Love Amidst Deceit Chapter Twenty-Three
Selena’s POVTatlong araw na mula nang matanggal ang bala sa likuran ko, pero ramdam ko pa rin ang sakit, lalo na sa balikat ko. Parang hindi nawawala yung kirot, at honestly, sobrang bored na bored na ako dito sa hospital. Wala na akong ibang ginawa kundi kumain, manood ng TV, at matulog. Sobrang monotony lang, at feeling ko, wala na akong ibang magawa kundi maghintay na gumaling.Buti na lang at parating dumadaan si Andrew para kamustahin ako. Noon, medyo mahigpit na ang security team niya, pero ngayon, mas lalong pinaghigpitan ni Agustin ang pagbabantay sa kanya. Dalawang bodyguard na ang parating nakasunod sa kanya, kaya’t hindi na kami makapag-lambingan ng normal. Tuwing pumupunta siya rito, sobrang pormal na lang naming mag-usap. Pinapakita niya sa mga bodyguards niya na dumadaan lang siya para mag-abot ng pagkain sa akin, kahit na alam namin na hindi lang iyon ang dahilan. Kapag wala siya dito, parati kaming magka-text. Doon na lang kami nakakahanap ng pagkakataon para mag-usap

Selena’s POVMakalipas ang anim na araw ay medyo okay na ang pakiramdam ko. Ngayon, pinayagan na akong makalabas ng hospital. Halos araw-araw akong binibisita ni Andrew, dinadalhan ako ng pagkain, at pati sina Agustin at Mando ay bumisita rin. Todo-todo ang pasasalamat ni Agustin sa akin dahil nailigtas ko raw ang buhay ni Andrew. Hindi niya alam kung anong gagawin niya kung nabaril si Andrew.Pinaiimbestigahan na niya ang nangyari, pero wala siyang nakitang kahit anong impormasyon. Lahat ng iyon ay dahil nagsinungaling si Andrew sa kanya. Talagang gusto niyang protektahan ako at ayaw niyang magduda si Agustin kung bakit kami magkasama noong gabing iyon.Agustin hadn’t given me any tasks for the past few days, insisting that I stay home and rest. I couldn’t argue with that, considering how physically drained I was after everything that had happened. But, I heard something that shook me.He was scheduled to give a public speech—one that was going to be huge. One of his biggest sponsors

Selena’s POVHindi ko alam kung anong gagawin ko sa lahat ng sinabi ni Leonardo. Halo halo ang aking nararamdaman—galit, sakit, at pangamba. Tapos parang ang sakit pa na kahit ako na ang tinamaan ng bala nung gabing iyon, wala lang sa kanya. Walang siyang pakialam at parang wala kaming pinagsamahan. Kaya't naglakad lakad ako, na parang wala sa sarili. Hindi ko alam kung saan ako pupunta, pero napadpad ako sa simbahan. Doon, sa harap ng altar, parang doon ko na lang naisip na magpahinga, mag-isa. Walang ibang tao, tahimik, maliban sa tunog ng mga dasal at ang mga iniisip ko sa utak ko.Dahan-dahan akong naupo, hindi ko na napigilan ang mga luha ko. Isa-isa silang dumaloy, at sa bawat patak ng luha, para bang ang bigat ng lahat ng nangyari ay unti-unting nawawala. Dito, sa simbahan, parang nararamdaman kong kahit saglit, may kalayaan akong ipahayag ang nararamdaman ko nang malaya.Natatakot ako sa kung anong pwedeng gawin ni Leonardo, at higit sa lahat, natatakot ako para kay Andrew.

Selena's POV I’ve spent days at Bea’s place, not talking to Andrew, ignoring his messages. Now, my time away is up, and I have to go back to the Mansion. Agustin’s break has ended, and I can’t avoid it any longer. I’m terrified. I don’t know how I’ll face Andrew when I see him again. But deep down, I know what we have has to end. I can’t let Leonardo hurt him because of me. I knew from the start that this would happen—that I would lose him. But even knowing that, it still hurts more than I ever imagined. Bumalik ako sa mansion at itinuloy ang pagtatrabaho, hindi ko sinabi kay Andrew na nakabalik na ako. Nagpatuloy ako na parang walang nangyari. Nang dumaan ako sa pool area, napatigil ako nang makita ko siya, pero hindi ko pinahalata sa kanya na nagulat ako. Kitang-kita ko ang pananabik sa mata niya nang makita niya ako, at naramdaman kong gusto niyang umahon sa pool para lapitan ako. Pero bago pa man niya magawa iyon, iniwasan ko ang tingin niya at, walang pasabing, umalis ako. "An

