"And why didn't you say judge Sage? I was shocked when I saw him among the jurors!"
"I also do not know."
"Come on, let's picture!" he said while handing the cellphone to a student who was there to take pictures of us. I smiled faintly. Then I looked at them Sage. He was looking at me. I heard the laughter of the teachers and it was as if he and your winning woman were being teased.
I averted my eyes.
"Congrats, Rose! You were great too, Kaia!" said Warren as he approached us with Arvic and their other friends. Arvic also brought a bouquet for Rose.
"Wow! Thank you ha!"
I looked up on the stage again. Now they are pushing to picture your winner and Sage. They are

When Friday came, I looked to see if I could go out on Saturday. Fortunately, there are no group outputs to do. I have homework but I can do it on Friday night or maybe on Sunday. It won't take much time.So when I got home, I immediately told Mama about the plan. She didn't go against with it. He just said that we should just be careful on the trip. She also wants to talk to Sage before we travel.I slept happily that night. After I texted Sage to come with me I went to sleep right away. The next morning, I received a text from him. It was said that he was going to travel here. It was sent around 4 AM.I acted and was ready. At eight o'clock Sage arrived, right after I had taken a bath and tidied up. I only wore a white high waist shorts and black shirt. I also capped to avoid the heat.Sage brought coffee and cupcakes so that's all I ate while we were on the trip. I couldn't have breakfast because I didn't want to wait for Sage. Mama talked to him befor

"Wow! That's nice!" I exclaimed when I saw the high lighthouse in front of us.In front of it is a high cliff, marking the beautiful end of El Fuego. The rays of the afternoon sun and the blue sky above reflected in the sea stretching beyond the cliff. It almost looked surreal. Everything felt surreal."Let's go up," Sage said once looking at the lighthouse.When I nodded, he took my hand and guided me into it. I pressed my palm on his to feel more of its warmth as we walked on the stairs of the lighthouse.If I had been amazed before when I was still downstairs, I was even more amazed that I was already upstairs and could almost see everything. My lips parted in amazement. This is beyond wonderful.I gripped on the bannisters as the sharp wind blew my hair. I let you ripple like the sea in the distance."It's nice here, Sage!"Sage leaned against the railing. He raised an elbow there and bowed as he stared at me. My heart was beating
The Demoness Alpha 67: Felt So Important
I could not answer. After gathering all my strength to ask him those things, this is what I've got. Finally, I also heard from him what he wanted to happen to us.I don't know how would I react. I know I hope so. That he was serious with me. But now that he finally said that he wants us, I don’t know what to say. It felt surreal. Like something close to impossible."You heard me, Kaia? I want your commitment. I want you committed to me." It was as if I was being pulled by his voice.I closed my eyes tightly and leaned my forehead on his shoulder. I inhaled and exhaled. I swallowed when I felt his little kiss on my hair."But I want you to know that there's no pressure. You're right. What I did wasn't purely chivalry. Believe me, I am no prince charming, I am no gentleman. I want you to know that this is what I feel. This is what I want. "I heard her sigh. He caressed my hair. I took a deep breath. I feel like I'm losing strength every second

I opened our rusty picket fence. The door of the house is open. I was about to enter and there I was surprised to see a familiar woman sitting on the old sofa in the living room. Immediately his serious eyes turned to me."Long time no see, Kaia." She smiled politely. But that did not reach his eyes. She's so cold as always. But even so I was still happy we met again.I dropped the bag on the small table in the middle before sitting down on the opposite sofa. She looked so beautiful. Her hair was tied on a bun. She was wearing a pencil cut skirt and tube overlaid with a black coat. With her heels and semi formal attire, she looked so out of place in this kind of surrounding.Georgia is my only cousin on the father side. Aunt Alandra, his mother was Papa's only sister. She was able to marry a rich man and have a business so they could rise in life.Five years ago, they have to go abroad for Tito's medications. They used to help Mama and me and Tita told be

In their conversation Livius mentioned there the upcoming birthday of Sage. I want to interfere and ask the date but I bit my tongue to stop myself. Jonas looked at me with a raised eyebrow. He seemed to notice my restraint."August 19 is Sage's birthday. You don't know, Kaia?" Jonas asked casually, grinning. "For sure Tita Valerina will organize a big celebration for him. I'm sure he will invite you."I'm almost dizzy. Jonas was so tactless! I haven't even told Mama about Sage and me but this one doesn't know how to feel.I drank water and sneezed."It's in Manila ... far away." I can't take it anymore. But somehow, I am glad that Jonas spoke.Because of that I found out when Sage’s birthday was. I want to give him something, at least. I don't have money to buy a gift but I can make my own gift. That way, it will be more remarkable. So even if I can't attend her birthday, it's okay as long as I can give her at least a gift."But I'm s

