Culpa Nuestra Book Novels & Stories

Kali's grip holding me down, I could hear the creaking of my skull underneath her strength. "You're not focused," she said. "Stop thinking about how you have failed and how it was never really your fault. You're just a byproduct of your society." "It's not my fault," I squeezed out. "Of course it is. Do you believe that you aren't at fault for your own demise? I know how you've lived. You steal, kill, and lie your way through life." "You don't know me!"

Frustrated, I rested my head on the glass window of the car and hoped that my disobedience won't lead to a greater consequence. I'm sorry, uncle. I wish to be a burden to you no more, but I only live for justice's sake. Thank you for reading. 😊💖

“Lena was my responsibility. You are my responsibility and so is Maya. I’m the one who has to apologize-” “No.” I grabbed his hand, realizing that we are all just victims here. We shouldn’t carry the burden put upon us by the mafia, or those men that Lena was working for. “It’s not your fault, either, Roman. If not for you, Maya and those girls will still be in the hands of the mafia.”

"Lucius... I'm nothing but a worthless mother." "No..." The young man shook his head. "What are you talking about, Estella? We're starting over again. We will build a family again.." "It's not that easy, Lucius!" She sobbed. "God is punishing me and I don't want you to suffer that punishment too! I don't want you to be harmed because of me. These things just happen to me because I'm a bad person! It's all my fault. My fault.." "It's not your fault-"

Ara and I started walking again, laughing silently at how Manang Zabeth grumbled as she walked away. At that moment, we had forgotten our own worries. We were instead talking about how painful it would be for Maezy when she would start paying for her debts. "Vengeance is not ours but the Lord's. That's why I wouldn't give them the joy of seeing me hurting." I didn't expect Ara would be as strong as this. All these times, I was worried about how to break it to her gently. I was afraid that the pain of knowing the truth would affect her pregnancy. But I realized I was wrong.

“We, um… offended her. Years ago, when our parents died, we did not protect her. She was accused of things she never did, and instead of standing by her, we turned away. I was the worst of them all. But now, we’ve found the real person responsible. They’ve been punished, and all we want is to bring Reina home.” My hand clenched around the edge of the dresser. Lies. Every word out of his mouth burned my ears. I wanted to swing the door open and throw the truth in his face, but something about his tone stopped me. There was no arrogance, no single pride. Guapo, who had always carried himself like a god among men was now sounding so broken? Celine let out a long breath. “That’s… a lot.” “I unde

“The woman that killed our child. It was all my fault, Kayla.” “No, Rafael. It’s not” I clinched around his face, locking my eyes into his. “Somewhere deep down, I know I’m to blame because I’ve hurt you in so many ways than I can count—“ “We hurt each other” I muttered. “And for how long is that supposed to go on for?” He replied me. “It’s not your fault” I argued. “Rafael, this is everything but your fault.”

Ben was crying harder, he could feel the pain I am in now. “When I woke up in that forest, I was so scared. I couldn’t remember anything. Think how it feels you wake up from your coma and doctor says that you are pregnant,” I snort. “Ben means the world to me; he is all I have known.

Colene clasped Lyla's hand and teared up when she thought back on Lyla's suffering. Lyla inhaled deeply and gave her a light nod with a nervous heart. Anne and Nina had been waiting for this day, just like she did. She had never dreamed that she would see Sophia in court for the judgment. Putting aside the outcome, she was glad to see Sophia held accountable. "Karma is real.
