"What the hell are you doing?"
I got out of the car in the middle of the rain without second thoughts. Even I couldn't understand myself and rushed to attend to him. My heart skipped a beat when he turned to me with a grim expression. His head and face were wet.
"You weren't inside," he murmured to himself.
Just in time, the gate opened and some of the bodyguards came out with umbrellas and towels. I turned to Santi again and he still has the same expression. His jaw clenched and he looked away in anger.
"Let's go inside," I murmured after getting the towels from the bodyguards.
The cold wind blew and my body shivered slightly. I jolted when I felt his arms wrapped around me as we walked to the mansion door.
Mom and Dad were waiting in the living room when we entered. They were both surprised t

PregnantI calmed myself while waiting quietly in the visitors' area of the correctional. I don't know what has gotten into me for coming here. I didn't bother to find out about the progress of the police investigation because the only thing that matters to me is that my son is safe and that the perpetrator is punished. My son is too young to experience such things. And the hardship and pain I felt as a mother were doubled.It took me a ton of courage to come here and see Ivory. I don't know why I'm doing this but I felt like I had to do this to move on.I looked up when the door opened and two female police officers entered, holding the handcuffed Ivory in both arms. She looked wasted and her sunken eyes are out of focus. Her pale lips rose for a sarcastic smirk when she saw me. After a while, she laughed a little."Who do I owe the honor of having you here?

Together"Are you coming later?"I looked up to see Xander's smiling face. It looks welcoming. Most of my classmates that year would either make fun of me or ignore me. I don't mind either of those. I'm used to it. That's why it's refreshing to have someone approach me to make friends."I have some things to do at the farm," I said while arranging my things."I'll let Grandma Gracia know. Mommy baked cookies for us. Cianna's coming, too." He smiled."Who is that?" I asked brows furrowed. We don't have any schoolmates with that name."Family friend. They just moved here."I couldn't do anything when Xander came to my house to get permission from my grandmother. She also agreed with joy. Even though I don't tell her, I know she hears from school that other kids make fun of me. That's why she was so ha

Positive*click*I positioned my body for another pose. I tilted my head while flashing a seductive look. I slightly opened my mouth and cocked my body towards the camera.*click*“Great job, Cian! Now move closer to your partner!”I lifted my gaze to Jacob. He pulled me softly ‘til our bodies touched. I cleared my throat when a memory flashed through my mind.I am wearing Ivory’s main design for her lingerie brand which will be released next month. I will be the cover for a magazine for next month’s issue too.I put my hand on Jacob’s veined arms as I stare at him.“Show some passion and desire, you two!”He pulled me closer to him as he let out a soft sigh. He smirked at me. I pushed him lightly when we were done.“Not in the mood?” He grinned playfully.We both faced the camera at the same time.“Nope,” I rolled my eyes as we did another pose.“Then... can you join the party later?”I did not answer. I am still thinking if it’s a good idea to drink after this. Because the last time

Orphan “Xander!” I smiled when he turned to look at me. He leaned into his car as he stared at me. He smiled when our eyes met. Today’s my first day as a college student. While he’s in his third year. I begged my parents to allow me to go to the same university as him. They let me in the end since they knew Xander would be there, too. Xander and I have been friends since we were kids. Our parents are friends so we became close friends as well. And since then, I have liked him more than just a friend. No, like is an understatement. I’m pretty sure I’m in love with him. I don’t see myself being with another man except him. Though I do have tons of suitors since high school, I don’t have an interest in any of them. My heart and mind are fixed on Xander. And I will do everything so he’d love me back. I hugged him. He chuckled and patted the top of my head. I glared at what he did. “Stop doing that, I’m not a kid. Can’t you see I’ve become a woman now?” “To me, you’re still a kid wh

Brat I woke up early the next morning for my first class. Xander texted me that he couldn’t pick me up early since his first class would start later in the afternoon. I decided to drive my car on my way to school. I have familiarized myself with the road so I wouldn’t have any problem going there. I shivered when the cold wind kissed my skin. The rainy season is approaching and the weather is starting to get chilly. The streets are still filled with fog even when it’s seven in the morning already. I slowed down when I couldn’t see the road because of it. Later on, the fog faded. I noticed a figure walking on the streets. He’s wearing our school uniform. My brows furrowed when I tried to see who it is. It was that man from yesterday. That Santiago Lopez. His hands are in his pockets while walking in an almost striking way. I suddenly remembered what happened at the sight of him. The mere thought of him embarrassing me still angers me until now. I was just trying to be polite to him

Afraid I jolted with the loud sound of the water when Xander jumped from a big rock. I laughed at him when his face turned red from the impact of his dive. This is what he meant when he said he’ll make it up to me – a picnic date in a waterfall within their land. The Del Rio’s owned a vast land here in Malolos. They also own the biggest Food Manufacturing company in the whole province. Most of their properties were inherited from their grandfathers who are natives here in Malolos. I heard his ancestors were not well off back then during the war. But they managed to grow their business to what it is now with the help of his grandmother, Donya Esmeralda Zalduaga Del Rio. I don’t know his family’s history. And all I know about them is everything I heard from my parents. Ever since my family moved here, we became good friends with the Del Rio’s. And as an only child, I have been close to their family ever since. Tita Alondra and Tito Thomas are very fond of me. It is maybe because th

