As the party began, Roswell had more people to talk to.

"I'll just talk to some ambassadors. Is it okay if I leave you alone here?" Roswell asked me.

I quickly nodded to him before speaking.

"Yeah, sure! Don't worry about me here. I'll just walk around here," I answered, then shrugged my shoulders.

He nodded and immediately joined his acquaintances. I don't know what they're going to talk about, but I know it's about work.

I walked there first, and some people talked to me. When I got out of the pool area, where there were many people, I stayed at a high table while drinking wine.

Some women talking at the other table didn't escape my hearing, especially when I heard Roswell's name.

"He's so awesome and sweet! His secretary is very lucky because she's the one who often hangs out with Mr. Roswell. I'm sure she's also attracted to him," a woman said.

I raised an eyebrow because I correctly suspected that they were talking about Roswell.

"Of course she is! Duh? Who wouldn't like such a h

    A few months passed until I was able to completely adjust to my new job. My work became easy for me and not so difficult. I no longer affect those around me, especially Roxy.Agatha has also started studying, and I have more time with her even though I am often busy with work. Roswell, on the other hand, became more busy with his work, but our bond never disappeared.I also met Roswell's other friends and got to know Damian better. We talk better now, and he doesn't annoy me as often, so I'm grateful that we became friends.Time has passed so fast that even now I still can't believe that Eunice and Phil are married.Since I lied to Anthony, he has not bothered me, and he has never appeared to me again.I was busy doing what I was doing at my table when a woman came and stopped in front of me. She's wearing a black and white Varucci-style dress while hanging a leather bag on her arm. She has make-up, and you can see the amount of jewelry on her body, so I know she is not familiar with

    I did what Roswell said, and I didn't stop trying to convince Vera that she was too determined to continue working. She said that she prefers to keep her mind busy with her work, so I don't know what I should do to convince her."If that's what she wants, then why don't we just let her?" I asked Roswell.Roswell nodded at me and sighed."Alright. I think she can handle herself more. Vera is smart and she knows what she's doing, but I can't help but worry for her," said Roswell.I also nodded because I understood him. Even I am still worried about Vera, even though she often shows me that she's fine and doesn't care what happened."Don't worry. I'll always check on her. I'll go to her office today to bring her snacks," I said to Roswell.He smiled and came to me to hug me. I laughed because I didn't expect that."Kali." He called me while hugging me.I frowned because I could feel the seriousness in his voice."Why?" I asked him.He left my embrace and held both of my hands. He bent do

    The day just went by so fast because another week has passed since Roswell and I got engaged. To this day, I still can't believe it, and the joy in my heart is still intact."I'll be home after three days. I will miss you and Agatha," Roswell told me.I was suddenly sad when I found out that he was going to Taiwan for a business trip. He was there for three days; that's why I'm sure we'll miss each other, especially since we got used to always being together.I'm not even worried about being left alone because I'm with Vera, and I'm not worried that their mother will come to visit us."We'll wait for you. Don't worry about us here as long as we're with Vera," I answered him.I have a lot of confidence that Vera will not leave us.When Roswell left that day, I went into the office to do other work that I hadn't finished yesterday. I also have too much to do while Roswell is away due to spending the last few days with Agatha, so I have to make up for it now."Kali! Are you coming with u

    I felt bad for Damian because it looked like he wasn't done teasing me. When he saw my reaction, he immediately shook his head and looked away."I'm not telling this to tease you, Kali. I mean it," he said again."Stop it, Damian. I'm not joking with you. Do you think Roswell will be happy if I tell him this?" I asked him, annoyed, then I tormented him again."Of course, you won't tell Roswell because you know he'll be mad at me," he answered. I raised an eyebrow. I thought that Damian would never tease me again, but now he's starting again."You're not sure about it, Damian. I can tell this to Roswell if you don't stop teasing me," I answered him.I can feel the seriousness in his voice, but I don't want to believe it. I don't want to believe that he likes me, and I'm afraid that someone will hear what he's saying because maybe that's what they will think of the two of us, especially since we will tell everyone about my relationship with Roswell."I am ready if you tell Roswell.

    I was nervous when I approached the strange door. At first, you wouldn't notice it because it was covered by a thick curtain, so I wondered why it had to be covered.I opened the curtain, and I hesitated if I should open it because there might be important things there that they need to hide in Roswell. This is his property, and I don't want to cross the line to have access to his privacy, but something is pushing me to go in there.I looked up at the big door, then I looked at its door knob. I took a deep breath to gain courage and opened it completely. I thought it was locked, but I almost breathed a sigh of relief when I finally turned it, and it opened.I didn't see anything right away because it was dark inside, so I even used my flashlight to serve as my light. I looked for the light switch and saw that it was on the side near the door, so I immediately turned it on.My eyes narrowed for a moment because of the sudden light inside, and my jaw almost dropped when I saw what the r

