I was raging with anger as Derone neared my house. The only light that was on was by the garden. Fortunately, with Mason on loose trying to find me, it'll only be our butler, Richard, who's in the house.“Thanks,” I sarcastically said when his car came to a halt.Just when I was about to climb out of his car, Derone grab hold of my wrist to stop me. It was a wrong move for him because I used all my force to yank my wrist free from his grasp.“Don't you dare touch me,” I hissed through gritted teeth.But instead of being intimidated, a challenging smirk crossed his face. I grew irritated as the seconds ticked by. How cocky can this man be? I was on the verge of lashing out. He better talk carefully 'cause with one wrong word from, I'll definitely go berserk.“Don't you want to cuddle?” he cooed, laughing like a maniac afterwards.I eyed him with disgust and slapping him won't satisfy my anger, so I just cro

Andro and Arlow shared meaningful glances when I entered the study room in our house while hopping. I bit the inside of my cheeks to stop myself from grinning like an 8-year old girl.“Is there a problem?” I asked, raising an eyebrow at them.Andro furrowed his brows while Arlow did a staring contest with me. Is my happinessthatpalpable?“Something's off about you,” Andro commented, “though I can't tell what.”I rolled my eyes at them and sat opposite him, on the couch where Arlow was sitting.“Let's get to business, I've got other stuff to do,” I said and crossed my arms.Fortunately, Andro let it go. I listened intently to what my brothers were saying about my position in the company but my mind kept drifting to Zev and those sinful lips of his.“Anne!” Arlow said, ripping me from my reverie.I glared at him. “What?”“Hav

I woke up alone in Zev's bed. His side of the bed was cold so I guess he got up earlier...Or he left earlier.The thought of him sneaking out of his place was enough to make my eyes sting. Was this even his place? Was last night all just an act? Was it all too good to be true?Is this how one-night stands work? I've never had one, it's always been me and Derone. Is this even considered a one-night stand? We barely touched skins yet I was acting like I lost something inside of me.I sat upright and hugged my knees to my chest. I was still wearing his t-shirt and his smell was still there, reminding me of his presence.I knew what I was doing. I was aware of the consequences yet I paid them no attention because I was so caught up in the moment. My head was in the clou

The only thing that was keeping me warm was Zev's touch. Even though I was wearing a leather jacket, the cool breeze still managed to make me shake. To my fortune, Zev didn't let go of my hand as we left the dingy club.I was not drunk, not even close to one yet I still allowed him to take me someplace else because I told him so. He didn't even hesitate to do it. I was holding hands with a complete stranger, letting him take me into the wilderness of the night.We stopped by a bike that was too humungous for my liking. I eyed it skeptically, afraid that it was his, that I'll be forced to ride it, and eventually be the death of me.“I brought my car,” I said, trying to persuade him. “I'm not riding that monstrosity.”

15 minutes have passed since I drove away from the coffee trailer.15 minutes have passed since I started driving mindlessly and aimlessly.15 minutes have passed since Zev left me dumbfounded.What should I do?He asked me to meet him at a club tonight just so he could know my name. Why didn't I just gave it to him right away? I can't go to a club on the day my father and I got into a heated argument that will probably be resolved in never.But Zev's invitation kept bugging my mind. This is totally out my league. I never go after boys, I never show interest the first time my eyes laid on them, and I never undergo a dilemma like this.

For the first time since I started partying, I didn't wake up with a throbbing head and a foul mouth yet I was still restless. My mind immediately led me to Zev's image and the sound of his rich and deep British voice.Even as a kid, I never had this kind of liking towards anyone. To think of someone who I just met last night first thing in the morning was truly out of my league. So what is it with Zev? What's so special about him that he's got me restless?I was ripped from my train of thoughts when a gentle knock on my door startled me. I quickly covered myself with the sheets and pretended to be asleep. The knocking on my door continued and my pretentious state remained asleep.“Anne, I know you're awake,” my eldest brother, Andro, said. “Breakfast is ready.”

