She was wearing a blue ball gown with a sweetheart neckline paired with silver stilettos. She looked amazing with that gown I chose for her.
Tonight was their JS promenade and Marcus would be fetching her any minute now.
She made a face. “Stop it. Marcus doesn't like me in that way.”
My gaze went down to the necklace she was wearing. It was a silver necklace with a flower pendant. That piece of jewelry came from Marcus. It was his birthday gift for her.
"If he doesn't like you, then why did he give you a necklace?" I asked her with a smirk.

"CRESIA'S favorite color is black," Lenos told my father when the latter noticed the black roses displayed in my hospital room. "She likes everything that is color black," Lenos continued with a smile. "Black flowers, black flowers, black dress…"I was also here at the hospital with them. I was standing at the one corner of the room while watching and listening to everything they were talking about.I looked at my father. One of the nurses informed Lenos that my father visits me here every day. Just yesterday, when Lenos and I went to the hospital, we saw him here together with his son—I mean, my brother. Well, until now, I still couldn't believe the fact that I have a brother."She reminds me of Catherine, her mother," my father said, a smile on his face. "I remembered I once gave her a sun

"WOW, you're a hoarder, Cresia!" Caren said to me as she looked at all the items displayed in the tent.Lenos managed to put up a garage sale inside St. Claire. All of the things inside my walk-in closet could be found there: shoes, bags, clothes and even my set of jewelry."Cresia, are you sure you want to do these?" Lenos asked me while getting all my hangered clothes from my wardrobe."I couldn't bring them to the afterlife so might as well let other people have them, right?" I smiled at him. "It's better to do that than to just let them rot here."While looking at everything in front of me, I just proved to myself how materialistic I've become in the last ten years. I just realized how I relied my happiness on these material things

"SIR… it's supposed to be negative 3,"Caren said to Lenos as she pointed out the equation he wrote on the whiteboard.Lenos looked at the board and slightly scratched his head when he realized he was wrong. "Oh, yes,” he mumbled. “I’m sorry." Lenos erased the wrong equation and replaced it with the right one.“Sir, why did you seem so distracted today?” one of the students asked him. “Do you have a lovelife already?""You know what, why don't you go out first?" Caren whispered to me."What? What did I do?" I asked innocently."You're distracting Sir Lenos. Look, he couldn't concentrate because you're here. He always looks at you ev

“LENOS… what are we doing here?” I asked Lenos confusedly. Lenos told me earlier that we are going on a date. But he brought me to a church instead."What are we gonna do here?" I asked him again. I looked around, then I noticed that the whole church was decorated with flowers. Black petals of roses are scattered on the floor.I turned to Lenos. He smiled at me. “I want to make a promise in front of Him.”“What…" I didn't know what to say. An overwhelming emotion suddenly surged over me.Then I noticed someone standing at the entrance of the church. It was Caren. And she was walking towards us."Hi, Cresia." Caren greeted me with a big smile on her face.

"CAN we go to the hospital next?" I asked Lenos as we walked out of the church."Anywhere you want to, baby." His eyes were still fluffy from crying.I stared at him. Damn. I love him so much. And I hate myself for making him cry. For the past few days, all he did was show me how much he loves me. He brought me to places that we used to go before. The past days were pure bliss.I stopped when I noticed a piece of folded paper attached to the windshield of his car.Lenos took it with a creased forehead. "It was a letter from Caren…" He said in a small voice.Dear Cresia,I figured that by the time you're reading this l

“HE’S not going to die, right?” I desperately asked Kairos. “No, right? He can't die!”Lenos and Cresia are both in the operating room…They were both unconscious when the ambulance brought them to the hospital. Lenos…he was badly hurt. He was covered in blood when he was brought to the hospital.Kairos looked at me. His face was too serious and unreadable. He showed himself to me while I was waiting at the operating room.“Don't you want that, Cresia? You and the people you care about could be together in the afterlife?”I shook my head. “No. He deserves to live. You can do something about it, right?” I held on to his arm. His arm was as cold as ice. “Do something. Please.” It was

I WOKE up with the blinding lights surrounding me. I continuously blinked my eyes and allowed them to adjust to the bright lights.It took me a moment before I could finally open my eyes and look around. Everything around me was white. White wall, white ceiling, white light.Is this heaven? I asked myself. Am I finally here? Did I wake up in heaven?I realized I was lying on the bed. I tried to get up."Good morning—Oh my God, you're finally awake!"I immediately turned to where the voice came from. I saw a door open, and someone entered the room. It was a woman. She looked pretty on those white clothe

"CRESIA." It was Lenos who welcomed me the moment I opened my eyes. He was sitting beside me while holding my hand."Lenos…" I felt hot tears streamed down my face. "I'm alive, right?" I look at his face. "You remembered me, right?"He nodded. "Of course," he said. I felt his hand on mine. "You just made me worried.""What happened?" I asked him, confused. I looked at his face. His eyes were red from crying. Why did he cry?"You passed out in the middle of the street," he answered. He brought my hand to his lips and kissed it while looking at me."Thank God nothing happened because I won't forgive myself…""I saw you with Kyla…" I said in a s

