Alyia's Point of View. "Seems like we're not welcome in here? Hmm?" The evil witch looking woman said and smirked at me as if what she's doing now isn't trespassing. "We're family, right? We must welcome our family members warmly, Alyia." She added as she pick up a fork from the table and took a bite from one of the pancakes. "Of course. I would be rude if I make you feel that you're not welcome here." I said and faked a smile. This conniving bitch is trying to make me annoyed of her and her daughter's presence but guess what? I won't give her the satisfaction she wants. "You're really making our heart flutter, cousin. Would you mind if I sit here?" Cherry cut in pur conversation and walked to the seat beside Cosmos. She moved the chair closer to Cosmos that made me raise a brow but I just shook my head. I won't let them get into me now. I turned my gaze to Cosmos only to see his flustered look now. I can see that he's using his eyes to ask me. Ask me about what am I doing now.
Cosmos' Point of View. "Why aren't you eating more, Ma'am? Is something wrong with the food? You barely touched it." Mira asked Lyra who is now staring at her food. She raised her gaze to Mira and shook her head. "No. I'm fine. The food is fine. Maybe, I'm just not in the mood but don't worry about me." She said and smiled. I thought she'll take a glance at me but she didn't. Since I came back here, she never met my gaze. Here I am, staring at her, wondering what is wrong but I can't find any answer. What happened? Why am I getting a weird feeling towards her? Why can't she just say to my face what's wrong? "Let's just eat." Lyra said and pasted a small smile on her face. No one dared to answer her because even me can feel a different aura around her. She's different now or is it just me? "Is she like that since you got here?" I whispered to Debbie who is beside me now but I didn't got an answer because she's spacing out. She's staring at Lyra now so I snapped my fingers in fr
Alyia's Point of View. (The night she shouted at Cosmos) It's just eleven in the evening. Maybe I could call Mira or Debbie here. As far as I know, Mira is staying at an apartment nearby here and Debbie is also near, too. Maybe I could get in touch with Mira. It's better. Debbie has a family and no one knows what she's doing with them now. I could just be a disturbance to her if I choose to tell her what I'm thinking now. They didn't visit me after our dinner. It's been a day. Well, they just drop off here. Also, I don't have anything to worry about the business because Debbie assured me that there's nothing to worry and for the showbiz, Mira said to me that she's fixing something before I make my come back to the industry. If I should be the one who will be asked, I don't want to come back. What's the point? I just entered that industry because of the comfort that it gave me when I was so down and no one was with me but now, everything is different from before. I have Cosmos, Mi
Alyia's Point of View. "He left already, right?" I asked Debbie who is in front of me now. She nodded that made me let out a sigh. "What happened, Madame? Last night, you were okay. Did something happened? We don't know what to react now." She said to me while giving me the make up kit I told her to get for me. "None of your business. Just do what I say. No more questions. Fix everything about my come back because I won't be hiding anymore." I said and brushed make up on my face. "Y-yes, Madame. Everything is working out fine. Don't worry." She answered with her stuttering voice as she bow her head to me. "Good." I said and put on my lipstick. A heavy one. "Ma'am, there are so many media waiting for you outside." Mira said as she got into the room, panting. "What do you mean?" I asked her with my brows creased. "On my way here, I was almost cornered by those media trying to get answers from me. What is happening, Ma'am?" She exclaimed while running out of breath."Why don't yo
Cosmos' Point of View. "This is the apartment. I'm sorry if it's so messy but I know you can handle this." The landlady said as she walked inside the apartment. "Okay. Thank you." I replied and instread of a reply from her, I just received a pat on my shoulder. When I made sure I am already alone, I let out a sigh. "I guess I'll be staying here for a while starting now." I said to myself as I roam around the apartment. It's really small compared to Lyra's condo but I know this will be fine for me. I see a bed, a table and a chair. It's just that plain. The only decoration here is an abstract painting posted beside the window. I decided to open the window because it's kinda dark without the sunlight inside. When I opened it, I let out a sigh and look around this place. "So, now I just have to clean this mess and stay here for 2 and a half weeks." I said to myself and started to find cleaning materials so that I could start right away. * * * Alyia's Point of View. "I'm sure I
