LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 23 Nothing Wrong with Being Yourself
Cara and I sat on a big rock in the shade so we could talk properly. She threw me a smile before opening her mouth. "Craig and I were just kids when I noticed our parents always fought over something. I don't know why. Craig and I are very close. He's like my best friend, Daphne," she started like reading me a story."We love to have fun and explore things. There are times when I dress him in my clothes, and I'm glad because I see him happy. Sometimes, we also play with my makeup kits," smiling as she delivers every single word. "..I thought that was normal until Dad saw us, and he was outraged and was beating Craig. I cried a lot 'cause I felt like it was my fault Dad hit him. I didn't know what was happening back then." From what Cara was saying, it gradually became clear in my mind why their parents made such a condition in the will.I think their Father purposely did that, so until the end, Craig would be forced to straighten himself out. At that point, I was hurting for Craig
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 24 Odd Feelings
WHEN I was given a chance, I approached Zekiel to talk to him, and we apologized to one another regarding how we had behaved earlier. I learned that He didn't fully accept his brother being gay, but I could tell he loved him because of how he defended him to me. Maybe life is like that. Some things are hard to understand, but in the end, true love still prevails. I believe when the time is right, Zekiel will bravely accept his brother wholeheartedly. On that day, his heart will finally be at peace and happy. "So, you did it well?" Cara unexpectedly turned up behind me, placing her arm around my shoulder.We are now at the hotel where we booked our rooms for the rest of the day."Where have you been?" I asked, ignoring her words. "I just checked the room. Aren't you hungry yet?" She's right. Honestly, I'm starving to death as we haven't eaten anything since morning. Cara just chuckled when she heard my tummy groan. "I guess that's a yes," referring to the sound from my belly. We
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 25 Feelings That Starting to Prosper
We were all at the swimming pool when a man caught my awareness. I thought the whole place was rented, so why was there an intruder?What frankly snagged my attention was when he went to Cara, who was now lying on the sun lounger. My eyebrows arched, and I immediately felt annoyed when the two started talking. Cara sat up from lying down, and the man sat down next to her and almost touched their skin. In an instant, my chest beat faster when the man kissed her. I got out of the pool and directly left the place after getting my towel on another sun lounger next to Cara's. What a lovely view?! "Daphne! Wait!" I heard her call, so I hurried. It doesn't make sense 'cause she knows where I'm going. "Hey! Why did you suddenly leave?" Cara asked me, but I ignored her and just went straight to my bag to get clothes to change. "Are you done swimming?" I didn't say a word and went to the bathroom. I acted like I didn't hear anything or she was not around. I was inside for a long time, s
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 26 Love is Messy
"Hey! Stop drinking," I was already tipsy or perhaps drunk when Cara decided to show up and join us. Just a while ago, Zammy was the one sitting beside me. Now it was Cara who's being a pain in the ass. As usual, Cara being Cara. "What's your problem?" Slightly, I raised my voice. I'm still in the mode of being upset. God knows why. "Who let her drink too much?" I heard her ask my friends. Why does she care? "Miss Cara, Daphne is so hard to stop drinking, especially if she's mad." I giggled at Ziggy's comment. How did she say that if I barely drink? "Why would I be mad? Why??" I continued to drink and didn't let Cara take away my cup. "How about you?" I turn to face Cara with all the courage I got. Thanks for the help of liquor. She didn't answer. Instead, try to persuade me. "If you are fucking jealous, just admit it! Why do you need to make bullshit excuses? Why?" I don't know what I'm saying anymore, but that's what's inside my heart. "Stop this, Daphne. You ar
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 27 Odds that Must Ignore
WHEN we left the room, Cara and I went straight to the dining hall. Everyone was already there, waiting for us. My eyes spotted Zammy, who was ready to leave, so I strode toward her. "I don't know what you told your sister-in-law to talk to me, Daphne, but thank you," she squeezed my arm. I smiled back at her as I was glad they had fixed their unfinished issues from the past. "Are you really not going to eat first?" I asked her in a defeated tone. I would have liked her to stay so I could learn more about Cara as they have known each other longer. There are probably many more opportunities. Besides, we are friends already on f@cebook, so anytime I can beep her up to ask her out or to have her join my friends and me. "I've overeaten already earlier when we were having a drinking session, so I may need to stop now," she explained with a giggle, stroking her tummy, but I just frowned. Is she conscious of her body? 'cause she doesn't have to worry about that. She's damn hot
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 28 Moving On
I looked at the clock when I woke up. It's almost lunch. It was already dawn when I hit the sack last night 'cause I finished the k drama I was watching. Aside from plants, that's my other way to let time pass or divert myself. After I washed and brushed my teeth and put on my bra, I left the room. There's no class, so I'm considering what can be done today. I remembered the last conversation Zammy and I had in Messenger. She offered to teach me how to drive. Zekiel did offer too, but I doubted 'cause I'm worried someone may see us, they might think I was cheating on my husband. I don't want to ruin everything. Besides, I must overcome those nine years left to regain my freedom. I caught up with Craig and Cara talking in the living room when I got downstairs. "Where are you going? When will you have an interest in running the company, Cara?" I perceive they are having a serious talk. "You know that's not for me, Craig. You'll take care of that," Cara explained and was about to
