"We are here," her driver told her. Rosa smiled and got down.
"Should I wait for you here or....."
"You can leave. I will find my way home," she said. Rosa was happy that she would be able to see Ethan that day. They are getting married soon and they will move into a villa, but for now, Ethan is living in a condominium. He said he liked it here since he's still living alone.
She punched in the password and entered the house. Ethan is a clean freak, and his apartment is always clean. There are two rooms in the apartment. One is his bedroom, and the other is his study room. His kitchen and dining area is an extension
Rosa hailed a cab after walking around for a while without any destination in mind. Everything seemed like a nightmare to her. She wished she could wake up from this terrible nightmare and find that it is all a dream. Rosa was brought up as an elite, a young lady of the upper class. No matter what happens, she is not to resort to drinking. If not, she would have looked for a bar and drank all her sorrow away. Thinking about everything that happened at Ethan's, her chest tightened.Why didn't she notice? How can her brother's friend she's known for so long and fell in love with could be a homosexual? How can this happen to her?As Rosa got down from the cab and walked into the house, she looked down, but she has not shed any tears. She wondered if she had been so impatient. Could it be a trick? Did she misunderstand something?No matter what it is, she will not cry over spilled milk. Nobody is worthy of my tears. Nobody is worthy to make me cry."Miss," th
Rosa dropped hints, and she knew Zenith would catch on. "That guy is not a straight guy? Does this mean he is gay?" Zenith asked carefully. Rosa kept quiet, and Zenith took it as a positive answer. Everyone at the table was shocked."What are you saying, Zenith?" Reina just couldn't believe it. "Rosa, what are you implying? This is the man you are about to get married to. Don't say nonsense," she said. To her, Ethan is already a perfect son. She finds it hard to believe that he is into homosexuality. "There must be a misunderstanding somewhere.""I saw him with his gay partner. I witnessed that jerk cheating on me with a man!" Rosa almost yelled but controlled herself. She would only yell if she still cared about him. She wouldn't care about him again. She is going to forget about him."If he knows he is into guys, why did he date you? He even proposed to you. How can he... Your marriage is even near..." Frank couldn't think of the possibility that Ethan is usin
Chapter 1: The reunionMia Quinn stood in front of the private room. She heaves a heavy sigh. She doesn't know if she should enter. Is she ready to face those people again? Students from her high school are people she wished could be erased from her history.She finally pushed the door opened and walked in."Oh the school belle is here", Someone said immediately after she entered. Mia did not know who he is. She did not relate much with her high schoolmates. About her being the school belle, that's just because she was made the school ambassador for her set because she is very brilliant. Mia's face is not a face that can be imprinted in one's mind. She could not be called a beauty but her facial features are clean and fresh. Though her face is not beautiful, she is not ugly.Someone sneered." Who knew you could attend a class reunion? I thought people like you will never attend reunions", the person said.Mia didn't want to come but she came anyway because that person called her that
Chapter 2: You have to help meShe noticed that she has stepped into the wrong room and turned to go out but she heard a voice."I'm sorry for doing this but you have to help me", The sexiest voice she's ever heard said.Hearing that hoarse voice Mia trembled. She became sober immediately. Soon someone hugged her from behind. Before she know it, she was thrown on the sofa in the room." What are you doing?", She asked.She couldn't see his face clearly since the room is not well-lighted."Just help me. I'm not usually like this but I have no option", the man said.Then he undoes her zip.Mia struggled but she is no match for the man on top of her.Waking up at dawn, she saw that she is the only one in the private room. She didn't even have a first time in a proper room. Mia teared up remembering what happened the previous night. The pervert that raped her must have fled. It was even better because Mia couldn't bear to face him. She quickly put on her dress which was ruffled from his t
Chapter 3: I don't want to stayMia threw up for the umpteenth time. She felt sick and weak. Her body ached and she could barely remain standing, holding up herself as she felt her inside turning and hurting almost as if she should throe up all she has eaten. Het body felt hot like she was burning from the inside."Mia, are you okay?", Grandma Quinn asked her, coming to sit beside her on the bed, while pressing her hand to her head before hissing at the hot temperature of her head." I feel strange, Grandma", she said before letting out a cough and siting up, her eyes drowsy ."Do you use contraceptives after that night?", her grandma asked.Mia blinked as she looked away trying ti remember the scenes from last night but a headache soon came and she hissed in pain before looking at the grandma." Contraceptive?", she asked.Mia's grandmother sighed before going to the curtains to pull it open and let in some air then coming back to sit beside Mia.She hoped it was not what she is thin

"Thanks for today seriously. I appreciate you"Yanis smiled."You are welcome, Mia. Call me if you need anything. I will always be there for you", he told her." Okay, I will. Thanks", Mia said.Yanis picked up the little one."Don't ever disturb your mother", he told him." I will not disturb mummy, uncle", the boy said.Yanis smiled and gave him a red packet."Welcome to B-city", he told him." Thanks for the gift uncle", the boy said and handed over the envelope to his mummy.Yanis entered his car and drove off.Mia turned to Chris."We are about to meet your godmother. You know her right?

