Chapter 33

'Hey Wife. Good Morning. I miss you so much. Let's see each other tonight.' I immediately smiled upon reading Kent's message. It's six in the morning. He wakes up early.

I was about to hit reply when I received another text message, and my smile vanished as soon as I saw the sender's name—Jiro.

'Hi Babe. I miss you like crazy. It's been one fvcking week. Please, let's see each other tonight.' There were sad faces at the end of his message. Ugh. He's acting like a child. Why didn't he invite Aria to go out tonight instead of me?!

So, I replied to Jiro before Kent. 'I'm busy.' I gave him a straightforward answer, and within two minutes, I received a call from him. I sighed. Even though we have some history together, and another news flash—we're still together. He still has some rights over me, even though he's cheating on me with my step-sister Aria. He's still my boyfriend. My first love. The boy who taught me how to love. Deep down, I still care for him.

"Fine," I replied t

    Chapter 34As soon as I diverted my gaze from Kent and Aria and turned my attention back to Jiro, I didn't want him to notice what I was watching outside. 'W-what?!' That's the only word I managed to say. Damn! I am not even in the mood now. All I wanna do right now is lay down in my bed and cry my heart out loud.Seeing Kent kissing another girl feels like hell. Why does it hurt more than seeing Aria and Jiro kiss? I don't understand."Babe... I want to be with you forever. Will you marry me?" Jiro asked me. My heart started beating faster, especially when he pulled out a black box from his pocket and opened it in front of me.It's a diamond ring.I closed my eyes tightly as tears started streaming down, and I am even breathless right now as memories of Jiro and I flash back in my mind."Babe, what are you doing?" Jiro asked me while we were sitting on a bench in the parking lot of Saint Catherine Genetics, waiting for Samantha."Babe," I replied to him and immediately hugged his han

    Chapter 35"Hey, Babe. Wait up," Jiro said as I was about to walk away from him. "Don't walk away from me," he added. He hugged me around the waist and rested his chin on my shoulder."Babe." He chuckled, which made me even more embarrassed. "Jiro, seriously!" I pouted and playfully pinched his side, to which he responded by giving me a kiss on the cheek. I'm just sixteen, and he said he'll only kiss me on the lips when I turn eighteen."Stop teasing me," I told him, pretending to be annoyed, but the truth is, I'm really giddy. Hihi! This is one of the reasons why I love Jiro so much. He never runs out of ways to make me feel loved. Every day, he has something new up his sleeve.Minutes turned into hours. Hours turned into days. Days turned into months, and I didn't even notice. One day, Jiro's parents bought the house next to ours."Babe, we don't have to be together only during the day anymore... it's now twenty-four seven," he said, and I smiled and kissed him on the cheek. I also

    Chapter 36"You should accept Jiro's engagement proposal." Just hearing his voice made my heart flutter, the butterflies in my stomach returned. I didn't look at him and kept gazing at the sky. Until I felt him standing beside me.Silence filled us as his words sank in. Accept Jiro's proposal?! What?! Why? I don't understand! I don't want to end up with Jiro, especially now that I love Kent!I faced Kent. He was looking at me too, but I couldn't read his thoughts. This is now or never. I don't want to regret in the end, whatever comes next. I'm going to say it, so I won't have any regrets later."I don't love Jiro anymore." I averted my gaze from him and looked back at the sky. I could see the familiar stars that I always see."If I end up with him, I'll age prematurely.." I was about to continue what I wanted to say when I heard Kent softly laugh, so I looked at him. Damn! That smile! I fell even more in love."What's so funny?" I asked him in confusion, and he just shook his head an

