LEXI'S POVI woke up to the sensation of a kiss on my forehead. When I opened my eyes, I saw Chase staring at me. He smiled, which made me sit up quickly. I didn’t realize I had fallen asleep.“How long have you been here?” I asked him.“I just got here,” he answered briefly.“Sorry, I fell asleep. Where is Chelsea?” I asked again.“She just stepped out for a moment.”I glanced back at Chase. He was still wearing his polo shirt, but his necktie was gone. His hair was messy, and his clothes were crumpled. His smile didn’t reach his eyes, and I couldn’t stop myself from asking him.“Is there something wrong?” I asked.“Are you hungry? Let’s eat,” he said, abruptly changing the topic.He was about to walk out of the room, but I quickly grabbed his hand. He stopped but didn’t turn to face me.“Grey, tell me,” I said with courage.He turned to me and knelt, so our faces were level because I was still sitting on the bed.“Let’s get married, Lexi Ann,” he said desperately.“What?” I asked, a

THIRD POVShiela had been discharged from the hospital and returned home, but she remained unusually quiet. Ricky was deeply concerned about his daughter’s behavior but couldn’t do much for now. Despite his reluctance, he left the house to go to his office, trusting his wife to stay and look after her daughter.Once Shiela was certain that her father had left, she quickly went to the kitchen where her mother was currently cooking.“Mom, what’s the news?” she asked urgently.“It’s not good, but don’t worry. I’m working on it. For now, just continue acting withdrawn and quiet whenever you’re around with your father. He needs to feel how much this is affecting you so he won’t approve of the wedding,” Minda explained at length.Brenna sighed and shook her head slightly. She couldn’t believe everything that had happened. But she was sure of one thing: Lexi was in love with James now. So, she was baffled as to how her half-sister and Chase had gotten back together. Something didn’t feel rig

LEXI'S POVI woke up early because, truthfully, I didn’t get much sleep last night. Chelsea, who shared the bed with me, was still sound asleep, while Chase slept on the floor. Audrey insisted on staying over at the condo out of concern for me, so the three of us came home together last night.I got up quietly to avoid waking the siblings. I decided to cook breakfast for the three of us since Chase and I both had work for the day. I had also made up my mind to return to the office because staying in the condo might drive me crazy. Chelsea had plans of her own today, so it was better for the three of us to eat breakfast together before heading off to our respective activities.I was used to cooking breakfast—I had been doing it for years. Whenever I knew Papa would have breakfast at home, I always volunteered to cook. He didn’t know, but it made me happy to see him enjoying the meals I prepared for him.Chase had plenty of food stocked in his condo. He rarely stayed there since he usua

LEXI'S POV"Thank you for dropping me off, Grey," I said with a smile as his car stopped in front of the building where I work.He smiled back at me. "Are you sure you’re ready to go back to work?" he asked."Of course. I can’t afford to stop working—I don’t want to run out of money, especially now that I can’t rely on Papa," I said jokingly.That was true. I didn’t want to stop working because I’d never wanted to depend on Papa for my financial needs, even before. Especially now, with all the problems at home."I could support you, you know. You don’t need to work," he said, smiling."Crazy. You’re not obligated to do that. Anyway, I’ll see you later. Bye."I was about to get out of the car when he suddenly grabbed my hand. I turned to him, puzzled. I didn’t think I’d forgotten anything."I love you, Lex," he said seriously.I became even more confused. "Grey, you don’t have to say that. No one’s watching us," I replied."I know. But we need to practice—to get used to it," he explain

THIRD POVThe video of Chase proposing to Lexi quickly went viral. Shiela saw it too, and she screamed at the top of her lungs, overwhelmed with rage. Her mother, Minda, immediately rushed to her and was equally furious when she saw the video."I can’t take this, Mama. Do something about this!" Shiela shouted angrily.Her mother promised her that the couple would be separated, but after watching the video, she realized their plan had become much more difficult. Chase had publicly announced his desire to marry Lexi to the entire country. She couldn’t accept this. She should have been the woman Chase proposed to, the one he knelt before. That proposal she had dreamed of for years was instead given to her mortal enemy."I can’t lose like this. She’s just Papa’s illegitimate child! She doesn’t deserve this. I should be the one, Mama. Only me!" she yelled hysterically.Her mother tried to calm her down, embracing her while stroking her hair."There’s still a way, my dear. That woman will n

LEXI'S POV"Are you already at home?"I glanced at my father's house while holding my phone to my right ear."I just need to drop by somewhere, Grey," I curtly replied to Trevor at the other end of the line."Okay, take care, Lex."I didn’t respond further and simply ended the call. I took a deep breath while staring at the gate. I had called Linda earlier, and she said that Papa and Aunt Minda would be home late. Shiela, on the other hand, was still devastated and just staying in her room, which gave me the courage to come home."Hija, why don’t you come in? Come inside," Linda greeted me as she stepped out of the gate.I quickly approached her and hugged her. I missed Linda, who had stood in as my mother, and I couldn’t help but cry because of it. The longing for a mother's child was still lingering in my mind."Lexi, don’t make me cry too," she said, almost in tears.I smiled faintly. I wiped my tears quickly and released her. If I had my own house, I would have taken her with me s

