For The Stars Have Sinned Chapter 28: At the hospital
"The next food ration is at twelve o'clock," he said. He placed the tray on the bedside table. "Do you need anything else?" he added.I shook my head and sighed. The wounds I got that night were painful even after I took painkillers. The nurse approached the bed and put a pillow on the headboard for me to lean on.I closed my eyes and asked. "Have you contacted my parents?""Not yet. But the department is trying to retrieve your cellphone data." He glanced at me for a moment. "You really don't memorize your parents' numbers?"I shook my head. But I stopped when I remembered something. "That friend of mine. I memorized his number.""Good." He picked up the pen and paper hanging at the foot of the bed. "Write the contact number and we'll tell your friend you're here.""Okay thank you."I accepted the paper and pen and wrote down Tiden's number. His number is the only thing I memorized on my contact list. Suddenly, I stopped writing for a moment. I missed Tiden who was so overprotective.
For The Stars Have Sinned Chapter 29: His care
My parents and the officer who questioned me talked for a while. I didn't inquire about what they had discussed because I was busy listening to Tiden's stories. I just smiled as he talked about his experiences lately, especially the preparation for their upcoming concert in Bohol.After a while, the officer approached us. My parents weren't with him so I think they were busy talking to the doctor. The man closed his eyes. "Many crimes have occurred in the paddy field in Baranggay Masulob-on. Just last night, the precinct received a report. Two women were raped."I looked down. The truth is that I don't know why the officer was talking about that but I breathed a sigh of relief knowing that the police knew what was going on in that area. Fortunately, I ran away from the covered court last night and didn't let the drunk men lay their hands on me. I may have become a victim of evil intentions."What are your plans for the place, Sir?" I asked and played with my fingers."We'll continue o

After that incident, Papa bought me a new phone. At first he was angry because when I needed the phone it was broken. If only my phone had worked that night, I would have called them. I just shrugged off Papa's sermon as he looked for a good phone that won't break easily.I stared at the new phone. I've changed phones for several times since I went to the dock. I sighed and looked at Mama again. I smiled stiffly and scratched the back of my neck. I don't know if she will be happy or not if I'll ask her to let me go visit Bohol."It'll only be two days, Ma. Besides, Tiden will be there," I said. Tiden has already informed my parents and I know that Mama only gave him her approval because he contacted them when I was lost in Oslob one night.She stared at me silently for a few seconds before looking away. "Did I agree?"I blinked. "What, Mom?"She sighed. "Don't forget that I'm still not willing to let you fangirl, Rishel. Even if we have money to buy concert tickets, it's still not go
For The Stars Have Sinned Chapter 31: Guy on the plane
How many times have I looked at my wristwatch? I've been waiting for CareLikeGoldFish for some time now but he still hasn't arrived. I sent a message earlier but up until now, still no reply. Why is that?"Eleven o'clock," I muttered under my breath.The plane's flight is one o'clock in the afternoon. I had ordered lunch and ate first. It's half past eleven and Levi's still not here.I kept looking around at the entrance of the fast food establishment inside the Airport, hoping to see a familiar face but still nothing. Five minutes before twelve noon and he's not around yet!I don't think that he'll show up anymore. I sighed. We talked about meet up at the airport and traveling together to Bohol, but it seems unlikely to happen. There might be an emergency so he failed to come on time? I tried hard to understand but there was still a part of me that was disappointed.My gaze cast down on my cellphone when it vibrated. There is a notification from the reading app. I opened it and my fa
For The Stars Have Sinned Chapter 32: Resort
It was dusk when I step in front of the resort. It's past five o'clock. The name of the place was engraved above the entrance. I entered and went to the reception to receive the key card for my booked room."West wing, Ma'am. Room 375. We have different deals for room service. You can browse for the services and other deals in full menu at your room. For assistance and other needs, you can contact our reception officer. Have a nice stay !"I smiled at him and accepted the key card he handed. The crew assisted me to the West Wing. I looked up at the three-story tall white building. I think there is even a rooftop above. At first glance, the building looks like a dormitory, except for the rectangular blue pool and row of brown pool chairs on its side.The crew brought me a clean regular hotel room. He bid goodbye as I went inside. I put the backpack down on the bed and looked at the single cabinet, white bed, and nightstand on the side of it. There is a bathroom door.Nice. Not grand bu
For The Stars Have Sinned Chapter 33: The chase
I silently put my attention back in front and pretended not to see him. What was he doing here? Suddenly, my mind wandered back to when he joked, 'See you there', when we're still in EGL. Looks like he did exactly what he said. But I thought he was just kidding me!Sighing, I tried hard to ignore his presence and put my mind at ease. Then I joined the other fans when they sing along. "I am drowning in your lifeless eyes, they meet mine. You captivated my soul. Oh, I am under your spell."And I yelled, "Vine! I love you!"I got drunk in their song. I spun around, jumping up and down. I headbanged and screamed at the top of my lungs. "Oh! I'm under your spell! I love you, Vine!""Why are you shouting so loud?" Lyndon asked suddenly, but because the music was so loud, I didn't hear what he said. So I ignored him and kept looking straight ahead. But he made his voice louder for me to hear. "Miss Larica!"The corner of my lips twitched. I th
For The Stars Have Sinned Chapter 34: Inside the court
I stayed inside the covered court because I thought Lyndon would not enter. But who I was kidding? It's foolish to think that he's restricted to enter the covered court. When I saw him entered while panting slightly, I walked away from the crowd so people wouldn't notice that he and I both knew each other. I saw from the corner of my eye how Ate Rosan, like what she did earlier, gave Lyndon a bottled water too and even invited him to the activity. If I hadn't begged Ate Rosan to let me stay earlier, I probably would have run outside as soon as I saw him walk into the court. But I can't just run away after I asked to stay, right?"I am the youth minister of our church," Ate Rosan said. She pointed a finger on the decorations around the place. "We will have an outreach program to the youth here in Tawala. It should start at seven o'clock but the worship team hasn't arrived yet."Lyndon nodded then glanced at me. I quickly looked away and pret
For The Stars Have Sinned Chapter 35: The letter
After saying goodbye to Ate Rosan, I quickly went out of that covered court. I didn't notice Lyndon following me. My feet halted when I heard footsteps behind me and when I turned around, I saw him following me.I frowned. Still not done with what he's trying to do?So I ran away but he chased after me! My jaw clenched and I thought about halting and waiting for him in an alley.I folded my arms. "Let's get it straight to the point. What are you getting at, Lyndon? I said I don't know what happened in that victimless crime, okay? No matter how many times you ask me, I'll always give the same answer!"He stopped in front of me. I couldn't read his thoughts because he kept staring at me with no emotion in his eyes. After a while, he sighed. "But all evidences are pointing at you, Rishell."I blinked, the corner of my lips twitching. "Maybe the gunshot that the two witnesses heard were fake." Then I stared at him. "Aling Pechay said tho

