Chapter: Chapter 38Merrill's POVBandang alas sais trenta na kami natapos mamasyal sa mga kamag-anak. Palubog na ang araw ngunit maaliwalas pa kaya kitang-kita pa ang daraanan.Habang naglalakad, tahimik lang si Papa. Ninanamnam ang malamig at sariwang hangin na dumadaan. Bukirin at mga kakahuyan ang makikita sa aming lugar. Iyon nga lang ay nakakalbo na ang ibang parte ng bundok dahil mayroon doong minahan. "Ang dami na ring nagbago rito mula nang umalis ako. Mas marami na ang mga bahay di tulad dati na halos bukid lang talaga ang matatanaw mo," usal ni Papa maya-maya."Kaya nga po. Ang gaganda na rin at konkreto ang ilang mga bahay na dati ay pawid lang gaya nang atin. Ang saya lang pong isip-isipin na umuunlad na ang mga pamumuhay ng mga tao rito nang paunti-unti," sagot ko naman sa kaniya nang nakangiti."Tama ka, anak. Nakakalungkot lang na hindi nakita ni Tatay ang mga ito lalo na't lahat halos ng mga kapitbahay natin ay mga kamag-anak natin. Gaya mo ang mga anak nila ay nakatapos na ng kolehiyo

Everyone seemed to be preoccupied. Mukhang kinukwenta nila kung gaano kalaki ang nawala sa kanila sa loob ng sampung taong pangungurakot ni Uncle Frank.I pitied them dahil nagulangan sila. Nakakamangha rin ang kapal ng mukha nila para gawin iyon sa kompanya at kay Lola. But what I don't understand ay kung bakit hinayaan lang ni Lola na gawin ni Uncle Frank ang gusto niya sa ganoon katagal. "We cannot just let those b*stard steal what is rightfully ours!

Miss Misunderstood
Bata pa lamang si Elyana, pangarap na niya ang magkaroon ng isang malaking pamilya dahil alam niya ang pakiramdam ng walang kapatid. Kaya naman nang makasal siya kay Finn na isang bilyonaryong taga-England, sinubukan nila ang lahat ng paraan para matupad iyon kahit ilang beses na silang nabigo.
Sa limang taon nilang pagsasama, unti-unting nagbago si Finn na kapansin-pansin sa mga mata ni Elyana. Hanggang isang araw pinasundan niya ito sa isang tao at napag-alam na may kalaguyo pala ito.
Ang masama pa, nahuli niya siya na maykas*ping sa kama sa mismong rest house na regalo pa ni Finn noong wedding anniversary nila. Nang muli silang nagkaharap, naglakas-loob si Elyana na itanong kung ano ang dahilan, bakit siya nagtaksil at ang sagot ni Finn, iyon ay dahil hindi raw kaya ni Elyana na mabigyan siya ng anak.
Napakasakit para sa kaniya na marinig ang mga iyon. Nag-file siya ng diborsyo at nang maaprubahan, nagpasyang umuwi ng Pilipinas upang kalimutan ang lahat.
Sa tulong ng matalik na kaibigang si Felicity, unti-unti niyang tinanggap na hindi na kailanman matutupad ang panngarap na iyon, ngunit isang araw, babalik si Finn dala ang katotohanan at ayusin ang nasira nilang buhay.
Nararapat ba para kay Finn ang kapatawarang kan'yang hangad? Mapapatawad pa kaya ni Elyana ito matapos nitong wasakin ang kan'yang puso, pagkatao na halos ikabaliw niya noon at ang tiwala na walang pagdadalawang-isip na inalay rito?

There was discomfort between me and Finn that Felipe kept noticing and he even told me that I should better talk to him. It sounded like I was the one who did something wrong in the past para ako pa ang mag-initiate ng conversation. Isa pa, hindi naman siya ang ipinunta ko roon, pero iyong baklang ‘yon made me realized na tama lang na makapag-usap kami dahil at that moment, Finn needed something na kahit papaano mapagpapagaan ng sitwasyon niya.

Chapter: Final ChapterElyana's POVThat feeling of returning trauma filled my heart with so much fear that Daldalita could do what she said. It was clear to me, in my mind and heart, that of all the people close to me, Felipe, next to my parents and my son, was the person I couldn't live without.'He's only ours. For my son—mine!' My thoughts were accelerating. I was ready to hurt anyone who would try to take Felipe from us. My son needs him. He couldn't sleep without his dad at night. I need him to do that. I need him. My tears continued falling down my cheeks. I covered my face using both my hands and as I did so, I heard whispers in the background that made me feel like they were mocking me. My chest tightened as I heard their whispers. There were so many that I couldn't focus on a single noise.It was deafening, echoing inside my ears. I cried until I could no longer breathe. I felt someone's hand on my shoulder, but that stronger urge to do something to make our servant take back what she said was

