Chapter: THE ENDSvanna Rose Zeneca-SantoriniWhen Vicenzo said that 'this is now over' he was wrong. That is just the end of our first journey together and the beginning of another battle that we must conquer together. During that last fight with Flacara Mafia, everything changes. Gordon died... Mom killed him intentionally. I couldn't accept it. But I need to be strong because he told me that he wanted to see me rising from the spotlight.I thought being the prima ballerina is the peak of my dreams. But then I realize that I just wanted to have Vicenzo stay with me the rest of our life. I don't need to be the prima ballerina of Zeneca Ballet or to be the white swan of Swan Lake play. Because I am already the prima ballerina to my own story and I just have to recognize that the main character doesn't just always play at the center. She could be a black swan like me.And this is my last dance, my last dance as the black swan. Because

Chapter: Chapter 151When you thought everything is okay, reality will suddenly slapped you real hard- that no matter how good everything was, bad things is still right behind the corner waiting for the right time to strike again and mess your life again.It's always like that. You're a happy and then you're sad later. If you're sad now, you're happy later. It is a continuous cycle, a very redundant scenario. It was like a story that has a same plot but with different lines. It so fuck up!Before I end up in this kind of mess, in this kind of danger- everything is just good compare now. I have a peaceful and quite life away from trouble. I know it's boring because I spent all my life in dancing isolating myself from the people around me.I don't have a good relationship to my father, we don't usually talk, we don't even eat a meal together. I am not that welcome to the eyes of Mommy Adie even to Aliah, my haft sister. I was the black swan of the Zeneca family. I exist but only as th

Chapter: Chapter 150"Where did you go?"I lift my head and I saw Vicenzo looking at me seriously. His rugged face is screaming with annoyance. He doesn't look pleased and I know the reason why.But instead of being scared with his unwelcoming greeting, I walk fast towards him and hug him tightly. I felt him stilled and his body went rigid with our sudden contact. But later after I felt his arm wrap around my waist and possessively pulled me even more to him.He's sitting on the single couch while I'm sitting on the top of his lap facing him with my legs wide open. Our position is quite awkward but I don't really care, I feel bad because of what happen."Tell me what happen?" He whisper while caressing my back.I sniff and buried my face on his neck "I miss Mom..." I whisper.He sigh "That's why you sneak out?" He utter in a controlled tone of voice.I pulled away and face him. His brows furrowed when he saw the dry tears in my face but later on his face

Chapter: Chapter 149"No..." I shake my head and close my eyes "No...this is not true. I am just hallucinating. This is not true" I mumble to myself and pulled my hair.There's no way my Mom is alive after all these years. I always visit her grave, I always visit her whenever I miss her. Whenever I felt like everything seems against me. Whenever I felt alone..."You are not hallucinating Chèrie," Gianni said behind me "Tita Vanda is alive. She's alive Svanna Rose. The reason why Tito Roman doesn't want you to visit her grave is because she was never been buried-""No!" I scream, shaking my head "Mom is dead! She's not my Mom!" I exclaimed crying while looking at the woman in front of me who look exactly like me."Tito Romano never visit her grave, it's because he know that Tita Vanda never die in the first place-""Stop it Gianni!" I cut him off, breathing heavily while my eyes is clouded with tears.I shook my head and step back. My heart is beating fast

Chapter: Chapter 148Let's meet...I close my eyes and took a deep breath. Wearing a black longsleeve top and black gap fit leggings I sneak out to the backyard of the mansion. It took me almost ten minutes before I successfully climb the tall wall that surrounded the mansion. I actually make sure that Vicenzo men is done checking the area before I sneak out.I honestly don't know why do I need to sneak out. But then my instinct is telling me that Vicenzo will not let me if I ask him to meet Gianni knowing that Calcifer and Greco has a suspicion to my cousin.I'm stubborn, I know that. But I really need to do this. I don't understand what does he mean by his message. Mom is alive? And he doesn't want Vicenzo to be my husband? That's absurd! That's crazy.I sigh and fix my black cap before I run away, making sure that nobody notice my disappearance. I immediately call a cab and give the address to the driver who keep on glancing at me because of my weirdness. Oh yeah,

