[ FIVE YEARS AGO]

Carmina was staring at the papers in front of her. One was the death certificate and the others were all her signed papers that consisted of her agreement with Thomas Mendez to never tell a single soul of their deal and her exclusive contract with Crown Entertainment.

Three hours had passed when she left the coffee shop but her mind was all clouded that she didn't know how she was able to go home safely.

She looked at her exclusive contract with Crown Entertainment. Everything that his lawyer said was stated there. All the benefits and privileges indicated that and it was enough to pull her up the ladder of stardom once she debuted as a singer.

Her career was already secure.

Her dream to be a famous singer was within her reach and all she had to do was wait for the go signal.

Carmina was dazed for a moment. Her heart was hammering in excitement as she could imagine herself in the limelight.

However, it was only a few seconds, for her eyes landed on the other pa

    After Thomas had finally left, Sebastian worriedly looked at Sandra as he immediately cupped her face. “Are you okay?” he asked softly. Sandra's eyes were blazing but the moment she met his worried gaze, it instantly softened which melted Sebastian's heart.“Don't worry..” she replied and plastered a gentle smile.The creases on Sebastian's forehead instantly smoothened as he gently caressed her cheeks using his thumbs. While his eyes held her tantalizing hazel orbs before gently kissing her forehead. Sandra smiled at his little gestures. Sebastian's existence alone gave her a sense of security that she never felt with anyone else before, not even with her overprotective father. “I'm sorry..” she muttered as she reached his face and rested her palm on his cheek. Her eyes glinted in sadness and pain while looking at Sebastian.Everything that her father had said was not true, however, she knew her fiancé would be extremely affected by it because he was very sensitive and vulnerabl

    Bammie's heart ached at the sight and quickly stood up and went to kneel in front of Levi. She then pulled him to her and lent her shoulder for him to cry on. No matter how great a man can hide his true feelings, finding a woman they truly love marrying another man and not them will instantly shake them and expose what they were hiding deep in their hearts. And Levi's mask fell down. The poor guy had been keeping it to himself for so long and trying to show a strong facade so that Sandra won't feel guilty for unconsciously hurting him. She had seen it all because she's been there in the corner, silently watching him as he was falling deeper and deeper in love with her best friend even though he knew it was impossible for her to reciprocate it. “You know, love is harsh when you give it to the wrong person..” she said as she caressed his back gently. Levi silently cried as his tears kept on falling nonstop, damping Bammie's shoulder but she didn't mind. “Sandra had been in love wi

    Chapter 115 | WarningSebastian was smiling from ear-to-ear as he watched Sandra sleeping soundly beside him while her arms were wrapped securely around him, on Sandra's bed. Both were lying under the thick bluish gray sheet without wearing anything like newborn babies. They did ‘it’ again and Sebastian couldn't help but giggled at the very fresh memory of what they had just did inside his head. “We're getting married next week..” Sebastian said hesitantly when Sandra started dragging him upstairs, going to the master's bedroom which was her bedroom. Her bedroom. Just thinking that he will stepping inside her bedroom made his blood pump up to his face and making his mind imagine crazy things that was not appropriate for someone who just entered his fiancée's house for the first time. On the other hand, Sandra was grinning mischievously. No traces of sadness and worries on her face any longer at all. Her mind were covered with all those nasty thoughts she wanted to do with his fi

    “Are you sure it's okay to just barge in without even waiting for the guard to let us inside?” Carmina queried worriedly as she trailed behind her. It was not her first time to visit Sandra's mansion, but it was her first time to go there with Bammie that's why she was surprised when Bammie just greeted the guard and walked past him straight inside the mansion. Since the two had already agreed that they were going to see Sandra to ask about her wedding dress, Carmina had no choice but to come back to Bammie's penthouse after lunch. However, she didn't expect to see Simon there, who was summoned by Bammie to report about everything that happened to his mission, in which the three of them ended up staying in the penthouse until late dinner. “I don't need anyone's permission to enter here because this is my home too,” Bammie sTated casually. Carmina halted her pace as she watched Bammie's back in surprise. “You mean, this is your shared property with Sandra?” she asked. Bammie brief

    “Breaking news! The royal couple are officially engaged!” the reporter said happily.And on the screen, a high definition photo of Jay Kim kneeling down and holding a velvet box with a huge diamond ring on it, in front of Sandra who was smiling while looking down on him. The two women were stunned as both of their eyes were fixed on the television screen. Bammie was the first to recover and narrowed her eyes on the photos. “That must be edited. There's no way Sandra would smile like that in front of Jay!” she hissed after judging the picture. “It looks too real..” Carmina murmured. She didn't know what to feel. Her heart was conflicted whether to be angry or not.The news then changed to a different topic but the two women remained silent. Until Sandra finally went down while her tiny hand tightly holding Sebastian's wrist who looked forced to come down and see them. “What's the matter?” Sandra asked upon sensing the weird atmosphere. Bammie quickly stood up and ran to her. “You

