Yaslyn had never faced such a challenging decision before. Meeting Xoan's intense gaze, she took a deep breath, grasped Yerick's arm tightly, and declared, "We finished our chapter a long time ago, just as you said. Stop pursuing me now."

Not wanting Xoan to bring up their shared past, she quickly turned to Yerick, "You mentioned showing me something fascinating earlier. Let's go."

Yerick, caught off-guard by her sudden choice, glanced back at Xoan with a triumphant smirk. In this silent rivalry, he felt like the winner.

Xoan, however, wore a contemplative expression. He seemed puzzled by Yaslyn's decision. Nonetheless, she must have had her reason, especially when she made that choice in front of him. He decided he would inquire further later. For the time being, he took a deep breath and let go of his disappointment, even if the sight of Yaslyn arm-in-arm with Yerick was jarringly unpleasant.

Having escorted Yerick to a spot near the stage, out of Xoan's view, Yaslyn finally felt

    The following morning, as the clock struck 10 a.m., Yaslyn's deep sleep was interrupted by the persistent ring of her phone. She answered, her tone tinged with irritation, but she quickly became alert when she identified the voice on the other end."Ms. Lyon," Owen greeted, his tone dripping with politeness. "I was hoping to invite you to lunch today. I trust I haven't caught you at a bad time?"Yaslyn immediately sprang into action, quickly dressing and heading downstairs. As she descended the stairs in a sleek black off-shoulder dress, she caught Yerick's eye. His face betrayed no emotion."Dressed up so nicely. Are you meeting Owen?" he questioned."Yes. Today is the final day Mr. Zavala gave me to complete the task. If I don't, he might withhold the medicine," Yaslyn replied, doing a twirl and letting her dress flow elegantly around her. Having spent some time getting to know Zayn, she had an inkling of his character."Do you need me to accompany you?" Yerick, in a rare offer,

    A subtle change came over Owen's face. "I'm afraid that might not be possible," he responded.The item in question was a treasured heirloom, passed down through their family's generations. How could he simply hand it over to someone else?Yaslyn wore a disappointed expression and said, "If that's the case, then it's truly a pity.""Why do you want this curved sword so much?" Owen asked, genuine curiosity evident in his voice. To him, the curved sword was just an ordinary weapon, albeit with a long history. Why did she set her sights on his sword the moment she saw it?Realizing her oversight, Yaslyn covered her lips and sighed. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked for it in the first place. It just closely resembles an artifact that once belonged to my father, so..."Sensing her distress, Owen softened his tone. "Perhaps we can compromise. If you truly cherish it, I might be persuaded to give it to you. However, the box I keep it in is at my home. Would you be willing to accompany m

    Xoan was so headstrong that he refused to listen to anyone else's opinion.Yaslyn realized that arguing with him further was pointless. She sighed in resignation. "If you continue at this rate, Owen won't willingly part with that curved sword."Sensing he had been a bit too stern, Xoan's expression softened. He reached out and gently tousled Yaslyn's hair. "It's alright. Don't worry about this matter. Trust me, he'll hand over that curved sword to me."Yaslyn knew better than to take his word at face value. To Owen's father, the sword was more than just an heirloom; it was a golden ticket to elevate the Abraham family's status even further. Dejectedly, she murmured, "Guess that's our only option for now."Unknown to them, Owen, who had been confined upstairs by his father, watched their intimate exchange from above. A swell of jealousy and confusion bubbled up within him. However, as he grappled with these emotions, his phone buzzed.A glance at the unfamiliar number momentarily p

    Yaslyn's heart raced. She could hear pounding in her ears as her pursuers closed in. Fear clenched her chest, and she knew being caught would mean dire consequences.In her frantic escape, she tripped over a hidden stone and tumbled to the ground, grazing her knee badly."Just give up, darling. Makes things easier," Owen taunted, his laughter echoing eerily. Just as he was about to swoop down on her, an unseen force sent him sprawling."Who dares lay a hand on me?!" Owen exclaimed, feeling the painful impact of his fall. Looking up, he locked eyes with an angry Zyra. His face lit up with recognition. The young lady standing before him appeared even more innocent and lovely than Yaslyn, and he could sense a familiarity between them.Owen’s mind raced with newfound intentions, and he smirked sinisterly.Seeing Zyra before her left Yaslyn utterly speechless. How could Zyra be here of all places?!She could also make out Marcus' silhouette behind Zyra in the dim light."What is this