I didn't give him a chance to swear on me. I quickly ended the call. But as I expected, my world would not be quiet because I received calls one after another from my parents, Lyndon, Tiden, and unknown numbers whose owner I did not know.I sighed and turned off the phone. I don't want to entertain their questions right now. I was not being irresponsible but I was tired of explaining over and over again. I know that they won't stop until they hear what they want to hear from me. I just want to give my full attention to Klo who is happily looking around the ocean park.I decided to take him to the famous tourist spot in the city with his nanny who is following behind us. I didn't worry that someone might recognize me because I wore a mask and a bullcap. Also, the park is underwater so the dim neon light is what lits up the place. People won't see clearly my facial features."Mom, a dolphin!" Klo happily pointed at the big dolphin that was swimming abov

My eyes narrowed and quickly called Lyndon. "Have you seen the news?" I asked."Yes. I have already ordered my staff to take care of it. Don't worry."Huh. He can take it down but people will still gossip in social media. What's the difference? I sighed and was about to hang up when he asked. "Where's my son?"That's when I remembered what we talked about at the restaurant. My vision darkened and I quickly ended the call. Rishel, why did you forget?I thought the issue would subside after a few days but a week has passed but my face is still in the headlines. Even the issues that caused me to flee the country have once again surfaced in the media. They also didn't miss the gigs I did with Vine and my idol days back then.I suspected at first that there was a hand moving the media but my suspicion deepened when information about me and Rei suddenly appeared. No one knows publicly about the relationship I had with that man so I know s

There was silence, and Lyndon cleared his throat. "When did you find out?"I clenched my fists and smiled wryly at him. "My son got his looks from you. Am I that stupid to not suspect? Also, you're too good to be true. Still wanting to marry a ruined woman?" I chuckled. "But even if I noticed it too late, I still want to ask why did you deceive me? Why did you make me believe you didn't know who you were? You made me look stupid, Lyndon!"He stared at me for a few seconds before looking away. "Do you have evidence that he is my child?"My eyes darkened at his question and I quickly took out the DNA result inside my handbag. I threw it right in his face. "I came home to the country just to see the results of the DNA test in person. Still wanna deny the truth?"After he read what was written, he took down the result and looked at me again. My mood only got worse when he didn't even say a word. "What? Are you not going to say anything?"