    Carmina's eyes widened upon hearing Bammie. But she guessed she was a good actress for her to easily mask her real feeling and put a smile on her face as she turned to look at the woman. “Are you serious about that?” she chuckled. The corner of Bammie's lips curved up as her eyes were glimmering while staring at Carmina. “Of course not,” she sneakered, “I'm just want to delay you from leaving”Carmina shook her head before quickly strode to the front door without looking back. Good thing, Bammie didn't like driving and they used her car to go there. That's why she smoothly left the mansion without a problem. Aside of course, to her feelings. She sighed in relief after hopping inside the passenger's seat, revved the engine of her car and successfully left the vicinity. Sandra's mansion was suddenly suffocating her. It was not her first time to visit there and all those times that she was there, she felt nothing but admiration of how sophisticated the outside and inside looked like.

    “What's wrong with Carmina?” Sebastian frowned after Carmina left the mansion. His gazes stayed on the front door with a deep creases on his forehead. “She seems off today,” he stated and then worriedly looked at Bammie, expecting her to say something. Sandra raised her eyebrows to her best friend when she caught her staring at the front door too with deep creases on her forehead, as if she was in deep thoughts. “Did something happen that you haven't tell me?” she asked. Bammie quickly shook her head and looked at her with a hesitant smile. Just because she can meddle with Sandra's life, thath doesn't mean it's she can do it as well with Carmina. Both were different because Sandra was her friend and a sister by heart, while she didn't have the same level of connection with Carmina. They part ways for years and she didn't know exactly what happened to her all those years. All she just knew was she suffered a lot and that's it. That's why she couldn't do say anything so impulsive

    “Brave?” Bammie scowled.When she saw Sandra nodded, she scoffed and rolled her eyes. “So what if he is brave though? He has a bad attitude, didn't respect your opinions and didn't really treat you right! He is so arrogant and selfish. That bravery is useless if all he could think about is himself!” Bammie clicked her tongue as she shook her head and stared at her best friend. “Does Uncle Thomas really want that kind of guy for you? I'm sorry for this, but seriously, is there something wrong in his head, Sandra?” she genuinely asked. Because she was sure Sandra's father aint blind to not see Jay's real attitude and how he was handling the matter everytime. And for someone who was overprotective with his daughter, her Uncle Thomas must be sick to choose that guy to trust his daughter to be with for the rest of her life. Sandra heaved a sigh but didn't say anything. That was also what she wanted to ask her father, because she as well couldn't understand what he wanted to happen. T

He couldn't believe her! “He even told me he loves me!” she continued cheerfully, not minding the fact that her husband's already flaming in anger with her story. Who wouldn't anyway? This wife's admirers didn't decrease even after their marriage and have four kids. She's already in her forties, yet men out there of any age continued fantasizing over her! Some even had the audacity to confess just like what she's telling him right at the moment, and it's making him really furious! “Of course I told him I wouldn't replace you with anyone else. Phoenix is the only one in this world,” she giggled. And just like that, like his old self who never fails to melt everytime she says the right words, he smiled widely, showing his gummy and pearly white teeth.

    “Before we start, I would like to thank you first for trusting us for this exclusive interview again, Sandra,” the host stated.Sandra flashed a smile, “Of course, this is my favorite show”“Really?” She nodded, “And I kinda owe you, too..”The host seemed surprised and she couldn't help but gaped at her. Meanwhile, Sandra chuckled as she watched the host looking at her, suddenly confused.“I found my love because of you,” she continued.Everyone, from the audience to the staff squealed at her words. Even the host herself couldn't hide her giddiness despite the confusion still registered on her face. However, someone from the side didn't look pleased and rather seemed pissed off over something no one could figure out why. “How?” the host asked excitedly.Sandra glanced on the side where Sebastian was silently standing. She then giggled at the sight of her husband looking very pissed off.“You interviewed him after my confession”“Oh.. so, you were watching back then?” “I told you,

    Shocked, confused, lost were all be seen in everyone's faces after that speech from Sandra Mendez. Their cameras even zoomed in on the piece of paper she was holding, then almost instantly, disbelief and bewilderment were then painted as their expression. “Sebastian Lee?” one queried, puzzled of who it was. Others gasped loudly upon hearing his name and those who were standing near the guy turned their heads on him and gave him an incredulous look. “He's Phoenix right?! His real name is Sebastian Lee!” another shouted. Sebastian felt nervous at the sudden attention he unexpectedly was receiving. His determination to go up on stage had instantly deteriorated when everyone was talking about him with full anticipation.“He's here!” another pointed the direction where Sebastian was.Fortunately, before anyone from the reporters and journalists could move, Sandra immediately caught their attention back on her once again. “I just like to clarify things," she said.