Alyia's Point of View. "She fainted out of stress. I suggest for her to take a rest and she is fine." A voice of a man woke me up so I opened my eyes just to see the white ceiling that I'm facing now. "W-where am I?" I asked myself innocently as if it would answer me but a familiar voice of a woman answered me."You're in the hospital. Again." She answered that made me glance at her just to see her smile that screams sarcasm. "What happened?" I asked and tried to get up but I can't and I don't know why. "You collapsed, Madame." Mira answered before helping me to get up. That was the time that I remembered why I collapsed and where it was. Oh my god. "Cherry!" I exclaimed with my worried voice. "Madame?" Debbie asked with her brows furrowed. "What about Cherry, Ma'am?" Mira asked too with also confusion in her face. "Cherry. Have you contacted her? I want to get in touch with her. She's.. she's my sister! For pete's sake!" "Ma'am, how are you so sure?" Mira asked me while try
Cherry's Point of View. "Give me back my things, please. I'm begging you. I didn't do anything to you. Why are you doing these to me?" I said and my voice is really begging. I pity myself so much for being so weak now. These girls. How can they just be like this knowing I'm not capable of protecting myself because I have no friends? "Will you shut your annoying mouth, loser?" The girl with the red lollipop on her hand yelled at me and like a little kitten, I was silenced by that. "Take these back. It's worthless in the first place. Just like you." The other girl said and threw my bag at me and I tried to catch it but it was too heavy because of the books in it. So, it landed on my right foot and I felt pain as soon as it touched my foot. "Ouch. Ugh." I moaned out of the pain I felt. I bowed my head to caress my foot but that just caused my glasses to fall from my ears. I was about to look for it by crawling because I can't see anything clear without it but I was stopped when I
Alyia's Point of View. When a sound of gunshot banged around the room, it made me roll to the floor. "Ugh." I moaned as I caress my elbow that had a scratch because of the floor. I slowly stood up and opened my eyes only to see Cherry's face very near to me. "Hi, stepsister." She said before she pulled me by my hair. "Cherry... You don't have to do this. Please, you're just blinded by your thoughts. You don't have to do this, please." I said and was ignoring the pain that I'm feeling now because she's still pulling me by my hair. "No. You're not getting into my mind. I need to do this. Stop! You're so annoying!" She yelled at me before throwing me at the wall. "Ugh." I moaned when I felt another pain on my back. I held my tummy and slowly moved because I don't have the strength to stand up and face Cherry again. "Cherry..." I called out her name with my weakest voice. "Shut the fuck up!" She yelled again loudly. "Get her! I don't want to hear a word from that woman again!" S
THIS IS THE SUSPENSE CHAPTER OF THE SECOND GENERATION OF THIS BOOK. I WILL PUBLISH THIS SECOND GEN NOVEL SOON STILL UNDER GOODNOVEL.Astrophel's Point of View."You have an eye disease.

I can clearly remember every word he said that day."Are you sure you will
Alyia's Point of View."Are you really going to do this? You can still continue showbiz while you're being my wife, though." Cosmos said as he stared at me and I am here putting makeup on.I don't really want to put any makeup on but I have to. Since it's the last time. After this, I'll be free anyway."You know I must have done this long time ago but I think now is the best time since I want to settle down with you and this little child in my tummy. Also, I don't have to do showbiz anymore. You and this baby in here is enough." I said at his face and smiled.After the visit that we did on Flame and Aunt Carrie, we immediately drove our way here. Days ago, I called for a press conference. Since months have passed since I got out from our house just to avoid people, I think today is the perfect time.We also or I must say Cosmos did hire a doctor to go to our house to do every
Alyia's Point of View.Months later..."Hurry up, Lyra. We might be late!" Cosmos' voice yelled from downstairs while I'm in the middle of putting on my makeup."Wait a second!" I yelled back at him."You already know that the visiting hours for him are limited, baby. Let's hurry up." He said when he got in our room."Okay okay. I'm done." I said and stared at my reflection on the mirror one more time.Months after Flame took me out, we found out about all of the things he did. Including surrendering to the police. I already know now. Everything sinks in my mind now."Are you really done?" Cosmos asked me and I saw him raise a brow at me."Can I have a little help with this?" I asked and pointed at myself whom can't stand up because of my tummy who is making it hard for me to stand up.
