Chapter 63 - Feel Alive Again
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I arrived in front of our house's gate with a disheveled appearance. I can see my reflection from the mirrors on the street before, and now I regret crying like that.
If my parents are home, they'll make a big deal out of this and try to force me to go homeschooling again like before. I don't want that. I took a deep breath as I opened our gate and went inside.
Before getting inside the door, I notice the orange-ray coming from the sun already ready to set. It's almost dismissal. Would everything be fine there? It will be since I'm not there anymore. No one could ruin everything there anymore. I opened the door and went inside, hoping that no one was home.
"Ion? Is that you?"
Hearing Alina's voice made my eyes brimmed with tears. No. I can't let Alina see me like this. She'll worry about me again. I swallowed the lump in my throat. "Yeah, it's m

“Shall we go now?” I nodded as Lean opened the van’s door, making me go inside. Kim wasn’t available for today since it was too sudden and she had other works to do. Along with being my manager, she also works for Lean’s fashion shop, which is also DIAMOND, where they sell their newest designs of clothing, shoes, and accessories. “You can take a nap if you want. I’ll wake you up as soon as we arrive.” I accepted that and closed my eyes to take some rest. My work hasn’t even started yet, but why do I feel exhausted? As if something’s pulling my energy out of my body. I shouldn’t feel like this; Lia should become everyone’s ray of sunshine, and that won’t happen if I look tired. Lia’s the reason some other people are still holding on with their life, and I belong to those people. “Ion— I mean Lia, we’re here.” I opened my eye

After getting my makeup done and my hair styled with how Gina wanted, she told me that I should go to the meeting room first, where they’ll be waiting. Gina went out first while I got my things; I stopped seeing my reflection in the mirror. It’s Lia. I smiled to see Lia smile as I grew closer to the mirror, and I touched my reflection; it’s cold. “Pretty.” This is how things should be. I need this to stay. All I need to do for that to happen is to be Lia, and everything will be fine. “Let’s do this.” I went out of the room holding my purse, and I could feel the cold air coming from the air-conditioner touching my bare skin. It’s colder outside my dressing room, and it made me stop from where I was standing. I closed my eyes for a moment to let the cold air get into me and let my body get used to it. After doing that, I took a deep breath as I made my way towards the me

I froze after hearing Gina say that.Lost my glow? Was I glowing before?"It's not my position to say this, but if you're having trouble about something, we're all here to listen. Since you're our precious Lia, after all."Gina pats my shoulder, but instead of feeling comfort, I feel jealous. They're all here for Lia, but not for me. This all belongs to Lia and not mine.It added such dirty feelings inside me, and it couldn't beat the emptiness still.I'm already looking at Lia's reflection, but I can't seem to feel happy about it. She's the only one I need, but why am I acting as if I'm tired of hiding from her shadow? And this thing called jealousy, I shouldn't feel such ugly feelings even though I know that I'm already ugly.There's no way I would feel like that if I'm still the same person I was before; that's why I can't understand this. Am I not in the
Trapped in Lace Chapter 67 - It's Not a Date
It’s a man with ebony black hair wearing black sunglasses. He’s also wearing black pants, a black turtleneck shirt, and a gray cardigan with black leather shoes. When he removed his sunglasses, I saw his deep black eyes looking straight at me. Who is this guy? Is he Jasper’s new chauffeur? But why is he so fashionable? “It’s me.” That guy pulled me into the car before saying that. What does he mean with ‘me’? “It’s me, Jasper. I dyed my hair black, although it’s not permanent and could be washed off. I also wore some black contacts. Isn’t it awesome? You almost didn’t recognize me, didn’t you?” Jasper said proudly while having this grin on his face. He does all of that just for this hangout? “I actually have a natural blonde hair, but I dyed it brown since it caused too much attention before when I first got here in this country.” That reminds me

