### Eumerriah's Point of View

"Kateee!" yelled the annoying man who always seems to disrupt my life. He was calling for Kate, who I was talking to at the moment. When he got close, he pulled Kate behind him. "Don’t hang out with her. You might pick up her bad habits."

"Are you two having a lover's quarrel?" Kate asked, grinning.

I couldn’t take his insults any longer. I had only said something to him once, but he had insulted me twice already. The nerve! I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and was about to leave when I remembered to say goodbye to Kate. "Nice to know you, Kate. Let’s bond another time when this pest isn't around." I waved at her and continued walking. I didn’t know where I was going, but I thought I should check if Manager Kim had called. I had forgotten that I had somewhere to be.

"See you again, Ate Yumi!" Kate called out.

I didn’t look back and just walked towards the hut or house or whatever you call it.

"This is so boring," I commented as I climbed up. I immediately looked for my phone. I was grateful there was a signal here; otherwise, I might have killed that man.

I was still receiving a lot of notifications. People were still talking about what happened last night. I hadn’t received any calls from the two people close to me, Shaira and Jerome. Because of this, I felt like what Gabrielle said was true. I didn’t believe it because Shaira had always been true to me. I knew she considered me a friend, but maybe Gabrielle was right—I didn’t really know the people around me. I just wanted to see what I believed in.

I jumped when I heard my phone ring, snapping me back to reality. I peeked to see who was calling; I wasn’t mistaken, it was Manager Kim.

"Yumi! Where are you? We’ve been looking for you since last night. We were so worried. Good thing you finally answered," Manager Kim said frantically. I furrowed my brows as I listened to what he was saying. I had no idea what he was doing, but I thought hard, letting him speak while I listened to his background noise and studied his words. "Shaira is here. She’s worried too; she said she can’t contact you either. How are you? Have you seen the video?" Bingo!

I instructed Manager Kim that no one should know we were talking. He shouldn’t tell anyone where I was, although he really didn’t know my location. "Yumi! I didn’t see you at the party last night; where were you? Do you know about the video circulating? Is it true? How are you? Do you have a place to stay? Do you want me to pick you up and help you hide?" I laughed. He really was an actor.

I took a deep breath before answering. If he could pretend not to know, I could show him I was just as good at this game he started. "Shaira, bestie, I’m fine here. I’ll call you if I need your help. For now, I just want to be alone," I said, pretending to be teary-eyed. I also pretended to lose signal here, so I ended the call.

Until I was sure she had something to do with what happened to me, I couldn’t confront her. I had no solid evidence she did it. "You’re such a great actor," I muttered, startled by a sudden voice.

"Why didn’t you knock before coming in?" I asked.

"Do I have to?" he asked, pointing to the curtain instead of a door. I ignored him as I received a text message. Seeing it was from Manager Kim, I quickly opened it.

"Yumi, wear clothes that won’t make you recognizable. Don’t wear sunglasses or a cap that looks expensive. Wear normal clothes before going to this clinic. It’s been almost two months, so the results might not be accurate, but we still need to try."

I pondered his words. "I know something," Gabrielle suddenly interrupted from behind me. He was peeking over my shoulder, so when I turned to look at him, our lips almost touched, just half an inch away.

I saw him glance at my lips while I did the same. One more move and he could kiss me.

"Ate Yumiii!"

I was startled, causing me to bump into him, and we both fell to the floor. He was on top of me while I was underneath. His hand was, uh...

"Aaaaah! Why are you touching my boobs?" I pushed him away. I didn’t know how his hand ended up on my chest. "Huh? Kuya Gabrielle? Did you harass Ate Yumi? You’re disgusting!" Kate screamed, hiding me behind her while I hugged myself.

"It’s not like that. I fell on her and was looking for something to hold onto but—hays! It was an accident, okay! I wouldn’t touch her boobs. She’s not even my type," Gabrielle defended himself.

"You’re so rude!" I snapped.

"I’m going to tell Grandma. You’re a pervert. And then you say she’s not your type! When did you become so disrespectful, Kuya Gabrielle?" Kate shouted at her brother while holding me as we left the room.

"Do you think it suits me?" she asked. I widened my eyes at her, not understanding what she meant. "Do you think I could be a sister? Could I be an aunt? Do I look mature?" She raised her eyebrows, and her eyes seemed to sparkle.

"Huh? Hahaha, yes, you look mature," I replied shyly.

"Because he always says I’m childish. He always scolds me because he says he’s old," she complained.

