Alana is sweet and cheerful. His mother is the single most important person in his life. He grew up with a simple life on a beautiful island. Until his mother died, someone suddenly showed up and wanted to adopt him and promised to send him to school in the city so he agreed to come here. He doesn't know what he will do and what kind of life he will face but with his mother's wishes for him to finish his education, he will make it happen. ~ ~ ~ Due to a scandal involving one of Roman's business partners, he and his businesses are affected. So it agreed to pay off all debts and fix other problems it had caused. But unfortunately, it didn't give a single penny. He was so surprised that he offered him a 'thing' in return. It's not something because it pays him but his own son. >>CHAPTER 1<< [ALANA] He ran back to his house. He had just bought medicine for his sick mother and he needed to get home immediately so she could take it. Although he is worried about his mother's condition, he is still thankful that even though their state is poor, someone helps them with their daily expenses. All his life, the beautiful island has surrounded him. He never once thought of leaving here because the place is so beautiful, especially the sea. No matter where he goes, he will never forget the beauty of this place. His mother is sick. He is weak and sometimes has asthma attacks. He has no job and is in bed all day. At the age of seventeen, he only finished school until grade six because he had to watch over his mother, also help her with her needs and household chores. Even if their situation is like this, there are good people who help them. Someone sends them food, household necessities as well as money every month. His mother said that the parcels for them came from their distant relatives. He also wants to help or find a job but his mom is against him doing that. Fortunately, he was allowed to help his mother's acquaintance and friend, Aling Martha. It has its own calendar. Sometimes, he was there to help and gave him money and food. She is kind and this is also the person she considered her friend and second mother. This is the life he grew up with, he is content. Quiet, simple, and he still lives in this beautiful place. "Mom, I'm here!" he took off his slippers and ran into the room where his mother was. "I brought your medicine, Mama." "Thank you. Please help me open, Alana." He immediately opened the medicines he bought. It was too much and he didn't know how his Mama could drink it. He gave her the medicines and a glass of water. He is worried about his Mom because it's not like it used to be that if she took medicine right away, she would feel better but now, she's always in bed and pale. "Thank you, son." "Mama, are you sure you're feeling good? You're still pale, aren't you?" "I'm fine. I've taken medicine and I'll feel better soon." "Shall we go to the hospital to see how you are doing?" It shook its head. "Don't. We'll have a hard time getting out of the city. By the way, are you going to Aling Martha later?" "Yes. I'm going there to help with the reception." Aling Martha was hired as a caterer for her son's wedding. "It's good that Aling Martha's business is growing and she will even be the caterer at her daughter's wedding." "Yes, yes. Mama, Aling Martha said she would make me a flower girl." He has good news here. It was happy. "Wow! I'm sure you were the best flower girl at the wedding." "Yes! I'm your heir, right!" He fixed his red hair. "Oh, time has passed so quickly. My daughter is now a young woman. It seems like only yesterday that I was always carrying you around to live." "Mom, why are you still saying that? It's better, you rest first and I'll cook our lunch." He helped her lie down on the bed and placed the medicine and water next to her. This is what his Mama always says when she says they need to go to the hospital. He doesn't know why he doesn't want to see a doctor. Totally, someone helps both of them for their needs, he is even more worried about this situation. Hopefully later, it will feel better. [ALANA] He finished the housework first. Then she said goodbye to her mother who was going to Aling Martha to help with the decorations for the reception. His daughter's wedding reception will be held at a small resort. He went inside and looked for Aling Martha. He went to the back of the house and it was there. "Which Mar, I'm here!" "It's good that you were early, Alana. Come and help me get the curtains." "Yes!" They went to a large venue and pulled back the curtains in the stock room. "Since it's been piled here for so long, it's turning yellow. Let's go back to the house to wash them right away." He followed her with the curtains. "My daughter is getting married. I thought I would never see my daughter walk down the altar wearing a wedding gown." He said this while washing. "Yes,
Chapter 1
The next day, he was here at the resort with Aling Martha and was sweeping up the scattered leaves and equipment that had been used last night at his son's wedding reception.
Even though he was busy sweeping, his mind was wandering about what happened last night. He never expected something like that to happen to him. It was the first scary thing he had ever experienced that someone would do that to him. He was very scared, but he was so relieved that someone saved him. A man who is very tall and very strong. He saw how it lifted the man so that those on the ground no longer glowed. He couldn't see her face or part of it because of the little light on the road. He wanted to, but because of the speed of the incident and fear, he immediately left and went home.