Chapter: Chapter 147 I am crying non-stop, I don't know what to do. Dra. Mhalia is trying to reach me out and talk to me but I couldn't open my mouth to speak back. The image of Piato being shot in his shot as he slowly fell on the floor keep on rolling back inside my head. It keep on replaying like a broken movie tape. It won't stop bugging me. I am guilty, scared, and anxious."Mrs. Santorini..." Dra. Mhalia whisper, wanting to get my attention.With weary eyes, I turn my gaze at her. She's sitting on the chair beside my bed wearing the same white lab gown. I sniff when she smile at me, as if she's telling me that everything is alright without uttering a word."W-Where's Vicenzo?" I stuttered.I'm the first one who break the sound of my soft cries. I brush off those dry tears in my face. Worries is very visible in my eyes and I couldn't hide it. How will I do that if I am eating my guilt. I am asking them what happen to Piato but none of them gave me an assuring answer. The

That's What I Know
For someone who nearly dies because of an accident that wipes the memories of her 23 years of existence - the only thing that Sammia Avileigh can do is to depend on everything that her family told her.
With the help and support from them, she did her best to live a normal life. She follows everything that her parents told her about who she was, what she likes, what she does, what she wants, what's her favorite, how she dresses, what she hates, and what she's not good at.
A year later, she finally recovers, she's happy with her life despite forgetting those memories that define her. But her almost perfect life turns upside down when she saw a strange note on the empty abandoned room on the back of their house.
'Aliano Silvanus Rivvero, you need to kill him. Remember that.'
What does the note mean? Why does she feel like it is connected to her? And if that's the case- why would she kill the man she is bound to marry? The man that she really likes, according to her parents?
They say a memory can be a star or a stain, and Sammia Avileigh didn't know that the latter defines her lost memories.
And that's, what they will never let her know...

Chapter: Chapter 12What is the simple and peaceful kind of life? I wasn't sure, honestly. The moment I woke from a coma not remembering anything even my name- that's when I lost to define what does life is all about. I don't know anything about myself and that feeling is sucks. Every day of my life- it feels like I am on a guessing game trying to get familiar with the things around me.But for a year, not even just once I feel familiar with the things my family told me except Silvanus Rivvero. Of all the things they told me I used to do, of all the people they introduce me that I knew, only Silvanus Rivvero- he's the only person I felt familiar with.Despite being a stranger to myself, I thought that will be alright. I have a very supportive family. A loving mother, a cool father, and a very overly protective brother. They taught me everything about myself. I thought that will be alright. I thought that is enough for me to live a simple and happy life. I thought I wouldn't need my memori

Chapter: Chapter 11"Should I sign it now?" I ask with a smile.Surprise is evident in their faces as they look at me with wide eyes and parted lips. I smile even more hiding the disappointment in my eyes. I try to look happy, excited and cheerful as much as possible to make it believable that I am not against to it. I already decondition myself with the choices they given to me. I already created a list of counter measures in every situation that might possible to happen and this is one of it- forcing me to marry Silvanus Rivvero in a nice way they could.There's no point of saying no. For a year depending myself with everything that they told me, I learn to know what to do and not. Saying 'no' is not acceptable for them. I need to be the daughter they wanted me to be, I need to be someone they expecting me to be. They are the one who limit me, this house limits me. And I am taking a break from it by marrying Silvanus Rivvero. Perhaps I could figure out which one is real and not about my

Chapter: Chapter 10He misses me? But I don't feel the same way. He looks familiar but I can't seem to find the emotion of longing for him. I didn't misses him even just a bit, and that's weird... everything feels weird when it is all about Silvanus."Miss Avi,"I stop walking and glance at Morgan who has been following me around. I know my eyes are void with emotions, because, I don't know what to feel anymore. I am confuse with myself, to the things around me, the things that I know and the things that I am feeling. My emotions these pasy few days clash back that I couldn't get a grip of it. Sometimes, I was not sure if my emotion are still genuine or it is also just part of the things that I believe."You're spacing out Miss" Morgan points out when I didn't say anything.It's more than two hours now since Silvanus left. I told him to use the car since he ask the Rion guy to drive his car for the sake of sending me home. I am not sure if he did listen to me because I didn'

