The heat she felt inside her body moderately subsided. Audrey felt relieved as the cold temperature slowly wrapped around her body. The dizziness she had early on somehow faded away also. The comfort she had painted a carefree smile on her face, and so she closed her eyes. Besides, her vision was still blurry, and she thought it would be better to get some rest first. Meanwhile, at the back of her mind, her subconscious wouldn’t stop banging her head telling her to stay alert.

Audrey drifted to sleep with Shane’s face filling her head, blocking her poor subconscious who were trying to warn her senses. But who cares about the slight reminder that her brain sent all throughout her body when she was contended by just seeing Shane’s face. Audrey could also hear his voice calling out her name and it sounded too good to be true. Even so, she would still prefer to stay occupied with everything about him.

    “Hija!”Mrs. Vargas’ called when Audrey stepped out of the bathroom. “How are you feeling? Did the herbal bath help? We were surprised to see you unconscious on the floor when we arrived,” her mother-in-law continued.Audrey said nothing with indifference in her eyes. First, she had no idea how Mrs. Vargas knew where they went for filming. Shane must have mentioned the possible location but not exactly where. Then, Mrs. Vargas knew where exactly their room was. Audrey was aware that the elder could possibly ask about it from someone in the reception area but would the staff here easily provide this information even she would introduce herself as Shane’s mother? Nah, since this resort was booked by the production team and no other guests were allowed to enter except those tenants and workers whom they referred to as ‘locals&rs

    There was a long deafening silence in the room after Audrey stormed out. Shane couldn’t move from where he was standing and Mrs. Vargas was still sitting composedly on her seat. Everything happened so fast for Shane. He got dumped by Stephanie and a little later he lost his best friend and well, his wife.“Are you just going to stand there and do nothing?” His mother broke the silence and stared at him with her glaring eyes. “If you don’t want to have more things to regret with, just follow her.”Shane remained quiet. He was keeping his mouth shut although he couldn’t help but faced his mother’s gaze. He knew it all along. His mother who was sweet and gentle was actually cunning and manipulative. After all, he took that side of him from her. However, the way she treated Audrey all this while was what her heart really de

    The rain had finally stopped, leaving the sky clear; with no heavy, dark, rain clouds blocking the moonlight. The sunny afternoon was gone in a blink and the hours of raining seemed like forever. The important thing was, the rain was over. It wouldn’t be too cold at night to sleep anymore nor too dark outside with the thick clouds. When nightfall came, it was time for the moon to shine and illuminate the earth, guiding the lost soul to the right path and pulling those in despair from the abyss.Audrey opened her peepers when she felt uncomfortable in her position. She was crying for hours again until she fell asleep on the floor. She clicked her tongue. “I’m wasted,” she whispered. Her legs felt numb, and she had to wait for a while until she could finally move them. It was bothersome to stand up when she could barely feel her legs, she was scared she might fall on the ground. Anyway, who would care a

    “Hmm…”Audrey moaned while arching her back to stretch her limbs. She pushed away the blanket draped on her body and spread her arms on the bed, looking up at the ceiling. She realized that most ceilings were painted white, giving anyone a hint of excitement early in the morning when waking up and facing the blank space above. Just like how she felt while staring at it, it made her want to paint a story she had of the day before she went to bed again at night. And the next morning, she would be sure to see the white ceiling again, inviting her to stand still on her feet and create a meaningful day to paint at it again when the night comes. Her mind felt a little refreshed after getting a nice sleep. She was thankful she survived after a painful night due to her bleeding heart.

    With everything said and almost done, the night seemed too long for Shane. He couldn’t sleep after meeting the person whom his mother was suspected about the cause of Audrey’s car accident five years ago. They had a casual talk about something for a while. Shane was somewhat grateful that the person didn’t stay for long, or he might lose his cool and start a confrontation about the issue involving Audrey.Shane could still not forget how his heart stopped beating for a second when he heard about the news of Audrey’s accident five years ago. Perhaps, Audrey wouldn’t decide to turn the car around after she reached the resort where they were supposed to have their honeymoon. If he was there with her, she might have avoided the accident and Audrey wouldn’t suffer emotionally within the past few years since she got involved in that said accident. And all those things were already in the past. A

    The assembly of the casts and mangers didn’t last more than an hour. The director just wanted to have a little talk about the actors' and actresses’ thoughts about the filming site and their first-day experience. Everyone loved the place and said it was more convenient for them since they could have enough rest for not having to go to one place and another. While the production head had informed the managers about the setting for the current project, the talents didn’t expect and even the managers that the place would be literally like a paradise in the middle of the woods where a small city could be found.They were all dismissed after the small discussion and were told to enjoy their breakfast although some crew had to start filming some scenes.