Jasper and I arrived at the restaurant he talked about, and there were no other people except for the two of us. I don't know if this is a coincidence, but I feel like Jasper must have rented the whole restaurant, and now he's acting as if he doesn't know anything about it. "Isn't this great? There are no people other than us. You can remove that cap and face mask too." He said as a staff guided us to their VIP room. Why bother renting the whole restaurant if they already have VIP rooms? "What do you like to eat? I love their pasta here, but they also have dishes with rice." I couldn't care less, and I couldn't answer either. Since I was feeling nauseous before, I don't think I could eat that well. There are tons of mirrors surrounding us. I wonder why Jasper decided to use this room instead of the normal one? "I'll get what you suggest." Jasper'

I could feel my legs wobbling as I struggled to stand up on the ice rink. How come figure skaters could stand here as if it’s nothing? What kind of sorcery is that? “I-I don’t think I can do this,” I said while holding onto Jasper’s hands. Jasper chuckled and said, “It’s fine. I’m here to help you.” He moved back, slowly pulling me into the middle of the rink. “You’ll love this.” He said, but all I could feel was my wobbly legs and the anxiety that made me think like I’m going to fall if Jasper let go of me. “Don’t leave me,” I said without even thinking, which made Jasper stop from letting go of my hand. “I-I’m sorry for saying something like that, but this is scary.” I tried to cover up what I’d said, but Jasper grabbed my hand tight as if reassuring me that he wouldn’t let go. I looked up at his face and saw him smile. “I won’t let go until you can stand on your own,” Jasper said as he continue
Trapped in Lace Chapter 70.1 - Ezra's POV
Ezra’s POVI yawned as I opened my eyes. Another day with another responsibility with the committee. "Let's get into it." I got out of bed and started the day with my usual morning routine. However, I am still wondering if Alexis got home fine yesterday. He didn't want me to accompany him, but I was too worried about him. He didn't look fine yesterday."Zee!"I heard Eyen's voice outside calling for me. "Yeah, I'm coming." As soon as I finished taking a bath, I went outside, where Eyen was waiting patiently. Not that patient because he's already screaming my name. I ruffled his hair and held his hand; we both made our way downstairs. "Where's mom?"Eyen shrugged. Right, he's my younger brother, he's now 6 years old, but he would still knock on my room's door and would want to eat breakfast with me. "Did you have a good night's sleep?" He nodded with my question as he aske

"That's what I've wanted to say. Don't start avoiding me now just because you know I like you." Irish waved me goodbye and left after saying what she wanted to say. What? Leaving me just like that?How should I absorb all those things she said? It's too shocking! How could Irish like me? She doesn't like men before, I think? So how come she ended up falling for me? I don't remember doing something that could make her like me.No, wait! Let's stop thinking about that for now, and let's send Alexis another message. He wouldn't hate it, wouldn't he? I hope it won't come out clingy or annoying for him. It's just messages. I took a deep breath before typing again on my phone. What should I say? Ugh! I'm just going to write what I feel!Hey, this is Ezra again. I'm worried about you. I hope you're doing fine. You can talk to me about it, okay? ^-^Hmm, should I remove the emoji thing

Alexis's POV I woke after I felt light touching my face, which made me grunt. I wanted to get up, but I felt Ezra's hand wrapped around my waist. "This guy, really," I muttered as I tried to get his arm off, but before I could even get up properly, I felt my waist hurting like it was about to break off. In the end, I couldn't get up, which led me to feel annoyed. "You should really learn how to control yourself." Ezra chuckled as he snuggled on my back. "My bad. It's been so long since we last did it, and I just came back from our competition in Los Angeles." He said those could be used as a proper excuse for fucking me until I passed out. "Hey, you're not mad, are you?" He asked as he made me turn around, but I groaned due to pain as soon as my back touched the bed. All I could
Trapped in Lace Chapter 133 - Royce and Mitch
Mitch's POV"Mitch, would you like to go out with me?"I was dumbfounded after hearing Dwight ask me that after our practice. "What are you on? Are you drunk?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow at him, which caused him to laugh. The other members that were cleaning after training were looking at us."I'm not drunk. I really like you, even though I liked girls before." Dwight had this sheepish expression on his face as he smiled at me widely. "I really want to—" He was cut off after Royce stood in between us.Joaquin followed as he wrapped his arm around Dwight's shoulder. "What are you doing, dude? You already know that Royce's head-over-