What Sage wants is for the two of us to celebrate his birthday alone. I didn't like idea so I said no. With that, he just decided to invite me to his birthday celebration.I can't say no because it's his birthday. And he wants me to be there. So a week before that I asked Mama for permission.She didn't say no. In fact, she even helped me choose clothes to wear. It's a semi formal party so I can just wear one of my dresses. There is something that hasn't been used there yet so that's all I'll use.Three days before Sage's birthday, Tita Alandra visited. He was with Georgia. They talked a lot Mama. He said they really suffered there in other countries when Tito was still sick."What's your course?" Georgia asked as she helped me prepare our snack in the kitchen. They Mama were there on the patio and still talking."Accountancy."She nodded. "I know the son of the owner of a well-known accounting firm in Manila. After you pass the board, I can

I fall back into bed. I am weakened by the extreme fear for myself and Mama and pain because of what I have heard lately. Tania answered Sage's phone in the middle of the night. That means ... My mouth watered and tears flowed. Not just because of that but also because of my situation now.Four men are in front of me with a full masks in their heads. I didn’t recognize them because of that. And I'm not in the right frame of mind to find out more. All I am thinking now is to escape from this place!"What are you doing here? Why did you come in ?!" my voice trembled but I tried to stop my tears. "Help! Help–""All right, you'll still scream and you might not be able to catch your mother alive tomorrow."I grew cold when I heard the familiar voice. But I was even more frightened when his companion pulled out a gun! I covered my mouth and lost myself."Baldo, keep an eye on his mother in the other room. When you hear her screaming, hit the

The white ceiling was the first thing I saw the moment I opened my eyes. The pain in my cheek and headache I endured and blinked to correct my vision.I closed my eyes to remember why I am in such place. I moved my hand but I realized something was attached to it. Then I heard voices. Those were familiar but the void didn't vanish. I didn't feel safe."She's awake ..." said a voice I'm sure from Tita Alandra."Oh my! Kaia!" One hand held my arm.I opened my eyes and there I saw who was in that room.Rose was sitting on the side of the bed and crying as she held me. Beside her were Tita Alandra and Georgia. Both of them have weary eyes while staring at me. Tita's nose was red as if she had just started crying. At my feet stood Aunt Susie and Brenda with both puffy eyes."A-What's going on?"Brenda's eyes widened.I got up and leaned back on the bed. I closed my eyes emphatically.When I opened my eyes again I felt nervous

I almost shivered when his hand touched my waist. Every flick of his tongue was full of ardor. I was so close to his shoulder when he lifted me off the bed. Crouching in front of me like a dominant hunter ready to end his long famine, he pulled my nape aggressively as he gave me an alluvion of intoxicating kisses. A strange heat flared up in my body. His hand skillfully found the zipper of my dress and maneuvered it, while his hot kisses were traveling down to my jaw. I flinched at the caress of his hand on my back. My body was shaking and it feels like I couldn't hold on to my precious sanity any longer. My inhibitions and rationality were all thrown out of the window, leaving my mind empty. With my kind of lifestyle, I could have easily gave in to my past boyfriends who asked me for it. I’m not ready yet, that’s what I always say. But the truth is, I was searching for the man who could make me feel like this. I can’t give that to past boyfriends because I c

Holding my books, my props rather, I went in, and the chatterings were silenced.It wasn't long though, when I heard soft murmurs."Grace? So she's the one who will help Mrs. Rellis present the topic? Pero first year lang siya. Don't you think that's a bit off?" the girl on the third row whispered to her seatmate."Ah. It's a good thing I didn't continue to be absent. I wouldn't miss this," the man in the back said. His group looked at me as if I'd be pleased with their smug smiles."Yeah, bro. Grace's beautiful. I really don't know why so many are afraid of her. I mean, why would they be scared of an angel's face?"I could feel my lips almost twitching. Angel? I wonder if I'd let them see my fangs, would they still think the same?"Pabida. Isn't this an insult to us? We're in our third year and then we will be taught a first year without even taking a course?"Jealousy. One of the emotions very common among humans. Nothing new.

My eyebrows rose."In that case, why are you still here?"His lips parted a bit and gave me a critical look. He didn't speak immediately as if he knew I would be offended by what he was going to say."Tita suddenly ordered something so Cesar left on my motorbike. I will take you home.""What ?!""Yes, Chanelle."Lintik!"What is Mommy's order and all of a sudden ?!""I don't know. Cesar never said that."I sighed and rolled my eyes. Push me into the back seat. Why is it that he was not the only one ordered instead of my driver.Mommy and Daddy took a long time to get home that night. It's often like that. So every time like that, often, I deliver dinner to teresa or say to eat later. I don't even want to keep up with Euan.I rehearsed the lines of my audition piece before going to sleep. With my effort, I'm sure there's a good chance I'll get it. So the next day, I was really positive."Good luck, Ch

