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

I know a lot of women who love to get involved in life with life, but only now have I met a man who is not only nosy but also weird and rude.My gaze cast down on my wristwatch. It is three o’clock in the afternoon. Dad is not in the office yet and the man who is sitting in the visitor’s lair has no plans to leave.Earlier I was standing beside the water dispenser near the door. I didn’t want to go near Papa’s big table because in front of it was sitting the weird man who had been glaring at me since I got inside the office.How can I get rid of him?I look at the window. There is a bonsai pot there. If I slap him in the face with it, will he excuse himself? When I looked at the large wooden table, I saw a large binder. Such a perfect thing for smacking his face full of resentment in the world. It’s been a while since I’ve had someone glare at me.“Do you need something other than falsely accusing me of a victimless crime?” I asked him.It was only at that moment he averted his gaze.

Many people believe you’ll see your dream when you are at death’s door, and I think it’s true. If only my dream hadn’t kicked me awake.My eyes widened as I slowly sank under the warm water. It’s dark. There was no light around except for the light above. I quickly swam towards the light and poked my head above the salt water.Shocks. Why did I see Levi’s deep eyes and thin lips under the water?I almost kissed him but he suddenly kicked me away. Tapping my forehead, I sighed. Well Rishel, if you’re gonna daydream please make Levi a little romantic, okay?Suddenly, a shrill female voice shouted from above the dock. “Levi! What are you doing there? Come back, we’re late!”I looked up at the dock and saw a beautiful woman who looked like Nicole, the only girl member of the Vine. She was wearing a summer hat on her head and a blue dress that was swaying with the afternoon breeze. Just by standing there, one will know that the girl’s elegant and sophisticated. So unlike me who’s swimming

I pursed my lips and took a step back to Larica’s shipyard just a few meters away from the private dock. Lyndon was just following behind and I had no plans to talk to him. I was thankful that he was silent even though it was awkward.When the wind blew, I hugged myself. The coolness of the breeze at dusk is not for nothing, but he placed a warm jacket around my shoulder and my teeth stopped chattering instantly. I simply turned to the side and saw the side view of his face.The sun was setting in the west and the soft rays touched the tip of his nose. From the angle I could see, it was as if the dim rays of the sun painted Lyndon’s face, tracing his side profile which made him look ethereal.I looked away and sighed. He has the looks but the attitude… err nevermind.A few minutes later, I took a step into the shipyard. Here is the place where ships used for sailing are repaired.It was one of Larica Shipment’s properties and it is not far from the shipping port where the center of bu

The hair on the back of my neck rose and I quickly stepped out of the dock. But suddenly I stumbled. I screamed and stood up shaking. I quickened my pace. My trembling only subsided when my feet hit the ground.I bit my lower lip and glanced at the dock. No one was there. But who spoke earlier? I hugged myself.Since that night in Boljoon two months ago, I have been hearing something. At first, I didn’t pay attention but now and then I was suddenly terrified especially since I could feel the eyes following my every move. These past few days I haven’t felt anything strange so I’m relieved, but when I heard that voice on the dock… I couldn’t help but think that my fear of that night still hasn’t gone away.Whatever mystery was wrapped in that voice, I didn’t think about it. I quickly straightened myself up and ran back to the Larica building. I waited quietly for the family driver while looking at the full moon in the sky.~~~It was eleven o’clock at night when I got home from the city

The next day, Gerard drove me to Argao. I told Papa that there was no need but he didn’t listen. I snorted. It’s better to take a jeep to the University.I leaned my head on the headrest and folded my arms, looking out the window. The surroundings are still dark and the wind’s chilly against my bare skin. It was dawn and the cold was keeping me awake.“Miss, did you bring the one in the back?” Gerard asked.I glanced at him for a moment before looking back outside the window. “Is there a problem?”“Nothing, Miss.” He closed his eyes for a moment before snorting. “I’ve noticed these past few days that you don’t bring anything heavy to University. It’s just surprising now.”My brows raised as my eyes squinted. “Don’t worry about it anymore, okay?”I then blinked and folded my arms. A few minutes later, the car passed the crime scene. I saw the yellow cross line on the main road of Arbor. I bit my lower lip.It’s been two months since the rumored crime took place in Baranggay Arbor. They

The glass window of the car rolled down and I saw the face of Lyndon, that good Engineer who likes to accuse people around and Papa’s business partner. I sighed for the nth times and nodded, agreeing to him half-heartedly. “I know, I know,” I said and frowned. He’s been talking about how it’s not safe to travel alone, and I can still hear him talk about it even when we almost reach the port. It’s just annoying. I’m not a kid anymore but why does he always scold me? I know his point and I understand it, but I just let him blabber because his car was about to reach the Larica building. I leaned forward on the back of the passenger seat and looked out the windshield. The car turns to Pier 3 and turns to gate 5, where Pier 1 is. Until now, I didn’t understand why the numbering of the piers and gates was reversed. I think it just exactly only at Pier 3, eh? “The renovation will start next week. In the meantime, don’t visit the Port,” Lyndon said suddenly, cutting my thoughts. I looked

He raised his eyebrows at what I said. After a while, the corner of his lips twitched and he laughed. “We’ll see, Rishel… We’ll see,” he said before walking away. I clenched my fists and glared at the bird flying over the waves. The bird turned to me and broke its wing. The bird cried before it dived under the waves. And I was supposedly sympathetic to that little thing but I couldn’t. I still thought of Lyndon’s words about the prior murder case in Argao because I was there. I AM CURRENTLY reading CareLikeGoldFish’s work. The book is a mystery-thriller and even without romance, I couldn’t stop reading it whole because the scenes are so familiar, it’s like I’ve seen them before. Just like the scene where the main character shot his friend. It’s the same as what I saw there in Boljoon two months ago. WiFi suddenly died. I blinked and came out of the room with a dark expression. I was about to go straight to the kitchen because I knew Mama was the one with the plan, but suddenly I he

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
