Chapter 20

"I'm fine..." He said in a very cold tone. I bit my lower lip, feeling another strange sensation in my chest. I also felt the distance between us as we stared at each other.

"I'll still call..." Arden was about to say something, but Aiden suddenly shouted at him.

"I said I'm fine!" Arden raised his hands in surrender to Aiden. I looked back and forth between the two, unable to control myself any longer.

"Aiden, what's wrong?! Arden is just worried about you! You don't have to shout at him!" I told him, irritated. Aiden turned his gaze back to me.

"All these things wouldn't have happened if you hadn't climbed that old gate!" He said, his voice filled with irritation. I admitted my mistake, but I was also angry.

"I didn't ask you to help me, did I? You suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the first place!"

"What do you want me to do then?! Watch while you're in danger?!" Aiden answered back, his voice cold and angry. He couldn't control his emotions anymore, but he couldn't ex

    Chapter 21I leaned against where I was standing because I started feeling dizzy. I even held my forehead and gently pulled my hair in frustration. Once the rain stops, I'll leave. It seems like I'm going to get sick out of the blue just because of getting wet in the rain.I leaned against the door and hugged myself because I was starting to feel cold due to my wet clothes. I didn't even bring a jacket. Sigh. And after a few moments, I felt even colder, and my lips were trembling from the chill. I needed to get home as soon as possible before I pass out here!Thank God, after a while, the rain stopped, as well as the thunder and lightning. However, I felt completely unwell now because as soon as I stood up from where I was seated, I immediately felt dizzy.That's why I closed my eyes for a while, while I started to massage both sides of my head, hoping to alleviate my headache. Massaging my temples felt good, and it somewhat relieved my headache, but I still needed to go home. Maybe t

    Chapter 22"I guess you have no idea what that is and what it's for." I scratched the back of my head because he was right—I had no idea what he handed me and what it was for."That's what you call clever claws. You're going to use that to shred the chicken meat." I nodded at what Aiden said, and then I approached the chicken that was already on the countertop. I was about to start shredding the chicken when I felt Aiden behind me. If someone saw us, it would look as if he was hugging me from behind."Aiden-" I was going to ask him what he was doing, but my words got stuck in the air."I'll teach you first how to use this because I'm worried you might shred the chicken meat in the wrong way." I pouted at his words."Che! I know how to use it!" But he still assisted me and taught me how to use the tool properly and shred the chicken."I can do it on my own now..." I said shyly to Aiden. Urgh! I felt weird about myself. Just a small gesture from Aiden affects me. If it wasn't for my rac

    Chapter 23"I saw Aiden leaving his house this morning, but he asked me for a favor. He said to feed you properly so that you regain your strength. It made me feel giddy," she said, and I couldn't help but cringe. Meanwhile, Ate Rose scratched the back of her head."It was crazy this morning because he kept speaking in English! I was about to have a nosebleed. I laughed along with him when he said that, and then I just shook my head.I don't know what's up with Aiden, even though we're in the Philippines, he talks as if he's in the US, conversing with Americans! It's really mind-boggling."By the way, where are Mom and Dad, Ate?" I asked Ate Rose with a slightly disappointed tone. There's a part of me that hoped to at least see Mom in the kitchen. I was sick all night and wondered if they were concerned about me. I'm not sure if they visited my room to check on me while I was asleep."Madam wasn't supposed to go to work today, but she had a conversation with Aiden and Sir Kent last ni

    Chapter 24"It's so beautiful..." I said in disbelief, and I reached for the wooden terrace that had been painted white. There was a sliding back door connected to the inside of the house. There was a white beach umbrella, a sun lounger beside it, and not far away were two single gray couches. On the opposite side, there was an empty sun lounger and a circular table. Everything matched the colors of the items and even the tiles in the swimming pool, which were a mix of pewter gray and white.In the front, there was a large swimming pool, although the water wasn't very clear anymore. Overall, it still looked beautiful; it just needed a little cleaning. I sat down on one of the couches to feel the ambiance of the place, but at the same time, I couldn't help but wonder,"Who could be the owner of this house? Why does it seem like it's slowly being abandoned when it's still so beautiful? With just a little cleaning, it can be as good as new! Where could the owner be?" I had consecutive qu

