After Kim tapped Ian repeatedly, he finally opened his eyes and asked, "Has the truck stopped?"She heaved a sigh of relief and nodded, "Yes, there are voices approaching. I think the men are headed in this direction.'Ian opened the door and came out of the truck. He helped Kim out of the truck as well and closed the door.As the voices drew nearer, Kim said, "We don't know if they're bad or good men. Let's leave here and look for a hotel."They walked away from the truck, crossing to the other side of the road, and began to move through the bushes. Ian suggested that they hitch a ride, but Kim said it was too dangerous. It was better they continue trekking until they found a hotel or motel to lodge.After a while, though, Kim heard a sound and turned to see that Ian had fallen on the ground. She stared at him in surprise, completely horrified, and bent over to shake him, but there was no response from him. "Ian, Ian, wake up," she said anxiously, but he still did not respond. She a

In the morning, about four hours later, Kim opened her eyes and woke up. It was still a little bit dark outside. She yawned and felt very thirsty. She thought of asking Ian for a glass of water, but when she saw that he was still sound asleep, so, she decided not to disturb him and left the room to get water from the living room.As she came out of the room, she walked around the house as carefully as possible, searching for the location of the kitchen while being careful not to be seen by anyone. But in the end, she told herself that if his father caught her, it wouldn't be a big deal since Ian had already said he was going to tell his father everything.She finally located the kitchen, poured a glass of water for herself, and drank it. Afterward, she began heading back to her room. However, the sound of a couple moaning caught her attention, and she stopped. She stared in the direction that the sound was coming from and began to wonder who the woman in the room was because she felt

Ian's father and Kim's stepmother stared at her in surprise while Ian said, "Let me ask you again, Dad. Did you really see Kim in that coffin before she was put into the ground?"Ian's father, who couldn't take his eyes off Kim, began to stutter, "I... I... Well... Uhm..."Ian shook his head. "What do you have to say, Kim's stepmother?"She kept silent, knowing that she had already been caught.Ian moved backward. "Dad, do you know that I am most disappointed in you? Not only did you commit a crime, you lied to my face. Even when I gave you one last chance to come clean, you still lied to my face. You disgust me, and I regret the fact that I was ever born to you. You're a disgrace to humanity, Dad.""Don't say that," Ian's father replied. "Please listen to me.""Listen to you? Listen to you for what? What do you want to tell me, that you're sorry? Do you want to apologize to me or Kim? What difference would it make? Would it change the fact that Kim went through hell? Would it change

When Beatrice arrived home, Wendy, who was alone, got up and stared at her in surprise. "What happened to you, Mom?" she asked. She was surprised because of Beatrice's disheveled appearance, which was in contrast to how she had looked when she left the previous day. The day before, she had left the house with her luggage, looking elegant, and told them that she had a very important meeting to attend outside of town. So, she wasn't expected to be back until two days later. But now, she was in her nightwear, without any luggage, and there was a handprint on one side of her face that had turned red. It was obvious that she had been hit, and Wendy was shocked by it.Hearing Wendy's question, Beatrice fell to the ground and began to cry, "I was robbed. They took everything from me.""What? Who? When? Where?"Beatrice got up from the ground, "It doesn't matter anymore now, does it? I still have my meeting to get back to. I was on a bus, and I arrived at my hotel late. Just outside the ho

Kim began to narrate, "It all began on the 19th of July, more than three months ago. I was on the rooftop with my boyfriend, singing and dancing, when suddenly I became short of breath. I was rushed to the hospital, to be precise, New Life Specialist Hospital and the doctor who attended to me was Dr. Pascal. I was diagnosed with cancer of the blood; Leukemia, and he said I had a very short time left to live. Seeking a second opinion, I was taken to Richard City Hospital, where one of the best doctors, Dr. Richard Barn, attended to me. He consulted with other specialists, and it was concluded that I had leukemia with a short life expectancy.During that period, I tried to make the most of my life, doing the few things I always wanted. Of course, I didn't want to die, just like no one wants to die, but I believed there was no solution. My boyfriend, Ian, was distraught but stayed by my side throughout this journey. On the night of our prom, we were crowned prom king and queen. Many p
