Merliah’s Point of view.
----------------
Soft bed and the smell of flower-scented air freshener was the first thing I noticed as I slowly opened my eyes. In my blurred vision, I saw Arvin's worried face.
"Liah, are you alright?" he said while checking if I had a fracture. He also touched my forehead to see if I was hot or not. What has the fever got to do with my fall? This friend of mine is crazy.
“Sort off? Don't overreact, I'm still alive and I don't have a fracture.” I didn't break my bone, I only had scars on my elbows and knees, I'll just have a laser, so I don't get scars. I will also wait for the bruise to disappear. My mom will scold me ag
------------------Merliah’s Point of view.----------------Time passed quickly. I wore a simple candy pink which almost touched the floor. I meant to wear a long dress to hide my bruises.Arriving at the venue, I kissed mommy and daddy on their cheek, the same goes with aunt and uncle. My family and Arvin's family were at the same table.At the other table was Lore's. I thought Lore wouldn't be attending because she was absent from class earlier, but it doesn't seem like the fever was the reason for her absence.We stepped onto the small stage in the Elysian family’s
----------------Maximillan’s Point of view.--------------------I don't want to go to her anymore because maybe whenever she's around I might not be able to stop myself from hugging her tightly. But I was alarmed and of course, worried about the woman I love. I know how she would lose control whenever alcohol get better of her, so I immediately went to BGC. I was going to BGC for a drink before Liah called. Fortunately, I also planned to drink because I didn't want to break up with Liah, and then I suddenly found out that she was engaged.“Look at yourself, are you that alcoholic?”“Do you know, today is my engagement party?”
------------------Merliah’s Point of view.----------------There was no other event when I woke up yesterday, Maurice told me that the dean saw me coincidentally at BGC so he took me home. It would have been okay if it was true, but I was embarrassed when I saw a call log on my phone, meaning I actually called the dean. I locked myself in my unit, after leaving my twin's unit. I slapped myself when the memory of last night surfaced. It's embarrassing!I also remembered to call Lore to ask if she was home, I saw the witch's eyes on the screen, her eyes are dark and puffy like mineJust a day passed after that embarrassing part of my life. It may be one day but I felt like that sh
------------------Merliah’s Point of view.----------------I wiped my cheek before returning to the open space for a roll call and some announcements and activity mechanics today. I bent down slightly as I walked so I didn’t notice that I had encountered anyone."I'm sorry," I apologized."It's ok," says the guy. "Wait, Liah?" he added.When I lift my face, Juvil is in front of me. I looked around first to see if my paranoid cousin was around, you know I don't want trouble. She can be scandalous when it comes to her boyfriend..tss! as if I was going to snatch him.
------------------Merliah’s Point of view.----------------He stood up and I hugged him around the waist while my head rested on his abs. This silence with my dean is too comforting.“Liah! Where are you? ”That voice, I know who has the most loudmouth of all.“I think your friend is looking for you, so let’s head out. By the way, you need to thank the new girlfriend of your former boyfriend since she saved you from drowning.”“Yeah, I will do that. By the way, her name is Stacy Ishid, and she is my cousin. She's one of you
------------------Merliah’s Point of view.----------------We're back because college week is over and I'm here now in his unit... We're back!Yes, I'm repeating it! We got back together again, I've already explained the pretense behind my engagement with Arvin... My friend explained his concern so I agreed...“Your father will arrange you for another heir, that’s why I am asking you to trust me. I assure you, no marriage would happen in the future. Your brother and I decided on this thing, we are protecting you from getting married to a stranger.”Those were exact words by Arvin. He has a poin
------------------Merliah’s Point of view.----------------H-Hey, dean calm down! Why are you sticking your tongue inside? I said it's just smack, is this the interest he mentioned?The way he kisses me... it's burning me inside.I can't explain but he seems to be sucking my soul as well! There was a tickle that seemed to electrify me. I could no longer restrain myself and I also retaliated with the dance of his lips.My dessert was earlier than the dinner itself. I wonder how many lips he had kissed? D
------------------Merliah’s Point of view.----------------When I woke up, the first thing that came to me was Dean's good morning chat. The single ass out there must close their eyes because they might get envious.I also replied *Good morning. I just woke up*. He sent me a heart emoticon. Later the three circles on the mess*nger moved, meaning he was typing.Suddenly my twin spoiled the moment. He even dialed through messenger. I'm waiting for Dean's reply when my twin brother called."Why?" I replied as soon as I answered his call.&ldquo
—--------------------Merliah’s POINT OF VIEW—-----------------We’re looking for a potential home hoping to find one nearby Lore's residence. Unfortunately, there are no more available houses or even lots at all.We dislike the two houses we visited because one has a bad view. While the other one has a small yard, and both are not in a good location.We are now heading to the last house we will inspect, and hopefully, it will be the last because I am tired, to be honest."What do you think of this one?" he said while pointing to the big house, it has two floors, and the outside is beautif
—--------------------Maximillan's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------I was standing alone in a vast garden when all of a sudden a voice had caught my attention.I was distracted when I heard the voice; it kept calling me ‘Daddy!’I couldn’t see the owner’s voice, so I followed the sound of weak laughter.“Come, find me.”I was confused because a new voice was calling me again. I turned around and found a boy standing behind me.