It's nothing ", Yanis said.He turned to go and bumped into a nurse." Oops! Sorry", he told her."It's my fault", the lady said.Yanis find her features clean and beautiful. She is slender but had full breasts. Her nose is straight and her lips are full_so tempting." You're pretty", Yanis spouted."Pardon?", the lady said.Yanis broke out of his daze."I'm Yanis", he told her.The girl raised her brows as if asking why are you introducing yourself to me?" You work here, right? What's your name?", he asked her."I'm Dorothy", she replied."Dorothy, I will like to know you better. Can we exchange WhatsApp numbers?", he asked her."Dora", A nurse called." Coming ", Dorathy said and turn to Yanis." I got to work", She said and hurried away.Yanis stood there for a while watching her leave. He felt as if

Rosa decided to go to Ethan's place without informing him. She had gotten a chef at home to prepare a lot of dishes. They always meet on Sunday because Ethan said he's always busy with work. She wanted to see him, so she came that day. She is even planning to sleep over after telling them at home that she's sleeping at her friend Dawn's."We are here," her driver told her. Rosa smiled and got down."Should I wait for you here or.....""You can leave. I will find my way home," she said. Rosa was happy that she would be able to see Ethan that day.

"They watched as everybody discussed without involving them. After a while, Mr. Gordon finally said, 'What do you think, Joyce? You're not getting younger. Let's hold the wedding this year? What do you say?' Finally, someone is seeking their opinion."I think there is a misunderstanding here. Jerry and I are not what you think," Joyce told them. "What? This jerk refused to take responsibility?" Jerry's father asked."Responsibility for what?" Joyce wondered. "While the luncheon is on, the both of you sneaked out of the party. Do not be ashamed; it's youthful hormones," Grandpa Lloyd said. "Or are you trying to get pregnant before the wedding? That's a nice idea too," he said."No one's getting married. I don't even know Jerry until today. I have been hearing of the Gordons and that their heir is remarkable, but I don't know him. He had too much to drink, so I offered my bed to him. He only slept while I browsed through my phone.Really, that's what happen
Jerry felt out of place at the gathering. He was never a fan of such social events, but his father insisted that it would be good for him to network. He looked around the room, filled with affluent individuals and successful entrepreneurs, and felt a sense of unease.As his father introduced him to various people, Jerry tried his best to engage in polite conversations and put on a friendly demeanor. However, he couldn't shake off the feeling of being an outsider in this world of high society."Jerry, this is Mr. Smith, one of our old family friends," his father said, introducing him to an older gentleman dressed in an expensive suit."Nice to meet you, Mr. Smith," Jerry said, offering a handshake."Ah, you must be Jerry Gordon, the young doctor. Your father talks very highly of you," Mr. Smith replied with a smile.Jerry nodded and forced a smile. He was used to receiving compliments about his achievements, but at this moment, he couldn't help but
Scarlet was very satisfied, and she felt as if that day had the best atmosphere as she walked side by side, fingers intertwined with Zander."I'm happy," she told him."Stay happy, darling," he told her.Scarlett smiled. "Is today going to count as our first date?" she asked him."Whatever you say," he replied."Let's go on a date next Sunday too. You are always busy on weekdays," she told him."Actually, we are going abroad to shoot our movie. We are leaving on Tuesday," he told her.Scarlett mouthed 'oh.'"How long will the shooting take?" she asked."We are just shooting some few scenes, so it should take us three weeks at most," he replied.Scarlett sighed. Three weeks is a lot."Oh... OK," she said.Zander stopped. "Why? Will you miss me? Is that why you are sad?"Scarlett huffed. "Who said I'm sad? Can I come with you?" she asked him."I wish, but the crew will be so busy over the
Rosa's engagement went well, and the two families chose a date for the wedding ceremony in two months' time. Rosalind is very happy, as her dream is finally coming true. Ethan told her he would handle the invitation cards, and they are going to a designer's place during the weekend to get their dresses ready. Zenith had promised to pay for the event center they will use and also for the decorations. Ethan's family said they would handle the catering and drinks. Rosa had invited a popular anchor man to host her wedding, and she is really enjoying the preparation process.Scarlett had asked Zander to go on a picnic with her. She sat in front of her vanity table and sighed as she applied her skincare. She hoped this day would be as memorable as she wanted it to be. She applied a little makeup on her face and walked into her closet, looking for the perfect outfit. She decided on a peach-colored dress, put it on, and smiled as she checked herself out in the mirror."Have a
"Rosa, let's get married," he told her. Rosa's eyes widened. Is she having an ear problem now? What is it that she just heard? "What?" she asked."I know I've not been really good to you. I know I'm not really worthy of you. After all, you are the princess of the Baxtar clan. But still, I hope you could give me a chance to take responsibility for you all my life," he paused and brought out a small box from his inner pocket."Marry me, Rosalind," he told her as he opened the box. In the box was a diamond ring.The diamond on the ring was big. Rosa couldn't explain her feelings at the moment. She thought he wanted to break up with her. She thought everything was ending today. Who knew it was just starting? She was simply short of words. She didn't know what to say."Say something, Rosa," Ethan urged her. He looked anxious. He looked as if her response matters a lot to him. Has she been really thinking too much? Could it be that Ethan really cared for her? "
Dora woke up and walked out of her room, rubbing her eyes. She wondered if Yanis had left, but when she saw him sprawled on the sofa, working on his laptop, she knew he was still there."You're awake?" he asked, turning to look at her."Hun, I'm sorry I slept off," she told him.Yanis shook his head. "You don't have to apologize. Go dress up. Let's eat out. I will take you to a fancy restaurant. It will be so romantic," he said."Hurry," he told her.Dora nodded and walked back into her room. She searched her tiny closet and finally put on a simple gown."You look so good in a gown," he told her."I know," she replied."Hope you haven't booked any restaurant?" Dora asked him."I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in eating in a five or seven-star restaurant. Street food will always be the best. Let's try as many street foods as we can today," she told him, her face sparkling."What?" Yanis didn't know if he heard it
