Lalaine thought her lips would be crushed by Vincent's violent kiss on her."H-Hey, V-Vincent! What's wrong with you?!"She poured all her strength to push the man away."Why, Laila? Do you like that Roman more than me?! You said that you are just using him to get close to me! Why do I see you behaving differently now?! You made me feel that you're just telling an untruth!""Can you blame me, Vincent?! Roman is a good person! He's not hard to love, he doesn't have so many issues unlike you!"The expression on the man's face firmed up."So, you actually love him? Then, what? Are you heading to neglect me?""What am I to you, Vincent?" she asked the man dauntlessly. There was a piece of her heart that yearned to know the answer to that question but Vincent cannot respond."I've asked you this before but I would like to ask it again. I'm expecting that you already have an answer now. Do you still love me?"Vincent looked away as he fondled his detailed jaw."What kind of drama is that,
Roman was standing alone on the veranda of the mansion where his sister and his husband live. He had the bitter wine with him as he thought back to what he heard last night. Lalaine and Vincent talking about something in the kitchen that shocked him.He woke up without the woman by his side so he went down to check on her but he never thought that he would discover a dark secret between the two.Lalaine put shit on his head. He was hurt to hear that she only took advantage of him to get close to her other man again.He was confused by what he listened to. If Vincent is her ex-boyfriend, who is the man named Tristan whom she has seen and spoken to in person who introduced himself as the father of his girlfriend's dead child?He believes that Lalaine was an easy-to-get woman. How many more men did she have? In fact, she is the one who did the move to become close to him. She flirted with him first. It is apparent that she did the same to other men.The bitter taste of wine ran down his
Lalaine couldn't stay still when Roman came out of the washroom. She doesn't know how to get her boyfriend to sleep fast."Are you going to take a bath too, Babe?" Roman asked while wiping his wet hair with a bath towel. Only the towel wrapped around his waist serves as a veil for his body."Later, Babe. I'm still weary. Anyway, do you want anything to drink? Like coffee, milk, or juice?"Lalaine plans to sprinkle pulverized sleeping pills on her lover's drink again."No, thanks. I'd rather try if our bed is still strong," he grinned mischievously at Lalaine.Lalaine suddenly got anxious. A different person was in front of her now. Roman wasn't like this. She is the one who frequently teases Roman, but now he is the one who initiated something to happen between them."I-I haven't showered yet, Babe," she excused.There's nothing that should happen to them now. Roman has the power of a buffalo so it's sure to beat her up again when their bodies combine. Vincent is waiting for her, she
"Oh, why? I'm just specifically telling you what happened, brother-in-law. Why do I sense you want to whack me in the face?"Roman purposefully taunted the man. The moment his fist reached his face, he would make sure Vincent had a place in hell.But his grin faded when Vincent grinned back. He grabbed his shoulder and then gently squeezed it."Don't drive me envious, brother-in-law. You know I've been vacant for weeks because I'm afraid to touch your sister. I don't want anything bad happens to our child."Is it the logic why he touched his girlfriend? Not a valid reason."Is that so?" he spoke out but in his gut, he felt hostility toward what he was doing.He vacated that vacant room and then proceeded straight back to their room. Roman's fist clenched as he watched over his retreating back with his furious eyes.Vincent paid back to their room and he saw Romana was already awake. Presently, Romana noticed her husband's annoyed face. It can even beat the vinegar model with his very
"I'm here!" Lalaine was wearing a broad smile when she returned home.No one responded so her smile vanished."Where did that old woman go?"She inspected the kitchen but Romana wasn't there."Sissy Romana?" She proceeded up to Romana's space on the second floor to look for her there but no one answered so she turned the knob of the door.It's unlocked. She entered freely."Sissy Romana?" Still, she didn't get any answer. No one else is there."Where is she?" She was about to leave the room but the sound of the running water from the lavatory stopped her."Are you there, Sissy Romana?" The woman didn't talk back. Forcedly, she knocked on the restroom door but there was still no response.Something was not right so she pushed the door even without the woman's authorization.Lalaine's eyes enlarged when she saw Romana unconscious on the floor of the shower room. Her face is pale and cold. The woman was unclothed and maybe fell while taking a bath."Sissy Romana!" she cried out as she ra
Lalaine convinced Romana of her falsehoods."Alright. Don't worry, this won't reach my brother, but make sure you're not cheating on him. If I find out you're doing something awful with another man, I'll put you and your man in the pit myself. Do we understand each other?"Romana has no idea that the man who sleeps next to her every night is the man who is her brother's rival with Lalaine."I'll shoot myself in the head if you catch me with another man," she confidently replied.In the end, Romana gets over what happened. She took the photograph from Lalaine's hand and then tore it into small pieces."So Roman won't see it again," she said.In Roman's company, a man was standing in front of it. He was wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a facemask that was obviously hiding his face. He was about to enter the building but the security guard prevented him."Sorry, but you are not allowed to enter, Sir. Unless you can show your I.D. card."The guard's hunch was not good with his look
