SWEET SINNER (ENGLISH VERSION) “HUSBAND & WIFE”
"ERIK? It’s you, right?"Nathaniel, finally sensing the moment, approached his boyfriend."I'm Nathaniel, Mia's brother," he said without hesitation, extending his hand toward Erik.At that moment, Mia looked up at her boyfriend's face. She could clearly see the quick change in Erik's aura as he accepted Nathaniel's handshake."Oh, would you believe it, I have a brother?" Mia said, stifling a laugh. "And here you are, getting jealous without even asking me?" she added, embracing Erik tightly.That was when Erik held Mia tightly in his arms, then let go and pressed his lips against hers without uttering a word. Disregarding the people who could see them, he made her feel the intense longing he had for her."Shall we go inside?" he said with a smile, his eyes sparkling.Mia happily nodded in agreement and waved at Erik's parents before entering.*****"We're actually traveling today to bring Mia back to Manila," Nathaniel said when they faced each other in the living room."Nate has his
SWEET SINNER (ENGLISH VERSION) "YEARBOOK"
"I'm okay here, Dad; don't worry about me," Erik replied, laughing as he talked on the other line to his father, Fidel, who was with his mother, Aurora, still in Canada. "Come on, give me the phone, and I'll talk to that son of yours," Fidel said, hearing Aurora's voice, which caused Erik to chuckle softly. "Mom, don't argue with Dad. It's just the two of you left there," he joked as he continued to sort the white and colored clothes he was going to wash. "What are you doing there, and why is it taking you so long to come back? It's been a year since you left. When will you come back? Your grandfather keeps asking us questions about when his favorite grandson will return. Neither I nor your dad know how to answer him," Aurora's lengthy speech caused Erik to laugh weakly again. "Mom," but his mother quickly cut him off. "Why are you laughing? Hey, Enrique, have you forgotten your obligations here? In your grandfather's business, your cousin is having a hard time shouldering all the
SWEET SINNER (ENGLISH VERSION) "MIA"
"Give me that," their elderly maid, Nanny Ising, said firmly, reaching out to take the towel from Mia's hand as she gently dabbed warm water onto the bruises marring her arm. Bernie, the man with whom Mia lived, had once again proven to be a source of pain and turmoil, leaving Mia in need of comfort and care. "I don't understand, Mia. Why can't you just leave that man? Look at yourself in the mirror. Don't you feel any pity for the person staring back at you? I, for one, feel nothing but sorrow for you," Nanny Ising's voice quivered with a mixture of frustration and empathy, her eyes filled with concern for Mia's well-being. Mia glanced at her reflection in the mirror with a distant gaze, her tears flowing like a river. Yes, she did feel sorry for herself. For quite some time now, she had been wallowing in self-pity, trapped in a cycle of abuse and despair. Yet, as the old saying goes, "With whom she stumbled, so she has endured everything." "I-I don't have any money, Nanny Ising. E
SWEET SINNER (ENGLISH VERSION) "BROKEN PIECES"
Erik smiled as he looked at the picture of the woman who owned the F******k profile he was browsing. None other than Nadine.He quietly assessed himself.Is he still hurting?He smiled again and then turned off his laptop.He was content now, and he was genuinely happy for Nadine, just as he was for Keira. And from what he could see, Nadine was doing well. It seemed that eventually, she also learned to love the man her father had preferred for his ex-girlfriend.He had been single for a year now. As he mentioned before, he wanted to focus on his career first, and that's exactly what he did. It was Saturday, so he didn't have to work.He woke up late, and that was just how he was. Rest was something he needed too. Erik went to the kitchen to prepare something to eat.But he wasn't in the mood to cook, so he decided to leave the house to buy something to eat. His feet led him to an eatery. His favorite dish there was Sinigang na Bangus, so that's what he ordered.After he finished eating
SWEET SINNER (ENGLISH VERSION) “LONG TIME NO SEE”
It was almost dark when Mia arrived in Manila. If she hadn't been stuck in traffic, maybe she wouldn't have taken this long on the road. Outside the old house, Mia remained standing while quietly observing it.A long time has passed but she still feels a small pinch in her heart as she looks up at what is actually a big house standing in front of her.That's when Mia took action and pushed open the rusty gate of the house. She knows that tomorrow many of her neighbors will ask why her sudden return. And what happened to her?That was when a bitter smile broke on her lips.The way she looks right now, maybe no one will ask. Maybe they will just gossip about her. Those judgmental ones who knew her since she was a little girl.That's right.Because ever since Nana Rosita got sick and she was forced to cling to a knife to get and provide money for her treatment. And as far as she remembers, none of the people around her understood why she has to do such things except the late old foster m
SWEET SINNER (ENGLISH VERSION) "FIRST LONG CONVERSATION"
