I went outside of that room. We're upstairs, so I can't come down right away. I just walked quickly there, even though I didn't know where I was going. My feet took me to the outdoor restaurant in that hotel. No one eats much there because it's too windy and cold. The strong wind hit my face, and I savored the fresh air while closing my eyes.

As time goes on, I feel that my life is becoming more complicated. First, I had a one-night stand with Cristiano without knowing that he was the older brother of one of my best friends; second, Mr. Reyes and I even had an issue with the fact that I was his mistress. Now it was Liam who suddenly confessed to me in front of our parents.

I stayed there for a while with my eyes closed and thought about what I should fix first. I saw that Liam was sincere in what he said earlier. I didn't know that since we've been friends for so long, he has developed more feelings for me. I couldn't believe it because, since we were children, we treated each other

    To this day, I still can't believe what Cristiano said. I feel like it's just a dream to have someone like him tell you that you're beautiful. I don't know if it's right for me to be thrilled with him at those points because of the number of problems I have. "Maybe Liam just got used to me being with him all the time. He was just shocked," I said. I'm ashamed now, especially when I remember how Liam confessed in front of our parents and how I ran away from him earlier in front of Cristiano because I didn't know what my answer would be. I was also shocked by the events. Cristiano laughed a little again, so I looked at him with a frown. I also looked at how he drives effortlessly while just chilling, leaning on the driver's seat, and looking straight at the road. He shook his head before speaking. "My two brothers are fighting because of you. Did Lucas also confess to you?" he asked. I quickly shook my head because I was confident that no matter what happened, Lucas would never lik

    I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that there was still a bottle of Chateau Margaux wine there. I remembered that it was a gift from Marcus, and I really didn't drink it because it was quite expensive. Now I can open it and drink it because it would be a shame if I had a Christianous Smith drink ordinary wine. "You saved me tonight," I whispered into the wine. Feeling so relieved, I hugged it, but when I remembered that Cristiano was with me in the condo, my heart started pounding again. I took a deep breath before taking two wine glasses from there and returning to the living room, where I left Cristiano. When I saw Cristiano sitting quietly on the sofa where I left him earlier, I felt my cheeks heat up. His back was leaning there while one of his thighs rested on his knee. He wasn't doing anything else there, and it was as if he were just bent over, as if he were deep in thought. "I'm sorry. Did I take too long?" I asked him. I don't even know what to say to break our silen

    "Alright, Lily. Let's not talk about it. I want to rest my mind even just tonight," Cristiano told me. I nodded and poured wine into my glass again. I was suddenly embarrassed because maybe he really didn't want to talk about it, and I opened the topic about it. "I'm sorry if I gave an opinion, but you're right. Let's not talk about it. We're here to relax and chill," I replied to him. He didn't speak, so I drank wine again. I also just realized that the wine that Marcus gave me as a gift was delicious. When we meet again, I will request that he buy me something like that again. "It's alright, Lily. I also asked about your love life, so it's fine that we talked about mine," said Cristiano. He came to the table and poured wine into his glass, so I just watched him while thinking about what could be our new topic. I can't tell him to go home because I don't know anything we can talk about there. "Does the wine taste good?" I asked him. "Yeah, yeah! Actually, it tastes good. Your

    When I called Stella and Marcus, I said there was an emergency and they needed to come to my condo. They didn't ask for anything else because they quickly left their house. "Maybe those two will hate us when they find out that we just pranked them!" Caroline said, laughing. She's starting to drink now, so I'm not in the mood to drink hard drinks. That's why I'm drinking the wine that Cristiano and I have left over now. "If I don't say it's an emergency, they won't come here," I said. "That's right. It's still hard to invite those two, especially when it's this late," Caroline answered. The two of us just drank there while waiting for our two friends, and I told her everything that happened to me that whole week. At first, I was too shy to tell her what happened to me and Cristiano, but when she opened up about it, I just followed her. I just can't believe that the world is really so small. Can you believe it? That the man that Stella's dad was dating for her also had a one-night

    I still can't really believe it. I want to know why Cristiano had to deliver food to my condo. "Didn't you ask why he brought me food?" I asked Marcus. "Nope, but he said he only passed that so you wouldn't have to cook your breakfast this morning. He thought you were alone," he continued to tell me. I nodded and calmed myself down because Marcus might still notice that I was enjoying it there. "Tell me the truth, Lily. Are you and Cristiano dating?" he asked me suspiciously. I was surprised because of his question. I almost hit him on the arm because he was thinking about something. "Of course not!" I answered immediately. "How did he know you were here alone? Was he here last night?" he asked again. "How can he come here when you three are here?" I asked him sarcastically. "Before we got here, I wouldn't judge you if he was here last night. In fact, I'm even happy because I know you're very happy because you're with your crush," he continued. "What are you talking about? H

