"Or is it because every time you saw me, you saw Thomas who left you and went to another woman?" I shouted at them. Her eyebrows raised, and I smirked.I know because every time she sees me, it will only remind him of Thomas who left her. And that pains me because she should have love and take care of me, but she didn't."Hey baby, calm down," Kyle whispered to me."That's why you hate me! And now that Thomas is back, you start caring about me. What a joke!""Savannah, watch your language!" Thomas said with a glare, but I glared back to shut him up. How dare him to shout at me?!"Stop talking, Thomas.""When you asked me to go to Meggay's house and live with them, it broke my heart!" I laughed sarcastically. "While Saito got to stay with you, I had a hard time dealing with everything!" I shouted.She looked shocked. She couldn't speak, just stared at me. I had a hard time, I am not used in living with them. I have to do things alone because she never did that for me."I had to swallow
Everything is fine now. Jannah is behind bars, and Angelo has been arrested for abuse and drug use. His wife is also in jail for being an accomplice to someone's death.I actually feel relieved by that. Everything went well with my life and I couldn't ask for more. I'm happy for everything, my dark past is already in the past. With the help of Meggay and everyone, my life turns out to be the most beautiful than I was before. Thank god. Just kidding, that was ten years ago.Meggay is alive and has Ken by her side. I’m relieved that she chose the right person. But if he wasn’t the right person, our Trick Organization would have killed him!The Fru Stars Organization ended up collaborating with the Trick Organization, which Meggan and Meggay lead.This Mafia organization is so much powerful than any Mafia organization in the whole Asia. Meggay as our mastermind is really something else.It's really scary to make her our enemy, so make it our accomplice instead. "You're spacing out aga
Seven years later...I wondered for the entire seven years if I was ever good enough for you.... I thought that maybe if I had been better, he wouldn't have left me.But he abandoned me."Hey, Phoebe," Olivia called out to me irritably, making me pouted. She kept unloading her worries on me when I was already busy on my own.Do I look like her therapist for that?"I told you I don't know what to do about your client problems," I said softly, and she just grunted at my response. "So just ask Minx." I pouted while playing with the pen in my hands."Minx is busy! I don't want to disturb her work because she has more to do than we do!" she yelled at me, scratching the back of her neck. She stopped when Meggay's secretary entered."Architect Avery and Architect Ivory, you are requested in the conference room," she announced and quickly left. I looked at Olivia, who seemed equally puzzled."What the hell is this about?!" she snapped as she left the office, and I followed her. I rolled my ey
If this is how my life is going to be, I don't want it anymore. I hate to live like this.I squinted as I sat in the apartment. Everything starts to flashback once again, I could feel my breathe cease because of it. My body starts to tremble on its own.'You should just die, Phoebe!''You're worthless!''Your sibling is better!'"Stop it!" I shouted, feeling anxious."Hey, what happened, Ivory?" I jumped when Savannah called out to me. My eyes are widened while looking at her."N-nothing! I'm just going to buy bread for us! I'll go ahead!" I shouted, panicked. Oh no..."You should calm down first. It won't help you."I nodded. "Take care!" I smiled and left the house. I clutched my wallet tightly as I walked to the bakery.'Steal some money from your rich foreigner friend, anyway! She's's rich! Do it so you'll be useful!'I sighed heavily because the money I had in my wallet for buying bread was saved from the money Meggay gave me.She smiled. "Don't worry, Ivory. I can help you with
I touched my cheek and immediately felt weak from what she did. I'm used to it, but why does it still hurt? Why does she have to favor Diana when we're both her children?"If you don't want to get hurt, give your motorcycle to Diana!" she shouted at me, so I just nodded and let go of the key for her to take. I can't do anything anyways."Good," she smirked. "Here, dear," she handed the key to Diana, so I just bowed my head."I-I'll just get my clothes so I can go home," I said softly."Hurry up! I don't want to see your face here!" she shouted, so I nodded and went straight to my storage room.It was filled with trash and their old belongings. I had nothing else to do but to get my luggage and put my old clothes inside. After that, I just left without saying goodbye. Due to lack of money, I walked home.I don't want to take the money from the illegal things we did. Those money are just from those. While walking, tears started streaming down my face, which I quickly wiped away."I'm so
She ignored us the whole day! Meggay ignored us because we lied to her. I don't know what to do because of that. I don't like getting ignored by her. I kinda wish she would talk to us again but we can't keep lying to her."Fuck you!" I shouted while kicking the guys who kidnapped Meggay! I even spat at him out of anger. How could he do this to Meggay?! I hate him so much! How dare him!After that, we took Meggay to the hospital. But she still hasn't woken up! She's covered in bruises because of what that asshole did!"This is what I warned might happen to Meggay if she didn't know we were in the Mafia World!" Olivia shouted while touching her temple. Meggay is unconscious!"We don't have any choice here, Olivia," I heard Savannah sighed. "If we told her, she would just put us behind bars.""We don't even try it!" I said while crying. We didn't even try it, she would for sure understand us!"Aren't you scared of what she will do if she knew that we are fucking mafia?!" Savannah hissed.
I touched my cheeks because they're still red. A man kissed me in a gentle way. I'm already in Meggay's room but I'm still blushing. Two kisses happened earlier!How can I face him tomorrow?!I was startled when my phone vibrated, so I quickly grabbed it.Unknown person:This is Caelum. Sorry for being rude earlier, but I'm not sorry for kissing you."What?!" I touch my temple. "This man is unbelievable!""Who's the man?" I almost spat out because of Savannah's voice.I looked at her and saw she was holding food because it's already morning, and I still haven't slept!"Looks like our Phoebe has a man again, huh?" She smirked before handing me the food. She looks so proud. She also put down her bag, which contains my clothes and uniform."Patricio is here, he said he'll watch over Meggay for now," she sighed. "You go ahead and head to school.""B-but.." I said and looked at Meggay."No buts," she said and started using her phone. "She'll be mad at you if you don't go."I sighed and wen
"Thank you," I smiled at him when I sat. He kept looking at me with a small smile."Can I kiss you?" He asked so fast, so I glared."Kiss me here?! Behave!" I giggled. He just looked at me. He looks at me like I am his world."So what do you want for today, beautiful?" He smirked, making me bite my lower lip."I want some carbonara and a cola, please," I said while looking at the menu."Such a simple choice. Then for me, a steak and wine, please," he said to the waiter and suddenly looked at me. "What for dessert?"I just looked at him before realizing I needed to choose a dessert, so I quickly looked at the menu."I-iced shaved ice cream!" I said. He just smiled."Well, I don't like dessert, so probably just like that," he said to the waiter. The waiter nodded to us before leaving, so I looked at him."You don't like desserts?""Well, yeah. Too sweet for me," he smiled, so I thought about it."W-well, I like desserts! I like chocolate, ice cream, cake, some cookies, and many more!" I
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
