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
Chapter 63: Child"Wow. Small world," I muttered, still grasping the news about them being blood-related."Yeah," Lyf mumbled and then smirked at us afterwards. "But I should be the one to be shocked here. You two seem too close."Yvor quickly held my waist and grabbed me closer to him. He then faced his cousin."Lyn, she's the woman that I told you last month. The woman that I love," said the person next to me with a smile on his face.Fellice snorted and glared at her cousin. "Sebastian, stop calling me with that name. It’s so cheap!" she ranted then sat down on the sofa and crossed her legs. "Anyways, I never thought that it's my best friend that you are talking about."Yvo turned to look at me. "You two are best friend
Chapter 64: ChanceI immediately got up and went to the bathroom when my stomach suddenly turned upside down for the third time since I woke up this morning. Then, I vomited in the sink with nothing that’s coming out of my mouth but pure water until it was just saliva.After rinsing my mouth, I faintly went back to bed and lay down again. I was about to close my eyes to sleep when I heard a knock on the door of the room that Fellice and I are now occupying here at the private beach resort of the Lastra family.We hurriedly book a flight last week and we arrived here the other day because my crazy friend was so excited about his upcoming birthday party for tomorrow. She said that she wants all her guests to enjoy and be satisfied with her celebration. So she herself will take care of the decorations as well as the catering.