It's just frustrating because I didn't even understand what it said. He sighed. If only he had been able to continue his studies, he would have understood what the man who saved him said.
Hopefully, he will recognize it and appreciate it. I hope so.
"Alana!"
"Which Mar!" he was surprised and dropped the broom when he heard ALing Martha. "Why?"
"Why? I've been calling you for a while. What's happening to you, why are you so stupid?"
Oh? He didn't notice anymore. "I'm sorry, Aling Mar."
"Did something happen to your Mom?"
"Nothing. Mama is fine. What happened last night?"
"It's good. What happened last night?"
"Someone saved me last night."
"Saved?"
He told the whole story of last night. Very shocked and worried to hear what happened to him.
"I just didn't understand what he was telling me so I left immediately and said I didn't even see his face."
"Does your mom know this?"
He shook his head. "I didn't tell him because he might get worried and get worse. Don't tell him Aling Mar, please!"
"Yes. I think your mom's condition will worsen when she finds out. I wish I would have taken you home if that's what happened to you. It's good that someone helped you. So next time, go home early . That might happen again."
"Maybe not, Aling Mar."
"No. You'll be at the store until four in the afternoon."
"But, Which Mar---"
"It's a tough time right now, Alana. Even though we can say this place is safe, there are still people who will do bad things to others. It's better to be doubly careful, especially you. You and your mom are the only two here. Do you understand me, hija?"
"Yes." He couldn't do anything else. He will just follow Aling Martha. All he wants is to meet the person who saved him.
[Roman Manicci]
"He's been doing that for three years and you just found out?! Are you really working or just hanging out? I've been away for a week and this is what you're going to greet me with when I come back? Give me the reports! Now! "
He had just returned to the office after a week of business trips and attending the wedding of an acquaintance at a resort. After the wedding he attended, he immediately went home and was suddenly told that one of his administrators was making embarrassing news to the audience. News that even his name and what he has worked for for several years may suddenly disappear and he will never be able to get over it!
He was born into a rich family but that doesn't mean he won't make his own fortune. Everything he has today, he worked hard to build without any help from anyone until now at the age of thirty-two.
Then, this Francisco Caprio is the first person to do something stupid in his company?!
[Roman]
He threw the newspaper in his face that contained the news that he had hired a pro^^titute and was photographed entering a hotel. "I don't care how many paid women you sleep with but don't be fooled that you have a high position here in my company!"
"I apologize to you, Sir Macini. I didn't think there were photographers following me."
"That means you are stupid! Look, our enemy here is not only the media but also other business competitors. For sure they are very happy that you, me and the company have been scandalized. I hope you think! Use your brain, he doesn't bring you!"
"I'm really sorry. This will not happen again. If you insist that I resign from the position and the company, I will not stop you"
He shook his head and laughed. "Oh, no. I don't believe that sh^t. Didn't you remember that you owe me a huge unpaid debt? How are you going to resign?"
"I'll pay for it all. Don't worry. I'll find a way."
"I'll accept your resignation until the debt you owe me is paid in full. Make sure Francisco, don't ever run away from me."
"Yes, sir."
Even though he was older than her, she didn't care. He already knows what responsibility is hanging on his shoulders, but he seems to be acting like a child between the two of them.
[Alana POV]
"Mom, you have to eat the food." He begged his mother.
He shook his head and lowered his hand holding the spoon. "I'm full, son."
"But you just have a little bite, eh."
"Later, son. I just want to go back to bed."
He supported her and laid her on the bed. He notices that it is page by page and that he prefers to lie down rather than leave the house.
"By the way Alana, what do you want us to do for your birthday? You'll be eighteen years old next week."
Yes it is. "Nothing. Don't worry about my birthday. We will prioritize your health first."
"Alana, it's your birthday so we should make it a priority. We'll only celebrate it once and make sure, you're not a child anymore."
"Mom, I'm not a child."
"Alana, listen. When you reach the age of twenty-eight, you will become a woman. That means, you can be yourself and you will decide what you want to do with your life."
"Is that so, mom? Well, when I'm eighteen, will you agree to get checked up?"
"Why?" it was a surprising question.
"You said I can do whatever I want when I turn eighteen."
