Chapter 76: Faith "Faith, I brought your favorites!" I greeted Faith warmly when I entered their house. Faith immediately approached me and kissed me on the cheeks, so sweet! "Mommy Kira, thank you! You're my favorite Mommy in the whole world!" she said and took the plastic bags from me then went straight to the dining table. Fern glared at me. "I told you, don't spoil Faith. She'll get used to always buying anything. I don't want her to grow spoiled." "It's just a small treat. I just want to treat her because we won and we're champions again, so why not I'll treat her? I don't have any money after all." I said and sat down on the couch. "So… you’re saying you’re rich already? You’re just going to spend your money on somebody just like that?" he asked, raising an eyebrow at me. "Excuse me? Faith is not just somebody. I love her and she brightens up my day! Look at me! ---" I smiled happily and winked at him, "I feel better when I see and talk to her. She's my happy pill." His
Chapter 77: Photoshoot "Finally! The audience will see your pictures too, Kira!" Lai said happily that I just shook my head. I heard the photographer laugh. "This is the first time that an all-girls team will be competing internationally, of course they will be amazed! Your fans will increase even more, especially the guys out there who have ideal girls that love e-games! " I secretly rolled my eyes and hopelessly smiled at what he said. I no longer know how I should react there. Should I be glad or… nervous? Today, the main Lit Fire agency staff coming from the headquarters in the US contacted all teams coming from different countries to conduct a photoshoot to be posted in all social media accounts. This is the first time that Sunny Snakes will be posted internationally. Since I wasn't allowed to compete often, though I felt sorry for them, so now it's really our first time to conduct this kind of photoshoot. We've been called as early as seven in the morning, sharp. That's why I
Chapter 78: Instructions "What? The event will take place in the Philippines? They will host the Lit Fire international competition?" I asked as if I couldn’t believe what I heard, then leaned back on my chair. "I really have a gut feeling that this will happen in the first place ..." Lai said weakly. Guan tapped me on the shoulder. "Calm yourself. The Philippines is too vast. You won't meet the people you hate right away." Myo nodded, "Yeah. The Philippines is a bit wide for the likes of them. Probably the others, they don't know you anymore because it's been ten years. Maybe they don't care about you either.” "Everything will be fine, Kira." Jin smiled at me. "Don't you think it's like a vacation for us? I heard some rumors that after the competition, we'll stay there first and eat with other players at the hotel. The Philippines is really welcoming when it comes to events like this." It's not welcoming for me. It felt like hell. If I ever go back there just to compete, I will
Chapter 79: Old friends "It's time for you to come here. We'll tell you more because you've been gone for a long time." I smiled. "It's close. Just a little patience. Let's have coffee?" I asked and showed him my lifted cup of coffee. "When did you love coffee? You haven't wanted that kind of drink since then." I heaved a sigh. "Well, I have to stay awake for several hours for game practices. I'm used to it." Xenon and I continued to talk through video calls while I ate bread and drank coffee. It was so early, five in the morning. Though, about thirty minutes before seven, I will go to the headquarters to practice. Our game practices need to really improve. It looks like my eyes will be drained again… but I used glasses while playing. Since that day, I talked to Prem, Boun, and Xenon, and that has become more frequent. They told me a lot about what happened on recognition day. They even mentioned that everyone was surprised that I didn't attend it even though I’m important in tha
Chapter 80: Hottie Chef I was really dumbfounded by what I heard. I didn't know what to say when Fern said that. I ended the call after that and even in the game practice sessions…. I couldn't focus. The idea that Sera bought our old house was running through my mind. But why? Shouldn't she just hate me and stop looking for things that will remind her of me? All of the memories are on that house and I knew she knew that as well. Then why did she buy it? For what? "Okay, let’s take a break first because Kira is already stunned by the absence." I was taken back to present and looked at manager Zee. "I'm sorry. I've been distracted lately." I also looked at Guan and the others who were just smiling. "I'm sorry, girls. I won't do it again." Guan tapped me, "That's okay. There are still many practice sessions." I stood up and looked at them again. "I’ll just go to the restroom." I just said and went straight to the restroom. I removed my glasses then looked at myself in the mirror. I
Chapter 81: Miguel Alfonso "Why is it that during break time, you don't even want to take a water break? You're pushing yourself so hard. You might just faint from excessive dehydration." "Lai, I'm okay. I can still do it." I replied while my eyes were closed. "Here's some water. Please have a drink at least one time. You're overworking yourself." I felt a cold touch on my cheek so I woke up. I saw that it was Manager Zee who stuck cold bottled water on my cheek so I was forced to take it. "Don't be too concerned about me. I'm so much okay ---" I stopped speaking when I felt like there was something in my stomach so I held it in my mouth. I got up immediately and went to the restroom. I felt like Manager Zee followed me there. I vomited only saliva. I felt like my stomach was drained and even myself. "You didn't even eat breakfast and lunch, that's why your stomach reacted like this ..." I heard Manager Zee say as she continued to stroke my back. "I had coffee." I said softly aft
Chapter 82: Nervous "Why does Faith love to watch that man's interviews?" I frowned at Fern and he shrugged it off. "The first time she saw your boyfriend was when we were at the restaurant ..." I glared at him. "Won't you stop telling that he’s my boyfriend? He's not my boyfriend!" I hissed. "He's still going to be your boyfriend. Look, he's single. Every interview ---" he didn’t continue what he was saying when I threw the couch pillow to him. "Stop it." I gritted my teeth and rolled my eyes. I was shocked when Faith approached me and smiled. "Mommy, why are you being so stingy over this handsome chef on the TV? He looks kind." I would have melted because of her smile but she really emphasized to me that the handsome chef is on TV. She keeps on complimenting him like he was an angel and continues to do things to please the audience. She didn't know that the man seemed to be wearing a mask because of the bad habit he was hiding. "What do you want, Faith? Chocolate? Cheesecake?
