"How often does Celestine come and stay here in the resthouse?" she asked after taking a sip on her hot coffee. The air is warm and it is a bit windy in the balcony that she has to repeatedly fix her hair by trying to keep it still on the other side of her shoulder which she miserably failed to do so.

She tucked some of her hair strand behind her ear as she look at the maid that she invited to join her in the balcony. She intentionally asked the oldest maid she saw to stay at her in the balcony in excuse that she doesn't want to be alone.

"Do you want an honest answer?" the maid asked weakly that made her raise an eyebrow.

"Why you asked me that? Obviously I want you to answer my question honestly."

The maid stepped forward and rest her arms on the railings then she closed her eyes for a moment, feeling the wind against her face. From where Sophia is she can fully see the wrinkles on the old lady's face yet it becomes invisible once her lips curved a smile. She got a beautiful sm

    "Sir," said his secretary who opened the door of his office not wide enough for him to fully see her but enough for him to recognize her. He put his eyeglasses down on his office table then he stopped what he was doing for a moment. "Yes? What is it? Come in if it is important," he said then he dropped his back on the swivel chair to relax his shoulders after hours of typing and flipping the pages of the documents he needs to sign. She fully opened the door and entered his office without leaving to the side of the door that is still slightly ajar. She professionally nodded her head to him before speaking. "Sir, there's a woman named Saoirse, I don't get to know her surname for she was desperate to get inside of your office without an appointment so instead of asking, I just called a security to stop her. She keeps insisting that you know her and even without an appointment you will let her inside of your office. I just want to confirm if that was true, Sir?" He cracked his ne

    The night sky was aglow with splendid city lights. The pale bow moon sparkled like a shimmering hook in the night sky. Vincent sighed heavily before he sat on his swivel chair and take a sip on his glass of whiskey. The clicking sound of the ice inside of his whiskey is the only thing that can be heard inside of his office. All the employees had already left and it was only him and the securities inside of the company building. It was peaceful and calming for him to be alone. He needed it. He needs to be on his own to figure out things himself without people telling him what to do. Between Sophia and Celestine, it has always been Celestine that is important to him but at the same time, he is afraid that he might had chosen the wrong one. Until now, he still couldn't make himself look at the evidences. The brown envelope remained closed. He can't face the possible truth because he loves her. He moved his glass on a circular motion for the ice inside to make a sound that he felt he n

    No one had the courage to speak except Celestine who could not hide the hatred in her eyes as she stare at the woman Vincent had married. She knew he had no right to be angry to Sophia because it wasn't her fault and she is a victim too but she can't help but feel it as she stare at Sophia longer. Her mind begins to create scenarios that even she doesn't know if it is true or not. In her mind she can imagine the promises that Vincent possibly promised to Sophia, the future that both of them planned to have, the good memories they shared, and the love they had for each other before. It's suffocating and slowly try to tear her heart into pieces. She looked away from Sophia. She couldn't make herself stare at her any longer. It is just too much. The similarity of their facial structure is undeniable and until now she still couldn't accept the fact that Sophia and her are half sisters. And she think that no matter what happen, she will never going to accept that. When she was abo

    Sophia saved her. When she wake up in the hospital the first thing that she think about was Vincent and she had forgotten to ask who was the person who saved her. Actually forgotten is not the right word but she didn't really think of it, or it even crossed her mind. She is too preoccupied with the fact that Vincent is not beside her the moment she open her eyes and that made her forget everything else. When Vincent left her she felt like her heart had come out of her chest and abandoned her aching soul. The moment he turned his back on her it was as if he is silently letting her know that he is choosing Sophia over her and it hurts more than seeing Sophia inside of his house. However, no matter how much she wanted to cry there's no tears left in her to shed. All that is left in her is sanity and it says she should fight for Vincent and not let Sophia take him away from her. She take a deep breath then she put some of her hair strands behind her ears using her index finger when

    "Who is this?" Sophia closed her eyes as she heard the voice of the man she never thought she will ever think of contacting. She take a deep breath. "Victor, i-it's me, Sophia," she finally said despite the fact that her lips are literally shaking as she say those words. Victor is a very cunning man and unfornately, even though she hates to admit it, he was the man who saved her and given her a second chance to live again. "How's everything going on with Vincent?" he casually asked that made her swallow her saliva. She was stupid to think that Victor wouldn't know about she had done. "E-Everything is fine," she softly replied. Lying and acting as if she know nothing of what he was talking about will just make everything worse than it already is so she didn't attempt to do that. "The next time that you plan something I hope you will let me know about it first because I wouldn't be this forgiving anymore," Victor said using a threatening voice then he paused for a moment before

