"So I wish you were never born by your Mom, so we could be happy without someone like you," he added. It felt like a knife repeatedly stabbing me.This is not the Father I see. Not the Father that I want. Not the Father I used to be with.Why? Why? Why? Why is it like this?My ears went deaf, and I couldn't speak or answer what he was saying.I wanted to run away... far away from them, but I couldn't even stand up or move. My heart was slowly breaking with everything I heard."What are you saying to the child, Angelo?!" I heard Mom shout. She looked at me worriedly but I couldn't talk to them."What do you want, Sherry?! Do you want her to remain blind to the truth forever?! We need to wake her up!" Angelo shouted back. He looks so mad at me.He smirked and looked at me with disdain, revealing his true self because he used to always smile at me and make me feel like I was also part of his family. This is not the Man I see and looked up to!I stood there dumbfounded, just watching help
"Look, your eyes are teary. Come here, I'll kiss them to make the pain go away," I heard Kyle say, so I smiled broadly.I recounted everything to him, and he was the only one who understood me. It was only with him that I let out all the resentment I was feeling.He is the only one I have at the moment. I don't think I'm okay after hearing all of that. I just can't with it. I'm not okay anymore because of that.I continued to eat the homemade ice cream he made. I didn't know if he was a chef or an engineer.I paused my thoughts when my phone rang, so I checked it.From: Mom."Sorry for what happened earlier, dear. Your Dad couldn't help but to tell you. I still know your real Dad, but we just don't talk. He's been asking about you, but I tell him you're happy with us. If you want, I can introduce you to him. He's been looking for you for a long time. I'm really sorry, my child."I didn't know how to respond to her message. I blinked several times because of it. My hands were sweating
"Thomas William," he said as he looked into my eyes."Oh, okay," I replied shortly and grabbed some chips from there.I bowed before turning away from him. I wasn't interested in him just because our eyes were similar."Your Mom ran away from me," I heard him say, which made me stop in my tracks. I looked at him again because of what he said, but he had already left.What?Because of my lack of interest, I left and headed to the meat section where we were supposed to meet.I waved at him, but he just frowned."Why?" I asked."I followed you earlier," he sighed. "Who was the guy you were talking to earlier?" he asked, making me grin."Are you jealous?" I chuckled.He avoided my gaze, which made me laugh even more."He told me that the new chips there were delicious," I told him."I'm not jealous," he said."Let's go," I said before going to the counter to pay.We both finished so we headed straight to the parking lot to leave. When I got into the car, I received a message from my Mom.
"I'm now engaged to Victoria Gonzales!" he said, almost stopping us all in our tracks.I glanced at Mom, who was utterly shocked by her husband's words. Various emotions could be seen on her face, and even Saito was taken aback."The hell? That's impossible, CEO Angelo!" I heard them whisper."You have a family in front of you," someone else said.I remained looking at Angelo, who still had a grin on his face as if he wasn't hurting anyone in front of him.The woman he called 'Victoria' approached him. She was beautiful, and her body exuded in sexiness. Are you telling me he replaced Mom with that sexy woman?"Sis, that's Dad's secretary," I heard Saito whisper in shock..Mom was still in shock."Honestly, guys, this is my engagement party, that's why I invited all of you here," he grinned before looking at us. "And of course, I already signed the divorce papers, I'm just waiting for her signature.""Dad!" That's when I looked at Saito, who shouted. There were cameras, and everyone her
"Oh, you don't know your father?" I heard him laugh."Well, he's Thomas William." That's when my whole world stopped, and an image of the person I met at the grocery store flashed in my mind."He left you and your Mother alone, that's why I kept your Mom for a long time," he laughed loudly. "He dumped you because you're trash."That's when bullets pierced my chest, and the pain was unbearable. I couldn't bring myself to look at him because what he said might be true."Your Mom knows everything. They keep in touch, but she didn't mention you to your own real Father," he laughed like a maniac. "Is it because you're trash, and your Mom doesn't really want you?" he added, but I felt frozen in place."Don't listen. Get out of there, Savannah."Those words were painful enough to make me breathless. I forced myself to walk out of the building and saw Mom still crying there."Mom." I called her without any enthusiasm, which lifted her gaze."Is it true that you know my real Dad?" I asked firm
My shock remained as I watched Kyle kissing Jannah. Jannah was sitting on Kyle's lap while they kissed. Kyle even had his arm around her waist to support her during their kiss.It felt like cold water was poured over me as I watched them.My lips hung open as I watched them. I could see Angelo's face in Kyle's, with another girl beside him.I wanted to scream and confront them, but it felt like my feet were glued to the ground. If I confront them, will anything change? Will anything be different? They're already kissing anyway.Ah, all men are the same.The tears that I've been holding back since earlier were finally falling like raindrops.I wonder, when he said "I love you" earlier, is it true that he loves me? Or was he just saying it?He told me that Jannah and him meant nothing, but what about now? When he told me that Jannah isn't his type, what now?My lips trembled as I remembered everything, like a flashback replaying in my mind.Where did I go wrong? I said I wouldn't let my