Chapter: Chapter 9I uncomfortably settle myself on the passenger seat cautious with my move while observing Silvanus' movement on the backseat who's arranging the grocery bags. I creased my forehead when I saw him pull out his phone inside the pocket of his jeans and type something on the screen followed by his hiss."You don't need to send me home," I utter hesitantly.But his forehead suddenly creased tilting his head to look at me. I gulp with his stare, mentally scolding myself for being nosy."I am not asking your permission, woman" he bit out.He raised his brows as if he's flaunting the sarcasm in his face when I look at him in disbelief."So you will drive us home?" I can't help to fire out again.I mean, my driver drove us here. And he's actually standing outside the car waiting for my instructions. So basically, I don't need Silvanus to send me home because I have my driver with me. That's what I'm trying to point out."I will drive you home"

Chapter: Chapter 8 "What are you doing here?" He asks roaming his eyes around "Are you with someone?"His deep forest green eyes shifted back to me. He's a bit suspicious as if I did something wrong. I creased my forehead because of that. I can't find a reason of explaining myself to him. We're not even close- or maybe we are but that was before when my memories are still intact. Things are different now, much more different from what he anticipated from me. And that is because of the accident.Everything change. If he made a promise before to me that doesn't mean I'm still holding to that until now. Maybe yes- but that was before the accident happen. Because I realize now that it's not easy to put things back in their right places. I felt like that I am not the old me because I am different from what my parents describe.I mentally sigh, "I am with Morgan,"His brows furrowed "Morgan who?"I was about to reply when suddenly Morgan called me from behind."Miss

Chapter: Chapter 7They say some people lie for the sake of someone. But for me, it's not always for their 'sake', sometimes it is to keep them in the dark. There are no such things as white lies, that hypocrisy never exists because all lies are dark. It will always keep you in the dark no matter what kind of lie it is."You disobey me?" Mom mumbles in disbelief while holding the note with her shaky hands.I breathe, looking at her with my serious face."Did you lie to me?" I retorted."Sammia Avileigh!" Dad called me in a hard tone of voice.He sound displeased maybe because he found my tone rude. This is the first time I use an accusing tone at my mother. The first time I question the things that they told me."I want to know what's with that note Mom," I said firmly not planning to back out.I already started it, I won't return to my room not unless they explain it all to me. She even lies about that abandoned room. She said it was empty even before

Chapter: Chapter 21I am not familiar with all of the Filipino cuisine dahil sa ibang bansa ako lumaki. That's why I am having a hard time to decide which one to order. Everything are look appetizing but I am not quite sure if all of it goes with my preference with food. But anyway, I am not a picky eater."Ano na? Loading ka na dyan" Alas chuckle while standing behind me.Napakamot ako sa pisngi ko. I can feel the lady in front of me waiting for my order. It's embarrassing because I've been standing on my spot right now for about five minutes now.Nag simula akong mamili dahil hinayaan naman ako ni Alas na pumili ng gusto ko. He said that it will be his libre so I will just grab the chance to try something new."What is this" I ask Alas na nakasunod sa bawat lakad ko."Pakbet. Masarap yan"I tilt my head. He's indeed right, it smell delicious for sure masarap din ang lasa niya. And I think I already heard that pakbet to Nana Rita. If I am not mistaken, pakbet

Chapter: Chapter 20"Gusto mo bang malaman kung bakit?"I blink my eys while staring at him and he is also staring at me with a playful smirk plastered on his face. There's a sudden uncertainty to say 'yes' to him na hindi ko alam kung saan nag mula. Looking at him this close, I realize something that I didn't able to notice before.My lips curved and was about to say something when suddenly a voice of a man interject behind me."Tangina Al! buhay ka pa pala ng ganitong oras?"Napakunot ang noo ko ng bahagya while innocently looking at Alas Prian. He tilt his head before he look at the guy behind me, grinning casually."Gago!" malutong niyang mura that made me bit my lower lip, "Anong tingin mo sa akin? Tangina to," he added laughing.He suddenly held my arm without looking at me and gently pull me beside him to face the guy that he is having a conversation. I press my lips together when I saw a tall guy but not as tall as Alas. He is not familiar to me, but I

