  When Gin woke up, I was already done in the shower and preparing the dining table for the meal I prepared. He was checked-in in a VIP suite with a complete package, a bedroom, a small living room, bathroom, and a small kitchen with a dining table that was good for four-person.

  He stared at what I prepared in awe before he waked beside me and kissed my forehead. I smiled and urged him to sit so we can eat as long as the meal was still hot and newly cooked. Of course, I prepared a soup for him in case of a jet lag.

  "Ah, yea, jet lag plus this damn headache that makes everything seem to be spinning."

  "Do you want an Advil?" I asked.

  He shook his head, "No, I don't drink Advil. I have a prescribed med for headaches."

  Prescribed meds? But I didn't see any doctor's prescription in his satchel or perhaps I didn't notice? Maybe it was on a secret pocket or something, I'll try to look for it once I have another chan

    I was not in the mood for the rest of the day when I got home. I locked myself in my room, I didn't talk to anyone even when Heartly greeted me when I stepped into the house. My brother looked at me curiously and attempted to ask what happened but I gave him a dismissing wave which shut him up. The moment I got inside my room, I shut the door behind me and dive on my bed without minding that I haven't changed clothes yet. I closed my eyes, thinking of what happened; I walked out because he slept with another girl. Although I wasn't in the place to sulk and feel like this, it still hurt. The moment I heard him say he slept with another girl while we were away from each other, I felt my heart broke into pieces and what hurt me more was the fact that I wasn't in the place to feel like this because I wasn't his girlfriend in the first place. Even if he slept with hundreds of women while I was away, it's completely fine. That wouldn't mean he cheated or

    "He's not Dion." "And you believe that bastard? Zhanaia, how can you be so dumb?" My mouth parted in utter shock as soon as I heard Zhairo's retort. Wow, just wow. Looked like we were forgetting who's the older one here. I scoffed at his audacity to call me dumb when I'm his older sister. We were silent for a moment before he took a deep breath and apologized. "I'm sorry, okay? I just... I just don't want you to get hurt again. Zhanaia, that man looked exactly like Dion, even his eyes! It is very unlikely for a person to look exactly like someone." "Zhairo, I know," I mumbled. "I know but... Caroline and I made our researcher and aside from their faces and that they were both American, we couldn't pinpoint anything that will connect the two of them." "And Francis? Heartly told me you met Francis again, Dion's cousin. That doesn't connect them? Why on Earth would Francis, Dion's cousin be with Gin, the man w

    "Zhanaia, I want you to be my girlfriend. Please, give me another chance. Please, sweetheart." Should I give him another chance like he asked me to? If I do, what would happen? I knew that what I was feeling for him wasn't that pure, it was partly because he looked like Dion, my first love. Dionysus, the man I still love until now despite after all these years and despite the fact that he would never come back. No one knows what happened to him, all I know was that he needed to go back to the US to take a brain surgery. He promised to do his best to survive and come back to me, but he never did. I don't know if it was because he wasn't able to survive or he did survive but just chose not to come back and move on. I was aware that if it was the latter, he might be married and has his own family by now, while here I was, still dwelling with his broken promise. Gin Montero. Dionysus Dausel. Should I give you a

    "You sure you won't come with me?" I asked as I put on my earrings. I was in a video call with Gin while preparing for my agenda for today, I will attend the opening day of the art gallery where I saw a few of Dion's paintings. Since the day that I saw it, I was even more conflicted. Not just that, I also started to be easily irritated with everyone, especially Gin. If I wasn't in the mood today, I would probably be annoyed at his response. He shook his head, "I'm really sorry, sweetheart. I have a meeting with an investor today. I couldn't attend with you." Worry was written on his face, probably because he was thinking that I might be mad at him again and lash out, which I have been doing for the last few days. The thought of Dion might be indeed alive and just doesn't want to show himself to me was frustrating. I mean, why wouldn't he show himself? He had a promise, a promise of love that he should fulfill. I locked t

    "Francis?" "Zhanaia," My heart sank at the sight of him. And again, all the hopes in me shattered in an instant, making tears swell at the corner of my eyes. Some visitors who heard us because I raised my voice a while ago were looking at me with confusion as if I was someone who's up to make a scene. Well, I was making a scene. Seeing my state, he motioned his men to get me out of the place to which they immediately responded. He ordered them to bring me to the office as he apologized to the visitors. "We're sorry for that, it was just a simple misunderstanding with my men and Miss Camince. Because of too much excitement to host the opening of the gallery, I forgot about our meeting." He even chuckled to make the situation light and thankfully, the visitors bought his reasoning. They chuckled with him and eventually got back on their business, strolling through the gallery as Francis' men guided me to the