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 29 Love is Selfish Sometimes
Everything went according to my plan. Craig and Eroz did get back together. The four of us were happy, laughing when we arrived home. We came from a dinner in a prestigious restaurant and watched the gigs of a popular band in the country. We did a lot of things throughout the day, and I witnessed how pleased Craig was, even just holding hands with Eroz secretly when they had a chance to touch each other. "What's going on here?" Cara exposed herself when Zammy opened the main door. The four of us looked at each other and then chuckled a bit. "You are still alive," I uttered, mocking her, then averted my gaze. It's been a few days since we haven't appropriately spoken or seen each other, even inside the house. Before Cara could utter again, I hit Zammy. "So, when are you going to teach me how to drive," I asked with a broad smile and a tone of excitement. My hand landed on her waist, too. "Hi, sister." I heard Craig greet Cara, but I felt her stare was on me. We were already in
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 30 Having an Understanding
Somehow, Cara's presumption is valid. I won't deny that I've been a bit dependent on Zammy these past few days, as Cara seems to have forgotten about me. I felt sad and alone all of a sudden. From the very beginning, Cara was the reason why my marriage to Craig became less heavy in the end 'cause I held on to what she said and promised... Cara will stay beside me, that she won't leave me, that she will take care of me, that she won't let me be alone. I depended on her the entire time, even if I didn't plan all along. I suddenly felt like that, and I got used to leaning on her.This vast house that can't really be called home isn't so sad because of Cara.I was eager to head home after school, hoping that I would have a chance to catch up with her. I could endure to stay in this empty place because of her. "Hey! Are you crying?" I turned my back on her and quickly wiped away the tears I didn't realize were falling.It looked like the gathered and stuck dudgeon suddenly escaped from

LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 52
It was challenging to leave Cara, but I had to, despite not wanting to protect the company she built and worked hard for. Even though our time apart would be brief, it felt like an eternity. I entrusted Kazzy to look after her, knowing she would provide excellent care. We have made plans to Facetime daily to bridge the distance and alleviate the feeling of being away. Since arriving discreetly in Spain two days ago, my mind didn't leave Cara. Craig made an excuse for a leave of absence as he needed time for us. We must go together to avoid suspicion. However, my heart yearns to be back with the woman I love. If I could just do things fast, I would. "Are you ready?" I stood up to meet him with confidence when I heard his voice. We rented a hostel that was not eye-catcher to proceed with the plan. "Of course. I have to be." I assured him despite my initial doubts about becoming a mother at a young age. I know that I am capable of embracing this new chapter in my li
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 51 Another Wave
"Daph, I'm really concerned that you might get sick if you keep this up." I was lost in thought when a familiar voice broke through. It's been a whole week now, and I haven't left the hospital once. It's starting to feel like a second home to me, but not in a good way. It's as if I checked in, and there's no check-out date in sight. My attention shifted from Cara to Craig as he walked in, looking like he just got off work. "Have you eaten?" I asked, not paying attention to his words from earlier. He seemed like he was neglecting himself already due to his heavy workload. I didn't want him to end up in a hospital bed, either. "Let's not change the subject. I'm serious. If something happens to you, my sister will never forgive me. Worst.. She will definitely, no doubt, kill me." I stood up to tend him but felt unsteady. Luckily, Craig quickly caught me before my face hit the floor. "This is exactly my point!" He said firmly. "You're asking if I've eaten, but you're sk
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 50 Graduation Day
A few months passed, and Cara still didn't wake up, but I never dared to give up or stop hoping that one day she would come back.. to me. She needs to come back to know how much I love her. That I am ready to love her completely, love only her. "Daphne.. Why don't you take a break? Go home. Rest assured, I'll keep an eye on her." Craig uttered, patting my back, but I don't want to. "No.. She might open her eyes today. I don't want her to think I'm not on her side." "Of course not. Cara will not think that way, Daphne. She knows you. You know each other well." He said those with a bit of a laugh in the end. "You guys are like twins. Something connects your gut. Okay." For an instant, I come to think of it. "Besides, don't you have class tomorrow?" He's right, and I'm kind of losing track of my Acads as my focus was on Cara's recovery. "Fine.." I lifted my hands in defeat. "..But call me asap when she gains consciousness." Craig nodded. From that day forward, Cara is a sl
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 49 In A White Room