I was excited that we finally got back home and, at the same time, worried about Helen and that I couldn't get back to her before she got a chance to hold my son, just like she wished for. I wanted to fulfill that as soon as I could. I knew my parents would understand and they would help me sort everything out for Aqui to meet Helen. I was that preoccupied when I saw Felipe staring suspiciously at me. I frowned and he immediately looked away. He took his cellphone out of his pocket like nothing and started scrolling through it. I thought that was it, but it happened a few times during the flight and whenever I caught him, he would try to ignore me. I tried ignoring him as well and pretended it wasn't bothering me until I fell asleep.We arrived in the Philippines before lunch after the plane stopped over in Dubai because Dad asked the pilot to pick up a package fro

It was the best decision I ever made in life in my entire existence and thanks to you," Helen told me while holding both of my hands tightly. I was touched by Helen's words. We had a long conversation, but those were the messages that my brain couldn't forget the most."Time for your medicine, Miss Helen." We got interrupted when the nurse announced this. I gave them space. I checked my time and saw that it had been more than an hour since Felipe and I arrived.

It had been a month since they moved into that house and only a few trustworthy people knew that location. He concluded it was their cleaner, but she had already gone there to clean the other day. He had no choice but to check who it was because they didn't have a servant around after he sent her and the driver to get their groceries. He went to the front door. When he was a few steps away from the door, the person outside tried knocking again. Lucas opened the door and his eyes widened when he saw who was outside. A short silence went in between the two.

They both knew how close their daughter had become to the lady, and they did not want Elyana to have any regrets about not seeing her for the last time. "I heard you're leaving." Elyana was in the nursery, busy with the book she hadn't finished yet. Her parents were both in an online meeting, which is why she was the one giving Aqui company at that time. She was so caught up in her reading that she did not notice that Felipe had already entered the room. When Elyana turned to look at him, she saw a gloomy expression on his face. She wanted to ask why, but the question he asked already had the answer. "Yes, I will tomorrow. Dad has already fixed everything; a private plane will take me there to make it hassle-free for me, so there is nothing to worry about," Elyana replied. She went back to reading aft

He was trying to change his entire self by altering his way of talking and walking and avoiding the gestures of his hands when he spoke. He also wanted us to call him Felipe instead of Felicity since that day, which I found quite suspicious because I often caught him talking seriously to my dad in different parts of the mansion before that happened. The only problem was that I didn't get a chance to know what they had been discussing all those times. They kept choosing places where it was hard to eavesdrop. I already asked my mom if she knew anything about what they were discussing, but she told me she had no idea.My curiosity grew because of the answer I got from her.

Chapter: Chapter 20An hour before ten in the morning, the stylists were done giving us a wonderful service. They put my hair in a bun that looked like a bouquet. The bobby pins they used had small pearls on the edge that added design to my hair and believe it or not, I couldn't recognize myself. I couldn't stop looking at my reflection in the mirror. I looked blooming and younger with my makeup. I heard the stylist and her companion talk when they were deciding what suited me and the one putting so much liquid on my face while preparing it said to do Korean-style makeup. I mostly see those Korean makeups she mentioned when watching Kdrama and I was pretty impressed when they magically made me look like a Korean even though I was a little tan. I couldn't stop blinking because of the fake eyelashes I was wearing. It was a bit heavy, making me uncomfortable, but to my surprise, my eyebags and skin imperfections were hidden perfectly. It was hard to find a trace, even my pores—they made it invisible

All I could feel was this great amount of worry about how the day would end and whether Sir Lennon would appear or not. I walked near the curtain and slid it to the side. The room location was perfect to watch the sunrise and because it was only around six in the morning, I was right on time to witness a beautiful scene as the sun scattered its light into the surroundings. "Good morning, sunshine!" I muttered with a smile and I walked into the bathroom when the light was already too blinding. I took a shower as the first step of preparation. Wore the simplest dress I saw inside the walk-in closet, pairing it with flat sandals before going to the kitchen to see Ms. Peters. The servants were greeting me. They were bowing their heads as I walked in front of them. It was too uncomfortable, but I couldn't tell them

There was an awkwardness in her voice, but if there was anyone to feel more awkward in that situation, it was me after she addressed me as Ma'am. I was a teacher back in my country. I was used to being called that way as respect for my profession, but being called Ma'am by a servant was something I was not used to."O-okay, thank you," I replied. I waited for her to leave after getting my answer, but she stayed standing with her head lowered. When I realized she was waiting for me to come with her, I immediately excused myself.

I took a heavy sigh and turned my head to examine the beautiful room, but then thought about the wedding the next day that would eventually solve my problems.I was uncertain whether to call myself lucky or to meet such people because, at the back of my head, I was still frightened of what would happen after the wedding.While thinking about those things, my eyes landed on the large bed inside the room. The temperature inside was too cold for someone who grew up in a tropical country, even though I had never tried going home during my three years of contract abroad.
