“You don’t understand, Diane… that’s why I want us to talk seriously. Please clear your mind first, and I’ll explain everything, okay? I wasn’t lying, and I wouldn’t ever do that to you. I was about to introduce you as my girlfriend a while ago, but you cut me off.” Liam held my hands tighter before he paused for a second.
“That kiss? It was nothing, Diane! I was also surprised by what she did. We were schoolmates in Harston, yes, but she’s not my girlfriend, and she’s never been. She was actually Leandro’s ex! You are my only girlfriend, Diane, and I will never take you for granted. Please believe me… I couldn’t afford to lose you.” Liam beseeched as he almost kneeled in front of me while kissing my hands unstoppably.
I chose to remain silent, but my tears were still gushing down my cheeks. I

Diane’s P.O.V.“Hmm… I don’t know either,” I replied quietly. I thought about where we could go for a while, and only one place entered my mind.“Yeah, right! Let’s go to the bar or any club here? I wanted to drink, Lorenz… don’t worry, my treat!” But of course, I would not invite him to the Lucy’s Club where I used to work before. Martina and the rest of the gang might still be there, and they would notice me for sure.“And when did you learn to go to such places, huh?” Lorenz asked in astonishment. Although I wasn’t looking at him, I was sure as hell that he even raised an eyebrow at me.I wasn’t able to answer him because we already passed by a place that I thought to be a high-class nightclub. Unstoppably patting Lorenz’s right shoulder for him to stop, he did nothing but parked his

Diane’s P.O.V.With blurry vision, I woke up with a heavy feeling to the point that I didn’t even want to get up from the bed. My head felt like it would crack open, so I just closed my eyes again and retreated under the soft duvet. That said, I moaned and hugged the pillow beside me because I just wanted to continue my sleep. But, after a few minutes…Argh! What happened?I held my forehead.It felt like my head was banging out loud, and I wanted to puke every time my stomach ached a lot. I couldn’t sleep anymore, so I dragged myself up and quietly sat on the bed. I closed my eyes again as if it would take away the imaginary and thick black clouds above my head. Waves of nausea were adding to my stomachache, making me feel useless.Only then, everything that happened last night sank into my brain—from damn happiness to ap

Diane’s P.O.V.Frowns immediately appeared on my forehead as I questioned her in bewilderment. “I begged your pardon, Nana?”The old woman just immediately understood that I was only making sure of what I heard from her. “Perhaps, the place where Liam saw you were just near here because he doesn’t come here much anymore. You know what? Liam was too picky when it comes to his clothes, and you just puked over his American coat.” Nana laughed before she continued.“But don’t worry, I already took care of it. Then, Liam asked me a favor last night if I could clean you up and change your clothes. Liam was still gentleman until now—he would not take advantage of you.”“Oh, I’m so sorry. I guessed I had been a total mess last night. Anyway, were you perhaps—Nana Lydia?” I asked her. “L

Diane’s P.O.V.“Think about what I said, Hija. You are so young, and you are probably too hasty in making decisions. Misunderstanding will do you no good. Don’t be impulsive. There is nothing wrong with the two of you talking to each other, but nothing can happen too if you will only prolong your argument.” Nana Lydia was effective in talking some sense to me.“If you really love Liam, never let him go. Do not let him lose you either. Life is too short to waste with unspoken things, what ifs, and what could have beens. Anyway… I’ll be out first to do some other errands, but I’m just downstairs if ever you need me. Your belongings are also in the living room, and I’ll bring those to you later on.”Feeling lucky to be surrounded by great people, I just nodded at her. “Yes, Nana. I won’t lose Liam, and I promise that we will sort thing

Liam’s P.O.V.“Babe, what’s the matter?” Isabelle asked me right after Diane left us inside the elevator. She was smiling like a bitch I never expected her to be.She then pushed the twenty-second and closed buttons using her right forefinger. I glanced at Leandro and he was also smiling like an idiot—as if being entertained with all this chaos. I stared back at Isabelle, and I ended up holding my forehead because she was indeed giving me some headaches. My expression turned dark, and it was quite a few seconds before I answered her.“Damn it, Isabelle… Diane is my girlfriend!” I clenched my jaws. I could hardly control myself anymore, causing me to raise my voice here in the elevator.I didn’t usually shout at women but because of what happened—seeing how Diane emotionally reacted to Isabelle’s lies—I cou

Liam’s P.O.V.With down shoulders, I returned to my office and plunged myself back to work. I instructed Trixie that she could go home before I went inside and locked the door. I received an email from Dad that Leandro would soon be flying to Davao with Isabelle to take care of the latter’s properties there. He would have wanted me to join the two, but I replied that I wasn’t interested.After that, I set a virtual and late afternoon meeting with some investors in Bordeaux, but no matter what I did, I still couldn’t focus. When Diane left, she brought my heart and mind along with her.The meeting ended, and that made me rest my back on my black office chair. I stroked my nape to deal with the pain in my neck. It felt like there was a nail being hammered into my lower back, and the radiating pain struck upwards, hitting my brain. I slouched my head back and pathetically rubbed my p

Liam’s P.O.V.Diane would surely freak out if she would wake up with me after our argument, and she might get mad at me even more. That was why I decided to just go to Nana Lydia first.She was our former housemaid, who almost raised Leandro and me. She would still come to the mansion to clean and cook for us. I knew that Kyla had a lot of clothes there, and I was sure that those would also fit Diane. Kyla was the only child of Nana Lydia, whom I considered a real sibling while growing up.While driving quietly, I just couldn’t help myself from glancing at the woman I loved. Diane’s appearance now was not that far from the way she looked before—the first time I saw her lying in the living room of my condo about four years ago.Although I searched for her, never did it occur in my mind that fate would still make a way for us to meet again. And not only that, sh
Last Updated : 2021-08-10Sins of The Past 090 | As Soon As Possible
Liam’s P.O.V.Diane was quick enough to grab my two arms before throwing up straight to my chest. Standing in front of her, I froze at my position while slowly internalizing what she did. Now I realized that nothing could beat my love for her… even the tailored price of this coat.How I wished that I was able to record everything that Diane had said. She confessed that she would never let me go and she would fight for me no matter what. That alone brought a confident smile to my lips, and just like what she admitted to me in the car earlier, my heart jumped again out of relief and satisfaction.It was actually shallow, knowing that Diane was even drunk at this time, but I would never trade that promise for anything else. Although she vomited at my favorite coat, I seemed not to smell her retch over my chest. It doesn’t matter anymore as I could easily buy a new coat. I loved her! I jus

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
Sins of The Past 117 | Those Brown Eyes
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