She’s so cute! Gabrielle is right; she’s like a child. Hahahahahaha

    Eumerriah's Point of View"Ateeee," Kate called out to me, trying to be cute."Ateee, you're coming back, right?" she kept asking repeatedly."Yes, she is, Kate. She's coming back because I'm not leaving her there alone. Now, go on, Grandma might be looking for you," Gabrielle shooed Kate away.Kate had been trying to act cute, thinking I wouldn’t come back. Gabrielle had grabbed some of Kate’s clothes for me to wear, even though they were a bit small. I was now wearing an unbranded long sleeve shirt, far from the fabrics I used to wear. I also had on loose but short jogging pants. I was slightly taller than Kate, but Gabrielle was still taller than me.I was now sitting in the passenger seat while Gabrielle adjusted his seatbelt. "Can I ask you something?" I suddenly got curious about why Gabrielle was helping me. I didn’t know him well, and he didn’t know me either."You're already asking," he replied sarcastically. I didn’t know when I’d have a proper conversation with him. He alw

    Eumerriahäs Point of ViewPositiive!!Sure!I am pregnant.After our check-up for a drug test and my pregnancy test came back positive, we immediately sought a second opinion. Gabrielle and Manager Kim also found a trustworthy OB-GYN. Given my current condition, it's difficult for the public to know. Even though my reputation is already damaged, that's not a valid reason for me to ruin the name of someone I once loved. I'm sure he would be implicated if this went public."Hi, friend! How are you doing here? Is the management of this small clinic going well?" Manager Kim greeted when he arrived at the clinic of someone he knew."This is all I could establish after my fame faded!" she jokingly replied."Really? Anyway, you know her already, Eumerriah-""Yes, the best Eumerriah Ferrer. You know, I am such a fan of yours. If I were as talented as you were in your youth, I might have been linked to various men. You're also kind; you were only linked to one man. I even thought your relation

    **Eumerriah's Point of View**I woke up with a headache. It felt like I had been sleeping for a very long time. I was about to get up when I realized I wasn’t in my own room. I was in a room with white surroundings and some apparatuses. I tried to lift my hand but felt it being held by someone, so I looked over. I felt a surge of joy when I saw his face.“J-Jerome?” I whispered, touching his face with my left hand, even though I could barely reach. Despite everything I had learned, my feelings for him wouldn’t change that easily.I felt him move, so I pretended to be asleep. I heard the chair move, indicating he had stood up, and his grip on my hand loosened. He yawned before I heard water being poured into a glass, so I couldn’t help but open my eyes and sit up. “I’m thirsty too,” I said.“Oh? It’s good that you’re awake now. How are you feeling?” I saw Gabrielle’s face. My head spun as I looked around for Jerome. Where was Jerome? He was with me just a moment ago.“Where’s Jerome?”

    **Eumerriah's Point of View**"Yumii!!" Gabrielle shouted as he approached me. I pretended to be weak to keep him from leaving. I didn't know why I did it, but I thought he might hurt Jerome if I let him out of the room."What's wrong? Are you dizzy? How are you feeling?" he asked rapidly, helping me sit on the sofa."Oh, water! I don't know who told them you were here. I think they had me followed. I can't understand what's going through their heads to do that. I'm more convinced they've been deceiving you for a long time. Did you see how concerned he was for Shaira earlier? Ugh, I hope they never have kids for what they've done!" I just watched while drinking water Manager Kim handed me. I wanted to join his rant, but I felt like I had no energy left."How are you? Are you okay now?" Gabrielle asked."Hey! Guy! Is what that woman said true? You planned all this because you've liked Yumi for a long time, huh? Let's clear this up!" Manager Kim asked, hands on his hips.Gabrielle took

    Eumerriah’s Point of ViewI spent three days in the hospital. They said there was no problem with the baby in my womb. Spotting is normal for pregnant women, especially in the first three to four months, especially if they are stressed.In those three days, none of my parents visited me. I know they have disowned me, but I didn’t expect them to completely ignore me. Jerome and Shaira haven’t returned since the first day. There were no articles about my stay in the hospital. I’m still a hot topic among people, especially the media, as many are still calling my manager for a statement. I’ve read many comments suggesting that this is just a marketing strategy to get people talking about me and Jerome. I wish that were the case so that I wouldn’t be struggling right now.I know I have enough savings to raise the child in my womb, but I’m not ready for this. I still need guidance from my own mother, but she’s no longer here; she was taken by the Lord long ago. My other mom, who has been wi

    R|18 Shaira’s Point of View“What do they know?” I snapped at Jerome. He had accompanied me home.“I don’t know. I didn’t understand him either earlier. I just went there because Gabrielle texted me,” he answered innocently. I was surprised why his brother texted him. “And why did he text you? Was this planned by both of you?” I couldn’t help but think about it, especially knowing Jerome's manipulative tendencies. I know he always wants to be ahead of everyone else.“No way! I wouldn’t side with my rival!” he defended. I know he hasn’t been on good terms with Gabrielle for a long time, even since they were kids.“Don’t think like that. You’re too stressed. Gabrielle texted me because he said you can’t see Yumi! He didn’t say why, but I’m sure they know something. That’s why I went immediately because I didn’t want anything to happen to our baby because of her; I might end up killing her,” Jerome added. I was touched by what he said. I felt like he truly loved us and our baby.“You sa

