EIGHT YEARS LATER>>> "Tell me! You want this alliance because of her... You desperately want to see her!! Be with her..." "Enough, Drake! I'm doing this for the company.. 8 years have passed, and I'm already married to you with a kid. Why do you still threaten?""You really don't know?! Seriously.. Jaz? I'm not dumb!! You didn't love me even once in those fucking hell years. You are talking shit.." Jaz's tears began to stream as she spoke, "You don't deserve it! And I believe you know why.. You betrayed me... You dashed to pieces my soul!! Your lucky you still have me by your side..." Calming herself as she walks out. Drake was left in the dark, facing his own sentence. AT DIVERSITY>>> "I doubted you would show.." Anika blurted out."My company needs this, Ms. Hodgens.." Jaz responded. "Well, well, well.. Jaz Amanda Raven.." ticking her tongue," what a surname.." Jaz followed her every move around the office. "Please, Anika..." "Call me by my surname.. We're not friends.." Ani
"Drake, where is our son?!" Jaz asked with deep concern when she spotted her husband in the dining area. "So early for breakfast, huh.." Drake responded with bitterness. "What is a kid supposed to do?! Play.." He added, standing from his stool to avoid Jaz with visible irritation on his actions. "You know he can't do that!!" Jaz wailed, holding him back on the arm. "Of course, He can. You're making him weak, Jaz.." Drake postscript when he turned to face her. "Fuck!" Jaz sighed, giving up, and then went to the back area of the house. "Oh, my God! Jaiz!!" Jaz panicked, running towards her son lying on the grass. "Hang on, baby... Drake!!!" Crying while calling her husband. The maid suddenly passed by. "My God, have mercy!" The maid burst out in fear. "Polly, call the ambulance! What are you looking for?? Hurry!" Jaz was trembling as her son was in her lap. "Y-yes, ma'am, sorry. " Walking fast, quivering as she grabbed the phone to dial. ### Jaiz had difficulty breathing an
[JAZ AMANDA RAVEN]I have no choice but to give in to what Anika wants to take place or do to me, but why? Does she have any leftover feelings for me? Or it's her way of playing with me and treating me like trash, even if it's heavy in my heart. What she's asking for is not because she still loves me. Whereas I never once stopped loving her. All those years, my heart was filled with nothing but Anika. Is she doing this to hurt me? Make me feel what she felt, then? I can't blame her for that. There is no forgiveness for what I did eight years ago. Anika turned on, pulling down the sleeve of my blouse. I was very nervous because we were just in her office. "Relax! No one's going to come in, and besides, this isn't the first time we're going to have sex, but it's just going to level up a bit.." I frowned at what she said. What will level up? What does she mean by that? Is there anything wilder in our past? We have almost done all the sex positions. She grinned slightly. " I can feel
"Where did you get that?" my sight looked down, touching the curse Anika left on my neck. "Are you not going to talk? You wouldn't like it if I got pissed off, Jaz..." "I don't know.." my mind is not functioning, and my mouth is terrible at lying. His eyes turned dark. I can sense a storm is on its way. "You don't... know??" his voice deepened. I know where it's going, so I prepare myself. A hard slap on my face.."You don't dare to make me dense, Jaz!! Who did that???" "I said.. I don't know.." crying, I stand on my words. Another hit from him. "Where are you taking me? Drake, please.." pleading, I was dragged up the stairs. I can feel his anger. Drake drove me to the bed as we reached the room. "I'm your husband, but you won't let me touch you!!!! How dare you cheat on me??" "I'm not! I swear in my grave, Drake.. It's not what you think.." "Yeah! It's what I feel, Jaz.. Behind my back, you are doing dirty secrets..."[NARRATOR] The night turned to hell for Jaz. The bruises s
