Chapter: Epilogue"The moment of truth has come, when fears were set aside just as when we prioritize to fight against it instead. The truth is that I have come a long way just to get to this peak that we spoke of and call success. The building that has come to witness the ups and downs in my life since coming back to this place, that from the grains of the sand and of the cement that hasn't been mixed yet into a solid foundation that we call walls and floors, into a majestic tower that now fought heights to reach the sky," I paused as I pressed my lips into a thin smile, bago magpakawala nang isang mahinang tawa. Kumawala sa buong hall ang mahinang tawa na iyon dahil sa speaker na nakakabit sa mic na aking hawak-hawak. Naglakbay ang kakaibang tunog nang aking tawa sa buong paligid. I noticed a ripples forming above the surface of the white wine that my glass contains. It was like a disturbance along the silence but rather calm and enticing. Sumasabay ito sa bawat galaw na ginagawa nng aking katawan a

Chapter: Forty Six (Part Two)Third Person's PoV..Umalingawngaw sa buong silid ang mga yapak na gawa nang kanyang mga paa at kasunod nito ay ang tunog nang pagbukas at pagsara ng pintuan nang silid. Naiwan ang dalawang lalaki sa silid tanggapan at tahimik na nakatingin sa pinto na kung saan lumabas ang dalaga. "If you're done then get lost already," biglang sambit ni Dark na dahilan upang mabasag ang katahimikang iniwan ni Exelle sa silid.Napalingon sa kanya si Hans na mayroong hindi maipintang mukha sa hindi malamang dahilan. Dahil maaaring hindi nito nais ang sinabi sa kanya ni Dark o dahil sa malamig na pakikitungo sa kanya ni Exelle at pagtalikod nito sa kanya. Nagsalubong ang mga kilay ni Hans habang matalim na tinapunan ng tingin pabalik ang lalaki.Because he really needs to admit it to himself.Other than the guy being the new man in his former wife's life, hindi niya alam ngunit naiinis siya dahil mas mapagkakatiwalaan ang lalaking ito kaysa sa kanya.'Right. Who would think of trusting me after how

Chapter: Forty Six (Part One)Third Person's PoV..Dark clicked his tongue to openly expressed his dissatisfied feelings habang matalim ang tingin na nakatingin sa pigura ni Hans, na siya namang nakatingin din pabalik sa kanya.Lalo lamang lumalim ang pagkunot nang noo ng binata dahil nilampasan lamang siya ng huli matapos itong patuluyin ni Exelle sa loob ng mansyon. Brimming with his usual intimidating aura, Dark stride along upang sundan sina Exelle at Hans. Dumaan sila sa open living area na siya namang tinambayan nina Dark at Exelle, bago dumating nang hindi inaasahan si Hans. Unlike before that, the place was covered with dim lights sneaking through the slightly opened veranda doors, the place now has its own light that brightly shone along with the lights from the huge chandelier hanging on the ceiling that leads to the staircase near the living area. Ang mga yapak ng kanilang mga paa ay siya namang gumawa ng ingay sa tahimik na paligid at kasunod nito'y ang tunog nang pagbukas ng isang pinto na hindi ka

Chapter: Forty FiveThird Person's PoV..There's faint smile on her face habang pinapanood ang pag-aaway nang dalawa nitong kaibigang huli niyang nakita, isang taon na ang nakalilipas. Her attention then was caught by someone's presence beside her, dahilan upang mas maging malapad ang mga ngiti nitong kanina ay simple lamang na nakaukit sa kanyang mga labi. Nakita ito ni Lei, na siya namang nakikipagbarahan sa stepbrother nitong katabi niya sa sofa ng salas na kanilang kinauupuan."Hay naku, Pierce. Ang bagal mo kasi," bulong nang dalagang si Lei sa kapatid nitong si Pierce, habang sinusulyapan ang pigura ng isang lalaking kausap ngayon ni Exelle.Kung tutuusin, wala ring ibang masasabi si Lei laban sa lalaking iyon, dahil bukod sa gwapo ito at maganda ang hubog ng pangangatawan ay hindi rin niya maikakailang lamang ito ng isang paligo sa kanyang kapatid.