    Yaslyn took shallow breaths and observed as their car made a series of turns while memorizing the entire route. Soon, the car decelerated to a halt. Through half-closed eyes, she surveyed her surroundings, and when her gaze settled on the unmistakable facade of a building, she nearly gasped out loud in surprise.It was the Abraham family's residence!With a sudden jolt, the car door opened. Yaslyn pretended to be unconscious as two men pulled her out. The surroundings grew dimmer as they moved forward. Stealing a glance, she saw they were nearing a small door. Unknown to her, a team was ready and quickly ushered them inside without drawing any attention.Once inside, the dimly lit setting seemed unfamiliar, distinctly different from the grand hall she remembered. Where was Owen taking her? As she pondered, she was guided through an even narrower door—so inconspicuous that one might miss it if not looking closely. An ominous feeling welled up in her chest.To her dismay, she found h

    Owen studied Sadie with a piercing gaze, his face showing no obvious emotion. "Sadie," he began, "was everything you told me true?"Feigning shock, Sadie responded, "Absolutely! If I've spoken even the slightest untruth, let lightning strike me!"Owen's stern expression softened slightly. "What, then, is your connection with the two of them?"Sadie hesitated for a split second, uncertainty flickering in her eyes. However, with a determined lift of her chin, she proclaimed, "She despises me because she's smitten with Xoan, but Xoan's heart belongs only to me."Under normal circumstances, Yaslyn might have retorted with a sharp comment. However, Sadie was unwittingly playing into her hands at this moment. Yaslyn would be foolish to interrupt the spectacle before her.Upon hearing this, realization dawned on Owen. It appeared that things were as Yaslyn had described: Sadie was using him to get rid of Yaslyn.Although anger bubbled within him at this revelation, his face remained cal

    In the aftermath of her escape, Yaslyn sidestepped Owen's watchful gaze and headed to Zayn's shop.Zayn had been waiting anxiously, and his eyes flashed with disbelief when he saw her returning unscathed. "Never have I imagined," he murmured, "that you'd come back from Owen's grasp without so much as a scratch."Yaslyn, puzzled, asked, "How did you know he took me?"Zayn smirked and pointed to a surveillance camera overhead. "I watched the footage. He came here earlier today.""What about the curved sword?" Yaslyn's voice held a hint of urgency. Her primary concern was the potential loss of the weapon."You needn't worry about that," Zayn assured. "I've already stowed away the curved sword." He could not help but praise her, "You truly are clever, managing to acquire the sword in such a short time!"Was she that clever? Regardless, most of the credit went to Xoan.Seizing the opportunity with Zayn in a good mood, Yaslyn raised her request, "You promised me the medicinal ingredie

    The phone remained ominously silent with Sadie's haunting message displayed on the screen. The weight of the situation pressed heavily on Xoan.Noticing the abrupt change in his expression, Yaslyn inquired, "What happened?""Something happened to Sadie," he responded. Without any intention of hiding it from her, he promptly showed her the message on his phone.Yaslyn glanced briefly at the message, then turned to look out the window, her expression unfathomable. "I know.""You do?" His gaze was sharp, piercing through the shadows. In the recesses of his mind, he already suspected the culprit behind Sadie's plight.Clearing his throat, he chose not to comment further and started the car."What? You're not seriously going to rescue her, are you?" Yaslyn asked, a hint of sarcasm evident in her voice, thinking he was playing the hero."Trying to be heroic? No, I'm taking you to watch a show," he replied, accelerating swiftly.As the world whizzed by outside, Yaslyn found a sudden s

Come here for a second."Confused but compliant, Whitey walked over.In a swift move, Doniel took her hand. With a smug look at Matheo, he announced, "I'm taking Whitey off your hands for a bit."Matheo's expression turned steely.

    "Don't make that call!" Whitey screamed in a panic.A harsh slap struck her face as the ringleader yelled, "Shut it, woman! Who said you could talk?"The man, not satisfied after hitting her, gave in to his fury and kicked her. However, before he knew it, Matheo, who was standing nearby, had silently moved behind him. Suddenly, a sharp crack echoed as Matheo snapped the man's fingers with raw force.Matheo wrapped his arms around Whitey and quickly retreated."I can't take it! I'm done. I don't want anything else. Just do it!"The ringleader was seething with rage, the throbbing in his fingers ruining his will to fight Matheo.A few thugs had been itching for a reason to go after Matheo, and they wasted no time grabbing their weapons and launching an assault.Matheo fought back while dragging Whitey out of harm's way, but as the fight dragged on, he started losing ground.A vicious knife cut to Matheo's leg sent him tumbling down with a grunt."Matheo!"Whitey crouched beside