CHELSEA'S POVI decided to stay at my brother's condo because I wanted to see Lexi again. However, when I arrived, no one was there. My brother had already told me he’d be home late, and I couldn’t get through to Lexi. She is not answering my calls. Left with no choice, I called Chase instead."Chelsea, are you at the condo already?" he greeted."Yes, Chase. But Lexi isn’t here," I replied, glancing at my watch.It was already seven in the evening. I didn’t want to think negatively, but I couldn’t help worrying about her. She once told me how Shiela had nearly attempted to harm her, so I couldn’t shake off my anxiety."I’m on my way home."That was all Chase said before hanging up. I let out a sigh and slumped onto the sofa. Both of them are going through so much right now. That’s why I wanted them to feel that I was on their side. I also wanted Lexi to experience what it’s like to have a supportive sibling, something her half-sister had denied her. She's a great person, and she does

LEXI'S POVI slowly opened my eyes, greeted by a white ceiling. I scanned the room and spotted Chelsea arranging food on a table not too far away from where I was."Chelsea," I called softly."Hey, Lexi, how are you feeling? Do you need anything? Should I call the doctor?" she asked rapidly, worry evident in her voice.I gently shook my head, unable to respond as she suddenly embraced me. Her unexpected gesture caught me off guard."Lexi, please don’t scare us like that again. Chase and I were so worried," she said gently.I couldn’t hold back my tears any longer. Everything that had happened earlier came rushing back to me, and I was beyond grateful that the siblings were there to help me. If they hadn’t arrived when they did, I might not even be alive right now. But even now, I can’t fully process the horrible truths I have learned from James.All my life, they made me believe my mother’s death was an accident. And now, they are trying to take my father away from me, too. I couldn’t

THIRD POVLexi was about to reach for Gino’s hand to go with him when they both froze—Shiela’s cell phone suddenly rang. They simultaneously turned to look at the young woman as she fished the phone out of her bag. Lexi was suddenly filled with anxiety for a reason she couldn't quite explain.“Yes, Charlene?” Shiela answered the call.“You fool! Where are you right now? Have you got Lexi yet?” Charlene asked nervously.“Why? What’s wrong?” Shiela asked, confused.“My god, Shiela! If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have let you use my people. I might get dragged into your family’s mess,” Charlene snapped.“Wait, wait—what are you talking about?”“Don’t you know yet? Your mother is already in police custody. She’s being charged with murder.”Shiela turned pale at the news. Her heartbeat quickened with fear, and her hands began to sweat.“A-are you sure about that?”"Shiela, it’s on national TV. The whole country knows what your mother did, and Chase’s mother is involved, too.

THIRD POVShiela gave a bitter smile upon hearing the voice of the man who had hurt her repeatedly. The sweet, affectionate tone he used with her just days ago was now gone. It was all an act—to get information about her mother.“Relax. There’s no need to get mad, Chase. They’re safe for now,” she said emotionlessly.“Don’t you dare hurt them,” Chase said, panic in his voice.She smiled again and sighed deeply. “You’ve got some nerve to say that to me now. You lied to me and gave me false hope. All those lies—for what? To get information?”“And why would I get information from you? Do you even know what really happened with the fire in my condo back then?” Chase shot back.Shiela froze, still burning with rage. She took a deep breath as the man she had called earlier finally arrived. He was panting, clearly having run a long way to reach the location. She gave him a faint smile and turned her attention back to the person on the phone.“I’m sure you won’t report this to the police. Eve

THIRD POVChase’s office was thick with tension. His father and his sister Chelsea were there. Spread out on his table were the pieces of evidence he had gathered to strengthen the case he filed against his stepmother and her lover, Minda. His father examined them one by one, while he and Chelsea waited in silence for his reaction.“Papa, I’m sorry that this is how you had to find out everything,” he finally broke the silence.Chelsea stepped closer to him and held his hand tightly. He was immensely grateful to his sister; despite the pain of everything happening, she still chose to stand by what was right. Now, all he hoped was that their father would do the same.Carlo slowly set the papers down and let out a deep sigh. “I never thought my wife would go this far,” he said, clearly dismayed.The siblings exchanged glances. Their father was calm. He didn’t even look surprised—almost as if he already knew all of it.“Papa,” Chelsea called softly.“I’ve known for a long time that your m