"Andra in my office.. Now!" We both turn to Anika. "See you around, Jaz.." Andra left me with a smile. [ANIKA HODGENS] "So you and Gillian are now in separate ways?" Andra began with her interrogation. "It's her choice, Andra. Don't look at me like that.." "I thought you guys were going strong.. What happened?!" "She wants me to marry her.." I blurted out. "Then that's great news.. Are you not going there?" "You know that I can't .." "You can't? Or you won't? That's different, Anika. Is it because of that girl?" "Whose girl?" throwing her question too. I met Andra in Vancouver when I was coping up, giving my best shot to continue living after being tormented by untangling from Jaz. "Oh, come on. You know who I'm talking about. Do you still have feelings for her? But she's married?" "I know, Andra. There's no need to remind me.." While chatting with my best friend, I didn't expect my mom to show up. "WE NEED TO TALK.." "Hello there, Tita.." Andra greeted her but didn't bo
My mind was flying for an hour. Since last night, it's been distracted. Everything Mom said repeated in my head. I looked at my wristwatch near lunch. I thought of inviting Jaz to eat with me. This morning, I noticed something was different about her, but I just went by and let it go. All these years, she didn't really cheat on me. Why didn't she tell me? It would be better if we both faced the situation of those times. I felt a strange pain in my chest, thinking about how she coped with everything. Knowing I couldn't ask her out, I just ordered online. All her favorites, even the dessert she used to like the most. Almost one hour passed, and the food finally arrived. And after I placed it on the table, I called Jaz over the inter-con. She immediately followed. "Do you need something?" "Sit down," I said, but she didn't move. I noticed the sadness in her eyes. Is it just now? Or since the first day we met again? I just didn't see because the anger in my chest was overwhelmin
[ANIKA HODGENS]I secretly looked at her while we were eating. Jaz's beauty has not faded even after eight years. She doesn't look like she has a child. "Did you like it?" Our eyes met when she faced up. She immediately avoided it. I feel she still has feelings for me. I think she agreed in exchange for the money she borrowed, not only because she was desperate but because she still loved me. Am I wrong to think that way? Why would someone agree to have sex with an ex-lover just for money? But perhaps, it's not really about it but her beloved son. I inhaled, consuming the frustration I was holding. "Yeah, it's delicious." My thump moved by itself, wiping the sauce near her lips. I saw her swallow."Thanks for the lunch.." I smiled briefly. [JAZ AMANDA] Should I give back her money? Since Drake managed to handle the bills from the hospital. One thing I was avoiding but still running through my mind. There would be no reason anymore for us to have sex if I gave it back. "I guess
[ANIKA HODGENS] "Stop the car, Anika..." I ignored it and continued to drive. We have to talk.. We needed to talk.. "Hey! You can't just drag me. Take me wherever you want..." "Yes, I can, Jaz. I should have done this the latter.." "You need to stop, Anika. I love you..." "What did you just say?!" Peeking at her."I said I love you, but this has to end.. I should not have come to you and asked for help in the first place.." "Then I guess fate lead us together for a second chance we should not throw away.... Jaz... Something right thing to do.. We should not repeat the same mistake.." "This isn't good.. It's dangerous, Anika. My father.." She didn't finish her words. "What about him?" "Please! We have to be careful.. I don't want something terrible might happen to you. I can't take that.." "Is that why you chose to break my heart? Rather than figuring things out together?!" My voice cracked with every single word that came out to my lips. "My soul was shattered too, Anika. Do

"Tell me! Did that girl flirting with you?! When did it start?" Jaz shouted, totally angry for catching her wife talking with their son's professor at the school premises earlier in a suspicious way. "Baby, that is not what you think. Can you please calm down briefly? Let me explain what happened there.." "Then what should I think? Hmm? I saw with my two eyes. I'm going to kill that bastard! She's lingering on you.. and you let her. You didn't even move and try to go away.." "I was about to, Babe, but then you came. I was stunned by your killer eyes. I got stumbled, okay. I lose my mind.." "YOU LOSE YOUR MIND? THE HELL, WHY?! ARE YOU TURNED ON BECAUSE OF THAT STUPID TEACHER?!" Jaz was deadly, breaking down and beginning to create a commotion. Anika tried to calm her, hugging her tight and never losing her. "Hey, look at me. Listen, Babe. I will never cheat on you, you know that, don't you?!" Gradually, Jaz seems to cool down, looking thoughtfully through her eyes. "I know.
