"Are you deaf? I already said I'm not coming, how many times do you want me to shout ?!" I shouted while sitting in the vanity chair and facing the vanity mirror. I frowned while glaring at my unpleasant reflection.The party ended early last night and there was even an after party at our infinity pool above. Dad had the bar fixed there before my debut so Brianna invited me and even brought the LCIU varsities. There were other San Carlos and UC natives we knew and I didn’t expect to go. It was already morning when we finished. I just know I had to distract myself with them to not waste my 18th birthday."And why? Just because you didn't get a facial yesterday?" Kuya Sage asked. I'm sure he's leaning against my door since his voice is a bit clear but not so loud. You think I debuted without a facial yesterday and then we're leaving again today?I rolled my eyes in the air. I can't believe he's talking casually to me again, after forcing me to break up with my first love. Gone the seri
After that conversation, I just focused my attention on the stage, it was the owner of this newly built hotel Marco Cielo who's talking."He's one of your godfathers, a close friend of mine," Daddy whispered to me and I nodded.Many photographers and reporters approached us to take a little statement from daddy about the next election. Many hoped that he would run for mayor of Cebu but he did not accept that because he was satisfied and busy with our company.Some asked me to take a picture and offered to feature me in their magazine as the heir to the largest shares in LCGC. I smiled softly and replied,"Thank you, but, I'm actually not eyeing for the CEO's position yet, as much as I can, I'd like to start from the bottom and buy shares along the way. My dad can still manage the company while I'm learning." I replied and they nodded.They have many more questions and I answered them one by one. When they left I turned to dad to say goodbye,"I'll just be in the rest room," I whispere
When I opened my eyes, the familiar color of the hospital greeted me. I frowned and roamed my eyes and saw Wyatt sitting and stooping, probably asleep. He was folded and his tux was hunged on the seat next to him.We were in a room and there were apparatus next to the bed but that didn’t connect to me because I just slept and I wasn’t in pain. When I remembered daddy I quickly rolled over and that created a noise in bed so Wyatt woke up as well."Bernice," he called and stood up while rubbing his eyes with one hand.I ignored him and went straight out of the bed, I no longer put on my heels and turned to walk out of the room."Bernice!" I heard him follow and when I came out I went straight to the emergency room.I saw the familiar doctor so I approached him. When he saw me he was stunned and didn't seem to know what to do."Doc," I called while panting, "I .. I'm sorry for earlier, I wasn't thinking straight." I'm sorry, he stared at me and I also don't know what I look like now beca
Tw: Self harm———To my recollection, I always get what I want, I don’t do anything wrong and I don’t step on other people. I lived in luxury and did not experience poverty. I am the happy go lucky princess of La Cuevas.But is there an adopted princess? Not a real child? An orphan?I was dumbfounded watching my reflection in the mirror. My eyes are swelling and sadness shows on my face. I still can’t believe it all happened at once. I feel like I’m so tired.I heard the vibration of my cellphone so I reached for it lazily. There were messages from Cora and Brianna that I was looking for because I hadn’t felt it in a long time.I sighed and threw the cellphone on the bed. I looked at my wall clock and noticed the time. I got up and went out of my room to go down and get daddy's medicine.There were medicines and vitamins ready based on dad’s drinking time so I didn’t have a hard time finding that in the kitchen. I carried them on a tray along with a glass of water and climbed up again
I came out of the room wearing a brown long sleeve sweater to cover my cut on the wrist, and black shorts. No matter how much I wanted to disappear and give up, I couldn’t. What if I still have a family? What if they are looking for me? How did I get here?I stayed at home for a few days, I rarely left the room but I never forgot daddy's medicine.How much more I want to know, see and get to know. I still have a lot to do. I realized all that when I almost fainted the other day while losing blood.There was no one in the living room and I knew dad and I were in the room now. I rolled my eyes and walked over to the kitchen to eat."Is it true?""I don't know, I just heard sirs talking earlier about the result of their dna .."My walk slowed spontaneously when I heard our kitchen helpers talking. So the test results are out now."Did you see him? She's a very beautiful lady, she looks like ma'am Francheska.""I didn't expect she was alive, didn't that girl die in the fire?"I frowned wh