Andrew's POV Days passed without me hearing from Selena after she was discharged from the hospital. I tried reaching out to her multiple times through calls and messages, but I never got a response. I had no idea where she was. Then, today, I saw her. I was swimming in the pool when I noticed her. I was about to get out to talk to her, but before I could, she just walked away, leaving without a word, as if she hadn’t even seen me. It felt strange because she’s never acted like that with me before. I can’t shake the feeling that she’s intentionally avoiding me. We’ve bumped into each other several times, yet she hasn’t even given me a smile. It’s driving me crazy. I waited until midnight, hoping I would have a chance to visit her in her room, but she had intentionally locked the door. It was clear she was avoiding me. I managed to get a key to her room and entered. I didn’t see her in bed, but I heard the sound of water running from the bathroom, so I decided to wait for her to finis

Andrew's POV I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my necktie with careful hands, trying my best to focus on the task at hand. The black suit felt heavier than it should have, like it carried the weight of everything I was trying to avoid. Today was supposed to be a special day. It was my graduation day—finally. After years of late nights, endless assignments, and countless moments of doubt, I had made it. But no matter how hard I tried to focus, my mind kept drifting back to her.Selena. We had talked about this day so many times—random nights, when the world felt quieter and easier, when she would be there to cheer me on. She promised she'd come to see me graduate, to watch me walk across the stage, to be proud of me. But it was never going to happen. Every day without her felt like a constant ache, a gnawing emptiness that I couldn’t escape. I tried to avoid her, tried to pretend like I didn’t care. But deep down, I knew the truth: I wasn’t over her. And the fact that we nev

Bigla na lamang niya Akong pinasok sa loob ng comfort room, diretso sa pinakadulong cubicle. "God! I miss you so much Selena. I will make sure you'll never forget this last moment of us." He knelt between my thighs, lifted my dress, and pulled down my black thong. He began to massage my femininity with his fingers. I began to groan at what he was doing and tugged at his hair. Slowly, he kissed my vagina, causing me to spread my thighs even wider. After a moment, he felt Selena's body stiffen and liquid flowed from her womanhood. He licked all of it and turned to Selena to see her reaction. After a moment, he stood up from his crouch to open his pants. His erect penis stood out. He was ready to insert his huge shaft into my womanhood, but the I stopped him. I knelt between his thighs and took his huge shaft in

Andrew’s POVAgad akong umuwi sa bahay matapos ang art exhibit, at bagamat may kasamang saya dahil nabenta ko ang dalawang piraso ng mga paintings ko, hindi ko pa rin maiwasan ang kabuntot na kabiguan sa kalooban ko. May mga interesado pang bumili ng mga paintings na si Selena ang subject, ngunit hindi ko kayang ipagbili ang mga iyon. Ang mga paintings na iyon—ang mga alaala namin ni Selena—ay tanging sa akin lang, it wasn’t supposed to be there anyway I guess I accidentally mix it up. Kung mawala pa ang mga iyon, wala na akong natirang alaala ng mga panahoong magkasama kami.Pagdating ko sa bahay, naabutan ko si Selena pababa ng hagdan, bitbit ang mga gamit. Hindi ko alam kung anong nararamdaman ko nang makita ko siya—parang may matinding bigat sa aking dibdib. Hindi ko rin alam kung anong gagawin ko. Nilapitan ko siya agad."I'm sorry, Selena. It was a mistake. Wala dapat doon ang mga paintings na iyon," sabi ko, sabay tingin sa kanyang mga mata, hoping na maiintindihan niya. "Kakau

