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
Chapter 84: Opponent "Yes, Secretary Martin. I'm already here in the Philippines ..." I said calmly on the other line. I heard him heave a sigh. "Are you alright there? What do you feel? Are you safe?" I smiled. "I’m totally fine. We were about to compete after two weeks and then, the last week will be our rest to spend the whole month vacation here. I don't know if I'm going to leave after that week. You know I have a lot more to know... mostly about my parents. " I said because it was the truth. "You don't have to be hasty about that Kira. I have already booked a flight and will leave by Monday. I have also informed Sir Finral about that matter and he agreed." I bit my lips and thought about it. I will extend my stay here in the Philippines to handle the open case about the plane crash. I will tell those to Manager Zee and I know that she will allow me to stay since we will be free after the competition. At first, I was irritated because I really don't want to stay here in the P
Chapter 85: Stay away "Kira, someone sent you a bag of snacks again!" The girls squealed while looking at me. I know that they're teasing me again. I just shook my head as Manager Zee handed me the ‘bag of snacks’. I just put that on the table and the girls can’t help but to look at the snacks. We're here at the game practice room and we finally ended it after five sessions. They took some of the snacks for each of them while looking at me with their teasing glances. Ugh. "Stop it ..." I whined and they just laughed. "Is your secret admirer going to make you fat?" Lai asked while eating chips. "She won't get fat because she always shares snacks with us." Jin said. I looked at Manager Zee, "I told you, manager, stop receiving the gifts already. I thought the hotel staff told us they'll refrain from receiving some gifts from the fans or any other person who intended to, last week." I even emphasized 'any other person'. "It's not from the outside, though. It's from the other team
Chapter 86: Win you over "Your ex-boyfriend is the hottie chef and the player in the Philippines?" Lai asked incredulously and I nodded. They gasped at my nodding which tells me that they're really surprised. I'm really surprised too that Manager Zee will hear all of that… argument. Of all the places, it never entered my mind that they would compete internationally and get to this point. It was beyond my expectations and I can see that this will be a disaster for me. I wanted to enjoy and be happy now that I have so many distractions. But the thing is, I'm not happy because of what happened yesterday. I didn’t talk to anyone because I was very mad and at the same time, I cried my heart out inside our room. Fortunately, Manager Zee understood because I really didn't want to talk to her first about that. I wanted to be on my own yesterday until I fell asleep. Like what I said, it’s just for yesterday only that I will cry and I will not talk to anyone first… and then I will talk to the
Chapter 87: Competition "Let's welcome the team from Singapore!" the emcee announced hinting that we will go up on stage to introduce ourselves. My hands and knees were trembling and I couldn't help it. I felt Guan holding my hand so my attention focused on her. "It's going to be alright, Kira. Just smile in front of them." she said and I just closed my eyes. "I'm ... sorry if I can't help it." My breathing was heavy as I said that and I felt like I was losing myself. "Come on, Kira, Guan ..." I heard Lai say. Guan smiled at me and I nodded. I got up with Guan and then walked up to the stage. I heard the screams of the people in the audience, there were fans from different countries. But despite all the noise around, only my loud heartbeat could be heard and it dominated me. I hate it. This is the competition. No more arrears. Everything was moving as planned and there were no more problems. We are also ready to compete, just don't really be distracted too much. Especially me, I
Chapter 88: Scandalous Affair "I'm so sorry, Miguel! I didn't know that.… that was going to happen at the event! He's just a nuisance that poofs out of nowhere!" I never stopped apologizing to him for what happened. He shook his head while laughing. "Don't apologize anymore. It's not your fault after all that you're too beautiful and many want your attention ..." I really felt guilty because of what happened during the event. He brought me here to the Philippines just to celebrate with me because we won. But now, he will leave immediately because of the issues. "Won't your company be affected because of me? You know, it's all over the news and they even dug deeply into your credentials ---" I was stunned when he held me on both shoulders. "Don't you think it's just a strategy just for our magazine issue to be noticed more by the public? That will help because our sales will increase. Don't blame yourself for what happens again and again. I'll be back to Singapore and to my work. E
Chapter 89: Apologize "Where are you going to take me?" I couldn't help but ask him because he just pulled me to his car just to escape the reporters who were following us. But based on what I saw, here in the parking lot, I still can see someone watching the car we were riding. There were still people hiding but it was obvious that we were being followed by them. They're so annoying! They didn't know about respecting privacy? "We're going to a restaurant. Just a second--" "What?" My eyes widened when he picked up his phone and he pressed something. He’s going to take me to a restaurant even if we have an interview later? Is he insane? I picked up my phone and immediately dialed Guan's number. Thank goodness and she answered right away. "Kira, where have you been?" she asked and I just sighed. "We were caught by reporters and Patry will take me into a restaurant. I don't know what to do! Get me away from here!" I asked and was stunned when Patry started the car we were riding in
Chapter 90: Freedom "I'm okay with five dresses." I said it for the fifth time but Mommy G didn't seem to hear anything. "You have to buy all you want. Many years have passed without you by our side. We miss you so much ..." Mommy G said passionately and I thought she would cry again so I approached her immediately. "Please don't cry anymore." I pleaded and handed over my handkerchief when I saw her tears forming up again. Sera smiled at me, "You can't blame us because we haven't been with you for so long. We really don't know how to talk to you because you suffered so much because of us." "It's not all your fault. It's because of Senator De Guzman. He has done a lot just to bring me down. They even involved you wherein I should be the only one to suffer. I should be the only one to endure all his madness ..." I insisted once again but she shook her head. "No, we won't let you suffer anymore. That's why we didn't let you either and took his offer just for you to live. We didn't k
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
