“You have the will to live and the fearlessness to accept death. If you come across a life and death situation next time, choose your will. Then the fearlessness will follow.” “I don’t think I understand you,” I mumbled while looking down. “Wait, next time?” He chuckled. “This isn’t funny! I don’t want a next time!” “We don’t get to decide that, now do we?” I bit my lip. No, we didn’t. We had no way of knowing what might happen tomorrow, just as I didn’t know I was going to get attacked today, just as I didn’t know I was going to get saved.

She heard the sound of Xyl moving a page from the book he was reading. "I'm scared." Sandra laughed softly. "Why? What if things will change for the better?" Xyl put down the book she was holding while Sandra kept her back turned to him. "I don't want to risk everything for uncertainties." "Hmm? They say, 'take the risk or lose the chance.'" Xyl shrugged.

He gave me a teasing look, like he knew what I was thinking. “Well, you have to be in the mood for it,” I replied, leaning back in the booth, still looking at my menu. “But sometimes, it’s about taking a risk. You know?” He chuckled, the sound warm and easy. “Taking risks, huh? Yeah, I can get behind that. I’ve had my share of those.” He shrugged casually, almost nonchalantly. “Started my own company with almost no money. Almost lost it all, but it worked out. Sometimes you just have to take the leap.”

"Are we going to wait for these crazy rules to take us out one by one?!" He believed in his own instincts and wasn't afraid to take a risk. "Listen! It's just like business. Every opportunity comes with a risk. But if you don't take the risk, you'll never profit! This is the same. If we don't take a risk, we'll never have a chance to survive!" Boom said, quoting his personal mantra, as if to instill confidence in himself.

Why don’t you give yourself a chance to be loved and give love in return…” Diane said as she gave me the “Why don’t you try to look” and Give yourself a chance… “Don’t push it too hard… I believe love comes at an unexpected time! You know what, let not just discuss this. Will just end up arguing again, I don’t want to ruin this travel..”

He asks me and I'm still silent. "I'll take that as a yes then." He says. "Fine. But don't expect anything. One chance." I say, and the butterflies start swarming in my tummy again. "That's all I need. I'll see you later little one." He says, and he hangs up. I get into the shower, make myself breakfast and coffee and climb back into bed. Trying to figure all of this out. Before I knew it, it was 6 o clock. It was then and there that I decided to buckle up and enjoy the ride. It's not every day this happens. Knowing me, this will be my once in a lifetime.

I didn’t know how to counter that argument. The truth is I still do have to watch Muna a whole lot, especially with him now spending more time at the hospital. But I love the child so much, I would do it for free. That, and the fact I am no longer so scared of the unknown to keep piling money in my account for a rainy day.

I knew Alma had come to threaten me and she could just decide to do anything foolish but I was not ready to sacrifice my hard efforts with a small mistake either. I tried not to look at her anymore since it made me uncomfortable and also to have goosebumps. Her expressions also gave a warning. " No one can black mail me .not at least today, I must marry Whitney then later look for my daughter." I told myself. Whitney looked flawless, her smiles was intoxicating.

Reading from her facial expressions, she loved how the church looked like paradise since

Somewhere just for me.” Alexander’s brow furrowed slightly, a flicker of surprise passing through his eyes. “What kind of risk?”