Roman raised his forehead. He decided to tell his sister the truth and was prepared for whatever the consequences might be."You heard it right, Romana. That girl and your husband are sneaking around every time we turn our backs! Those two have been cheating on us for a long time!"Her gaze turned to Lalaine. She was still on the ground and looked like a gentle sheep looking up at him."I-Is it true that you and Vincent have an affair?"There is no point denying what they did so, Lalaine nodded slowly."S-Sorry, R-Romana. I-I don't want to fool you two," she tried to wash her hands. There is a possibility that she can round their heads again.The sound of a loud slap echoed around again. Lalaine's face turned sideways due to the force of Romana's slap. Her face was numb because of what Romana did.Roman looked away. He was sorry for her but it is her fault so he has no intention of stopping his sister."You didn't want to but you did? I thought we were okay?! We talked, didn't we?!"L
Lalaine is ready to finish off the life of the woman who is the root of all her misery. Her outrage will just vanish if she sees Romana swimming in her own blood."Call all the Saints you know because this is the last day you'll see the world!"Roman clutched her sister tightly."H-Have mercy, Lalaine. H-Have mercy on the angel in her womb!""Mercy? Did they feel sorry for me then? No! Their lust prevailed more than sympathy! So, what reason do I have to feel sorry for that whore, huh?! Give me an excuse that can fix my mind!""Because you're a fair person, Lalaine! Your wrath just swallowed you up! That's why you became like that! Please, Lalaine . . . Let's just pass it on to a good conversation," Roman begged.Romana was quivering with fear, not for herself but for her child."Fair person?! Haha! Crazy!" she yelled back."Lalaine!"Lalaine lost her focus. A loud shout from the gate echoed. Vincent was coming. He took big steps towards where she is."Stay there!" she screamed threat
"It's not that easy what you want to happen. You already have a girlfriend. I don't want to ruin a relationship for the second time."She avoided looking at Evo. She wanted to continue their past, but it wasn't possible. It would be horrendous if her mistake would happen again."You don't need to worry about Thea.""Don't you really understand? I don't want another woman to suffer because of me! Is it really that easy for you to switch girlfriends? After you've taken advantage of them, you'll just leave them like a piece of trash?!" she asked angrily.Because of the strength of her voice, Baby Rebecca awakened. The baby cried loudly. Romana tried to calm her child but Rebecca didn't stop. Roman approached her to take the baby for a moment."I'll take care of my nephew. I think you two need to talk suitably."After his brother got out of the door carrying her daughter, Evo locked the room."What are you doing?" She raised an eyebrow.Evo grinned widely as his tongue ran over his white
"P-please, L-Lalaine! D-don't do it! I am begging you! T-tell me what I have to do so you can forgive me for everything I've done wrong! I-I'll do anything!"Lalaine grinned. She hugged the baby tightly again. Her gazes were burning as their eyes met."You will do everything? Did I hear it correctly, Romana?"Romana quickly bobbed despite the shivering of her entire body."I-I'll give it whatever it is! Just don't take the most precious treasure I have from me!"Lalaine raised her index finger high. Romana's eyes followed the movement of her hand and her heart beat fast as the woman pointed her finger to the bottom of the building."Jump," Lalaine ordered her dead emotionally."W-what?" she stammered.The two men straightened in their spots at Lalaine's order."Enough, Lalaine!" Tristan shouted."Why? Can't you, Romana? I thought you would do anything for this child. If you die, you are paid for everything you owe me. You stole my quiet and beautiful life I had! If it wasn't because o
"R-Romana. . . " Evo tried to hold her hand and reveal the truth that it was all just a show but was stopped by a strong slap in the face.He could feel the pain on his skin, but for Evo, that pain was nothing compared to the pain he caused Romana to feel now."I-I thought you would understand me ... Y-You abandoned me … I don't want to see your face anymore, E-Evo Xylon. You are just making me suffer even more every time I see you. Get lost! Stay away from me!"Evo bowed down. He lost his mind that what the woman was going through was too heavy, but instead of staying by her side, he chose to walk away.Roman gently patted his shoulder. "It's alright, man. I'll take care of my sister. Thank you very much for taking us here."Evo walked slowly towards the door to leave the house. All this time, all he wanted was to experience Romana to fight her love for him, but he did not foresee that by doing that, he was already torturing Romana's heart.Roman received an anonymous call after Evo