I was so nervous when I sat on the soft and comfy bed. "May I kiss you again?" Ezra kept asking for permission, and I kept nodding to allow him to do whatever it was he wanted.I want to kiss him too.We were dismissed too early today that it wasn't even sunset yet. Ezra was staring at my lips as if he needed to quench his thirst, and it gave me shivers down my spine. He placed his hand on my waist as he pulled me closer to him. The moment his lips touched mine felt like I was electrified, even though it wasn't the first time it happened.I don't know if I'm doing great to match his pace, and as we continued kissing, all I could hear were the lewd sounds, making me so flustered to the point of pushing Ezra away.

I stayed the whole night in Mitch's place, and Andre was the one that delivered me some clothes and other necessities I needed. It seems like our mother's still going on with her rampage, and I wouldn't be able to come home yet.I actually like this better. I'm always uncomfortable being at home anyway. Today, Mitch apologized to everyone and coach Alfred for ditching practice yesterday without any excuse. Though we thought he'd be receiving severe punishment, coach Alfred let it go since he knew how sincere Mitch was with his apology. "So that's what happened." Mitch and I looked at each other while waiting for Jade's reaction after explaining what happened yesterday. "Wow, a lot happened

I looked up, and my eyes widened after seeing Royce. "What are you doing?" Why is he still here? I thought he had gone home already before me? I was too flustered that I immediately stood up. "Are you waiting for the captain?" Royce asked, which made me shake my head many times."Please don't tell anyone that you saw me here."Royce tilted his head as he looked down, and I quickly tried to hide my shoes that I couldn't wear properly. "I won't ask anything else, but if you're planning to stay out here, why don't you just go to your best friend's house?"I instantly thanked Royce for that and bid him goodbye. I was too distracted by my problem that I forgot I had Mitch.I just hope he will accept me.&nb

"What are you talking about, Tiffany?"Tiffany giggled after being asked like that by Ezra. "Are you playing dumb, captain? Wasn't it you who said about Alexis being your boyfriend— And what was it? Mitch's not interested in girls?" Her eyes twinkled, and I didn't know what to say. "Then why is he hanging around with that third-year girl?" She placed her hand on her chin and looked at us."What do you want?"Tiffany looked at Ezra with uninterested eyes. "Nothing much. Just stay out of my way, and I'll do the same." She said as she looked at me with a smile. "You wouldn't want your mom to learn about this, wouldn't you?" I was frozen in shock after she mentioned that. Why is she talking about my mom?

The training camp ended without any problem, although my body was in pain after the training with the Golden Bell warriors. Right, they've been training with us side by side. Though I wonder why when we're the teams that always compete right before the championship, where the only one between us could get into that said championship.It didn't matter since we should already know what we needed to work on after playing against our greatest rivals. Even though we were going to play against each other soon, the players on the other team didn't look so bad, in fact, they even helped us learn lots of things. They're too kind, or maybe they're content because they think we wouldn't be able to win against them?However, during that training camp, I noticed that Liliana received even more bullying than before. I don't kn

Alexis’s POV“That’s all for today. We won’t be having rigorous training for now since we’ll be having the training camp soon.” Those were coach Alfred’s last words before dismissing us.“Lexi! Let’s go home together.” Mitch called up to me. That reminds me, I still haven’t told him about my relationship with Ezra. “You wouldn’t be coming home with Ezra again today, wouldn’t you? Honestly, what’s going on with you two?”“Actually—““Ah! Lili! What happened to you?”

Jade's POVI heard a knock on my door while drawing on my tablet. "Go away." It's probably Gelo again. I don't have the time to deal with him right now, but instead of following what I said, Angelo opened the door to my room which made me look in his direction. "What the hell? I said go away. I'm busy."My younger brother, Angelo, didn't listen again, and instead, he sat on my bed. Purposively pissing me off.This goddamn brat."I thought you weren't going to join any clubs? Why are you joining the boys' volleyball club as a manager? Ion was there too; did you know that?" This brat really kept on getting on my nerves the past few days.
