Slowly opening my eyes from the brutal nightmare that I experienced last night, I began to wander around the whole surroundings. Then, it sank through my head that it wasn’t just a nightmare.
Everything was real—my naked body was only wrapped under the comforter sheet, and an unknown man was lying next to me. That explained the obscure fatigue in my body. Last night, he raped me. The realization made me shrug my shoulders as my chest felt weak. Tears quickly blurred my eyes until they fell on my cheeks.
He was also naked from what he repeatedly did to me last night. He had a light-brown skin tone and was about six-foot-tall in height. His back was facing me, and I didn’t bother to look at his face. How and where on earth could I get the courage to look at my rapist’s face?
My eyes continued to roam around unt

Diane’s P.O.V.But I just didn’t get it. I was only waiting at a bus stop to get home last night. I dressed conservatively, I didn’t wear any makeup on my face, and I didn’t look like a prostitute! So, why would they kidnap me? Why me? Should I be thankful that only one man took away my virginity and I wasn’t gang-raped? Hell, no way!My lips couldn’t stop quivering as I continued to shed painful tears. I was still sobbing my heart out while sinking myself in the shower when my bathroom door opened and Mom strode in.She quickly approached me to hug my naked body. She was already soaked in the water before she turned off the shower knob. Concern was evident on her face, and I couldn’t help but burst into more tears when she opened her mouth.“Diane, what happened? Are you okay? We are already worried about

Diane’s P.O.V.After sauntering inside my bedroom, I languidly placed my bag and books on my study table. I felt exhausted when I didn’t even do something tiring. Still wearing my uniform, I sat on the center of my bed while hugging my knees out of despair. I just couldn’t help myself but overthink again.There was something different, and I just couldn’t explain it. My eyes wandered around my room until I fixed my stares on the dream catcher Liam gave me. It was freely hanged on my window. Then, I sighed. I was thinking pointlessly. I was lost and confused. After a few minutes, I became jittery and worried, making me gaze at nowhere while biting my nails unstoppably.Why is it that some of the events in my dreams are actually coming to life? What is happening to me?Why does it feel like sometimes, every single thing in my nightmares already happ

Diane’s P.O.V.Several days and weeks passed in an instant. Months went in a blur. My heart was full of gratitude, knowing that today was already my graduation.Everything felt surreal, but I just couldn’t get enough of being excited. My heart leaped up for joy, and my mind was engulfed with so much happiness. At the same rate, the feeling made my hands clammy with nervousness after remembering how I struggled to graduate.It was all finding a needle out of a haystack, and gladly, in just a few minutes, I would be able to hold that needle—my college diploma. I still couldn’t believe it, but the first step towards success was already in front of me. I needed to be prepared because this was only the start of something great.This is it! Board exam, you’re next!In the span of five months, a lot of things had happened. Th

Diane’s P.O.V.“Congrats to us, sissy! Oh my God, I didn’t expect that our graduation day could be this tearful. I’m so happy, yet at the same time, morose…” Karen congratulated me. She couldn’t help but look up to keep the tears rolling from her eyes. Her false eyelashes were even flickering while she was blinking back her tears.“Oh my God! It doesn’t suit the hell out of you, Karen. So eww! Stop being dramatic, or do you want me to pull out your fake eyelashes?” Lorenz barked. He was not seated beside us, but now, he was even squeezing himself to us.In fairness, his eyeliner, liquid foundation, and lipstick were even thicker than Karen and I’s makeup. I was beyond astonished when Liam sent a glam team to our house earlier this morning, but I could not argue with him anymore.I just told the hair and makeup artists

Diane’s P.O.V.For five months, I must admit that lovemaking had always been present in our relationship. It was like icing over the cupcake. A spark in our relationship. Well, it was a month after the first when we decided to do that again until it continued like it became normal for us to make love every once in a week.Completely drawn to Liam, I couldn’t help but be addicted to him. Whenever we were completely alone with each other, our bodies would always scream for sex. We could not get enough of each other that we would even reach up to five rounds on the same day.It was a good thing that my nightmares didn’t bother me much anymore, and I knew that Liam’s love had helped me a lot in that case. He was my human dream catcher.He was also the first person I would run into every time I got scared with my delayed menstruation period. My monthly period had a

Diane’s P.O.V.After our late lunch, Liam toured us in his magnificent and elegant hotel. It even reached up to the thirtieth-floor level. Denise couldn’t stop herself but run in the hallways while ogling about everything she could see. From the spectacular ceiling drapes and chandeliers, down to the brick-designed walls, Greek-style staircases, and red carpets, every single thing was truly amazing.The staff and crews were also showing great and authentic hospitality. Perhaps, because we were accompanied by Liam himself, but it doesn’t matter anymore. I could see some pairs of eyes glued in our direction, but I didn’t let them steal the show.We went to the scenic part of the hotel—the rooftop infinity pool where we could see a panoramic view of the famous Quego del Mar sea. Alongside the pool were a mini-bar and long deckchairs. It was a romantic, charming, and enchanting

Diane’s P.O.V.Wow, Balesin? Balesin Island Club Membership Fee starts at three million pesos! How about owning a private island there? Liam was truly rich!But, what else can I do? It looks like he’s willing to do even the impossible thing for me. Alright, let him be!Sometimes, Liam looked at me like I was a possession he couldn’t live without, but he always treated me with respect. He might be possessive in his own ways, but I must admit that I loved his possessiveness. In five months, never did I feel that I was only a second priority over his business. I always came first. He never failed to shower me with so much love and attention.“Okay, fine! I got what you mean, sir. I’ll just go to the bathroom and change.” A blissful smile suddenly escaped on my lips before I turned my back on him. I intentionally called him &lsq

Diane’s P.O.V.Two months after graduation, I took the CPA board exam and thanked God that I passed it with just one take. I would no longer spend time for another review in that case. Another good news was David also passed the Coach University College Admission Test for his upcoming college.He even topped it at ninety-eight, beating the previous record of ninety-one percent. Liam guided him, and my brother eventually decided to take Civil Engineering at Coach University. I was too proud of him that I couldn’t hide it. While treasuring every moment, I was filled with joyful energy, and my happiness was far beyond what I could take.“Well, these calls for a double celebration! Perhaps, this weekend? What do you think?” Liam suggested when we gathered in the living room. He would pick me up here in our house so we could go to work together.Liam indeed fulfill

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
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
