“me? Can you stop kidding and tell me who it is?” I asked
“I just told you. It's Yu. The Chinese American who went off duty yesterday” he said and looked at the girls. I heaved a sigh, he didn't hear it though. My cover up had worked. I paid him off and told him to run away to a faraway country and fake a new identity. I had actually threatened him with all his crimes. He was my fish bait.

Will“help! Somebody please help!” Mari cried as she held unto Fred. I could only look on and couldn't do anything. Eliza was still unconscious and I was drifting away slowly.My eyes were closing and my ears kept hearing Mari's cries. I tried to stay conscious but I couldn't fight it*I woke up in a bed. As usual I felt heavy and weak at the same timeI sat up and slowly ran my fingers through my hair. I've been through a lot this past week and I don't think I would be able to get the memories off me.I can't believe Eduardo didn't die. That psychopath! He was behind this all along. I shouldn't think this way but I'm glad I saw him die real this time. At least I'll be sure he won't come back.I sighed when I remembered how Mari clung to Fred's body and cried. I was hurt. She didn't even care for me the way she did for him. Does that really mean she loves h

MariOne week to their birthday I fell ill. Eliza thought it was as a result of the stress or trauma we had gone through two months ago but it wasn't. I knew exactly why I felt down. It had to do with my heart. It was empty and it wanted it's owner back.I got off from the bed where I was just resting and I walked to my drawer. I pulled open the third one and lifted some papers up. I saw it. The purple envelope with white flowers on it. Marigolds.I smiled and pulled it out then closed the drawer. I sat on the floor and crossed my legs then ran my thumb on the envelope“it's next week” I said to myself and smiledI hugged the envelope and laid down on the floor. The floor was cold, so not good for me but I didn't care. The thought that Will wanted me back made me feel warm.Eliza came into the room two minutes later and gasped when

MariGold’s POVI briskly walked faster than my legs could carry me. I even tripped at intervals and got people looking at me with weird eyes. I was just trying to get back home before this heavy rain pours down on me. I have a problem with pneumonia and getting showered by cold water from the sky will do more harm than goodThe wind began to blow vehemently, carrying my hair about and blinding my vision. I quickly brought out a band from my pocket and fastened it over my hair. I then braided it and it was in placeI began to run as little drops of water fell to the earth. It soon began to drizzle and the traders by the roadside began to pack their goods.“Mari” I heard my name. I looked back while running, it was Eliza my best friend and former classmate in highschool“wait” she yelled as she began to run towards me"“I can

MariGold's POVAfter selling off what I gathered, I divided the money into two. I passed by Eliza's shop and gave her one half“hide this for me Eliza. I don't want my auntie to snatch it off”She rinsed her hands in the little bowl of water. She just finished eating with her hands“where did you get it?” she asked, taking the money from me“I just sold off the steel I gathered” I replied and wiped off the sweat that had soaked my hair and making it stick to my skin“okay I'll hide it. It's just fifty peso”“yeah. I'll gather more next time, so I can buy a dress for church”She nodded“are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?” she asked with sincere eyes“I'm okay. I'll check up on you later, th

Mari's POVI was already on my way back home. I have things to do which includes making raffia hand fans for auntie Denny. And I'll have to do lots of it so I can sell them and gather money. Of course that would be done undercover. She won't be so happy to see me doing things to get money on my own. According to her, I don't need money. She still sees me as fifteen years. And I'm twenty two.Auntie Denny is my mom's elder sister with two years. My mom is a hustler. The other type of hustle. Let me just say it, she sells things illegally and she also works as a prostitute.The last time I heard from her was when I was eighteen years. When we were still leaving fine, she used to come and see me. Buying me lots of things and promising me heaven on earth some of which she fulfilled. She promised to quit her illegal business and come back home fully after the last one she was about to go for. Unfortunately, the day she left f

MariGold's POVI wore my janitors' uniform. It was a blue overall outfit. I tied my hair in a tight bun and took a bucket and mop.I was to clean the stairs leading to the VIP section upstairs. Eliza was in the kitchen wiping plates and she was wearing a white overall with a long white hat. She looked so funny and with the way she glared at me, she knew I was secretly laughing at her.I went to the bottom of the staircase and kept a sign board that said WET STAIRS USE ELEVATORI began to clean them. It's not that people even use the stairs, they always use the elevator. But sometimes when the elevator is faulty, they have to use the stairs. That's what Eliza told meAs I cleaned on, I looked behind to see if I was cleaning well. From afar, I saw a brown speck on the second stair“you tried to escape and you thought you succeeded. Too bad, detective Gold doesn't leave

Wilbur's POVI parked the car beside Wini's car. Thank God she's at home. I hurried to the house and entered the living room. The television was on and a bowl of popcorn was on the table. A tumbler of carrot juice was beside the bowl and a red handkerchief was on the cushion. It's obvious she's been here."Wini!" I called out“Winifred!" I called again and was heading upstairs, maybe I could find her in her room“hey I'm right here” she said behind me. I looked down and saw her drinking a bottle of water“guess what?” I said, climbing down the stairs“Kate finally let you sleep with her” she said and moved to the cushion“what is wrong with you?” I asked, clearly irritated with her guess.“you asked me to guess. And I did” she stated and sat down placin

