Auntie Pat hugged me so tight. "Miranda, anak!"
"Auntie..." I closed my eyes as I hugged her back. I miss her.
"We're worried about why your wedding with Fiore was postponed. He said you got sick and was put to rest in the province he didn't even mention where. We've been calling you, but you're not answering your phone.”
‘So I was sick?’ Fiore's statement was intended to divert their attention away from the truth.
“How are you, Mir?" My Auntie's gaze hovered over my appearance and smiled. "You're still so beautiful, Miranda."
"Thank you very much, Auntie." I, too, smil

Desperate"X-Xyle, no..." I almost begged. I want him to leave. I wanted him to go away. Because if he stays, I might betray Fiore again. Now that I'm in his arms once more."Tell me, Miranda. Does it not matter to you what happened between us?"I stared into his eyes. I saw rage, grief and passion all the same time. He held my arm tightly, and the heat coming from him seemed to consume me.‘Why is he asking me that question? Of course, it is something, damn it!’ It kept on coming back in my dreams. Even when I was awake, all I could see was his burning eyes adoring me. His lips were kissing me, and his calloused hands were touching every inch of my body. Every part of me was out of control, and I was losing my mind and my san

Teasing MeI stared back at Xylon, watching his every move. And when he removed his top, I was even more aroused. Oh, his chiselled body, firm muscles, and abs... I'm already drooling over the thought of tasting him. So when he stood up and undid his pants, all I could do was stare at his still-hidden bulge. I bit my lower lip at his length and size.'Oh sh*t, Miranda. How could you, or any woman, resist such a temptation? Everything is there. Everything is right in front of you. Go. Grab it and savour it while you can. You never know when it'll appear again.'I got up, so I could see more of him. 'God, I can't wait.' But then he gently pushed me back to bed and moved his body on top of me.He focused on my face as if analysing every part

Other WomanSheung Wan. That is what they call this place. I looked up at the tall building in front of me. It was made in modern construction and can be compared to some of the tallest skyscrapers in Manila.It looks like a very busy street. With shops and patrons and the audible noise of foreign language veiled around me.My observation of the foreign setting was interrupted when Fiore grabbed my arm."I have a flat here where we can stay. Let's go, Miranda," he said.We entered a narrow hallway and took the elevator. There were writings on the wall. Words are written in Cantonese and below are the English translations, 'when there is a fire, do not use the lift'.

VentriloquistOne week has passed. Until now, Fiore hasn't explained anything to me. I had a hint that the woman was one of his business investors, Ms Aicheng. But why did she hug Fiore like that? Why the heck did she kiss him on his lips?"Mir, are you done?" Fiore called me. I'm inside the bathroom looking at myself in front of a mirror."Just a minute," I answered but couldn't move.It's been a week. Fiore went back and forth to his so-called project. He hasn’t fulfilled any promised dinner ever since. I constantly eat alone. After he drinks his coffee in the morning, he will leave immediately. He's always in a hurry. And he never even kisses me before storming off. Often, he would come home when I was already asleep. We haven't

No LabelSomeone suddenly cleared his throat. It was Xylon who’s now looking at us steadfastly. I bit my lip in extreme embarrassment. I could hardly look at Fiore anymore. I could feel all eyes were on me. Mocking me. Telling me, I don't belong here."If you’ll allow me, Fiore..." We both looked in Xylon’s direction —who was exchanging glances at me and Fiore— while his hand was still holding Ms Aicheng's elbow like a real gentleman. "Ms Ai, meet Ms Miranda Forbes. My ex."A black butterfly landed on my head. I was stained with black pixie dust and my face turned pale."Oh?" The girl covered her mouth like she couldn't comprehend what she just heard. Neither do I! "Well, it's nice meeting you. O-Of course yo

The TruthI laughed quietly at myself. What a fool I was to still have feelings for Xylon. This unexplainable sensation that I couldn't fathom until now."Stop talking, Xyle! It was never your fault," I said without looking at him."You still have feelings for Fiore. I should not have insisted in the first place.""You didn't force me.""Still, I took advantage of you.""I'm not a wimp because I can fight if I want to!" I let out a sigh.Truth be told, whatever that thing is? It was memorable for me. If I was sorry for what happened between us back then, the night we spent

The BrotherI was trying to hide the awful look on my face by hugging the black pillow. I could hear the familiar, sentimental music around me. Simultaneous with the familiar voices while I shut my mind of everything."Angel, what happened?""Camish, let’s leave her alone. Mir has been like that since she came back from Hong Kong.""Did that jerk do something bad to you? Tell me. I knew that Fiore was an arse!"I cried even more. I wanted to disappear like a bubble. To be driven away by the wind and completely be erased.I hate this feeling. I felt betrayed and chastised. Even though I kept on telling myself not to cry, my eyes were so stubbo

DispleasureIf I could only see my reflection in a mirror, I know that my cheeks were red as a cherry. My chest throbbed so fast I couldn't properly breathe."Kuya! I thought you’re arriving tomorrow?" Sheena hugged him. As if they hadn't seen each other for a long period. Xylon returned the hug.I began to wonder why she called him ‘Kuya’. ‘Does that mean they're siblings? Xylon was Sheena’s brother?’"They gave me the contract earlier than expected so I went here straight away." A deep voice coming from him sent shivers down my spine that I couldn't move from where I was standing.His eyes settled on me. I turned to Camish who was also looking at me with a

