Fired up because of her newfound purpose, she hailed a cab since she planned to wait for Eli in Tiya Rosa's cottage. The split-second shocked expression of the driver while she was instructing him the address was overlooked by her eyes fixating outside as though by some miracle, Eli would pop out of nowhere. By the next minutes, she slept on the passenger seat without her intending to.
The faint sound of engines dying awoke her and the first thing welcoming her sight was a police station. She jolted and glared at the driver about to step outside to open her door.
"Mister, what the actual crap? I'm capable of paying fare, for your information." She asserted in a high, irritated pitch.

PART I - Severed Fates is officially done. I will be posting PART II after a two month break so I'll probably back by the second week of March. School has been tough or sometimes unexpectedly busy so I need ample time to write more without worrying to miss weekly updates. In that way, I won't run out of my prepared chapters like it did with the last 5 chapters. It super caused me a great delay, phew. As for the second part's own short prologue, I'd drop it as soon as I can. Hope you understand and always keep safe and kicking! Lots of love!

PROLOG Up on the hill lies a townhouse built like a fortress. Vines crawled on the iron wrought walls from the top to the soiled ground surrounding the lot. The steep slope made it impossible to travel by car nor was it friendly to walk with the road uncemented. Thus, no person wanders by accident or goes sightseeing. Most people called the place haunted because of rumors spread by campers. They said that while spending the night in the forest, they heard faint music coming from the nearby hill. Out of curiosity, they ventured in the midst of darkness and were astounded to see the lights on the townhouse but when they pressed the doorbell, no one answered. Then, suddenly, the beautiful melody was replaced by eerie silence so when the lights went out from the place, they were already running away. Little did they know, insi

Oh, the world is vast and enigmatic! Millions of people compete for power, fame and beauty. Some gave up along the way while others outlived their lives without gaining at least one but quite a lucky few just had it since the day they were born like Caress Aragon residing in the City of Gold. Rumors spread fast that in one's eyes, she gleams! Undying tattles said deities, fairies and the Almighty blessed her with the divine light. If by chance, locals are asked, "How true is this preposterous hearsay?" "Truer than true!" young lads would exclaim in confidence. "You shall know when you see her in person." other townsmen urged. "I'm not sure but she isn’t called goddess for n

A hand pulled Care out of the dancefloor while her mind wandered elsewhere. "Who was it?" she mumbled. "It's me, Ivy! I came to fetch you on behalf of my sister!" a lady in chiffon lacy dress replied in obvious foul mood, "Stupid camaraderie dance! What a lame excuse for those bird-brained men to select prospects! All of them seem so eager to dance with you that they won’t mind ripping your arm off. Be grateful I saved your ass." Unable to keep track of her blabbers, Care beamed at Ivy. Her stern looking expression warded off bachelors from approaching. Better to have a rival’s company than those nuisances, Care thought. "Actually, I expected Marigold to show up instead of you. I assumed you were on the dancefloor with your charming suitor, too." "Not another word!" Ivy squinted her eyes, threat mode. She raised her hands in surrender and nodded. It would be unwise to conti

Her breathing becomes shallow. Despite staying still, blood kept gushing out from her stab wound. Her hand had gone frail from pressing on to stop the bleeding. Care suspected her stubbornness in the end won't help. In her trance-like state, flashes of an insignificant memory from the past resurfaced. Up on the hilltop, her ancestors built a pristine white mausoleum surrounded by evergreen trees. They called it Paradiso. Who would not? On that site: air was fresh, skies seemed closer as if within the reach of one’s hand and the elevation provided a great view below. It serves as a resting sanctuary for those blood relatives who passed on. Their pictures sit next to their graves while their memoirs are compiled on a mahogany bookshelf.