Chapter: Forty FourThird Person's PoV . . "It's still the same?" Isang tanong ang narinig ni Dark mula sa mga labi ni Audrey, na siya namang nakatayo sa harapan ng isang bookshelf, kumuha ng isang file folder at binuksan ito. Hindi nito tinapunan ng tingin ang pinsan nitong seryosong nakaupo naman sa sofa ng receiving room na kinaroroonan nila. Parte ang kwartong iyon ng opisina ni Audrey at ang tanging daan lamang upang makapasok sa loob ay ang pintuan ng kanyang opisina. "I... think so." Sa tono nang pananalita ng lalaki, mapapansin ang pagbagal nito. Para bang nagdadalawang-isip kung tama ba ang mga salitang kanyang sasambitin o hindi. Saka lamang napalingon ang dalaga sa kanyang kinauupuan, pinuna ng mga mata ang ekspresiyong nakikita nito sa mukha ng pinsang si Dark. "You haven't met her since coming

Chapter: Forty Three (Part Two)Third Person's PoV . . Nanatili ang tingin ni Exelle sa labas nang bintana ng eroplano. Tahimik na pinapanood ang mga ulap na kay lapit na lamang mula sa kanyang paningin. Humahawi sa pakpak nang eroplano ang mga ito at mula sa kinauupuan ni Exelle ay kitang-kita ang isang tanawing ibon lamang ang may kakayahang makakita sa araw-araw. Nakasandal ang ulo sa sandalan ng upuang kinauupuan niya'y ipinikit niya ang kanyang mga mata. "Dark...," she murmured silently. Tanging siya lamang ang nakaririnig nang pangalang ibinigkas nang kanyang mga labi. Habang nakapikit ang mga matang tila pagod na pagod sa mga pangyayaring hindi niya akalain ay kanyang malalampasan, ay pilit niya rin na pinapagana ang kanyang isipan upang mapag-isipan ang kanyang problema. She wonders what Dark thought of her, bago sila maghiwalay kanina d

Chapter: THIRTY SIXExelleI looked at my hands, which were tied with nylon rope, before glancing at Alexis, who was silently standing in front of me. I saw how he clenched his hands into fists.At the same time, he turned to look at Rylie, who still remained unconscious."Take her to the gallery," Alexis said, and the newcomer immediately followed the order.I didn’t say anything and just relaxed my body, while still pointing the gun in their direction, ignoring the fact that Rylie was being carried out of the place. I secretly glanced behind me to check the area, and I was relieved to see another door leading out of the hallway.My eyes then shifted to the round window in the door, which was just to my left. The window, made of clear glass, made it easier for me to see the transparent glass window in the rectangular frame inside the room, which offered a clear view

Chapter: THIRTY FIVEExelleI huffed for a moment before glaring at the two bastards standing side by side at the doorway.I didn’t struggle to escape, but my mind was awake enough to function and think of the things I needed to do.Although it’s no use doing it now, I calmed myself and let them do whatever they wanted. I felt tired, but honestly, I was just waiting for the right timing, a chance where I could fight them more freely and escape from their grasp. I don’t believe that there’s no escape in the middle of the sea, unless the chances of surviving are too slim to be possible.‘I still have Dark.’‘Yes. I still have him.’‘And I trust him.’I kept reminding myself that this would all be over soon. That’s actually the purpose of those words. It&rsq

Chapter: THIRTY FOURTHIRD PERSON'S POV...The red dot on Techno's monitor flickered. Dark watched it with a furrowed brow as he continued giving orders to his team. But his heart skipped a beat when the red dot, which represented Exelle's location, suddenly started to move."What's happening?" Dark dashed over to Techno's station and asked him, who continued typing rapidly on his keyboard."The PH-HQ must have figured out what's going on," Techno replied, and as if on cue, a radio connected to the other team crackled to life.There was a long silence before a muffled voice came through the radio. It was Bern, Bernardino Morales, the leader of the NCI Philippine HQ team."This is Alpha B of PH-HQ, reporting. The target is on the move. We can only watch from the sidelines until your men arrive because they outnumber our team," Bern reported from the other end. He pa

