"Would you like to hear a story, Ms. Lianna Smith?" Eridessa Joseph leaned forward, her hands clasping with her chin resting on top of it. Her mocking eyes looked intently on me, causing me complete discomfort.

"No thanks. I got to go." I don't need to hear anymore. If I stay here any longer, I don't know what I'll do. I might regret it. Putting the bill on the table, I hurried to grab my things and stood, yet I stopped in my tracks when she sighed, leaning backwards before calling for the waiter.

"That's a pity. I think you'd be delighted to hear what I'm about to say."

My mind wanted to close shut, annoyed by the presence of this woman. However, my heart and my body remained still, stoned in anticipation of what she had to say.

Taking a gracious sip on her tea, she started storytelling something.

"Once upon a time, there was a girl who dreamed of having everything. It was a simple wish of an innocent child. Who wouldn't dream of such a grandeur life? Yet, ever since she came to th

    "W-what? What's all this…?" With shaky hands, I turned to face the person I considered as my second father. Yet, he just pulled his pipe and smoked, complacently, as he took a seat on the one-seater leather sofa. Even Natalia Kilmer seemed confused at first, like she wasn't informed about it. Yet, realizing what it meant, her frown immediately brightened up, turning to into a joyful smile."You're no longer blind, right? So, read it quick and sign. I don't have time for your shallow mumblings." Bernard Kilmer signalled to one maid. One of them suddenly moved towards me, giving me…a fountain pen.They're really intent on breaking me. Facing back at the papers in my hand, I froze, seeing a familiar signature…beside my name…He signed it…I sighed, defeatedly.That pleading act of yours and that heartbroken expression you wore as you knelt in front of me…that was all a lie. An act of a scheming victim…You say you wanted to bring me back yet here you are, conniving with your parents to

We were back at her hotel and here I am, sulking at her bedroom now.My body feels so weary. I wanted so much as to sleep it off yet my senses were restless, curious on the seriousness on Limwel's voice earlier.Getting up and walking towards the door, I opened it slightly, so as not to catch their attention. They were watching something on the television with their backs against me."Mrs. Natalia Kilmer. Is the rumors regarding your son's infidelity true?" Suddenly, a voice

No one will know where you are…Why is it so hard…to be happy?As my mind wandered at the sight of a white dove flapping its wings away, I found myself standing on Lily Palace.It wasn't hard to enter.

That all the things that happened have been put out of my mind…What a jokester…really.

    Like him, I was shocked by my own gesture. He was a stranger, yet, with one look at his eyes, my body suddenly…moved.Before I knew it…my hand slowly reached his damp cheeks, caressing it carefully. Despite seeming creepy as of the moment, the only thing that remained on my mind was how pained and stressed he looked.It was like…mirrored by those eyes, were myself, from a year ago…until now…It took a few minutes for him to regain his senses and shove the strange hand touching him, prompting me to wake up from my delusion as well."I don't need your pity!" He exclaimed before taking a few steps, bewildered by the unexpected remark of a stranger.As he walked away, my sights landed on my palm.What's that all about, Lia? You don't even know him…I thought he had gone off after all that but surprisingly, he remained on the rooftop, now gazing up at the same scenery as I was before I noticed his presence. Towards Crimson Hotel…There it is…that same melancholic stare…"Is it your hobby t

    A strong, irritating sensation came flashing in my eyes, damping my sensitive eyelids with a familiar warmth. As I opened my eyes, the wooden ceiling greeted my blurry sight.Wait…it was a dream?I reached for my head, which was aching the moment I opened my eyes. But, it wasn't just my head. My entire body…was screaming in pain. I curled on top of the body, hugging myself when a wave of ghost pain trickled on my every sense. I felt like I broke into a cold sweat.That dream…shit, did I die in that dream?I shivered on that thought. Everything that transpired, I still…felt it. The pain on my body as it collided with that speeding truck.It was surreal…"Damn it, mom. Just leave us alone. All is done so you can't do anything about it anymore. Dad already gave us his blessing–oh shit, Lia! Love, you're awake!" Suddenly, the door flung open, revealing Rupert who came rushing in towards me, throwing the phone he was holding.He hugged me tight on his arms, burying my face deep on his ches