"Oh, you." It laughed. "Alright, what do you want for your birthday? Do you want us to prepare a party?"
"I don't want to, mom. I don't want to do anything on my birthday."
"That's not right, son. It's your birthday and then we won't get ready?"
"That's not really up to me, mom. If you really want it, maybe just have a little party with Aling Martha and Ate Julia."
"Alright, we'll do that and the ones we'll prepare are your favorite foods."
"Thank you, mom."
"Alana, listen to me. When you're at the right age, you should stand up and know whatever you want to be and decide in life. If you know you're not stepping on anyone, do what you think is right. And wherever you go, remember that mom loves you very much. Take good care of yourself."
"Mom, I'm really doing that. And I love you too. I promise I'll remember what you said. But mom, I want a present."
"What is that son and I will give it."
"After my birthday, let's check up, huh?" he said smiling.
"It's you. Go ahead."
"Yehey! Thanks, mom!"
Good thing his mom agreed. Honestly, he doesn't think about doing things that will change his life. He is doing well here. Life is quiet here on the beautiful island and with his mother and people he trusts wholeheartedly. That's it. he is happy, quiet and content with his life, he can only wish on his birthday that his mother's health will be good.
[Theresa (Mother/Parent) POV]
"It's very rare that you call me, Theresa."
Before he called her, he waited for Alana to leave the house. He meant that with the amount of time, he only now decided to talk to Alana's ex-husband and father. He already knows that he will not be with his son for much longer, so even if it is against his heart to do this, it is also for his son's future.
"If you hadn't forced yourself to leave with our son and live there, you wouldn't have experienced the hardships now---"
"If you didn't put your gambling addiction first, maybe we would still be together. It's good that I made up my mind to leave you and live in the quiet life of your son."
"Did you just call because you're going to scold me again? It's been so many years Theresa. Do you think I'm still like this until now?"
"No, Francisco. I know and feel that you have changed. I have one last request and I hope you do it."
"What do you mean?"
He took a deep breath. It's heavy inside but if this is the only way to make Alana's life easier. "Alana, I will entrust her to you."
"What?"
"I know that I won't be able to take care of him much longer. I don't want him to be an innocent in the world. I want him to experience the life that should be for him. Somehow, I've raised him to be a good boy. I'm begging you Francisco, you take care of our son."
He waited for her answer. "Alright, I'll agree. I'll take care of him."
"Thank you. I will give you all my trust. Love Alana. Provide her with her needs and finish her education."
"I will."
"Thank you." He can't tell his son the reality that he will disappear from his side. Even if he goes to the doctor, there is no cure for his pain. Hopefully, she will be strong and she prays that she will find someone who will truly love her.
His birthday. A day of fun with his loved ones because one of the most important people is gone. His mother is gone. It happened suddenly. He thought he was just sleeping so he just let it go but it was already noon, he still didn't wake up. He didn't think it would be the last.
Aling Martha and her daughter Ate Julia are helping him well in taking care of his mother's hill. He has no money and doesn't know what to do. He didn't even know if he cried as long as he didn't feel anything. His whole body felt numb from the speed of the incident.
"Are you alright, Alana?" asked his Sister Julia. He stood next to her while observing her mother's coffin.
"It's okay, Sister."
"Mama and I asked you to stay. Don't worry, you'll be fine with us---"
"I might just be a burden to you, sister."
"No! Alana, we consider you a member of our family. We love you as well as your mother so we will not leave you."
"I never thought this would happen."
"Alana, we feel the pain that Auntie Theresa is gone, but understand what she wants, that she doesn't want you to be sad. Even if she leaves you, no matter where you go, she's right next to you and watching over you. I want of your mom that you dream. Fulfill what you want in life."
That's what his mom always told him. But, how will he do that without her by his side? Who can he tell his problem to? He is her only inspiration in life.
"Alana, you have a visitor." Aling Martha called him.
When he turned around, an old man wearing salamat and formal clothes. He walked towards his mother's coffin. He watched his mother for a few minutes. When it was over, he approached her.
"Alana, can I talk to you?"
"W-why? Who are you?"
"I'm your dad."
"Will you take Alana?!"
The man introduced himself as his father. After a long time, he also recognized her. When he asks his mother about his father, she ignores his question until he stops asking. His mother is still alive, she never showed up to the two of them but only now that her mother is gone. He didn't know what he would feel when they both met for the first time. This man in front of him was like a stranger.
