Chapter: Chapter Sixty-TwoAmanda’s POVMatapos ang mahabang araw na magkasama sila Andrew at Audree, nagkaroon ako ng lakas ng loob na makipag-usap kay Andrew. Lumubog na ang araw at malapit na siyang umalis. Hinalikan niya si Audree sa pisngi bago ito pumasok ng dorm, saka bumaling sa akin. Ngumiti ako sa kanya bago ako nagsalita."Andrew," panimula ko. "Gusto ko lang mag-sorry sa nangyari kagabi. Tama ka, at mali ako. Sana maging maayos tayong dalawa para kay Audree. At huwag kang mag-alala, kung akala mong inaagawan ka na ni Calvin ng pwesto kay Audree, hindi iyon totoo. Inintroduce ko lang siya kay Audree bilang kaibigan dahil gusto ko munang magkaayos kayong dalawa.""Don't worry, Amanda," sagot niya, "hindi mo kailangang mag-sorry. Ako ang may kasalanan sa nangyari kagabi. Pasensya na sa mga nasabi ko." Mahinahong ngumiti siya. "Na-appreciate ko na iniisip mo 'yung mga ganitong bagay para sa akin."Ilang sandali ng katahimikan ang namagitan sa aming dalawa, hanggang sa nag-salita siya muli."Gusto ko san

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-OneAmanda’s POVCalvin came by today at Casa Reyes, and I introduced him as just a friend because I didn't want to confuse Audree, especially since Andrew and I are still figuring out the right time to tell her that Andrew is her dad. It's a sensitive situation, and I want to make sure everything falls into place smoothly.What I really appreciate about Calvin is how understanding he is. He fully accepts that I have a child, and more than that, he's genuinely open to making compromises to develop a meaningful connection with Audree. It’s not easy, but his willingness to put in the effort means a lot.Today, he came with a small gift for Audree, and it was so sweet to see how quickly they clicked. It felt natural, like there was this unspoken bond forming between them. It made me feel hopeful for the future, knowing that he’s not just accepting my situation but is actively trying to be a positive presence in Audree’s life.We were having breakfast when I suddenly saw Andrew walking toward

Chapter: Chapter SixtyAndrew’s POVHindi ko talaga maipaliwanag ang nararamdaman ko nang makita ko si Amanda kanina na kausap si Calvin. Parang may kutob ako na siya nga ang dinidate ni Amanda, yung taong binanggit ni Audree. Pero ang talagang nagpa-bother sa akin ay yung mga ngiti nila sa isa’t isa at yung mga kilos nila na parang komportable na sila at sanay na sa isa’t isa. Hindi ko maiwasang mag-isip kung gaano na ba nila kakilala ang isa’t isa at bakit parang sobrang tiwala si Amanda sa lalaking iyon. Parang may koneksyon silang hindi ko kayang ipaliwanag, at hindi ko matanggal sa isip ko yung pakiramdam na iyon. I felt frustrated, confused, and oddly betrayed all at once. It was a feeling I couldn’t shake, no matter how hard I tried.Nanatili akong tahimik hanggang sa makarating kami sa Casa Reyes upang ihatid sila. I was doing my best to keep my composure because I didn’t want to cause a scene in front of our daughter.“Thanks, Andrew.” Amanda spoke to me first after I dropped her and Audree off at

Chapter: Chapter Fifty-NineAmanda’s POVI didn’t know what to feel when Audree told me that we were going to the park with Andrew. I wanted to say no, but I could see how excited Audree was to go out with Andrew. I didn’t want to be selfish, so I agreed and got her ready early.Just the thought of the three of us being together, like a family bonding, was driving me crazy. I didn’t know what could happen or how to handle the situation. But then, I realized this might be good for Audree. Maybe this will help her get closer to Andrew, so when the time comes, it won’t be as difficult for her to know the truth—that Andrew is her real dad."Amanda, are we okay?" Andrew asked, his voice soft, as we sat on the bench waiting for Audree to return from buying ice cream."Yeah, we're fine," I answered quickly, glancing at him but quickly looking away. I had been avoiding his gaze for a while now. I didn’t know why, but even after all this time, there was still something about him that affected me in a way I couldn’t expla