Alyia's Point of View."Am I going to pick you up by 2 pm or what?" He asked while we're inside his car."I will just call you." I answered and as I look outside to see the coffee shop that Flame told me we'll meet up and when I saw it, I tapped Cosmos' shoulder."Stop right there." I said and pointed the parking space in front of the coffee shop."Are you really sure you don't want to bring me around?" He asked as he park the car.I want to have him around so that they'll have good terms with Flame because the last thing I knew about them, they weren't in good terms. They do be speaking with each other but I know he was jealous with Flame and Flame also accesses him for being arrogant."You know I want to but Flame told me not to bring anyone. I already told you about that, right?" I asked him and he smiled to me."Of cours
Cosmos' Point of View.Coming home to Lyra after a tiring day is my most favorite part of my day. It is monday. Yesterday, we spent each other's day together. Both of us had no work yesterday except for her photoshoot that became ours.I wasn't really ready for that photoshoot of hers. Not until somebody mentioned that she will be doing it with a guy. I didn't want her going around with guys. She's mine.That thought made me smile. Yes, mine. All mine."I'm home." I said when I came out from my car and came in the house.For the meantime, since the house that we are staying here in my house. Lyra moved in here to be with me. I know she didn't got out since the morning because she is sick.I didn't wanted to leave her alone here but I had to.When I walked in the house, I looked around the place, looking for her but nothing. I think, she
Alyia's Point of View."Are you sure I look okay? What about I wear that one? Or this one? Or that one on my bed?" I asked Flame while I point the clothes that I meant."Are you serious now, Alyia? Why are you wasting your time like this? What if he's already there? It's already 9:30 for pete's sake. What are you doing?" He asked me that made me really nervous that I had to look at my wrist watch only to sew that it's just 8:50."It's just 8:50 pm!" I yelled at him because I did really became nervous because of what he said."It's better be advanced than sorry, Alyia." He answered with the shaking of his head."You scared me!" I yelled at him and walked to my chair with my mirror in front of it."You already look good. What are you thinking? You're fine as what you are. Now, go. You don't want me to drag you outside eh?" He asked me and it seems l
Alyia's Point of View."Oh my god. Is what I'm thinking right now is correct or I'm just seeing things?" The host asked as she stares at the photo flashed on the screen and unto the both of us.This is what I'm avoiding to happen but yeah, it happened. Why did they have to bring that picture back, though?I am at the middle of thinking how will I react without looking like I'm still not over him in front of the camera now. I can't show people that after I answered their questions about him the last time I got in here."This is making her uncomfortable. Can we please cut the cameras? I don't want Ms. Vega to be uncomfortable towards me." I heard Cosmos' voice said that made me more embarrassed.Why would he say that? People will think that we're still together because of what he's acting towards me now.I want to cover his mouth with my hand to mak
Cosmos' Point of View. I'm seeing her now. What should I do? I practiced so many times at the office earlier on how to talk to her but now, I know that I can't talk to her without stuttering. I can't talk to her without me being nervous. Well, that shit happens all the time to me. It sounds cringe, yeah for a man like me but I can't deny the fact that she still gives me butterflies in my stomach after all these time. After all the years I've spent on dreaming and thinking about her. "Sir, are you okay with no makeup on or we should call someone to put one on you?" Someone from the staffs approached me that made me look away from Lyra. "No. I'm fine. Thank you for the offer but I'm not used to makeups and such." I answered her shacking my head a no. "Oh. Okay. You can just wait here before we set everything up. Just call someone if you need something, Sir." She said and I responded with a thank you then she immediately disappeared from my sight, blending with the busy people aroun
Alyia's Point of View. It is monday. The first day of my week. My weekends ended real fast. It was friday I last saw people. That day that Cosmos told me the truth. I don't know if it's really the truth because I don't know what to think of about that. It seems like after I heard that, I want to reset the time. I want the whole world to stop and let me process everything but no. The world didn't stop. I continued living, the world continued rotating. My world continued on going and moving forward and I didn't want that. I just want to stay here in my house. Alone. I didn't want to see people so I locked myself in here, alone. Even Flame didn't tried to contact me because in our last meeting, I told him not to. "Why do I have to go now? Can't it be weekends again?" I groaned and got off my bathtub. When I stood up, I covered myself with my bathrobe that was just chilling on my hanger on the wall. I looked at my reflection on the mirror and asked myself, "What if he's telling the t
