Two Hearts Victim of Lies Chapter 9
My sisters and I ended up talking that night, but we didn't end the facetime. We slept with our cameras on. The next day I was the first to wake up while my two sisters were still sleeping. When I came down from my room, I immediately caught up with Manang Gina in the living room. It was still a bit dark outside, so I was surprised when Manang Gina was there. "Oh, Z. It's too early; why are you awake?" she asked me immediately when she saw me. "Good morning, Manang. I woke up really early so I could prepare for my first day of school," I explained to her. She was cooking breakfast, and just the smell of what she was cooking was already appetizing. "Okay, okay. I haven't finished the breakfast I'm cooking yet. I'll make you some coffee first," she said, which I immediately stopped. "No, Manang. Just continue what you're doing. I'll take care of myself," I said, then smiled. She just nodded at me and didn't argue anymore, so I started making my coffee. "Has Johny come ho

Brandon and I got out of my car together when we got to school. I immediately noticed some students looking at us, but that's not new to me. "How about you just go with me? So they don't have to worry about me anymore because you're with me," I suggested to him. Brandon walked first, so I immediately followed him. "Please? If that's okay with you, since you said you won't do anything after class," I continued speaking. "Brandon!" Even though I hadn't completely convinced Brandon, I immediately heard a voice calling him not far from us. I saw his friends waiting for him at the building we're heading to. I even saw Karylle looking at me, and I remembered again the bad conversation she had with me yesterday. Brandon went straight to his friends, so I had no choice but to follow him because I didn't know where our room was. "Woah! You have new chicks, huh? But it looks familiar?" said a male friend of Brandon's. I looked at him with a frown and saw that he was also staring

Brandon and I went to the café. There are many students there who are buying their meals, and others are already eating. It's noisy there because the friends who eat there have their own worlds. I suddenly remembered Lexy because we ate lunch together at school during our break time. I still remember that I had the most friends in our university, but now I'm alone. There was a long line at the counter, and while I was standing there, I couldn't help but look back at the students who were looking at me. It's like I'm so different from them as they look at me. I don't even know if they are curious about who I am or if they are annoyed with me because I see some whispering there while looking at me. "Come with me so you don't have to stand in line for a long time." I looked at Brandon, who was by my side. I thought he had left a while ago and gone to his friends when we got here, but I didn't realize that he was still following me. I frowned at him, but he immediately started w

Brandon and I finished our last class without giving us any tasks. Just like before, I was only introduced to my other classmates and my professor. "You can't take back what you said, right? So hurry up! I'm excited to go there," I said to Brandon. He nodded and immediately put his things away before shrugging his shoulders. Some of our classmates are trying to talk to us, and all I can do is say hi and hello to them. It's not that I don't want to talk to them, but I'm just really excited to go to the mall. "Gosh! Why don't we just use your staff card in the elevator? My foot hurts!" I complain. We're walking down the building. Our room was only on the third floor, but because I was wearing heels, it was very difficult for me to go down. "I can't do that. Maybe some other students will see us and join us. Our professors will scold me," he explained. I held my breath and was exhausted. "Next time don't wear shoes like that. You can wear flat shoes or rubber shoes," he add

Brandon didn't disappoint me because he said the street foods we ate outside the mall were delicious. I ate a lot of food and could hardly breathe in too much satisfaction."Are you satisfied? Otherwise we can eat more at the restaurant you want," Brandon told me as we entered the mall.I quickly shook my head and held my stomach."No. I'm already full. That was so good!" I said as I walked."I told you. Next time I will bring you to the grill stores. You should try the food there," he said.I frowned and looked at him before asking."Grill store? What's that? What kind of food are they selling?" I asked him curiously."You'll see when we get there soon," he replied.I smiled and just nodded. So, he's planning to go out with me again, huh? I wanted to smile but I just stopped myself, because he might think I was giving it a meaning. It would be best for me to go out with him so I could explore this place, because I didn't know anywhere else to go.I didn't even ask Brandon anymore, an

A few more days passed, and I was with Brandon almost every day. Sometimes I join him with his friends, even though the girls often treat me.One week passed when I went to my new school, and I could tell that I was learning. I just can't help but miss my friends in Manila.It was a good thing that I met Brandon, because somehow, he's the reason why I never feel being left out. I don't feel like I'm alone in this place, even though my friends and sisters are always checking up on me.We are in the classroom now, and we're just waiting for the class to end. It's Friday, and I was thinking, Where should I spend my weekend? I went to the mall with Brandon a few times, and I didn't want to go there again. Brandon also told me how to save money, and I don't know why I'm guilty when I spend so much.I'm going to be alone tomorrow at home because Manang Gina couldn't come to my house. They also have to go for their work, and I know Brandon will go too.I feel sad when I don't get along with