His heartbeat skipped its beat as his knees went jelly, making him suddenly kneeled down on the floor weakly. He heard the loud beeping from the other line which meant that the call ended by the other party. However, his hand vibrated right after which caught his attention back and snapped him out from being astonished. Reluctantly, he checked the screen and saw Bammie's name flashed on it. He quickly answered it in case it was Sandra but only to be disappointed when it was her best friend instead. “Come here faster at the Crown building,” she said, sounding in haste. Sebastian was about to ask why, but the call quickly ended, leaving him puzzled and annoyed. He stared at his phone with brows connected together and thought whether to go there or not. But since he was in denial that it was Sandra who apologized to him over the phone, he quickly

    News about the royal couple being married broke down and spread out so quickly, right after Jay Kim showed the marriage certificate on national television. Their fans celebrated like there was no tomorrow while some showed their dismay as they did like Phoenix more for their princess. Flashnews about them kept on coming here and there and nonstop articles were posted on the internet because the media were the first to celebrate the great news. Sandra sighed as she looked at Sebastian apologetically for she knew it was already exhausting for her husband to have never ending rumors about her. They were now in Sebastian's apartment, particularly in his room. Since Sandra was the hottest topic, they both decided to not go home to her mansion because they were certain that there's a lot of reporters waiting for her there for an exclusive interview. “Aren't you tired?” she queried as she wrapped her arms around her husband's waist. Sebastian shook his head and kissed his wife's forehead

    “Are you married?” Thomas straightforwardly asked in a low baritone voice that gave everyone goosebumps except for Sandra. The old man didn't bother to say any greetings, not even wait for Sandra to ask him why he was suddenly there and just went straight to the point and asked her about the news. Meanwhile, Sandra folded her arms across her chest as she equalled her father's murderous stares. She looked calm and seemed unbothered and not scared with the presence of the intimidating old man, most probably because she was as intimidating as him as well. “Yes,” she answered without any hesitation. Then the corner of her lips slowly lifted upward as her eyes sparkled brightly, “But not with Jay Kim,” she immediately corrected before her father could ask if Jay's paper was not fake.Simon, Carmina and Levi gasped loudly upon hearing Sandra's answer. They all then turned to Sebastian suspiciously and saw the guy bowing his head looking guilty while fidgeting with his fingers. Sandra hea

    Upon seeing Jamaica's unusual expression, everyone in the office felt nervous, especially when she mentioned ‘bad news’. There was just too much bad news that kept on coming for them. And hearing that there was more of it made them instantly panicked and thought of the worst because they all assumed that it came from Thomas Mendez. They all thought that it was indeed a suicide to go against the old man, since the day didn't even pass and they were already facing another problem. “That bad?” Sandra queried as she frowned at her assistant.She then glanced at Sebastian and mindlessly walked to his direction upon seeing the guy looking pale and not with himself. As she sat beside him, she grabbed his hand and entwined it with hers without saying anything as her focus went back to Jamaica.From the side, Jamaica nodded in response which made everyone get curious about the news she brought in. “What's the bad news?” asked Bammie, a little impatient. She was not in her best mood because

    Bammie and Levi's pictures immediately spread out in all social media sites, since it happened in public and everyone who was casually walking in the hallway that time grabbed their phones and captured the moment when the two decided to display their affection there. Minutes later, rumors about their relationship followed, as the reporters who were just in the auditorium nearby immediately got the report about the scene outside and took the opportunity for a juicy scoop. Which immediately stole the spotlight from what happened in the press conference. Meanwhile, Sandra quickly led them to her office upstairs when people started filing around them. And she also quickly called the security to usher the visitors from the auditorium outside because the press conference was already done to avoid them lurking around the building and coming to her office. “So.. care to explain?” she folded her hands while raising her eyebrows on Bammie. Meanwhile, Bammie rolled her eyes and scoffed. “Why

    Levi looked behind his shoulder as he noticed that Sandra was missing. His thick brows then furrowed upon seeing the woman was left behind there, immobile and stayed still on her spot while looking somewhere else. Following her line of vision, Levi's jaw instantly clenched when he caught a stranger hiding behind the huge plant decoration, in a nearby distance on the right corner of the hallway, holding a camera that was directed towards them and obviously taking pictures.His gaze then went back to Sandra and immediately, his thick eyebrows pulled together as he wondered why the camera was on them when the woman they were after was on the other side. Levi was about to just shrug it off when he thought that the stranger might've just mistook one of the two girls with him as Sandra. However, it would be impossible because the woman was slimmer than the other two. The creases on his forehead deepened as his eyes wandered to his companion, searching for the possible target of that stran