THIRD POV"I didn’t expect that we’d meet here."Gino turned toward the woman who suddenly spoke. He wasn’t surprised to see who it was—he could never forget the voice of the woman he hurt because of his deep love for Lexi."Savina," he murmured softly.Savina stepped closer to the grave and gently placed the flowers she had brought for her friend. A bitter smile crossed her face—after all these years, the first man she had ever loved was standing there, at her best friend’s final resting place."May I ask why you're here?" she couldn't help but ask.Gino let out a sigh. "Lexi was my friend too."Savina took a deep breath and turned to face Gino, who was staring off into the distance. She couldn’t miss the empty beer bottles beside him. His appearance had also changed drastically—so different from how he looked on his social media accounts.“It’s been eight years, right? Don’t you think it’s about time you finally tell me the real reason you broke up with me back then?” she said, gath

LEXI'S POV“Chase.”Chase and I both turned to Chelsea when she called him. We had just finished eating breakfast. Chelsea still hadn’t gone home ever since she found out about her mother. She had asked her brother to cover for her so that Uncle Carlo wouldn’t worry.Chelsea had been speaking to us again, but not the same way as before. There was now a wall between the two of us, which I completely understood. I couldn’t blame her for how she was acting towards me and Chase. What mattered now was that she still trusted us.“Can I come with you today? I just want to see Papa.”Chase and I looked at each other. I nodded, showing that I agreed with what Chelsea wanted. I trusted her enough to know that she wouldn’t tell anyone I was alive.“Are you ready to see her?” Chase asked seriously.Chelsea lowered her head, and I didn’t miss how her fists clenched. “I need to accept it, right? No matter what I do, the past won’t change. And just like you, Chase, I only want all this chaos to end.

THIRD POV"Gino, where the hell are you now?"Gino pulled his phone away from his ear as his sister Charlene shouted at him. This was one of the reasons he often hesitated to answer her calls—he knew she was just looking for him."I'm heading home soon," he replied quietly."Wait—are you drunk again?" she asked angrily.He smiled faintly. "Don’t worry. I can go home. Bye."He didn’t wait for Charlene’s response and quickly ended the call. He returned the phone to his pocket and took another swig from the bottle he had been holding for a while. It had lost its chill, and he winced at the bitter taste.“If I had known that would be our last conversation, I would’ve made the most of it,” he said sadly, staring at the tombstone he visited nearly every day. Tears fell again as he took another sip of beer.GINO'S POV (FLASHBACK)Shiela’s bullying was a normal thing in our school. On the first day of class, I was just quietly observing while waiting for Chase. I was looking at the school gat

THIRD POVThe whole day passed, and Shiela tried several times to call and talk to Chase, but he never answered her calls. She spent the entire day sitting in the park, still hoping the young man would call her back—but she was disappointed. She had almost no tears left to cry after that morning’s emotional breakdown. She never imagined being hurt like this, thinking fate had finally started favoring her.She couldn’t understand why all of this was happening to her. Everyone she thought she could trust had been deceiving her. The life she thought was blessed turned out to be more complicated than Lexi’s.Shiela went home in a daze and gave a bitter smile when she saw her mother and Anna eating together at the house. When Anna saw her, she immediately stood up.“It’s good you’re here. Come, eat with us,” the woman said with a smile.“Your Aunt Anna cooked your favorite dish, dear,” her mother added.She turned her back on the two women. “I’m just going to see Papa.”She didn’t let them

SHIELA'S POVI didn’t even know what had happened anymore—I just suddenly found myself inside my car, parked not too far from the TAC building. I was simply staring at the entrance and exit. I didn’t know whether I should tell Trevor what I’d found out. I had no idea how he’d react once he learned that Lexi’s death wasn’t an accident.My life was starting to become smooth again. Things were going well between Chase and me, but after what my mom confessed, I wasn’t sure if it would all come crashing down. Even from the grave, my half-sister continued to bring chaos into my life. I couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t just disappear from my path.My thoughts were cut short when I saw Chase come out of the building and head straight to his car. I wanted to talk to him, but he seemed to be in a rush. I tried calling him again, but he didn’t pick up.“What the h*ll, Chase?” I muttered to myself, frowning. I saw him glance at his phone when I called—but instead of answering, he just put it

THIRD POVBecause of what they talked about, Shiela immediately went to her mother’s office. She had now realized that only Chase could help her. As much as she didn’t want to believe that Lexi was haunting them, she couldn’t think of any other explanation for her mother’s strange behavior. That’s why she needed to talk to her mother and convince her to visit the faith healer Chase had consulted.When she arrived at her mother’s office, she was surprised to see Chase’s mother, Anna, there. She couldn’t help but wonder why the two women have been seeing each other more frequently lately. She wanted to feel happy that they were seemingly getting along—it was a huge advantage for her in winning over Chase—but she felt the opposite. She wasn’t happy, for reasons she couldn’t quite explain.“Sweetheart, do you need something?” her mother asked in surprise.Her gaze shifted between the two women. She didn’t want to assume anything improper, but she had walked in on them holding hands. She h