    As she opened her eyes and see the empty unwrinkled bedsheet of the other side of the bed makes her remember everything that happened the night before that she was trying so hard to forget. She hugged the pillow and turned her back on Vincent's side of the bed. She closed her eyes for a moment. She really hope last night that she will wake up with Vincent in her side to apologize or to just simply making it up to her by staying in her room but he didn't. All of a sudden, she feels being played. She planned to go back to sleep again but she wasn't able to do that because just when she was about to fall asleep she heard a knock to the door. She opened her eyes and hastily get out of the bed. When she opened the door, there she saw the maid in her usual uniform. The maid gave her a friendly smile before she open her mouth to speak, "Miss, breakfast is ready." "O-Okay, I'll just prepare. I'll be downstairs in a minute, thank you," she answered with a smile on her lips. As soon a

    A pungent odor wafted through them as they entered inside of a familiar builing to Kingston. He could not move his body properly because of the amount of punches and kicks he received from Vincent's men before they dragged him into the car earlier. Kingston could not step on his feet because of a wound in his knee that is swelling. Vincent's men almost lifted him up just so he could properly walk with them to wherever they planned to lock him up. He didn't remember much of what had happened, all he knew was that he had lost his balance after he ate the food the girl had given him when he was sitting outside of the parking lot early this morning. After all of that, he could only remember was Vincent's men dragging him inside of a car and he didn't even do anything to defend himself because of the weakness he is feeling. Until now, he could barely walk and his arms feels numb. He repeatedly curse himself for eating what the girl had given him this morning. But who would have thought

    Kingston slowly opened his eyes when he felt someone opened his cell. He didn't move immediately until he recognized whoever had suddenly entered recklessly, and it was Vincent. He didn't thought that Vincent will come to see him this quick.

    "V-Vincent..." All she remembered was throwing the gun somewhere and she ran towards Vincent. His eyes are wide open as well as his mouth. He's not moving. She tried to wake him by touching his chest yet after minutes of sobbing and trying to save him, nothing happened. His chest is not moving, it was as if he is asleep but his eyes is open. He's not breathing anymore. "N-No, Vincent. Wake up, c-cmon... Wake up p-please," she whispered to his ear even though she knew to herself that no matter what she do, it's already too late. She hugged his body and she sobbed in his chest, hoping that it was just a bad dream even though she still can feel the intensityof the gun when she fired it. "Celestine, let's go. C'mon, you need to leave now. Any minute from now Vincent's men will come to check on what was happening here. We need to go now." Celestine looked at the woman who suddenly speak. It was Sophia.

    "Clean the cell, leave no trace of his blood there, burn the gun, his clothes, and his apartment," Vincent authoritively said as he was washing his hands on the sink. His men immediately nodded his head after hearing what his boss had said. They were having a good time talking while eating until they heard a gunshot coming inside of the cell. Everything happened so fast that the the only thing they know was thinking that their boss had planted a bullet in Kingston's head but it wasn't what they are expecting because when they go to see the cell, it was Kingston who is holding their boss' gun. "What the fuck are you still doing here? Didn't you hear what I asked you to do?!" Vincent shouted when he noticed that the associate is still standing next to him like an idiot. Vincent's shout was enough for the associate to get back to his senses and get out of the bathroom and do what his boss asked him to do. Vincent closed his eyes firmly and threw his head back while he is clenching

    "Let me go!" She had been screaming yet no one seem to hear her, they are ignoring her. She is inside of a van with five men inside, all of them are wearing masks and they are all silent. There is nothing that could be hear inside except for her screams that don't seem to bother the five men. She closed her eyes firmly and stopped trying to untie her wrists on her back for a moment. She has to remind herself that she had been in this position before, her getting kidnapped by the enemies is something that is not new for her and instead of feeling scared she should think of a way to escape from them, though it might be impossible to do that because what is the strength of a woman compared to five strong men surrounded her. "Good thing you finally get tired of screaming," the man driving the car said while he is chewing a gum. She opened her eyes. "If you think that Vincent will come to save me, you better think again. You got the wrong person. I am not Sophia, you should've taken h