"So, she cheated on you. She changed you so fast!" I said while shaking my head. "I can't blame her. She always wanted to have a better life, and that has come true because she met a good and rich man who can give everything to her," he continued. My heart felt like it was squeezed when I heard that from him. I don't know why I feel hurt for him. "Wealth doesn't tell if a man is good. I believe that everything happens for a reason. You will meet someone better than her!" I said, then grabbed his arm to comfort him. He laughed and just nodded at me. The conversation between the two of us was also interrupted because we had already arrived at Manang Gina's house."Hijah, go inside and have a snack before you go home. I will also send you something to eat for tomorrow," Manang Gina said. I wouldn't have stayed there any longer, but I was ashamed to say no to Manang Gina. Another thing is that I have nothing to do at home later but wait for time to go to the bar. "I'm actually going

"I'll drive," Brandon told me when we got out of the house. I nodded to him and reached for my car key. I've been quiet for a while now, and I'm a bit withdrawn because of how I feel. I just hope he doesn't notice that. He opened the car door for me before turning around to go to the driver's seat. I just fixed my seatbelt, and he started driving to the bar. Kaizer is right, because that bar is not far from our school. I now have a new place to pass the time when I'm not doing anything. "Now that you know where the bar is here, don't tell me you're going to have fun here every night," Brandon asked me when we arrived as if he read what's on my mind.I laughed while removing my seatbelt. "It depends on my mood, and it also depends on if I don't have tasks at school," I answered him and then shrugged my shoulders. I got out of the car first, then he followed me. "Is that your real habit? Is that really how you live in Manila?" he asked, and his voice was filled with wonder. I nod

I stopped eating and barely pushed my food away as I picked up my laptop again. "You haven't finished your food yet," he said. "I'm already full," I replied, even though I'd just lost my appetite. "You just ate a little bit. How can you be so satisfied?" he asked. Annoyed, I turned to face him. "I already told you that I'm not hungry. Next time, please don’t buy me lunch. I was hoping you wouldn't get me anything to eat either because I have a secretary for that. You should give all your attention to that girl who was talking to you earlier," I told him. His laughter filled the room, overwhelming me again. I knew I wouldn't be able to focus on my work if I stayed there with him, so I closed my laptop and placed it on the table. "Oh, why?" he asked. I ignored him and stood up from my chair. "Are you jealous?" he probed. I smirked, returning his question with one of my own. "Of course not. Why would I be?" I replied, then let out a sarcastic laugh. If he was trying to push

"Meeting adjourned. Thank you, everyone!" Daddy said. I could finally breathe freely; our meeting was over. I immediately turned to River, who had been teasing me earlier. "I know what you were doing," I said to him. He raised both hands as if to defend himself. "I just wanted to see his reaction. He's been staring at you since our meeting started," he explained. I stared at him, unsure of how to feel. I didn't know if that would affect Brandon significantly since we had no relationship. I left River in his chair as someone approached him to talk. All our companions said their goodbyes. Some were still chatting, while others began to leave. I noticed Brandon, in my peripheral vision, engaged in conversation with someone, so I took the opportunity to approach Daddy. "Z, are you surprised?" he asked with a smile. "Surprised by what?" I replied, my forehead wrinkling in confusion. Daddy laughed and pulled me in for a hug. "About Brandon. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but when you

I turned again to go inside, but he stopped me once more. "Did you really move on from me?" he asked. My heart raced at his question. I felt speechless, and to my surprise, I realized that I hadn’t really moved on from him. He stepped closer and grabbed my elbow as he stared into my eyes. I stopped when I felt the cold wall behind me. "Do you still love me, Z?" he asked. I could almost feel the warmth of his breath on my face, mingled with the scent of the wine he had been drinking. I just stared back at him, my heartbeat quickening; I feared he might hear it. "If you asked me that question, my answer is no because I never moved on from you. Even though I thought you were gone, my love for you didn’t fade. You remained in my heart because I promised myself that you would be the last woman I ever loved. Now that you are back in my life, my love for you has only grown," he said. I could see the seriousness in his eyes as he spoke those words. I swallowed hard when he gently

I shrugged again. "Why not? Your relationship has been going on for a long time, and it's been five years since-" I stopped when he suddenly interrupted me. "Z, George and I didn't get back together. In these five years, no one has intervened between us," he explained. I hesitated to respond, unsure of whether to believe him. What if he was just denying it? "But she said that you two got back together," I insisted, feeling a slight twitch in my forehead. "You called George crazy, so why do you believe what she says?" he challenged. I took a deep breath, feeling exhausted. It seemed George wasn't just crazy; she was also delusional. "So, let's get back to you. When are you planning to settle down?" he asked. I laughed. "Me? Why is that question coming my way?" I replied. "Because why not? The river looks good, and what about your boyfriend?" he said, then glanced away. I nearly spilled my drink at his comment. Why did he think River was my boyfriend? "Come on