"Yes. His mother is gone and he is alone here, I decided to take him and he will live with me."
"Wait a minute. Well, there's no way you're going to take Alana from us right away." Aling Martha immediately objected. "Alana's whole life, she's grown up here and made up her mind and then, you just found out that her mom just died, you have the right to take her?!"
"Her mother herself spoke to me." This is the answer.
"W-what?" did he talk to his mom? when?
"He told me before he disappeared that he would entrust Alana to me. Our daughter. Please give Alana what she deserves, especially Alana's education."
"How can we trust you? And if you really are Alana's father, do you have any evidence?" Aling Martha's challenge to the old man.
"Mom! Calm down." Julia weaned her mother.
"No! I need proof! What if it's just an introduction but it turns out to be a liar."
He took out a big envelope and gave it to Aling Martha. When they opened it they were surprised. There is a birth certificate and a baptismal certificate attesting that this is indeed the father!
"If you don't believe me yet, I have more to show you."
"Hi-no. It's okay. You say that you can teach Alana to provide for her needs? What is your job and why did her mother break up?"
"I am one of the shareholders of a company. When Theresa gave birth to Alana, because I was too focused on work for the needs of both of them, Theresa left with our daughter. I begged her to come back but Theresa's decision was made up to be far away from each other. The only thing I can help my mother and daughter with is support."
"But why did you come here to see your mother and daughter?"
"Because if I do that, he himself said that he will go away again and I will lose communication with him. You don't have to worry about Alana because she is in good condition with me. I will do everything as her father and fill the void I will give him clothes, shoes, education and a comfortable life that he wants."
"But, Alana..."
"I know you're very worried about her but Alana is eighteen. I'm not saying that I'm forcing her to come with me, it's just that her mother talked to me. The final decision is up to her if she stays here or he will come with me."
"Alana, what's your decision?"
"Huh?" he? He decides? What will he answer? He is happy here with Aling Martha and Ate Jula but his father is here because of his mother. This is the one who said that his father will take care of him. So, what will he choose?
He could not speak. He was confused about what he wanted. He likes it here but his mom is heavier. When he goes with his father, he will help him especially in his studies.
"Alana, hija? What do you want?"
He has made up his mind. "Yes. I'll come with you."
To Be Continued...
Hi, I'm Sammy Vazquez Falcon, I'm intersex. I fell in love with my friend, Margaret Reyes Vergara. And my brother's name, Rocky Vasquez Falcon. "Class dismissed..." Our teacher said. "Sammy, are you coming home right away? .. Marcus said. Marcus Montefalco has been my best friend since freshman year of high school. He is handsome, tall, his skin color is just right, and he is also smart. "Sammy .... Bridgette Revira's one also shouted. Beautiful, white, smart, kind but sometimes funny. "Don't shout.

Leona Binetez, who just arrived, said. "Hep², Let's go home. Where else are you going to talk.... What I just said to them. "What you say is that you avoid talking about your ex...." The three said at the same time, If you are a friend. By the way, I have an ex girlfriend before way back Junior high school named Rachelle Suarez, we broke up because she said she was straight, she didn't want to be in a relationship with a girl like that. To be honest, that part hurts me, about the fact that he doesn't know that I have a masculine penis. Only a few people know that I have something like that. Actually, If I'm really a woman..I'll choose what's appropriate for me, just in case I have junjun in between my thighs. And one more thing, I'm prettier hehehe, the male genitals are more dominant. Just think about how beautiful it is, the way it used to be. By the way, my friends and I were just senior high school you might ask..... We are here at the school gate near the parking area....well... Because we have a motorcycle... "Guys, I'm going to go first.... We have a family dinner because...," said Bridgette. "Me too..... Leona said. "Me too bro... Said Marcus. "Alright... Be careful... That's what I said. I also got on my motorcycle... Meanwhile............... As I was approaching the opposite side of the house... I saw a car parked.... I thought there might be a visitor. As I was about to enter the gate, I heard someone laughing... I guess it was my brother's friend. I also parked my motorcycle in the parking area. When I entered the house, I immediately saw my brother's friends, a mix of women and men. My brother saw me right away....I also looked around at his colleagues. Then I wished them all a good afternoon. My brother came close to me with a hug and a fistbump.. "Musta Ang school my double Kara... laughing My brother said... "Brother.... shut up.... I hit him at the same time.. why?