The Shadow Has GoneI tapped Kiko on his back. He's in charge of the lights and sounds for tonight's Foundation day celebration."Dude, make sure I'm not getting involved with this!" he threatened me. "I don't want to be expelled. We're already graduating.""I'll take care of you. Just watch for my signal. You know what to do.""As long as you take care of my thesis.""I'll take care of it." We did a fist bump and then readied ourselves.‘You're crazy Xylon Diaz. They said that you were the notorious lady killer. Almost all girls are into you. What nonsense is this you're thinking? Over a girl, you didn't even know? Where's your charm, man?&r

I Love You"I love you.""What?" she looks fascinated."Jeg elsker dig... means I love you. I've always loved you, Miranda. You just didn't know, but there were so many times I wanted to snatch you away from Fiore. Every time I see you, I am so disgusted with myself. I wished I had confessed to you right away. I wished I was the one you had chosen. I wished I was the one who was there with you... I wished..." I was startled when I looked back at her. She's crying. "M-Mir...""I-I wish you're with me every time I remember the day of my parents' death. I wish you're the one I was talking to on the other line before I go to sleep at night. I wish Xyle... I wish you were my first boyfriend. My first date. My first kiss..."

The Meaning of the WordThe view of the orange sky covered the entire surrounding where we sat. The resort was still filled with guests, and the smell of freshly mowed lawn filled the air. I encircled Miranda with my arms as she leant on my shoulder. I couldn't possibly ask for anything more in this world right now."Are you tired?" I inquired of her."Yes, indeed. But it's all worthwhile, Xylon. I thought this would never happen.”I wrapped my two hands around her and hugged her tightly. "I had the same thought. You're so far away. Your eyes weren't looking at me."She let out a soft laugh. "You're wrong. Because you were so close at the time, my eyes became accustomed to your presence.

Granted Wish"F*ck, I am!"Xylon pulled my chin up, forcing me to look into his teary eyes. "Please don't let me repeat it, Softy. Allow me and I'll prove to you—"I didn't let him finish what he’s about to say. I tiptoed and kissed him on his lips. "Then start proving your love to me now," I demanded.I saw him bite his lip and he immediately complied by grabbing my ass with both of his hands and lifted me.The groaning sound of his piano spread throughout the entire room as he gently slammed me to sit on his keyboard.Xylon kissed me. Like he was thirsty for it. He touched me. Like his life depends on it. Unexplainable emotions overfl

I Will Love YouThough my tears were stubborn as they continued to fall down my cheeks, I still tried to control and wiped them using my fingers. My hands and my knees were shaking.I wanted to know if I was dreaming or I was just imagining. But I panicked when I saw Xylon step away as if he didn't notice me."What?!" I growled at him. "What, Xylon? You're going to leave? Huh?" I asked, trying to calm myself. "Don't turn your back on me! Why didn't you tell me about this house? Why did you lie?"I tried to approach him. But I could only take a step because my knees were still trembling."I could have escaped this place back then. You told me this was too far from f*cking civilizations! You tol

Leaving Her"That’s bullsh*t, Fiore!" I confronted him angrily. "Why don't you tell her directly? If you don't love her, then just set her free.""And disappoint my parents once again? My parents want me to only marry her. So I'm taking her back from you!""She's not a thing, Fiore!" I howled. I was running out of patience. "You asked me to let her fall for me—""I did! And you didn't win her at all. She still loves me, Xylon. You had your chance and you blew it all off."I was embarrassed by what he stressed out and I immediately fell silent. Everything wasn't enough for Miranda to also see me like the way she looks at Fiore. I could never change the shape of her heart.

Forgive Himself"Son, Fiore came by and brought his lawyer here."I was alarmed by what dad announced when I arrived home. I was gone for a week to complete all of the lines of my compositions."Dad, we've already discussed this." I looked at him seriously.My father is a jolly, upbeat sort of a person. But he seems to be having a hard time talking to me right now. I discerned this is going to be bad.“He requested that we sign a contract, which we did—""Why did you sign!" I raised my voice in panic. My hands landed on the table in front of the two of us. I couldn't contain the anger I was feeling inside me.

There was an intravenous attached to her hand when I entered her room. She was sedated. Exhaustion was noticeable on her hollow cheek."How are you son?” Dad patted me on the shoulder.“I’m okay, Dad. How did mum end up here?”“Son, your mother was unable to accept that our company has failed. In a week, the bank will confiscate all our assets."I frowned. "Dad, that's not possible. They should have

His Past"Congratulations, Xylon! You're the man, dude. You’ve beaten Ilarde again!" I dodged Kiko's blow. We’re in the same class in Earthquake Engineering."Dude, not only did Satyr beat Fiore. Do you remember way back before? Fiore was also considered by the principal to be the highest honours, but Xylon still reaped the award," Hamin said. He handed me a glass of speculoos beer."He also got Academic Excellence from DepEd, right? How could Fiore win over Xylon Diaz? Aside from being a babe magnet, he's equally talented." Peter tapped my shoulder, and I put down the glass of drink. "I heard your new composition was lined up under Nebula Records, ah! What the heck? You write songs. You sing. What else can you do, man? You can dig everything!"
