FALLEN PROMISE CHAPTER 11 “FORBIDDEN DESIRES
Nestor's voice echoed with a mixture of anguish and frustration as he poured out his heart, "How can you say that, Carmela? What about me?"He sat alone in the humble hut, the silence around him punctuated only by the faint rustle of leaves outside. It had been more than a week since Carmela had departed Eldoria with Martin, leaving Nestor to grapple with his emotions and thoughts in solitude.Carmela's voice, filled with its own turmoil, responded from afar, "I'm struggling too, Nestor. But I hope you can understand the complexity of my situation and the sacrifices I've had to make for the sake of us and our child."The weight of her words hung heavily in the air, mingling with the uncertainty that clouded Nestor's mind. He couldn't help but wonder how they had reached this point, where their love seemed entangled in a web of challenges and sacrifices.Carmela's voice trembled with the weight of her struggle, her words echoing the depth of her pain. Nestor, in the solitude of th
FALLEN PROMISE CHAPTER 12 “FORBIDDEN DESIRE 2”
Within moments, the rhythmic symphony of Carmela’s alluring moans filled every corner of the cozy hut, drowning out the cacophony of thunderous roars and the relentless cascade of raindrops outside.Nestor’s senses were ablaze with heat, a fervor that seemed to ignite anew as if this were his initial conquest of Carmela’s being. With deliberate care, he had shed every layer of clothing that veiled her exquisite form, leaving her gloriously exposed to his hungry gaze. He stood there, unabashedly admiring her, his eyes tracing every curve and contour, his desire palpable in the intensity of his stare.Despite the profound love that he harbored for Carmela, the sight of her nakedness never failed to stir a primal hunger within him. Each time he beheld her beauty in its purest form, devoid of any coverings, his mind raced with a myriad of passionate scenarios, each more intimate and enticing than the last. It was as though every inch of her exposed skin whispered tantalizing invitations

Carmela showed no signs of resistance toward Nestor. Instead, she returned his passionate embrace with equal fervor. They did not stop, their bodies moving together in time with the heavy downpour outside. Amid the vast forest, they were free to express the heat of their desire for each other, especially his for her. He didn't know how long he could continue to wait for her. How long he could endure their secret relationship? But whenever he thought about the consequences of making their relationship public, fear gripped him. Carmela's every touch and kiss reassured him, but the thought of the potential fallout from their clandestine love always lingered at the back of his mind. He longed for a time when they wouldn't have to hide when he could openly claim her as his own without fear of reprisal or separation. As they lay entwined, with the rain serving as their only witness, Nestor's resolve wavered. He wanted nothing more than to stay in this moment forever, where the world

“Ohhhhh!” she moaned, her voice a symphony of pleasure that echoed through the small hut.Nestor didn’t let go of Carmela’s hips. He continued to guide their lovemaking, maneuvering her movements with practiced skill until, gradually, Carmela began to understand what he was showing her. Each motion was a testament to their deep connection, the rhythm of their bodies syncing perfectly.“Ohhhh… Nestor, it feels so good to be on top of you… Ummmmnnnn… Why did you wait so long to do this to me?” Her voice was filled with breathless wonder and uncontrolled passion, her eyes locked onto his with a mix of desire and affection.In those moments, Carmela took control, moving on top of him with a newfound confidence. Just as he had imagined earlier, she was a breathtaking sight as she gyrated above him. Her slender waist, moving rhythmically, and her beautifully proportioned breasts, firm and perfectly fitting his hands, captivated him completely.Nestor’s gaze was intense, filled with a
FALLEN PROMISE CHAPTER 15 “TWENTY-FIVE YEARS LATER”
The waves lapped gently against the shore as Clarissa sat on her favorite rock, a large boulder where she often sought refuge. She smiled as she gazed out at the seemingly endless expanse of water. Effortlessly, she lifted her beautiful tail, its color mirroring the sky. The gentle shimmer of her scales in the sunlight cast a dazzling array of colors, creating a mesmerizing spectacle that never failed to captivate her.This spot held a special place in Clarissa's heart. Ever since she transformed into a mermaid at the tender age of seven, she had frequented this place. The memory of that transformation was still vivid—how the waves had embraced her and the sea had claimed her as its own. This rocky outcrop became her sanctuary, a place where she could sit undisturbed, lost in her thoughts and the rhythm of the ocean.Clarissa cherished this spot. Ever since she became a mermaid at the tender age of seven, she frequently visited this place. She was immensely grateful for discovering
FALLEN PROMISE CHAPTER 16 "BITTER NOSTALGIA"
“Did you get full, my boy?” Victoria asked Lucas after they finished their meal.They were both on the terrace, enjoying the gentle breeze while sitting in their respective rocking chairs.“Very full, Mama,” her son replied.A kind smile crossed Victoria's lips. Then, as they often did, she and her son shared the peace of that place together, appreciating the calm and tranquility it offered.The view was stunning, with the sun beginning to set, casting a golden hue over the landscape. The air was fresh and invigorating, carrying the scent of blooming flowers from the garden below.“Mama, if I fall asleep, don’t wake me up,” Lucas said, yawning and stretching his arms.Victoria chuckled softly, her eyes twinkling with affection. “Don’t you want to sleep in your room?” she asked him gently.The young man let out a deep sigh before answering her question. “I’d rather stay here, Ma. The air is nice. When I wake up, Ma, make me my favorite coffee, okay?” Lucas requested affectionately, tur
FALLEN PROMISE CHAPTER 17 “NOSTALGIA 1”
Victoria chose to remain silent. She knew Nestor had more to say. She was sure of it."I'm not sure if I'm still the right person for you, Victoria," he said, his voice tinged with sorrow.Victoria felt the deep anguish in Nestor's voice. He wasn't looking at her, but she knew he was going through something heavy because the weight of his emotions was evident in every word he uttered. His eyes, normally so full of life, were now clouded with pain and uncertainty."I'm happy that Lucas came into your life, Victoria," the man said, turning to look at her with eyes that seemed to search her soul.He stared straight into her eyes and then spoke again. Honestly, in everything she saw now, even if the man said nothing, she would still understand what he wanted to convey to her. His gaze was intense, filled with a mixture of sadness and resignation."It's good because you'll have someone with you. Someone to take care of you when you grow old," he continued, surprising her with the unexpecte