"Kitty! Let's find Baby Rebecca! I can't afford to lose her!" Romana cried hysterically to her companion.She freaked out and didn't care what people around her would think. She crouched on the floor, worried about what might happen to Baby Rebecca."Ma'am Romana, calm down. We will ask for help."Those in charge instantly responded to the scene of the crime. One of the security guards of that establishment approached to inquire what happened. Correspondingly, a staff member has already phoned the authority to deal with the case.Kitty reached Roman. The maid likewise couldn't think straight anymore."Hello, Kitty?" Roman answered from the other line."S-Sir. . ." she stammered, incapable of concealing the tension in her voice.Roman scowled. "Is there a problem?"Even Roman's companion, Evo, stopped what he was doing. They are presently playing billiards at Evo's place."What? All right! Stay there! I'm going!"Roman quickly pulled out the jacket from the coat rack and then left in a
She laughed bitterly; couldn't believe that Evo would bring up that issue out of the blue."Is it forbidden to hug you? We used to do more than that, didn't we?" Romana's eyes broadened as she asked her ex-lover."So, you are still head over heels in love with me?" He grinned while stroking his detailed jawline.A winced and sardonic laughter echoed around the house. "What a jerk!""Did you use illegal drugs abroad? The reason why you're out of your mind now?" she summed up."Why don't you just admit that you can't get over me? You still love me, am I right?”"In your dreams!"That debate was cut in only when the short-tempered doctor stood up from his seat. Roman just stared at them, listening to frivolous arguments.He looked at the three of them back and forth."Damn it! So irritating!" Tyrone broke into their argument."I'm leaving before I go completely crazy because of these two," Tyrone added before he walked out disappointed.With extensive steps, he spelled the direction to t
"E-Evo. . . "Nothing has changed in the appearance of her ex-lover. If there is, it's just the slight maturation of his face.Yet, the fineness of his posture and his handsomeness did not diminish. If she were to be asked, he became even more gorgeous in her eyes."Evo!" she exclaimed again with a tone of excitement.Rapidly, she strolled closer to embrace him tightly but. . ."Honey. . ." called the girl who had just come out of the washroom.She froze and glanced at the unfamiliar face of the woman in confusion.Apparently, she had just seen the woman just now but what confused her mind more was who the girl called honey.Is it Roman?Tyrone?Or Evo?"Honey?" Shocked and bewildered while looking at the two men alternately."A-ah, R-Romana. . . S-she's Thea by the way. . . Evo's fiancée," Roman introduced the woman.It was as if a vital slap blasted her face due to shame."Huh?" That was the only word that came out of her mouth. Didn't know how to react.Eyes became mischievous, try
Unexpectedly, the door of her room opened. They both turned to the door, followed by the entrance of his brother, Roman; they were caught in such a position."Hey! Are you scaring my sister too? Stay away from her!" The doctor said nothing.It comes off that what Tyrone is doing to her is common for Roman.He came in holding up a large tote bag with various contents such as bread, fruits, fresh milk, and others.Tyrone immediately moved away from her, looking at her brother without emotion."Next time, don't ask me to do things like this, okay? I'm a doctor and also a businessman, not a caregiver! Babysit your sister 'cause I have a crucial thing to do." Tyrone left the room after that.Roman shook his head at his friend's behavior."Is that really your friend? He has such a bad attitude!" Romana asked followed by a flash of smirk on her lips.Roman just laughed. "Sorry for that. That one is really rude but he is kind. You see... He still watched over you even though he was against i
"R-Roman! A-are we still far?!" Romana asked her brother between accented groans.She was in the backseat while her brother had his eyes seriously concentrated on the highway. From time to time, he glimpsed at her to see how she was doing."Just be patient, Romana. We'll get to the nearest hospital."A few minutes passed before they reached their destination. Roman got out of the car, he was immediately greeted by two nurses."What's the problem?" one of them asked him."My sister is in the car. She's nearly to give birth. . . P-please, please assist her!"One of the two nurses who came upon them ran back inside the hospital and he returned with a stretcher."Sir, we're going to shift her here."They supported Romana down to the car and then carefully transferred her to the stretcher. She was frequently inhaling air because it seemed like she was about to run out of breath."Relax, Ma'am. Don't worry, we will do the best we can to help you," the nurse calmed her before pushing her to
It's not easy to start over but Romana has no other option but to face tomorrow alone.Ever since Evo left, she had a hard time. Although she had many attendants to serve her, it still felt different to have a shoulder that you could lean on during hard times. She misses his care.To make an escape, she made an effort to crochet a hat, a mitten for her baby's hands, and socks using red and pink cotton yarn. She persistently watched videos on the internet to learn how to do it."Looks like we're doing something serious there, huh?" Roman remarked to her.The man just came from work. He begged her very much to cure their connection as siblings.Roman was the only family she had, so she agreed to reconcile.And even on the day that they resolved the problem, he did not agree to live in a different house anymore.He said it would be better if they lived together under the same roof so he could monitor her and her baby.She did not attempt to object. It's sad to be alone, especially since
