"He's alive..." I just shook my head while riding in my car.It's been a month since the incident, and we are all shocked to know that Matthew—Sophia's lover—is alive.I ran my fingers through my hair and started revving the car's engine. I was about to run it when my tab suddenly vibrated for a notification. I caught a glimpse and immediately started the car when I saw it.He's leaving. My previously attached cameras still remain attached. I didn't remove it, even though I wasn't watching him anymore. It was by chance that the notification caught my attention.I smiled rawly as the car sped up. Ever since I saw the scene in the parking lot, I haven't spoken to Dela Merced. He would often wait for me outside my unit to try to talk to him, which I repeatedly refused.What else are we talking about?I was planning to go straight home, but I decided to take a walk at the mall first. I feel like I've been under a lot of stress these past few days, and even though I know the reason, I'm t

"Thank you," Jairon said as he sat on my side.We are here now in the garden of their house, sitting while looking at the stars and the shining moon."For what?" I looked at him with one eyebrow raised.He didn't look at me; instead, he just stared at the night sky as his lips formed a little smile. "If it wasn't for what you did, I might not be with my sister now," he said.I took a deep breath and also looked at the sky. "Anyone would do what I did if they were in my position," I said softly.There was a moment of silence between us. I could clearly hear the chirping of crickets."That's when I fully understood your feelings." He paused again.I looked at him slowly. He forced a smile, then glanced at me."Your pain, your hatred, your regrets."I was stunned for a moment and looked away. I was speechless because I didn't know what I should say at this time."I really understand now the fear of losing anyone."I smiled bitterly and stared at the moon. "It hurts to lose a loved one,"

The next day, I could feel the difference in Jairon, like he was restless or something."Are you having diarrhea?" I was curious when I couldn't stand his look anymore.He even beat the one who was about to poop as he sweated it all out. He was at my condo again after he got dressed at his house. I'm currently fixing my appearance in the mirror while watching him rub his hand slowly.He quickly fixed us up and then looked at me. He even smiled at me and shook his head."I am just... excited," he said.My lips twitched because of that. "We often go out on dates, but now you've changed," I said with a shrug.He just laughed, though it seems like he was forced to do it. "Don't mind me. Just continue fixing yourself."I rolled my eyes at him and continued tying my hair. I put a little powder on my face and lipstick to finish my makeup."Let's go." I stood up and held out the mini-bag I had prepared.He looked at me from head to toe and smiled. "Gorgeous," he commented.My cheeks automatic

"How did this happen?" I weakly asked my friends."They've been planning everything since your father left for Singapore," Aycxe began as she handed me her cell phone.My teeth gritted when I saw the photo. There is a large K, the sign of their group, on the road where Daddy's car exploded. The photo also had a message that made me hate everything.You messed up with my business; now it's time to repay you. - Farro "Why didn't you inform me of your actions alone?" Aycxe asked coldly.I was consumed by remorse for my secrecy before. I couldn't answer Aycxe's question; instead, I sat on the floor, feeling weak. Noella, Shiela, and Sophia quickly came to my aid.I silently burst into tears. "It's my fault. It's all my fault.""No one expected this, Rose. Stop blaming yourself," Sophia said while tapping my shoulder.I shook my head. "If... if I had said what I did before. I hope we were alert to their movements. I know I've been careless lately. I became too complacent; I focused too mu

I am ready to end my life. Just one step and I will fall completely into the deep river. That's how I was surprised when a strong force pulled me back and locked me in a strong body."Fuck! Damn it!" a familiar voice exclaimed."J-Jairon?" I stuttered calling his name.He loosened his grip on me, then worriedly checked my whole body. "Are you okay?" he asked.I cried even more. I hit him lightly on the chest and pushed him."Why are you here? Why did you stop me?"He hugged me again and pulled me tightly. "Bae, this is not the solution to all your problems," he murmured as he kept kissing my head.I tried to struggle, but I was tightly locked in his arms. "Let me die, Jairon. I don't deserve to live," I mumbled in the middle of my sobs."Ssshhh. I get it; you're emotionally stressed. Please rest, Quennie. Stop thinking this sh*t."I weakly stopped untying him and just cried and cried. "You don't understand, Jairon. It's hard... it's hard to wake up every moment knowing that I killed..
