BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 16: CAUGHT ON
Dale’s POVChelsea called me saying that she has something important to tell me and from the tone of her voice, I’m sure it’s something serious.I am at a restaurant because this is where we are going to meet. I can finally see her through the glass wall. I let her sit and waited until she was ready to speak.“Let’s order our food first, shall we?”“Yeah, sure”We ordered the food and the food attendant told us that the food would be served in fifteen minutes.“What is it that you need to tell me?” I decided to open the topic.“About the bond that yours and my parent’s company would like to do in exchange of our marriage”I was surprised to hear those words from her.“How did you know?”“I can’t believe you really used me for some stupid partnership Dale!!”She’s yelling at me and mentioning my name made everyone look confused.“Chelsea calm down! Hear me out, okay?”She somehow eased down after I raised my voice at her.“Okay. Explain yourself”“I was the one who found out that your
BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 17: BAIL ME OUT
Dale’s POV“Chels! Chelsea!”I kept calling her name while I was entering the house.She’s here, I’m sure because her car is outside. I look into her room but she’s not there.“Excuse me, did you see Chelsea?” I asked one of the helpers.“She’s at the pool”I thank the helper and hurriedly rush to the pool area and there she is standing in front of the pool. I grab her hand but she’s not even surprised to see me. All I can see is pain and anger.“Let me explain, will you?”I made sure that she could feel the seriousness of my voice so she would listen instead of resisting.I let go of her hand after I noticed a change of reaction. “I just found out recently, exactly after we get back here. I was really planning to tell you but I wanted to confirm first the kind of relationship that Zae and Stacey had so I can explain it to you well but then she unexpectedly revealed it to you”“What about the fact that Zae is your ex-girlfriend, do even plan on telling me?”“Yes! I just need the cou
BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 18: TIME IS RUNNING
Dale’s POVI couldn’t muster up the courage to face her after I lied so I decided not to go in and just leave instead. It’s not a good idea to show up, it might stress her more. Besides, Ken will surely look after her.I took a cab heading home until I received a call.“Hello? Who’s this---”“We need to settle whatever misunderstanding we have. Let's meet”From the way the woman from the other side speaks, I can tell she’s Stacey.“How did you get my number?”“Doesn’t matter. Meet me”“I’m not in the mood now. Can you give me a break?”“Tomorrow. I’ll text you the address”She hangs up the call. I wanted to explode and turn all my frustrations to her but every time I think she’s Zae’s girlfriend, I just can’t. I don’t want Zae to be mad at me for mistreating the person she loved after I took over her body and life.[CAR BRAKES]“What the--- what happened?!”The car took a snappy brake and I almost dived in front.“Someone crossed the street. I have to stop or else I’ll hit the woman”
BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 19: FEELING BAD
Dale’s POVI need to talk to you. I’ll come over to your place. My heart jumps out when I read Chelse’s text message for me. I thought it’d take long for her to decide to meet me but I am just glad now.I get myself ready and clean the house to make it tidy and pleasant. It’s not messy so it didn’t take long to clean it.[KNOCKS ON DOOR]She’s here! She must have been near when she called me. She arrived earlier than I anticipated.“You’re here---”I lost my smile and my excitement when I saw someone else than Chelsea. It was Stacey with her bright sweet smile.“Hi babe!” she cheerfully greeted me.“H-hi”I awkwardly smiled back when she wasn’t the one that I expected to see.“W-what are you doing here?” I stammered.“Visiting you like I always do. I brought some of your favorite foods. We’ll be eating together to fill the missed days that we didn’t meet and eat together. What do you think?” she still wearing that bright smile.“S-sounds good”“Why do you look uneased, are you okay?”
BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 20: CONFESSION
Chelsea’s POV“Going somewhere?” Ken asked.“You’re here again?” I asked.He’s been visiting me more frequently now and every time he does, I am always busy.“Where you’re heading to?”“To meet Zae, why?”“I thought you didn’t have anything to do now”“I’m sorry Ken, I already made plans today”“It’s okay. Take care”“Yoo too”I was about to leave when I received a message.Sorry Chels. I couldn’t make it today. Something came up. It was a text message from Dale. I sighed in disappointment. I bet whatever he’s doing is more important than fixing the mess that's left in our relationship.OkayThat’s the only thing I replied to him. I don’t want to ask for more details and be upset afterward.“You’re not going?”Ken asked when he saw me walking back inside.“No”I straightly replied in annoyance.“Are you okay?” he worriedly asked.I suddenly realized that I should not draw my frustrations to Ken.[SIGH]“Yeah. I am just disappointed since I’m all ready and everything was canceled at t
BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 21: WE'RE NOT US
Dale’s POV“Babe, I have a surprise!!”There she goes again with her surprise.“What?”“Let’s go camping!!”“Camping? Where?”“You’ll know. Just trust me with this”“I’m busy with the business. Can we postpone that one?”Camping is not a good idea. I never experienced that one and I never want to try that.“Babe, I already reserved a spot for us. I wanted to surprise you because I was expecting that you would like it”“But---”“You’re not coming?”“Argh I-I have work…”When I saw her on the verge of crying, I couldn’t finish my word.“Fine! Just one night”“Yes?!”“Hm”“Yay!! I love you, babe! This will be fun! You’ll enjoy this. I am sure of it!!”She couldn’t hide her excitement that she jumped around the place.“I’ll meet you at six tomorrow. Bye!”She smacked a kiss on my cheek and left the house. She never lost her energy.[MESSAGE RECEIVED]Pack your things. I’m excited. Tomorrow going to be fun!I just don’t know what to say.[MESSAGE RECEIVED]Want to grab some coffee?Huh? Wh
BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 22: BREAK UP
Dale’s POV“Have you waited long for me?” I asked.We are outside. I don’t know him well yet that’s why I can’t invite him inside Zae’s home.“No. I was there just a few minutes before you arrived”“What do you want to talk about?” I directly asked.“How was your relationship with Stacey?”I got confused with his question.“Why do you ask?”“I just want to know. When you tried to take a break from your relationship with her, she didn’t agree and she was devastated. I’m just also concerned about her”“We’re on good terms now and we’re… happy. She’s very sweet and caring”“That’s good to hear”“Why are you concerned about her? Do you like her?”“I can’t like a best friend and I respect your relationship”It’s obvious even if he doesn’t say it. He likes Stacey, his best friend.“Hmm. Is that all that you want to say?”“There’s one more thing”“What is it?”“Do you take sleeping pills?”“No. Not these past few days, why?”“Uhm… Don’t take those”“Why?”“I saw a news about a girl who took
BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 23: TROUBLE
Dale’s POV“Where have you been?” Stacey asked the moment I got in.“Downstairs. I accompany her” I simply replied.“Why are your eyes red? Did you cry---”“No. Something got into my eyes while going up here, so I scrubbed it because it was itchy… it still hurts now” I lied.What I did was heavy and torturous. I wanted to turn back and hug her and take all the words I said, but if I did that, I would only make her miserable. From now, I just want to make her forget about me and move on. I have to do whatever to save her.“Do you want me to put some eye drops?” she asked.“Hm”If I denied her offer, she might notice that I was really lying to her.“Sit. I’ll put you some”I sit on the couch and elevate my head so she can put some of it.“How was your business going?” she asked.“Good. It’s doing fine”She looked at me and smiled after she was done putting on some eye drops.“She’s nice. I like her” she stated.I couldn’t say a word to agree with her because it might cause misunderstand