    Chapter 37As Kent wanted, I will answer Jiro's marriage proposal with a 'yes' later, but before that, Mommy invited us to enjoy ourselves by the beach.My parents and Jiro's parents are on the seashore, sunbathing on loungers, while the four of us are swimming not far away. It's eight in the morning, and the water is refreshingly cool, with the sun shining brightly."Kent, let's go there!" My irritation surged as soon as I heard Aria's voice! I turned around to where they were, and once again, I saw her hanging on to Kent like a snake!It's infuriating! I'm restraining myself from catching some jellyfish here and when I catch a lot, I'll throw them at Aria! She's so shamelessly flirtatious, always!"Hey, Babe. You look so pissed. What's wrong?" Jiro asked me. He suddenly appeared in front of me. I glared at him and swam away, unable to stand seeing his face, which only made my blood boil even more.I kept swimming until only a little sand was left beneath my feet. I don't care anyway

    Chapter 38I can't help but look at the sky, illuminated by the full moon and the twinkling stars that never cease. I sigh. This is really it. There's no turning back. This night will be a very, very long night. Jiro invited me to the gazebo because he has something to tell me, although I already have an idea of what it is. Still, I went along, pushed by everyone.Jiro guided me until we reached the center of the gazebo, where the fountain is located. There, I saw a lot of floating candles, each one a different color."It's beautiful," I couldn't help but praise Jiro's effort, and suddenly I forgot all my annoyance with him."I'm glad you like it, Babe," he replied to me. I smiled at him as he helped me sit by the edge of the fountain, while he sat in front of me.We stared into each other's eyes, and for some unknown reason, the familiar rapid heartbeat returned, the one I thought I would only feel with Kent.He held my hand, and if I hadn't quickly thought about it, I might have pul

    Chapter 39Most likely, if Selena were with me now, she would shout at me for being a weirdo. After all, it's midnight, and what am I doing? I'm here at the seashore, floating beneath the light of the moon and the cloudy sky that doesn't let any star shine through.I don't feel cold at all. Although my skin is cold, it's almost freezing. Imagine, in the middle of the night, I'm wearing nothing, just floating in the sea. But I don't care at all. I don't feel any emotions, even though just a while ago, I was in so much pain.Maybe I've had enough of that pain last night, which is why now, I feel so hollow. Numb. Void. Empty. Nothing. No sorrow. No pain. No joy. No anger. I can't even remember what it feels like to 'feel.'I placed my hand on my chest, trying to recall the pain I felt last night, but there's nothing. My heart is still beating, beating in a normal way, but that's it. There's nothing more."Kylie." Even though I didn't look at him, I knew who it was. It's Jiro. Since last

    Chapter 40"Kylie... you could have told us. We won't judge you. We're all friends, right? Of course, we're on your side no matter what." Samantha said."We love you dearly, Kylie, and we'll support you no matter what you do." Ariana added.Selena hugged me while Samantha and Ariana wiped away their tears. Since I am numb, I don't care even if they cry blood. I know they feel sorry for me now, and I don't even need it."I don't need your pity." I replied to them and gently pushed Selena away from me. "Don't touch me either." I knew they were surprised by my actions and words, but..."We understand you, Kylie. You're not yourself right now, and we're here for you." They smiled at me, and Selena suggested a group hug. They all hugged me, and no matter how much I tried to break free, they wouldn't let go."The night is still young. What should we do?" Selena asked after glancing at the clock. It was only 10 PM."We can just chat." Samantha suggested, looking at me. She gave me a mischiev

    Chapter 41-Two years later-"Kylie, don't you have any respect for us and your mother?!" Daddy asked me. Kenzo and I were going upstairs to my room when we both froze upon hearing Daddy's shout.I slowly turned around to face their angry gazes. Mommy was there too, looking very sad."What's your problem, Old Hag?!" I replied to him. I saw Mommy trying to stop him from coming at me. I went down the stairs to approach them with Mommy.It seemed like Kenzo didn't care and went straight to my room. Well, it wasn't the first time he witnessed this scene."Why do you keep bringing home different men every night?!" Daddy asked me with intense anger. I could feel his restrained fury. I glared at him and answered."We can't understand you anymore, Mommy and I! You join illegal street races, you've been in jail. You party every night, and it's my money you're spending. You don't have a job, you don't even want to finish school. And now, you're bringing home random men! What's next?""Child, wh