    Whitey shook her head. She did not have a clue, and even if she could guess, she did not know what to do about it."I was actually about to..."Before Matheo could finish, a deafening crash rang out.Startled, Whitey clapped her hands over her ears. Matheo wrapped her in his arms and glanced at the rear window.A random stone had shattered the car's back glass, leaving a gaping hole.The chaos erupted out of nowhere, catching both of them off guard. They had been deep in conversation when suddenly, a line of cars barricaded the road, trapping them.Matheo gently patted her head, a silent plea for calm.Whitey, frantic, nodded and fumbled for her phone, only to find it had mysteriously powered down."Stay put in the car and don't worry," Matheo said, handing her his phone."If things go south, call the cops, call anyone."He was ready to step out and face the unknown threat head-on.Whitey protested.

    Whitey was back to her usual routine—classes by day, radio station by night. However, she had a luxury she did not have previously. A private car service, ensuring her safety was never in question.Doniel's lips were sealed, not breathing a word of her injury to anyone. Except for Matheo, who had somehow stumbled upon the secret.That night, after her radio gig, Whitey stepped out expecting to see the familiar pink sports car tucked away in its usual spot. However, it was nowhere in sight.Moreover, he had not even bothered to call her. A knot of worry formed in her stomach. Did something happen to him?Whitey had called his number three, maybe four times, but got nothing.As she was wrestling with her thoughts, a familiar yet unsettling figure approached her.Matheo.Why was he there?Nobody knew about Whitey's job at the radio station except Doniel."Doniel's tied up today, so I'm your ride," Matheo said.Alarm bells rang in Whitey's head. How did Matheo know about Doniel

    The nurse nodded, gesturing for Doniel to give them some space.Once the bandaging was complete, Doniel returned with a treat—Whitey's beloved chocolate cupcakes."For you. Why didn't you say it hurt? He was so rough, and yet you asked me not to hold it against him."Whitey, her mouth full of frosting, mumbled a reply. "It's not that bad. Besides, you two are usually on good terms. Why fight over pointless things because of me?"Doniel tapped her head gently. "You're such a goof. What are you even talking about? Meaningless things?""I just thought that you two grew up together, so it'd be a shame to fall out over something so small, right?"Doniel huffed, "I never really cared for him, you know.""Okay, let's figure out a plan B. This mess means I might be stuck in the hospital longer, so I'm counting on you to smooth things over back home."Doniel looked at her with a teasing grin. "Relax, I've got this."Somehow, Whitey could always pick up a strange vibe from his smile, an

    Whitey was injured, and Doniel rushed her to the hospital that very night. It was just a slash on her arm, but Doniel was beside himself with worry.Watching Whitey grit her teeth through the stitching, Doniel's face turned a shade of stormy gray. "I'll track down that driver's family if it's the last thing I do!"Whitey winced in pain, but seeing Doniel's fury, she tried to soothe him. "Really, it's not so bad."Doniel looked at her bandaged arm. "Thirteen stitches, Whitey. If you're not in pain, I'm in pain for both of us."Whitey was always the center of attention—a princess who was doted on from the day she was born. She had never experienced an injury as severe as that. As Doniel reached for his phone to call Whitey's parents, she quickly stopped him with a hand gesture, wincing as she accidentally grazed her wound, "Please don't call them. They'll just scold me again if they find out.""I told you to let me drive you home. Now, look at what happened because you didn't li

If only she had accepted a ride from Doniel, none of that would happen. Regret washed over her as she scrambled for her phone, desperate to call for help.Sensing her panic, the driver floored it to a secluded spot and then abruptly stopped the car.Whitey's head snapped forward, hitting the seat, and as the world spun, her phone slipped from her grasp.

He and his family packed up and moved overseas, while the rest stayed back."Thanks for tuning into 'Moonlit Wishes,' your go-to spot for all things heartfelt.

    "So, just because you're into him, you decide to set me up? How does that make any sense?"Whitey could not help but find her logic almost laughable."Because I noticed he always had a soft spot for you, jealousy clouded my judgment, and that's why I..."Jade inhaled deeply, as if bracing herself for what was to come. "Well, you've uncovered the truth, so there's no point in hiding anything.

I'll find a new place to sit when we get back."Whitey let out a tired sigh. "There's something else you should know. He's got a girlfriend now."Jade's eyes widened in disbelief.