I’ll go ahead, Mom. I need to buy flowers before going there”“Sure. Take care”I took my car key and left the house. It’s been a month has passed when we finally sent Stacey to jail. We have enough evidence that could prove all her wrong doings and Ryan also helped up with his testament but he didn’t escape the punishment. He was also sentenced to a short-term imprisonment but he accepted it since he acknowledged that it was a pure mistake that he willingly did because of Stacey.I stopped at a flower shop and bought flowers.“For your lover?”“Eh?”“I’m sorry.

I know that I wasn’t good to you but I can never attempt to kill you---”“Tell me… I am curious about this… you denied that you met the guy who fabricated the pill… where were you then? Why can’t you tell the truth?”“First, I don’t know who that man is! I never seen him and I never brought a pill to him! I can’t to the court where I am because…”“What?”“Because I am having an affair with a politician!”An affair?“You mean a relationship with a married man?”“Let me make that clear, they’re divorced”“That’s pretty valid but that’s not enough to prove me your innocence”“I understand. You have every right to be mad at me. But you know what you made me realize? That was drifting apart. Every day, it gets harder to reach each other and that is because I pushed you away. Because I am obsessed with my career and want only the best for you, I d
BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 44: SURVIVE
Chelsea’s POV“Come in”Stacey invited me in. We’re meeting at her house since she told me that she has something to tell me. Whatever it is… I have no idea.“Please take a sit”I sat in the couch in front of her and acted as naturally as I could.“You should drink first”She offered me food and drinks too.“Thank you for the offer but I can’t drink juice anymore”“Is that so…”“By the way…what is it that you want to tell me?” I asked.“Did Zae’s mother come to you?”“No”She’ll surely suspect me if I say yes.“Okay… the thing is… she has a voice recording and she’s been using that to blackmail me”“What voice recording?”How did she know about it?“It was supposed to be an audition piece. I wanted to enter showbiz so I could be around Zae and it happened that she’s the veteran actress who partnered with me to do the audition and last minute she decided to change the script and when I delivered that, she secretly recorded it and she’s been using that to blackmail me”“Why didn’t you r

I’m Chelsea, Zae's friend and we want to talk to her for a while”“Wait here”After a while of waiting, the helper came back and let us in.As we entered, we saw Zae’s mother in the living room, smoking with her sleeping robe on. She told us to sit in front of her before she squeezed out the cigarette.“You’re Zae’s friend?” she asked.“Yes”“What do you want?” she uninterestingly asked.“We want to ask if you visited Zae on that night that she died”“I did” she answered with no hesitance.“Why?”“Don’t tell me you’re suspecting me as the one who kil

The most visited museum in Paris, the Louvre Palace. As we reached the place, the first thing we saw is the glass pyramid situated in the center of the palace.
