“Phyllis, can you put that back inside Mom's dresser?”

Phyllis' auntie, Hanna, asked her as she pointed to the jewelry box on the table.

“Sure,” she casually agreed. She then went upstairs to her grandmother's room with the jewelry box.

Nothing changed in her grandmother's room. The shiny mahogany furniture was still neatly kept in place. Her grandmother's favorite patchouli and lavender scent still linger in the room. It was still the same cozy room she used to love when she was a child.

She pulled the top drawer open and noticed that a piece of paper was placed on the empty spot in the corner. She picked up the paper and placed it on top of the dresser before placing the black velvet jewelry box inside the drawer.

'So organized…'

She found it so satisfying that the jewelry box could fit perfectly in the dresser. It was filled with different organizers for her grandmother's journaling and knickknacks.

She spotted a signed photocard of Zacharias on top of her grandmother's

    “Do you have to rush this plan? I mean, it would take a good 2 years for them to finish the project. You still have time to think about what you want to do on that land…” Phylian took a sip of his tea and continued, “Besides, you also need to demolish the abandoned warehouse there.” Phyllis placed her phone on the coffee table. “I know, but we need to start now as we need to settle the permit and other necessary documents.” “Lis, you don't need to worry about that. I'll make arrangements for you,” Phylian reassured Phyllis. Phylian, at a young age, already has a background in property development. His first venture into business is a luxury mall. He built it when he was in college. He managed to present a business plan to their father, which resulted in gaining investment in his project. It was a large-scale business that a college student dared to enter. Alas, years later, it blossomed into a successful mall filled with luxury brands, just like he envisioned. She knows that her

    Weeks progressed, and the plan was already underway. Phylian contacted the architect who designed their mall and asked him to design a beach house for Phyllis. Their grandmother's initial design was on the modern side, with warm timber details. Phyllis just tweaked a few details, like adding a cantilever and an infinity pool. On the 52nd floor of the YJL building in Dixon City, Phyllis, and Zacharias came for a meeting with the architect in charge of the project. Phyllis flipped through the project plan. On the first page, the exterior perspective was beautifully designed. Sitting on top of the cliff is the four-bedroom beach house that they planned to build. The view of the white-sand beach can be seen from the house itself and from the infinity pool under the cantilever. The cold and sturdy concrete slabs were designed with warm timber. To make access to the beach easier, floating concrete steps were added. She was satisfied with how everything turned out, from the floor pla

    Zacharias was sitting on a couch inside the city engineer's office. He took off his sunglasses and faced the engineer, who had just entered the room. The moment that the engineer saw him, his face immediately turned to one of the fliers for a condominium he had on his table. The same handsome face was printed on the thin fliers he just received from his colleague. It was a new high-end residential building in the city that is currently on pre-sale. His old classmate at the university, who works at YJL Construction Company, just gave him this flier to see if he was interested. His gaze did not leave the stoic man in front of him. He realized that he was Zacharias Lohr, the celebrity who endorsed the residential building for the upper class. The longer he looked at him, the more familiar he became. 'I know this guy! He's the man from my daughter's poster!' Zacharias stood up and offered his hand to the engineer. “Good afternoon, I'm Zacharias Lohr.” The engineer nervously accepte

    The secretary first entered the office to inform the mayor and his daughter about their unexpected visitor.“Really? Did he really come?” Tiffany excitedly asked about the visitor that they have this afternoon. “He's here?!” She then turned to her father and asked, “Are you expecting a visit from the Lohr family?” “No…” his father answered. “Do you have any business with them?” The old mayor sipped his hot coffee and responded, “Aside from his mother, no.” Hearing this answer brightened Tiffany's stressful day. For the past few weeks, she has been trying to pressure Phyllis to get an apology from her. Just this afternoon, she got word from the city engineer’s office that the head architect of YJL Construction has already questioned them and is trying to get the decision overturned. 'How can they think that this would be checked by someone from a higher-up? My father has the say in this city.' 'Never mind all that! Zacharias is here now! I wonder why he's here?' A sudden t

    A week passed, and the construction of the beach house was already in progress. And miraculously enough, it has not encountered any mishaps; everything was so smooth. “Phyllis, is it true that even Grandma Emilia is not interfering with the construction?” Rui is still skeptical about how the Clemens family did not interfere with the construction. Just before, they were so adamant about buying the property, but now it was as if their mouths were sewn shut. Kenneth snorted. “Maybe it's because the Clemens family is occupied with a lot of scandals.” Leila laughed heartily. “I know, Ken! I know!” Rui looked at the two, wondering what they were saying. “What happened?” Kenneth glanced at Phyllis, who was trying to busy herself with her laptop. “You know, Alisha, right? She's our second cousin.” “Yeah! She's her granddaughter, right?” Kenneth sipped his butterfly pea tea. “Yes, girl! Guess what?!” Leila excitedly nudged Rui. “Guess it, sis!” Rui did not mind their rowdiness, b

