Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 13: Upset
Josh Rain Montez"Hey, Josh! Long time no see. I thought you wouldn't come?""What made you think that I wouldn't go?" I lazily sat beside Ethan and reached for the bottle of alcohol he was drinking. I poured some into a shot glass and downed it. I felt the warmth of the liquid hitting my stomach."Rica said you're a good boy now," Ethan grinned at me while pouring alcohol into a shot glass and taking a sip."Really? Are you a good boy now, Josh? That's why you weren't here during the last session," Rodnie suddenly joined the conversation, squeezing himself between Ethan and me. He sat down there."I was just busy these past few days because of our game," I replied, refuting their claims."Oh? Is that so? I thought it was because someone's prohibiting you," Rodnie said with a sly smile."What?""Hey, Josh! Why are you here?" We turned our heads when Sissy, accompanied by Sydney, came out of the kitchen. Ethan sweetly smiled at Sydney and gestured for her to sit beside him."Wh
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 14: Missing
Yannie Ace Ruiz"I really can't search for him," Jenny said while busy with her cellphone."Same here. Maybe he deactivated his social media account," Ivory added."Maybe," Veron said, then shifted her gaze to me. "You should try calling him on his cellphone if he's not responding to your texts," she suggested to me.I took a deep breath, biting my lower lip. It's been three days since Josh stopped talking to me. He hasn't been responding to my text messages, and he deactivated his social media account. I don't know how to tell him that I've decided to attend the 4SBLUE fandom gathering this Saturday and meet him. I didn't plan on changing my mind, but when I told Veron about it, they insisted that I should go. Honestly, I really wanted to attend and see him. However, I wasn't ready yet because I lacked confidence. I was afraid that he might see me differently in person. I mean, I won't pretend to be someone I'm not. Josh is handsome, famous, and comes from a well-off family. Even
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 15: Encounter
Yannie Ace RuizI quickly checked my phone when it vibrated due to a received chat.Rica: See you, Yannie! Take care of you and your friend (smiley emoji)Me: See you, Ate. Take care, too.After replying to Ate Rica, I looked at myself again in front of the mirror in the ladies' room of the mall where Veron and I agreed to meet. I had just arrived and immediately headed to the restroom to check my appearance once more. Once I finished, I left and grabbed my phone to send Veron a message informing her that I was already here.Before I could type a message for her, her name suddenly appeared on my phone's screen. I quickly answered her call."Hello, Veron?""Yannie!""I was just about to text you. Where are you? I'm here—""Yannie, I'm sorry," Veron swiftly interrupted me from the other end of the line."Huh?""There's an emergency at home.""Emergency?""Yes. I'm sorry, Yannie, but I might not be able to make it. Honestly, I've already changed, but my mom needs me at our ea
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 16: Misunderstanding
Yannie Ace RuizEach beat of my heart is pounding loudly as I stare directly at Josh. I can't believe he's right in front of me now."So, that's it. You said you wouldn't come because you didn't want to see me," Josh said, his tone filled with disappointment.I swallowed and quickly tried to explain, "It's not like that, Josh—" But he immediately cut me off."Okay," he said, his eyes filled with disappointment. Then he began walking past me towards the restaurant exit. My feet automatically moved, and I quickly followed him outside."Josh, wait!" I shouted loudly, making him stop in his tracks. I hurriedly went in front of him to face him. He had to stoop down a bit because he's so tall for me. "Josh, let me explain. The truth is, I really came here to see you—" I was silenced again as he grinned at me as if telling me that what I was saying was unbelievable."Really, huh? You came here to see me? While you declined my invitation to meet, and now you're telling me this?" My heart
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 17: Missed Call
Yannie Ace RuizI woke up because of the sunlight hitting my face from the window of my room. I slowly opened my eyes and checked the time on the clock hanging on the wall. It was already past nine in the morning. I stretched and finally got up, sitting on the edge of the bed.Today is Sunday, but due to not feeling well since I got home yesterday, I informed Mrs. Maricel that I wouldn't be able to come to the store today. She agreed, and Jomar would take care of the store. I apologized to Jomar, and he assured me that it was okay.I didn't feel well last night. I had a headache and a cold, probably due to arriving late with Jomar on our way back to Biñan.I grabbed my cellphone from the table beside my bed, and my eyes widened when I saw that I had one missed call. My heart raced before I even checked who called. I wasn't mistaken when I saw Josh's name. He called around 3 a.m. this morning. My phone was on a silent mode, so I didn't wake up when he called.I swallowed quickly as
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 18: Mirage
