Shock if shock. The things I witnessed were simply unbelievable. Never did I think that Israel would have a monster mother like Gretchen. No way!"Mom, what brought you here?" I saw Israel come closer to where the two devils are standing.I just looked at them, still hiding my wrath to show. Stacy, on the other hand, is forcing herself to resist the blade of my gaze on their mother and daughter. He even managed to grin at me. This is what I really hate about her, well... Stacy's smile is really annoying. She's been winning to tease me effortlessly just by smirking."We just want to drop this." And I saw that Gretchen had reached some kind of role in Israel.I just chose to stop looking at them and listen to what they were talking about. I won't get anything, I'll just waste my time with that mother and daughter.I hate to admit it but... yes, I was really surprised by what I found out. It's so surprising to know about Israel's relationship with someone I hate the most. With so many th
Because of the news I found out, I rushed to the studio just to make sure that what Theo was telling me was true. It's not like I'm not believing my manager, but the news itself is unbelievable.I'm just pretending. I don't see any single potential in Stacy. She can't act so, where did she get the courage to enter showbiz? And what fool let him in?"So, it's true?"When I got to the conference room, I caught up with the other cast of my upcoming drama, including Echo, who will be my leading man in the drama... and Stacy is with them."I'm not expecting to have another co-star?"As soon as I get back to my composure, I try not to let the tone of my voice show that I don't like Stacy's presence. There's no way they could find out my connection to that trash."Good thing that you've finally arrived, Corrine," said the TV director and led me to a seat. "Kim, the supposed actress to be the antagonist, just backed out from participating in the drama. We cannot proceed filming it if the cast
He disappears from my sight without even talking to me. He couldn't even give me a simple 'hi'. And I don't have someone in my mind rather Stacy whom I should blame.I caught sight of Stacy smiling at me, so to interrupt her happiness, I dragged her away from the set. I pulled him to a place where we could talk without being seen by the crew."You intentionally did that, did you?""Do what?""Don't be so stupid! I know you meant to push me close to Echo... just so Eli will be able to see me standing close to Echo! You're aware that he's coming and that's why you do that, right? ?!"And as she giggles at me while watching my face beginning to form a line, she only annoys me more."Hmm, what if I really intentionally do that-""You!" Instead of slapping her face, I just grabbed the collar of her polo shirt. "Your mother didn't just teach you to destroy the family, right? Now, you're training yourself to ruin my love life. What's next, Stacy?""Your life."And I couldn't stop myself from
The fvck? That's the exact photo on the day that Stacy pushed me towards Echo... and... someone just captured that?! And I think I shouldn't be surprised if that someone who took a photo of that is none other than Stacy. She's really a bitch!"So, what's the meaning of this, Corrine? Why are the fans shipping you to Echo when they know you're in a relationship with Eli?" Warren started the interrogation."Dude, you seem ignorant. Were you just born yesterday?" and Yuwi was actually able to joke."Yes, of course." Harris stood up straight and slightly brushed the clothes he was wearing. "Those fans don't hold back anything. It doesn't matter if you have a girlfriend or not, as long as they see that you have chemistry with the star of a teleserye, they will ship that, for sure.""Where's the lie?" Israel is second.And… he's not lying, though. Everything that Harris said just speaks the reality of showbiz."Eli-""Don't bother to explain anything to me, Corrine. I wasn't born yesterday
And since they all seemed to go for Eli's planned trick, I also agreed to be their cameraman. It's also one of my dreams to experience filming a music video, and I'll be the one to direct it.Now that Eli's opportunity is slapping me, I find no reason to object."Do you still need to hang that thing around your neck? Oh, that's so itchy, Julia!” I heard Yuwi complain.Because today they planned to do the gimmick, considering that today is the day before Christmas, then it's only afternoon... now, Magi and Julia are fixing DWEIYAH for costumes and a little makeup."The art of your skin, Yuwi! It's just a garland, don't be afraid!” bubbled Julia as she excitedly hung the garland on Yuwi's neck.But because Yuwi is a great critic, he immediately removed the garland from his neck when Julia left in front of him so that Israel was the target.The garland was supposedly the boys' main costume and their uniform, but ended up only three of them remaining wearing it; only Israel, Eli and Warre
"I really thought you would let me spend Christmas alone this year, eh," said my father despite him getting busy cooking one of his specialties; Kaldereta Chicken with pineapple.As planned, the morning of this Christmas day we returned to Manila to be with our respective families."I won't agree, yet." I laughed a little while helping him cut the ingredients he would need.The reason why we're cooking is that later this evening, we're expecting to have visitors---Eli's family are whom I am talking about. Aunt Lea wants to be with us this Christmas---Papa and I. So, to return the gratitude, Papa and I are the answer to the food and the venue is here at our house."Come here, Irene. Taste if it tastes okay.""Hey, you haven't put these pineapples in yet-""That's just for garnish, hija." And again Papa beckoned me to come to him.So, that's what I did. I came closer and tasted if the taste of what Papa had been cooking was okay-"Are you even real? This… is delicious, yet!" And I scoop
Is there only one person who wants to destroy my life with Eli? But... who's that bitch?By the time I meet that guy, I'll make sure it's his last day out of jail. I will make that person pay and suffer for threatening Eli's life and for attempting to ruin my relationship with him."Corrine, are you okay?"I came back to my senses when I heard Aunt Lea mention my name, and that's when I figure out that my mind was totally preoccupied passed in a couple of minutes."Uhh, yeah." To hide the awkwardness in my appearance, if there was any, I just smiled at Aunt Lea. "It was just the dish my father prepared for us that tasted so good.""That's how it affects me," I whispered.I don't know if my excuse was effective or if it was obvious that I was just boating in the middle of the cold weather. But thankfully, their conversation continued.As for Eli, because he was right in front of me, he slightly brought himself close to me to whisper. "Are you okay?"But I was hesitant to discuss with h
Instead of arguing with Stacy and choosing to make the trouble worse, I remained my mouth shut instead. The shooting place is not the right place for me to let go of Stacy and for me to exercise my immaturity.For sure, Director's temper will only increase if there is a fight on the set. Our working hours may be more than 24 hours today if by chance.Director let us rest after shooting that imperfect scene, that eventually will be retaken after the short break. I must have missed Eli too much that's why I have mentioned his name during the taping.But the crying scene was still a broken puzzle to me. What were those tears for?"I'm the one you're looking for, Irene," I heard someone say… and it was Stacy. "Yes, definitely. I am the owner of the fan account and the one behind the death threats that Eli receives." And she was saying those words the whole time, smiling."Should I be surprised?""You should've been startled now. That's what I'm expecting." She laughed before going near me