To everyone who supported this story, Calli and Lev, and most especially me, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. I cannot express how happy I am because of the unconditional love and support you've given me. Re-writing this story definitely had its up and downs but because of your never-ending love, I've been able to reach this story's end. Though we've reached the completion of this story, rest assured that Calli and Lev's story doesn't end here. Their love story will go on until the end of time. Always. 'Til next time, my lumielles! xoxo,elle

Since I was a child, I've always wanted a fairytale love story. A prince charming coming to save a damsel in distress, eventually falling in love and living happily ever after. But growing up, I've realized that love doesn't always come dressed as rainbows and sunlight, that despite its vibrancy, a dark feeling resides with it and that feeling is pain. You can't say you've loved someone if you haven't experienced pain. I know that love has two faces, two personalities, but I didn't know that it would bethatdifficult to experience. My first major heartbreak was with Pierre. I thought he was the one, like most people who fall in love think. But whenthatnight happened, I thought I couldn't love again. I can't bear the pain I went through anymore. But if you know me and Lev, you'll know thatthatheartbreak was just a heads up for what's about to come. “Ang tahimik dito,” saad ko nang muling win

More than a decade agoThe doctors and nurses were in and out of my the ICU where my father was confined. I felt helpless as I stood on a corner with my body trembling and endless tears streaming down my face.I knew we'd come to this point, but I never realized it would be this early. I just got the old him back and now he's being taken away from me.Everything was just happening in a blink of an eye and I just couldn't keep up. I don't want to 'cause I'm not sure if I want to see the end of this.We were just playing basketball at our front lawn when he complained that his sides were hurting then he collapsed. My father didn’t wake up from that point on. I want to

"Happy birthday, Calli!"sabay-sabay na bati ng mga tao na nakasama ko sa buhay ko pagkapasok namin sa isang resort.I stood agape at the marvel unfolding right infront of me. My workmates, friends, and family all stood there, beaming at me. Hindi ko napigilan na mapaluha dahil sa tuwa."Thank you," I said in a shaky voice.Napalingon naman ako kay Lev na may malapad na ngiti sa mukha. I can't help but wonder if he planned this all along. He grinned at me and enveloped me in his arms, kissing the top of my head."You sneaky, man. How'd you do this? How were you able to keep this a secret from me?" sunud-sunod ko na tanong sa kanya.He kissed my forehead before answering

Warning: R-18 scenes ahead. Read at your own risk.I woke with an arm draped over my waist. Despite the roaring thunder and heavy pouring of the rain overnight, I slept through it all in peace. Dahan-dahan akong umikot para harapin ang lalaki na katabi ko ngayon. His face resonated warmness that I’ve never seen in a long time. Hindi ko napaigilan na mapangiti dahil sa nararamdaman ko ngayon.Alam ko na maaayos namin lahat ng nangyari. Hindi magiging madali lahat sa una pero alam ko na kakayanin namin ito. You never know you’ll have the strength and courage to fight for that special someone in your life. Us against all odds ika nga nila.Bumaling ako sa bintana nang mapansin na wala na ang malakas na ulan. A small amount of sunshine entered th

Pagkadilat ko ng mga mata ko, nagulat ako dahil madilim pa rin sa paligid ko. Madaling araw pa lang ba?Rinig ang lakas ng ulan at hangin mula sa labas. Kaya naman pala makulimlim at nakidlat kasi may bagyo at sa tingin ko nandito na ang bagyo. Inabot ko ang cellphone ko at nakita na alas siete y media na pala ng umaga pero parang alas kwatro pa lang ng madaling araw.Nag-unat ako at nagtungo na ng banyo para mag-toothbrush. Pagkatapos, nagtungo na ako sa may kusina at nakita na nanonood ng balita sina Mama at Papa. Paniguradong tulog pa si Meiz."Oh, gising ka na pala, anak," saad ni Mama.Tumabi ako sa kanila at nakinood na muna. Signal #2 na rito sa 'min at hanggang bukas ng madaling araw tatagal ang bagyo.
