the door."Seb, buddy, let's get you some meds alright?" Theo's timbre voice coaxed. As if he was speaking to a child.I silently walked through the quiet hallway, down the stairs into the now empty living room. It was as if a dark and gloomy cloud hung above the house now that all the guests had dispatched. I rubbed my arms as if feeling the loneliness on my skin, I also wanted to go home and pretend today never happened."Em," Kate approached me. "Kate, it's good that I found you," I
