Chapter 54: Perplexed
"Sis, where are you? Aren’t you here yet?"
"Yep. I just got stuck in the traffic. Have some coffee in the meantime, sis. I'll be there in a minute, 'kay?"
I nodded even if she wouldn’t see me, "Alright, you take care."
"I will. See you. Bye."
After Fellice dropped the call, I went inside the mall and headed to the star bucks. I'll just wait for her there.
I have now decided to start my plan of finding an apartment to move into. So when I woke up this morning, I immediately called Lyf to ask her for help. She agreed because she had nothing to do today.
When I entered the coffee shop, it fills up inside. Maybe because it's peak hour as it is already ten o'clock in the morning. So I had a hard time find
Chapter 55: RelinquishIt's been three days since that day I saw him with his first love.Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday passed by with my eyes always got swollen. I just lock myself inside my room most of the day. So I extended my absence from work for two days. And if Maegan hadn’t brought me food, I might have starved to death.I have lost my appetite or even move around. I just wanted to cry all the pain I felt because I was so heartbroken by what I have witnessed that day."EL, is that . . . Sir Gavin?"I quickly looked up at what Fellice has told me. I followed the direction on where she is pointing her finger and I almost fell to the ground—knees wobbling, perplexed, because of what I just saw.
Chapter 56: Shattered"Are you sure you're going to work now, Ate Luli? Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror? Your eyes are still swollen."I tied up my now long black hair first before facing Maegan and gave her a tight smile."I'm already fine, Mae. So you don't have to worry now, okay?" I stroked her cheek then turned away. "I’ll go ahead or I might get stuck in the traffic," I informed her before finally leaving the house.I quickly hailed a cab and drove to the BXU complex. When I arrived at the company, I immediately walked straight to the elevator and went up to the executive floor.It's only half-past nine in the morning and I expected that my goddamn boss isn't in his office yet. So I was shocked when the door of his private office opened and it spat out the man I dearly
Chapter 57: Breakup "You’re p-pregnant?" I mumbled with my eyes widened in shock, looking at Annica."You two h-had s-sex?" Then, I looked at Gavin with watery eyes. My chest tightens just by the mere thought of them doing something filthy behind my back. I already saw them kissing but this thing is too much. I thought . . . I thought Gavin and I can still fix what we have but this . . . this is too much to take. "W-what?! No!" Gavin exclaimed in horror. Fear could be seen on his face. He then quickly closed the distance between us and then held my hands tightly. "It's not what you think, Love. Just hear me out, please," he pleaded. But I’ve already heard enough. And why is he lying to me? Huh! There’s already evidence of his betrayal to me, and then he still has the guts
Chapter 58: Memories"Eli ..."I stopped sobbing and turned to Yvor who was now standing in front of me. I thought he already left."Just go, and leave me alone," I warned him and then turned my back on him.But instead of following what I said, he firmly held my wrist and dragged me towards the Honda Civic that was parked nearby."What the heck, Yvor Sebastian! I said, let me go! I need to go home," I grunted and tried my best to pull my wrist back but the madman wouldn’t just let me and he even has the guts to grin at me."I missed hearing you say my full name," he muttered and forcefully pushed me inside the car. He then settled at the driver’s seat and quickly locked the doors, making sure I won’t jump just to run away
Chapter 59: ReconcileAfter a minute or so, he broke the kiss when my tears started falling."Hey, why are you crying?" he worriedly asked and kissed my tears away. I stilled on what he did but I still let him. Maybe because . . .I’ve been longing for him. And I missed him.I missed his love for me—a love that is so pure and sincere.I smiled lightly at him and shook my head. "N-no, it’s just that something stuck in my eyes and made me teary.”He cheekily laughs at my lame excuse. "Your reason is so used up, Eli," he muttered, chuckling and sighed afterwards. "Is it about the kiss? I’m sorry about it but I didn’t regret doing it. I just really miss you," he admitted and heaved a sigh once more. "Looks
Chapter 60: Still“Are you sure you’re okay now?” Yvo worriedly asked the moment I get out of the car. I told him to just hail a cab for me because I already troubled him much, but he insisted to take me home.I nodded and flashed him a small smile, “I am. Thanks for taking me home. You should go now, it’s getting dark.”“Alright, then.” He heaved a sigh. “You already have my number. Please do save it and text or call me if you needed anything, okay?”I was about to reject his offer but I realized that he will still be persistent about it so I just sighed and nods my head.“Thank you, Yvo. I’ll go inside now. Drive safely.”“I will, Eli. Thank you, too for accepting me into your life again. I
Chapter 61: AghastYvor brought me to pasta delici. It is a famous Italian restaurant within the city so the food they serve is really expensive. And Yvo as he is even before, it's okay for him to spend money even though I always told him that he doesn't have to do that for me. We can just eat at a simple restaurant that also served pasta. But he was too persistent again to bring me here because he said, their pasta here was tastier so I just let him do what he wanted."Yvo. . .I have a question," I started the conversation while we are waiting for the pasta that we ordered.He looked up at me and then flashed me a sweet smile. "What is it?" he muttered.I took a deep breath and silently release it before answering him, “You haven't been home in a month now. Isn't you
Chapter 62: Cousins “W-what? T-that can’t be true,” I stuttered in disbelief, lips trembling. Yvo then exasperatedly sighed. “That’s why I don’t want to tell you about this. Just calm down, okay? We still didn’t figure out everything,” he comforted me but it doesn’t calm me down. “The van may be registered on his name but there’s a possibility that it’s not him who’s driving that night. It could be someone else.” “B-but what if he is? I’m s-sorry, Yvo,” I mumbled and cried in his arms. “Shh, stop,” he hushed me and engulfed me in a tight embrace. “Don’t be sorry, love, you didn’t do anything wrong. Stop blaming yourself.” I just nodded but I can’t stop my fucking tears from falling. I feel disgusted with myself because I fall in love with the man I shouldn’t be. He might be an accomplice o