    I left Liam there, and I don't know if he will wait in my office or if he will just wait for me to call him later. I didn't even get to ask because I was in a hurry to leave, but my office is open for him. I'll just ask Janeth later where Liam is waiting for me. "Good afternoon, ma'am, architect!" I was surprised when I got to the parking area; Romel and Benz were already there. I raised one eyebrow and looked at the two of them, whom you thought were not bodyguards because of their appearance. "Wow! You've returned to your duty to watch over me?" I asked them, laughing. "Yes, ma'am, architect! Did you miss us?" Benz asked in a joking voice. I laughed and shook my head before answering. "Actually, no. I suddenly felt sad when I saw you again," I answered in a joking voice. "It's terrible, architect. Why?" Romel asked. "I'm just kidding. I'm just glad that you guys are here again. Just don't get too close to me," I said. "Yes, ma'am, architect. You can count on us," they answe

    "I know that, Liam, and if I still like Cristiano, I know where my boundaries are. Believe me or not, I really don't like Cristiano anymore," I explained to him one after the other. Cristiano doesn't need to be included in our conversation because what we need to talk about right now is ours. "And let's not talk about him. What we need to talk about is our current situation," I added. "I don't believe that you don't like my brother, but that's okay. Don't let your heart go away from me," he answered me. "Of course not. You're still my friend, Liam. Nothing will change what we had before. I hope you're the one who doesn't stay away from me because I can only give you friendship," I replied to him. "Of course, my heart won't be far from you, Lily. It's not important to me if I'm spoiled or if I have hope for you. The important thing here is that I told you how I feel. I can't keep it a secret anymore, especially from the two of you and Lucas," he continued and then shrugged his sho

    A few weeks have passed since my problems happened. I also got involved in Regina's issue because she accused me of spreading that video, but I immediately made up my mind with Liam's help. He handled the case there and proved that Regina had no evidence to accuse me, so it just went back to her. She is the one who has been charged with oral defamation, which is why her management's head hurts so much. "Architect! Are you ready later?" Trisha asked me. I am in the office today, and we are busy with some work. We're finishing it because Stella asked to go out for a night because it's the weekend. I refused at first because I'm not in the mood to party right now. I'm also feeling a bit bad because it's only once our group is complete that I have no choice but to go with them. "Yup," I replied sparingly. "I think you're moody today, architect. Are you all right?" Wendy asked me. Both of my eyebrows were slightly raised, and I immediately shook my head because I didn't know that they

    CRISTIANO'S POV."You should come to the event, Cristianous. Your brothers are expecting you tonight." It was my mom who's forcing me to come to the Scott Family event.I finished the whiskey I was drinking before I sighed and answered Mama."Alright. See you later."I know Mama is very happy because I agreed to join them at that event because I haven't been with them for a long time. She has requested me several times, and even once I did not accept her invitation. Maybe it's time. It's time to show up for them again."So, you're coming home to Manila to attend the event?" Andrew asked me, who had been by my side for a while.I nodded as I answered him, then poured whiskey into my glass again."Well, that's good. It's only right that you go home to be with your family," he told me.Andrew is also right. Now that I'm with him and I've trained him in my jobs, he's the one who rarely has meetings with my clients. He also sometimes takes care of my other businesses when I'm busy, so I ha

    Cristiano and I returned to Manila, and Sabrina was very happy when she found out that we had returned with my memory. I don't know how I should feel now because, since I can remember, I've been sadder. I was sad because I feel like Mom and Dad died just yesterday.I looked at the wide garden of our house while our maids were busy arranging the long, big table in the middle. It was noisy there because of the shouting and laughter of Sabrina's three children. My two arms were crossed over my chest while standing in front, and I couldn't help but smile because of my nieces and nephews.Sabrina is preparing here at our old house for my homecoming. I don't know why she had to prepare such a dinner, even though we could have eaten outside."Lily."I looked at Cristiano, who stood next to me. He was wearing long white sleeves and black pants. I glanced at him because it looked like he meant to wear that so that what he was wearing would match the white mini dress I was wearing."Are you all

    FLASHBACK!I wiped the tears that ran down my cheeks and took a deep breath to regain my courage. So much happened, and until now, it's still hard for me to sink it into my mind.The night Cristiano was shot, I thought I would never see him alive again. I thought he would never hear from me that I had forgiven him for all the sins he committed in our past. I thought I would lose him forever.Everything I thought of for Cristiano went to someone else because Mommy disappeared that night. She died because of the ambush that happened in our house while celebrating my father's birthday. I blame everything on me because if I had not returned to the Philippines, that incident would not have happened. I hope Mommy is still alive, and I hope Dad didn't get sick because of Mommy's loss.I'm sitting in front of Mom and Daddy's grave today, and I can't believe that the two most important people in my life are gone."I'm sorry if I failed to give you a grandchild from me," I said, holding Dad's g

