Chapter: Epilogue“I, CALEB ROSS, TAKE thee, Sunrise Dawn Zabel, as my lawfully wedded wife. Whatever may come our way, I promise to take care of you, protect you and to love you till I drew my last breath. God gave you to me when I almost believe that I will end up alone in this world. He gave me a reason to hold onto love, he gave me so much reason to love you. Some of it didn’t really make sense at first. I never asked God to give me a woman who do awesome lap dance! But then you came.”I chuckled even though I was crying so hard. With Caleb staring at me like this, and while hearing him say all of this, it was melting my heart.“I never thought this day would come… When I’d be excited to come home because I know, you and Sunny are there waiting for me. I love you more than anything else.” He kissed the back of my hand and I felt his lips trembling. He must have been trying so hard to stop himself

Chapter: Welcome, Sunny!THE MOMENT BABY SUNNY was given to us, tears immediately surged from my eyes. It was a magical moment when I carried her in my arms. I had this wonderful feeling - like a strong bond was built within us.I looked at Dawn who was also crying in joy. I felt so proud of her. She was able to give birth without any complication. A brave woman with a soft heart. My heart beat faster as I stared at the two angels that God sent me.It made me sob even more. I am so grateful that I have them in my life.I never really thought that someone like her will come into my life. I was actually slowly accepting the fact that I'll grow old alone and single but God… He gave me a chance to live happily."Can I hold her?" Dawn asked in a faint voice."Yes love." I answered and tried to contain my tears.I placed baby Sunny on top of her but didn't rea

Chapter: Unexpected SurpriseI HAPPILY NODDED and took my time to walk home. Carrying this watermelon-like tummy was hard. It feels like you are carrying 6000 ml of water with two hands. There were times when my knees suddenly wobble, but thank God there's always someone there to catch me or assist me to sit down.Well, I'm happy that this was about to end. And I'm excited to meet our baby.My brows furrowed when I went inside the house. It was silent but I saw shoes outside."Cass?" I called out but no one answered.Where the hell is he?I suddenly noticed that Dusk's room door was slightly opened. Whenever Cass visited us, he always used that room so I thought he was just changing but I felt something different this time. Like someone was pushing me to check the room.Out of curiosity, I walked closer and peaked at the opened door and there I saw&h

Chapter: The Premiere Night"LOVE, DO I LOOK okay?" I asked and glanced at Caleb with a half-smile on my lips. My seven months baby bump was calling the attention of whoever looked at me.I was wearing a white flowy gown with a glittery gold belt. Don't worry, it's just actually a garter so it wouldn’t hurt my baby Sunny. My dress looks like the one being worn by Greek Goddesses - but, the maternity version. It has a plunging neckline with extra silky cloth on the shoulders. I had a jacket ready in case I won’t be able to handle the coldness inside the cinema.I had my hair bun up, decorated with white and gold flower pins. I curled some of my hair and let it loose.Caleb didn't react so I felt worried."What? Too much?" I checked myself again in front of the mirror.He stood up and went behind me. I looked at him through his reflection and saw him smirk. His hands glided from m

Chapter: Back Home"SUGARPLUM!" POPS GREETED me with excitement. He was already outside when we arrived. I hugged him and kissed him on his cheek."Where's Mom?""She's at the store. Busy with inventories. The cake from Zen just arrived.""Hi Pops. How are you?" Caleb smiled and placed his hand on Pops' shoulder."Doing well son." He smiled back.You have no idea how close they became after finding out that I was pregnant and when he proposed to me.It was nice to watch them together.No more shotgun for Caleb, I guess.We went inside the house and sat on the couch in the living room."I watched your interview this morning." Pops said while looking at Caleb. "It went smooth, thanks to you."I squinted my eyes. "So, you'r

Chapter: Talk Show Part 2“AND WERE BACK FOLKS!” Chibi focused her eyes on us again. “What I wanted to confirm again is… Why was Dawn at Caleb’s unit at that time?”"I can explain that.” Caleb started. “So, the reason why she went to my unit was to practice with me. She's not a trained actress so she needed help with the script, emotion and all. It just so happened that when we were photographed, we were in character."“In character…” Chibi had a sly smile on her face. “Then to confirm, you were already acting before going inside the apartment? Didn’t it occurred to you that some paparazzi might find that useful for a scoop?”“It did occur. But it was too late for me to realize it.”In character my ass! If I know you’ve been wanting to touch me that day.&ldquo

Chapter: CH.68 - Dress up, LoveIBARRA’s POV(THE PAST – BALLROOM)“Hello again, dearie!” Judiel’s mom pulled Rebecca by the wrist – leaving her completely baffled. “Now… Time for you to change.”“W-What? Wait! Now?” Rebecca looked like she was suddenly called upon for a battle, slightly panicking.I raised my brow as she they walked towards the portable dressing room. She pushed her in and reached for the dress that the maid was handing.“Here. Try this.” Mrs. Fernandez gave it to Rebecca and slide the curtain shut.“W-What just happened?” Ginny looked at Judiel, demanding for answer.Hera crossed her arms. “Is this the dress up thing you and Rebecca were talking about earlier?”Judiel sighed. Paused for a moment to massage his temple and continued. “Rebecca has been mom’s personal ‘barbie doll’ since we were young. At first, she enjoyed it. Who wouldn’t want to wear pretty dresses right? But mom has been forcing her to do this for a long time.”“Poor bestie. But I’d say this is still a win.” Mira crossed stood up f