I just didn't pay attention.... but I still looked. .. according to One of my brother's friend who is a girl....winked and even smirked at me. I just shook my head..... I still felt that I saw something in me but I just ignored it... then I continued to go up to the room.
Diego and I's wedding is tomorrow, so I'm fully prepared. For almost three years I was engaged to him, tomorrow I will be forever tied to the one I love. While I was pondering in the room, suddenly there was a knock. I was wondering, because it was early in the morning. But even so, I immediately got up and opened the door to whoever knocked. "Dieg—" I couldn't finish because it was Anastasia who knocked. I frowned at him because he was crying. "Bes..." he said to me and immediately hugged me. Confused though, I stroked his back and calmed him down. "What's going on?" I wondered. He didn't answer, instead he sobbed even more. I was confused so I immediately put it in front of me. "What is your problem?" I worry. "P-forgive me, Bes," he said which confused me even more. "What do you mean?" Before he could answer my question, two men I didn't know entered. I turned my gaze to Anastasia again who now had a serious face. "You and Diego can't get married. I'm pregnant and he's the father! I've been wanting to confess this to you for a long time! But he said, only after the wedding, so he can get his inheritance! But I can't do it anymore, Bes . I know you love him very much, but I can't let you be tied to each other forever!" I felt like the sky and the earth fell because of what I heard. My brain did not immediately process what he said. "What are you talking about? Diego can't do your accusations to me! He loves me and I can feel it!" I object. "We've been fooling you for a long time, Bes. Do you remember? Those days when Diego came home late to your house? He came to me first and do you know what we were doing?" I shook my head and my eyes started to blur because of the tears coming. "If you don't want to believe, Bes, pwes, watch it," he said. A man reached for his cell phone and immediately tapped on it. "Look," he said and immediately gave me his cell phone. "Look how much he enjoyed being with me." When I saw the videos of Diego and Anastasia pleasuring each other, my world suddenly disappeared. The pain I feel is like a heavy stone falling on my heart, falling into despair and trust. My knees went soft and I couldn't stop my vision from getting dark with so much pain and confusion. It felt like I was stabbed repeatedly in my heart. It hurts so much that what you thought really loved you, turned out to be just a big lie. I don't know how to speak or move. Anastasia's moans penetrated my being, and each passing moment felt like time piercing my being. "I told you, Bes. So if I'm yours, leave now and don't go through with the marriage. Run, Bes! Where he can't find you!"
It's twelve o'clock in the morning but my eyes are still wide open, hoping that he will come even after midnight. I'm trying to convince myself that maybe he went somewhere or maybe he bought some more surprises for me first, especially since it's our anniversary today, but at this time it's impossible that there are any stores open. My favorite cooked food and we always eat it every time we go out is cold, the candle that I have been changing every time the one I lit has run out. I slowly wiped the tears that escaped from my eyes, after which the waiter approached me. "Sir, let's put it away. It's already twelve o'clock and it looks like what you're waiting for won't come" was his sad voice that made me laugh out loud while trying not to cry. "Maybe, I'm sorry if I bothered you. It doesn't matter. I'll pay. I'm sorry I kept you waiting" I said shyly, especially since what time was it, they really waited patiently even past the time their job "Please don't, sir, your initial payment is enough. You don't have to pay again" he said with a smile that made me smile. Before I went home, I thanked them and asked for their patience, especially since I just waited for them for nothing. As soon as I walked out the door, the tears that I had been holding back quickly came to the fore. My eyes were blurry as I walked down the dark road to the nearest waiting shed. When I arrived, I immediately adjusted my appearance, especially since there were other people waiting for a ride. Even though my eyes were swollen shut, and it was obvious that I was crying a lot, I managed not to cry while sitting in front of many people. Somehow I can still control my emotions. Just a few minutes later, a taxi came by, so I got in. As soon as I got on board, I immediately told the driver where he was going to drop me off, and he also moved easily and didn't say anything else. During the flight, only weak sobs and cries that I could hear filled the entire car, I know that the driver felt my pain but he just let me go. During our three-year relationship with Kieth, I can barely feel his growing cold toward me. There were times when whenever I wanted to be clingy to him he would quickly avoid and turn his back on me. He also always forgets important days, like monthsarry and my birthday. His coldness only started when whenever something happened between us, I always made him use protection. Kieth is the type of man who is not satisfied and is not easily satisfied. He also has a narrow mind and his perspective is not open to other things. FLASHBACK "You're