"Tell me Zren, just what the heck did you do?" Vinley asked as they walked away from the lady's room. "I didn't do anything, okay? The moment I stepped out of the CR, that Weidon suddenly gripped my arms, and I don't know why," Zren explained to Vinley. It was the freaking truth, all this time it was Weidon who was bothering her. She didn't even know what she had done to catch that pervert's attention. "Next time, if you ever meet Weidon again, please stay away from him. He's not the type of person you can afford to offend." It was him who kept bothering me! Zren wanted to say those words however she choose not to. It was better to keep the matter just by herself. "Fine, fine, I will," Zren agreed and went back to their designated seat with Vinley.———— It was already five in the afternoon when the ribbon-cutting ceremony had ended. "D*mn I thought that ribbon-cutting ceremony will only consist of cutting the ribbon. I don't know that it will take hours before cutting the freak
Zren and the twin were now obediently sitting on the large sofa, while Yashi who was furiously mad, was standing infront of them. "Do you guys know what time it is?" Yashi pointed to the wall clock on the top of the tv. The three of them followed Yashi's fingers, when they saw the clock, they all nodded in unison. "It was already one in the morning! Instead of sleeping, you guys are here, watching a useless horror movie!" The trio all lowered their heads, avoiding Yashi's furious face. "And you Zren!" Zren who was sitting between Zhen and Xhyne subconsciously shuddered when she heard her name. She nervously bit her lower lip while waiting for Yashi's scolding. "You are their mother, you should be the one who is responsible for them, but instead you are even the one who's leading them astray!" Zren didn't know what to reply so she just continued to stay silent. "It's already one am, let's just talk later, you guys should sleep and rest first. We will continue later when you gu
Since Zren finished her work on time, she went home early. And texted Yashi that she would be the one who would pick up Zhen and Xhyne at their school. Sometimes when Zren was not available, it was Yashi who would be going to pick them up. However, since she didn't need to work overtime today, Zren had time to fetch her sons at school. Zren parked her car in the designated space, she checked the time and it was just four pm while the end of the twin's classes was four-thirty in the afternoon. Zren got out of her car and waited for the twin to go out. After leaving work, she changed into her casual clothes, a t-shirt, jogging pants, and white sneakers. Her galaxy blue wavy hair was tied into a half bun. Zren played with her cellphone while waiting for her sons when she felt that someone was looking at her. It was not just a single person but many. Zren put her phone back in her jogging pants' pocket and looked around. Sure enough, people who passed by kept glancing in her direct
Zren was already in the waiting area for almost two hours and finally, it was time to board the ship. She qued up in a line and soon it was her turn. "May I see your boarding pass Ma'am?" The man wearing a formal uniform asked. Zren looked at the man, expression full of confusion, "Boarding pass? What's that?" "Ma'am, it was the piece of printed paper, as a ticket, that was given to you so you are allowed to board the ship," The man professionally explained, he didn't even reveal even a single bit of impatient. Zren awkwardly stared at the man, she had no idea what he was talking about. "What if I don't have one?" "Ma'am you must have one so you will be able to board the ship." Zren clenched her jaw in irritation. Before she left earlier, Zren asked the old man if she need to do, or had to carry anything with her before boarding the ship. However, the old man just said that she didn't need to. If Zren remembered correctly, Louzvent said that she only need three things so she
Zren who was forced to delay her anger for a whole week decided just to sleep with it, so even for the time being she could forget it. Maybe because of extreme frustration or what, that even in sleep, Zren was cursing Louzvent. When she woke up it was already past lunch, her stomach was already grumbling due to hunger so she lazily got up from the bed and tidied herself. Zren who was still dazed stood up from the bed and slowly walked towards the balcony while rubbing her eyes. She couldn't help but yawn as she open the deep blue curtains blocking the lights of the room. The moment Zren drew the curtains aside, a vast stretch of blue ocean revealed itself. The ocean's surface was calm and still, glitter-like images sparkled along with the small waves that were caused by the reflection of the dazzlingly bright sun. While the azure sky was clear and clean without even a single presence of the fluffy white clouds.Zren stared at the scenery infront of her, just as she was about to
"Gotcha!" Zren stared at Weidon with wide eyes. She didn't expect that he would suddenly appear out of nowhere. Wasn't he just following her earlier, how come he was suddenly infront of her? Zren was confused! She was about to take a step back to run away however, Weidon was still holding her arms, refusing to let go. Zren tried her best to struggle but what she received was excruciating pain. "It hurts!" Zren screamed in agony as she twitched in pain, the arm that Weidon was holding was on the exact same spot where her bruise was located. Weidon thought that she was just putting on an act however when he saw the medical patch pasted on her skin, his expression slowly changed. After a few moments, he let her go. "D*mn that hurts!" Zren threw a sharp glare at Weidon, her face was serious as hell. "Just what the heck do you want?" she asked furiously, eyebrows knitted into a deep frown. Weidon had already recovered his normal serious demeanor, he didn't answer the other person'