Chapter: THIRTY THREEExelle...When I opened my eyes, I saw a figure of a man sitting in front of me. But upon recognizing who it was, I frowned and shot him a hateful glare."You f*ckin' bastard!" I yelled at him, but he didn't respond.I tried moving my body, only to discover that my wrists were tied behind me. As I struggled, the metal shackles on my ankles and wrists clanged noisily against the cold cement floor.I groaned as pain shot through my wrists from the struggle. It infuriated me so much that I didn't even think about the danger I was in because my anger at seeing his face took over. I anxiously looked around, realizing we were in a room with no windows, just a door, and a large mirror on one wall.It was the kind of room you often see in dramas and movies. The one that looks like an interrogation room."Don't waste your time struggling. You won't escape from

Her tone was so arrogant that it made me want to run over and yank her hair off her head.She's infuriating me, but honestly, I have no idea what's going on.Because everything around me is darkness. As I opened my eyes while listening to the strange noise around me that I couldn’t explain, all I could see was endless darkness.It was so cold and eerie.It was also so quiet, yet every now and then, I would hear a sound spreading around me. The noise echoed and lingered until it faded into the distance, only to be followed by another unknown sound. It repeated over and over again.At first, it was like the drip of water, then the sound of someone being slapped, followed by something breaking, and then something hard falling. The mi

Chapter: THIRTY ONEThird Person's PoV---Dark's gaze remained fixed on the sleeping figure of Exelle. He watched the young woman as he stood by the side of her bed. Behind him was Audrey, nervously biting her lips."I shouldn't have given her that video," Dark's ears twitched as he heard his cousin speak. The sadness and concern were evident in her voice as her eyes seemed to lose their strength, quietly staring at Exelle.But he just shook his head. "She still has the right to know what really happened to Samara," and that's the truth. No matter how much they tried to hide what truly happened, Exelle would find out sooner or later. Aside from the fact that the video was an irrefutable piece of evidence for Samara's death, it was also one of the few pieces of evidence they had against Riguera."We can no longer be complacent against the Black

Plot Wrecker
Opening my eyes in an unfamiliar place with unknown faces surrounding me, everything started there. I have to start from the beginning again, because I am no longer Ayla Navarez and the world I am currently in, was completely different from the world of my past life.
Rumi Penelope Lee.
The cannon fodder of this world inside the novel I read as Ayla, in the past. The character who only have her beautiful face as the only ' plus ' point in the novel, and the one who died instead of the female lead of the said novel. She fell inlove with the male lead and created troubles on the way. Because she started loving the male lead, her pitiful life led to met her end.
Death.
Because she's stupid. Literally, stupid.
A fool in everything. Love, studies, and all. The only thing she knew of, was to eat and sleep, then love the male lead while creating troubles the next day. Even if she's rich and beautiful, her halo as a cannon fodder won't be able to win against the halo of the heroine.
That's why I've decided.
Let's ruin the plot.
Because who cares about following it, when I, Ayla Navarez, who became Rumi Penelope Lee overnight, would die in the end without even reaching the end of the story?
Inside this cliché novel, let's continue living without falling inlove, shall we?

Chapter: Nine: Seat mates and Lunch with the VillainMy eyes squinted as I look down at him, he, who on the other hand was looking up at me, while he sits on the vacant seat besides my chair. I could feel my whole body being shaken up just right after meeting him and the feeling of knowing the fact that he's my seat mate makes me scared.I could really feel the death on my doorstep.Hoo~Right. Let's calm down.It's not like I haven't died before and it's not like he's the one who will kill me. Well, he'll only be the reason of my death. And stop thinking about it, Ayla. I mean, yeah, I'm Ayla but no, I'm Penelope now. So, calm down."You're right. I'm you're seat mate." I said in a while after calming myself down. Because I know what's his problem.Calix doesn't like having a seat mate.My smile froze as I watched him, then I added. "From the look in your eyes, it seems like you don't like it.

