Everyone finished monitoring each class they are expected to watch. Although there is CCTV to ensure that students would not roam around or that no boys and girls sneak into each other's room, still the teachers are bound to monitor the students every five hours. Meanwhile, Serina was waiting for everyone to sleep, so she could sneak into Vincaster's room and leave once done her business with him.
"How about we open a forum of what we hate and like with each other?" suggested one of Serina's colleagues.
"Noooo!" Serina stood up but soon realized how she made herself sound crazy. "I mean no problem. It's a good idea," she added while laughing like a stuck radio, followed by clapping hands.
'D*mn! Why won't they sleep already? For Pete's sake, it's past 12 already,' says her m
Psyche was relieved when the sequence of events reverted, despite the switching of luggage incident. As of the moment, she is enjoying the sight of a pale foamy orange sky that sets the horizon boundary on the ocean. She was watching the youthful smile of students who were enjoying the last day at the resort/campsite. Psyche seated beside her while on a video call with Daniel. Serina simply peeked at the screen and smiled. Later on, Gregory approached them with a fresh buko juice. "Move a little," says Psyche, preventing Gregory from occupying the spare space beside Serina. "What are you guys doing during October break?" Serina suddenly remembered that she had to appear with her husband for Aunt.
Serina sighed and told herself, 'I'm so fragile. In the past and present, he's still the walking red flag, yet here I am, melted with just a pitiful look from him.'"This is why I died," she whispered, but Vincaster failed to hear it because a roaring sound interrupted."Let's get out of here first," Vincaster says while extending his hands, but Serina turns her back and starts to walk away."I'm sorry. If you got mad because of what I did. How do I make it up to you?" he asked, following his wife's footsteps."Stay away from me and shut your mouth," she replied and failed to notice a tweak in the ground."Watch out!" Vincaster extended his arm to prevent S
He lay beside her only to stare. However, something must have possessed him to kiss his wife's cheek."Hmmm..." Serina made a sound that brought Vincaster back to reality.“Don’t get mad I did not touch you anywhere. I didn’t do anything yet….” he replied, accompanied by raising his hand as if he was being raided and left with the last resort to confess.He felt relieved when it turned out that Serina was still in deep sleep. He massaged his forehead while murmuring, "I should be ashamed of myself for almost taking advantage of her. Just what exactly am I doing? She’s asleep for Pete's sake. I’m trash.”Vincaster knew he wasn't drunk nor had taken an aphrodisiac, but
"I am not paralyzed, just so you know. No need to feed me. It's my feet that are in pain.""The doctor is on his way, so please bear with for a moment."Suddenly, Savina knocked on their door to tell them that the doctor had arrived."Good evening, caster. What happened to your wife?""She sprained her ankle," says Vincaster."Let me see your feet, Hija."The doctor simply touched and massaged her ankle to check whether there was a severe fracture or tearing of ligaments, and he said, "The amount of time it will take to heal your sprained ankle depends upon the degree of the sprain. Fortunate
Serina's fever vanished after four days and her ankle healed after a week. Her family including her husband always watched her and stopped her from moving, thus she's been in bed for one week. During those days Vincaster was there to give her a basin of water mixed with alcohol to clean herself and turned his back once he placed Serina's clothes on top of the bedside table.They pretty much have a civil conversation, it was hard to determine if they are still not on good terms or they have reconciled, but Vincaster was content at least his wife is not angry compared to these past few days.She's now packing things to return to their unit, but Gregory suddenly beeped her phone, so she answered it while Vincaster was not around."I heard you were sick. I wanted to visit you...
“Are you sure you’re still coming to school? With that look, you might faint any moment by now.”“Yes, it's the first day of resuming class after Halloween week.”“I understand that you were dedicated to teaching, and you love your job so much. Don't you think you should extend your rest since it was only yesterday when you got back in shape?""If you have a lot to say, then I'll go book a grab instead of arguing with you.""Fine, let's go.""Tsk! You are a CEO which is why attending to your work is all up to you, but it's not the case for me," says Serina as they head inside the elevator.