"May we call on Lady Caress to join us with the bestowing ceremony." The emcee announced followed by an applause from the several attendees.Care found herself rising from her seat."Shi! What is this, déjà vu?" Care inwardly panicked.Like how it goes, Aster reached and gave her hand a light squeeze. Her heart began thumping crazily when she said the exact statement:"Come straight to the table after, hmm? I feel uneasy tonight."Chills ran through her spine as though somebody threw a bucket full of ice on her. She wanted to shout for help yet she cannot lift even a muscle in her mouth no matter how hard she tried. Further and further, she spirals down into a dilem

"Aragon, run! What are you doing?" Eli yelled, distraught. Care heard him and still she cannot take her eyes off Ramses. Her heart got ruled by fear for her estranged friend's life. She froze in place like a statue. Years may have passed but she will forever be indebted to him. For the young lady, his sins were forgiven before he even asked for it. "He will end up in jail if you can't stop this! You must stop him! Stop him!" Her conscience clamored. Once again, she was back as a little naïve child. The boy Ramses in her memories clouded her logic. Harmless, kind and warm... that although he lunges for another strike, she stood unwavering. What she did not anticipate was being thrown aside seconds later. The next thing she knew, Ramses already stabbed Eli while sh

Opposite ends coiled. Its red shimmer turned somber as the string of fates was completely cut off. Care instinctively clutched her chest while gasping for air and her tears trickling on the sand one after another, floored by a longing so intense that plagued her soul. If she could only reach or seize what was amiss deep within her, she would! On the other hand, Eli was motionless. The disunion crushed him just as much through an unsettling feeling that shook his whole body; hollowed sensations even felt by his fingertips. His tears fell, too, conveying the depth of his pain he has yet the capacity to comprehend. WHOOSH! Gusts of winds sent their photo memento adrift the air current while waves swallowed the rusty scissors unbeknownst to them because of the unprecedented arrival of two myst

A makeshift stage, the jazz punk feels backdrop... A local band performing live was the root of attraction, she supposed. Steel barricades set the boundary for the audience which meant no high ground for her to survey the area. The unfamiliar song in play tickled her ears, diverting her attention upstage. 🎶🎶🎵 I'll live in our little world for now So I say, please let me hold you Little longer, tighter, sweeter La, la, la let's cherish the moment before parting later 🎶🎶🎵

XOXO!TEASER:"Why won't you ask my name?" She asked since they reached the point of taking pictures two strangers together do not normally do.She sat up so he did the same."Do you want to tell me?" he answered with another question right of the bat.Introducing herself as Caress would sound absurd while using Aurelia makes her sick in the stomach and uttering a false name is burdensome. To hide in anonymity felt good. Therefore, she found herself slowly shaking her head.

The first hours felt like her body was dipped in hot and cold simultaneously. Care suffered from chills all over apparent through her teeth chattering. She nearly believed she was charcoal lit on a furnace. In her awake but upside down and dancing in waves vision, she watched Eli as he wiped her arms with a damp face towel in efforts to lower her 39.8℃ body temperature. It was the gentle strokes of his hand that lull her to sleep again.Her parched throat hurt, waking her up in the process."Wa..ter." she mumbled.Eli rose from his armchair and put his book down upon noticing the movement of her lips. He leaned in, kneeling at the bedside. She unintentionally swallowed her remaining saliva due to his strong misty scent invading her nostrils and luring her to nuzzle into the crook o

Throughout the day, she was a social butterfly again in order to remind herself who she is. She is hellbent on erasing any traces of Aurelia Vicentes in herself. Pushing Ram's death at the farthest corner of her mind was what she believed the first requirement until Eli showed up. The man she thought warmhearted was actually capable of ruthlessness. He shamed her with black rose bearing a symbolic meaning of deep-seated hatred, rudely turned his back at her and ignored her calls. Lots of onlookers started murmuring to each other. Gossips will surely blow up if she follows him further. Nonetheless, her poor legs, yet to recuperate from strenuous physical activities she had been forced through, ran after him. "Eli, wait!" she shouted half-begging. He kept his brisk pace as if he heard nothin
More Than What Meets the Eye 28 - At My Worst
Years ago, Eli's recollection of the past From the young age of six, his father frequently pats his head and tells Eliseo, "Son, as the eldest, I trust you would be responsible. Look after your siblings." People commend their family for living in virtue despite their poverty. It confused him since he knew money was a constant problem to them. One time, he roused from bed due to thirst. Faint sobs were picked by his ears as he passed from the room of his parents. Coincidentally, his Mama emerged through the door opening. Her eyes dilated; surprised he was still up. She averted his gaze quickly. Eli, being a filial son, wrapped his arms around her tiny waist. "Papa and I are blessed to have a very responsible