    The sound of loud music echoed in the large studio in Dixon City. Today is the live broadcast of the comeback showcase of the idol group Luna. The whole studio was filled with fans waiting for the show. The moment that their faces appeared on the large screen, accompanied by their music, the whole studio erupted. “AHHHHH, LUNAAAA!!” Rui's face twitched as she scooted away from her seatmate, who was screaming her lungs out for the idol group, Luna. She gave Phyllis a look and tugged on her sleeves. “Be quiet!” She tried to shush her friend. Rui observed that most of the fans were screaming in excitement. She witnessed how their eyes lit up as soon as the screen displayed Luna's concept photos for their comeback. She could see that everyone was happy with Luna's latest album release. Everyone was happy. …except for her friend, Phyllis. “LUNAAA!!!!” she screamed once more. Rui patted Phyllis' thighs and reminded her, “They're not on stage yet; calm down!” Hearing this, P

    The show went on with Luna singing their new songs and the fans singing along. They also played a few of their old songs in the mix. “Everyone!” Rain enthusiastically shouted as he waved at the audience. “For our last song, we're going to play Only.” Zacharias smiled and uttered, “This is the song that I wrote for everyone who was struggling to confess their feelings. This is for the people who wanted to move on but could not because there is only one person who owns their heart.” Then Zacharias' calming voice flowed inside the studio. It was a comforting serenade that suited Zacharias' sincere voice. Phyllis rose from her seat and stared at the artists through the glass window. Her heart was thumping fiercely as she listened to Luna sing her favorite song. “It's my favorite song…” “It's my wedding song...” She murmured as she closed her eyes, remembering the day that she got married. Whenever she listens to this song, the memory that pops up in her head is her wedding. I

    A loud thud resounded inside the men's comfort room as Zacharias fell to the floor. His consciousness slowly faded as he tried to reach out for his phone in his pocket. Soon after, a small red light blinked from his right arm. A girl inside a luxurious hotel room tapped the screen on her tablet, revealing a location in Dixon City. “Hurry and bring him up,” she said on the phone. “Got it, miss.” Satisfied with the turn of events, she took a good sip of her pink moscato. “I'll have to thank Auntie Vic for revealing the group's location for tonight.” She giggled as she browsed Phyllis' Ninstagram account. The simple photos posted made Tiffany sneer. She hated Phyllis' perfect life. She despised how Phyllis was cherished by her rich family. She envied how she was surrounded by a successful group of friends. She detested how she excelled academically and in her work. Above all, she hated how she got her crush just because she was his childhood friend. After getting humiliated

    Zacharias remembered the moment when his childhood playmate, Phyllis, developed a fear of blood because of an incident when they were young. After that incident, he limited his visits to her as she was attending therapy. He felt guilty for what happened to her. If they did not play in their house on that day, then perhaps, none of it would have happened. Now that 15 years have passed since that incident, the memories still remain vivid. But thankfully, it's only him that remembered, not Phyllis. Seated comfortably in a coffee shop in East City, he sipped his coffee as he waited for Hill, his online friend that he impulsively invited for a coffee. 'He said he'll wear the Grand Monster hoodie that we bought online…' He looked around and saw no one who wore the same hoodie that he was wearing. Cling-ring! The sound of the door chime ringing prompted Zacharias to look at the entrance. There he saw a person wearing the Grand Monster hoodie. But… That person is not someone who

    On a sunny day in the Lohr family's mansion, two little kids were playing in the garden. Zacharias was happily playing with the three years old Phyllis, who was the daughter of the family next door. “Aiash, hide and sheek! Hide and sheek!” The little Phyllis yelled as she ran around the garden with Zacharias chasing behind her. “I'm coming to get you!” he teased as he grabbed her arms. Phyllis playfully giggled as she shook her arms away from Zacharias. “Hahaha! No more tag! Hide and sheek now!” she requested from her playmate. “Okay, okay. Let's rest first.” He then led her to lean against the tree. “Aiash, let's play more games when Lian gets home!” CRASH! The loud sound startled the little girl which prompted her to hold onto Zacharias' shirt. “Aiash, Aiash,” she nervously gripped his shirt. “WINSTON I HATE YOU!” CRASH! CRASH! “Stop it Victoria! Zach will hear you!” Screams from the inside of the house can be heard from the garden. Zacharias, who was so us

    “You…” her voice quivered as her hands started to loosen her grip on the handle.She lightly opened the door, enough for him to enter. But because of her fear of confrontation, she still hid behind the door. Her eyes were shut, still nervous about meeting him again after how many days. She knows it’s him. She knows him by his voice. She knows him by his scent. She knows him by heart. THUMPTHUMPTHUMPHis clean scent smelled like home is getting stronger. ‘He’s near…’‘He’s here…’Her heart thumped violently as the excitement, happiness, guilt, fear, sadness, and anxiety fill her in. She felt everything all at once. But it did not feel suffocating for her. Rather, she felt so comfortable, like she was in her safest place.“I’m here now,” he whispered as he pulled her into his arms. ‘I… I’m home…’She gripped his shirt tightly as she guiltily shed tears. “I’m sorry…”“I’m sorry for leaving, Aias… I’m sorry…” she said in between her cries.

