[NARRATOR]Before Gael could finish what he was saying, Drake appeared. "Drake?!" Jaz snorted, confused to see her husband freely. Drake's face was bland, gasping only her name, "Jaz..." "Now we're complete. Your mom and I. Your husband and my grandson. We should call it a celebration." Gael was elated, like announcing something special. Jaz's mind is still puzzled about what's going on. As she recollected, Drake was arrested the other day. Her son verified it, thinking his father was taken to get treatment in the hospital. The maids began to move to settle the table. One by one, bringing out the food.Jaz was still standing, dumbfounded by everything. Meanwhile, she got to talk to her mother alone, as Gael and her husband are unaware. After eating, Jaiz went to his room to play with some stuff his grandpa had shown. "Mom, where have you been?" Her mom blinked and seemed hesitant to say something, "It's better not to know anything." "Don't keep me in the dark. I can manage wha
[DRAKE RAVEN]The sun hasn't risen yet, but I'm already awake. Jaz and I slept in the same room because Gael was there. Of course, I was on the sofa, and she was on the bed. I peeked at my wife's beautiful face. We have been married for long years, but her heart has never been mine. I'm also tired of hoping, waiting, that she will soon learn to love me, especially after everything I did to her. I recalled the plan about destroying Anika. If I think of it, that will be my chance to erase her. Perhaps if she's gone, Jaz will finally see me, but I'm not an evil one to kill another innocent person, especially since she was the only one Jaz loved. Even if it breaks me, maybe it's time for me to stop. I need to let Jaz go. I also don't want my son to hate me when the day comes he realizes his father was a murderer. I will not add to the sins I have committed."Hey! You're up." "Yeah. We have to go now." She just nodded. I went out first and then found a place where I could think. What
[ANIKA HODGENS] I was devastated after talking to Jaz. How can she throw everything away that fast and efficiently? I know she's just afraid something terrible might happen to me, but that doesn't bother me at all. Worstly what made me crazy was not to see her ever again. I let her go, but that didn't mean it would be the end of us. Despite my heartache, I still need to do my work. While checking some files, my phone suddenly rang. I look at it without interest. It was just a number that made me frown, so I ignored it. Again it rings from time to time which irritates me, so I finally take the call. "We have to talk in private.." He said. From his voice, it seems urgent. What amused me more was its familiarity. "And who are you?" I asked in confusion. "It doesn't matter. If you love Jaz, you will show up at the address I'm going to send you." Before I could speak, he hung up already. [DRAKE RAVEN] Gwen didn't help me sort things out about Anika. Perhaps she doesn't want to inv
[JAZ AMANDA] I was packing our things when I returned home after depositing the borrowed money to Anika and planned to talk to Drake. If staying away from her would make her safe, then be it. And then my phone rang. "Jaz. It's me, Gwen. Hear me out before you cut me off. I think Anika is in danger." I stopped what I was doing, freeing my mind to listen to the person on the line. "What are you babbling?" I asked with a frown. "Drake asked for my help, but I refused. You better talk to him before it's too late. Your father is asking him to do horrendous things again.." Tension hit me as I perceived what Gwen was implying. "Do you know where Drake is right now?!" "Maybe on his way to meet Anika," I screamed inside as I was shaking outside. I cut the line, then called Anika, but she was not picking up.I think of a place where they would possibly meet. If Drake is about to do something awful, it must be private, or no one knows it exists. Next, I called Drake while my feet wandere
[DRAKE RAVEN]I was scared. Cowardly, I chose to run. I had no intention of killing Anika, but Jaz came. A masked man suddenly shot her. I'm sure Gael had the order. Maybe he knew that I was having second thoughts. My life is now at risk. I need to escape, hide not from the authorities but from Gael's people. By now, I have lost his trust. [JAZ AMANDA] Drake has been missing since the incident. He just bailed out from the case I filed against him. If he takes too long in his run, his situation will get worse. While Dad is behind bars again, he can sneak out anytime he wants. Is Dad that powerful? What kind of person and father did I know and love in my entire life?I went to see Mom and asked for help to talk to Dad and stop all this. "He won't stop. You're wrong about Gael. And-and he's not your real father.." Dumbfounded by what I heard. "What? What are you talking about, Mom?!" She cried and did not speak for a moment. I got puzzled, waiting for her to continue. "Gael is not
[EZRA] When I saw Dolce, all the pain of the past came back. My feet retreated, and I chose to walk away. I don't know, but it looks like she got me and identified my voice. What does she know about love if she chooses someone like Gael? Obviously, because he is rich and can give her everything she wants. As for me, I had a problem with what to eat every day back then. Looking back, I gasped. How can she replace me so fast? I was gone for a moment, and she instantly had a new one.She will regret what she makes me feel. It will cause twice the pain I endured."How was it?!" Anastasia appeared on my back. "Nothing," I responded shortly. "What do you mean nothing? You didn't take Jaz?" "Her mother showed up. What do you want me to do?!" "So what? Are you being soft now because you saw your ex?!" "That's not it, Anastasia. People are around. I lost control." "Don't make an excuse, Ezra. Don't tell me you still have feelings for Dolce.""Shut the fuck off your mouth, Anastasia!"
In my fear for Jaz's safety, I hired people to watch over her 24 hours. "Anika, what is this?!" That's what she yelled at me after answering my call. "Which one?!" I pretend not to know anything. "Anika, I don't need so many bodyguards! They follow me! My son and I everywhere we go! Tell them to stop!" "It's not possible, Jaz. It's for your protection." I heard her cuss, and I found it cute. I miss her voice so much, even though I was talking to her just yesterday. "Have you and Jaiz had dinner already?" I changed the topic, so her annoyance with my bodyguard idea subsided. "Yeah. How about you? Are you eating right? You need to eat a lot to recover quickly from your injury.. Knowing you're so picky on food." I couldn't stop smiling. "You still care.." "Of course I am. I never stop, Anika.""I miss your smell, Jaz.." She remains silent. "I miss your lips..I miss your touch... I miss everything about you, Jaz.." Still, she shut her mouth off. Till a few seconds," I miss you t
[NARRATOR]Gael had eyes outside of prison, so Ezra's return reached him. Even the sudden disappearance of Drake did not spare him.He was furious, knowing Jaz might know that Ezra was her real Dad. He uses his connection to be able to talk to one of his people. "I don't want any dirt surrounding my family, so clean those up." Ordering the guy who visited him. The guy wearing a black suit just nodded and then took off after the short chat. When Gael came back inside, a random guy stabbed him in the stomach, which made him fall to the ground. The guy abruptly walks out, leaving Gael simmered with his own blood, flouring the floor. Gael was brought to the hospital in critical condition, fighting for his life. Jaz was so incensed that she wanted to meet Ezra. For her, only Gael is her father. As for Ezra, after what he learned from Dolce, he was agitated to confirm if Jaz was indeed his daughter, making a way to get Jaz's DNA to match him. When the result came out, he wanted to se

"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