Amanda’s POVMatapos ang mahabang araw na magkasama sila Andrew at Audree, nagkaroon ako ng lakas ng loob na makipag-usap kay Andrew. Lumubog na ang araw at malapit na siyang umalis. Hinalikan niya si Audree sa pisngi bago ito pumasok ng dorm, saka bumaling sa akin. Ngumiti ako sa kanya bago ako nagsalita."Andrew," panimula ko. "Gusto ko lang mag-sorry sa nangyari kagabi. Tama ka, at mali ako. Sana maging maayos tayong dalawa para kay Audree. At huwag kang mag-alala, kung akala mong inaagawan ka na ni Calvin ng pwesto kay Audree, hindi iyon totoo. Inintroduce ko lang siya kay Audree bilang kaibigan dahil gusto ko munang magkaayos kayong dalawa.""Don't worry, Amanda," sagot niya, "hindi mo kailangang mag-sorry. Ako ang may kasalanan sa nangyari kagabi. Pasensya na sa mga nasabi ko." Mahinahong ngumiti siya. "Na-appreciate ko na iniisip mo 'yung mga ganitong bagay para sa akin."Ilang sandali ng katahimikan ang namagitan sa aming dalawa, hanggang sa nag-salita siya muli."Gusto ko san
Love Amidst Deceit Chapter Sixty-One
Amanda’s POVCalvin came by today at Casa Reyes, and I introduced him as just a friend because I didn't want to confuse Audree, especially since Andrew and I are still figuring out the right time to tell her that Andrew is her dad. It's a sensitive situation, and I want to make sure everything falls into place smoothly.What I really appreciate about Calvin is how understanding he is. He fully accepts that I have a child, and more than that, he's genuinely open to making compromises to develop a meaningful connection with Audree. It’s not easy, but his willingness to put in the effort means a lot.Today, he came with a small gift for Audree, and it was so sweet to see how quickly they clicked. It felt natural, like there was this unspoken bond forming between them. It made me feel hopeful for the future, knowing that he’s not just accepting my situation but is actively trying to be a positive presence in Audree’s life.We were having breakfast when I suddenly saw Andrew walking toward