    **Gabrielle's Point of View**"What do you mean you don't know anything- Kuya, stop it! Okay, I won't say anything." I was covering Kate's mouth because she wouldn't stop gossiping about what she knew. I looked at Yumi, who was just laughing. Thankfully, she didn't understand what this girl was trying to say."What do you want to eat? Yumi, do you want anything?" I asked both of them. I needed to bribe Kate with food so she wouldn't spill any more secrets. "There's a place with my favorite fries, but I want them plain!" Kate replied. Wow! She doesn't even really like those; she's just copying. "Really, plain fries are your favorite too? Really?" Eumerriah asked excitedly. Kate happily nodded, even acting cute."And you, Yumi, what do you want?" I asked impatiently. Whenever Kate is with Yumi, they act like they've known each other forever. I always feel out of place. "Tsk! Grumpy!" Kate commented."Kate and I will share some crisscross cut fries." Of course, they had to specify the cu

    **Gabrielle’s Point of View**"Two orders to go!" I ordered what Kate and Yumi wanted. In my long reverie, I almost missed my turn."Flavor, ma'am?" the cashier asked me. "Plain only, thank you." I didn't mention the crisscross cuts because I had already pointed them out on the menu earlier.After a few moments, my order was handed to me. I quickly took it, eager to return, worried about what those two might be discussing. They never stop gossiping, especially if Yumi gets to talk to Mamala. One day wouldn't be enough for all the things they think of to talk about.Since we left the province, Kate has been calling and texting me constantly to bring Yumi back immediately. But something came up, and I couldn't take her home right away. This girl started to panic. She kept pestering me about Yumi, so I asked Mamala's permission to send her to the hospital here.I knew Yumi needed someone to talk to so she wouldn't overthink what she discovered. At first, she didn't believe what I told he

    Eumerriah's Point of ViewFor so long, Gabrielle and I had been at odds. I couldn't understand why he needed to distance himself from us. All the truths had come out—their marriage to Kristine and how his life had unfolded with Paul. He regretted his choices, and even Paul seemed to notice his mistakes."You really don’t understand me," Gabrielle said, frustration lacing his voice."Then explain it to me!" I shot back, unable to hold back any longer."Okay, let me ask you this. Why did you choose to distance yourself and hide, huh? Fifteen years! Fifteen years I haven't seen or been with my child, and then I find out he's legally Shaira’s child! How do you explain that to me, huh?" he questioned, filled with anger and disappointment."Listen to me!" I said, barely able to contain the pain in my voice. "Shaira lost her child because of your marriage! What do you think I should do? Of course, I thought about our child's safety. If I hadn’t done that, we might not have a child anymore. S

    Eumerriah's Point of View“Where is he?” I asked Kate, my curiosity evident.“If you want to know, follow me,” she replied, getting into her car. I nodded, but instead of driving my own car, I hurried into the passenger seat of hers.She furrowed her brow and gave me a questioning look. “Why are you too lazy to drive?” she asked, a hint of irritation in her voice.“I just want to ride in the car of the girl who used to really like me,” I said, trying to make a joke to lighten the tension.“Tsk! If it weren’t for Kuya Gabrielle, I wouldn’t like you,” she retorted, but a playful smile was on her lips.“What do you mean?” I asked, a bit confused, but I knew she was hiding something.“Secret,” she replied, laughing as she drove.I looked out the window, but I couldn’t help smiling. I never thought that the cheerful little girl who used to cling to me, who liked me so much, would turn into a woman who was now even more assertive in front of me.Behind her teasing and boldness, I was please

    "Eumerriah!" Kate called out to me, her voice filled with concern.I turned to face her and saw the serious expression on her face."Do you still think about him?" she asked, her voice full of worry. "Do you ever wonder how he’s doing?"I stood silently, trying to block out the people around us. A heaviness settled over me. I thought of Gabrielle. Despite everything that happened, he still held a place in my heart, but I didn’t know how to face him now."What are you trying to say?" I asked, struggling to hide my emotions."I just wanted you to know," Kate began, her voice serious, "that even back then, he struggled with the thought of losing you like that. And now that you’ve suddenly come back, he feels like he failed you, like he didn’t even try to look for you."As I absorbed her words, it felt like a sharp pain erupted in my chest. I could feel Gabrielle’s anguish over the years I was gone, but I couldn’t ignore how he had avoided me and chosen someone else during those times.We