—--------------------Maximillan's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------I tried to close the gap between our faces when suddenly...~ tok ~ tokI almost cried in pain when my back hit the floor because she suddenly pushed me. I fell on the bed. Thus, the floor caught my back.“Brother, we are leaving. Please open the passcode,” Maurice said on the other side of our bedroom door.Good thing that they are leaving… so… I wonder if we can continue despite our ruined moment.I watched her leave as she approached the door until she closed the bedroom door. I deliberately showed that I was sulking or I wasn't in the mood. I frowned when I heard the bedroom door open. I kept quiet and waited for her to notice me or lie down on the bed to rest."Instead of frowning, how about you take the Durex out of the drawer?"
—--------------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------My brother and sister-in-law are hanging out today in our humble pad because there might be less chance of us seeing and comfortably bonding like this as they will live far from us."Who are you talking to?" Maurice asked lore. He noticed his wife was laughing while holding her phone.“Ah, I talked to my former classmate in a specialized course at Oxford. This acquaintance of mine is talking about the one who liked me last year. He's still broken.”"So?" Maurice asked with a frown, and his eyebrow furrowed.“That guy who liked me back then has a friend who was also broken-hearted because of Liah”"Who are you referring to?" I asked innocently. I don't remember anyone trying to woo me during my stay in Oxford.“Remember that guy who a
—--------------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------Watching a movie with Max without the fear of getting caught by my fellow students nor his fellow faculty is so rewarding. We never tried dating in a cinema or public place during university days back then. I didn't know it was worth the shot.We had used to just binge watch in his dormitory when he was my professor and our college dean. We have to avoid seeing familiar faces and getting entangled with gossip.I leaned my head on the shoulder of my betrothed while his right arm rested on my shoulder. We are not fond of romantic movies, so the genre we chose is mixed with action; since we both have the same taste in movies.
—--------------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------I heard steps coming from sandals approaching me. However, I didn’t look back to see whoever came to me. I never lose my gaze at the motion of the cloud from here in the hotel garden."What are you doing here? Are you upset because you had to move your wedding to next year instead of getting married this year?”I turned around and smiled at mommy. We are never close, but I am not mad with my parents. We're just not close since they are always busy. Even though Maurice inherited daddy's company, we still didn't have the chance to bond with our parents, they never reached out, and the same goes for us. We only me
—--------------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------"Hey, what are you doing there?" I patted Maurice with my foot.“Liah”“It's late, why are you sleeping outside? Don’t tell me you forgot the passcode of your pad? Why don't you call me Lore?”"She changed the passcode and forbade me to let me in."I scratched my head as I tried to figure out what had happened to the two of them. Lore probably got mad at my twin again."Wait, I'll just put these i
—--------------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------I stood in the body-sized mirror of the hotel where our wedding was being held. My heart was pounding as I listened to the sound of a large clock hanging on the wall.“This is it, liah. Today you will become Mrs. Dereux,” I whispered.Later I heard the door open. I turned around and saw a man holding the door, and I wondered why he wasn’t walking closer to me. He just stared at me from head to toe.I was nervous seeing his reaction, he was not the epitome of the happy man who's about to get married to the love of his life.“W-What’s wro
—--------------------Merliah’s POINT OF VIEW—-----------------After quarreling, spending time together without worries is a must to fix the gap in our intimacy. We decided to spend quality time outside today because we've been busy these past few daysWe deserve this date. I want to do what we couldn't do when we were still at Elysian University. I want to go to those places that we couldn't go to when I was her dean and professor because we were afraid of backlash in our relationship.The first place we visited was the playground near MAUI. It was the place where Max kissed me next to the swing. I still have these uncontrollable butterflie