    The picture frame I was holding almost fell, and I immediately ran out of the room. I felt Damian following me and calling me one after another."Kali!"I quickly went down the stairs with tears streaming down my face because I was thinking about what happened to Vera and Agatha. They are in the hospital, and I don't have a good feeling, so I want to get out of there."Kali, wait!" Damian called me.When I got out of the house, I almost gasped. I faced Damian, and I could see the worry on his face."I-I need to go to the hospital. Vera and Agatha had an accident!" I said to him, confused.I saw the look in his eyes. That's why I threw the key to Roswell's rest house to him so that he could close it, but instead of doing that, he immediately came to me."Kali, wait. Wait for me here. I will drive to the hospital. I can't let you drive now," he said to me and immediately grabbed the car keys from me.My eyes widened because he ran to the door of the house to close it. I knew he only did

    I woke up and realized I was in a hospital bed. I don't know how many hours I've been unconscious since I passed out earlier. When I remembered Agatha, I immediately got up from my bed. I still feel the weakness of my body, but I forced myself."Kali."Damian immediately approached me, and I didn't expect him to be there with me. I was in the emergency room and immediately looked for Eunice. Damian is not the one I want to be with; that's why I can't help but be annoyed."You have to rest first. That's what the doctor ordered," he told me.I just looked at him badly and tried to get up. He immediately helped me get out of bed."I need to check Agatha. I need to see her," I told him."Come on, Kali. Rest first," he said to stop me again.I was so annoyed that I violently removed the hand that was holding me."Can't you see it? I don't need rest! I'm okay, Damian. So let me go!" I said angrily to him, then walked out of the emergency room.I started walking towards the ICU, where Agatha

    I hugged Agatha while crying. I didn't believe she was dead, so I didn't leave her side. We were all crying, and I felt like my heart was being stabbed repeatedly while I closed my eyes.Agatha's body is hard, and we all know she is gone, but I still can't accept it. I just opened my eyes when suddenly someone grabbed my arm and quickly took me away from Agatha. I could see Anthony's red eyes while looking at me, and I could feel his grip on my arm."THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" he shouted at me.I closed my eyes because of the loudness of his voice, and his grip on me tightened even more."Hey! Get off your hands and don't shout at her," Roswell told Anthony firmly.I opened my eyes again and looked at them both. I saw Roswell holding Anthony, and you could feel their anger towards each other."And why are you even here?" asked Roswell."Stay out of here because I'm the one who should ask you that. We all know here who has the right to Agatha, and that's me!" Anthony answered Roswell.An

    "I don't want you to cry, Kali. I'll be okay. I promise," he said as he continued to wipe the tears from my cheeks."I-I'm just worried," I answered, then sobbed.He nodded at me."I know. That's why I had a hard time telling you because I didn't want you to worry," he told me."Are you crazy? You're important to me, Damian! That's why I'm really worried for you," I said to him, annoyed.He laughed a little and nodded again before hugging me again. I don't know how many minutes we cuddled there, and I have to admit that I will miss him when he leaves.We sat on the beach, watching the sunrise. We were quiet there, and no one spoke, so I took a deep breath and looked at him."Can't you extend your days here? At least two more days so I can prepare for your departure," I said to him, then I snorted.He laughed a little and shook his head, but immediately his face turned serious when he looked at me."I can't do that, Kali. My treatment is already scheduled," he answered.I held my breat

    I was exhausted when I came back outside, as if nothing had happened. Roswell didn't follow me right away because I got out earlier than him. The boys and girls are together at a table, and it looks like the boys have already had a lot to drink. I also noticed that Vera joined in their drinking."Are you drinking with them, Vera?" I asked her, then I laughed a little."Yup! Perks of not being pregnant!" she replied, then laughed to tease.I was snotty because Eunice and I couldn't drink alcohol for a long time, but that wasn't a problem for me because I don't really like drinking alcohol."You should also get pregnant, Vera. When do you and Felix plan to have it?" Eunice asked.I grinned and sat in a chair while I started eating Roswell's cooked salmon. I looked at Vera and waited for her answer because, until now, I still didn't know what her plan was. "We didn't plan it. We're just waiting for it to be given to us," she answered, then shrugged her shoulders.I nodded because that w

    Another week has passed, and we are still the same as before. Roswell is still elusive to us, and I notice that he avoids me.I was very happy when Vera, Felix, Eunice, and Phil visited us. They brought a lot of stuff and food, and I have to admit that I missed them. They were only there for three days, and tomorrow they will be going home. That's why we are having a barbecue outside."How are you doing here? Aren't you bored?" Eunice asked me.The boys were drinking and seemed to be enjoying themselves, not far from us. We girls were just sitting on the lounger while talking."Not really. I'm having fun with Roswell and Damian. They don't let me get bored here," I answered, then shrugged."Do you think they're okay now? Doesn't Damian like you?" Vera asked.I grinned and shrugged my shoulders."Gosh! The two of them are really best friends. They just always like the same girl. The same thing happened to them with Kylie," Vera continued to speak.I frowned and looked at her. I never h