Zren was now standing in front of Weidon, expression full of reluctance.To be honest, she didn't want to admit defeat in the first place, however, she had been circling here and there for already half an hour. Her legs were about to give in and she was already freaking exhausted so she had no choice but to accept the other person's condition. "Are we going to talk or not?" Zren impatiently asked. The man who was infront of her, Weidon, who just got what he wanted couldn't help but pursed his lips to suppress the smile forming on his face. So before he gave in, he decided to turn his back away from her and silently started walking in a certain direction. "Do you think I didn't see that? Is talking to me enough to make you happy? Man, if you want to smile then smile. It's okay even if you want me to your happy pill now." Zren teasingly taunted one after another, even the corner of her lips was curved up in an evil smile. She then followed Weidon while pestering him, telling him to s
After realizing everything, putting the small clues together, and arranging from start up until now, Zren could finally understand everything. She now knew where Weidon's weirdness was coming from, and why he acted as if he knew so many things about her even though they were not true. It was all because of a freaking misunderstanding! Weidon mistakenly took her as Celestine, he thought that the person he was pestering right now was the one who left and betrayed him ten years ago. However, little did he know that he was chasing the wrong person. Zren recalled every single time where she and Weidon met each other. The first official encounter between the two of them was at the Casa de Verhillo where she was pinned onto the wall and was forcibly kissed by him, it was also the same time she lost her first kiss. That time, Zren couldn't understand why Weidon would randomly kiss someone, however, now she knew the reason. It was because he thought that she was Celestine! However,
Weidon forgot how to react at the moment, he sat on the bench with a back, not moving or even blinking his eyes. He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he couldn't bring himself to do it, as if an unknown force was stopping his body from doing anything.At that very moment, it seemed that his world was frozen; everything that surrounded him stopped moving, he couldn't hear or respond to anything, and his connection to the outside world was blocked.Weidon did not expect Zren to make such a sudden, bold move. He thought that she must at least do some preparation. However, it turned out that everything came in an entirely different direction.The direction that he least expected the most.To say such things as if they were just a piece of irrelevant information was truly unexpected; Weidon was not prepared at all.Snapped!Weidon was pulled back to the reality when he heard a crisp snap of fingers.He blinked a few times to regain his focus, only to see Zren's pale long finge
When they arrived at their destination, the four of them got out of the car."Seaside!" Xhyne exclaimed in excitement the moment he saw the crystal blue water from the distance.Without waiting for anything, he pulled his brother to the play on the seaside.Zhen didn't resist and let his twin pull him. Even though he did not say anything, he could not hide his shining eyes. They were bright and full of excitement."Do you guys often come here?" Weidon asked as he looked around. Based on the twins’ expressions it was not the first time they went to this place."Not that much. We only visit here if I have free time."Their surroundings were quiet and peaceful as there were no other people other aside from them.Weidon and Zren sat on a bench facing the sea.The sun started to settle turning the blue sky into a blazing fiery red sea of clouds. The water reflected the light from the ball of fire, making the water seem to shine like colorful glitter. The sea was calm and small waves crashe
Truth be told, Weidon and Vinley actually knew each other, however, they were not acquainted with each other or had any close interaction before.Their family just belonged to the same circle of business, so they met a few times now. However, as for why a young master of a pretty well-off family was here working as a secretary for someone, Weidon really didn't know.But that was not the main issue right now, because if something got out of Vinley's mouth regarding Zren and him, Weidon was sure that in no time, troubles would be able to find their way in knocking on his door.If Vinley spoke outside even a little bit, those people who were watching him would soon gonna know and try to dig deeper about this matter, and worst the twins would be going to be found.As much as possible Weidon didn't want to let the public know about Zhen and Xhyne's existence in the meantime without drafting a concrete plan about the matter. There were so many things that he needed to consider and one of th
