Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 79: Last Wish
Josh Rain MontezI began eating quietly, and fortunately, Arriane finally fell silent beside me. But she must have noticed that I wasn't touching the beef caldereta she had placed on my plate."Don't you want any? It's delicious. Isn't it one of your favorite dishes?" she softly asked me."Maybe I'll eat that next time, when you're not sitting beside me," I coldly replied, still not looking at her."Josh, I know you're still mad at me. But please—""Can you just please shut up and eat?" I quickly cut her off."It seems like you two are having a serious conversation," grandma remarked, smiling at both of us. "How long have you been together?"Everyone fell silent at grandma's question to me and Arriane. Of course, Arriane's parents were aware of what happened between us. They knew that Arriane and I had broken up a long time ago because I had respectfully informed them when I ended things with their daughter. Grandma, on the other hand, had no idea, as this was the first time she
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 80: Fragile
Yannie Ace Ruiz"Time flies so fast, right? It's already summer, and we'll be in our 3rd year next semester!""Yeah, it feels like we just enrolled for the 2nd semester. Now, we're already in our 3rd year!""So, what are your plans for this vacation? Are you going home to your provinces?""Hmm. I might not go home yet. I might look for a summer job first. How about you guys?""Oh, I like that idea!""Count me in too. I heard there's a fast-food restaurant that's hiring part-time students this summer!""Nice! Where is it? Let's apply. What do you think, Yannie?""Yannie?""Hey, Yannie!" I was startled when Veron shook me gently."H-Huh?""Are you okay? Why do you seem to be lost in thought?" Ivory pointed out."Huh? Uhm... y-yes, I'm okay.""Are you sure? You seem not okay. We've been chatting here for a while, but you've been quiet the whole time," Jenny said."What's wrong, Yannie? Tell us about it," Veron urged.I let out a deep sigh followed by biting my lower lip. I
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 81: Jealous
Josh Rain Montez"You're always coming home late, aren't you?" I stopped walking when I heard my mom's voice.I turned to face her slowly and answered calmly, "Even though I come home late, I'm not doing anything wrong."She just looked at me, seemingly deep in thought."I'll go rest now," I said politely, turning away. But I stopped again when she spoke once more."We will have a party next week." I looked back at her. "It's your birthday party, so get ready.""I don't need a birthday party, Mom. I'm fine with just a simple celebration," I replied."We will have your birthday party next week, and that is final," she insisted, making me sigh. "Besides, our business partners with your Dad will be there. So, it’s a big party.""It's up to you," I finally gave in and turned away from her again. I started to walk away when she spoke once more."Invite her." I quickly looked back at her. She smiled at me. "That girl. Invite her here. It’s your birthday party, so it’s only natural t
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 82: The Confrontation
Yannie Ace RuizI carefully looked at a beautiful sky blue dress in front of me and the matching white sandals. Just by looking at them, it was obvious that they were expensive, almost as if they didn't suit someone like me.A few moments later, my phone rang with an incoming call. Josh's name appeared on the screen, so I quickly answered it."Hello?""Hello, my love! Have you seen it? Do you like it?" he greeted me cheerfully with a series of questions."Of course, I like it. But, Josh, you didn't have to buy me such an expensive dress—""Why not?" he interrupted. "I like that dress and the moment I saw it, you were the first person that came to my mind. I'm pretty sure it will suit you. It's like it was made just for you," he replied sweetly.I took a deep breath. "You're something else.""Just wear it tomorrow, okay? Please?""Okay. I'll wear it. How could I refuse the birthday boy?""Thank you, my love!" he said happily."I'm the one who should be thanking you," I replie
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 83: Surprise Announcement
