My love for you

New Hope

The sun has illuminated the land to the sea in a vast expanse. A glimmer of light brought forth a new spirit, all the difficulties that had occurred, as if sinking without a trace. A woman in her 30s, tidying up the clothes she was wearing, did not forget the smile adorning her beautiful lips.

The woman sighed for a moment, but did not reduce the smile on her face. He walked through each white floor, leaving endless shadows. The woman arrived in a room, then positioned herself in front of the camera.

"Veople, an abandoned building for many years, had a bomb blast yesterday afternoon at 17:00. The blast killed several people, including one of the CEOs of J Group. Now, the police are figuring out what..." Jay turned off his tv remote.

"Well, now I can see the news of my own death." Jay chuckles.

"I think you should hide first."Said a man with a stern face.

"Actually, I don't know who you are. But thank you for saving me."

"It's not my desire to save you."

"Then why did you save me? Did someone tell you?" Ask Jay.

"You'll know later." He said, putting on a flat expression.

"Oh yeah, do you know where Merlyn is?"

"Merylyn?"

"The woman with me."

"The woman." Darius Darion.

"He's okay, right?" Jay tried to get up, but his body still hurt, due to the ruins of the explosion.

"Don't move! Your wounds have not recovered."

"Just calm down, the woman has passed her critical period. He's right next door." Said the man. Jay was glad to hear it.

"What about the child in the stomach? What congratulations?"

"Repair your wounds first! After that, you can tell." He turned his body.

"Wait on! Can't you tell me?"

"Are you worried about the baby or the mother? You seem to care more about the baby." The man frowned.

"It's none of your business."

"alright. Take care of yourself." When the man opened the door, he accidentally ran into someone he had met. He barged in, impatient to meet Jay.

"Jay!"

"Carlos? How do you know I'm here?"

"It's not hard to find you."

"A lot of people think I'm dead."

"I know you can't die that easily."

"What's really going on?" Ask Carlos.

"As far as I know, you left after hearing Merlyn was pregnant." Carlos Said. Jay took a breath.

"Jonathan ordered someone to harm Merlyn."

"How dare he.."

"Jonathan's man, very dangerous. Even Merlyn was helpless in front of him." Bright Jay.

"I'm too careless of the devil." Said Carlos. He growled.

"It wasn't your fault. From the beginning, he was born an ambitious man. He doesn't care about where his opponents or friends are. A man like that, is only concerned with the lives of others, rather than taking care of his own life."

"Then did Merlyn survive? I heard from the news, the building's on fire with nothing left."

"He's in the next room."

"Rest!" Carlos turned around to leave Jay, but his gaze could not be separated from someone.

"You!"

"I think we've met." Carlos recalled, where he met the man.

"Now I remember, you beat me up when I was guarding Jay's wedding. You right, that?"

"Why are you here? You tried to kill him?" Carlos clutched Darion's collar, but Darion did not budge. He ignored Carlos's bluff.

"Carlos, stop!" Excited Jay.

"But he's been..."

"He saved me."

"Cannot be. I feel him.."

"That's it. If it wasn't for him, me, Merlyn, and Chris would've died by then."

"Wait, did Zion tell you?" Ask Carlos.

"Zion's? Whatchu mean?" Jay doesn't understand.

"I remember, he went with Zion, and he beat me up."

"What's? So, Zion told you to help me?"

"Did he pity me? Why can.."

"Our question answer! Don't just shut up!" Carlos tightened his cling. However, Carlos' grip was loosened, as Darion clasped Carlos' hand. He threw Carlos expressionlessly. Carlos' body is shaking. That never happened in his life.

"Don't touch me!" Darion said, his gaze sharp. Then he left both of those people. Carlos stabilized his unsettled breath. Jay was in his thoughts.

"Damn!" Carlos Exclamations. His entire life, only this time did his body and soul tremble because of someone.

"ignore first. You can find out later."

"No. He owes me. I don't like someone being able to defeat me in that kind of expression." Carlos Said.

"He's a cold-blooded man. You're hard to deal with." Jay.

"You underestimated me?"

"Well.."

"You think it's funny?"

"He underestimated me. Who does she think she is?" Carlos hit the wall, upset.

"But.. I don't think he's the enemy. He can be a powerful ally to us." Jay.

"allied? Don't hope. I don't want to." Carlos stood up, then he walked over to leave Jay.

"Where are you going?"

"I want to see Merlyn." Carlos closed the door, then headed for Merlyn's room.

Merlyn lay without opening her eyes. The woman went through a critical period, but she was unconscious. Carlos looked at him with a sad face. He held Merlyn's hand.

"Meryl.. If you hadn't met Jonathan, maybe you wouldn't be like this." Carlos Said.

"Wake, Merlyn! Shout like you used to, like when you were a kid."

"You used to be an innocent little girl, but you have a million courage inside of you." Carlos thought back, the former figure of Merlyn.

He remembers every memory with Merlyn. However, he had not expected, the little girl in his memory, was now lying weakly without consciousness. He knows, now, Merlyn is different from what she was. However, he hopes, Merlyn returned like the girl he knew first. If Jonathan's behavior is recalled, he cannot remain silent. He was angry, disappointed, but did not know what to do.

The cunning wits Jonathan has, could undermine his plan, if he can't put it together properly. However, he does not want the fate of Merlyn like his sister. Quite simply, he saw Merlyn in a weakened state. His heart could not accept Merlyn's fall.

"Meryl.. Let's go Overseas, if our business is done! I will take care of you and your son, even if he is not my flesh and blood. I'll protect you both. I promise that." Carlos smiled, he rubbed Merlyn's head.

"Meryl.. I know I'm not the perfect guy. I've killed a lot of people, but I promise, I'll be the man you'll always be by."

"Please, wake up, Merlyn!"

"I'll be waiting for you." Carlos distanced himself from Merlyn, leaving the woman behind.

"Carlos.. I'm sorry." Merlyn cried at Carlos' words.

He knew from before, Carlos was not a bad man. Carlos doesn't make any difference to him. They both had no choice but to become vile people. Merlyn again regrets everything that happened, but she cannot blame the innocent baby. All the sobs he shed at that moment.

If he wants to end his life, it will make Jonathan happy over the suffering he experienced. Jonathan's name kept rolling in his mind. Between hatred, regret, and love, he must choose between them. His life path is so complicated. However, he could not give up on his bad destiny. He knows everything can change. God is still giving him a chance to live again, which means he has a new hope in him.