Chapter: Chapter Fifty-EightAndrew’s POVSabado ngayon at walang pasok sa school si Audree, kaya maaga akong nagpunta sa Casa Reyes para makita sila ni Amanda. Nangako ako kay Audree na dadalhin ko siya sa park, kaya't hindi ako makapaghintay na magkasama kami. Nakita ko online na may boulevard park sa Dumaguete, at kailangan naming sumakay ng barko papunta sa kabilang isla, kaya maaga akong umalis at nagtungo doon.Pagdating ko sa Casa Reyes, nakita ko si Audree at si Amanda. Si Audree ay nakaupo sa harap ng salamin habang tinatalian ni Amanda ang buhok niya. Pinagmamasdan ko silang dalawa, at hindi ko maipaliwanag, pero parang may kakaibang saya na bumabalot sa puso ko. Habang tinitingnan ko sila, nakaramdam ako ng init sa dibdib — hindi ko alam kung bakit, pero may isang espesyal na pakiramdam sa mga simpleng sandaling ito.Hindi ko alam kung gaano katagal akong nakatayo sa may pintuan, ngunit nung napansin ni Amanda na nandiyan ako, ngumiti siya at nagsalita. "Andrew, good morning," sabi niya, medyo magaan n

Chapter: Chapter Fifty-SevenAndrew’s POV"Please take good care of Audree, Andrew. If you plan on bonding with her, please make sure you take her home before 7 p.m." Amanda reminded me."Thanks, I will," I replied as I held Audree’s hand and led her to the car. I couldn't help but feel a shift in Amanda’s demeanor. It was strange, because just last night we were talking normally, and now it felt like there was some distance. I didn’t know why, but I decided not to overthink it and just let it be."Later, susunduin kita sa school. Gusto mo bang magpunta sa ibang lugar? Pinaalam na kita kay mommy mo," tanong ko kay Audree na nakaupo sa passenger seat."Wala naman masyadong mapapasyalan dito, kuya pogi. Gusto ko po talagang pumunta sa park," sagot niya nang malungkot."Sige, next time dadalhin kita sa park," sabi ko, sinusubukang pasayahin siya. "Pumunta na lang tayo sa isang lugar kung saan may masarap na pagkain mamaya. May gusto ka bang kainin?""Chocolate cake po, kuya pogi!" sagot niya, sabay ngiti."Chocolate

Chapter: Chapter 34Dominic’s POV The scent of something warm and rich filled the air the moment I stepped into the mansion. It wasn’t the usual gourmet meals the chefs prepared—this was different. Heartier. Almost comforting. I hadn’t expected this. After spending days in Manila, taking care of everything for our plan, I was exhausted. I had officially resigned from Romano University, cutting my last tie to that place. There was nothing left for me there, and honestly, I felt relieved. Now, all I wanted was a shower and maybe some sleep. But instead, I found myself following the scent down the hallway. And that’s when I saw her. Sofia. She stood at the counter, her sleeves rolled up, an apron tied around her waist. Steam rose from a pot on the stove, and beside her, Martha was kneading dough. A wooden board filled with chopped potatoes, cabbage, and beans sat nearby. For a moment, I just watched. She looked… different. There was a lightness in her expression, something I hadn’t seen in

Chapter: Chapter 33Sofia’s POV The Montague mansion was unlike anything I had ever seen—elegant, vast, and steeped in quiet authority. Every inch of it screamed wealth and power, from the grand chandeliers casting golden light over polished marble floors to the intricate carvings on the mahogany walls. It was the kind of place designed to impress and intimidate at the same time. With Dominic gone, I had nothing to do but wander. My footsteps echoed softly as I moved through the endless hallways, my fingers grazing the smooth wood of the banisters and the cold stone pillars that lined the corridors. The scent of aged books and fresh flowers mixed in the air, giving the place an odd contrast—timeless yet alive. I passed by rooms with tall windows draped in velvet curtains, libraries filled with leather-bound books, and parlors decorated with antique furniture that looked like they belonged in a museum. Every detail was carefully curated, every piece undoubtedly expensive. This wasn’t just a house—it

