Diane’s P.O.V.
“Hey, sis! Can you stop it?” David whined while fixing his hair that I slightly ruined. I smelled my right hand, and my nose creased upon smelling that the hair wax he used seemed to be stuck on it.
“Why? What about it? Can I no longer caress my brother? Hmpft! It was about time to sleep, so do you still need to fix your hair like that?” I wanted to laugh, but I chose to pout my lips to signify that I was quite fretting over his reaction. “Please be honest to me, David. Are you courting someone?” I asked after.
Denise unexpectedly appeared out of nowhere and interfered with our conversation. “Big bro already has a girlfriend, big sis! Believe me, he even went to that girl’s house,” she divulged to me while her round eyes seemed to dilate and grow much bigger than usual.
Then, I threw David some menacing stares
Unknown Person’s P.O.V.It had been three years already, but I still could not stop thinking about her. Three years had passed, yet I still could not find the woman I had been searching for.She was probably a minor by that time so, she might have looked different by now. But one thing was for sure—that she might have looked even better. She might have bloomed into a much prettier and sexier woman, but where could I find her? Where in the earth she could ever be found?I was willing to pay for any amount if I could find her sooner. For me, she was more than an ounce of gold. I wished that we could start all over again too—far from how we had met each other. I would trade everything for a single chance of being with her and make up for that one horrible mistake I did before.Smoldered with deep regrets from what had already happened, I would like to spare this one&md
Unknown Person’s P.O.V.Because I was not used to drinking too much, I didn’t know if I would consume all of it. I could drink in a shot glass, but what they were giving me right now was a huge beer glass, and the wine content already reached more than its half. “Of course, bro! Well, it should be bottom’s up and no excuse at all. It is your birthday today, and you will suit yourself with just a shot glass? Hell, there’s no fucking way! You have to drink hard. We will surely get drunk here later, so we will not allow you to end up sober! But anyway, this is just a glass of red wine. You will not get sloshed here,” Gabriel intruded. Jude and Daniel laughed as well.“Alright! I’m going to drink this, okay? But you, guys, have to promise me first that you will take this beautiful woman to her home safe and soun
Unknown Person’s P.O.V.I felt like being swayed on cloud nine. She had a natural fragrance that kept on attracting me towards her. I guessed her aroma blossomed from her head to toe. I was sure as hell that I could never get tired of kissing her the whole night even after dawn.She uttered something, but it ended up vague to me that I was not able to understand it. All I knew was I removed the only thing that covered her amusing breasts.Even though I couldn’t see those, I eagerly claimed the right while caressing the other. Nothing could stop me from doing this to her as if there would never be tomorrow. Her breasts were so huge that I ended up slurping her alluring peaks even more.Curling my fingers on her hair, I pressed my lips on hers again. I tried to be gentler as much as possible, despite whateve
Diane’s P.O.V.“Did you like it?” Leandro’s eyes were sparkling the moment he asked me.He was talking about the flowers that he gave me. It was the same bouquet of elegant red roses that he left on the asphalt cement outside our gate earlier.Leandro said that he left immediately upon seeing me rushing outside. After our last conversation that did not go well, he was ashamed to show up to me in front of our territory.We were now in one of the corners of Lucy's Club near the counter. He opted to buy me some refreshing drinks, but I refused.I just finished my dance number, and until now, I had not yet removed my mask while talking to him. I was ready to go home because I already timed out, so I also had my bag with me. It was fifteen minutes past ten o'clock in the evening, and I was sure that my brother was still awake waiting for me.
