RODNEY'S POV:

XIU MANSION

Harold and I are talking in the living room.

"What are we going to do Rodney? She can't marry Brent just for the sake of the baby, this will be a talk of the town," Harold said.

"Actually, she can. Just like Pops did to me and Sushmita," I said.

"It's different Rodney, you choose Sushmita for your own sake because you like the girl. Don't tell me you agree with this?! Pop doesn't want another Garcellano in the family, you know that," he said.

"Well, Pops is dead, so," I said.

Harold shook his head to disagree, "I can't believe you're saying that to me,"

"I'd rather have Brent rather than Edward in the family. That jerk has a lot of women. I don't want my only sister to live in vain with him," I said.

"Well, you're right, so are you permitting their marriage?" he asked.

"Yeah, it's the least that I can do to my brother-in-law and to my sister, just let Abbigael decide on her life, she's old. She can take care of herself and she deserves to be happy,"

    SUSHMITA'S POV: Today is the day. This is it. My dreams are finally happening again. "A lovely day everyone, my dear family and friends, we would like to introduce to you the newest Resto-Bar in town with Filipino and Italian cuisines right in front of your tables while looking at the beautiful shores of Bacuit Bay, let's have a round of applause for The Stars Resto!" Rod announces while all of the guests applause and screams in excitement because we have an opening promo. "And especially, the woman behind it, please welcome Ms. Sushmita Erin Garcellano!" Rod added and they clapped their hands to me. Rod handed me the scissors so that I could cut the ribbon. It was one of the happiest moments in my life but also, the most tragic. I cut the ribbon but a bullet suddenly struck my right chest, it came out of nowhere. I never saw who shot me and the cold rushed through my body quickly as I was laying weak on the floor."Sushmita! No! No! Help! Somebody, help!" Rod is panicking at that

    SUSHMITA'S POV: I was walking at the Garcellano Mansion. I don't know why I'm here, I guess I miss home. I heard the sound of the piano making some rhythms and then I saw my mother, sitting in front of it, she was looking at me. "Come here, Love," she said as she saw me and I walked close to her. "Mom," I said and hugged her. I never saw her in years and I'm so happy that I saw her right now but why am I seeing her? Am I dead? "You've been a good girl and I'm so proud of you, my little Mita," she said with a smile on her face. "Mom, I miss you so much but why were you here? Am I dead?" I asked her and she smiled at me. "Not yet Sweetheart, it's not your time yet, I'm here because I know how troubled you are right now," she said and she wasn't even wrong. I am troubled. I know that. "Mommy, I don't know anymore, life is so cruel, and sad these past few months," I said to her while she was brushing my hair with her hand. "Honey, try to remember the truth. It will set you free. I

    RODNEY'S POV: I stood on the terrace of the Villa where Sushmita left this house unexpectedly. I'm just here, standing and looking at the view of the sunset slowly kissing the calm sea. Sushmita, My love, where are you? It's been two weeks and I couldn't find you. I'm getting close to losing my mind. I know I have so many shortcomings and broken promises to you but my life won't be completed without you. My icy stoned heart turned into a hot blazing fire when I met you. The waves in the sea of my thoughts begin to be silent and calm when you kiss me for the very first time and the merciless demon monster inside me seems to vanish when you give yourself to me. I didn't realize that you are capable of loving and accepting my imperfections. But now that you're nowhere to be found, my longing seems to get worse and worse day by day, like a hungry wild animal waiting patiently for his prey to come and the alcohol is the only friend I have.

    SUSHMITA'S POV: It's afternoon and the sun is preparing to set down to give way to the moon again. I couldn't wait any longer, so when Rod fell asleep, I escaped his Villa and drove his car. It was 8 in the evening and I was blinded by the darkness of the atmosphere around me. It's cold and I feel the chills on my body, shivering. I need to find the key. I can see the Villa now but something catches my eyes when I look at the rearview mirror. There's a black car following me so I drove fast until I reached the speed limit. I don't know who's following me but one thing is for sure, they will not do good. As soon as I reached the Villa, I noticed that the one who was following me all along was Rod, so I got out of the car and lured him to the shore. I kept on walking because I knew that he was following me. "Erin, what's happening? come on sweetie, tell me," he said, trying to pursue me. "Just leave me alone, Rod!" I yelled so that he could hear me. "What's going on?! Why are y