    EndingI didn't know what to say to Aiden. I was happy and hurting at the same time. Happy because I could feel and hear Aiden's endless love for me, and hurting because I needed to be with Arden."I'm sorry, Aiden, you can't change my mind. Arden... Arden needs me more than you do."When I looked at the left side of my body, I noticed there was a cast from my fingers down to my arm. That's why I was in so much pain earlier; I had broken a bone! What's going to happen now? How am I going to go to school? How will I manage my daily routine with a broken left hand? And I'm left-handed!"But when I received Mia's call, I also left the site immediately to see you," Ero said without pause."This is nothing... just a small accident," I replied. I noticed Ero's eyebrows furrow and a hint of annoyance in his response, as if he was about to explode in anger."If it was just a small accident, why are you here in the hospital? Have you seen your hand? Why is it in a cast? Why didn't Manang Ameli

    "Kendall, break up with Jacobo. I swear, if you choose me over him, you won't regret a single thing. I am single and not married. I am all yours, you have no rival." But I guess Kendall is really a stubborn girl."Mom, I'm sure they don't see each other anymore. Dad must be busy with his work, and it's only six PM. Wait for him until seven. I'll call him for you, so stop worrying. Alright?" I told Mommy. Fortunately, she stopped crying and agreed to what I said. Sigh.Mommy is getting more stressed because of Kendall and Dad, and I really-really need to do something. The doctor said that it's bad for Mom's health to get stressed, and she should avoid it, but she can't help it because she always gets paranoid when Dad comes home late.I need to keep Kendall occupied, and if it means I have to be with her most of the time, then so be it. I know it sounds weird, but being with her feels so good. Damn. I think it's getting serious. I should hate her, right? She's Dad's mistress. She's a f

    "I don't know what I am missing for her to dislike me. I am good looking, and I am sure of that! I am also rich, and when I have my Dad's company, I'll be wealthier than her. I can give her everything that she wants and needs, no matter what it is—no matter how expensive, I will buy it for her, as long as she chooses me and doesn't run away just to be with Dad."Then, I gulped down the Jack Daniels I ordered. Instead of putting it in a shot glass, I drank it straight from the bottle. I want to get drunk to forget about Kendall. It's so f ucking weird. There's a painful feeling in my chest whenever I think about Kendall leaving me!"Dude, don't tell me you're attracted to your Dad's woman?" Liam suddenly asked me. I stopped drinking and met his gaze.Seriously?! I am attracted to Kendall? Hell no! I'm feeling like this because... uh—right! My ego is being stepped on! I'm hotter than Dad, for sure. I mean, look at me and Dad; I'm more masculine than him! It's just annoying because Kenda

    Urgh! I didn't know Kendall could also get on my nerves. How dare she say I have HIV, STDs, and other things just because I have multiple partners. Psh. It's not my fault that girls are pursuing me, okay?"You're just wasting your bras," I said to her as I stared at her chest. I smirked when I saw her cheeks turn red.She even crossed her arms over her chest, and I couldn't help but wickedly smile. Feeling uncomfortable? Well, you started it."You're only an A. Why wear a bra when you could go without one? Besides, you're flat-chested." And I burst out laughing.She called me a pervert, but seriously, she has to do her job now. I'm getting annoyed with the women who keep coming to the office, claiming that I impregnated them. Damn it! I'm a boy scout!Am I always attracting trouble? I can't understand why they're pinning their unborn children on me. I'm sure I'm not the only guy they've been with!But damn it! Kendall is really stubborn! It's hard to persuade her.