    “Phyllis, where are you?! Your husband went here and told us what happened! Why did you suddenly leave?!” The moment that Phyllis settled in her hotel room, the loud voice of her mom reached her ears. “Mom, calm down…” “Calm down?! You did not tell us that you're going out of the country and you expect me to calm down?! You did not even answer all of my calls earlier! We were so worried!” “Zacharias told me you wanted to get away from the press and we understand that… But you have to at least inform us so we can make necessary arrangements for you!” Phyllis held her phone tightly as she braced herself for her mother's scolding. “Mom…” “You're not a teenager anymore, you're an adult! You don't have to tell us everything that you do but you have to at least not make us worry!” Phyllis sat at the edge of the bed and quietly listened to her mom speak. She did not have the heart to respond to her, especially if she knows that she was in the wrong. “Phyllis, I know you're stres

    "Sir, we've already cleared them off.” Zacharias peeked through the window to see if there were still some people from the press. They were quite easy to spot. They're usually wearing face masks and caps with huge cameras in tow. Seeing that there was none, he turned to Phyllis, who was busy packing his stuff. “Good. Please get the car ready, we're going down now,” he said on the phone. He then tucked his phone inside his pocket and approached Phyllis. “Is there anything else we need to pack, babe?” Phyllis just shook her head and said, “Nope, I got it, babe.” Just as she was about to head out while carrying the tote bag, she was hugged by Zacharias from her back. His strong arms embraced her dainty shoulders and whispered, “I miss you…” Phyllis, who was still not over with the commotion from earlier, dismissed him with a tap on his arms. “Don't be ridiculous, we're literally together. How can you miss me?” He inched his body closer to hers, letting her feel the warmth of

    With all the controversy about the Klein family, they were completely mobbed by reporters, trying to get a statement from them. In just a matter of two days, the kind-hearted mayor disappeared from the public. Soon after the various documents that were reported, another video went viral. It was a video of Mayor Klein mocking the poor victims of a fire that destroyed a small neighborhood in the city. The area was small and a little cramped and so firetrucks had a hard time killing the fire until it ate the majority of the houses. In the video, the mayor was smiling to the public and promised to help them as much as he can as he helped with the distribution of basic necessities like food and clothing. But the next clip showed him mocking the victims because they were dirtying his beautiful city. His statement instantly gained critics. His image as the kind and caring mayor of Lieren City was crushed in a matter of seconds. No one likes a politician who looks down on his people. “

    A large amount of Rohypnol content was found in his lab results. And contrary to what Phyllis suspected, the drug was not laced in the microchip but on the needle itself. Zacharias woke up after three long hours and is currently resting. He's just waiting for the drug to leave his body. The microchip was also taken out of his arm per his request and Phyllis' insistence. “Babe, please stop crying… The chip is already taken out…” Zacharias consoled Phyllis, who was sitting beside his bed. She has been taking care of him earnestly and has not taken a good sleep since the incident. He gently patted her back to comfort her. “I'm sorry… I'm so so sorry… We were researching microchips, babe…” “Hick—and the person who made that was a colleague of mine… If only I did not introduce this technology to him,” she said in between her sobs. She felt incredibly guilty about what happened to Zacharias. “Babe, it's not your fault. It's all on Tiffany who orchestrated all this, okay? It'

    The ambulance rushed to the hospital with the unconscious Zacharias, Phyllis, and Leila cramped inside. Now that Phyllis got Zacharias to safety, everything that went down earlier started to finally sink in. When she attacked the bulky man with her heels, it did not cross her mind that some of the blood would squirt on her face. Her hands started to tremble at the sight of blood on her cheeks. She then tapped Leila and murmured in her shaking voice, “Blood…” Noticing the few streaks of blood on Phyllis' face, she hurriedly wiped them off with her blouse. “Shh, it's gone now…” She held Phyllis' hands and gently massaged them. “Okay, breathe with me…” “Inhale…” “Exhale…” “Inhale…” “Exhale…” Leila guided Phyllis with her breathing exercise. Rui taught everyone in their circle how to properly assist Phyllis in case she was triggered. Physical manifestations such as trembling, trouble breathing, and fainting were seen when Phyllis was last triggered. They continued with the bre