    SUSHMITA'S POV: We were both silent on our way to some place that I didn't know because he didn't want to tell me and it's so dark and the wind is turning cold. He opened the stereo of his car and the music flowed all over. We were listening to 'Heat Waves by Glass Animal' now that set up the mood while I'm still crying. "We're here," he said and turned off the engine of his car and got out and opened the door for me. He helped me get out and when I saw the place I was astonished by the view. It was the same as I saw it four years ago. I don't know what to say, I'm just crying. I can't believe what I'm seeing right now. Is this for real? "It looks the same right? but I only re-design it because they already renovated the place but I don't want to lose our memories here so yeah, I hired someone to do the work to make this place look the same again," he explained. He stretched his arms and reached out to me. "Come on in," just like he did four years ago. But.. I'm still in dou

That's why I immediately got dressed and got the key on the pocket of his slacks and opened the door carefully not to make a sound so that I would not wake him up. I went to Rodel's Bar and saw Dave there polishing some wine glasses. "Miss Sushmita, sorry but the bar is closed for tonight," Dave said. "I'm here for Rodel. Where is he? Where's your brother?" I asked. "He's at my Villa, drinking, after you ditch him," Dave said and chuckled. "Correction Dave, he fooled me, so I didn't ditch him.Can you take me there? I need to talk to him," I asked. "Are you sure? We don't want any trouble Miss. I heard your husband is here," he said. Well, he's right. "Please? I really need to see him and talk to him, I didn't mean no harm," I asked again. "Okay," Dave said and put the wine glasses back on the rack and threw his apron on the side. I hopped in his car and he started to drive. It was 4 in the morning when I checked my phone. His Vill

I lost my balance and immediately fell on my knees and burst into tears. It was all my fault. I'm the one to blame here. "I'm sorry Honey, I'm so sorry Rodney. I didn't mean to do this to you, I'm so sorry," I said while he was still sleeping. I said it in front of him while crying so hard. "Don't worry, I will set you free now, free from all the pain that I caused you," I said and kissed his forehead. As soon as I did that I left him and went to the Villa to pack my things. "Miss Sushmita? where are you going?" Daniel said and followed me to the room."It was all my fault Daniel," I said to him while getting my stuff and placing them on my big luggage. "What do you mean?" he asked, puzzled in front of me. "Do you see that big burned scar on Rodney's face? It's my fault! it's my fucking fault Daniel! I hurted him! I don't des

Thank you, Debbie," "Mita, you can just stay here, with us. It's alright," "I'm sorry Debbie but I really need to go this far. Far from Rodney," "What happened? What's going on? I heard that you and him signed an annulment. It's all over the news. Is he trying to hurt you?" "No. He wants to come back to me but I don't want to," "Oh, well, that explains a lot. Okay, I have something urgent to do. I'll talk to you later, bye and take care!" "Bye!" She dropped the call and I continue to walked out of the airport and I saw some cabs waiting so I grab one and immediately hopped in. "Where to, Miss?" the driver asked. "Uhm, can you take me to The Ritz Plaza? 235 W 48th St. please," I said. "Alright, well that's a nice place," the driver said and smiled at me. He looked like a man in his forties. "My best frien

    SUSHMITA'S POV: I woke up having a headache but I was astonished to wake up in an unfamiliar room. “Where am I?” I asked myself but I was shocked when I saw a man wearing only his boxers. His brown eyes met my gaze and I can't help it, my heart is racing. I think I saw those eyes before. The way he stares at me, it's full of love and sincerity.“Oh, finally you're awake,” he said and smiled as he swung into the bed and sat in front of me. I can’t understand what I’m feeling. The man in front of me is so gorgeous and my heart is beating so fast but not because he is handsome and perfect but his brown eyes. Just like Rodney’s. “Who are you? Where am I?” I asked but I felt a sudden sharp pain on my head. “You got so drunk last night when we met and… yeah this happened, I’m Rodney by the way, Rodney Chen of the Chen Group of Companies,” he said and raised his hand to perform a handshake. Damn it, his name is Rodney too. “Uhm, Sushmita Xiu,” I said and took his hand. I can feel the