“I’m not the right man for you, Victoria,” Nestor said, casting a sorrowful glance at her afterward.“No! That’s not true!” she firmly responded while desperately trying to calm Lucas, who had begun crying even louder.Nestor zipped his bag closed and slung it over his shoulder. “Take care of yourself, Victoria. I know Lucas will grow up to be a good person. As I told you, I’m glad he came into your life. I pray you’ll be fine,” he said before leaving her.Victoria’s sobbing intensified. As she held the baby close, it seemed he could sense and share the deep pain that felt like it was slowly killing her heart.“He left us, Lucas. Your father left us,” she said, wiping the tears from the baby’s small cheeks before hugging him tightly again.The pain she felt was overwhelming. She felt as if she were dying at that moment. She could feel a sharp blade slicing her heart into tiny pieces.The tears streaming down her cheeks were unstoppable. She looked at the handsome baby, who had now sto

FALLEN PROMISE EPILOGUE 5
Jessa was right. Clarissa’s death had broken the curse that had been placed upon her, the curse that had prevented her from living freely, from choosing her own path. Queen Marasela had the power to undo it, to restore Clarissa’s life and give her the opportunity to live as a human, free from the shadows of her past.The Queen knew that, deep within her, she had the ability to make that happen. But a new fear gripped her heart—if she brought Clarissa back, what guarantee was there that Victoria wouldn’t kill her again?As a human, Clarissa would be even more vulnerable to Victoria’s wrath. And if Clarissa died a second time, this time as a human, Marasela would never be able to bring her back again. The thought of losing Clarissa permanently was something she could not bear.“I will bring her back,” Queen Marasela said at last, her voice firm and steady, as she wiped away the last traces of her tears.Her gaze never wavered as she met Jessa’s eyes, and in that moment, it felt as if the
FALLEN PROMISE EPILOGUE 4
"SON?" Victoria's voice trembled with both relief and fear as she gently grasped her son's hand.Lucas had been in a coma for three long days, and the anxiety that had consumed her during that time was almost unbearable. She had stayed by his side, watching him, praying for his recovery, but the uncertainty had gnawed at her. Now, seeing him slowly open his eyes and blink at the harsh hospital lights, it felt like a weight had been lifted from her chest. She had feared losing him, but here he was, awake and breathing, a sign that perhaps the worst was over.Lucas’s voice was weak, barely a whisper, but the concern in his eyes was evident as he tried to focus on her. "M-Mama, how’s Clarissa? Is she okay?"His question struck her like a blow, and her heart faltered. Clarissa. The name hung in the air, filling the space between them with an unbearable silence. Victoria felt her throat tighten, her eyes welling up as she fought to control the flood of emotions threatening to overwhelm her
FALLEN PROMISE EPILOGUE 3
“MY SON must not see that mermaid again. I want you to kill her, Marlon!” Victoria's voice cut through the air with chilling command, her face contorted with fury.The words tumbled from her lips, each one a venomous strike aimed at the very heart of what she could not control. Her eyes, typically calm and calculating, were now wide with rage, the fire of her anger burning through her every word. This was no longer a mere request—it was an ultimatum.Her hands clenched around the steering wheel, knuckles pale from the force, as she glared at the man beside her. Every fiber of her being trembled with the thought of her son, the light of her life, being tainted by the mermaid, Clarissa. She would not—could not—allow such a thing to happen. The idea of losing her son to someone so foreign, so incomprehensible, drove her into a frenzy. No, this mermaid was an obstacle she was determined to eliminate.Victoria’s heart pounded in her chest, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts, but at its core
FALLEN PROMISE EPILOGUE 2
She had always longed for a connection with him, something pure and filled with love. But instead, all she had now were painful, fragmented memories of a man who had been driven by revenge rather than affection. The sobs wracked her body as the emotional turmoil threatened to swallow her whole.She felt as if everything she had known about her life had been a lie, and her father's absence in her world now felt like a deep, unhealable wound. The grief mixed with fury, and the sobs came harder, each one more desperate than the last.“That’s how cruel humans are, Clarissa,” Queen Marasela said softly, her voice filled with both sorrow and understanding. She gently took Clarissa’s trembling hand in her own, offering what little comfort she could in this moment of raw emotional turmoil. As the queen held her hand, there was a quiet strength in her touch, a silent reminder that even in the most heartbreaking moments, Clarissa was not entirely alone. Marasela's eyes glistened with compassio