Vincaster placed the telephone's handset back on his ear and listened to what the person on the other line would say. He wanted to confirm something."Hello. It has been fifteen years since we've last heard about each other," says the woman on the other line."Hillary?""I'm glad you still recognize my voice.""Who wouldn't recognize someone who used to be my stalker," he said."Correction... I was also your ex-girlfriend."Vincaster zipped his mouth and did not retract because it was partially true. He cleared his throat and replied, "What do you need? Why are you contacting me now, after al
Serina opened her eyes and found herself bathed in her own blood, then a blurred face of a guy caressed her cheeks. Suddenly, a voice from a light touched her soul, and it uttered, "Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."Then, a sudden outburst of light blinded her, and she was awoken by the excruciating pain shed on her lining. Meanwhile, Vincaster slammed the door when he heard her bawling in tears and a faint sound of pain,Despite feeling weak, Serina stood up and opened the door halfway, then she asked, "Are you trying to ruin the door?"Vincaster was surprised to see his wife looking pale as sn
Psyche and Serina decided to study again for a master's degree as soon as their children turned two years of age. They are now celebrating their achievement on the lawn and garden of Liverteo's manor. Serina and Vincaster buy a bigger house with a wide lawn and garden because they want to build a playground and tree house for Vera, and hopefully, if there's another blessing to add to their family tree. "Congratulations on getting the degree, wifey." Vincaster kissed his wife's cheek. "Also, congrats to you Psyche," he added. "Congrats, Honey." Daniel kissed Psyche's lips, which made the Liverteo cringe, and they said in chorus, "The kids are watching." "They are busy playing, so kissing on lips is fine." Psy
Serina woke up feeling annoyed with her husband. She even hated the smell of the food he had cooked for her. “What’s the occasion? Why are there so many disgusting foods?” she asked. “You look thin, so I wanted to feed you,” he replied as he pulled a chair and helped his wife to occupy the seat. Well, it was true, she did not gain much weight compared to some pregnant women who usually gain a lot during their pregnancy. Maybe because she became a picky eater, which she had never done before. And, she suspected that the baby is likely to have inherited such a trait from his fussy dad. “It’s because I’m so stressed seeing you every day. Anyway, what’s the point of gaining weight?” she replied while scrutinizin
"Sister, didn't you just celebrate your first wedding anniversary last April, so why are you getting married again?" "Well, your sister promised that we will have a double wedding," Psyche interrupted. "I see. I also want to have a double wedding with my first bestfriend," says Savinah. "You're too young to get married! Mom, watch over this kid, she's blabbering about marriage," she scolded her younger sister but the latter only rolled her eyes. Then, Samira and Saniah only laughed. "Duh, I didn't say I am going to marry at this age," Savinah retracted. Serina was about to respond, but the bridal car had arrived already.
Serina was decluttering things along with Vincaster's wheelchair because he no longer needed it. Those things that they no longer used were stored in Serina's room. After all, it was unoccupied since she agreed to share a room with her husband two months ago because it is easier to tend to his needs if she's near him. Moreover, she had confessed her feelings to him, and there was no need to disclose what had happened after the confession; even a man with a cast on his right leg can still warm a bed. Vincaster was in the office, and Serina has no classes today because the school calendar is yet to start. She was kind of nervous about the school opening this August. Her husband told her that they should make a public appearance as a couple to clear the rumor of her being a mistress. Although such a topic had died eventually, still, they need to make it clear.
The sun cast shadows on worn gray stones, filtering through green tree leaves, bright yellow flowers pushing up through thick grass. One can hear the wind rustling leaves of nearby trees that defy the silent atmosphere, as there are no other people around the vast grassy area of Royale Y cemetery, aside from Serina and her company. Serina wore a white above-the-knee dress and paired it with white heels. She brought a bouquet with her, which she placed on the ground. Then, she scented a candle and prayed for the person lying six feet below the ground. She stared at the sky and watched the clouds move in a clear blue sky. "I hope you are at peace wherever you are," says Serina as she caresses the tomb with the words 'Rest in peace' engraved on it. Daniel patted her
Serina didn't know why she was standing in front of the door, holding her phone. She was back from the seminar only to realize that her feet brought her in front of the hotel room where she saw Vincaster with Hillary."What the hell am I doing here?" she asked while holding the doorknob of the hotel. Suddenly, a cold wind blew hard, along with a voice that said, 'it's about time'.Then, the next thing she knew was, her hand had opened the room. She witnessed the same picture from the past, whereas Vincaster was with Hillary, covered with a blanket from neck to toe.In the back of Serina's mind was cursing whatever force that brought to go to this place. It might sound insane, but she momentarily lost control of herself. Indeed there are truly unexplainable things that
Serina heaved a heavy breath while holding the printed copy of the petition to dissolve her matrimony with Vincaster."I have a week or so. I must live because my family needs you. I can't perish at this point, everything was fine in myfamily. I have a loving family who will grieve for my death, so stay focused on my goal," she said while walking back and forth.She kept walking back and forth while keeping the time in check. She was waiting for the hands of the clock to point to 23:00. Then, the moment she had been waiting has now come to the floor."Why are you still awake?"She didn't reply with words, instead, a paper did its part to tell what she wanted to say.
Vincaster finds it hard to sleep because of the stress brought by his wife, and he also could not sleep due to a wounded heart when she mentioned the divorce. Then, Chairman Vincreste's drastic deteriorating health had added rock to his head.He thought that if only his wealth could buy another year or so, to extend his grandfather's life, he would have purchased it by now.Vincaster closed his eyes and recalled the last conversation with the patriarch.~My wish is already fulfilled. I can now rest in peace, but remember to visit my tomb during my death anniversary. I will haunt you and your wife if you forsake my rested soul.~"I love her but I can't force love at all. Then, will you haunt Serina if she were
Serina was confused about why most students and even teachers were looking at her. Some of these people are even whispering among themselves. She went to the bathroom to see if there was something on her face.She's about to leave the restroom when she hears two teachers talking to each other, and they mention Serina'a name in their conversation. Instead of leaving, she hid in the last cubicle."You know Ms. Alpheus, right?" says Roxanne."Yeah, that girl who was always with Gregory?" Dionne replied."Guess who is with the CEO after new years eve." Roxanne flaunted a mischievous smile while swaying her eyebrow."You don't mean..." Dionne gasped, and she eve