Chapter: Eight: Calix Miguel Charlemagne Ugh~ "Let's eat something from the street stalls. They were much tastier than the expensive one." I heard Jen suggested when the other girls nodded their heads as if agreeing to her. Their neatly combed hair bundled into different hairstyles, bounced as they moved their head swiftly. The streetlights were jist enough to reflect their beaming smiles in the night that it seems like a warm sunset light, prettily. My lips went into a lopsided smile as I watched the three of them helplessly and was about to agree with them, when somebody speak from our side. It was Maxwell. "You like those things? We aren't even sure if it's clean or not, so why not eat in a restaurant or something." He murmured but we still heard him. It's not surprising to see him react like that especially when he's someone who was born with a silver spoon on his mouth. Even in the original novel, Maxwell never like cheap things. I don't know why but maybe it was influen

Chapter: Seven: Maxwell Rossell I flipped through the pages of my notebook and slammed it back, closed and shut. My lips created a sound when I smack it twice before licking my lower lip. I gasped for air when I suddenly remembered something that happened earlier. And now that I remembered it again, I thought I was going crazy. Even the heavens aren't helping me now and it felt like a grave sin that I committed unknowingly just because I am unlucky enough to experienced it. 'Hah~I just met the second male lead, Asterion.' I mentally hissed. His eyes that resembles the sun directly complimented his gorgeous silver flocks of hair. It never occured to me that it will looked so divine even after seeing the second male lead that I only met through the book, in my past life. And instead of feeling the childish fluttering inside my chest, I somehow felt annoyed upon meeting him instead. I mean, I already promised myself that I will stay away from the ma

Chapter: Six: Killian Asterion Herberts I walked along the empty corridor and went to the vending machine located at the end of the hall and where the stairs was located. Fitting my right hand inside my wine coloured, school hoodie, I fiddle for a coin I brought with me before standing in front of one of the vending machine. It was so convenient to try different outfits that one was comfortable with, when the school offers other type of uniforms for students. They offers a hoodies, a sweater, uniform with a vest and shirts that can be used by the students as an alternative with the official uniform. And today, I chose to wear the wine coloured hoodie paired with the school's above the knee skirt for girls. Lucky enough, the school doesn't restrict the students with their outfits as long as it was in accordance with the school policy. One student should only wear the outfits that has a logo of the school and should only wear the outfits according to the school levels' color coding. Senio

Chapter: Five: Ruru's Buff"Hah~" A sharp sigh escape from my lips. It took me a moment before finally throwing my gaze on my study table, where my laptop was placed above its flat surface. My books and notebooks, as well as my homeworks were scattered in a mess. Clicking my tongue in dismay, I took a step to my desk and pulled the recliner chair away before taking a sit on it. Facing the papers with unfamiliar letters and numbers written in each sheet, I opened my mouth and exclaimed. "Oh my God. I'm going crazy." I murmured as I lifted each paper and opened the pages of my books, eyes bulging like a fish on the dry land. Just looking at this mess kills me enough. I feel like I'm gonna suffocate any moment. I wonder how did I manage to graduate in high school as Ayla. I read my homeworks and began writing. Each sentences felt like a bullet piercing my head, as if it was shooting my mind wherein my memories keeps flowing like a free water in the stream. My hands

Seconds later, the school bell rang for the fourth time today, maybe a signal for the end of today's classes.Meaning, it's time to go home. Something that I've been waiting since the very start of the day.Well, I'm not quite familiar with the school's curriculum or whatever they called it, maybe because, I've been living well as an adult who owns a café, not as a student. My memories as a student were quite void and it's stressing to think about school. But maybe because I'm also an adult myself, there's a part of me who also misses everything as a student.Earlier, I used a search engine on my phone to look for which city that El Grandeur High, was located and it says, Deril City.
