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
I sighed when I finally realized what I did. Did I fucking shout? I should be cute at least. I slumped out with those thoughts, I didn't control myself this time.Has my mood changed again?!I should be cute every time! He's too really annoying about what kind of relationship he wants and how possesive he can be at this point.I was about to start walking when someone held my arm and hugged me tightly. I froze because of that. I looked up at Caelum, and that's when my whole face started to heat up. Why was he hugging me right now?!"E-eh?!""I'm sorry for what I did earlier," he whispered, so I stared at him. Why was he sorry?"W-why?" I shyly said."It's supposed to be a date, but I ruined it, right?" I heard the fear in his voice as he said those words."I am the one who ruined it... I'm really sorry," I whispered to him. He kept brushing my hair. He released his hug on me and looked at me closely."Then can we have a date at least in Bohol?" He said, making me wide-eyed in shock."
"Can you tell me?" He said with a pleading voice, but I can't... I can't bring this back... Please stop. I don't want to talk about this one!"I want to help you, Phoebe," he said, making me confused."How can you help?" I snapped at him. He stared at me. Something had changed to my behaviour once again."I can help you with this, so tell me," he said softly, making me so damn confused about it. "Just tell me this... I can complete you. I will complete you," he added."You can't..." I whispered, putting aside my spoon."I can.""No, you can't," I said firmly, making him shiver."I will understand you... Phoebe, I can complete you," he said with a pleading voice.Complete? No, I wasn't a broken glass, so why would I need someone to complete me?!"You will never understand me!" I snapped again. He looked at me in wide shock."Do you think I'm fragile?! I'm not a broken glass! I don't need someone to complete me!" I shouted at him."You can help me?! What the heck is that?!" I shouted ag