    Chapter 25"Hello, Ma'am," she greeted me with a shy smile, and I smiled back, not used to someone noticing me and being so friendly."Uhmm..." I didn't know how to respond! It seemed like a wrong idea to make Kuya Cardo wait at the parking lot!"I noticed, Ma'am, that your eyeglass lenses are thick, and I'm sure they get heavy when you wear them." I nodded because she was right. She smiled at me again."You don't have to worry, Ma'am, if that's the case!" She said energetically."I'm from IU," she added, pointing to a shop just behind us."We're currently promoting contact lenses. Maybe you'd like to upgrade!" Contact lenses... I said to myself. Actually, my mom has told me several times to switch to contact lenses, but I didn't want to because I'm afraid I might make a mistake when putting them on and end up blinding myself! Okay, I'm being overly dramatic, Amber, overthink much! But to be honest, that's the main reason I don't want to wear contact lenses, and I'm not interested any

    Chapter 26"So if you're a nerd, bullying automatically becomes your name's partner! But if you're beautiful, it's fine even if you're dumb as a rock?! As long as you're pretty, physical appearance is really the basis?!" I said in frustration. I wiped away my tears harshly.I reached for my phone at the back of my bag, and as I swiped the screen, I immediately saw the notifications from people who messaged me.The latest one was from Arden.No assignment today. Good thing. I said to myself, feeling unmotivated to do anything if ever.But I took down notes to have an idea for our lesson today. That was the continuation of Arden's message, so it wouldn't seem like I was ignoring his message since he messaged me earlier. When I sent my response, I apologized for replying late and told him that I would check his notes on Sunday.Next, I saw a message from Aiden. The frustration I felt earlier, especially in my chest area, seemed to disappear like magic when I read his simple message.How

There was a winking emoji at the end of his message.As I read his message, I couldn't help but smile and catch my breath. Why was Aiden so sweet today? What's going on? What did he eat? Damn! Whatever he ate, I hope he keeps eating it, so he'll always be sweet to me.Of course, to make him think that I was really asleep, I didn't reply. Until Kuya Cardo came back, the smile didn't leave my lips because of Aiden's message."Too bad about your hair, Ma'am. It still has its natural telephone curls..." Ate told me while using a hair straightener to straighten my hair."It's okay... I wanted to try having straight hair." That way, they wouldn't tease me as Betty La Fea.

Even though Aiden didn't invite me to the barbecue, I felt a sense of sadness as I ended the phone call with him.I flopped onto the sofa bed and punched my pillow in frustration, annoyed at myself. That's when I happened to glance at the mirror on my vanity table.That's when I remembered that aside from the household staff, no one else knew about my makeover! I had planned to surprise Aiden the next day, so in the end, even though I was upset, I pretended to be asleep and decided to come down only during dinner."I can't believe you were able to finish three dozen barbecues, Amber!" Ate Rose said, laughing.

It felt like they were scolding Aria and me, or maybe it was just me, since they knew Aria's side."So why are we here?" I changed the topic. I want all of this to end so I can look for Kylie and Jiro. Who knows what they've done already. Fuck!"I want, rather we want, you and Aria to get married tonight." This time it's Daddy who spoke."What?!" I felt like my soul wanted to leave my body at what Daddy said."But Aria is not Tita Celine's daughter! If you want our families to become one, why don't you just marry me and Kylie?!""Kent, please, don't make this complicated! I love you, that's all that matters.""Stop being so desperate, Aria!

He's cheating on her with her step-sister!Sometimes, I even want to knock some sense into her head and make her realize that she doesn't really love Jiro. D amn!