    I felt the wind whipping my whole body and let my long hair blow. I bent down and looked at my feet being hit by the waves of the sea. It was peaceful here, and I want to stay here for a long time, but I know that's not possible.A lot has happened in my life, and I can't put it all together. What's important to me now is that I know my son and I are safe. No one will do anything bad to us because Anthony is already in jail."Kali."I looked up when I heard Roswell's voice from behind me, so I turned to him. He was wearing a black t-shirt and gray sweat shorts. He was also wearing shades, and he removed them when I faced him."I ordered Manang and Kuya Lito to go grocery shopping at the supermarket. Do you want to buy something?" he asked me.Ever since he found out I was pregnant, he didn't agree that I shouldn't go with him for my safety. We're on an island now, and that's the place I've chosen to forget for a while while I'm still not giving birth. I just requested that he maybe ta

    Damian and I just ran away from there, and I just followed him because I didn't know the way outside. He got in here, so I'm sure he knows how to get out too.I was gasping for breath while holding my stomach and almost trying to hold back when I heard a series of gunshots."Oh my gosh!" I said worriedly."I think they're here," Damian told me.I frowned and continued following him while he was busy looking around. I feel so scared, especially when the gunshots don't stop."What do you mean? Who are they?" I asked him curiously.He didn't speak and immediately pulled me away because I was surprised."Stop asking and keep your mouth close," he told me.I couldn't stop the pain because of him sticking to me, so I just kept quiet. He signaled to me not to make noise, and we walked slowly. Even though it was noisy outside because of the gunshots, I could still hear my heart pounding out of fear.I don't know to 'whom' he's referring, but I hope it's Roswell. I can't help but worry because

    "You know? If you had just kept calling, we wouldn't have been here before!" I complained to Damian.Instead of being able to help me get out of here, he felt that Anthony would take him. I just lost hope of ever getting out of here!"Wow, Kali! Are we really going to blame each other now?" he asked sarcastically, which made me cringe.I didn't speak anymore because I was feeling tired. We weren't tied, but we were locked in there, so I approached the door to see if we could find a way to get out of there while Damian remained quietly sitting on the floor.I held my breath, and both of my palms fell when I realized that there was really no other way for us to get out of there. The door was locked from the outside, and the window was barred, so we couldn't get out."You're pregnant. Why didn't you tell us?" Damian asked from behind me.I sighed again and faced him before answering."What for? There's no need to let you know because I'm not part of your life anymore," I replied flatly t

    Eunice and I were so happy that we hugged each other. I am happy for us because, even though we lost something, we were still given new blessings."Congratulations to the both of you, but Eunice, I still have something to discuss with you and your husband. I'll discuss the dos and don'ts," said Eunice's OB."Oh, alright, Doc!" Eunice said excitedly, then she looked at me.I smiled and nodded at them because the doctor had to explain that to them."Take your time. I'll just use the comfort room," I told them.Eunice immediately nodded to me, so I let them enter the room before I left there to go to the comfort room.I was wearing an oversized sweater and maternity leggings. When I wear that, my baby bump is not obvious. That's the first thing I wear when I go out because I'm afraid they'll find out I'm pregnant. I don't want my baby and I to be harmed.I quietly entered the comfort room. I was the only person there, and I changed because it was very quiet there.I went into a cubicle a

    "Kali, it can't always be like this. Let's ask Roswell for help," Eunice told me.I looked up at her and quickly shook my head. I'm just lying in bed now, hugging Agatha's favorite stuffed toy. I didn't feel like getting up, and all I did was cry, especially when we got back to Manila.It's been five weeks since Agatha passed away, and I still can't accept it. Every night I sleep, it haunts me. I know Agatha doesn't deserve to be gone so early. I still have a lot of dreams for her. I still want to see how she will become a teenager and how she will introduce her boyfriend to me.After what happened, my mind and life were no longer peaceful. I always get death threats, and I know Anthony is behind it. I don't know what he can do by threatening me, but he doesn't really stop me.Since I got back to Manila, I haven't seen Roswell again. Beatrice was also imprisoned, and we fought hard against her. That's why I'm happy that I got justice for Agatha. Vera keeps calling me to ask how I am d

    "Roswell, what?! Don't touch me!" I complained to him to get out of his embrace.He didn't speak, and he didn't remove his hug from me. That's why my tears flowed. This is all I need now—his hug! But I know this is wrong because he is already married."Can't you see? I'm not Kylie! I'm not your wife!" I told him one after the other, then I tried to push him away from me.I heard her sobbing as she hugged me. I can feel the weight he feels because of his crying."I-I know, and it hurts me so bad, Kali. I'm so sorry," he said while crying.I bit my lip and closed my eyes. I could barely speak because I was crying."Vera told me a long time ago that she discovered that you're not Kylie, but I didn't believe it because I thought she was just making a way to keep you from coming back into my life," he started telling the story."I believed you were Kylie because I had no other idea that she had a twin. I thought you'd lost your memory, so I was happy because the Kylie I met has changed. Yo
