"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
"I'm home," I said as I entered our house, but I was still thinking about what Kevin said to me earlier."Oh, dear, you're here," I heard Mama say as she came out of the kitchen. Saito was seated peacefully on the couch while talking to my father.A few years ago, when Dad and Mom got married, Dad had been searching for Mom ever since. He loves Mom, and Mom loves him.So, they got back together, huh?I hate love. I don't want to experience that again. The feeling of my heart shrinking, and not being able to breathe properly."Good evening, Dad, Saito," I said as I sat on the sofa. Mama brought me coffee, so I happily drank it."How was your day, sis?" Saito asked."You must be tired today," Dad said, but I just nodded."Your graduation is coming up soon, Saito. You'll be working soon! You're getting old!" I teased him."I'm really telling him now about you and him as the successor of my company," my dad said."Just give me money. I don't need your company. I'm working at the Foreister
"What are you trying to do now?" he asked seriously. My mouth closed as I saw his serious expression."N-nothing.""Then why are you here, huh?" His eyes sharpened as he said that, making me gulp."Visiting someone.""Or visiting my real father?" He said, causing me to stop."No. You can ask the police there if I really visit your real father," I replied, bumping into him before leaving. I held my chest as I got into my car."He's damn scary," I whispered while holding my chest. When I calmed down, I started the car to go back to the company.When I arrived, I contacted Kevin to tell him I had done it and he should take care of the rest.But I didn't expect a Woman to answer! And she suddenly hung up, so I just sent her a message.When I sat down in the office, I held my temples because of what I saw earlier! Kyle with a serious face! What the fuck!'He's handsome right?' I thought to myself as I scratched my head.Because I had no customers, I was bored just watching. Meggay always h
"I waited for you for so long, Savannah," he said while looking directly at me. "So give me another chance.""I guess it wouldn't be bad if you give him another chance to prove that he won't do it again."I remembered what Meggay said to me earlier. That didn't leave my mind because I knew she was right, and I was just turning a blind eye. I glanced at him again and saw him bowing his head."Hey," I smiled. He looked at me."You must go through the real process of courting. This would be your last chance with me, Kyle," I told him. I have to, I have to do this to forgive everything, to make my heart okay again. I saw his face light up and his smile suppressed. He looks so happy right now."Someone just clicked in my mind, that's why," I said and turned away from him."Thank you," I heard him say as I walked away.I left the building to go to the coffee shop. Once there, I immediately ordered an iced americano and looked for a seat.My face twisted in disgust when I saw Angelo with tha
"Dad agreed to help me," I said as I sat down. We were all here to make a plan for me."Manipulating, huh?" Calvin said while looking at the laptop."The Pink Organization is moving again, but I think the former boss isn't with them," Meggay said, looking directly at me."So someone else is running the Pink Organization?" Phoebe smirked as she asked. Pink organization name is really is"Basically, yes. But for now, we should make a plan for Savannah," Meggay said seriously."So you want him to crawl?" Olivia smirked."Then make him like a dog.""Shut up, Olivia," I snapped at her."Since your Dad is going to take Angelo's major stockholders, do you think that's enough to bring Angelo down?" Meggay asked, making me laugh before putting down the chess piece I was holding."That's where Saito comes in," I said, playing with the chess piece. "He will take down what his Father offers him." I smirked."It's still not enough, Savannah," Meggay said flatly, making me pout."Why?" I asked."Sa
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