I was lying while staring at the number given by Wyatt yesterday, he said tomorrow Aries will return to Palawan. I can't explain how I feel every time I think of him, I really can't believe he's my older brother. That's why he was kind to me even though he looked rude.Did he know that I was his brother when we met in Palawan then? He approached me first, but I don't think he knew me already that time. Hay ewan. Add to that the courage to ask him if he was flirting with me at the event in Manila. Embarrassing! He has a girlfriend, Tatiana. Well I'm not sure, but friends don't kiss right?So my family is in Palawan? Do we have a dad? Or mom? Are they still alive? I miss my mom .. my heart seemed to pound when I remembered how she took care of me then. I miss the feeling of being sheltered and babied by a woman.After we talked to Wyatt yesterday I let him go, yes and I love him but I still can’t get rid of the pain caused by his lying. I don't know .. maybe because the fact that he's s
"Lea .. wake up,"My forehead furrowed and I slowly opened my eyes. I was greeted by my older brother's bright but serious face.I covered my mouth to yawn because I was still drowsy, "We're here." He said so the excitement ran through my body.I looked out the window and saw the big house painted white and black. It's not as big as our mansion in Cebu but just from the looks of it I can say it's beautiful.Brother Aries came down and turned to open the door for me. I smiled even though I was still confused because I just woke up. When I got out, my older brother took my suitcase from the back of the car and carried it."It's me," I pretended but he avoided me and motioned for me to move forward. When I didn't move a corner of his lip rose and he walked ahead.I swallowed and slowly followed him. My hands were clasped in front of me and my stomach seemed to writhe. Shit, I'm so nervous I feel like I'm going to have diarrhea.The older brother opened the black gate and entered first. I
I woke up early even though I didn't sound the alarm, I felt light and very comfortable in the bed I was sleeping in.I smiled as a little light flashed in my room coming from the still -closed window. It has a curtain but it is white so it is bright inside.I got up and walked over there to draw the curtains. Somewhat shaded glass of its windows, I opened them as well and saw there was the garden below if I peeked out. My room here doesn't have a balcony but I didn't need it then so it's okay.Dad was there watering the plants while singing. I smiled as I watched him, I heard a knock on my door so I approached it.It was Tatiana with her floral off shoulder dress, it looked like she was just taking a bath."Did I wake you up?" She asked and examined my whole being. I was still asleep and my hair was definitely messy so I was embarrassed to smile and grabbed my hair."No, I'm actually going to take a bath too. Ahm .. will we continue going to .. uh, m-mama?" Stuttering, I asked becaus
This is the last chapter. Thank you for supporting my stories. — Jojissi———"That girl's head is really stubborn, can you go after her? Just make sure she gets home before 2 because dad is coming home." I grab my jack and coke while looking at the woman who just finished dancing her ass off the dancefloor."Sure, send me her picture. I haven't met her for years." I reasoned, but the truth is, I really have no idea how does this Azalea looks like. I don't know if Sage knew about her true identity but I don't wanna meddle."Okay wait," Sage ended the call to send me the picture of his 'sister'. I heaved a sigh while looking at that woman, when she walked her way back to their couch while answering her phone, I followed her with my eyes as I took a sip on my drink.I just got here in La Cuevas because I received a message from Loren that I need to be here until his wedding day so I let engineer Torres to take charge of our project in Manila. Aside from that, I also wanna meet the girl w
"Why are you busy looking at nowhere?" I was startled when Cora suddenly appeared beside me. When I looked back at our companions inside I saw that they were busy talking to Tatiana. They were like thirsty people who saw water so I laughed.I turned to Cora and nodded, "Nothing," I replied.She just stared at me and sighed. We are now standing in the garden and I'm spacing out looking at the flowers. Luke is in the living room with kuya and papa. I still feel bad about him, but I really hope that El Nido would help him clear his mind."I can't believe it. Where is Wyatt? You didn't wake him up?" She asked.I smiled bitterly, "He's gone." I answer that he stopped."Condolence." I quickly frowned and slapped her on the arm. "Aw .. I'm just kidding!" He nodded and stared at me."You knock." I ordered so his forehead also knitted."What? You believe that?""Just knock!" I ordered so he did nothing but knock on the table near us."Oh that's okay? You want me to knock on all the doors here
"Your jaw just dropped." I said so Cora blinked and closed her mouth.They were making noise while I was telling a story and now no one wants to talk.Luke came out earlier to answer someone's call on the phone so we can talk freely now. I told them everything that had happened, from the harassment to me, to the fact that I was adopted, my real family, and I also told them about my relationship with Wyatt back then because I had no escape."I can't believe what you've done, isn't there a non-couple that kiss?" Cora asked so Brianna smirked at her."Yes bitch" he replied so Cora was stunned. "But admit it, did something happened to you? You've been here for a few days and you're only two, it's impossible not to!" She asked me an exaggerated question so I blinked."Of course not! i-I'm not like that!" I defended so their eyes narrowed. "Not really! Nothing happened!" I was still screaming and slightly remorseful because Luke might hear me outside."Even if you die?" At once they said."Y