getting big, Jion! Every time something happens to us, you always put a condom on me, what do you think of me? A dirty man who has a lot of sex and is sick?! You're getting big with your tits!" What he was saying to me with a smile made me close my eyes because of the loudness of his voice. "N-it's not like that, I just want both of us to be protected" was my excuse that only made him angrier. "It's up to you! That bitch! You're still cleaning your pussy! I've hit you again! It's up to you!" he said furiously and stormed out of the room. END OF FLASHBACK As much as I wanted to tell him the real reason why I made him wear protection, I was afraid of his reaction. Because I'm a barrier. I am one of the small population of men who can carry people. And beyond that are the horrible comments we get from people. And Kieth was one of them. When I asked him about men who can carry people, he just laughed at me. That was also the day I wanted to confess the truth to him about my personality, but I didn't think to continue because of his spicy words that caused me to hide everything from him. "Those are children of the devil, I don't even know how they were formed. I have a strong feeling that they are children of Satan or maybe from another planet, who wouldn't be afraid? A man can get pregnant? I've been fooled" Those were the exact words that came out of Kieth's mouth, that's why even though I wanted to tell him about my condition, it was better to hide everything from him. That's why I was afraid of him knowing that I could get pregnant, so I always made him wear protection especially since there is a high possibility of me getting pregnant. And because of that, we often argue about that, this is what we always fight about especially because of his attitude that he should be the one who obeys in everything. Maybe that's why he was getting farther and farther away, until he was too far away and I couldn't catch up with him. "Sir we are here" I immediately turned around when the driver suddenly spoke, so I quickly paid and got out of the taxi. I walked towards our house absentmindedly. If only people could see me now, I'd be staggering like a zombie, looking like heaven and earth had fallen, but I didn't care anymore and went straight ahead. I was about to open the gate when I saw that the light in our room was on, a sign that Kieth was home. It's impossible that
In a small town, there are two loving hearts that find happiness and strength in each embrace. Wendell and I, our love seems eternal and never-ending. But with the passage of time, the course of fate changed. One night, in the middle of yesterday's fading away, a weight landed between us. The wind carried unspoken and unshed tears. In that moment, our lives changed completely. We sat in our favorite spot, looking out over the town reflecting our memories. Silence permeates the surroundings, and our feelings cry out for words. I looked at Wendell, hoping to see answers, but his eyes remained distant. "Alex," she whispered, her voice full of sadness and surrender. "I can't take this anymore. I can't stay in our relationship anymore." My heart suddenly fell, and I couldn't understand this sudden separation. "But... but why?" I managed to choke out, my voice cracking with the weight of my emotions. Wendell stared into the distance, unable to meet my eyes. "I've realized that I need to follow my dream of becoming a pilot. It's something I've always wanted, and I can't ignore it any longer." Pain shot through my chest, and I grabbed his hand hoping he would come back to me. "But what will happen to us? What will happen to the love we shared?" He removed his hand from mine, leaving me empty. "Sometimes dreams come first, Alex. I have to follow my dream and see where it takes me. I can't keep getting in the way." I couldn't stop the tears from flowing, and in the middle of my pain. I want to stop him, I want to hug him so he won't leave me but I can't. I understand, who am I to trade him for his dream, right? Who am I to stop him from fulfilling his dream? In order to achieve his dream, he has to destroy me with a ganto. Don't leave me please? Wendell. I'm pregnant. That's what he wanted to tell him just to stop him. But I can't, I can't. Because if I'm the one making the story between us, I'll choose him to reach his dream, rather than regret by my side. Days passed, and with each passing day, the pain did not go away. I tried to find strength in the support of friends and family, but losing Wendell continued to hurt my heart. The town where we fell in love has become a place of memories and sadness. I heard stories of Wendell's progress, as he moved forward with his dream of becoming a pilot. He flies through the skies, reaches the clouds, and leaves me on the ground, alone and hurt. His dedication and hard work show in every step he takes. And as I watched his success, I couldn't help but feel a mixture of pride and pain. Our paths may have diverged, but the memories of our love remain etched in my heart. I continue to walk the streets of our town, carrying the pain and memories of our love. And with every passing wind, I hope that one day, our paths can meet again, and our dreams can form again. And I hope that when we meet again, he will also know that he has a child with me, that he was the father when I was carrying him. You did fulfill your dream, but you left us as your child. I hope you're happy Wendell.