    "I think we didn't really get to formally introduce ourselves, did we?" He got up from his seat and lent his palm."Nice to meet you, Ms. Lianna. This is quite the unusual greeting." He chuckled. I reached for his hand to return the greeting."It really is. So, you're that woman's lover, huh? I admit, I was shocked to hear she had someone with her while she…uhmm…you know…" Hesitant as it is, my mouth couldn't help but to be curious. In just a day, a lot has happened. Until now, my mind is still taking its all to process everything, to the point we forgot even the simplest thing. To find out each other's names."I get what you mean…I have the same sentiments…" He sat back beside me, staring into nothingness."What are you going to do from now on?" I haven't thought about that…what do I want to do with this miraculous second chance? What…path would I take…this time?"Judging from your expression, you still believe that he could change…" I shivered at his remark. With widened eyes, I t

We were wandering around, having the best of our lives.I was getting swayed. To the point that fate had to slap me hard with the viscious reality once again.My gaze were fixated at his phone, currently vibrating on top of the bedside table. I didn't mean to take a peep but my eyes themselves were drawn to the caller.EJ calling…If I didn't know any better, I wouldn't assumed its a man, a friend maybe of his…however, my mind screamed only one, familiar name bearing those initials.The call stopped after a while. I thought it would end there, but a notification popped up."Meet me at Hiro's bar tonight. It's urgent."A message…from her…My hand shook midair. However, I held it in when the bathroom door flung open. With only a towel in his waist, Rupert walked towards me as he flicked his drenched hair."Love, what's–""Someone called

    "Shit! I'm late!" Lianna exclaimed, followed by a series of shrieks and clumsy sprint to the bathroom. A bunch of curses echoed on the tiled walls, complaining about how she got quite a lengthy sleep. Too comfortable to earn her a hectic morning.It only took her a speedy few minutes to collect herself into a rather decent look before grabbing her messy things and dumping them in her bag."Hey. Where are you off this early in the morning?" Traversing down the staircase, her head tilted to the source of the sound.Sneaking a peek from the kitchen, Jasper's head popped up to meet her disheveled gaze."Oh Jasper, you're still here. Can I ride with you to the office? I forgot to set up the alarm and I'm seriously late." She pleaded while trying to grab hold of all the things she needed to bring. Both of her hands were busy and cluttered as it is, making her attention flying everywhere.However, Lianna raised her head once again when she realizes something."Wait…why are you not dressed? A

    "Finally, that lasted far too long."Jasper breathes out a tired sigh, loosening down the black tie that seemed to choke out the living shit out of him for the entire afternoon."Good work today, Mr. Wayne. You've been quite impressive these past few months. So impressive, I almost thought you became a different person." The silence he was craving after a long, hectic meeting immediately was thrown out of the window when a familiar voice came up behind him."Mr. Lim. It's nothing to cause such high regards." Jasper plastered a fake smile as he turned to meet the middle-aged man exiting the board room after him.Despite the friendly word, his brows twitched at the sight of the shameless man who used to ridicule him in the past, now seemingly shining the widest smile he could offer."Humble, at that. Now that I'm seeing clearly, you're slowly resembling your father and elder siblings. I guess, it's in the blood no matter how one looks.""Maybe it is…" "Oh well. Enough of that. I'm curi

    "Oh would you look at that…the blind girl finally has minions following her. An upgrade, is it?" Eridessa glanced at Seria, who froze in nervousness. Her hands holding the cards visibly shaking.Despite the smiling face, Seria knows that the newly arrived woman is someone who's up to no good."Weren't you listening back then? The blind girl is no longer blind. Might that be you? Can't you see we're having fun for ourselves?" Lianna lazily looks at her, ticking her off with the unexpected attitude."How rude, Lianna. I was just catching up with you…" Despite her remark, Lianna still caught on to the grit."Here I am wondering where you went after the wedding? Oh! Was it the honeymoon? Tsk. My bad. I was also busy with mine so it slipped my mind. Congratulations on your wedding, Mrs. Kilmer. I heard you had a SPECTACULAR ceremony. I'm jealous." Lianna didn't know where she got the courage to speak such sharp words but she did, like it's a natural thing to do."Is it me or you look quite

    Losing count of all the time passed, Lianna sighs heavily as she lazily slumps towards her desk. This was the first time she felt so drained and tired going back and forth outside of her comfort zone.For someone who spent most of her life in the vicinity of her home, this was a new chapter of her. A new accomplishment, not as Lianna Smith or Kilmer, but as Lianna Callis Kreisler Wayne.Yet, her new identity and status has its limits. With the challenge of building an entertainment agency from the ground, a lot of things emerged to be settled. Despite being declared an heir and a wife of a powerful man, Lianna hasn't proven herself, hence the people she had met were quite wary in involving themselves with her for business relations. In the eyes of such wealthy businessmen, she was just a newborn.She was discouraged at first, yet, the pressure that was building gave her a boost to cease the sulking and step up her game. Despite the countless rejections to hire a talent, she remained p