Chapter: Chapter 19I blink my eyes for how many times stunned with what Alas Prian said. I don't know kung paano ko siya dapat intindihin because it seems like he is implying something that he just can't put into words.I just back into my senses when I heard him chuckle."Tangina, baliw na yata ako" he snap brushing his hair using his fingers."Huh?" I tilt my head habang naka angat parin ang tingin sa kanya "You look okay naman ah," I point out with puzzled look on my face.Malakas siyang natawa na kinalaki ng mata ko sa gulat. Instinctively I roam my eyes around and I feel a bit embarrass when I saw those students that are staring the two of us with suspicion in their eyes. Agad akong nag iwas ng tingin at alanganing ngumiti kay Alas Prian nang mapansin kong nakatingin siya sa akin. His eyes is gleaming with playfulness just like the usual teasing me when I did something that he finds funny.What's with him? He's a bit different today. Medyo naguguluhan ako sa mga

Chapter: Chapter 18'You don't deserve to be a Dela Huerta'Those words are keep on playing inside my head while having dinner with Nana Rita and Kuya Brand. Yeah, my father is not around yet and I wonder even more kung kailan siya balak umuwi."Ayos ka lang hija?" Kuya Brandon ask me.I raise my gaze to him and smile "Ayos lang naman po" I politely reply."Iniisip mo parin ang sinabi nang lalaking yun?" Nana Rita inteject.I tighten my grip on the spoon I'm holding. I wanted to ask her but I know she won't dare to give me answers. Why? Because it's part of the rules. I must not ask unnecessary things and I feel like my question right now is unnecessary."Eline-""Yes," I cut her off although I know that I sound rude "I am bothered that despite everything that I did- no one still recognize me as Dela Huerta. We both know Dad never recognize me as one""Eline"I sigh and shut my eyes close. I am starting to be emotional...I

Chapter: Chapter 17WEEKENDS came so fast and I just found myself on the backseat of the car appreciating the beauty of nature Tierra Veloz offer. This place never failed to amaze me every day because I always find something new every time I go out. It feels like my surrounding always has full of surprises and I'm loving it so much."Sigurado ka ba talagang sasama sa amin hija?" Yaya Rita ask who's sitting at the passenger seat.My gaze shifted to her and I smile brightly."Yes, Nana" I pause and tuck the loose strand of my hair "Don't worry about me, I'm fine. I just really want to go out and ease my boredom" I assure her.Matagal itong tumitig sa akin before she sigh in defeat causing my smile to widen. I glance at Kuya Brandon at napakagat labi ako when I saw him shake his head.I do not want to stay at home. I want my weekends to be productive as much as possible and besides, Dad is not around. My father is the main reason why I agree to live here in Tierra Veloz

Chapter: Chapter 16"Hindi ko gusto maging kaibigan ka lang, Lemonine"I blink my eyes while staring at his serious face. Bigla akong kinabahan sa di malamang dahilan. His expressive set of brown eyes is void with emotions kaya hindi ko sigurado kung anong gusto niyang iparating."W-Why?" I said almost like a whisper.I can't help to flaunt the disappointment on my face. I am disappointed that I consider him as a friend pero hindi naman pala ganon ang tingin niya sa akin."Did I-""Pfftt- Fuck! HAHAHAHAHA" he burst out kaya natagilan ako sa gulat.I stared at him in disbelief while he's laughing so hard na para bang mauubusan na siya ng hininga. I couldn't process it quickly, ramdam ko ang tingin sa amin ng ilang kumakain but my gaze remain at Alas Prian."You're..." I pause "Making fun of me" I said."Tangina" he hissed shaking his head.Mischievous glint is visible in his eyes which made me pouted my lips, shooking my head. He's so mean.
