-Marcov-

Our single bottle of lady's drink became four until we drank six bottles each. I'm not used to drinking it because my head hurts more when I only drink light, but I think about Veronne, maybe she won't be able to tolerate the alcohol content of a hard drink.

Based on what I see of her, her world is literally spinning. She didn't know what to do but to cry. They say it right, alcohol is what brings out a person's true feelings.

This woman is vulnerable. The heart she has is fragile and she hardly has time to calm it down. Yes, she says that she can face everything, and that she will be brave when tomorrow comes, but I see something different from what she says. She needs rescue from others, and I won't begrudge her that. I am ready to be her support, an arm to lean on.

"I did everything for them. I served them! I gave them the love they cannot return to me! Even though they didn't think of me as their blood, I always loved them. It's boring to love people they don't like to

    I headed to a wine cabinet in the storage room filled with wines from around the world. I'm used to buying alcohol wherever I go in the country. I opened the cabinet, took out a wine made by my friend Elvin himself. It is branded with Elvin's name. I went to a small table. I fixed the goblet. I inhaled the smell of wine whose flavor was grapes. Elvin's own wine is my favorite of all wines. It is not from a foreign country but right here in our locality. I heard the sound of my pouring wine into the goblet. The smell of grapes spread more all around. I closed my eyes and enjoyed its smell. It smells like drugs, the aroma is addictive. I lifted the goblet. I looked at the grape colored contents of the goblet I was holding, I gently turned it before bringing the goblet to my lips. I gently tasted the grape which was slightly bittersweet. I smiled after tasting it. It's very delicious and its taste makes you feel about how good memories are."This will always be the best among us," I

    -Veronne-I went to school by taxi. I just started travelling off there but I want to go home already. Today we have a class on the subject and I would be seeing Kalvis since we are the same under that subject. Just thinking about what will happen today makes me lose my energy. Imagining his face made me already lose my hope to have a wonderful day.When I got to school, I immediately went to the locker room. Far away I saw my locker door with sticky notes stuck on it. They call me an orphan and pathetic. We are not high school students but they still do these childish acts. "Hi, cousin!"I turned around. My day is ruined again because of what I saw. It's my cousin wearing her “baduy" outfit. Maybe she is not informed that she is like a madman on the road who is laughed at by many. "Oh, Veronne, why can't I draw your face today? Don't you have a booking?! Oops, my bad. I mentioned your secret here." "You know what, cous? You don't look like Barbie but you're so plastic. I knew alre

    I'm wearing a PE uniform now so even if it gets wet and dirty it's fine. I looked over the wide and long pool at our school. Crambrands University is the biggest school in our country. I got in here because I passed the entrance exam and luckily got into the scholars' list. It was really hard to maintain grades but because that is required I need to study well to maintain high grades.I breathed deeply. I sat on a bench. I saw that a man came in and it was the one I was with to clean the pool."There's so much clutter, it's like one's life there."I would like to believe that a human's instinct, especially a woman's, is not always right. When he saw me before being maltreated by Chontel I thought he wanted to help me, but he didn't. I used to think that he was a nice person, but when I experienced being with him around, my expectations of him were proven too far away from what it is. "Maybe it's better to just work together and clean up right away so we can finish early, Kalvis. Plea

    It's been weeks but I can't get out of my mind what Kalvis did to me. I carry the hatred in my heart for him. He didn't respect me. I hope he thought about his father before he did that to me. I gently wiped away my tears. I glanced at Marcov's message, as the invisible sharp instrument continued to stab my heart until I burst into tears again. He said he wanted to see me, he has told me that several times by texting and calling me. I have only one reason, I am not available because I still have school activities to finish. We have a game today. I was inside the restroom of the basketball gym of our Crambrands University. Someone knocked on the door so I let out a breath before I went out. A classmate smiled at me. "Hi, Veronne. Have you seen where the attendance sheet is?"I shook my head. I've been asking where the attendance sheet is because I haven't written my name yet on it. "I didn't see it, Mitch. Who was assigned to take our attendance? Are you done attending?"She nod

    I felt more guilt as if it would swallow me up when he locked me in his arms. My tears seem to fall, they can't be stopped, and they can't be used up. I just want to insert my face into the flesh of his chest. His hand rubbed my back. He calms me down. He was breathing deeply. When I felt better, we headed over to the sofa. He held my hands and squeezed them. "You seem to like the taste of wine, Veronne," he said. Even if he didn't say it, I knew he wanted to ask me, why do I drink? I stared at him, trying to tell him what's the truth through my eyes."I'm just sad, Marcov. I'm so sad. Really sad."My tears fell on our hands. "I rescued you from the life you had, Veronne. You have money now, you have a nice place to live, and you are no longer a slave to your own family." He looked up, thinking about something. He looked around for a moment before looking back at me. "What else is missing? Tell me, I'll give everything to make you okay. You want a car? Dress? What?!"I shook m

