That night, Irene’s car sped down the empty street, headlights slicing through the suffocating darkness.Bang!A single gunshot shattered the silence—deafening, terrifying.The car window exploded, glass scattering across the seats, shimmering faintly under the dim streetlight. Chaos erupted. Terrified screams rang out as the few open shops hurriedly pulled down their shutters.The driver went pale, trembling in fear. The vehicle swerved violently, tires screeching before crashing into the curb. His head slammed against the steering wheel, and he collapsed into unconsciousness.Beside him, Irene blinked rapidly, dazed by the brutal impact. She pressed a trembling hand to her throbbing forehead, trying to piece together what had just happened. Through the shattered glass, she caught sight of flickering flames in the distance.“My God!”Too late, she realized they were caught in the middle of a deadly crossfire—gangs locked in a vicious battle for blood.Forcing herself to remain calm,

She worked hard to finish her studies and even graduated with honors. But fate had been cruel. All her plans for a better future for the two of them crumbled the moment she fell in love with Dave—the man who brought nothing but misfortune. Now, regret consumed her. If only she had chosen their well-being over the reckless pull of her emotions, perhaps her mother would not be lying in a hospital bed, clinging to life.A wave of sorrow washed over Irene as she looked at her mother’s frail condition once more. Just as earlier, Aling Lourdes was still unconscious, dependent only on the life support that kept her breathing.Hot tears streamed down Irene’s cheeks. During the three long years she spent in prison, she never once received news that her mother had fall