    "Fuck," Kingston murmured when he tried to make a movement. His body is sore from all the punches that he had received. He doesn't know how long Vincent had been keeping him inside of the cell because he couldn't see any light from the outside. All he wanted was Vincent's men discovered a new hobby and it is to beat him up every fucking minute. He spit blood on the cold tile floor then he tried his best to move his body for him to comfortably lie on the floor. As he was trying his best to move, he is holding his breath firmly. He can endure the pain but his body needs a rest. He never felt so restless his entire life until Vincent kept him inside of the cell that makes him feel like he is visually impaired. "Fuck this," he continued cursing as he was trying his best to quicken his movement so the pain he might going to feel will be all at once yet his body is not cooperating. He can feel the tiredness of his body. Every inch of his being wants to rest yet in his mind, he keep tel

    Celestine stopped walking as soon as she figured out that Saoirse is no longer following her. She turned around to see what her manager was doing and she found her a bit far from where she is with a devilish smile. At first, she is hesitant to call her attention but then she remembered why somehow she wanted to have this conversation with her manager. "Hey! Everything's fine?" she asked loudly, making sure that despite the distance between them she will still be able to hear her. Saoirse who was startled by her voice immediately composed herself, remove the devilish smile on her face, and act as if she had done nothing wrong then she jogged towards Celestine's direction. "Sorry, I just had to reply to that important text message," she explained as soon as she reached Celestine's side. "Anyways, I know a place here where we can talk privately." What Saoirse just said made Celestine's eyebrow raise. She's not in her manager's side for months now unlike before that they are usually t

    "Good morning, Miss," the maid greeted as soon as she opened her eyes. Last night, she wasn't able to sleep. She doesn't know if it is about the temperature or is it about the idea that Vincent and her isn't fine. But between the two, she choose to believe that it is because of the room temperature. "W-What time is it already?" she asked as she was helping herself to sit on the bed. The windows in her room is open yet the sunlight is not hurting her skin, giving her an idea that she woke up early today. She looked at the maid confusedly. Maids are not allowed to enter the room, not just her room but in any room without asking for permission that she is confused for why the maid is inside of her room the moment she open her eyes. Even though she wants to point out about the maid tresspassing inside of her room she just decided to shrug the idea off. She wanted to start her morning in a good mood since she slept with a heavy heart last night so instead of scolding the maid she just p

    "H-Here's your coffee." She slightly tilted the tray that she was holding. Vincent lick his lower lip and run his fingertips to his scalp. He doesn't have an idea of how he supposed to deal with her after knowing almost everything that she had done. He couldn't believe everything that is on the papers. He couldn't believe everything that Kingston said. Everything is an act of betrayal. Everything isn't true. Celestine planned it, she tried to be in control of his life and he never did question her, it also somehow his fault yet it wouldn't justify the fact that she is the mastermind. She did what she did and he wouldn't let her fall for her stupid game anymore. She might had already plan how everything is going to end for him but he will change it. He will change the ending and it is him who will have the loudest laugh in the finish line that she had prepared for him. "I didn't ask you to bring that to me." He turned his back on her then he pulled his sleeves up. She, on the othe

    Celestine hit her shoulder when she felt a mosquito pinching bite. Its blood was on her palm. It's dead. She grimaced, disgusted by the blood that is on her palm. She looked away from her it and wipe it on the hem of her t-shirt. The blood in her palm is something that doesn't freak her out anymore like she used to. Seeing blood anywhere becomes a normal scenario for her ever since she met Vincent. She glance in her palm and even though the blood wasn't there anymore, she can still see it; her hands that is covered by blood. She closed her eyes firmly to keep herself calm but instead of avoiding the idea that her mind had made up for her, she smell the blood. She can smell it. Blood that almost smells like hers, the scent that she's been trying to get out of her system. That smell, it was so familiar. A shovel suddenly entered her mind. The dried red stain in the shovel is what brings her back to the past that she's been trying to get off of her mind but couldn't. "Miss, are

    "Did you already sent the letter?" The man slightly nodded his head. "Yes, Sir." "Are you sure that she will receive the letter?" "Certainly, Sir," he answered with great confidence. "Good. Go back to your work now." He rest his back on the backrest of his couch. The letter successfully sent to Celestine, he just hope that the letter reach her before Vincent get to read them. Just when he thought he can finally have his fifteen minutes break, his phone suddenly rang. He pushed himself to reach for the phone on the other side of his table. He picked it up and put the phone against his ear. "Who is this?" he asked. "How are you, Bonifacio?" said the man on the other line with a devilish smirk lingered on his lips. That voice, he knows that voice very well, he know it so well that he immediately recognized the person calling. "Venedict," he said. Venedict chuckled. "Guess you still remember me." He clenched his jaw tightly. They haven't heard anything from Venedict sinc