Yannie Ace RuizSince earlier, Josh has been on my mind. I've been constantly keeping an eye on my cellphone, just in case he calls again, and I won't miss it. Eight days have passed since that first night we met. Perhaps he's still in Samar at this time, just as he mentioned to me before. Maybe that's why I can't reach him whenever I try to call.After a while, I decided to open my social media account and tried searching for him. To my surprise, I found him there. His account is activated again!I bit my lower lip and went to his timeline, where I saw his latest post from 3 hours ago.'Got a signal for a while, but still couldn’t talk to the person I want to talk to…'My heart pounded as I read that. I despise making assumptions, but this time, I admit I couldn't help but think that he might be referring to me, especially since he had a missed call from me earlier, exactly 3 hours ago.His post had over 1,000 reactions with 500-plus comments. It suddenly occurred to me how popu
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 19: Back Off
Josh Rain MontezEach beat of my heart echoes loudly as I continue driving my car. I was supposed to stay in Samar for ten days, but since our foundation's mission concluded early and successfully, we headed home earlier today.I directed my way to Las Piñas, where my car was parked, and now, I am currently traveling towards Biñan... towards Yannie.During my time in Samar, Yannie never left my thoughts. I tried to distract myself and focus on the other tasks, but whenever I had free moments, she would occupy my mind entirely. I couldn't shake off the memory of her tearful eyes because of me. With each passing hour and day, it felt like I longed to talk to her or see her. So, whenever I had a chance to find a signal in that province, I made sure to do so. And whenever my phone caught a signal, Yannie was the first person I contacted. However, I failed every time, never managing to speak to her even once in all my attempts. I started to think maybe she didn't want to talk to me anymo
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 20: Notification
Yannie Ace RuizMy cellphone rang in the midst of my busyness studying with my friends. I quickly took it from my skirt pocket and eagerly checked who was calling. I slightly bit my lower lip when I saw that it wasn't the person I expected."Who's that? Why do you seem disappointed?" Jenny asked when she noticed I was just staring at my cellphone's screen."Huh? I'm not disappointed," I quickly replied and answered the call. I stood up from my seat and moved a bit away from my friends."Hello, Yannie?" Ate Rica greeted me from the other line."Hello, Ate," I responded."Are you busy right now, Yannie? Did I disturb you with my call?""No, Ate. We don't have classes yet," I quickly replied. "Why did you call?""In that case, can you come out for a moment?""What?""I'm in front of your school. You're in PUP Biñan, right?""W-What are you doing here?" I asked Ate Rica in amazement over the phone."I passed by a friend, so I thought of dropping by to see you, too," she replied

Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Epilogue:
"Yannie..." Ramil uttered my name with a hint of concern when he saw me entering Josh's room.I looked at him questioningly until my gaze landed on Josh's empty bed. My brows furrowed slightly."Where's Josh?" I asked Ramil and Byron. The two took a deep breath, and I could see the worry and concern on their faces. It seemed like they had something to tell me but were hesitant. "Why? Did something happen? Where is Josh?" I asked again.Before answering, the two exchanged glances, seemingly urging each other to respond. Eventually, Ramil met my eyes and spoke. "Josh left. We caught up to him, but... he wouldn't be stopped.""Huh? What do you mean he left? Where did he go? Did he go home? Was he discharged?" I asked, confused and bombarding them with questions."He insisted on being discharged by his doctor. He left and went to the airport... to chase after Arriane," Ramil replied."H-Huh?""Arriane told him she was continuing her studies abroad. So, he hurried off to the airport to cat
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 110: True Love
Yannie Ace Ruiz"Nice! Nice try, bro. But drop that joke," Ramil broke the silence that enveloped us after Josh asked who I was."What try? What joke?" Josh asked Ramil, confused."Bro—""I'm serious. Who is she? Who are they?" Josh pointed at me and Veron."Get it together, bro. This isn't funny—""You get it together," Josh quickly interrupted Byron, then looked at me again. His gaze was far different from how he used to look at me. It was as if my presence confused him deeply. It was as if he had forgotten everything about me—everything about us.Because of those looks, my heart immediately grew heavy. I couldn't explain what I felt at first."Son!" Josh's parents suddenly arrived. "How are you, son? How are you feeling now?" his father quickly asked."I'm okay, Dad. I just... don't understand why I'm here," Josh replied to his father."You don't remember... what happened?" Josh's mother asked in confusion."I can't," Josh answered simply, which made my heart feel even heavier and
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 109: Forget
Yannie Ace Ruiz"Rhiana..."I quickly wiped away my tears and just as quickly let go of Josh's hands when I heard Ate Rica's voice.My heart immediately pounded with anxiety as I slowly straightened up and turned to face them. There, I met the gaze of Josh's mom. I struggled to swallow because it felt like the words I wanted to say were fighting to come out of my lips. I didn't know how to start apologizing to her for being here now.I knew I had promised her before that I would never show myself to her son again. I had promised her before that I would disappear from Josh's life, but... here I am now, crying in front of her son. It was as if, in an instant, all the promises I had made to her and my determination back then had suddenly crumbled. I wanted to kneel before her again and beg for her to let me be with Josh.I struggled to swallow again before starting to speak. "S-Sorry," I said weakly while trying to hold back my tears. "I just wanted to make sure Josh is okay." I looked d
