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 second kiss, but Cara is the first girl I've ever kissed. The moment's magic left me wondering why it felt so irresistible yet undeniably fantastic!

I could feel her avidity as her lips moved on mine, and I couldn't deny that I liked it. It made me retaliate. Her taste caused me to be weak, trapped in its underlying love spell.

Why?! Why do I feel like I'm being cradled in a cloud?

I wanted to push her, but my body froze. The back of my mind was protesting, telling me that it wasn't right, but my traitor self seemed to surrender and did not want to stop the moment.

Her hand slightly squeezes my waist, causing what seems to be electrified. I like it too. That's killing me.

Why?! Why am I so excited for her?

Her touch made me ask for more.

"We can't do this. This is amiss..." I said softly at the same time as I disentangled from her touch, pushing her away. Our tearful eyes met.

"This is wrong, Cara. Your brother is my husband. It's not right between us to have something we might regret." I managed to say in a low tone but screaming inside.

"Do you think I'm not aware?! Numb?! Huh!? Daphne. You have no idea how I tried so hard not to sense the feelings of..." She halted from there... Focusing her sight on me.

"I scarcely come home anymore. Mostly spend my time outside, where your presence is out, but motherfucker! You are worse than a leech, lingering through my mind, heart, and soul wherever I go. I can't get you off my system. What do you want me to do?!

I think I'm drowning... so hard that it's too late to back off... I love you, Daph. You? Do you love me too? What do you genuinely feel for me? You're so kind to me. You always care for me. And I hate it dreadfully because that's when I gradually tumbled, falling in love with you!"

For a moment, I was speechless and didn't know what to say to her. Even I asked myself, what is Cara to me?

I'm confused and don't want to see her hurt, struggling like this, but I also think about Craig. I need Craig, too.

"What? Why can't you speak? Do you love me? Or do you love my brother more? Or do you love both of us? What?! Give me an answer, please!" Her eyes are fixated, pleading, but I'm helpless.

"I'm going nuts thinking about why all this is happening. Why do you have this kind of effect on me? Torture, Daphne. I believe you also contributed an impact that made me fall in love with you.

Am I right? There is no way I am the only one suffering, tormented by these suffocating feelings of mine. It's impossible to like you for no reason suddenly. So, tell me, Daph.. Do you love me?? Or at least tell me if you feel something too..."

Cara's words are like a bomb that instantly dropped before me and shockingly exploded without warning.

My brain is in a mess as it will burst out of uncertainty with many queries. I do not know. I don't really know anymore.

"That's enough! Please... I have nothing to say... I don't know anymore what I feel... I don't know anymore what is real and what is not... I shouldn't let myself weaved into this. I shouldn't have accepted the setup in the first place.

You made me do it, Cara. And now. Now, I don't even recognize myself. I don't know myself anymore. Is that enough of an answer? Huh?! Please just... just leave me alone. I have to think, and I need to breathe."

She turned away from me in tears, and it felt like my heart was being crumpled.

I can't bear to consider that I will never see her again. My tears rolled down my pale cheeks.

As I was watching her walking away, my heart could not beat. It felt like It was gonna stop any moment.

My feet trembled, and it seemed to do something stupid, but even my mind and self were on it. All of me have the same desire.

I snapped, running towards her. I hauled her into my arms by the waist, hugging her tight from behind, and I didn't want to free her.

I heard her sob as our bodies became one. "Don't go, Cara.... I-I don't know what to do if I never see your face again. Can you stay?! Please.." Begging as if my whole life depended on it.

She then turns to face me. Our eyes again met as we held each other. Cara gaps before she opens her mouth, slowly moving closer to mine.

Again, our lips touched. My eyes gradually closed as we shifted, kissing profoundly and losing our air.

"What the heck is happening here?!" A shout knocked us off, shocked by the sudden appearance of Craig.

We both froze and just looked at Craig. "I love her, brother and... and Daphne... I know. I believe... I feel... She loves me too..."

Cara is fucking right. I love her. I can't lose her, but Craig will leave me for this. How could I handle that? I love him, too. And our journey had just started.

I abruptly distance myself from Cara, approaching Craig.

"Listen... It's nothing, my love. It was a mistake. We... We are out of our right mind. I can explain..." I exclaimed, looking into his eyes, but I saw Cara moving her way out.

That very moment, I was dismantled. My whole being seemed ripped harshly, and I could die drastically from my stand.

A dilemma...

I was just gonna accompany you, heading to work. Even that I'm not allowed to?" Disappointedly, the young man said. He has been falling head over heels with Rose for two years, even though they don't have a thing. "Can't you just mind your life and leave mine?." Rose protested, then continued walking. Daryl followed silently. When she reached the club, Daryl's feet stopped spontaneously.He never went in there because he didn't want to see the different men hanging around Rose.He gulped as the sweat dripped down his face."Oh, the queen of the night is here." A woman like Rose said. "Why are you late?" Her friend asked her."Better to be late than never," Rose replied. She went straight to her seat after entering their quarters as the club's dressing room. She put the bag down and then took out the makeup."A lot of peop

    "When are you going to stop? Huh? Don't you intend to settle down for good?" Rose looked away and went to her room. Daryl also followed. "Talk to me, Rose. Is this really the life you want? How many more men will pass you by? Don't you feel sorry for yourself??" Daryl raised his voice. His whole body trembled with the depth of emotion he felt at that time. "What do you want, Daryl? What's not clear to you? Huh? You! Don't you feel sorry for yourself? How many more times do I have to push you away? Is everything you see not enough to stop bothering me?? I'm a dirty girl, Daryl.. There are many girls out there that suits you.." Rose's eyes spoke. Daryl's gaze stayed on Rose. He held both of Rose's shoulders. "I love you.. I hope it's as easy as you want it to be. Do you think I'll take this long to catch up with you if I can stay away from you?! Do you think I want the stupidity I'm doing? But what can I do, Rose?