    Dion was alive. He didn't die. There was a possibility that he would come back. And if he did, what would happen? What would I do? Would I come back to him and leave Gin behind, forget everything that happened to us? "Now that you know that my cousin is alive, what will you do?" "What will happen to your relationship with Gin?" "If ever my cousin comes back, what would you do? Would you leave Gin and come back to Dion?" "Who would you choose?" "Your new lover or your first love?" A heavy sigh escaped from my lungs when Francis' words came back to me and repeated in my head again and again as if an old tape from my great, great, grand mother's old belongings. Now that he said that Dion was alive, everything just got complicated. I thought knowing and having an assurance that my first love was alive, I would be able to sleep peacefully at night, but I was wrong. Everything just got

    Sebastian Zhairo Camince's I took a deep breath as I massaged the back of my head. The weather was fine and it should lighten my mood, but then the day was hectic in the restaurant where I was working at. Waiters and waitresses were all out in the whole restaurant, serving food and taking orders from customers. Today wasn't a special day though, but this was normal every weekdays in the restaurant because it was just in the vicinity of the city where company buildings were located. Our customers were mostly office workers and there were also tourists but office workers were the majority of our customers. "Zhairo, clean table four and ask for the new customer's orders," my supervisor instructed me when he entered the staff room. I took a deep breath and tilted my head before fixing my black apron and headed outside. The busy restaurant came into my sight and I took a deep breath before stepping in table four's direction and star

    Sebastian Zhairo Camince's "I know the truth, motherfucker. It's time to end your game, fuck you for breaking my sister's heart and playing with her feelings, Dionysus." He didn't seem surprised when I said that, he was still calm as if I didn't just find out his secret. I don't know if it was because he was good at being calm despite any circumstance or because he would make another lie. And when he responded, I figured it was the latter, just as I thought. "Zhairo, I don't know what you are talking about—" "Don't call me Zhairo, bastard. We're not close." He rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Okay, fine. Then why the hell do you keep on insisting that I am Dion? Didn't Zhanaia tell you about their research that would prove my identity, hmm, Mr. Camince?" "They did, but I'm not that easy to fool, jerk. I am well aware that changing identity is a piece of cake with money, and you have that."

    Sweet Zhanaia Camince's"Mom, is dad coming home early tonight?"I looked at Louis, Gin and I's seven years old son who looked so adorable with his coconut-style hair and the bangs were on the side. I stared at him for a while as he put his elbow on my legs as a support for his weight while looking at me, waiting for my answer.Dom Louis C. Montero got his father's ocean blue eyes, the shape of his nose, and lips. He only got my brownish hair and some attitudes, but aside from that, he resembled Gin in everything. I remember my husband's face when he realized that Louis looked like him as he grow up, he was sulking by then."Argh, I actually wished to have an eldest daughter who would look like you, not the other way around. I don't want you to see anyone who looks like me,""Wow, Gin, are you jealous of our son?"I was bemused when he crossed his arms on his chest while pouting and that's when I realized he was indeed jealous of our son.

And remind her to take care and not to move around too much,""Will do that, Sir. Anything else?""Thank you but that's all. You may go back to your desk now."Karen, my secretary nodded as she stepped out of my office. When she was out of my sight, I took a deep breath and stared at the screen of my laptop where spreadsheet after spreadsheet and documents after documents were open. The spreadsheets were about financial reports while the documents were mostly proposals and contract drafts.As the years passed by, Gracious Express did good, and now we have hundreds of branches around the globe. It was all about hard work and of course, teamwork with Francis who was the co-CEO, and the other members of the company. My wife also contributed with this one,

    CHAPTER 52If someone would tell me years ago that the time will come when I will marry the man I met eight years ago despite the pain he inflicted in me, despite the cheatings, and lies that he has done, I would probably laugh it off. Who would marry a man who has done so much to you for eight years? Certainly no one.But then, here I was, standing in front of a huge mirror with a wide smile on my face. I looked at the woman in the mirror and she too was smiling from ear to ear. Of course, the woman in the mirror was my reflection, an ecstatic woman because she would finally marry the man that she loves.Looking at myself, I didn't know I'll be able to be this beautiful. It has just been a month since Dion— Gin proposed and now we're marrying. Because of their connections, we were able to arrange everything in just a month; including my wedding gown that was worth a million dollars.Dad and Dion insisted that my wedding gown should be designed by t