Tosmiled and tightened my grip on her. I couldn't forgive myself for anything that went wrong with her because of me. We released our embrace just as the bedroom door opened. We turned and saw Brandon enter. “Papa!” Sky called out. Brandon walked toward us, handed me a bottle of water, and smiled at Sky. “How are you?” he asked. “I feel better, Papa. I’m sorry for eating ice cream. I really wanted to know what it tastes like,” she explained. I watched as she spoke to her dad, her friendly demeanor shining through. Brandon sat on the other side of Sky and gently caressed her head. "It's okay, baby. Just don’t do it again, alright?" he said. He handed her some fruit, which she eagerly began to eat. Brandon and I exchanged glances, and I smiled at him. “I met your boyfriend, and he’s waiting for you outside. You can go now; let me take care of Sky,” he said. I furrowed my brow slightly. His mention of a boyfriend puzzled me. Then I remembered River, and a smile almost

Just then, Brandon returned and said, "Girls, is it okay if I leave you two for a while? I have an urgent meeting to attend." We turned to him together. "Oh, yeah, sure. So, you won’t be with us for lunch?" I asked him. He nodded and shrugged his shoulders. "Yes, I guess," he replied. I took a deep breath and nodded at him again. Brandon turned to us and gently held Sky's head. "Behave, okay? Don’t stress out your mom," he told Sky. "Okay, Papa! I’ll behave!" Sky replied. Brandon nodded and looked at me again, prompting me to get up from my seat. "Don’t worry about us. I’m just going to agree with Margot. They are at the mall with her kids, and it’s time for Sky to meet her cousins," I explained. "Alright. Just call me if you need anything. I have to go for now," he said. After Brandon left, I immediately called Margot. She arranged for her driver to pick us up from the park, and thankfully, the mall wasn’t far away. Sky and I waited just a few minutes, and s

pourings right. I really look like Sky," I said, smiling as I looked at the pictures. I browsed through the images and videos, and I couldn't help but smile. "How did you know Mom told you that?" Bettina asked, chuckling softly. "Mom showed me a few times in my dreams. Maybe that's what happens when you're on the brink of death," I said with a shrug. I felt happy that I could still connect with my mother in that way. Even if it was just in dreams, it felt right. I tried to be strong until, three days later, I finally left the hospital. Since I woke up, I've been searching for Dad, but I haven't seen him. Bettina told me that Dad visited me every day while I was unconscious. I want to talk to him. I'm grateful for the second chance at life that I've been given, and I want to tell Dad that I have forgiven him. Holding onto hate will serve no purpose. Now that my daughter and I are together, I want to create a good, drama-free environment for her. All I want is a peaceful li

"I was just hurt because I felt like you hadn't lost your love for that woman—" I cut her off because I didn’t have time to listen to her excuses. "I came here to tell you that the Del Real family is continuing the case against you. So if you need help, it's not from me," I told her. "No! You’re going to help me, aren’t you? You’re not going to leave me here, right, Brandon?" she insisted. I shook my head and looked straight at her. "You traumatized my daughter, and you almost killed her. Do you really think I would help you again? If you hadn’t done that, you wouldn’t be in this position. Now, you need to face the consequences. You’ve made your own fate," I replied. I stood up from my seat and turned to leave. Even though I could hear her calling my name over and over, I ignored her. For five years, George and I had a strong friendship. She had always been there to help me with Sky, but when Z returned, her behavior changed. I didn’t understand her jealousy, especially s

I didn't even look at Brandon because I was in a hurry to go inside. I'm not afraid if they can catch me there because I can fight with them. Even though I heard Brandon repeatedly calling me, I ignored him. I turned around the whole house until I saw a ladder, which looked like the only way to climb there. I took a deep breath and prepared myself. The hallway above was spacious, and there were four rooms,, so I didn't know where George was, but I could hear the kid crying. A door opened, and I almost rushed to the side when I saw a man. I stood on the edge of the wall so he couldn't see me, and as he passed in front of me,, I kicked him with my foot. The man was shocked, and he immediately attacked me, but I fought back against him. His body is so big that his energy is more potent than mine. "Ahh!" I cried as he kicked me in the stomach. I could almost hold my stomach while I was in pain. Before I could recover, he kicked me again, causing me to fall down. I was al