After getting chased by dogs and getting shot. I was called to the boss's office to give me another mission. Hi, I'm Shinhe Harukio, and if you think my name is too girly then don't talk to me because I don't give a f*ck. And of course, if you guessed that I'm half Japanese and half Filipino then you guessed right, my love. Im 27 years old. Im an assassin and a spy. I work for this secret company for years and im one of the top 2. I have a long obsidian hair like a girl. I braided it so it wouldn't get me distracted when shooting. "Ah! Shine, my favorite assassin." The boss flung both of his hands in the air welcoming me. "The one and only." I said proudly crossing my arms showing off my confidence. "Haha! Come let me treat you to some barbecue." The boss said and I groaned. "What's that? When you're free, you'll have me do something." I pout as he sighs then chuckles. "You really know me." He laughs but then nods. "But yeah, you guessed it right.." I groaned and ran my fingers through my long obsidian hair. "What is that?" I asked raising my one eyebrow. "Well, this is simple, no killing or stealing, I just want you to do is..---" he shows some picture of some big pearl in his tablet. "this. As you can see this is the pearl that we have been losing these past 2 years when the company got robbed." I nodded in agreement. "I want you to bet some big money at the betting market to get that back." He threw 2 big cases of money in front of me then smiled. "That's 50 million exactly." He grins at me and I frown. "We can just steal it back, why do we need to bet some money over it." I huff. "The market has a big guard over there and a lot of protection and securities." He sighs. "Now if you don't want it.. then, i guess i could just give this mission to the top 1.." he said and i started to get angry and sighs. "ALRIGHT!" I yelled. And before I knew it. I was riding into a very nice sports car towards the betting market with full of rich people. I wore a black suit that very much suits me and I braided my hair. I arrived at the place and I saw a crowded rich people already betting on a painting. I got passed through some people by saying excuse me and placing myself in front of the stage. After the betting the painting got sold for 10 million "Tsk. So cheap." I mumbled. After the painting got sent to the owner, the next betting item is the pearl my boss has been looking for. My eyes widened at how beautiful and shiny it was. The people started to get awestruck and started betting some large money. A guy behind me yelled. "10 million." His voice is cold and stern but loud. Not to mention his face is attractive. The seller was about to sell it to him when I yelled. "11 million!" All eyes went to me and the guy from behind me chuckled and I looked at him smirking. "20 million." The guy immediately said. The crowd went silent, the silence got replaced by the seller. "20 million? Anyone wants to go any higher? Going once.. going twi-" before the seller could even finish his sentence I spoke. "30 million." The seller was about to sell it to me when the guy from behind me yelled. "35 million." I glared at the guy and yelled. "50 million!!" The crowd looked at me with shock and the guy from behind me looked at me smirking. "50 million! Anyone wants to bet any higher? Going once.. going twice.." The crowd went to shock when the guy from behind me spoke. "200 million." The seller clapped and I looked at the guy shocked. "Sold to Mr. Iñego!"
I'm in the bar with my friends because we're celebrating Cassie's birthday. That's why you let us drink. I only drink a little because I can't go back to my boarding house. And I'm also not used to drinking a lot because I have a low tolerance when it comes to drinking, so I get drunk easily even with just a few shots. "Kai, bat you don't drink lets party. Don't be unfair to us don't worry too much just let it be wasted" he said then drank the wine he was holding and went to the dance floor. And Dani gave me a glass with only something to drink because I also didn't want to be unfair to them. Cassie is also right, that's why Kuna is worth it. I drank a few shots of tequila and now Dani and Cassie and I are dancing together with the people here at the bar. I was a bit dizzy so I left there and went to the counter. And suddenly someone approached me, a man who claimed to be handsome and energetic and he was carrying wine. "What are you new here? I just saw such a handsome man." he said and my face warmed up "Yes, I just came here. I'm with my friend because it's his birthday" I said and looked at the two friends who were going to dance with a man. "Anyway here drink this" he said with a frown on my forehead while looking at the glass he held out. "Don't worry it's free, I'm the owner of this bar and your new here so you need to drink one of this" he said and because I'm also curious what it tastes like because based on the bottle it's very different from I drank earlier.