Erik sent her to the living room so they could continue the conversation there. After sitting down, the young man continued to the kitchen. It didn't take long because he came back with a glass of cold orange juice and a plate of buttered cookies."My workmate made it. Try it, delicious," he offered her, referring to the cookies on the plate.Mia nodded then took one with a smile. "Yeah, you are right, it’s delicious," she said suddenly feeling hungry so when she finished it she took another one."I'm sorry if it's late at night that you're forced to come here just to talk to me. Mrs. Ramos told me about you a while ago. I didn't even know you were coming," Erik explained. She even caught him glancing at the bag of rice, salted egg, and tomato by her side.Mia laughed softly at that. "I'm the one who should be apologizing to you. The truth is that I really need to find an extra income. They told me that in the job I'm going to enter, I need to heal these bruises and wounds on my face
SWEET SINNER (ENGLISH VERSION) "TEN YEARS AGO"
JUST like what Erik said, they had a good meal because he took her to an expensive buffet restaurant. At first, she was well, shy because she was wearing simple walking shorts and a t-shirt. But when the young man told her that her outfit was okay, she didn't protest anymore."Thank you for the delicious dinner," she said when Erik dropped her off right in front of her house.He nodded. "Alright then, see you tomorrow? Shall I pick you up, so you don't have to walk?" the young man asked.Mia laughed softly. "Of course, you don’t have to do that. Our houses are only an alley away, I'll just walk," she said as she was about to get out of the car but was stopped when the young man spoke again."Huh, didn't you leave the rice and salted eggs you brought earlier at home? I'll just go here, then I'll bring you some hot pandesal and liver spread. Can you make us a coffee?" Erik to her.Mia couldn't understand what kind of feelings caressed her heart because of Erik's words. But no matter wha
SWEET SINNER (ENGLISH VERSION) “NANA ROSITA”
"NANA, I have good news for you," when Mia caught up with her mother Rosita who was busy watering the ornamental plants in their yard. Just like before, the girl pushed the iron gate and kissed her mother’s hand when she got close to her. “I knew it already. Your classmate told me about it,” replied Rosita as she stares at her with so much affection. Mia's beautiful eyebrows met. "Classmate? Who is that classmate you’re talking about?" she asked in surprise. "That handsome boy? Son of Fidel and Aurora?" answered her mother. That's when Mia fully understood what her mother meant. And at the same time, she quickly felt a thrill that she couldn't stop because of the beautiful smile that broke her lips. "Ah, are you talking about Erik?" even though she already knew that was what her mother Rosita was referring to, she still felt good about saying that. "Yes," she said, returning the hose and accompanying her to the terrace of the house. "Very handsome boy. You know sweetie, if you

SWEET SINNER (ENGLISH VERSION) “THE LOST TREASURE 6”
"Why don't you call Mia so she'll have an idea about our arrival," Fidel, Erik's father, suggested.They were already on their way to the province. The journey would take eight to ten hours, and it was only four o'clock in the morning when they hit the road."I don't have her number, Pa. Honestly, I'm not sure if she changed her number or if her phone is always turned off. I've tried calling her several times, but still no response," Erik replied."Well, maybe it's better this way, without her knowing that you're coming. She'll be more surprised," his mother chimed in from the backseat of the car.*****"We have a problem, Mia," Nathaniel said, peering through the door of her room."A problem?" Mia asked her brother, her attention focused on packing her belongings. She was about to return to Manila, and Nathaniel, along with Aunt Ising and even Elena, would be accompanying her."I wasn't allowed to skip today. I'm sorry, but maybe we can leave after my last class, which should be afte
SWEET SINNER (ENGLISH VERSION) “THE LOST TREASURE 5”
"You can't travel to the province right now, son. It's too far, it's an eight-hour journey, to be honest," said Aurora while they were on their way home.Now he knew where Mia was, and he didn't want to waste any more time. He was eagerly anticipating seeing her. He wanted to bring his future wife home so he could take care of her, especially in her current condition."But Ma, I can't wait until tomorrow. I want to see Mia," she replied, keeping her gaze fixed on the road."But Erik, why don't you rest for a while?" Fidel interjected. "And besides, your mother and I would like to accompany you, the two of us together," he added.Erik couldn't contain the joy that quickly filled his heart upon hearing his father's words. He couldn't hide his feelings as he responded."Really, Pa?" he asked, briefly turning to look at his father.He heard his father let out a soft laugh before answering, "Of course. We also want to be there to help you sort everything out.""And besides, it's not safe f
SWEET SINNER (ENGLISH VERSION) “THE LOST TREASURE 4”
"E-ELENA?"As Aunt Ising recognized the woman who was busy hanging bedsheets in the back part of the shelter, Mia couldn't help but feel a quick throb in her chest. Then she looked up at her brother Nathaniel, questioning him with her eyes. And as he seemingly understood the meaning behind her gaze, he simply shrugged his shoulders."I-Ising?"The woman whom Aunt Ising called Elena responded."W-Who is she, Sister Cecilia?" Mia couldn't resist asking the accompanying nun."She is the woman who left you and your brother here in this shelter many years ago," Sister Cecilia answered her with a kind smile.Surprised or astonished?Mia couldn't determine which of the two dominant emotions prevailed in her heart.She also couldn't speak immediately because she remained transfixed, gazing at the woman.Just like what happened to her earlier with Nathaniel, she couldn't remember anything about this woman. But despite everything, a part of her heart couldn't deny that it suddenly felt an eager