After Gwen and Gillian's wedding, their honeymoon followed immediately."For what is that for?!" Gillian outrageously yelled when she saw what Gwen was holding. "Why?! Don't you wanna try new things? It would be fun, though.." Gwen said teasingly as she played through her palm the thick dildo. "Fuck! Are you kidding me?! You won't put that... that thing on me! Don't you dare Gwen!" Agitated, Gillian jumped off the bed, distancing herself from her wife."Oh! Come on! Don't ruin the night, wifey..." Gwen uttered, letting out a low chuckle in mesmerize. "No, please, Gwen.. I'm not comfortable with that thing.. Take it away from me!" Gwen can't stop laughing out loud at how Gillian's face got frustrated. "Alright... Alright.. Whatever my Mia wants, then I'll go for it." Gwen said, then put it away and returned to Gillian, gently caressing her arm."So, can we start the night now?" Gwen said sweetly while her eyes were talking to Gillian. Gillian seems carried away without knowing what
I stood up, pacing, touching my forehead. I thought of a way to cool down her fever. The wet, cold cloth might help, so that's what I did next. Afterward, I sat on her side to place it in her temple. "I still matter.." Softly, Gwen uttered. I could hear it clearly enough to swirl me on, but I ignored it, or perhaps I didn't want to admit it. Of course, I worry. Anyone who is in my state will feel the same way. That is just a normal reaction, right? Even though my eyes were busy wiping her, I could still see how she looked at me from my peripheral view. Is it really possible to have a second chance? And if given, will it be worth it and won't hurt again? The day I ended everything between us, I admit, it broke me so much that I felt like dying and did not want to experience that pain again. It's so funny to think that it happened twice. But then, in the back of my mind, there is a pinch of happiness that Gwen at least dares to love me more than Anika, who never felt that
"ONE MONTH?! No! That can't be. I have a lot of loads left in Manila." "Hep. Zipped.." Gesturing to shut her mouth. "I already settled everything with Addie. She frees you from all the work, so you have no reason at all not to accept my offer. Besides, I won't leave you alone unless you agree to my condition." Gwen stepped closer to Gillian, which made her step back, avoiding the intensity that was about to grow. "What made you think I will let you do this? Huh?! I wanna go home, Gwen. Please.." "Fine! Go!" Gillian instantly heads out, shutting the door. But then the cold breeze hit her, turning her weak. Her arm abruptly embraced herself as she couldn't handle it. Disgusted, she went back inside, stepping flouncy. Gwen welcomed her with a mocking smile. "I thought you were going home? You miss me?" She says, crossing her arms. "Geez.. In your dream.. How can I go home? Where are your minions? They should take me back to where they captured me! Fix this, Gwen, or perish!" "I'm
"No! Don't! There is no reason to do that.." Gillian automatically opposes her. "Why not? Answer your doubts." Addie tried to convince her. Gillian halted, glaring furiously at Addie. What the hell is this girl trying to imply? "Fine, but let's just say Gwen is still single. What you gonna do?!" Gillian frowned again, frustrated now. "What am I supposed to do? Nothing." raising both her hands in annoyance. "What happened in the past stays in the past, Addie—end of discussion. We will not bring this up again. " Gillian could not hide her irritation. A few hours later, everyone was about to head home. Of course, the newlywed will spend their honeymoon somewhere else, so Gwen and Gillian are left alone. Outside the bar, Gillian is waiting for a taxi to go back to the hotel where she stays. Split second, a black Mustang stopped in front of her then abruptly pulled her in forcibly. She screamed out loud. She fought back badly, but then they succeeded in taking her away without anyon
"Where have you been, beshy? The ceremony is about to start." Eloise asked, slightly yelling when Gwen returned after roaming around the place.They are in the open field together with those who will tie the knots. Everyone is just wearing their best attire, so you won't recognize who the guests and witnesses are or who the couple will wed. "You won't believe who I bumped into," Gwen stated agitatedly. Eloise frowned in confusion. "Do you think Gillian is getting married? That's why she's here?" Eloise's eyes open widely, stunned by her presuming. "Oh! Shit! So they reach the end game." A sudden sigh came out to Gwen as Eloise got what she meant. "But anyway, it's been what? Three years, right? You are okay now, so that gloomy face of yours is forbidden. Today is my day. You have to be completely happy." Eloise tried to persuade her, acting as if she was still affected. # # # "Hey! Gillian, are you alright? What's wrong? You seem distracted. The wedding is about to start." "It
One month later, Jaz and Anika are about to get married. Jaz can't control her nervousness while sitting, facing the mirror, and staring at herself. She wore a strapless light pink wedding gown with embroidery on her bodice. Rhinestones and pearl beads were sewn on her dress. She also wore a two-tier veil with a matching crystal headpiece. Her hair was perfectly undone half-up and featured soft spirals beneath an intricate, knotty style. With her smooth latches falling behind the shoulders of her lace gown, the unfussy fashion kept any hair free from her face. Jaz was currently inside an air condition NIPA Hut. The simple yet elegant wedding is to be held at the beach, and everyone, especially Anika, is now waiting for the bride to come out and walk to the shore. With the help of other fellows, Jaz slowly got out. With the hem of her gown up, she walked softly. Tearfully, she went to the coast barefooted, where her bride was waiting restlessly. Mixed emotions filled her che
[GWEN STACY] "What must I do? I love you, Gillian. I can't be without you. I can't. I thought I could, but I can't, and I won't. I need you back, Mia. I need you in my life, please." I held and kissed her hands and tried to catch her gaze. She was speechless. I can't take it anymore, and my chest feels like it will explode. I knelt while still holding her hands. She shook her head, unable to speak. I don't know what's going through her mind. "Stand up, Gwen. Don't do this." I slowly got up while my eyes were still fixed on her, begging them to give me a chance. "I'm ready to wait. I'm ready to do everything to prove myself. I'll do everything to regain the trust that I broke. Please don't end everything." "Nothing you can do, Gwen. It's too late.." "What do you mean it's too late? It's never too late for a two-person who still loves." "Love isn't enough to stay in a relationship, Gwen. Always put that in mind. Just go now and forget me." I shook, disagreeing with all her