"Hey, it's almost sunrise, it's time to say good bye, Kyle," I said with a smile while looking at the sky."No, we can't stop here, Savannah," I looked back at him, my face contorted because of what he said."The decision is mine, Kyle.""No! I'm part of this relationship, Savannah! You can't just decide everything you want!" His voice rose, so I paused. He held my hand.I angrily pulled my hand away from his grip. "I don't like to be in a relationship with someone who already cheated on me! I'm not stupid enough to choose you again!""Is that how you really see me, Savannah?""Yes! And that won't change no matter how many times you apologize because all I feel is pain from you!" My voice trembled with anger as I said that."I'm begging you, Kyle. Let me go because I'm not a toy! I'm not a toy, damn it!" I shout at him. "Let's stop this! I don't want you anymore!"He bit his lower lip and ran his hand through his hair. "Fuck, Why is it so hard for me to explain it to you?! Why can't y
As I returned to my office, I started sketching again to keep myself from getting bored. Later on, my face twisted upon seeing Olivia enter my office."Did you see your ex, Ameyst? He looks so yummy, right?" She teased, so I raised my middle finger in front of her."Oh, you saw your ex too? He looks yummy, huh?" I mimicked her, and she gave me an irritated look, which made me laugh out loud."Seems like I used the wrong word, hmm," I pretended to ponder. "Is he really your ex?" I laughed when she rolled her eyes. "See, you're sensitive.""You idiot," she retorted, making me laugh. Eventually, I was interrupted when Kevin texted me.Attorney Kevin:Let's meet up at Café Star. I have something important to discuss with you.Although puzzled, I replied to his text.'Maybe it's important,' I thought to myself and continued talking to Olivia."Let's eat now. Phoebe texted me that we should all eat together," she said with a laugh. "Damn, maybe our CEO and the others put a spell on us.""Yo
She tilted her head in confusion which makes her look cute. She's so cute!I was the only one who's clapping my hands, it's embarrassing but I would do it for her every time.I really do love her.Lahat ay napatingin sa akin, at pati siya ay tumingin sa akin nang may kahihiyan. She did look at me like that, but for me to be seen like that is already a big thing."Okay, dear student. Please take your seat and stop clapping like that," wika ng host kaya tumaas ang kilay ko at napanguso bago umupo."Bago ka lang ba dito, tol? Terror 'yang teacher na 'yan," wika ng katabi kong student. "Ayaw niyan ng may pumapalakpak, para saan pa ang event kung gano'n? Pati sa klase nambabagsak, dahil 'yung student may ginawa lang na ayaw niya."I tilted my head. "What is his name?""Sir Mike Santiago," sagot niya kaya tumango tango ako. Bumalik na ulit ang tingin niya sa stage kaya ako kinuha ko ang telepono ko at pinindot ang pangalan niya at sinend kay Penguin.For sure papahirapan nito ang Baby ko.N
An expensive pen keeps tapping to the wooden table that he has, he was getting bored. His silver gray eyes are looking boredly at the huge monitor in front of him, he can't find her.He can't find the one he loves.Lots of cameras footage around the three huge monitors, he keeps looking around, every single footage of the monitor but still he can't find her."Where the hell did she go?" he said. He quickly undoes his necktie, it was making him uncomfortable at the moment. He let go of the ball pen and stood up from the chair and went nearly to the monitor. "Should I add another satellite?" he suggested to his self. "It should be around three-o'clock in the afternoon, she should already be left from her school."And it's already five-o'clock in the afternoon. He clenched his fist and so his jaw, he quickly shut his eyes, getting worried about what happened to her. As he open his eyes, he continuesly look at the monitor before getting his glass.Iinom na dapat siya ngunit napatigil na
"Viviana, are you ready? The stage is all yours," one of the staff said. Her smile grew wider, she loves the fact that the stage is only for her. Everyone will watch and love her, continuesly. Her light hazel eyes followed the staff, she's smirking. She quickly put the red mask on her eyes. She was wearing a robe.As she walked to the stage, she could only smirk throughout it. The familiarity of joy and excitement is seeping through her veins. She's ready every night to be the one and only woman they would love and pay for. As the spotlight came forward to her and everyone's eyes were fixated on her. She starts undressing the robe and everyone gasps off the perfect body she has, everyone looks at her with amusement that she keeps seeing every night.She's wearing red lingerie, perfect for her name. Perfect for her code name.Everyone in the crowds is wearing their own mask to hide their identity. Not only are famous people here but also those people who have power and wealth.She's