    "Another movie you slay!" Shaira greeted, hugging me tightly."My mom is really amazing," Justine complimented. He was now dressed like a young man, his hair neatly styled, and his suit covering his whole body. He looked at me with great admiration, as if he had learned all these things from me."You always look pretty, Mommy," said Dustine, who, despite being young, had simple words that could warm my heart. He smiled at me, his eyes full of happiness and love."Beautiful and endlessly talented," Jayson praised, standing beside me, his eyes full of respect.We had just finished the premiere night of one of our most successful movies with Jerome. The story was filled with emotion, and I never imagined it would turn out like this. After weeks of hard work and exhaustion, this moment brought joy and success to us.We were in the middle of guests, media, and fans who were all celebrating our achievement. Cameras kept flashing, capturing our photos, but my eyes wandered to the loved ones

    Eumerriah's Point of ViewFor six months, everything was in order. No fights, no drama, even though I worked closely with Jerome more often now."Is it still him?" Jerome asked."What’s it to you?" I replied, my tone sharp.It was as if he didn’t care about what happened in the past, like he wasn’t the man I once went crazy for."If you had just kept being crazy about me, maybe I could have learned to love you," I teased."Whatever you say," he responded, seemingly indifferent."You’ve become so tough now, like you weren’t once crazy over me," I pressed."It’s been 17 years, and still? Haven’t you moved on? You couldn’t even fight for my best friend, the first man you loved. So why would I expect you to fight for me, when you just used me?" His words stung."It wasn’t my fault my family couldn’t accept him.""It’s your fault you led him on and didn’t truly love him.""And what do you know about real love?""Well, what about you? What do you know? We’re not kids anymore. If you think y

    Eumerriah's Point of ViewThree months have passed since Gabrielle’s sudden disappearance, and no one has heard any news from him. Everyone is worried—even Kristine and Kimberly are confused about what’s happening. I don’t know how to tell them that even I have no idea where he is or when he’ll return.Despite everything, Shaira and I have slowly resumed our daily lives. I continue to work for our family, while Shaira stays home to handle the household chores and take care of Justine. The days have flowed smoothly, but the weight of unanswered questions remains ever-present."Has there still been no word from Gabrielle?" Shaira asked as she arranged Dustine's toys on the floor.I shook my head, feeling the sadness settle in my chest. "Even Kristine has been asking me. She said things are chaotic at their company because of his sudden disappearance. Some employees have also asked me if I know anything, but I have nothing to tell them."Shaira paused and sat down beside me. "Anyone woul

    Eumerriah's Point of ViewJustine has recovered from his illness, and despite everything that has happened, I am deeply grateful to Gabrielle. His support for us is something I will never forget. However, after our meeting and discovering that his close friend Paul is Kimberly’s real father, it was as if a heavy burden was lifted from him, but I still cannot fully explain what he's truly feeling.It's been two weeks since I learned the truth, but I haven't heard from Gabrielle since. He’s disappeared, and no matter what I do, I can’t find him. His absence feels like a new torment added to my trials.Amid all this, Jayson has been visiting our house more often. Justine refuses to be bathed by anyone else, so we chose not to hire a personal nurse. Sometimes, I see Jayson hiding his true emotions, trying to act like everything is normal, but I know it’s not easy for him.Because of what happened, I had to change my plans. I no longer accepted new jobs and instead started working from hom

    Gabrielle's Point of ViewI don’t know how I managed to leave everything behind. Sometimes, it feels like all of this is just a dream—the life I left, the family I destroyed. But this is the reality I created for myself, and with each passing day, it becomes clearer how big a mistake I made.Kristine, the woman I spent so many years with, the mother of my daughter, Kimberly. We built a family together, a family I once dreamed would be happy and whole until the end. But now, that’s gone. And it's my fault.It all started when Eumerriah came back into my life. I never expected to see her again, never thought I’d feel the emotions I had long buried. I thought everything between us was over. I thought I could forget her and move on with my life with Kristine and Kimberly. But when I saw Eumerriah, all those feelings suddenly came rushing back—feelings I never thought would resurface.That’s when my confusion began. I no longer knew what was real or what should be. I started looking for wa

    Serenity's Point of ViewI never expected Gabrielle to come back into my life. It’s been a long time since we last saw each other, and so much has happened between us. Yet now, it seems he’s slowly finding ways to reenter my life, even though we don’t share the same roof.It all started with small things. Sometimes, I’d suddenly receive a message from him. They were simple questions like, "How is Justine?" or "Don’t work too hard; you need rest, too." These messages were straightforward, but I couldn’t help but feel a strange warmth in my chest whenever I read them. I never expected to get such messages from Gabrielle, especially since we haven’t been together for a long time.Justine often asks about Gabrielle as well. I know the child struggles to understand our situation, so I just tell him, "He cares about you." But every time I say that, I feel a pang in my heart. Why does Gabrielle still care? What’s the reason?Whenever Gabrielle visits to see Justine, he always brings the chil