“What is your relationship with that man from the human world, Clarissa?” Queen Marasela asked, her voice firm and tinged with a seriousness that demanded an honest answer. The weight of the queen’s question struck Clarissa like a tidal wave, leaving her breathless. Her heart pounded relentlessly, as if trying to escape the mounting tension in the room.But it wasn’t just the question itself that had her in turmoil. The piercing tone of authority in Queen Marasela’s voice and the unwavering intensity in her eyes as she locked gazes with Clarissa made it impossible for her to hide the truth any longer. For a moment, the room felt stiflingly silent, save for the sound of Clarissa’s quickened breaths. She could sense the weight of the queen’s expectations pressing down on her shoulders. Still, she hesitated, her lips parting as though to speak, only for her courage to falter. “I thought we had already reached an understanding long ago,” Queen Marasela continued, her words heavy with a

The sound of Clarissa’s voice was like a jolt to Lucas’s system. It made his heart leap in his chest, and for a moment, he was frozen. He had spent so many sleepless nights thinking about her, wondering if they would ever cross paths again. And now, here she was, walking toward him with a warm, familiar smile that seemed to light up everything around her. He felt a mix of relief and joy flood his chest as his eyes locked onto her form, drawing closer with every step.Without thinking, Lucas stood up from the large rock he had been sitting on, as if his body was reacting to the instinctive pull of her presence. His fingers subconsciously reached into his pocket, a nervous habit he hadn’t realized he’d picked up over the years, but he didn’t mind. His heart was pounding in his ears as he watched Clarissa move toward him, her graceful steps carrying her closer. He couldn’t tear his eyes away from her, unable to stop smiling as he took in the sight of her. She had changed, grown even mor

“NEXT WEEK, will you come back? Your grandfather will be arriving with Nanny Norma. I’ll be heading back to the mansion, and your daddy has to go to the clinic,” Carmela informed Clarissa later that same day, after breakfast had passed. The light from the late afternoon sun filtered in through the windows, casting a warm glow across the room. There was a calmness in the air, but Carmela’s words brought with them a ripple of change, signaling another shift in their already complicated lives.“Daddy is going to Manila?” Clarissa asked, her voice tinged with curiosity and a touch of sadness. The thought of her father being away, even for a short time, felt like another piece of her already fragmented world slipping out of reach. The house in Eldoria, while full of love and comfort, never quite felt the same without him close by.Carmela nodded, understanding the weight of her daughter’s unspoken emotions. “Don’t worry. It won’t be long before he moves here to Eldoria. We’re selling
FALLEN PROMISE CHAPTER 44: FIRST KISS 2
"IT'S GOOD you thought of visiting us, dear," Carmela said, her voice warm and gentle as she carefully combed her hair, the soft brush strokes providing a rhythmic comfort. Her words held the familiarity of a mother’s love, and though she was busy with her task, her gaze never strayed too far from Clarissa, the quiet concern in her eyes evident. She had always been attentive to the smallest changes in her daughter’s demeanor, and it wasn’t lost on her that something seemed different today. But she didn’t press; for now, she allowed Clarissa the space she needed.Clarissa smiled at her mother, her lips curving upward in a way that felt more automatic than genuine. She felt a deep warmth in her chest at Carmela’s words, but her thoughts were scattered, tangled in the emotions she had tried to suppress. As her mother’s gaze moved toward the mirror, Clarissa’s attention drifted to the vastness of the sea outside the window, its endless stretch of blue almost beckoning to her. She sta

PRESENT DAY A sweet smile spread across Jessa’s lips as she glanced at Clarissa. Her eyes sparkled with the hint of mischief, the kind that only someone as close as Jessa could manage. “Come on, Queen Marasela is looking for you,” she said, her voice light and teasing. Reaching out with a gentle but insistent hand, she tried to pull Clarissa along, guiding her through the cool, shimmering waters that lapped at the edges of the rocky shore. The water sparkled beneath the sun, and the air was thick with the sounds of the waves crashing gently against the rocks. It was the perfect moment for a peaceful stroll, yet Jessa’s impatience was palpable. But to Jessa’s surprise, Clarissa didn’t move. She remained seated on the large, smooth rock that jutted out from the water, her gaze fixed on the horizon. Her posture was still, as if she was lost in thought, caught in the depths of her own world. Her fingers lightly gripped the rock beside her, her knuckles white as she seemed to an