MariGold's POVI headed back to Eliza's shop. Luckily her mother wasn't back.“you're back so soon. Did you see her by the roadside?” she asked, standing up from the stool she was sitting on“no. Actually, someone else bought them on the road” I stated and sat down on a bench“really? Everything?” she asked and I nodded“a he? Or a she?”‘‘a he. I think he's rich. He looked so elegant and fresh. His car is flashy and even his outfit showed elegance.” I said and she beamed with eyes that said 'go on'“and he bought them for six thousand” I added and her eyes lit up“six thousand? As in six thousand pesos? What?” she, exclaimed and quickly sat down“I was so surprised too. He said he was gonna need it to act a movie&rd

Will ððI woke up when I felt someone touching my hands. I opened my eyes and saw a man untying me. He looked really familiar. I didn't make any move nor sound till he untied my hands l. He proceeded to untie my legs then he looked up at me. He gasped a little as his eyes met with mine.“you look... awfully familiar” I muttered under my breath“don't talk” he whispered. He took my hand and placed it over his shoulder then placed his other hand behind me“let's get you up” he said and pulled me up gently“where are you taking me?” I asked“I said don't talk” he replied and began to walk with me. We kept walking quietly through the darkness of a hallway outside the room.We finally got outside in the cold and dark night. There was a car standing close-by with two men carr

Will ðAfter the party I went straight to my car to drive home and rest my head. I sat in and closed the door when a gun slowly pointed to my head“don't look back” the masculine voice said“how did you—”“—don't ask questions either” the voice warnedI exhaled and sat still“drive and follow the GPS” he said and I slowly started the car. The GPS turned on and I sighed again. How did he even get into the car talk more of setting the GPS?I began to drive, following the GPS with the gun firmly resting against my head. I would have tried those skills in action movies where they grab guns but I couldn't for two reasons, first this is reality and second, I'm a romance actor not Vin Diesel.I kept driving till we got out of Manila. I was scared, I tried to do something to help myself but I knew t

Mari ðI was no longer comfortable. I felt suddenly hot and thirty“are you okay? You look tense all of a sudden” Fred asked and I laughed“I'm fine. Come on focus, the bride and groom are about to kiss” I said with a fake smile. He stared at me as if he didn't believe me before looking forward. I didn't expect him to believe me though, I was terrible at pretending and besides, my face looked sad already.The couple kissed and turned to look at us. Everyone stood up to clap and cheer except me, I was absentminded“Mari” Fred whispered“uhh? Oh oh. I'm sorry” I quickly said as I was standing up. They walked through the aisle amidst the cheers and the guests started walking out too, heading for the wedding party“isn't my cousin beautiful?” he asked“very. Very beauti

MariðI woke up in a hospital with eyes so dull and heavy I almost decided not to open them. I saw a girl sleeping with her head resting on a table close to the wall. At first I didn't recognize her but I later realized it was Eliza.“Eliz... Eliza... Eliza” I called weakly. I moved my hand from my stomach to the bed“Eliza” I called again while hitting my hand gently on the bed. She stirred a little“Wake up Elizabeth” I said and she yawned and sat up“Eliza”She opened her eyes and stayed at me without recognition. She was still turning on her system.I stared at her and waited for her to resume. Few seconds later she gasped“Mari! Oh my God! My honey pie” she cooed and got up from the chair immediately. She ran to me and hugged me gently

Wilbur I smiled as I watched Mari open a candy and put it in her mouth. She must be waiting for someone because she leaned over on her car and crossed her arms. I could see her face clearly and I couldn't help but smile at her face. She's so beautiful. âI miss youâ I muttered and brought out my phone. I took pictures of her through my windscreen. I began to look through them and when I lifted my face, I saw that she had already stood straight and was looking towards the bank. A man was walking out and he walked straight to her and held her hand. I didn't hear what they were saying but with their expressions she was upset and he was apologizing. Who is he? I don't remember Mari having male friends or relations. I watched as she took whatever was in his hand and entered her car. She drove away leaving the guy who now stood akimbo. He shook his head and called a taxi which took him away

WillI stood outside, leaning on my car and watched as Mari walked out. The light from the restaurant was reflecting on her tears and I palmed my face. I can't believe I had to do that.She entered her car and didn't drive out immediately. She spent close to ten minutes in there and if my guess is correct, she was crying her eyes sore. I felt like running to her car and pulling her out, then tell her it was all a silly prank.“nice job. Now go home” a voice I recognize as Derulo said behind me. I scoffed and turned to look at him standing with three other men“what are you? Demon?” I asked and he laughed“I wish” he said and brought out his hands from his pocket“I've done what you said I should do, now I hope you stay away from her.” I said“you know we don't fail promises. We promised we'd k
