We went back to the parking area while he is checking on me.
"Why are you avoiding my stares?" Boldly, I asked.
There, I find his eyes locked in mine, and he smirked attractively, saying, "I just want to make sure you are unharmed and get you treated. Are you hurt somewhere? I can't seem to find anything wrong."
I find myself giggling at his response, and I flicked his forehead as he flinched, "I am fine. I am not as weak as you can see. Thus, Melissa is weaker than me."
Sighing while parking a brow in uncertainty, Reese replied, "I guess you are right about it. Should we continue our topic?"
"What was it again? Sorry, I was so distracted by what happened earlier." He admitted, lowering his gaze to my wrist.
"It's fine," Shyly, I told him. However, I am unsure if I should find out more about Dreanna. I couldn't shake the feeling of f

If I wasn't the Real One   Chapter 1 (The Attitude)
I was making my way home, rushing to make some dinner for myself. Yeah, this is just a simple routine that I do daily. I know, it's a boring, pointless life. I've been like this since I was ten.Don't ask me why because life is never been too good for me. I even forgot someone important to me, and the promise we made for each other.*BEEP SHHHInattentive, I suddenly saw a car's light flash through my life while I was running in the crossing lane---I couldn't respond at that time. All I do was stand and watch it reaching for me. That's what happened. I don't know, but I just feel my hands are turning gray and dull."Erina?"I heard someone calling me, but it feels so strange. Her voice is emotional, but it feels empty--- or is it just me?"Erina?"I feel her hands shaking in my skin as mine is freezing.'What happened to me? Am I dreaming? All I see is darkness.'"Erina, please

It's been a week since I got discharged from the hospital. I think I collapse to the fact that 'Aunty Blare' was my mom. Or maybe, I was flooded with heavy, weary thoughts.Even though I am still laying on the bed staring at this empty ceiling, I see a picture inside my head. I don't know what's up to me, but it's like I've been playing with fate.My heart skips a beat when I hear the voices inside my head saying, "This child should rot to death!" Likewise, "I shouldn't have given birth to you."A tear escaped from my eye as I know for a fact that those words are for me. Suddenly, my left ear buzzes, and it kind of hurt me.I clenched my hand as I held my hair, trying to ease myself."I promise I will save you from this stupid place, Dre--." I heard a kid's voice, and I am utterly confused by the context he is saying. Who is this kid referring to? What does he mean?Then, I heard a knock on my door. I turn

It's been hours since I've been stuck in my room, and I am feeling hungry.Unbelievable, it seems that my husband is going to be late tonight. I haven't seen him today, which is annoying! He should have known that I will be coming home today, but he wasn't here to welcome me back home! This is absolutely bulshit!*GROWL*Yes, I know. My stomach is empty. Should I try to call the maid?Honestly, this isn't the first time I let my stomach empty because almost every day I couldn't eat proper food because I live miserably in a cramped place.Huh? What am I blabbering about?Shrugging my head, I release a heavy sigh. Why do I think too much to the point where I do not know my stand.Thankfully, a knock from the door interrupts me from becoming my own enemy."Come in," I said, plainly.I put my hands on my waist, waiting for the person to enter. Later on, the maid enters my room.&n

My escape plan? Ha! Failed!Jericho Arison, huh! His whole existence is a bluff! I don't even feel the sincerity in every ounce of his words.'Erina, I am your husband.' I can't shake that off in my head.Now, this man is keeping me around his fingers, toying with my emotions."Erina?" He called me, and I snap out from spacing out. He pulls me back to the reality that he is dragging me back to our 'home' while holding hands.We arrived at the front door as he keeps his gentleman persona to me. He smoothly lets me inside the house, closing the front door silently."Have you eaten your dinner?" Courteously, he asked. Then, he takes off his black suit and loosens his tie. That's kinda hot!No, no, no! Shit! I shouldn't be thinking about it. I shouldn't be thirsting for this man because he is too suspicious."Erina, you've been spacing out." He said, walking closer towards me. I instinctively bac

Time flies so fast for sure because it's been three days since that 'incident' and my husband didn't dare to kick Celci out of the house. Instead, he told me to give her a chance. The audacity!"Tsk!"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*KNOCK KNOCK*I heard someone knocking on my door, and I told the person to come in.Surprise! Surprise! It's my husband!Why would I be happy with his presence? He insulted me at the dining table."Honey," He sighed, and he sounded regretful. But, my ass is tired of him."Don't call me that, dumbass! Leave me alone!" I stomped my right foot on the ground, clenching my hands.This man didn't seem to like my treatment towards him as his brows knitted together."What do you want?" I shrugged, putting my hands around my waist, giving a fiery glare.Flinching, Jericho looks around in panic before giving me a reply, "Can't you give Celci more time? She said she wi