    I'm at the mall. I have finished buying the basic necessities for the condo. Even for my personal needs,I have already bought them. It used to be my dream to go to this place and buy the things I need and want, but now, somehow I can do them. I now have my own ATM. I was surprised because almost every week new money was added to my account. I was tired so I thought of eating ice cream at an ice cream parlor inside the mall. I had several bowls of Rocky Road Ice Cream. I was about to leave but Mitch saw me so she approached me. "Dating yourself?" she asked me, smiling. "Hmm. Not really. I just bought needs," I told her. "Ah, okay. By the way, are you informed who your partner is in our new project?"I shook my head. I don't know who my partner is because I didn't go in. "We have a new project? Who is my partner?""It's no other than your best enemy! It's that guy, Kalvis Greyford," Mitch told me. I held onto the chair. I almost spit out the ice cream I ate because of what I fo

    Under the sun, I'm holding tight to her wrist. Thinking about a possible way to survive made me sick in the head. Beads of sweat and tears began to roll down my face. I can hear my own breath. My heartbeat says that this is the end of me. I felt a strong pull. I was now on my knees and my palms were pushing on the floor. Still breathing fast and heavily, my tears are bouncing on the floor. I sobbed as my mind woke up to the fact that I was safe. My forehead slowly lowered until it kissed the floor. I swallowed, giving my silent hallelujah to the deity above who answered my plea. "Jesus, I thought it was the end of my life," I whispered. I heard a conversation behind me. Two people are yelling at each other. I inhaled. A few more moments before I exhaled. Even though my knees were shaking, I stood up. I faced the two people confronting and pointing to each other's faces. "I don't know if you're still human, Chontel. You can harm your own blood just because of the gossip you hear

    He called me to meet him here. Now I was standing at the beachside, looking on to the surface of the light kissed sea. The water was calm and the sound of the way became music to my ears.I waited for him because he got us something to drink. I told him that I am not in the mood to drink liquor, that's why he only bought juice for me and a canned beer for himself. "Hey, beautiful. Here's your fresh peach juice."I accepted the juice in the glass. He sat down so I sat next to him. I have no words to say to him since I lost on the track.He was wearing a beach short and a sleeveless top, and that made him look like a campus crush who visited a beach. Honestly, he became the center of attraction on this beach and it made my heart swell out of jealousy. I feel like I want to poke the eyes of the girls who have been staring at him for a while, as if they were imagining themselves being kiseed of even fucked by this man."What's with the long face?" he asked me. I didn't answer. I just tas

    The couple of years after we buried his body at the cemetery passed, but the pain was still here with me. All the days we spent together and the nights we shared with each other were nothing but beautiful memories of two hearts that were once one. My tears crossed my pale face. As my hand lifted the glass I was holding, I suddenly smiled, looking at the city lights from the veranda. “Why can't I get drunk? ”I asked myself. In the years Marcov was gone, I was totally lost and nowhere to be found. I know we have kids I must take care of, but my eyes can't stand looking at them. Because they exactly got their looks after their father, Marcov, the man I loved the most. Dorothy and Amirah never left me. They cleaned the veranda where I messed around. They took care of my kids. And they were keeping me from seeing the good side of life, even though I am blind. Someone made me look beside me. It's his older son who really looks like him. He was not staying here anymore but gave me time

    We decided to hold our quadruplet party here on some of the most authentic and beautiful beaches in the Philippines. Siargao is really the most visited place here. I heard from people who experienced this beautiful and mesmerizing paradise how accommodating the place is. I've read beautiful feedback from others. And their page got a ten-over-ten rating from the tourists. They sing happy birthdays to my children. I am totally out of appetite because of Margarette, the fake! After the short program, here comes the feast. A lot of food is placed on top of the tables. There are many Filipino delicacies on the menu. I just had puto, bibingka, and dinuguan. The sunset caught my attention. My heart is beating and aching as I am watching over it. Like the sunset, I am wishing that this agony I kept inside my heart would come to an end. My eyes are tired of shedding tears every night, and my mind is tired of having heavy thoughts over the days. I want everything to fall into place so I c

    -Veronne-Carrying four angels inside my womb wasn't easy. It was tiring and made my body function less effective. But every time I heard their small cries asking for their milk, their comforts made me realize that everything was all worth it.The pain in my back and private parts when I gave birth to them was truly a nerve-wracking experience. But again, their smiles and their little laughs helped me define myself as a real woman. My aunt and cousin never destroy our family anymore. But Margarette was a total mess in my life. She was acting kind and made me believe that all the things I'd heard a few months ago were real, even though they were all part of her schemes. “Baby!” Marcov uttered. It was a second after I put my sons into their cribs. I looked at the white wall while thinking about how I was going to make Marcov believe me. I brought this up to him before, but he said that it was not real. Kalvis was protecting his wife, and my husband was protecting his son. I could