Chapter: CH.67 - Judiel's HomeREBECCA’s POV(THE NEXT DAY)I SLOWLY WALKED as we entered Judiel’s house. It looks the same after all these years. The garden after their tall gate is still beautiful like how I remembered it. Their furniture became modernized, but the elegance was still unchanged.“Oh my God! Rebecca?”My foot froze mid-air as I was about to take another step. My eyes immediately glanced at her – Judiel’s mom. Standing tall, hair sophisticatedly made, outfit screaming with great fashion and yet, her eyes still sparkle the same for me.“T-Tita.” I shyly greeted.“Oh my God! Look at you!” She walked around me like she was studying a new fashion style. “I love what they did to your hair.” She tilted my head while she held my chin. “Pretty eyes as always. That’s what I love about you.”Judiel groaned and pulled her hand away.Nice save!“Mom, I know you missed Rebecca, but we’re also with our classmates.”She finally looked at the others and particularly smiled at my best friend. “Oh, hello there my dear

Chapter: CH. 66 - The PracticeREBECCA’s POV(THE PAST)“No, no, no!” Ginny squished my cheeks with one hand and looked at me dismayed. “Rebecca? How hard is it for you to smile naturally?”I grunted before pouting. “I’m trying! The thought of me, smiling to hundreds of students is making me hurl.”Hera rested her hand on her waist and raised her brow. “Girl, the moment you show that awkward smile of yours, we’ll lose the battle. Wanna waste our effort?”My back straightened and immediately shook my head. “No, ma’am!”“Then do as we say and we’ll ace this pageant.”I sighed. “You know I hate spotlight. I hate it when people look at me, specifically on stage.”“You can look at me, Love.” Judiel appeared out of nowhere with a beam on his lips.My eyes squinted.“Then, what if you see Mira in front of you?” Hera pulled Mira close, and she looked at me with confused stare.“What game is this?” She asked.I burst out laughing. “Please… not my best friend.”Hera tilted her head. “Hmmm… Jeremy?”My brows furrowed like aski

Chapter: CH.65 - Rebecca's TransformationIBARRA’s POVTHE PAST. (Manggahan High School)“Oh my gosh! The new look suits you!” Danna excitedly ran towards the newcomer and that made me gaze at her. Our classmates were immediately drawn to her radiating beauty. Well, not just her beauty but strong personality.Rebecca.She looked glowing. Hair bouncy, eye-glasses free, and even the way she carried herself now screams elegance. Just in a few months of being mentored by Hera, she was able to attain this kind of persona.“Who were you calling ugly duckling again?”It was Hera, wearing this smug smile as if wanting me to take back what I said during our class election.I smirked. “I’ve always known she’s pretty. Inside out.”Hera’s jaw dropped and dramatically leaned her ears near me. “W-what? Is this Ibarra’s confession?!”My smirk turned into a beam. “There’s nothing to confess. You know what I feel.”Now she gasped and looked at me in disbelief. “Ibarra are you sick?”“You’re sick again?”My eyes flew at Rebecca whom I didn’t n

Chapter: CH.64 - Learning the TruthREBECCA’S POVBLACK CAFÉLONG SILENCE REIGNED between me and Mira. I sipped on my latte before rubbing both of my hands together. It was weirdly cold…Or am I just anxious?“Rebecca I---” She paused, before taking a deep breath again. “I really am sorry.”My eyes darted away from here. “I’m not gonna hide the fact that I was utterly hurt. I just cannot fathom why you had to lie to me.”“I didn’t!” Mira shook her head aggressively with a pleading voice. She even reached for my arm that led me to look back at her. “I just chose not to tell you anything about it. As much I wanted to save my dummy fiancé here, he’s actually the one who kept telling lies about Ibarra.”I let out a frustrated sigh and massage my temple. “That idiot.”“You know how he was during our high school years. Jud blindly believed that you are the one for him. The way he loved you before was so pure and I’ve been a witness to that. For those who doesn’t know us much would immediately think that you two are together.”

Chapter: CH.63 - That 'Hero'“MS. JAVIER?”That light tap on my shoulder and soft voice brought me back to reality.“Oh, sorry. What were you saying?” I asked as I tried to focus on the director’s assistant.What happened at Heiji’s residence was stuck on my head – playing over and over like a pirated CD. After he returned to the table, he became silent – obviously trying to avoid having a conversation with me. When I tried to ask him, he immediately stood up, bowed his head and apologized.I was left there eating alone.It felt like they had a mini family meeting somewhere because his sister and mom suddenly disappeared.A soft sigh escaped my lips.Was I really that blind? Maybe this was the thing Bianca and Nikki were trying to point out the night we were drinking.Ah! So that’s why they called Heiji!“Ms. Javier?”My eyes blinked several times before staring at Kim. “Oh gosh, Kim. I’m so sorry. I’m so distracted right now.” I let out a sigh. “There’s a lot of things on my mind. I apologize.”“I wonder what hap