Chapter: Chapter 32Gabriel’s POVI stared at the DNA results in my hands, the paper crumpling beneath my tightening grip. The letters blurred before me, but I didn’t need to read them again. I already knew what they said.Sofia was gone.A hollow laugh escaped my lips. This wasn’t real. It couldn’t be. This was Sofia. She was stubborn, reckless—she wouldn’t just die like that.But the proof was right in front of me. A cold, unchangeable fact.My chest ached, but it wasn’t just grief—it was something deeper, something I refused to acknowledge before. Guilt.I was never the husband she needed. Never the man she deserved. I stole her dreams and crushed them beneath the weight of my own expectations. I silenced her protests, dismissed her pain, convinced myself that I knew what was best for her—even when she was begging me to listen.And now, there is only silence.I see it all now, as if every memory has sharpened in her absence. The way her smile faded, piece by piece, like a painting losing its color. Th

Chapter: Chapter 31Dominic’s POVThe drive back to Manila was long, but I barely noticed the hours slipping by. My mind was too occupied, running through every loose end I had to tie up.Gabriel would be looking for answers.The police would be reviewing the case.And somewhere in the middle of it all, I had to make sure no one ever questioned what happened to Sofia Romano.By the time I reached the city, the sun was setting, casting an eerie glow over the skyline. I parked a few blocks away from my destination—a bar near the docks where I knew I’d find the man I needed to see.Inside, the stench of alcohol and sweat clung to the air. I spotted him immediately—Carlos, one of the men I’d paid to handle the body switch. He was sitting in a booth, a duffel bag resting on the seat beside him.I slid into the seat across from him. He tensed but didn’t hesitate to push the bag toward me.“Everything you asked for,” he said, his voice low.I unzipped the bag just enough to catch a glimpse of the contents—flash

Chapter: Chapter 30Dominic’s POVI sat in the living room, hunched over with my elbows resting on my knees, staring at nothing. The sunlight spilled across the marble floor, golden and warm, but I barely noticed. I was drinking alcohol instead of coffee in the morning, the scent mingling with the salty ocean breeze drifting through the open balcony doors.All I could hear were her words from last night.“I hate my marriage. I hate the life I’ve been forced to live.”My jaw tightened. I had always known—always felt—that something was wrong. The way she moved, the way she smiled without it ever reaching her eyes. But hearing her say it? That made it real.“He controls everything—who I see, where I go.”I let out a slow breath, running a hand through my hair. I had seen it. The way Gabriel stripped her freedom away, piece by piece, until there was nothing left but the perfect wife he wanted her to be.“And I was too afraid to fight back because I didn’t even know who I was anymore. But now I do.”That’s wh

Chapter: Chapter 29Sofia’s POVThe air smelled like gasoline and burnt metal. From a distance, I could see the faint glow of flames licking at the wreckage—the car that was supposed to be mine.I watched in silence, my hands clenched at my sides. My body was here, hidden in the shadows, but my name was inside that burning car, disappearing into smoke.Dominic stood beside me, his presence steady, grounding. “It’s done,” he murmured.I didn’t respond. How was I supposed to feel? Relieved? Terrified? Free?The police would arrive soon. They’d find the body, charred beyond recognition. The news would spread. Gabriel would hear it. He’d believe I was dead.My heart pounded. I had spent years feeling trapped, suffocated in a marriage I never wanted. Now I was finally free—but it didn’t feel real yet. It felt like I was watching someone else’s life burn away.“We should go,” Dominic said.I turned away from the fire, my eyes stinging. Whether it was from the smoke or something deeper, I didn’t know.“Where?”