[DAPHNE WHITE]When I got conscious and gradually opened my eyes, I instantly closed it again 'cause of the pang in my head. I held on to it. "Don't move yet." I should have gotten up. There was this urge I could not stop from igniting within me. I must see Cara before it's too late. "Where's Cara? I have to go see Cara!!." I screamed out at the top of my lungs as I cupped my bandaged head. I heard Craig sigh, an indication that something terrible had happened. "Please, Craig. I need to talk to Cara. I can't lose her." I begged, trying to take off my bed. "Yes, Daphne. I understand you, but in these times, you have to put yourself first. Get well first." What I perceived was not processed in my brain. All I could think of was Cara. I have to stop her from leaving me for good. "You don't understand me, Craig. I can't lose Cara. She needs to hear what I have to say." I feel like I'm losing her. I seem to be late, messing things up, and I could not afford that to happen. This time
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 48 A Dilemma
[DAPHNE YILDIZ WHITE] "Let me help you," I said, not heeding her words that seemed like a knife that could easily make me bleed. "Stop, Daphne! Just... Just go away. Get out!" She struggled with my touch. "Alright. Alright. I'll leave you alone after this." I just want to help her change and feel comfortable so she can go to sleep. "You are not listening, Daphne. I said leave!" She pointed to the door out. I gulp and freeze on my stand. This is the first time Cara has driven me away. She must be distraught by me. I couldn't do anything but follow her because I was already feeling pain from her sudden treatment. THE FOLLOWING DAY.. As I stepped out of my room, I was thrilled to see Cara heading out. We were so engrossed in our own thoughts that we accidentally collided. Our eyes locked, and in that moment, time seemed to stand still. Without a word, Cara drew nearer, and before I knew it, we were wrapped in a warm embrace, sharing a heartfelt kiss. This was only my s
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 47 Your Own Worst Enemy
[DAPHNE YILDIZ WHITE] We just finished our two classes, and we are now heading to the cafeteria. While walking, my mind was too preoccupied. It's been two days since Cara unleashed her true feelings towards me, loving me romantically, in exactly fine words. It's just a simple fact, yet it seems like a storm that literally washed the hell out of me. Suddenly, my world had gone wild enough to sabotage my sanity continuously. I'm so fucking confused about what to feel anymore. What exactly is inside my chest? Is this just a phase that, as days go by, it will all pass? The day Zammy asked Cara if she likes me and I found out that I was only a responsibility and obligation to Cara, I felt terrible. Now that Cara said she loves me, I still can't get what my heart really yearns for. This is fucking fucked up damn shit.... "What's with the long face, Daph?" Bridgette's brows knitted as we settled in our seats. The noise surrounding us was like nothing, as chaos ran through my w
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 46 Confession
From the stairs, I already smelled the aroma of something that was definitely coming from the kitchen as I got to see the dining still empty. I walk through it, following what my nose lingers with. "Good morning." I heard her greet me without even paying gaze on me. How did she sense my presence as I stepped soundless? "G-good morning," I respond, stuttering. I can see that she's in the mood, literally not sick at all. What a trap, Daphne. You, indeed, know how to tame me. Lucky for you.. What bad luck for me. I was taken aback when she suddenly turned around, facing me while holding a spoon. "Taste it, Cara." Hesitantly, I still obeyed her, opening my mouth. I swallow and lick. "Not bad." Her brows wrinkled in awe. "You don't like it?" I just hissed, turning my back on her. Everything about her... I don't just like it. I love it, except for her mixed signals. Her confusing motif, actions, and behavior.Before I could go far away, she already stood in front of me. "Tell me
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 45 Love Trance
"The fuck! You are going, Cara." Kazzy yelled at my back after I said to Daphne that I'd be home, just give me a half hour, and don't sleep yet. "I'm sorry, Kazzy, but I have to go. She's sick." I explained, walking inside to grab my things. "Sorry for your damn self, Cara. And please.. She won't die. It's just a simple sickness. Oh Gosh!" I just threw her a 'my decision is final.' look. "I love her. I will always put her on top of my priorities." Before I turned my back to her, I saw her sympathetic face as if saying that tonight was my funeral. When I reached home, I went directly to my room. Abruptly, I come closer to the woman who's lying in the bed. "Hey... Are you alright? Did you drink your medicine already? Since when have you been vomiting? Did you consult the doctor already? What did they say?" Non-stop, I murmured as I sat beside her after she lifted to tend me, leaning on the headboard. She did not say any words and slowly caressed my cheek. Her eyes were red,
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 44 Love In A Muddle
Many days had passed like a breeze without seeing Cara. As time went on, I couldn't bear to be without her presence, so I thought of going to her office, to pay her a surprise visit. I was walking in the hallway and was about to open her office door when I was stopped. She was with another woman. It's not Kazzy because I know her voice anyway. Perhaps her assistant or whoever. I didn't think about it anymore and just went in."What's happening?" Suddenly, my heart beat faster when I saw someone sitting on her lap. They stood up together, but the image of their previous position was left in my mind. "What are you doing here, Daphne?" I can't speak suddenly. It was as if something blocked my throat. My chest is tense up. I don't like how I feel. "Nothing in particular.. I just brought you lunch. I barely see you at the mansion, so I thought of coming here. Alright, I'm leaving." I quickly turned around after placing what I was holding on her table because my tears were about to fa