Chapter 33I was just upstairs when I could smell the breakfast Wyatt was cooking. I went straight to the kitchen and folded my arms in the distance when I saw his figure. He didn't have any clothes on but he was wearing an apron, he had his back to me so I could freely examine his wide back.When he turned to face me I blinked and quickly averted my gaze. "Hey wife, you sit down." He said with a smile so I frowned."Wife your face." I said and frowned to sit on the high chair.He just grinned and sighed. "I wa just practicing, how rude.." He complained and put the dishes he had cooked on the plate.I secretly laughed and blew some air. As he walked closer he was carrying fried eggs, bacon and sausages. He laid it down on the countertop and went back to the kitchen.I smelled them and nodded softly. Not bad. He returned with two plates, and rice. He also took a spoon and fork. I have already put rice on my plate and none of my own I have also put his.It was too late when I realized w
"Have you guys met before?" I asked after Aries and Wyatt had removed the glasses from the floor. Eva was standing in the doorway and seemed unwilling to proceed to enter. Kiya Sage was next to me in the chair."Sit down Eva," I invited her but she just smiled hard and shook her head. "C'mon, you can't just stand there." I struggled and stood up to calm him down."But Lea ..." I didn't listen to her complaint and made her sit next to her who was just watching TV and folding her arms as if they didn't get along.I wonder if she's the girl he's always visiting here in El Nido? Is he right? But obviously Eva likes her older brother Aries. Hey, poor brother Sage. Maybe it was his karma for Wyatt and me to break up back then. Joke, I don't want to hurt him so I hope they can settle whatever their problem is."I'll leave you there first, talk to me." I said and my older brother's eyes widened as he frowned at me.I left the living room and entered the kitchen where Ate Celine and Tatiana we
We had just finished breakfast and my older brother said goodbye to su to take care of something in his office at home so Wyatt and I stayed here again.I would have liked to come, in but I was so attracted to the view and nice weather today so I decided to just stay and hang out outside the rest house.I no longer brought my cellphone and sat there in the lounge chair I sat in yesterday. I have no load and I don't know where to load it. There is also no wifi even though I want to keep up with what's happening now in our issue so I'm just satisfied with the view of the sea.I folded my arms and leaned back in my chair as I watched the waves roar. Every beat of them sounded like music to my ears and even in the morning I wanted to go to sleep.My peaceful thoughts were interrupted when Wyatt suddenly appeared in the other lounge chair and sat down. I turned to him and examined the side view of his face. I have always been amazed at his perfect jaw. There is nothing special about his no
"..I plan to formally ask your permission to court your child, I hope you will let me."I blinked a few times until dad spoke."Unfortunately, Aries already has a girlfriend .. and he doesn't like men, hahaha." It's like I want to drown in what dad said. I looked at my older brother who frowned as he folded his arms."I'm referring to Lea," Wyatt corrected and smiled slightly. Of course, who else ?! Duh?Dad laughed, "I know son, but that thing I can't control .. oh he, and you talk to Lea, when she agrees I have no problem." Dad answered so I rolled my eyes.I shook quickly as I looked at papa. "N-no yet, I don't--" I couldn't speak when papa left smiling and went upstairs.I turned to Tatiana who was also smiling, I held her hand. "Tatiana, don't leave me--""I'll still cook," he said and forced the grip of my hand away. He turned and walked straight to the kitchen.I walked over to brother Aries who was now carrying bags and baskets, "Brother help me!" I offered but he took the pla
"Whoa .." I couldn't help but gasp when I saw the entirety of the Rest house outside. It is brown and white, now my older brother brought me here so that I could see it in person.We were with Tatiana wearing a red halter dress that ended in a span from above her knee. I wore a white tank top and black shorts while my older brother wore a black v-neck shirt and pants.Aries entered first through the high and wide wooden door, it does not have a gate but a large set back from the concrete fence that surrounds the side and back of it. Tatiana and I followed and I learned that this was not the first time she had entered here. When I asked when he averted his gaze and changed the subject.I look around inside. I was still amazed as I observed the beautiful qualities of wood that make up its interior. The living room is large and the wooden floor is smooth. There is a white u-shaped sofa and a square wooden table in the middle. There is also a large screen in the front and a vase under it