It's been ten years since all the ruckus happened to all of us. I found it cute seeing my daughter happily dancing in my office.My bipolar disorder is finally under control after years of therapy. I've finally become happy again.Her name is Harmony Ivory Scott.I put Ivory in her second name and put Harmony in her first name. She likes singing and dancing. Meggay visited me yesterday, and Kuro is with her.Kuro is like her mother before, even though Harmony was scared of him, but after some moments, they finally became friends because Meggay's personality towards me became Kuro too.I happily smiled at how I saw Harmony's happy face; it was enough for me. I hated the fact that I shot Meggay without knowing it before.But finally, we're back to how we were before because Meggay is still the same even though we broke her before.The last two pieces of my puzzle are Meggay and Harmony, who completed the whole me."Come here, love," I said and motioned Harmony to me. She happily walked
His eyes were now dry, and he was looking at me with those sincere eyes that made me fall in love with him before.The rain stopped pouring as if it was done screaming. I wiped the tears from my eyes."What happened back then, Caelum?" I asked as I rubbed my eyes."My Mom had an accident that day, so I hurried there, but I didn't mean to leave you clueless. When I saw the missed calls I had, I called you at that time, but there was no response. I was so scared because you weren't answering any calls," he said, giving me a lopsided smile as he ruffled my hair."What about the penthouse?""Ah, that time. I was looking for a new condo to move into, so I brought all my belongings there, and only the one I was selling was left. It was supposed to be a surprise for you because I wanted to live with you," he said sweetly, taking off his coat to put it on my shoulder."What about the marriage?" I asked again, rubbing the back of my head."Ah, it was planned, but I canceled it and told them th
"Soon, my ass!" I snapped at him and rolled my eyes.He chuckled and smirked afterward, making me want to punch him in the face."I don't want it," I whispered to him, making him stop.I looked outside at the glass wall, seeing the darkness swallowing the light. Outside seemed so peaceful with the small number of people out there.I wanted to inhale the wind again to find peace once more. I looked at him and called the waiter to get the bill, and I paid for it."I hope you enjoyed our dinner," I said as I grabbed my bag to leave the restaurant."Phoebe, wait!" he said, so I looked at him.Luckily, there were few people on the street. He looked at me with a lost face, inhaling a large amount of oxygen as he looked at me.The rain suddenly poured down, making me look at him with a serious face and a small smile."Why are you pretending to be happy? Why are you treating me nicely?" he snapped as he grabbed my arms.I sighed and tried to let go of my hand, but he insisted and held on so t
"She's my sister, Phoebe, not my lover," Caelum said with a pleading tone. But I didn't bother to look at him again, just leaving him there dumbfounded.I went back to the office once more, trying to shake off everything he said to me. Why was he explaining this to me? I don't even care.I bit my lower lip as I thought, "Is he playing with me again?"I rolled my eyes and submitted the rest of the reports to Meggay. Opening my phone with too many thoughts, I saw a new piece of news. I clicked the link, and the video started playing."We're back with another update on this case. We suspect the family may have had another Daughter, as evidenced by clothes and a picture frame with another child. They are four in total, indicating another child or perhaps one who is old enough to work. We found no fingerprints of other people, and the picture frame with the other child's face is damaged. We suspect this person may be responsible for the entire family's deaths—"My jaw dropped at the news.
I woke up in the familiar room; I suppose I am in my condo right now. But why am I here? I raised my eyebrows when I saw the sun rising once again.I looked around and saw my friends scattered in my condo. Olivia was sleeping on the couch, Savannah was sleeping on the floor with just one pillow, and Meggay was beside me.They were sleeping peacefully, as if they were just sleeping now. Why are they sleeping here?I rubbed my eyes and looked around. My head was full of questions regarding what happened tonight. I went to the kitchen to drink some milk and started making breakfast for them.I cooked bacon because Savannah loves it, fried rice with egg because Olivia loves it, and I also made tuna mayonnaise with egg and put it in a sandwich because Meggay loves it.I made coffee too because they love it."Oh, you're already awake," I heard Meggay's voice as I heard the sound of a chair at the counter. I smiled at her and placed the sandwich in front of her."Good morning, Meggay," I gre
Trigger warning. (This chapter might trigger you, so stop if you need to.)I covered my mouth as panic took over my whole body. Meggay stopped me from killing that woman, waking me up from the darkness she had shown me.I squeezed my eyes shut and opened them again. I breathed deeply to calm myself."Meggay, I already took care of the DNA that led to her bones," TJ said, showing her a plastic container."How long until you find out who the person is?" Meggay asked coldly. TJ paused, thinking about how long it would take."Maybe tonight I can do it. I'm sure you'll still be at headquarters later," TJ said, and Meggay nodded in response.Meggay leaned closer to me and held my hand, smiling."You did your best out there," she said, giving me a soft smile. I kept looking at her."Your foster Mother is in the interrogation room. I asked Savannah and Olivia to bring Diana and your father along with her," Meggay said, but I couldn’t even respond. I looked at her and held her hand as tightly