    And lastly, I thought I would finally have freedom and happiness in my life. I thought I wouldn't be miserable anymore, and I wouldn't feel any sadness, but I was wrong. I thought wrong.It's hard to wake up every day, and you don't remember anything, and you don't even recognize yourself. I don't know how it happened, but I just woke up one morning feeling like everything had changed. I just woke up one day, and I don't remember anything.I was sweating profusely while walking down the long stairs. I feel a pain in my stomach, and I can't explain how much it hurts. Until I looked at my thigh, and I saw a lot of blood coming out there. At the same time as the blood dripped on my thigh, my tears also fell."Lily! Lily!" a cold baritone made my eyes open.I almost took a deep breath when I finally woke up. I felt my hands trembling, and because of the fear I felt, I immediately covered my face. My tears flowed because I still felt the fear and pain in my heart."Lily, it's just a dream.

    In the moments that I wait for Cristiano's arrival, I fight against my sleepiness and fatigue. I haven't had much of a break yet because that was also the day I returned home from America. My nervousness and fear prevailed so much that no matter how heavy my eyelids were, I could not close them. More than half an hour has passed, and I'm sure Cristiano is close. I stood up from my seat and looked out the window again. The men guarding there still didn't leave, so I just held my breath. Aren't they tired or sleepy? I just shook my head, and I was in agony. I just hope Cristiano brought enough men because Mike has too many men. I was standing there for a while when I felt the watch in my pocket vibrate, so I quickly took it out to look at it. Cristiano was calling, so I didn't take too long to answer because of the nervousness I was feeling earlier. "We're here. The house has three floors. What floor are you on?" Cristiano asked me immediately. "Second floor," I answered. "Alright.

    "We've been separated for a long time since our baby was lost. So, why don't you want to let me go?" I asked him. There was a tear in the corner of my eye, but I immediately looked up to stop the tears from flowing. I told myself that I would never cry in front of him again. "I-I don't want us to separate. Forgive me, Lily. I will accept everything; just don't divorce me," he answered me, and his hug tightened even more. I got out of his arms to get him away from hugging me, but he was too strong for me. "Leave me alone," I told him. I felt him take a deep breath before he completely separated me from the embrace, but my eyes widened at what he did next. "W-What are you doing?" I stammered to him. I looked around us, and I was very thankful because there was no one there. He knelt down and held my hand. "Don't leave me. Please." His voice broke as he reached for my hands to hold them. I had to bend down to look at him and straighten him up from kneeling, but he didn't move, j

    [After Flashback: Continuation of Chapter 8] *** "I-I'm so sorry to hear that, Lily. If only I knew what you went through," Liam told me. I wiped my tears and immediately drank the wine in front of me. I never thought that in a few years I would cry again. That made it very difficult for me to move on. After I asked Sabrina to help me take me to another country without anyone knowing, I started to forget everything that happened, but I still can't help but remember it sometimes. "What Cristiano did to you was wrong, but have you forgiven him yet? Are you ready to face him again?" Liam asked me. I laughed and shook my head because I could really face Cristiano. I really feel a little scared because I don't know how we will both react when we meet again. The only thing I want right now is to divorce our marriage, which is why I can't help but get angry every time he just throws away the papers I send him. Liam and I had a good conversation because I was able to explain to him eve

    No one can say how much pain I feel right now. I just lost my child, and that's because Cristiano hurt me. I blame myself because if I hadn't fought him, I hope it wouldn't have happened. If only I had stayed in that room and made him hurt me. I was just stupid while sitting in the hospital bed. I've been crying there for a while now, and occasionally I'll stop when I get tired. I can't accept what happened. I can't accept that the child I was waiting for disappeared in an instant. I have never even touched her or seen her, and I will never see her as a woman with me. "Eat this so you can get some strength. I called Sabrina," said Cristiano. He never left my side, even though I pushed him away several times. I cried even more because I remembered our parents and siblings, who were very anxious for the arrival of my future child, but that will never happen. I have no appetite at all. I don't want to see Cristiano because I just remembered falling down the stairs. I'm afraid that he

    "Why are you returning the words that should be yours to me? You're the one who's cheating here and not me!" I added to him. He is really the one who is cheating on both of us, not me. He returned to his ex; he was seeing her secretly. Francine's husband and I are being cheated on. "So, you're recovering? You're doing this to shame me?! Your face is thick! I only married you because I was shocked and because of the child you're carrying! I agree to marry a girl, but nothing like you!" he continued. I wiped my tears and shook my head at what he was saying. There is no truth in that because cheating is something I can never do because I know how it feels. "I'm not taking it back. I'm not fooling you-" "Stop lying!" he shouted because I stopped talking. "You know Liam likes you; that's why you're going out with him! I wish you'd just marry him! You were a bit shy at first, but you like him too!" he said to me one after the other. I almost caught my breath from crying there. I shoo