    "I love you too, Hon. Yes, I'll see you tomorrow. Don't worry, I told my wife that I have a dinner meeting, so she's not expecting me to be home later." Daddy nodded on the other end of the line."Alright. I can't wait to see you later. I love you. I'll hang up now." Daddy pocketed his phone. I don't know what to say. Seriously, I am f*cking speechless at the moment. Mom is right! Dad has a mistress!"Son?" Daddy called me. I composed myself as I faced him and pretended that I just arrived. "Have you been waiting long?" he asked. I immediately shook my head. I don't want him to know that I just found out about his dirty little secret."I just came. I'm here for this." I showed him the folder I was holding. He returned to his table and sat down. I approached him and casually placed the folder on his table. He furrowed his brows at my action."Sorry, it slipped from my hand," I said and shrugged. "Why didn't you just send it to your secretary?" he asked me. I couldn't help but wonder wh

    I quickly returned to my house to find out who arrived. Maybe it was one of Sydney or Kourtney's boyfriends? I wondered to myself. How sweet of them to come all the way to my house. Sigh.I couldn't help but feel envious again. I'm sure one of them is overjoyed right now because her beloved came to visit her, and of course, she's loved in return. True love, unlike what Ero and I had. I was the only one who truly loved.I entered the house and was surprised to see two tall men in suits and ties, looking like bodyguards.Wow, one of Kourtney or Sydney's boyfriends even has bodyguards. Is he that wealthy? Or is there someone who wants to harm him?"Kourt... Syd, who's our visitor?" I shouted from the entrance. It seemed like these bodyguards didn't care. They didn't even react when I shouted to call Kourtney.Kourtney and Sydney quickly came out of the kitchen. Kourtney had a glass of juice while Sydney carried a tray of snacks. Their reactions were incomprehensible. They seemed tense, a

    Kourtney paused in picking up my clothes and asked if Ero and I had a fight, to which I quickly shook my head."So what does this mean? You just... want to run away?" Sydney asked, still unsure. I nodded and was about to react when I raised my left hand to explain to them."Girls, I am such a b*tch for doing this, but you have to understand that I just fell in love." They raised their eyebrows at my statement. I knew they didn't fully grasp what I was saying, but thankfully, they remained silent. It would be harder to explain if they bombarded me with questions before I finished explaining."We all know that I was left behind. My mom and dad left me to be with their own families, and their spouses didn't want me. Luckily, you were there, so even though I didn't have my mom and dad, I wasn't that sad because I had you, until that day when I met Jacobo.""Who is Jacobo?" Sydney asked."Jacobo is my boyfriend... I meant, my ex-boyfriend.""What? How come we didn't know about him? And all

    "Mom just called and she wants me back at work tomorrow morning." Oh right, we've been overstaying here at the beach. Initially, we planned to stay until Sunday, but we extended it for two more days and one night because we got married here."We can go back now." I said to him as I caressed his back. I heard him sigh and then he faced me, gave me a peck, and touched our foreheads together."But..." He didn't continue what he was about to say, he avoided eye contact and pouted. I furrowed my brows. What's wrong? Why is my cute husband acting all cute? Woo! I can't help but feel kilig when I call him my husband.Until now, I still can't believe that Ero and I are married. I held both of his cheeks and faced him towards me."But what?" I asked him. He averted his gaze again, but I quickly caught his eyes. What's up with him? Oh my, this man! He's so big but acts so cute! Hmp!"We haven't made love yet." He whispered softly, but it was enough for me to hear, and I couldn't help but smile.

    "Oh, fine. Let's get serious then. What kind of assurance is it?" I asked him."Kendall, I want to keep you forever. Don't worry, I'll make you fall in love with me soonest. The kind of love that you can't even think of leaving me. The kind of love that will last even when death comes and keeps us apart. I want to prove to you that forever really exists."I instinctively covered my mouth with both hands and tears began to flow uncontrollably as Ero suddenly knelt in front of me, and the singer approached with a rose in hand.The guy who was playing the instrument earlier was holding a diamond ring this time. The diamond on it was so big that my eyes widened in surprise. I'm not exaggerating, but it's really huge."E-Ero, what if we get mugged? The diamond is so big," I said, trying to hold back my laughter, but he glared at me, and I immediately made a peace sign. I don't want Ero to devour me alive. Hehe."Oh, fine, let's get serious. What kind of assurance is it?" I asked him."Kend
