Handwritten Destiny

Rainbow What I had was something not perfect but I was content. Although the life I lived was not luxurious, it was happy. It's hard sometimes but it's also manageable. I got so used to the warmth that I wasn't able to brace myself for the cold and dark. That's what became of us when my mother died. She was our warmth and light. Now that she is gone, everything has become dark for me and my father. "Dad, that’s enough. You're drunk," I shook his shoulder. He only answered me with a weak grunt. It's been a few months since Mom died. Since then, this scene is what I always come across every time I come home from school. My drunk dad. The many times he had been like that, I eventually got used to it. I didn't complain every time I came home hungry and there was no food in the kitchen. Sometimes it's morning when he comes home from somewhere, drunk. Everything really turned upside down when my mom left us. "Dad, I'm hungry," I whined one day when I couldn't help it anymore. I really

Payment A loud ring deafened my ears. I don't fully understand what my friends are saying. I can see their mouth moving but I can't hear a word they're saying. I became aware of myself being supported by the three of them and from there, my hearing gradually became clearer. "Oh my god, Almene!" I heard Julienne scream. Julienne the Avery held both of my shoulders. The two's cheeks were full of tears. "W-What did you say?" I asked trembling. I can no longer fully balance myself. They both looked away while Nathan tightened his jaw staring at me. I can see pity in his eyes. I tried to get out of their grip and was about to leave the church to go to Francis' family. Avery held me back that's why I turned her hand away in annoyance. "What?!" "Almene..." they said with difficulty. "T-Tell me. W-What happened to F-Francis?" I glared at the three of them and didn't stop until someone broke the silence. "He had an accident on his way here," it was Nathan who managed to break the new

Marry I wish I could deny the reality of the things happening right now. That's what I think about as we travel wherever we're going. While moving farther, I see fewer and fewer houses. Honestly, I want to tremble with fear. I don't know what these men are planning. Even though they don't look bad, I'm still not reassured. And who are we meeting by the way? Is it some old and grumpy billionaire? Oh god. "I just want to clarify something here..." I began. The man named Raul turned to me. While the man next to him just looked at me slightly and looked back outside. "Yes, what is it, Miss Villareal?" I breathe hard before giving Raul my full attention. "Just because I came now doesn't mean I'm willing to do whatever your boss wants. Or whatever he and my Dad talked about. I came with you to personally talk to your boss. That's all and nothing else. " After saying that, I looked back at the window. I heard Raul clear his throat and shifted in his seat. "Uhmm... He's well-informed

Yes I felt heavy the next morning. I haven't had a proper sleep these past few days. My breath is also hot and it looks like I have a fever. I closed my eyes again when my head hurt. "Oh damn." I woke up when I remembered what happened last night. I would like to think that there is a way out of the situation I am in now. But hearing that devil's threats left me hopeless. I forced myself to get up and prepare for work. I caught up with Dad preparing breakfast when I left the room. He turned to me and smiled awkwardly. I ignored him and went straight to the door. "A-Aren't you going to have breakfast first, Almene?" He chased. I was slightly stunned by what I heard. And the way he's acting like this pissed me off even more. I have many hurtful words to say. And I feel like I can finally be at peace if I let out all the anger I have because of what's happening. I finally faced him and stepped closer. I only stopped when I felt pain in my head. "How did you get into that casino?"

Goodnight I feel like floating as the stylist helped me get dressed. I'm in a high-end store to try on a few dresses to Lideon's liking. I just finished the spa and salon which is also the bastard’s scheme. I looked at myself in the mirror. My eyes are a little puffy from the headache and fever. If only it wasn't a sin to kill, that man would've ceased to exist in this world. What he's making me do is infuriating. I'm wearing a light peach tube dress. The length is above the knee and it fits my body shape just right. My hair is rolled up into a messy bun and a few strands of hair are on the side of my cheek. My light make-up complimented my fair complexion as well as the accessories. Even so, I couldn't bring to praise myself. Truly I look different with these extravagances on, but that doesn't cover the emptiness I feel. "You look great, Miss Villareal." I smiled lightly at Raul. Somehow I felt better with his presence. He accompanied me to this place and waited patiently with t