Diane’s P.O.V.He was silent for only God knew how long until he finally spoke. “I also knew your real name, D-Dayanara,” he confessed without even looking at me. I knew for a fact that he was guilty. It was damn obvious.That was it. Tears immediately welled up my eyes, but I let out a sardonic chuckle to hide my hurt feelings. The word hurt holds a lot more meaning than its usual definitions, and I was hurt because he lied to me.All this time, he knew, but he didn’t tell me?Although I did not reveal my real name, I still stayed true to him for the sake of our friendship. I kept myself cool and empathic, even though I had already predicted that this kind of terrible thing could happen soon. I felt betrayed. I trusted him more than anyone, but I guessed he was not trustworthy enough. People could say that I was too emotio
Diane’s P.O.V.“You must be referring to my brother, miss. I saw that he was the only one who left the parking area a few seconds after you entered my car. By the way, I am Liam. Liam Arthur Evangelista. Do not be confused—we might have looked like each other, but Leandro and I were not twins. So, may I have this chance to know the name of this pretty girl beside me?”His description of me made my brain float in the air. He painted a magnificent smile on his lips as he held out his right arm to reach mine for a handshake. There, I noticed a deep and gorgeous dimple on his right cheek.Liam Arthur. I liked his name. It was so handsome and suited him well.So, Leandro was his brother? Well, that explains why they look so alike. But what is he doing here in the parking lot of Lucy’s Club? He does not look like someone hanging out here.
Diane’s P.O.V.It was a good thing that the road was wide enough and had four lanes, so we would not disturb the other motorists here. Although while moving my head to search for a familiar landmark, I could tell that we were in an almost secluded part of the village.“Shit! I am so sorry, Diane. We lost gas. Tsk, I think I should have it full next time! I should have never been too confident,” Liam said apologetically.“It’s okay, I can manage.” I smiled. Incidents happen when you least expect them, so I had to understand the situation.He closed the roof of his car then patiently looked around the area until he decided to get out of the car. Perhaps, he would go and ask the owner of the store I was looking at. “Wait, stay here.”“I’ll join you,” I offered.Because of that, he
Liam’s P.O.V.Diane does not have any other choice but to come with me. I knew that it was not easy for her to be with me in just one room, considering the fact that we had only met today, but I thanked her for trusting me.For that, I would not do anything that could break her trust. If I had to sleep on the floor, then I would do it just for her to be comfortable in our current situation.The room was clean and fully equipped. It had its own bathroom, small balcony, air-conditioner, sofa, cabinet, fridge, and television. The only problem was the small bed. It was only a double size—too far from my customized emperor-size bed in my bachelor’s pad.In fact, my bedroom was way bigger even if I would triple the size of this room, but I could not do anything about it because I did not want to exert further efforts to go home now. I guessed this would be much better kno
Diane’s P.O.V.It was so clear that I had to close my eyes. I needed this memory because I was sure that it was one of those that I forgot. I had an absolute strong feeling that it would make me understand what was happening around me right now…“Why? Are you a nurse, Diane?” Liam asked, but I couldn’t focus anymore because his dimple was so mesmerizing. It used to tingle my insides, and when he lightly kissed the tip of my nose, it felt so good.“No, and there was no way I could be a nurse. I just really liked to read sometimes, and of course, I also took a short First Aid training course. I am actually an Accountancy student,” I affirmed before swiftly removing myself underneath his body. It was kind of awkward for me that I might forever want to be attached to him.Being under Liam’s body was so electrifying, b
Diane’s P.O.V.I hesitantly opened my mouth, afraid of my mother’s reaction once she would find out. But even before I could speak again, that Liam shamefacedly spoke in front of me, and I didn’t know why my heart pounded differently.Like me, his tears were flowing on his face unceasingly. And at some point, I could feel that his tears were real… and those were silently telling me to trust him.“Diane, please forgive me. Please… let’s start all over again and allow me to make up for everything. God knows I didn’t mean what happened, and if only I am sober that night, I would have never hurt you. I would have never ruined your life.”“Please listen to me. I was drugged by that time, and I didn’t even know how my friends got you. I commanded them to take you back to where they got you and not even lay a finger on you.