"CRESIA?"I was walking on the school grounds of St. Claire when I heard someone call my name. I looked around and then I saw Caren. She was standing a few meters away from me. I smiled at her and her eyes widened as she walked to me."Hi, Caren," I greeted her."It's really you," she said, her face still amazed. "What are you doing here?""I'm bringing lunch to my boyfriend." I replied with a smile. "He works here."I wondered if she'd be shocked if he learned that Lenos was the boyfriend I was talking about."How about you?" I asked her."This is where I study," she answered.

"HERE is a glass of margarita."I said as I placed a glass of cocktail drink in front of Lenos."Wow," he said, looking at the alcohol in front of him and then to me. "You're good at this, baby."I chuckled. "Come on, bottom's up."He grabbed the glass and drank it in one gulp.We were in Polaris tonight. It was still an hour before the opening so I decided to show Lenos how to mix drinks."When did you learn how to mix alcohol?" he asked after he placed the empty glass on the counter."Hmm, I was fifteen, I think."His lips parted and I bit my lips to stop myself fr

"GOOD morning, Dad." I greeted my Dad when I saw him on the breakfast table. He was already having breakfast."Good morning, hija," my father looked at me. "What time did you go home last night?"I pulled up a chair, sat on it and poured orange juice on my glass. "Almost two, I think." I glanced at the breakfast in front of me. I put some pancakes on my plate."I noticed your car isn't in the garage."I pursed my lips. "Lenos took me home last night."His eyebrows rose. "Are you two together already?"I casually nodded while sipping on my orange juice. "Uhuh…""Ma'am Cresia."One of our helpers entered the kitchen with a bouquet of flowers in her hand. She handed it to me. "There's delivery for you."I immediately smiled when I saw it was black roses. I opened the card and saw Lenos' handwritten note for me.Good morning. I'll pick you up before dinner tonight.

"WHAT are you doing here, sis?" Alfred asked me when he saw me standing outside of my door. I smiled. "I'm just trying to sink into myself that one of my dreams finally came true." Alfred smiled at me. "You did it, Cresia." He said, then gently tapped my head. "Thank you," I sincerely said, tearing up. "This wouldn't be possible without you and Dad's help." I told him. Today was the opening night of Polaris. Alfred and my father came with me earlier this morning at the ribbon cutting. They even surprised me with a cake. And now, Alfred was here with some of his friends. Dad just went home earlier because he needed to rest early. "Nah. It was your idea and effort and money. We just supported you on the sideline," Alfred said. "We're proud of you." I chuckled to blink away my tears. "Don't make me cry. Just go back inside with your friends." I jokingly pushed him away. "Melissa was looking for you." I said, talkin

"WELCOME to my room, Aunt Cresia," Leah said as we entered her room. My eyes roamed around the room. She had a very princessy room. It suited her. I smiled when I noticed a portrait painting of her displayed on the wall. "How old are you in this portrait?" I looked at her. She smiled at me. "Oh, I was five there." Leah said as she sat on the edge of her bed. She hugged a unicorn stuffed toy we got on when we went to the theme park. "Thank you for the dinner, Aunt Cresia," she said, yawning. "I feel so sleepy already." She said in a small voice while scrunching her eyes. It was already eight in the evening. After pushing Lenos back to his room earlier this afternoon, Leah and I played board games in the garden. Then I cooked fried chicken for dinner. When I checked Lenos in his room, I still found him sleeping. It was a good thing he was having a long rest. I sat beside Leah. "You should sleep now." I gentl

"THERE'S still a space up here for another couch," Melissa told me while she was showing me around the second floor of the bar. "No," I said as I shook my head. "It's already perfect. I don't want it to be crowded." I wanted the interior of my bar to be chic and yet laid back. I looked around the area. We're almost ninety percent done with the interior of the place. Last week, I already made a deal with all the suppliers. I was also done with hiring people that's going to be my employees. I planned to start their training right after we finished with the interior. I smiled at Melissa. She's done a wonderful job in transforming this old place in just two weeks. My brother Alfred didn't lie when he said she was one heck of an interior designer.

It was almost six when we left the theme park."Yeah. You're full of energy earlier, Leah." I chuckled as I looked at her from the rear view mirror. Leah was a ball of sunshine."And you got so hungry you finished two orders of fried chicken," Lenos said, he also looked at Leah from the mirror."Dad, I just missed eating at Jollibee," Leah answered, her lips in purse. "But now, I feel so full and sleepy." Leah yawned and leaned on the headrest.I looked outside. "Don't worry, my home's only five minutes away." We were already inside