I dashed to my room and started to pack up my things. My heart is thumping inside, and I couldn't remove these tears away from my delicate cheek. I check on my drawers to find something, like evidence. Frankly, this is upsetting as my mind is jelly.Abruptly, I found a cellphone. It's mine, isn't it?Sniffling, I swear. "Shit, shit, Shit!" I hated the feeling that my anger turns into tears.I look up as I wiped my tears away. Unexpectedly, someone barged inside my room without knocking on the door."Honey, are you okay?"When I heard his voice, I instantly dropped my mouth wide open. I bet he sees my eyes widening as he is dazed by the look on my face.Drifting my gaze away, I said. "What brings you here?"Watching him carefully, he sighed as he walks to the sofa to take a seat. Slowly, I hide my phone in my pocket."We should talk. It's been days, Erina. Stop giving me off a cold shoul

I walked outside the mansion. But, holy sh-! The mansion's ground was too huge. I was lost for minutes. It took me several turns to reach the gate.Now I think Jericho prefers to wait for the driver to show up around the corner because it would be too tiring to walk around.Thankfully, I was able to get out without being caught. I wonder how did Celci manage to be working on that mansion.Enough with those thoughts. It's not like I am worried about the people who are unconcerned about me.*TING*I heard a notification pop out of my phone. So, I immediately check on it.'Honey, how are you? I missed you.

My mom took me home because she believed that I wasn't in the right state of mind. Thus, I wasn't planning on going back to that mansion and starting a fistfight with Jericho. What he did to me was upsetting, unforgivable!Nevertheless, I started to have some recollection of my memory. Like I was cooking in the rusty kitchen alone in a small apartment. I must be very lonely.Were these memories flashing in my head because of my vulnerability? I mean, I almost got hit by a car, though."Honey, are you alright?" My mom's eyes dew as she asked me how was I feeling.If I were, to be honest, I would have said I am feeling wrecked by a wrecking ball. However, I shrug it all off as I replied, "I am feeling better.""I'll give you time by yourself, then," My mother said, turning around to leave me alone in my room."Mom, wait!"

If I wasn't the Real One   Chapter 12 (The Taste of Wrath)
I was so glad that I was able to manage to get home safely, even though I got drunk and wasted. When we went out of the grand hotel, I thought Jericho would come and beat my ass out because I really had a bad feeling about that incident. And I thought alcohol could help me make myself better, but damn, my head is fucked up.Fortune seems not in my favor as I couldn't remember Serena's feature. That woman was good at hiding herself.Buzzing, I saw my cellphone's screen light up.On a spur of the second, I immediately unlocked the screen. I was expecting it was Jericho. Unknowstobe, it wasn't him.I looked at the message, and it made me irk."Dreanna, you up?"Even though it's from an unknown sender, nobody has the audacity of irritating me in just a snap of time.I ignored this guy's message, but eventually, he made his way to call me up. So, my phone keeps ringing and buzzing. Muting my phone didn't help

Jericho POV************(The Night after Erina's disappearance)I went home, and I ran straight to Erina's room. To my surprise, she wasn't there.When I am about to turn around, Celci stood behind me with an annoyed face."She left, and I didn't even notice her." She told me that, and I clicked my tongue.Why would she leave the house? What's her motive?I tried calling her many times, but her phone is dead or left unattended.What the hell is up to her?!This is the first time that she couldn't tell me where she was heading. It's not like I wanted to know, but she wasn't like this. Did she already regain her memories about me and Serena?If she does, she would go straight to me, and Serena, confronting us.To be honest, I felt something strange and different from her. The Erina I knew was so fragile, innocent, and understanding. She changed into a different person as she becam
If I wasn't the Real One   Chapter 10 (The Party)
"Well, I am your knight and shining armor. Shall I say it like that?" His eyebrow raises, making him so cocky. His aura itself oozed with sexiness. Damn, how can someone like him become so hot? I bet he is hotter when he is not all undressed, naked. Hold up, what did I imagine?! Embarrassed, I looked away as my cheek is starting to burn, tinting red like a tomato. "I see that you liked my body so much that you get drowned in it. Don't worry, soon it will be yours." He confidently stated, and everyone near us gasps and got choked by their own spits. Instinctively, this man gave them a venomous gaze as a warning, surprising me with his nature. As the people turn away from us, he snorted and blurted. "Good." "What the hell?" I hissed irritatedly. This guy knows how to drive me insane in less than a minute. "Anyway, should we catch up? We have so many things to talk about." He then seated next to me, gazing into my eyes like a pr

"Hey, Dreanna! Wake up, you useless child! How many times do I have to tell you to wake up early to clean your father's mess!"Then, this woman looked at me so furiously, and I could feel my face disfigured of how she raised her tone toward me.What am I to her? What have I done?Then, my eyes landed on a sick man on the sofa. He looks so thin, skin and bones, lying there all alone. So, I walk to check on him and to get a closer look.Upon sneaking into him, his head darts in my direction, and everything started to get shaky.The man suddenly coughs blood, making me worried. Then, the teary-eyed looked at me sorrowfully."Dreanna, I am so sorry. I made you suffer."Was he saying that to me?After hearing his voice, my heart starts to feel a loss for me. I feel so affected by him, but why? What connection do we have? Later on, my body starts shaking, getting stiff on the spot, and I started screaming because of