Whenever Zren remembered Celestine, her bad temper would always act up and the blood in her vessels felt like they were boiling in extreme anger. Her patience was as fragile as a thin strand of hair that could easily be snapped into two.Her anger towards that woman was immeasurable to the point that whenever she heard the name of that person, her anger issue would skyrocket to the extreme, enough to reach a place outside the earth.Even though it had been a decade, there was no way Zren would forgive that woman.After everything she had gone through because of her made Zren impossibly forget those dark bitter memories. "Stop bringing that woman into the conversation, I don't have time to listen to anything bullshit about her." Zren turned her back to Weidon and continued to search in the bookshelves.After some time searching, she finally found what she was looking for.Out of the bunch of books displayed on the shelf, Zren pulled out a thick brown album and held it in her hand.Bec
The happenings flashed way too fast, and before Zren could react, Weidon's strong palm was already gripping her jaw and forced her to look him in the eyes.She really didn't expect that he would be going to react this way, it looked like his patience wasn't enough to endure everything for a long time just as she first expected.Zren knew that Weidon still highly doubted her identity. He thought that she was just making up another identity to fool him again.That was why earlier, Zren didn't act aggressively and chose the calm friendly approach. She acted dumb and playful when talking while purposely letting Weidon run around in circles.Weidon's main objective was to know the twins' identity, he wanted to know who their father was if it was him or what.However, since Zren set the momentum the moment she entered the room and didn't give Weidon a chance to speak what was in his mind, the topic diverted from the twin to her identity.Zren thought that Weidon was a hard bone to chew that
The call had ended for almost five minutes now, however, Zren was still gripping her phone tightly even though the person she was talking with had already hung up.Zren didn't need to ask herself for the second time because the moment she realized what the other person meant, she knew who it was.Of course, who could it be if not Weidon?But what amazed her was that Weidon's connection was so fast, he immediately obtained her personal contact information in less than a day, just a few hours to be exact.The way he called early in the morning even though the sun had yet to rise completely meant that Weidon was so eager to know everything.He had just seen the twin last night and now he was so impatient that he called first thing in the morning disturbing Zren's good night's sleep.Even though Zren's body still wanted to lie down and go back to sleep, her brain wasn't cooperating. No matter how she closed her eyes, her mind was still running, thinking about possible things that may happ
When they reached their home, Zren accompanied the twins until they fell asleep, making sure that they were okay.After she confirmed that the two were already fast asleep. She exited the room and went downstairs.The lights were already off so the whole house was dark and silent. Only the dim light from the moon that pierced through the cracks of the curtains slightly lit up the place.When she reached her destination which was the kitchen, Zren didn't turn on the lights, instead, she used her phone's flashlight as a guide.She then opened the fridge and took out several cans of flavored liquor and some chips from the cupboard.Placing the things she just gathered on the counter and sit beside them, Zren opened a can of beer and the packaging of the chips.In the depth of darkness, Zren stared at nothing, she just silently continued to eat and drink with an uncaring blank expression.Her mind was full of thoughts, both good and bad. They confused and fogged her clear mind making her
A child’s frustrated scream echoed throughout the hallway as two kids who exactly looked like each other exited the bathroom, running in Zren’s direction.One was wearing a grumpy expression, his eyebrows met with each other as he threw a sharp glare at the boy who exactly looked like him.“He kept interrupting me to pee! I hate him! He kept banging the door even though he knew I was inside!” Zhen aggrievedly told his mom about Xhyne’s annoying tricks. He buried his head in Zren's stomach to hide his teary eyes.“Hehe, s-so are you still able to pee?” Zren asked pretending that everything was fine while trying to look calm. Even though right now her heart was thumping like a wild boar inside her ribcage. She was freaking nervous!Meeting Weidon here was the last thing she ever expected!This damn destiny was really messing with her.Zren pulled the twins near her and squeezed their hands to comfort herself. She looked at Weidon whose expression was unexplainable.His eyes were glued t
Zren leaned on the back of her chair and put both of her feet on the table. She played with the pen on one hand and used the other to hold her phone.“So you guys finally know the truth. Finally.”“How did you know?” Weidon replied with a question.Zren smiled and looked outside where she could see the small-looking building of Weidon’s company from her point of view.“Why don’t you guess? I don’t think you need a clue, I know you’re smart enough to figure it out.”The moment Zren let go of those words, Weidon’s gaze automatically fell on the flash drive plugged into the laptop. He took it out and sure enough, there was a small device plastered on it.Saven was about to curse when Zren spoke again.“I already proved my identity. I am not Celestine so let’s stop this hatred thingy. I don’t know you, you don’t know me. End of discussion.”Zren was about to end the call when she remembered something.“Anyway, Elcid, let’s just meet some other time, I have something to do later.”She swor
