I was too drunk to even get dressed,? so I sat on the bed,? brushed my hair, and waited for it to dry after I hung the towel on the nearby rack. The disconcerting silence lulled me to sleep but I fought back not to succumb to the urge. Sleep and I played a tug of war for a little longer until I was defeated,? thanks to my drunken state. The bedroom was doing circular motions now and I was falling into imaginary depths, probably a sinkhole created by the intoxicating wine I never knew was so strong until…

I filled the large tub with lukewarm water and I sighed contentedly when I dipped my fingers into the relaxing warmth.? The tension that made my body stiff faded and I could feel my worries began to subside. When the tub was almost full,? I poured the moisturizing milk bath into the tub and poured the petals of red roses I found inside the caddy. The calming scent of milk,? roses, and honey permeated my nostrils. For the first time since that day,? my lips stretched into a soft smile as I faced the…

I can't take it anymore,? the foods are too tempting to be ignored. I'm going to eat now so I can recover my strength for tomorrow's plan. Hopefully Ace wasn't planning to poison me right?? The thought occurred to me as I swallowed a spoonful of mushroom soup. If that was his plan then I could die in peace and I couldn't be more grateful at his last act of kindness. I finished the soup with beads of sweat forming on my temples. So far I'm still alive which could possibly mean the poison lies somewhere…

Slap! The red imprints of the blow were evident on his face, I looked at him with my gaze void of emotion wishing at the same time I have done something worse and even more painful than slapping him. I want to claw his face and rip it apart to make him suffer the same kind of pain that chainsawed my heart into two. But I wonder if there was any kind of physical pain close enough to describe the horrendous pain caused by his unjustified accusations against me. I never once cheated on him nor I have…

I went straight to the front desk and asked the receptionist for a room to stay overnight.? After eyeing me from head to toe,? she offered me a strained smile that barely reached her ears. "The rooms are fully booked. We no longer accept new guests." I swallowed hard, hurt by the uncivil treatment of the receptionist that left me wishing that her attitude was as beautiful as she looked. "Thank you," I mumbled and whirled away. But before I could leave,? Ace captured my wrist with his iron clutch. My…

I opened my eyes. The first thing that greeted my vision was the sight of Ace's red-rimmed eyes. He turned away from me when he realized I was quietly watching him. "You nearly two days ago." He said without even looking at me making me wonder if he was mad. "You're heart nearly stopped beating." The last sentence cracked his voice and I wondered if it was the product of my illusion which I believe it is. How I wished I wasn't revived at all. I thought painfully and shifted to the other direction…

"That's not true Ace. You're lying right?" My wide,? expectant eyes waited for him to invalidate the statement which he painfully did not.? Instead, he looked deep into my eyes as if he was reading my soul and took a step forward. He felt the palpable fear emerge in me and he saw it right into my eyes as I took a retrieving step backward, overcome with panic, and on the brink of losing my sanity.? The flicker of terror he witnessed into my eyes was enough of a warning to pull his legs into a halt.…

I crossed the street with my sanity breaking apart. I felt nothing at all, only numbness and pain inside me. If it weren't for the ear-shattering sound of screeching tires pulling to a sudden halt I wouldn't even raise my head and see a ten-wheeler truck towering over me, with only a ruler distance from where I stood. I was nearly flattened by a ten-wheeler truck! I nearly died! The thought was enough to scare the hell out of me and I sobered up. I couldn't afford to die and leave mom alone. I just…

A nagging curiosity got over me and I pushed the button using the remote control and turned the eighty-inch flat tv screen on so I could monitor Ace on the advanced CCTV. I just want to confirm what my intuition has been telling me. With my heart in my throat, I watched as they entered the kitchen to take some expensive wine from the cellar which Ace forbade me to even touch. I turned the speaker on full volume so I could hear the conversation going on between them. "You looked stunning Angela." Ace…

"Please don't? leave mom please!" My desperate plea could be heard up to the eighth room in the hallway. Horrible sobs filled the room and I clung tight to her cold fingers in anguish, not wanting to let her go.? Mom was so thin her sagging skin clung to her thin bones in a heart-wrenching way,? the scene crushed my heart into tiny bits. She was so fragile that I did my best to handle her wrinkled hands with great care in fear of unintentionally breaking them. "I'm? sorry Honey." She whispered in a…