Chapter 83: Welcome Back I'm not in the mood. I was awake the whole trip and on headphones to entertain myself with the various songs I was listening to. I was very mad that I hadn't talked to anyone since earlier. We are inside the airplane now; it is our flight today going to the Philippines. There are many more things that Manager Zee told us to remind us once we arrived at the airport in the Philippines, but I didn't understand all of them because my brain seemed to be closed to all things. I might be stingy to the girls and some staff because I didn't talk to them properly but I don't care. What Secretary Martin said still puzzles me to this day. It was beyond my understanding. I thought that the plane crash was just an accident… turned out to be a planned one. I cried so hard again that night. I was no longer able to say goodbye to Miguel and go straight home. Clenching my fist, I thought of nothing else but to speed up my trip to the Philippines to be enlightened on everythin
PATRICIA “Patricia.” Patricia looked at her brother. "Hmmm?" "I’ve been calling you to come downstairs. You have a visitor." She stood up and released the book she was holding. "Who is it?" "Just come down and look. Stop asking." Kit rolled his eyes and left his younger sister. Patricia, on the other hand, was still smiling until she came downstairs to see who her visitor was. She opened the gate and smilingly looked at her alleged visitor. But that smile of hers suddenly disappeared when she saw that visitor. "It's been a while." Patricia was about to close the gate again when the man in front of her blocked his body to stop her. "I want my fiancé back. Please come back to me." Patricia's face immediately shifted when he said that and faked a smile. "You missed your chance, so now I want you to stay out of my life." ** KIT “Your sister looks adorable.” Kit looked at his friend, Yang. "Don't you know that every time you tell me that, I get disgusted?" "Bro, court Kit’s
"Mom, wake up." When I heard that little voice, I immediately rolled over and woke up. "Why baby? What's the matter?" I asked him tenderly but I was surprised when he rolled his eyes. "Mom, your hair looks like grass. Fix your face as well." That's all he said and left me. I just forced a smile because of what I heard from him. That kid really resembled Patry. I'm just really holding back from being annoyed every time. And I just heap my annoyance on Patry every time that kid treats me like that. His name is Kit Bautista, our 10 years old baby boy. He is still our baby even though he speaks like that. For heaven's sake! He's just a grade 4, an elementary student. Yet when he speaks, he sounded like Patry when he was so snobbish before. It's really his fault. I just fixed myself and went down. My husband and our second daughter appeared before my eyes. "Mom, you look so pretty." She approached me and even kissed my cheek. Sweet! Her name is Patricia Bautista. Our second born, 7

He is the culprit why Kira's parents died suddenly. It was a plane crash, a suicidal thing. I think he paid the pilot of that plane. Is he that desperate to get rid of Kira? I gritted my teeth in disgust. "You're already in jail but you still don't regret what you did. You have a daughter but that's what you did to Kira. What if all that happens to Olivia?” I faked a laugh. “Maybe you also intentionally killed your wife before, Olivia's Mom. Isn't it? " He immediately stood up and punched the glass that was blocking between us. "I LOVE MY EX-WIFE! I LOVE MY DAUGHTER! I DID EVERYTHING FOR THEM! OLIVIA JUST FORCED TO MAKE IMPRISONED BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU!" I stood up as well and brought my face close to his even though there was a glass blocking us. "I didn’t fo
WARNING before reading the 'Untold Chapters', you have to read from the start (if you haven't yet) to understand the flow of the story and why it has these additional chapters. ** Patry's POV Olivia De Guzman. I just looked at her and averted my eyes. I heard of her, she's the daughter of a famous senator. There were so many rumors about her and the news was fast. That senator donated half a million to the university for the construction of another building. In simple words, he's a big fish. So all the teachers as well as the director were kind to Olivia. But what amazed me was that she has been clinging to me a lot since she transferred. Annoying. With the dynamic number of students here, why me? "I transferred here because of you. I mentioned you to Dad and you know he's so powerful, don't you? When he finds out that you don't pay attention to me, he will do bad things just to bury you alive." That girl was insane. She insisted on talking to me no matter what I did to push her