We were at the Fusion Paradise Bar having some tequila shots. They said that the owner of this Bar is a successful young lady at my age. The music was too loud so no one heard her but me. “What’s the problem with that?! I just wanna ease the pain, my husband is dead. I can't bring him back so I'm just gonna dance the night away,” I replied as the thoughts of Rodney flowed through my mind. Our life together. Our hopes and dreams. Our ups and downs and our happiness. Our little Romita. I guess I’m so drunk tonight but I don't care. I just don't want to feel sad. My head is spinning and my vision starts to blur but I don't want to leave Debbie so I will just dance with her until we get tired. “Party, party!” Deborah shouted so I just smiled at her. ***D

I really appreciate it, oh and yeah, take care of the watch please,” I said while holding my brush to comb my hair. “Yes, don’t worry, I will start to investigate when I’m done with some other errands,” he assured me. “Okay, goodnight Daniel, I mean Don Ezekiel Xiu,” I said and raised my eyebrows and he smiled. “Do you really have to do that?” he said and giggled. “What? You're now the mafia Don taking care of Rodney's business but I still like to call you Daniel,” “Just keep it that way Miss, goodnight and goodbye for now. If you need me, I’m just a call away,” he said and waved goodbye to me. As soon as he left, I grabbed the flash drive on my purse and inserted it on my laptop.

That familiar pain is still lingering on me. Daniel is just puzzled beside me, I don't know why. He is emotionless, he's not even crying. "Daniel, are you alright?" I asked. "Yeah, I'm fine, Miss," he replied. "My baby is due in a month, and I haven't bought some hospital stuff yet, can you help me this afternoon?" I asked him. "Oh, which reminds me, actually Miss, Boss prepared everything the night he died. He was so excited when he knew that he was going to be a father so he contacted a personal shopper and had them buy some stuff and hospital needs for you and your baby," Daniel explained."Oh my god, really?" I said, trying to control my emotions. It's both happiness and sadness. "And I will show it to you now, shall we?" he asked. I looked at Rodney's grave and felt the cold hard ground.

It is so authentic and unique that only a few have it so I called Daniel but he’s not answering his phone. I checked the watch for some clues but I couldn't find anything. I’m kinda frustrated searching for some answers. I wanna know what’s inside of this treasure I’m holding. I kept on dialing Daniel’s number and he answered it finally after dialing it twice. “Hello, what is it, Ms. Mita?” “Can you come over? I need to talk to you,” “I’m sorry but I can’t right now, maybe some other time,” “Daniel, this is urgent,” “What urgent? Are you gonna give birth now?” “No. not yet, but I need to discuss about something,” “Okay, look.

    SUSHMITA'S POV: I never thought that this would come in my life. Rodney is gone forever and I left wounded. The wound is so deep that it can crush my heart and soul. I held my belly to feel my baby kicking inside me. She was growing well. I didn't have the chance to tell his dad that she's a girl. I walked slowly inside of our bedroom. I can still smell his Salvador Dali perfume all over. I opened the automatic washing machine and saw all of his dirty clothes. He didn't have the time to do the laundry so he stuck all of it there. I ordered Loreta not to wash Rodney's belongings as soon as I got here because I want to be the best wife that he ever had and do all his laundry while he was away but I can't do it now. I smelled his white polo and t-shirt. It was him, I carried all of his dirty clothes and put it on our bed. As soon as I laid down, I smelled it again and closed my eyes, wishing that he would be here beside me. I can clearly see his face now, smiling at me. His big bro

"Cover your ears Honey, it's alright, I'm here," I did what Rodney said. We were almost at the Airport, and as soon as we got there Daniel already grabbed my luggage."Come on, Miss," Daniel said and gave me his hand so that I could grab it. "B-but Rodney," I said while looking at Rodney. "Go Honey, I'll be fine, I just need to finish this, all of this, remember what I tell you. I'm sorry, I love you so much. Take care of our baby," he said and kissed me quickly and then he helped me get out of the car. "I love you too, Rodney," I said."I know, now, go! before it's too late, there's no time," he said and Daniel pulled me closer to him and had me enter the Airport. We're suddenly on the plane now going back to the Philippines. I travelled with a heavy heart again, I just watched the skies and the clouds dancing in the atmosphere.