Of course! Why would I prioritize anything else if I knew my family was falling apart? I would have booked the earliest flight the moment I heard the news."Of course, I also don't want to ruin a special event in your life. Especially since you announced you had a big endorsement offer in the States."I sighed. Coming back to Philippines was supposed to be just a short vacation. And even before going home, I decided to accept the offer. While I was studying my film degree, I also accepted some modeling jobs and catwalks.At first, I only accepted the offer because I was bored and wanted to try. Eventually, I realized it's fun and I was actually good at it. So I started accepting offers one after another. My parents didn't have problem with it.Mommy even offered to help me land in good offers, since she was also a model before, and many acquaintances. But I declined because it seemed unfair to others who eeffort to go to go-sees. I don't want to be chosen

I was a little terrified when we looked at each other. I immediately turned to Mommy."Mom, he looks unpleasant. He's too thin, pale and has very dark eyes. He looks like the nerd and malnourished version of Dracula–""Chane!"I stopped and bit my lower lip."He's a very kind boy. He's poor and has no relatives. He has nowhere to go. Can't we help him a bit?""Then, bring him to the orphanage?"Mommy greeted me."We're not planning to adopt him, okay? We'll just help him a bit. You'll remain our only baby, Chanelle," she assured me and kissed my forehead.I pouted. I looked at the boy again and when I saw that he was also looking at me, I hid a little from Mommy. I'll remind Daddy later to double the locks on my door. Maybe later it's Dracula's slave and he's planning to suck my blood at night.With another person living in our house, it was really hard to adjust at first. I got used to just the three of us Mommy s

"What ?! You're just suddenly popping up there! What are you? Ghost?"His brow raised."How about you? Why are you standing there in the middle? You're even modeling in the car park?"This idiot!"What do you care? Mind your own business!" once turn away from him and walk away.Though, it's not long when I heard his voice again. He followed me."Where are you going, Chanelle? You've already passed your car."I closed my eyes tightly, not looking back at him."I know! I won't use that car. Froilan already has the key so how can I use it?""And what car are you in?""Cinderella's carraige?" my sarcastic answer."Very funny, Chane.""Oh, I'm glad I humored you!"A tug on the wrist stopped me. In shock I even released the clutch. I glared at Euan. If I could just blow out the fire, he would have been cooked for a long time."You're being dragged! You've been here before, ah? What the hell i

"Chane Estrella?"I smiled at the acquaintances. They were shocked that I came."Chane! You're back! When else?""Just hours ago," I replied and looked around. It's just that I couldn't find Daddy because there were other acquaintances to greet him."Hello, hija! Are you here to accompany your Daddy?"I smiled at the old woman. Family friend so I let go."Yes. Actually, my Mommy should be with her now. But something urgent came, so I'm here on her stead.""Oh! But I thought ..." she trailed off and laughed a bit.The malicious glint in her eyes told me what she's thinking. I plastic smiled and passed him. Supposedly friendly, but really just want to gossip.The whispers of the envy did not escape me, the ones who can never reach my level, so the envy just goes through the motions. I continue walking without looking at them, unbothered by whatever they're talking about behind my back.An actor greeted me. I would h

"She offered me and my father's campaign team to stay here for the campaign. She promised a comfortable place and good accommodation. Is that what you're saying?""She didn't promise anything else?" His lips stretched in doubt. The look is stinging."What else would she promise?""Like marrying me?"There was a ghost of smile on his lips."She brought you here. She won't do that just to help. It's obvious that she's pairing us."I grinned and shook, laughing. I never thought he could humor me that way.Her eyes narrowed as if wondering why I was reacting that way."Why? You're afraid to be tied up?" I taunted."So you know Mama has such a plan? You want to marry me?"This brute! Very arrogant too really. Is he thinking that every woman in the world is dying to marry him? Ridiculous."Don't worry. I'm sure your Mama has no plans to marry us. And I don't want to marry you as well."Her smile faded. For

The first courses and drinks were served. I was expecting that we'll talk about family issues that night, but since Tita Glesilda was there, if not the business then the campaign is in question."Actually, Leandra wants him to lead the campaign there in Antique this summer.""Really?" Tita Glesilda looked at me."Yes, Glesilda. She's that passionate to help her father's campaign," Mama said proudly."That's good! If so, where will she stay in Antique during that time?""We have a mansion in San Ardiente. She can stay there with the campaign staffs.""But who will take care of them there? Do you have househelps there?""Ah. Right! We haven't been there since Mama died so only the caretaker was left. But ... I think we could just send househelps ...""Oh, that's too hassle, Ramona! How about this ... I'll house them in our mansion in Vida Riqueza?"Lucius and I looked at each other. He raised an brow and smirk."Are