"Rishel, is there a problem? Lyndon told me you're ignoring him." Mama's eyebrows met. "Tell me what's wrong."I looked at Mama for a moment before looking back at the laptop on the center table and typing away. "I'm just busy, Ma. I'll call him next time," I said.Mama sighed. "That's what you always say. If you and Lyndon have a problem, talk about it. The wedding is next week and the engagement party will be held tomorrow. How will you treat your future husband if you don't get along?"I stopped typing and looked up at Mama. "We don't have a problem, Ma. Don't worry, I'll call him tomorrow.""You should, Rishel. You have been engaged for several years and you should make your relationship public, otherwise the board members will question your engagement to Lyndon."But I'm not ready to be tied to that man. I already knew he was Klo's father and he was certainly the one who bedded me that night, but why did he hide that truth from
For The Stars Have Sinned Chapter 58: After five years
After five years.It was sunny and clear that morning when I stepped off the plane from another country. But my eyebrows met when I saw a familiar face."Kervy? What are you doing here?" I wondered.It's been five years since I flew to another country. Now that the media was quiet, I decided to go home quietly. I just never thought that the last person I expected to see would stand in front of me.He didn't answer but looked at the boy standing in by my side. My grip on Klo's hand tightened and Kervy's eyes narrowed."Mommy? Who is he?" Klo asked.I looked down at Klo and smiled softly. "An old friend." I turned my attention back to Kervy. "If you don't need anything else, we'll go first."I was about to pass him but he caught my wrist. Looking up at him, I couldn't utter a word. It's been a few years since I last saw him, but nothing has changed in his appearance except that he has become more mature looking.

He looked dark but I knew his anger was not directed at me so I was relieved. "Thank goodness you're here!" I cheerfully said and sat down.He attended to me quickly. "Let's go," he said and picked me up in his arms.I screamed in shock and looked at his face very close. My heart beat fast and both cheeks got hot. I looked away when he looked at me."Where are you going to take me?" I asked.I noticed that he was careful when he walked to the fire exit with me in his arms. After a while, we got out of the building and the fresh night air gently hit my face. The tension in both my shoulders disappeared and I leaned my head on Lyndon's shoulder."Thank you," I whispered softly."What did he do to you?" he asked."I just passed out for two days.""Two days?" Lyndon's aura grew darker. "Rishel, you've been missing for two weeks! I can't find you." His jaw clenched. "And I will know that you're in the hospital?"

"Let's go!" I struggled in his grip but he was too strong. I glared at the face I once admired but now hate. "I regret idolizing you, Levi! I hate you! I hate you to death!"He stopped for a moment and narrowed his eyes as he stared intently at my face. My face paled when he looked at me like that and I tried to look away. But he didn't let me and held my chin to raise my face. I saw the strange smile on his lips again. "Even if you hate me, it doesn't change the fact that you are mine, Rishel," he whispered to me.My insides trembled when I heard that. Maybe it's because of the way he looked at me like a hungry monster looking at his food. Just now he gave me that kind of look that made my cold sweat trickled my back.I took a deep breath and bravely met his gaze. "You shot Papa. Didn't your conscience hurt that you also did to Papa what you did to Ariel in that night? Or do you really have no conscience, Levi?" His eyebrows met at w

My heart skipped a beat at what he said. I looked at him dumbfounded as he said what he knew about the incident involving Papa."The authorities found out that someone shot your father while he was buying something at a grocery store. The suspect's face was not clear on the CCTV footage but there were witnesses who witnessed the day your father was shot. They are pointing to Levitus suspects."My lips formed a line and stared at him. Is what he says true? He's not deceiving me, right?When he noticed that I didn't believe him, his eyebrows met. "If you ask those witnesses, you'll know the truth."My fist is clenched. "Did you bribe them?""Are you doubting my intentions?" he asked and raised an eyebrow."Yes," I answered him.The corner of his lips twitched and he laughed. I stared at him until the smile disappeared from his lips. Lyndon's eyes narrowed and he pulled out a photograph. When I looked at it, I frowned.
For The Stars Have Sinned Chapter 54: Witness
We stayed in the hospital for a week. After Papa was hospitalized, I just heard that Rei was charged with murder. Because the police saw him lying blind near Gerard's body. The murder weapon was also retrieved from the crime scene where his fingerprints were confirmed.I know that Lyndon used his influence because Topzan Entertainment, the company that was supposed to save Rei, was slowly losing money. Now Rei is now an outlaw and is permanently banished to prison."Mayor of the city?" I whispered as my eyes narrowed.Lyndon investigated Rei's background and found out that the Mayor of the city nineteen years ago was the one who adopted Rei and raised him abroad. It turned out that Rei was the Mayor's illegitimate child so the case subsided because the Mayor covered up the crime Rei had committed."You are also a witness to that crime, Rishel." The edge of his lips curved. "I can't help but think criminals enjoy it when you watch their crimes