"Ma'am Eden, someone is looking for you.”Bernie, their housemaid, Lita, said as she found her mother busy watering the plants in their garden in Manila."Who?" she asked, turning to them and quickly freezing upon recognizing him. "M-My son?" she stammered, dropping the hose and rushing towards him, embracing him tightly."M-Mom," he managed to say, returning the tight embrace. "I-I missed you so much," he added, tears streaming down his face.After a few moments, Eden led her inside their house. "Lita, prepare some food," she instructed, gently caressing his face."What happened, honey? Why did you run away?" she asked with concern when they were finally alone in the living room.Bernie immediately looked around their spacious home. "What about Dad? Where is he?" he asked, disappointed not to see him."He went grocery shopping. Since we heard about what you did, your father hasn't been at peace. So, I let him do what he wants to distract himself," her mother explained.Her mother's w

"Mama, forgive me if I have hurt and caused you pain," Erik pleaded, holding Aurora's hand gently.In response to his gesture, tears welled up in Aurora's eyes, streaming down her cheeks. "Please forgive me too, both your father and me," she replied, tapping his hand lightly.Erik smiled and nodded, understanding the depth of her words. He stood up and embraced his mother tightly. Then, he glanced at Fidel, who smiled back at him.Though it was a simple smile, Erik knew it carried profound meaning. In an instant, he felt a weight lifted off his chest, a burden he had been carrying for a long time. And he couldn't deny that it was because of his act of forgiveness towards his mother.Yes, he loved his parents dearly. And now, as a father himself, even though he and Mia had yet to welcome their child into the world, he had gained a deeper understanding of the true meaning of life. This was why he found it easy to comprehend and accept everything his mother had done and the choices she h

"Sometimes, I imagine that if Nana Rosita hadn't died, or if I had a sibling, maybe what happened to me wouldn't have occurred. I'm certain someone would have stood up for me," Mia shared as she finished recounting her story. The weight of her words quickly took effect, stirring a warmth in the corners of her eyes. Yet, despite her longing to let the tears flow and release her emotions, she managed to restrain herself. "What do you mean?" Nathaniel inquired, his gaze fixed upon her. She turned to face him, offering a bittersweet smile. "I'm just an adopted child, Nate." Gradually, she decided it was time to disclose the truth to him as well. After all, she had already confided in him the real reason for her presence there. "I was merely found, that's the truth," she began narrating her life story to Nathaniel. She recalled her first memories of being adopted and the journey that led her to Rosita, who had become a maternal figure in her life. "Are you all right, big brother?" sh
SWEET SINNER (ENGLISH VERSION) “WARNING”
"It's a good thing Erik decided to return to work. Even if you say that our future brother-in-law is extravagantly wealthy, he still needs to work hard. After all, why let the opportunity to earn money go to waste? Right, Rosanna?" Dahlia remarked with a strong undertone. It had been two weeks since she was discharged from the hospital, and they came to visit her."Of course. By the way, Mia, how are you and your future in-laws doing?" Rosanna replied, briefly aligning herself with Dahlia's comment before facing her directly.They were assisting her in preparing the ingredients for the Kare-Kare she was cooking for lunch. Erik had told her that he would only be working a half-day at the office today and would continue with other tasks at home.Honestly, she couldn't understand why Erik had been overly attentive to her since she was discharged from the hospital. It seemed as if he already knew about her pregnancy. It wouldn't be far-fetched since she had been admitted for a few days an
SWEET SINNER (ENGLISH VERSION) “LIVING ROOM 2”
Mia's senses awakened as she freely admired the nakedness of the man she was about to marry, slowly removing every article of clothing from his body. Erik's actions were incredibly pleasurable to behold, and in those moments, Mia felt abundantly blessed. Despite the countless women who had crossed this man's path, he had chosen her as his bride.Mia's heart fluttered at the thought. When she saw Erik move closer to kiss her, she welcomed it with unrestrained love and passion. She responded to Erik's kisses as if she were thirstier for him than ever before, losing herself completely in the process.Erik's gentle caress on her chest stirred something deep within Mia, evoking a soft moan from the depths of her throat. Their lips remained intertwined, while Erik's hand, nestled between her thighs, began to provide her with indescribable pleasure.Mia moaned once more when Erik's fingers skillfully explored her intimate flower, which was now drenched with desire. "You're soaked, Mia," that