    Sweet Zhanaia Camince's It has been a couple of months now since I was discharged from the hospital and since everything happened. It has been a couple of months as well since I gave Gin the last chance and told him that my forgiveness wouldn't be that easy to get this time. When I was discharged from the hospital, he was left since he still needed to be monitored, but after three days, he was discharged as well, and then his courtship, well, according to him, started. My family didn't seem to be surprised with his actions, daily visits with flowers, and all that things that suitors usually brought. Though he was only giving me artificial flowers as I told him to do because when he gave me a fresh rose, I felt nausea. My pregnancy hormones didn't like its smell. I also noticed how he became close with Zhairo and I found out that Gin already explained everything to him and Zhairo was now giving him chance as well. They were back to their clos

    "You sure about this, Gin?" Francis asked when I told him my plan. I nodded without hesitation and sighed in resign, "If you say so," "Just do it, Francis, and then leave the rest to me. I want to make this right before proving to Zhanaia that I am now ready to start a new life with her and our baby. One where there were no secrets, one where we would talk about things first and won't decide hastily without talking to each other." "Woah, you are being too deep now. Is that really what babies do to men? Aside from love, babies are what make us more responsible and mature?" I shrugged, "Maybe, yes, because that's what happening to me now." "Then, I'll wait for the time when I will finally become a better person because of a baby." "You don't need to have a baby to be a better person though, you can do it now."

    Dionysus Dausel's/Gin Montero's Zhanaia was someone I never deserved to have, yet heaven gave her to me, and here I was, hurting her in more ways than one. Yet, despite everything that I did, she still gave me chances that I didn't deserve any more. But this time, with her tone, I knew she wasn't joking around. She was serious that this would be the last chance she was giving to fix everything about us. And I should start fixing my shits, it would be better as well to make sure that Ayana won't come in our way anymore. Though it was clear to her that there wasn't anything going on between us, it was clear to her that what happened at the sex party doesn't mean anything. But then, it would be better to make sure that she won't come and cause conflict with us anymore. I looked at Zhanaia who was now eating another set of waffles. Her family left food in the refrigerator for her, mostly sweets because that was what she was craving during her pr

    We were seated across each other for a while now. He was in the wheelchair while I was on the bed. No one talked, no one said even a single word, we were in pure silence, only our breathing could be heard. We were both waiting for each other to talk but looked like it would be me who's going to talk first as I couldn't bear the silence anymore. And with that, I took a deep breath and broke the silence. "First and foremost, how should I address you?" I asked which caught him off guard. He blinked, "H-huh?" "How should I call you? I met you eight years ago as Dion and now, I met you again as Gin. You have told me that your former identity has been dissolved, therefore you shouldn't be called Dion but why was dad still calling you like that?" Realization registered on his face as he got what I was trying to say. He took a deep breath and leaned back, tilting his head on the side as he looked at me. "People nowa

    Caroline's words then played in my head as if on an old tape. Gin was confined in the room next to mine because his Brain Hemorrhage attacked again. And then slowly, my mind came back to what he said when we talked about what happened to him during those eight years that we were away. He said that he didn't want to come back knowing he might be attacked with his illness and there was a possibility that he would leave me again because of it. That was why he decided not to contact me anymore but then Destiny played with him and we met again out of plan. Instantly, the pain and anger I was feeling melted again and I felt the urge to see him. I told my parents about it but they just looked at me, silent for a while then shook their heads. "What? But why? I want to see him, he's just in the room next to mine, please, let me see him." I pleaded. And it was Zhairo who spoke to tell me, "Visitors are not yet allowed, Zhanaia. He

    Sweet Zhanaia Camince's I woke up and instantly, the smell of medicine evaded my nostrils and the white, blank ceiling of the hospital room welcomed me. Then slowly, what happened before I lost consciousness came back to me and played in my head repeatedly. And the pain of seeing Dion enjoying the kiss of Ayana stabbed me again but it wasn't the one that made me jolt up and didn't mind the sudden spin of my surroundings. The scene when I saw blood dripping down from my thighs horrified me and I went cold in nervousness. I looked at my tummy as I put my hand on it and looked around to ask for help but no one was around. But it didn't take long before the hospital door swung open and dad entered. And immediately, I stood up, didn't minding the dextrose on my arm. "Dad, help me! My baby!" I exclaimed in pure nervousness.