    "You're back too early." Chairman Leo greeted Lianna when she entered his main office.She trailed her eyes to the entire space before walking towards his table at the very front. She still couldn't get used to how beautiful the interiors in this office were."I need to be prepared. Anyways, what should I do?" Lianna asked. A week after they got back from their trip, she was to officially report to the office, hence marching inside the building with nervousness. A lot of people were watching her every move and it's taking her all not to collapse in anxiety from their intense stares.'Geez…back then, I didn't have to worry about such attention.' She muttered to herself."Here. Read it." He pulled a folder from one of the drawers and lent it to her. Confusion instantly came over her when she read the details inside."An entertainment branch? From what I remember, the Kreisler family doesn't dwell in that type of industry." Before the wedding, she underwent training under him for a shor

    "Greetings. You've arrived." As soon as they reached the parking lot, they were met with a few, black suited men."Lance…how're you doing?" Jasper calls out the man in front, seemingly leading the other men with him. With his usual, black outfit, Lance bows before responding."Doing good sir." He answered briefly. Lianna then calls him next. It's been a while since she saw her stoic guard again."Hello, sir Romero. Good to see you again.""You too, Madam. I see you're doing well." He flashes a reserved smile."Yup. I had a great time." She spoke joyfully, returning the smile she received.Meanwhile, Jasper twitches his brows. His eyes switched between the two, who were currently exchanging greetings."We have finished loading the luggage, so–" before Lance could continue, Jasper cut him off."Actually, Lance. Give me the keys." He spoke, his palm suspended in the air, waiting."Pardon?""Ride with Taylor this time. I'll drive the both of us." When he responded, he turned to Lianna. Se

    The past month was fun. After that talk by the beach, Lianna and Jasper got to know more about each other. As his friend said before they departed to the island, they had the entire half of the island for themselves, that included first dibs to the natural reserves and tourist spots that were yet to be opened to the public.There was awkwardness in the air at first, but after a few days, slowly and steadily, they forged a friendship above their contractual relationship.Both Lianna and Jasper temporarily forgot about everything and enjoyed each other's company. They couldn't hide the excitement within them, realizing that they made another genuine friend after their small circle.And just like always, their time alone ended in a flash…so as it seemed for them."I request everyone aboard to please sit back and wear your seatbelts, as we are nearing for landing." The captain announced in the intercom from the cockpit. The two who were busy passing time playing chess hurried to sit back

    “A penny of your thoughts?” Upon hearing a mellow voice, Lianna turned. With the cold wind putting his hair in disarray, Jasper walked towards her, wearing a simple polo shirt and pants, paired with casual slippers. Gazing at his face, Lianna thought of the drastic, physical change of his body, comparing how he looked when they first met. If she didn’t know any better, he might’ve looked like someone else.“Jasper…are you feeling okay?”“Yeah. Sorry, I wasn't able to join you for most of the afternoon.” he spoke in a shy apology. Thinking how he just straight up collapsed, the moment his body touched the soft bed, embarrassment filled his system.Despite their agreement, they were still a married couple. Newlyweds, at that. As a husband, the first thing he did was to sleep right in and left his wife to wander for herself. Lianna saw right through him, catching up with his internal dilemma. “It's fine. I've got a lot of free time wandering around. The place is gorgeous.” It was the

    "Why didn't you protect her?" It was the first thing that Rupert heard the moment he entered the room. He just got back from talking to his mother, still stressed. Yet, seeing another person inside, he sighed in disbelief."Mitchell…""The doctor said about traumatic infliction…who did this to her? Was it your family?" Lacey spoke with gritted teeth, gaze fixated on Lianna who busied herself watching the scenery outside from the large, glass windows.She never uttered a word while they conversed, as if she's in her own, little world. Looking so lost, Lacey raged, especially when she confirmed her suspicions when he spoke."Unfortunately…yes." In an instant, Rupert felt…embarrassed. He assured Lacey he'd take care of her, yet this happened."Damn…I know your bitch of a mother is the culprit, right? That witch, how dare she! I've been holding back because it's your family and Lia's wish, but this…she just sentenced herself for torture for almost killing my sister!" Lacey wanted to burst