Andrew’s POVHindi ko talaga maipaliwanag ang nararamdaman ko nang makita ko si Amanda kanina na kausap si Calvin. Parang may kutob ako na siya nga ang dinidate ni Amanda, yung taong binanggit ni Audree. Pero ang talagang nagpa-bother sa akin ay yung mga ngiti nila sa isa’t isa at yung mga kilos nila na parang komportable na sila at sanay na sa isa’t isa. Hindi ko maiwasang mag-isip kung gaano na ba nila kakilala ang isa’t isa at bakit parang sobrang tiwala si Amanda sa lalaking iyon. Parang may koneksyon silang hindi ko kayang ipaliwanag, at hindi ko matanggal sa isip ko yung pakiramdam na iyon. I felt frustrated, confused, and oddly betrayed all at once. It was a feeling I couldn’t shake, no matter how hard I tried.Nanatili akong tahimik hanggang sa makarating kami sa Casa Reyes upang ihatid sila. I was doing my best to keep my composure because I didn’t want to cause a scene in front of our daughter.“Thanks, Andrew.” Amanda spoke to me first after I dropped her and Audree off at
Love Amidst Deceit Chapter Fifty-Nine
Amanda’s POVI didn’t know what to feel when Audree told me that we were going to the park with Andrew. I wanted to say no, but I could see how excited Audree was to go out with Andrew. I didn’t want to be selfish, so I agreed and got her ready early.Just the thought of the three of us being together, like a family bonding, was driving me crazy. I didn’t know what could happen or how to handle the situation. But then, I realized this might be good for Audree. Maybe this will help her get closer to Andrew, so when the time comes, it won’t be as difficult for her to know the truth—that Andrew is her real dad."Amanda, are we okay?" Andrew asked, his voice soft, as we sat on the bench waiting for Audree to return from buying ice cream."Yeah, we're fine," I answered quickly, glancing at him but quickly looking away. I had been avoiding his gaze for a while now. I didn’t know why, but even after all this time, there was still something about him that affected me in a way I couldn’t expla
Love Amidst Deceit Chapter Fifty-Eight
Andrew’s POVSabado ngayon at walang pasok sa school si Audree, kaya maaga akong nagpunta sa Casa Reyes para makita sila ni Amanda. Nangako ako kay Audree na dadalhin ko siya sa park, kaya't hindi ako makapaghintay na magkasama kami. Nakita ko online na may boulevard park sa Dumaguete, at kailangan naming sumakay ng barko papunta sa kabilang isla, kaya maaga akong umalis at nagtungo doon.Pagdating ko sa Casa Reyes, nakita ko si Audree at si Amanda. Si Audree ay nakaupo sa harap ng salamin habang tinatalian ni Amanda ang buhok niya. Pinagmamasdan ko silang dalawa, at hindi ko maipaliwanag, pero parang may kakaibang saya na bumabalot sa puso ko. Habang tinitingnan ko sila, nakaramdam ako ng init sa dibdib — hindi ko alam kung bakit, pero may isang espesyal na pakiramdam sa mga simpleng sandaling ito.Hindi ko alam kung gaano katagal akong nakatayo sa may pintuan, ngunit nung napansin ni Amanda na nandiyan ako, ngumiti siya at nagsalita. "Andrew, good morning," sabi niya, medyo magaan n
Love Amidst Deceit Chapter Fifty-Seven
Andrew’s POV"Please take good care of Audree, Andrew. If you plan on bonding with her, please make sure you take her home before 7 p.m." Amanda reminded me."Thanks, I will," I replied as I held Audree’s hand and led her to the car. I couldn't help but feel a shift in Amanda’s demeanor. It was strange, because just last night we were talking normally, and now it felt like there was some distance. I didn’t know why, but I decided not to overthink it and just let it be."Later, susunduin kita sa school. Gusto mo bang magpunta sa ibang lugar? Pinaalam na kita kay mommy mo," tanong ko kay Audree na nakaupo sa passenger seat."Wala naman masyadong mapapasyalan dito, kuya pogi. Gusto ko po talagang pumunta sa park," sagot niya nang malungkot."Sige, next time dadalhin kita sa park," sabi ko, sinusubukang pasayahin siya. "Pumunta na lang tayo sa isang lugar kung saan may masarap na pagkain mamaya. May gusto ka bang kainin?""Chocolate cake po, kuya pogi!" sagot niya, sabay ngiti."Chocolate
Love Amidst Deceit Chapter Fifty-Six
Amanda’s POVI watched Andrew, his gaze fixed on the pictures in the photo album I’ve held onto for years. Every image, every snapshot of Audree was a piece of time I had carefully collected—her first smile, her tiny hands, even her sonogram, all of it was there. It felt like a sacred collection of moments; ones I had the privilege of witnessing firsthand. But as I saw his face, the way his eyes lingered on each photo, something inside me shifted.I pulled the album out to show him, thinking I was sharing a memory, but instead, I saw the raw pain in his eyes. I felt this wave of guilt wash over me, a heaviness that I hadn’t anticipated. In my desire to preserve these moments, I hadn’t considered how much I had taken from him. I had experienced the joy of Audree’s early days, the moments that a first-time father should have been there for, and in doing so, I had unknowingly robbed him of that.It wasn’t intentional. I never meant to keep those moments from him, but somehow, I had. I ha
Love Amidst Deceit Chapter Fifty-Five
Andrew’s POVGinabi na ako sa Casa Reyes kakahintay kay Amanda na umuwi. Si Audree ay nakiusap na magstay ako ng kaunti pa upang makita ko ang mommy niya, at pabor din sa akin iyon dahil gusto kong makausap si Amanda. Alas siyete na ng gabi nang dumating si Amanda. Nagulat siya nang makita akong nandun sa dining area ng dormitory kasama si Audree.“Andrew? Ano'ng ginagawa mo dito?” Amanda asked, clearly startled by my presence.I could see her reaction, and it was clear that she wasn’t ready for the conversation or the questions that I had. But I knew I had to do it. I needed to talk to her about everything that had happened—and about our daughter.“Mommy, si kuya pogi ang naghatid sa akin pauwi galing school,” sabi ni Audree, nakangiti habang palapit kay Amanda.Tumaas ang kilay ni Amanda, mukhang naguguluhan. “Kung kani-kanino ka sumasama, diba sinabi ko na si Ate Miranda ang magsusundo sa’yo?” pangaral niya kay Audree.Di ko na rin napigilan. “Huwag mo siyang pagalitan, Amanda.

Love Amidst Deceit Chapter Fifty-Four
Andrew’s POVI could hardly hold back tears when I read the results of the DNA test I had ordered. Audree... she’s my daughter. The weight of those words hit me like a ton of bricks, overwhelming me with emotions I didn’t know I could feel. A mix of shock, disbelief, and a deep, overwhelming love flooded my chest. All this time, I had wondered and doubted, but now, the truth was laid out in front of me. The little girl who had unknowingly captured my heart was my flesh and blood. But as much as my heart swelled with the realization, there was also a growing anger and confusion. Amanda had kept this from me, hidden our daughter from me for years. I needed to talk to her, to understand why she chose to keep Audree away from me. What could have driven her to make that decision? How do I step into this role of a father after everything that’s happened? I didn’t have all the answers, but I knew one thing for sure—I needed to confront Amanda.I went back to Audree's school, but this time, e