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 108: Unconscious
Yannie Ace Ruiz"No! No, Yannie! No!" Josh cried repeatedly, holding me tightly in his arms."J-Josh..." I managed to say with difficulty. I forced myself to utter his name despite the intense pain caused by the bullet wound."Don't leave me, Yannie. Just hang in there, okay? You can do it, Yannie. Please, don't give up!" Josh kept crying to me."D*mn it! How did she get away from you? You idiots!" I heard the man who shot me yelling at his men."You bastard! I'll kill you!" Josh shouted angrily at the man."I'm the one who's going to kill you! Thank your girlfriend for taking the bullet that was meant for your head! If she hadn't done that, you would be dead by now, and she would be crying over you. But don't worry, you won't be around much longer because I'm going to finish you off too." The man pointed the gun at Josh again.I swallowed with difficulty, feeling my breathing become labored."D-Don't..." I whispered weakly, trying to protect him."Wow. That's touching. You love this
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 107: The Revenge
Yannie Ace RuizMy tears continue to flow incessantly while my chest keeps rising and falling with the intense anxiety I'm feeling right now. I hold my breath as if exhaling freely might bring something wrong upon me, even though I'm just sitting inside this car.I don't know how many minutes or hours have passed since these men took me. I don't know who they are or why they are doing this to me. Over and over again, I replay in my mind if I have wronged someone."We're here," said the man in front of his companions. He stopped the car, and they got out one by one.The man beside me opened the car door and stepped out, giving me a sharp look. "Get out," he commanded.I struggled to swallow and looked around at where we were. It was dark surroundings, but I could see tall grasses around us, with a large warehouse in front of us."Get out, I said," the man repeated his order."Who are you? Where are you taking me? What are you going to do to me?" I asked fearfully, one question after an
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 106: In Danger
Josh Rain MontezArriane stood quietly in front of me after seeing whoever arrived inside the coffee shop where we were."Aunt..." she said as the footsteps approached us.I lifted my emotionless gaze to the person who came closer and faced me. I could see the deep concern on her face as she looked at me, as if afraid of what I might do after learning the truth from Arriane. Her throat moved repeatedly as tears seemed about to fall."I'm sorry, Aunt," Arriane broke the silence. "I did everything, but... he's truly, madly, and crazy in love with that girl. With Yannie," she said to Mommy, then sadly walked out of the coffee shop, leaving us behind.I avoided looking at Mommy and lifelessly stood and turned away from her. I was about to step away, but she quickly stopped me and blocked my path. "Josh..." she said my name. I didn't respond and instead continued walking past her. But I stopped when she spoke again. "Aren't you going to ask me about what you've learned?"I smirked sarcasti
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 105: The Truth
Josh Rain Montez"Bro, that's enough. You've had way too much to drink," Ramil interrupted me as he reached for the alcohol I was drinking. But I quickly pulled it away from him."I'm okay, Bro. I'm not drunk yet.""But, Bro, you've been here drinking for a while now. And you've been doing nothing else but drinking for days. You might get into trouble.""Yeah, Bro. Who knows what might happen to you with all this," Byron added.I took another sip of my drink and replied to them, "Whatever happens to me, it's probably better than this.""Bro, that's enough. You're drunk," Ramil intervened again, successfully taking the alcohol away from me this time."What the heck? Why are you so persistent? Why are you meddling?" I snapped at him, getting annoyed as I stood up."Easy, Bro!" Byron said to me."You're already drunk, so stop drinking—""Damn it! So what if I'm already drunk? Why do you have to interfere? Can't you just leave me alone?!"Ramil took a deep breath and looked at me wearily
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 104: The Mother’s Love
Josh Rain Montez"Are you drunk again?" Mom started as soon as I walked into the house. But I ignored her and continued walking past her. "Seriously, Josh? Until when are you going to behave like this just because of that worthless girl?!" I stopped walking after she said those words. "She's gone, Josh. She left you, but you're still wallowing because of her!"I slowly faced Mom. "Have you been in love, Mom?" I asked gently, which seemed to stun her momentarily."What?""You know what, Mom? I've always wondered if you've ever been in love with Dad. Because every time I look at both of you, I don't see love between you."Her jaw clenched. "Stop talking nonsense, Josh. Don't drag me and your Dad into your drama.""I guess you've never been in love. That's why you're like this, maybe because you've never experienced loving someone, especially getting hurt." My vision started to blur as tears threatened to escape from me.Several days have passed since Yannie blatantly rejected me, but un