    Special Chapter 4The day of our departure arrived and Kylie still hadn't arrived! It was frustrating! Two weeks before we left for the USA, Kuya introduced me to her, even though I had been pestering him about her for a long time. Kuya was busy with school since he was graduating, and Kylie found out that she's only four years older than me. "See you soon, bro," Kuya said to me and gave me a hug.He moved away from me and answered a call on his phone, and when I looked at him, he was already in front of the van, talking to Mom. I sighed, took a few steps back so that what I was about to say to him wouldn't be overheard, and spoke to Kylie again."It's okay... don't cry there, I'll come back." I heard her continuous sobbing, and then she answered me."I'll miss you so much! I forgot that you're leaving today, it's Sam's birthday yesterday. I'm sorry..." And she started sobbing again."Kylie...""Kent...""Why are you crying there? I'll come back!" 'And when I come back, I'll make sure

And here you are!" I didn't respond to her. "We were worried about you. You didn't go to school today because they thought you couldn't breathe properly this morning, and they assumed you were just in your room."I didn't answer again. "Are you feeling alright? Why did you leave without saying goodbye?" He asked me gently."Why do you care?" I answered him coldly. I caught the fall of his face and the sadness in his eyes, I just looked away to get rid of the guilt I feel."It's not?! You're really my crush Baby Kent? Wee! You're going through puberty!"

Wow!Earlier, I was focused on the anime, but now I can't seem to take my eyes off Kylie. I wonder where she lives? Could I ask Kuya to take me along when he visits her? Surely Kuya won't suspect that I want to see his girlfriend in person, right?Besides, I'm still young. It's probably just a crush, and I'm not going to snatch his girlfriend away from him. But she's older than me! Kuya is four years older than me, so if Kylie is his age, she's also four years older than me.Would a guy like someone younger than him?

I asked, and as usual, a strong gust of wind was the response. I smiled as I reached for a pack of cigarettes in my pocket. I lit one and looked up at the clear blue sky."You know what, it's going to be a very long day for all of us. I really wish you were here with us. It's their wedding day, and I'm one of their best men..." There was no emotion in my voice as I spoke to her."I'm sure you're watching me right now, so... Do I look good in this suit and tie?" I took another puff of my cigarette."I hope so." I glanced at my wristwatch. "I'm sorry, but I need to go or I'll be late." I stood up and walked away from her grave.This is it! There's no turning back. I told myself as I looked at everyone. They were all busy with the wedding, and it was about to start any minute."I've been looking for yo

Happy because I could feel and hear Aiden's endless love for me, and hurting because I needed to be with Arden."I'm sorry, Aiden, you can't change my mind. Arden... Arden needs me more than you do."When I looked at the left side of my body, I noticed there was a cast from my fingers down to my arm. That's why I was in so much pain earlier; I had broken a bone!

And I'm left-handed!"But when I received Mia's call, I also left the site immediately to see you," Ero said without pause."This is nothing... just a small accident," I replied. I noticed Ero's eyebrows furrow and a hint of annoyance in his response, as if he was about to explode in anger."If it was just a small accident, why are you here in the hospital?

It seemed like he was just buying toys.The only thing I remember was wearing a party dress and going to Baby Trigger's hotel. I drank wine, but I didn't like the taste. It was because of my annoyance towards the two women - urgh! I shouldn't have let their insults affect me, they weren't true anyway!Then it was my turn to be interviewed by Baby Trigger. My eyes widened when I remembered what he asked me and what I did. I swallowed hard, sat down on the spot, and covered myself with a blanket."I just took off my clothes in front of him, and he saw my chest. It was like an automatic reaction for me to cover my chest. I could feel the warmth on my cheeks, ears, and neck as I remembered my reaction to his massage on my chest. His lower lip dropped, and I could still feel his hand on my chest, massaging it even now.Is my contract with Mr. Steinfield? Does that mean I'm the one chosen b

Ero asked irritably as he took hold of my hand, which was tugging at my hair, and held it in his own."I really can't remember!" I complained in frustration. He tightened his grip on my waist, pulling me closer to him."Let's not dwell on it because what happened last night isn't that important," Ero said mischievously."What happened? Why don't you want to tell me?!" I asked inquisitively before the waiter arrived. He brought finger foods, fries, and nachos. He also brought a bottle of whiskey and..."Put the shake here," Ero instructed the waiter, who nodded and promptly placed the shake in front of me."Thanks," I said to the waiter, smiling at him. "You're welcome, ma'am," he replied with a smile before leaving. I felt Ero's hand tighten around my waist as he leaned closer to me."What did you order?" I immediately asked him as soon as the waiter left. He raised an eyebrow."Whiskey for me and a strawberry sh