But it looks like my friends will be my rivals as well. We were walking at the mall and accidentally, we met Kira at the Game House. I didn't know about them going to the mall together. My friends invited me, and it distracted my direction from her. Another point is that they seemed to be drawn to her. "Let's go somewhere." I walked ahead and walked away from Kira. I’ll be back, love. "Your sister's friend looked so cute." I heard Nucleus say so I clenched my fist. I heard Third laugh. "There are a lot of good ones in the Grade 11 batch. To be honest, there are more girls here in Arkinstein than in San Fuego High." "But Patry's sister's friend is way more cute." I stopped walking when I heard what
WARNING before reading the 'Untold Chapters', you have to read from the start (if you haven't yet) to understand the flow of the story and why it has these additional chapters. ** Patry's POV My pride is killing me slowly. "No. Don't you ever come here again." I sternly said and rushed back to my room. After I closed the door, I placed my hand on my chest .... it’s clenching and seems like I’m going to puke. I've been pushing her away out of our house. She doesn't deserve to be treated like this. I knew that all along but I still kept on saying bad words to her. I’m forcing her to leave and I’m making her feel that she does not belong to our family. I grabbed my camera and tried to take some pictures of her while going home. All of the pictures of her that I took were her looking so sad… because of me. I've been taking pictures of her since she was in Junior Highschool, I forgot to mention. It was worth it because I always see her face. Now that she’s now always going to our h
WARNING before reading the 'Untold Chapters', you have to read from the start (if you haven't yet) to understand the flow of the story and why it has these additional chapters. ** Patry's POV “MOM! HE PUSHED ME! HUHUHU!” I flashed a disgusted face as I saw the kid’s crying drama. I was only five and it’s my first time to try playing with the other kids in grandma and grandpa’s hacienda. I really thought that the kids here are so kind, welcoming, and playful. But then, this male kid who approached me tried to snatched my transformer figure. It was so expensive and I’m scared that it might get broken. Instead of pulling the figure with him, I pushed him instead. Is that bad? “Hijo, what happened? You pushed your playmate so hard that it caused him to have a bleeding knee.” Our grandma approached me but her voice was so soft. It’s like she just wanted to understand me. “I pushed him because he wanted my toy. This is only mine.” I averted my eyes and I heard her sigh. Another day
Chapter 104: Bells are ringing I was enraged for almost a month while enduring not talking to Patry. I have no intention of telling him more about the baby in my womb now. I’m thinking that I would just raise him on my own. I don't want to go and marry a man who is a cheater and can't be satisfied. I can't stand the baby's suffering in the future. He had set up a tent outside our house, waiting for me to talk to him but I didn’t bother. "Kira, Patry have been sleeping outside for almost a month. When are you going to talk to him?" I looked at Sera. "Why did you let him in through the gate? He's banned here, isn't he? My head gets even hotter when he's near." "He bought you macaroni soup downstairs and the cravings you said last night, siopao and siomai." I was stunned and immediately stood up. I heard her laugh and I knew she was teasing me. I went downstairs until I reached the dining table. My stomach immediately growled when I saw the macaroni soup. I took a spoon and immediate
Chapter 103: Break up? "I'm not sure if our wedding will continue." They looked at me as if they couldn't believe me. Here I am again with the complete squad at a restaurant. It's Nin's treat and she herself insisted on it. She said that she made a lot of money last month so she took it as an opportunity to treat us. Or maybe that's not really the reason. "What are you saying? You're just newly engaged but you're going to break up? Do you really love each other?" Jerich asked one after another and I just sighed. My head hurts again. Plus the fact that Patry hasn’t spoken to me politely until now and he’s really stubborn! I was trying to convince him to have a serious talk about our wedding plans but he didn't want us to go back to the wedding planner that Mommy G got. It's embarrassing for Emerson because he walked out that day and didn’t come back. I can’t really understand his attitude anymore! "They have opposite interests. They can't agree on one option and my brother doesn't