Diane’s P.O.V.What right does he have, to kiss and hug me just like that? He even had the guts, and the thickness of his face was beyond exceptional to show up here!He even knew the words, ‘Oh, God! I missed you so much,’ huh? And he also called me Diane? Crap! Coming from a rapist like him, I would never accept that!After the heinous crime that he did to me? After he ruined my dignity? After he ravaged me for so many times while filling his deadly lust on top of my innocent body? Does he really have the face to show in front of me after he tore my life apart and shattered my dreams?He never knew what I went through after that brutal night. I became a distortion that was unable to find my way back to my family. My physical body was able to get home the next morning, but my soul didn’t. Each day was a battle within me, as I never
Liam’s P.O.V.Although preoccupied, I cut my painful flashbacks when my cellular phone suddenly rang.“Hello?” I answered hastily with weary eyelids. I didn’t even get the chance to see who called and just answered my phone, thinking that it was the police officers and they already had an update regarding Leandro.“Hello, big bro? I know that you haven’t yet rested well, but this news can’t wait anymore. My sister was finally awake!” The voice from the other line was hinted with great anticipation, which was owned by none other than David—Diane’s teen brother.Depriving myself of sleep for two weeks now, I hadn’t yet slept since I came home this morning. My body was like it had been on a treadmill, wanting so much to press stop due to restlessness. But after hearing the great news concerning Diane, my muscles see
Liam’s P.O.V.“Don’t worry, big bro. My eldest sister had always been a fighter all her life, and who knows? She would soon open her eyes. Later, or tomorrow perhaps, I believed that she would wake up. Big sis would never leave us.” Denise tried to comfort me. Her nose was as red as a tomato due to her non-stop crying.She then hugged me, and I returned the same hug to ease her pain too. At these times, I didn’t know where I could get the additional courage to be strong.Actually, I admired Denise. At the age of three, she was deprived of a chance of having a real father to look up to, but she still remained bright and cheerful. She was like Diane, strong-willed, and I hoped that my fiancée would surpass the operation.That was when I saw how Shey and the rest of our company rushed in our direction. Apart fr
Liam’s P.O.V.“D-Diane, are you okay?” I knew she was not, and yet, I still asked her. My heart sank when she just smiled at me before her eyes heavily drifted, prompting her to lose consciousness.“No, Diane… o-open your eyes, please! Oh, God… please, don’t take her away from me.” My right hand softly held her cheeks. I touched some of her blood, and the pain was burning within me.‘Goddamn it!’It was all my fault. If I hadn’t rushed us to get married—if we hadn’t left tonight and just moved the flight tomorrow morning—this accident wouldn’t have happened at all.And one more thing—I should have checked the car first before using it. But I couldn’t help but wonder about how this happened.A
Diane’s P.O.V.Had we been together for years? But how did we first meet, and how did he propose to me that he wanted us to get married? Did he do the traditional way of kneeling while holding the ring?Did he do it in front of my family? Did I say ‘yes’ easily? How romantic was it, and what did I exactly feel about it?So many questions began flooding my mind and speaking of his marriage proposal, I automatically looked at my hands. Then, I saw something that was marvelously shining on my left forefinger.It was a fabulous engagement ring. It was comprised of two rings in one, with the upper ring having a big diamond at its center.Wow! Just wow!I gasped for air while still couldn’t help myself but get completely amazed about how it looked. Words were not enough to precisely describe how I
Diane’s P.O.V.So, I forgot the last four years of my life? I lost the last four years of my memory? But how can I take them back? God, please! I need to get them back.Hopeless and left with no other choice, I just couldn’t help myself but shed tears again. I tried to remember what happened to me after that incident four years ago, but I couldn’t remember any further details, aside from my best friends, Karen and Lorenz.The latter was even a bit feminine, and that was all I knew. It was just unfortunate because when I woke up earlier, the two just went home. My mother told me that my best friends hardly left my hospital room. The two were even acting raucous in an attempt to wake me up as soon as possible.However, I didn’t know how to face them both because, at some point, they might look like strangers to me even though we were all best o
Diane’s P.O.V. I opened my mouth, but no words came out of it. With how butterflies tingled my stomach from that memory, I could feel like my heart was exhilarating, pulses were racing, and everything was real. At the same time, I got frustrated—feeling unfulfilled. Did I have a boyfriend, and it just happened that my mind had forgotten him? But how? My mind naturally stirred back into the present, but my heart looked like it dwelled in the past. It was trying to pull my inner self to remain in my trance. It was a good memory and worth keeping safe in my heart, but I wanted to fully remember it back. “Diane?” The doctor called me, dragging me out of my reverie. “Yes, Doc. If I wasn’t mistaken, t-they are my best friends… Karen and Lorenz?” I told the doctor as I dismissed the mentioned guy from my recollection. I
