The blasting sound of the alarm erupted in his room, forcing him to stand out of his bed though he really haven't gotten the chance to sleep for the whole night.He skipped breakfast, not really having an appetite as he felt shitty and wasted even before the day started. He took a quick shower, wanting to be sober and ready for the day.The alcohol he had drunk last night didn't help ease his troubled mind and broken heart.As Justine stared at himself in the mirror, he saw a man with lifeless eyes, far from his reflection few days before.The days when he was sh
Five minutes before the scheduled meeting, Justine went to knock on the door before slowly opening it wide. He saw Ray fixing his tie in front of the huge mirror, seemingly getting ready."Sir, the meeting is in five." He uttered in a low voice.Ray didn't say anything as he continuously tried fixing his crooked tie with the remaining patience he has.Justine couldn't help but shake his head. He went near the Ray, pushing his luck to help him out.However, Ray was quick to move away even before he could close the gap
Where's your car?" Bob asked when he saw Justine coming out of a cab in front of their company building.Justine just smiled as he ran towards the smaller male. He linked his arm on the other as they made their way inside the building."I don't feel like driving today." Justine simply answered.Bob shakes his head at the response. "How's everything going with Mr. CEO?" He whispered, wriggling his brows as a naughty smile appeared on his lips.Justine chuckled, putting on a facade as they stopped in front of the elevator."Good." He responded, not looking at his friend because he's afraid th
Riya turned at the call with a smug look on her face. She didn't see it coming as a hard slap landed on her face, catching her off guard as she fell on the floor at the impact.She felt the seering pain on her left cheek as she caressed it with her trembling hand.Her horrified face met Justine's confident one as he looked down on her with belittling eyes.Justine shakes his hand, the one he used to slap the bitch out of her."Damn. My palm hurts. You're really thick-skinned." Justine smirked, seeing the incredulous look on Riya's face."H-how dare you sl
O-ouch!" Justine grimaced, feeling his face sting as Bob treated his wounds from the cat fight he had with Riya."Bitch, I haven't even pressed it yet." Bob rolled his eyes, carefully treating Justine's wounds.
You didn't tell me you're taking me to a fucking club." Ray sighed in annoyance as he followed Christain and Calix out of the car.Christain grinned sheepishly as he looked at the pissed face of the Ray."Didn't I?" He asked innocently, making Ray roll his eyes."You know I have a lot of things to do, Christain. I don't have time to get wasted from alcohol when I'm already fucking wasted from all these piled up works." He argued."That's why you need a breather. And this place is perfect." Christain reasoned out.
During the weekend, Justine locked himself in his room, crying all day until there's no more tears left for him to cry.His friends would check on him from time to time, wanting to make sure he's not harming himself because of everything that has happened.They wanted to visit him and be by his side, but Justine had begged them to give the weekend all to himself.He wanted to clear his mind and be prepared when Monday comes, the day he'll b
you're going to believe him instead of me?!" Kally's voice echoed in the room, her face full of anger."David!" She called out, grabbing the man by the arm."You know I couldn't do that to you! I could never cheat on you!" She insisted, tears cascading down her eyes.David sighed as he looked at her tear stained face. He would've believed herjust like before, be fooled by those innocent eyes and the pain he sees in her beautiful face.
Your mother fed you with lies, Ray." David felt his heart clench at the sight of his son's face after hearing the truth from him.His face shows the kind of expression David had dreaded to see in him.Full of pain, disbelief, and betrayal.He looked so lost like a child who was left alone to suffer in the darkness filled with lies, darkness that his own parents had caged him in.He was deprived of the truth in the hopes that it's for the best but looking at how horrified he is right now made David regret keeping the truth from him.
Ray was standing at the altar shifting his weight from feet to feet and he kept glancing at the calix who sitting in front, rubbing his sweaty palms on his sute and fixing the long white tied string on his shirt collar that was used as a replacement for a tie.It is normal to feel nervous in your wedding day.
"By the power vested in me, I hereby pronounce you married."The crowd cheered as the now married couple went closer to each other, eyes glistening in tears."You may now kiss your husband."Everyone was up their feet, eager to witness the kiss that will finally seal the promise of forever.The married couple smiled, lips meeting in a magical moment as happy tears cascaded down their eyes.It was full of love and passion, both of them pouring all their emotions in that one kiss.
Uncle Beau, how do you play this?" Harry asked as he looked at the newly bought toy train of his uncle."First, place it here in the trail way and then turn it on like this... Tada!" Beau beamed, seeing Harry's amused face as the train began working.His eyes were twinkling as he stared at the toy with amusement. Beau ruffled his hair as he stood, making his way to Ray who's looking at his son with a fond smile."You can go now. I'll look after him." Beau assured which made Ray smile thankfully."Thanks, Beau." Ray said. He looked at his son and smiled, seeing ho
Daddy... wake up..""Daddy.."Ray opened his eyes, hearing his son's trembling voice. His heart clenched when he saw him in tears."Hey, baby. What happened?" He asked, voice hoarse from just waking up."Harry's scared." Harry's lips quivered as he hugged Raytightly."Why, baby? Did you have a nightmare?" Ray asked, cupping his son's face.Harry shakes his head."Then why?" Ray asked as he stared deeply in his so
Flashback 7 years agoThere's no one else to be blamed but himself.It's all his fault.From how his mother had lied to him because she knew he's a fool who's going to believe any word that she would say because he had loved her.His father who had hidden the truth from him because he knew he's weak and incapable ofhandlingthe pain of knowing the truth.ToJustine who had left him because he had treated him like someone who's less than human.
Are you sure you're fine?" Beau asked as the two of them stood by the front door of Ray's house.Ray just shrugged his shoulders. "Why wouldn't I be?" He asked as he looked at his son, playing by the fountain in his courtyard."You don't look fine." Beau seriously commented which made Ray sigh."I'm fine, Beau. Seeing him again doesn't mean I'm going back to losing my mind." Ray assured, eyes not leaving his son."I have Harry." He added, staring fondly at his little one.Beau could only stare at him intensely, t
Daddy look! There's uncle Beau!"Justine heard the child say and pointed near where he was sitting which made his heart thump loudly off his chest.Even before Ray could turn to look where the child was pointing, Justine immediately stood and left his seat, feeling his body tremble in indescribable emotions.He rushed opposite to where the Ray was standing, going absolutely with no direction in mind.He just knew he had to walk away.His mind was in chaos as well as h
Are you excited for tomorrow?" Bob asked as the three of them settled on top of Jin's bed.The older smiled brightly, his eyes were shining from excitement and pure joy as he nodded his head."I still feel like I'm dreaming." Jin uttered in a dreamy voice that had Justine and Bob squealing."You're getting married tomorrow!" The two said in unison as they giddily stood and jumped on the bed, dragging Jin with them.They held hands, forming a circle like how little children would as they excitedly jumped and laughed like they haven't done for a long while.
Flashback 7 years ago"Fucking leave!" Justine's voice bellowed as he tried pushing Ray out of his house.It's his mistake for opening his door for the Ray.He should've just let him knock all he wanted. Now, seeing him face to face after knowing the truth only makes his blood boil in rage."Justine... please. Listen to me." Ray begged, holding him by his arm but Justine was quick to push him away."Don't touch me!" He gritted his teeth from too much anger a