    Just like any other parties she attended, Audrey would always look for a corner where she could have a peaceful time drinking her wine or appreciate the stars outside if it was nighttime. While everyone was cheering loudly and some would even pull someone to the dance floor to move along the rhythm, Audrey was sitting by the window, quietly holding a glass of cocktail drink. Her eyes were wandering on the night sky with stars shimmering in the dark. She intended to be alone at some point while thinking about the things she should do the next day.Audrey wasn’t sure if she should tell Shane to move out to completely cut the ties between them. She certainly had to but at the same time, she was worried about him a little since his parents were away and their old house was probably sold a long time ago. If Shane needed a place to stay when he was done with the project, it should be a place where he could live his private l

    His grip went tighter whenever she tried to move, resisting from his kiss. It wasn’t the first time their lips touched. But Shane’s eagerness was new to her. When he kissed her before, he was mad and probably devastated about his relationship. And Audrey couldn’t think of any reason why he’d suddenly kiss her again. Not just a kiss, but he was wild and seemingly craving?Shane took the chance to insert his tongue inside her mouth when her guard was down and was trying to say something. He explored her cavity with his adventurous tongue leaving every corner in her mouth untouched. She moaned when she couldn’t breathe as the air was seemed to be blocked. Audrey was unconsciously holding her breath while he was kissing her and that was the problem. It was obvious she had no idea how to properly kiss someone.“Hah!” She gasped fo

The elder couldn’t forget how her son blushed while answering ‘Yes’ to her future daughter-in-law’s proposal. It was a rather unique marriage proposal she ever witnessed.

Furthermore, she could spend more time with her fiancé which boosted her mood tenfold.

The actor chose to face the ceiling rather than looking at Lucy’s fuming face. If was born with a talented hand, he could have already drawn her cartoon version with the smoke-like effect coming out from her nostrils. He was thinking about how his manager would look like when he heard him call his name in her infamous low voice.“Shane,” Lucy mumbled his name slowly and with an accuracy of the sound of every letter containing his name. “What do we do now?” Her tone remained the same though her voice went lower than before. Shane could guess, Lucy was in a not so good mood.A month ago, he did something on his own without telling his manager again. Just

She chuckled when she remembered how she pulled it off until it turned red though she was glad it wasn’t swollen.“Good morning,” Audrey greeted with a smile when Shane opened his eyes.

    An awkward silence filled the car while Shane was driving home. He would throw glances at Audrey who kept wearing a serious face that terrified the other. The trip was long and the actor wished he could make the car sprint to the villa just so to avoid Audrey’s occasionally cold gazes. After what happened back in the restaurant, Shane suddenly felt intimidated. Why not? Audrey effortlessly beat him almost to a pulp. If not for Nathan and Francesca’s interruption, pulling Audrey away from him, the actor would be less than admirable with his bruises. Well, he didn’t blame Audrey a bit. He was aware of her ‘violent’ side beforehand. After all, he earned a kiss from her in advance. It was more than sufficient for him.“Have you had dinner?” Audrey took the chance to break the silence when Shane was parking the car on the driveway. She took a peek at the time on her digital wristwatch. Sh

Her hands automatically moved to reach out to his face, she caressed him softly with nothing but tears of joy in her eyes.“Shane…” Audrey called out his name again. She blinked her eyes several times to make sure she wasn’t dreaming but her tears just blurred her sight instead. Shane wiped her tears with his thumb and smiled at her. “Shane,” Audrey whispered. She had a lot of things to say but her mouth didn’t want to cooperate with her. All she could mutter was his name and it had been three times since she called him out.“Yes, baby. It’s me, I’m back,” was what Audrey heard him say. The lady still couldn’t believe her eyes, but she was genuinely glad to s

    It had been a month since the last time Audrey saw Shane in person. She was missing him so much though she couldn’t lift her phone to dial his number nor compose a message. Her long face became her everyday mask. The staff in the restaurant were never tired of cheering her on. Not that she wanted to worry them, she could still do what she had to. And her current situation was something she had to face alone. She decided to trust Shane and while she was at it, Audrey thought it would be wiser not to bother the actor in the meantime. Calling him should be easy for her but who knew? Her action might cause him more trouble. She decided to wait, and she would endure it how long it may take.“Auddie, aren’t you going to take a break? You can let Nathan take your place for a while. You need to eat,” Francesca who became more talkative than usual said. She rarely talked in Italian thus the others could easily