    -Marcov- It's never easy to deal with a pregnant wife who is always changing her mind about everything. In addition to liking a certain thing, she would crave different things. She's been so picky right now, and what made me feel stupid was the weird thing she wanted me to do—not take a bath. Yes! It's really nasty, but I don't have a choice because if I go to the bathroom, I am only allowed to wash my face. “Marcov, come here! I want to smell you!” “Baby.” I was just calling her with my endearment for her, but her face was showing a disappointed face. I don't have another choice but to climb the bed and lay down with my head pillowing my hands. She then slowly laid down in my arms. She got closer to me and started to smell like she was smelling a cupcake that smelled so sweet. “Marcov. It's addictive!” “Baby, I really want to wash my body,” I said. “Ugh!” She suddenly punched my abdomen, and it made me run after my breath. It's impossible! I was really happy about my q

    Kalvis was challenging me. Well, I will make sure that soon he will know the dirty plan of that woman. I admit to myself that I told him to accept her and try to love her, but never to be fooled by her scheme. Marcov followed me to the veranda, where I was drinking wine. He hugged me, and it made me feel calm.“Why are you here, baby? The night is cold.” “Nothing, Marcov. I am just thinking about something.”“Care to share?” I escaped from his arms and faced him. He took a goblet and poured his own drink into it. “Nothing important. You will soon know about this. Just wait.”“Lita mentioned that my son came here. Was he bothering you again? Tell me if he does.”“It's just a little misunderstanding, Marcov. Don't worry about it.” “Are you sure?” “Certain.” I smiled widely to remove the worry in his heart. He touched my face, and the warmth of his palm pushed me to close my eyes. I held his hand and slowly grabbed his hand until my lips could kiss his palm. “Make sure that no

    Walking around inside the Greyford Empire made me feel indifferent. Before, I was just a hidden girlfriend of Marcov, but now I am treated so well and everyone praises me. “I knew it! I was really suspecting them to be lovers. But no one believes in me!”“Me too. I never doubted my suspicions! The way that Sir Marcov looks at Madame Veronne means the world!”“Correction, she seemed to be his universe!” “Hi, Madame Veronne! Good morning!” They greeted me. I smiled at them. The joy in their eyes seemed to be uncontrollable. They bowed to me many times. Before I arrived at the office, someone caught my attention. It's Kalvis. He just looked at me for a while and went in a separate direction.I was about to make another step when someone clapped behind me. It's Margarette. Her left brow was lifted while her eyes looked at me like she wanted to harm me. “Clap! Clap! Clap!” she said while clapping again. “You can't imagine that you really made it, right?” “Margarette, I did it! I did

    -Veronne-I went to my mom, and he went directly to the company. I sighed when I remembered what he did.“Honey? How's the honeymoon? I am sure that it went well! So, am I saying that I am going to have a grandchild?” I smiled while we were in each other's embrace. “Mommy, I am not ready for that. Marcov needs me to support him in his business. You know that,” I said. “Wait, speaking of Marcov. Where is he?”“He went straight to the company. He needs to settle something. You know that his people won't be doing their jobs well if he is not around. Oh, mom. I remembered what he did earlier. He reported someone who just looked at me, and he was arrested!” My mom was surprised. She covered her mouth before she burst into laughter. Like, what the fuck? Why was she like this?“Oh! God! That's impossible!”“It's possible, mom! What was impossible? The most impossible thing here was your reaction? There's no reason to be happy about someone who was arrested for looking at another man's wi

    -Marcov-We were both naked and had no space between our bodies. My member was working hard to reach her clit and make her moan like she wanted more of me. I couldn't afford to refuse the beauty that was possessed by her. She was beautiful but never like me, as she was underneath my body whispering the chants of love.“Oh, Marcov,” she said. I was looking at her face and trying to do my best to give her the best moment she will remember until the days when we were both old. My body pressed against hers. I slowly hung her right leg on my butt while digging to her depth.“Faster, Marcov! Faster!” “Uhhh.”I responded to her plea. I thrust faster than ever, feeling that the first legal sex we were sharing right now would never be compared before. This one feels so right, and this one would be a great memoir to keep in the bottom of our hearts. “Oh, Marcov! I can't take it anymore!” I pushed once, and she met my body. I could feel how her gate suffocated my dick. I am certain that she

    Every woman dreams of being paired with a man who's oftentimes read the best-selling book of all time. It was a wonderful feeling that you were walking above the aisle while the man of my life was waiting until I arrived at where he was standing up. His eyes were nailed on me while I was heading in his direction. “Honey, I don't know what to feel right now. I am going to cry out loud out the happiness and sadness mixed inside my heart. God, baby. You are really a grown-up woman now, and I lost the chance to look at you while growing up, achieving your academic goal, and living the life of a woman that you want.” I stopped for a while and looked at my mother, who was guiding me when we were both in front of my groom. “By any chance, mommy, I never imagined walking down the aisle with you. But today, you proved that a mother is a mother, a woman who will always stand up and walk by her flower. Thank you for returning to my life and walking with me heading to my groom.” Tears fell fr
