SUSHMITA’S POV:

“What about Rodney?” Lana asked but we got interrupted by the waiter.

“Here's your frappe, enjoy,” the waiter said as he put my frappe on the table with a 2 ply of tissue on it and immediately left.

“Damn it, for god's sake, that waiter is flirting with you,” Royce said as he threw a cold angry stare at the waiter.

“Just let him and don't make a scene here, Royce,” I said.

“Okay, let's continue, we don't have all the time in the world,” Lana said.

“You're so serious, babe, all the time,” Royce said.

“Can you just shut the fuck up?” Lana said and stared sharply at Royce.

“You know that Rodney just died and–” I said but Lana cut me off.

“Of course Dear, I know this is so difficult for all of us, it's really hard, I know that you're grieving so much and–” she said but I cut her off because she doesn't understand what I’m trying to say.

“No, Lana,”

“No?” she asked.

“Well yeah, I'm grieving but… actually, I want revenge. Don't worry, I’m willing to pay a large a

    SUSHMITA'S POV: ONE YEAR LATER…“You're such a badass Mita! your baby is just one year old and you're here with me, clubbing!” Deborah shouted those words as we we're dancing in front of the dance floor while holding some drinks. 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

    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

    El Nido, Palawan 2019I watch the sunset as it slowly kisses the calm sea. It was a peaceful afternoon when my older sister Deborah called me, "Sushmita what are you doing here? It's your birthday. We should be celebrating the whole day. Why are you all alone?" I stared blankly at her as she walked closer to me. "I don't mind being alone. Look at the view, it's so beautiful, right?" she sat down beside me. She looked at the view and smiled and said, "Well, you're right, it's quite relaxing, let's take a picture," she said as she opened the lid of her DSLR Camera. We struck a pose and smiled as soon as we saw the countdown on the timer and looked at the pictures. We began laughing at ourselves as we saw the pictures on the camera. "Come on now," she said and grabbed my hand to pull me back into the Villa where my family held a birthday party for me. It's my eighteenth birthday and I decided to celebrate it on the beautiful beach of El Nido, Palawan. "But I don't wanna go back there,

    May 2022"Maybe there's another way, Dad," Brent said to the board meeting. He was so tense because of the company's decreasing sales. He was my eldest brother and the current CEO of the Garcellano Group of Companies. "What way Brent? Show us, tell us what to do," Daddy said. I wasn't paying attention to the meeting but this meeting is all because of me having an arranged marriage to someone whom I don't even know personally."Come on. Sushmita is too young to get married, Dad," Deborah said, taking Brent's side. "Sushmita darling, what do you think about marriage?" Daddy asked while reaching my hand. He softly pressed it. "I don't actually know, Dad," I said to him as I shook my head. "See. She doesn't want it Dad, no one wants it," Brent agreed to me. "Oh, I want that. Just look at the bigger picture. We were in the middle of a higher debt and our sales are decreasing. If Sushmita accepts the offer, then all of our problems will be solved. The Xiu family will give us three hu

    Rodney stood up as I walked closer to him. He reached my right hand and grabbed it. His hands are so warm. I like it."Come," he said as I took a walk with him. I couldn't see anything because the place was covered in darkness. "Where are you taking me? Does my dad know about this?" I asked him. All I can see now is his sexy back and brushed up black hair as he holds my hand while we are making our way through a corridor. I can tell that he is quite a catch but why is he hiding his face? "Yes they already knew it. I ask your father for permission if I can take you out for dinner," He simply said. "Wait, correction Mr. Xiu, you didn't ask me out, you kidnapped me," I complained. "You wouldn't go with me anyway. That's why I forced you," He said while shaking his head. "How did you know that?" I asked. "I just know," He said as he opened the door and I got blinded by the light that came from that room.I just noticed that he was wearing a mask to cover his face. When we entered t

    I got home safely after a what-so-called-date that Rodney set up. “How was it, darling?” Dad asked as he waited for me to enter the living room. He was sitting prominently with a newspaper in his hands.“It was fine, dad, Rodney is really nice and a gentleman," I lied, but I didn't care. “Really? Then it's good. All settled. You should rest. Have a goodnight, dear," He said as he reached out to kiss my forehead. “Good night, dad, I love you," I sincerely said to him as I looked into his eyes. “I love you too, sweetheart. I'm sorry, if you need to do this,” He sincerely said, and that's what I've been waiting for. “No. Don't be Dad, I promise you, I will be fine with Rodney. I'm going to have a better life,” I assured him, but I'm not so sure about myself. “Very well then, get some nice sleep tonight,” He said as he walked me into my room.My tears fell as I closed the door. I was holding it already when I got home and finally, I released it but suddenly, my phone rang, it was th

    I heard someone open the door of my bedroom but I knew that I locked it. How did this stranger open it? I heard footsteps. It's not Ranz because if that was Ranz, he would run and wake me up but this stranger walks slowly. I was too lazy to open my eyes when I felt that the stranger was sitting on the side of my bed. I slowly moved and opened my eyes and I was shocked that Rodney was there, he was still wearing his mask and all groomed.I immediately sit on the bed and fix my hair. "I told you, I will pick you up at seven. Right?" he said and I immediately turned on my phone and it was exactly seven o'clock in the evening."Oh no, I fell asleep, I'm sorry," I sincerely said to him. "Looks like you enjoyed your weekend too much," He frankly said."How did you get in here?! I swear that I locked my door!" I said grumpily to him and crossed my arms. "It's just easy honey, now. Get up and get dressed, I will wait for you in the living room," he said and stood up to leave the room. I

    "All settled then, welcome to the family, Sushmita darling." Don Hernan said. "Thank you, Mr. Xiu," I said."Call me 'papa' from now on," he said.I just smiled at him as I held Rodney's shoulder. "It's gonna be a grand wedding," daddy said to Rodney but he just nodded his head. He's really a silent type. "Yes, but I still want the simplicity of it dad, and please, no media. I want a solemn wedding," I pleaded to my father because I don't really like the media taking pictures of me and Rodney. "Well, maybe a little bit because the people need to see that," daddy said. Do we really need to show off to the press? Maybe dad knows something that I don't and I need to know that. "Sir, can I borrow Sushmita for tonight? I will take her back home safely, don't worry," Rodney said as we walked through the lobby with my dad. I don't know what he's up to. "Sure, as you wished. Take care darling, I will go home first," dad said as he went to the SUV with our family driver, Miguel. "Take

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

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.
