"Why did you keep this from us, Mir?" Auntie Pat held both of my hands. I didn't answer. I bit my lips and tilted my head to hide my tears.
"That arsehole! You should’ve told us earlier, so we could also beat him," Caleb growled behind.
"No, Caleb. Don't be like your father. I stopped him from following you but he was stubborn. He should've controlled his temper."
"I couldn’t just keep quiet and tolerate what that man did to our niece, Nena. He must prepare himself because I'm not done with him yet. I'm going to file a charge against him!"
I wiped my tears with the back of my hand and looked outside the window.
"Now I understan

Chase After Him"Are you sure about that, Sheena? He's about to leave today?" Caleb was speaking to Sheena on the phone. He was walking towards my station.I started a job with Camish and Caleb one week after we returned from the resort. I need to keep myself busy or I will blow my mind in despair.Auntie Pat requested me to rest and take a break, but I just couldn't. I will only think back on everything if I stay home and feel more miserable than ever."Your brother is really stupid, you know!" Caleb caught my eye. My heart was pounding just hearing about Sheena's brother."He agreed on a two-year contract? He didn't even talk to Miranda before taking that job. I thought you said he's madly i

Too LateSheena was already at the entrance area and waiting for us when we arrived. My heart beats so fast. My forehead was sweating while my hands were getting cold. Even my feet were trembling."Caleb!" Sheena automatically clung her arms to Caleb and the two quickly hugged each other."Where's your brother?" Camish asked.Sheena slipped out of Caleb's embrace, a sad expression on her face. The way she looked at me meant only one thing."He's gone, Miranda,” she shook her head. “He left an hour ago."I feel like a burning candle that will melt in an instant. I held on to Camish’s arm to gain some strength. He immediately assist

We’ve already moved into our rooms. I wanted to return to Manila, but Caleb insisted on staying for the time being. He didn't want to just leave Sheena once again. Especially that Mother Nena was still unsettled.The air was fresh and clean. I focused on the scenic view outside the window. The birds were flying around, getting ready for the dawn. Many tourists were wandering around the resort enjoying their stay. But I don't see any reason why I should stay here longer.I sighed deeply. I'm staying in the same room. The exact location where we became so passionate with each other. I turned around and saw the plain white bed sheet that was neatly folded. It was the same bed where we practically made love.I shut my eyes. I could still see Xylon's face even with my eyes closed. I took my white jacket that was ha

Just a ShadowHere I was standing. At the very same place where I had been with Xylon for a few days. The ancient, large prehistoric house in the middle of the woods. I thought it was remote, secluded and almost inaccessible to the general public. Yet I didn't even walk one kilometre from Diaz's resort to get here.The place, which I estimated to be more than twenty years old. I'm here. Once again.I entered through the large gate. Like it was just yesterday. When I woke up in the morning, I was drenched in sweat. And the coldness at night that always made me shiver.I walked slowly to the marbled floor. I remembered the antique furniture, including chairs and tables that reminded me of ancient civilizations. The Egyptian paintings and sc

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!"

Seduce Her"Kuya Xylon!" Sheena hugged me as soon as I arrived at the district hospital."How's Mum?" I asked worriedly.Sheena told me that mum has to stay here for a few days. 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

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.

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.