Confess The staff greeted me politely upon reaching the stable. They have known me since I was a kid. Most of the trustees of the Del Rios have been serving them for a long time, even before my family got here. If there are new people, if they are not my age, they already know me because I have often wandered here since then. I shook my boots to get rid of the dirt then I turned to look inside the stables. The horses were eating when I went inside. The rows of cages looked like bedrooms for them. I went to Gustave's. The one feeding him immediately looked up. "Is he alright?" I asked referring to the horse. “A little, ma'am. That's why the vet said not to let him run and his legs might be sprained." I nodded and went near Gustave. I gently touched his face until he relented. I smiled. "Is senyorito going to ride with you?" He asked after a while. I was a little stunned. I remember my arguments with Santi. The mere thought boiled my anger. "No," I breathed. "Senyorito seems to

Tease His smile faded and he became serious. I got even more nervous with his reaction. This is not something I anticipated. I expected him to be shocked but not calm, like this. "Cian, I-I'm sorry," he shook his head. He stood up and went near me. I was taken aback in shock. Why is he saying sorry? "What do you mean?" I asked, quietly preparing myself for the worst. "I don't love you that way," he said disappointedly. "And I don't want to hurt you in any way. You are special to me, that's why. Even if I did notice something, I ignored it because I don't want to give you the wrong impression. I'm sorry, Cian.” My chest tightened as I tried to swallow his words. I cleared my throat to get rid of the lump in it. But I also couldn't stop shedding a few tears. I blinked them away. "Hey," he held my shoulders when he saw it. I avoided it a little and tried to smile. "W-Won't you even think about it first? M-Maybe even a little, y-you also have feelings for me?” I asked desperately.

SoakedI have always wondered how all of it went wrong. We were happy and I thought it was something that would last. It never occurred to me that I could lose everything in an instant. My son is my everything. I can lose other things besides him.The sound of the gunshot still lingered in my ears until now. I heard commotions as I closed my eyes. When I woke up again, I was even more shocked by what I saw. Hugging me and my son, and shielding us from the shot, was Lance."L-Lance," my voice trembled and my eyes heavy. I tried to look at him properly.He just smiled lightly and then coughed up blood. I wanted to scream but I couldn't open my mouth. My tears just kept flowing tirelessly. He fell on the ground then the commotion around became more evident. The last thing I saw was Ivory lying on the ground being restrained by some uniformed men.

GuiltI took a few deep breaths to calm myself down. I was still shaking while holding the steering wheel. This is not the time to panic, I scolded my mind. It's more important that I get my son safely away from Ivory.I kept looking at the location Ivory gave me until I got out of the city. For several hours I crossed the narrow road with almost no houses around. It's afternoon, so darkness is slowly eating the surroundings.A few more minutes and I reached a dead end. My car won't fit if I force myself to enter the forest. I dialed Ivory's number and she answered it after a few rings."I'm at a dead end," I said immediately. I gritted my teeth as the seething anger enveloped me."There is a narrow road on the side where you are. Go through it. In the end, you will see a small hut."I roamed my eyes to look for the way

SaveMy whole body trembled and my eyes lose focus. Santi caught up to me and held my shoulders."What's happening?" He asked worry is etched in his voice. I, on the other hand, couldn't stop looking everywhere to find my son."Callar... The teacher said our son is waiting at the gate…"My chest throbbed so badly while I looked for the guard. No one is inside the post and he couldn't be found anywhere. No more students are coming out from inside and the surroundings are quiet."Let's ask the teacher once again. Maybe they sent him back because we haven't arrived yet," he said and pulled me inside.We caught up with the teacher inside the classroom who arranging her things. I roamed my eyes around but no one else was there. My chest throbbed louder. It wasn't even five minutes since the teacher called to say my so
Passionate Mistake (English) Chapter 53
DreamI know we have to talk things out. And here I am being stubborn again because I'm clouded with so many doubts and insecurities. Maybe he has a plan to tell me and he's just looking for a good time. Or he's hoping the issue would die down on its own so he doesn't think he had to tell me anything about it.Well, that frustrates me even more. Even more so, Ivory points to me as the reason why Santi chose not to continue with that project.And damn, I know he wanted it so bad. He worked so hard for it. I know, more than anyone, how hard it is to give up on the things I love because of other things as well. And if the thing that stops him is us, how did he expect me to react? Of course, I'd be mad! As much as I want to keep him with us, I can't just do that. And what hurts, even more, is he doesn't even share with me his dreams, his goals, his plans. I know nothing at all.

Selfish"Leave him."If she hadn't been staring at me seriously while saying those words, I would have thought she was joking. I wanted so bad to laugh at her right now. She looked helpless and a hopeless desperate bitch."Stop spewing nonsense, Ivory," I said firmly."Do you think I'm just fooling around, Cianna? Or am I just saying all of these things because of how I feel for Santi? You're wrong. Can't you see you're pulling him down?"My eyes narrowed at what she said. What the hell? What did I do to pull Santi down?"Will you please snap out of it, Ivory? If you don't have anything sensible to say, don't talk to me. You're just wasting my time," I said and turned my back on her.Just when I was about to take a step, she spoke again."You don't know anything. Or is it becaus

WantI don't know how to feel about what Jacob said. My chest throbbed with a familiar pain."Maybe they're talking about work?" I faked a smile. I tried to hide the tremor in my voice.Right. I shouldn't jump to conclusions. But no matter how hard I try, I can't stop my brain. I almost didn't even hear the loud music."Maybe," he shrugged. "Anyway, let's just enjoy the night," he grinned and gently pulled me again to dance.Before I could even refuse, a pair of hands grabbed my arm from behind. I felt Santi's familiar hold that I automatically turned to him. His eyes were dark staring at Jacob's hand that was still holding mine."Santi," I called his name in protest.He turned to me, jaw clenched so hard."Sorry dude," Jacob apologized, raising both his hands.I was about to say something when I noticed someone chasing after Santi. She stopped walking when our eyes met.Ivory looked at Santi's back in a forlorn way. My anger grew even more when it was proven that what Jacob said was
