2021-08-05 13:21:10Diane’s P.O.V.
We had finished our lunch, and soon after, Liam bade goodbye. “Thank you so much, ma’am. I couldn’t agree more with what Diane told me earlier—your chicken adobo was truly delicious, I’m afraid that I’ll forget my name. If I don’t have to go to the office today, I’ll even stay and eat my dinner here. But maybe next time, I’ll go ahead for now.” Liam’s dimple was showing again when he talked to Mom.
“All right, Hijo. You’re always welcome here. Drive safely,” Mom smiled while reminding him.
I gasped, as my siblings were even surprised when Liam showed Mom an honoring gesture. He gently lifted her hand, bowed towards it, and pressed his forehead as a sign of respect. And when he did that, it was as if my heart melted again. But no, just melted was an understatement. Liam suddenly stole my heart, and I d

Leandro’s P.O.V.God! Does Diane really feel that I was choking her? Does she really feel that I was too obsessed with controlling her? Am I really suffocating her?Why? Was it a bad thing that I just loved her? That I couldn’t stop showing my real feelings for her? Was it awful that I wanted to protect her?Was it wrong to demand that I must be the only one to stay by her side, and no one else should matter to her?Nothing was wrong with how I used to express my love for her because it was only me who had the right to own her!Impatiently massaging my left temple while drinking my limited edition of French champagne, I was walking back and forth here in the living room of our mansion as my mood swelled with anger. Suddenly, something was knotting inside my chest that made me hard to breathe. I never relied on my instinct, but it w

Leandro’s P.O.V.I was hoping that Diane got home safely, and nothing bad had ever happened to her last night. For two years, I was only following her like a shadow. I ditched my work several times already just to make sure she would reach home completely safe. Maybe, it was about time for me to meet her family. I would also apologize to her brother if I scared him.Due to my adrenaline rush, I hurried out of the mansion and quickly got inside my car. It looked like I almost flew my car when I pressed its gas pedal, and the speed of one hundred twenty kilometers per hour was still not enough. I continued speeding up, and I didn’t care at all if I would beat the red light or cause any road collision.They should be the ones to avoid me if they didn’t want to be bumped over. “No one would even dare to mess with Leandro.” I scoffed.The world only revolved

Diane’s P.O.V.“Clariz, you are not going to dance for now. Shiela was absent today, so you will be the one to take her place instead as Aunt Lucy previously instructed,” Martina said while applying her contour makeup. We were currently in the dressing room, and I was wearing my mask.“Hmm, is that so? Okay, thanks for informing me then,” I replied without even looking at her.We were sharing one vast rectangular mirror with sparkling LED lights, so I could still feel that she was somehow glancing at me. In fairness, her tone was not a bit harsh as how she used to speak when talking to me. We were surrounded by scattered sets of different makeup and brushes, as well as glittering shoes and dresses.Shiela had to be the famous singer in the club, and she used to perform before my every dance number. She was also a part-time student, and we had the s

Diane’s P.O.V.“Huh? W-What do you mean?” I furrowed my forehead while asking. Suddenly, Martina killed me with her suspense acting.“It was Leandro,” Martina confessed audaciously.“What?” I couldn’t help but raised my voice. I didn’t expect them to have an intimate past together, that her revelation made me cover my mouth after being slack-jawed. “Oh my God! Really?” I couldn’t see my whole reaction right now because of my mask, but it looked like my face blanched.“Oh, don’t get me wrong! I never liked him even once, so you can have him all by yourself if you want. I just did what I had to do before to take my revenge on my ex-girlfriend who cheated on me. Leandro couldn’t even remember that we shared a bed anyway. In fact, he was only focused on you that he couldn’t even lay his eyes o

Diane’s P.O.V.It was Liam who was handsomely wearing a long-sleeved blue polo, that was tucked in his black slacks. He was clean-shaven, and his dimple was truly spectacular, despite our distance. His thick black hair was still unruly and was tousled into a medium textured haircut. I blinked my eyes a few times but while I was doing it, I was afraid that he would soon disappear over that area.Was it really him or my illusion was only playing with me?After a while, I could not help myself to be elated as I widely smiled while singing. My heart melted again, and imaginary butterflies twirled inside my belly.It was Liam, and I wasn’t only delusional.I felt like something in me literally jumped, and my heartbeats hastened as if there had been thousands of horses running inside my chest. He waved his right hand on me as his impressiv

Diane’s P.O.V.“We’re going out. I just came from a whole day of work, and I haven’t eaten yet my dinner,” he said with a magnificent smile. His deep dimple showed again, starting to melt me when I couldn’t even glance away. His tone sounded a little bit commanding, but it wasn’t throttling.Jeez, I’m so excited to be with him!Although Liam just declared it without even asking me if I would be willing to go and have some dinner with him, I still couldn’t contain this exhilarating feeling. My feet abruptly felt like barely touching the ground, and I guessed that it would not even take long for me to surely faint here.“Oh, sure thing! I’ll just need a minute to change my clothes. Anyway, take care of these for now. I’ll be right back, promise!” I responded hastily while handing him the red roses.

Diane’s P.O.V.“You are special to me, Diane… and for you, I will do anything even if it means doing the impossible,” he told me while holding my hand again as he made sure to occupy the space in between my fingers hard enough. It was the kind of hold that he never wanted to let my hand away from his clutch. I kept on smiling while silently talking to my heart.Be still, my heart. I knew how much you had fallen for Liam, but please calm down!In just a few steps, we already reached the reserved table for the two of us. Actually, I found it redundant. The whole restaurant was already reserved, then how come the table ended up being reserved too?Eventually, I just let it slipped away from my thoughts. It was good that he brought me to a Filipino restaurant because I didn’t feel like eating over some foreign and fine-dining restaurants.&n

Diane’s P.O.V.That made me blush and choke my food. Liam was respondent enough to give me some water before standing and approaching me. He then gently rubbed his palm on my back to stop me from coughing. It took me a while before I cleared my throat. It was my last spoon of blueberry cheesecake, and it was a good thing that I didn’t barf my food.“Are you alright now?” he worriedly asked me.I just nodded before my eyes gazed at him intently, almost raking his whole body.Why would he tell me such a thing?My heart was beating so fast again.“I’m sorry if I made you feel uneasy, Diane. I might have expressed my feelings over a pick-up line, but I just want you to know that I wasn’t kidding. I like you, and that’s the truth,” Liam said casually.“Hmm, o-kay. I&md

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
Sins of The Past 119 | The Consequence
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
Sins of The Past 114 | His Angelic Face
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
Sins of The Past 113 | Who Is Liam?
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
Sins of The Past 112 | Diane's Amnesia
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