Among all her customers, Ferit was different because he promised her a good life. She hoped the man would marry her and take her to Turkey, but when she was probably pregnant, the man disappeared and never showed up."Mother! Mother!" She shouted as she felt the sudden pain in her belly. "What is it? The noise has reached the house next door..." She said as she approached Rose, who couldn't paint her face. "It's about to come out.. Ah!!" It screamed, writhing in pain. "Wait... Shit! What am I going to do.." Her mother panicked and left the room. It dialed the phone quickly. "What?!" Alright.. I'm on my way.." Daryl answered worriedly.In less than 15 mins, Daryl was in front of the house. "Man, just wait.." He said to the taxi driver and hurried inside. "Mother!

    Today is Daphne's first day as a waitress at the club where Rose works. Primitively, Daphne didn't know what to do. Eventually, the job became easy for her, taking orders, bringing food to the table, and cleaning stuff, except for talking to drunken customers."Miss, can you sit with me and perhaps show some extra service..?" Someone said to Daphne. The girl's chest promptly heaved. "I'm just a waiter here.." She stuttered, talking back, and immediately left as she placed the bucket of Pilsen on the table.As the days passed, Mother Lili noticed that Daphne became the apple of the eye of every customer who spent nights at the club.The others even come back often just to see and fantasize about Daphne."Hey, Amiga.." Monique gasped when she saw Rose."Oh? What's up?" Rose answered while looking in the direction of her daughter. She was leaning on the pole of the countertop of the bar."What came into your mind, and you put my goddaughter to work here?!""What's wrong with that? It's o

I thought you were smart. Why don't you use your brain now? Huh? Your life will be fine, baby... Listen to me. I know better what will be good for you..." no "I don't want it, Mother..." Daphne whined. Rose turned back with her hand falling. She couldn't stop the tears from flowing down both her cheeks. "I'm so tired, Daphne.. Please.. You're my only hope to get out of this miserable life. What will you do in return for all my sacrifices to raise you? Is this how you're going to repay?" "But Mother, I can work.." # # # # In so much fear, Daphne was not in the right frame, leading to a terrible decision she would ever make at her young age. Daphne strongly decided to leave while her mother was fast asleep. She brought the bag that her mother had packed earlier. She wandered on the road a

    Cara got bored, waiting for Daphne to go down, so she followed her into the room. She looked over at Daphne, who was sleeping soundly. "Hmmm.. She's quite pretty.. Huh.." She smiled while crossing her arms."Am I going to wake you up or what? We need to talk.." Cara spoke to herself, still peeking at Daphne. She snorted and walked around the room. After a while, Daphne woke up."I'm sorry, Miss Cara, I fell asleep.." Cara faced her."No, it's fine. I'm sorry I woke you up, but it's right because we need to talk. It's about the job I'm going to offer you, Daphne. If you are still interested, of course.." As she spoke, her curly hair seemed to sway. "Yes. I'm interested. Any job.. I will not be fastidious, Miss Cara.. as I badly needed it." "First.. stop being so formal. Our age gap is just a little bit.." She explained to Daphne with a smile. "Alright, Miss Cara.." Daphne said hesitantly. "Remove the Miss. I may look old.." "I'm sorry.. O-okay." Daphne said back."So, do you prefer

    As Daphne refused the offer, she went back on the street, wandering around, but nothing exactly to look out for. She could hear her belly grumbling, touching it as it felt so frustrating that she was drawn in to go back but lifted her head and shook to stand on what she thinks is best. "I told you it won't work, Cara.." Craig said in dismay, staring at his sister and then walking out. Cara just sighed but still thinking the other way around. As she always does, choosing to play around rather than put herself under pressure. "Cara...." A husky voice interrupted her busy mind at the bar. "Hey.. What a coincidence, hmm." She said prominently. The guy just chuckled in a catchy tone, lowering his gaze as if admitting she was right. "So, I guess you already know me.. Come on, Cara. I like you. Didn't I miss making you feel? Don't you have the same way?" "Hmmm.." Cara is humming, nodding with a pretty smile fixed on her lips."I do feel the same way, Dilton, but you have known me for

    [DAPHNE YILDIZ] I could not do anything but accept my destiny. Despite the thought of wanting just to die, I still tried to strive, walking nonstop, trying to find something I could use in my struggling journey at the dump of garbage. My feet are shaking... My head hurts because of how many days I have been without anything to sustain my body. I seem to lose hope and even myself, near to losing my sanity. I look around, but nothing to see. A sudden drop of water seems to stir me up. It's about to rain. I abruptly haste, partly running to hide somewhere, but then the rain poured so harshly that it totally soaked me underneath. My mouth is already catching the falling rain due to so much thirst. Thankfully, it wetted my dried throat. I'm like a pitiful creature who has forcibly adapted to its surroundings. A few moments later, my stomach grumbled again. I was overwhelmed by the street restaurants. I feel so hungry that I want to grab any food I see.I feel like I just want to do b

    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

    "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

    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

    [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

    [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.

    [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

    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

    "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,

    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