Yannie Ace RuizIt felt like something was stuck in my throat at that moment, preventing any words from escaping my lips. A heavy feeling gradually settled in my chest. I hadn't expected Josh's ex to be this beautiful and elegant. Above all, I hadn't expected to see her here tonight.“Arriane, just go back to your place. Don't stay here,” Byron said, stepping closer to keep Arriane away from me.“Can you guys just chill?” Arriane said with a laugh to Ramil and Byron. “I’m not here to cause any trouble. I’m just here to...” She turned to me. “To meet the lucky girl in Josh’s life now,” she added with a smirk.“But I don’t think you have the right to know her. Like, who do you think you are?” We all turned when Ate Rica suddenly joined the conversation.“S-Sissy...” Arriane stuttered. Earlier, she seemed full of confidence, but now, all of that seemed to vanish with Ate Rica’s presence.“Sissy? Really? Why? Are you my sister?” Ate Rica asked sharply.Arriane’s throat moved as if s
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 84: Get Away
Yannie Ace RuizAfter Josh faced his guests, he started to walk away from that place while holding my hand.We heard his Mom calling him several times, but Josh didn't bother to pay attention. Instead, he continued walking as if he were deaf, while still pulling me along.Josh quickly opened the door of his car when we arrived there, and he carefully helped me get inside. After that, he swiftly moved to the other side to get in himself, then he started the car.Silence enveloped us as we headed somewhere. I was too surprised by the events, and until now, my mind was still processing everything.Earlier, Josh's Mom announced in front of many people that they would marry Josh to Arriane, Josh's ex. But then Josh kissed me in front of everyone and boldly declared that I was the one he loved. It deeply touched my heart. I couldn't tell if all of this was real because it felt like I was in a dream.I glanced at Josh, who was now driving seriously. It seemed like he was deeply lost in
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 85: Banned
Josh Rain Montez"What do you mean? What are you saying that I'm not allowed here?" I angrily asked the guard who blocked my way. I was currently at the lobby of my condo building, and as I was about to enter, two guards suddenly blocked me."Sorry, Sir. We're just following orders," one of the guards replied to me."Orders? From whom?" I furrowed my brows, and Mommy quickly came to mind."We were instructed not to allow anyone to enter your unit. They said even you yourself cannot be let in. So sorry, Sir."I let out a deep sigh. I knew it. It was Mommy behind this. She's the only one who could do this to me.After our argument earlier, I came straight to my condo here in Intramuros to change clothes. I didn't expect that she would kick me out even here in the condo.Moments later, my phone suddenly rang due to an incoming call. It's my Mom. I glanced at the guards who blocked me again. Perhaps one of them reported to Mommy that I'm here now.Finally, I answered her call."Ju
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 86: Found Out
Yannie Ace RuizI quickly grabbed my phone when it vibrated with a message from Josh.Josh Rain: I'll see you later. Take care. I love you!A sweet smile formed on my lips as I typed a reply to him.Me: I love you too. Take care as well."That smile is so sweet," Ivory commented as she and Jenny approached me."It seems like you're meeting Josh quite often. He picks you up and drops you off at home from your part-time job every day," Jenny remarked.Three days had passed, and Josh remained consistent in picking me up from my part-time job and escorting me home. Sometimes, he even swung by to have lunch together. It seemed like he had nothing else to do but to be with me.Whenever I suggested that he take a break and not come to see me for a day just to rest, it always led to an argument. He insisted on seeing me and asked why I was stopping him from doing something he wanted to do for me. Whenever I asked about his parents, he would change the topic. He would just say they're o

"Oh my gosh! This is it, girls! Finally!" Ivory exclaimed happily as she approached us."Yes, finally! Can you believe it? We all made it here," Jenny added."I'm so proud of us, girls! Finally, this is it! Congratulations to all of us!" Veron chimed in joyfully.I smiled sweetly at my friends. "Congrats to us. I'm so happy and proud of all of us," I said as we gathered for a group hug.Two fast-paced years have passed, and finally, one of the most awaited days has arrived. The day when we would march together to mark the end of our studies. Yes, today is our graduation day, and my heart is bursting with overwhelming joy. All the exhaustion, sleepless nights, hardships, and sacrifices are finally paying off.I still remember the part-time jobs my friends and I took on just to support ourselves and our families. And now, the day we've all been waiting for has finally come.In a few moments, the line where we stood started moving, as they began letting us in one by one into the venue."
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
