Everyone's eyes were on the screen, and I was solidified at my feet. No, it's not happening. Little by little, my eyes were getting blurry. My world fell apart. My knees weakened, and before I collapsed on the floor, I noticed some people's looks in my direction. My gaze landed on Zach with a shock in his expression, then moved to Sir Alexander, who had no reaction, as if that was nothing new to him. Lucia and Grace were staring at the screen in disbelief. Then reporters rushed in my direction, and before they could get close, I ran to leave, opening the door with my tears blurring my vision. I went to the stairs, running away from the end of my life. Who did this? I almost tripped, and collapsed on the floor. Tears began to flow from my eyes. I stood up again, taking my wedge off, and quickly went down the barrier. My chest was getting tighter. It's all over. Maybe it's Giovanni's doing. He can't accept that Cairen is gone and wants to expose the truth. He could have all those

"It's good seeing you here," Nana Mima said when she opened the door. There was happiness in her eyes to see me. Immediately she hugged me as if we hadn't seen each other for a long time."I miss you so much, Nana," I cried in the middle of the hug. She was the woman I thought like my mother. The one who loved me unconditionally just like her own."I miss you so much dearest." She kissed my cheeks. "I heard the news from Cathliya that your sister is alive, and all that we believe was a lie. I am always thinking of how you will take the truth. Blake called me that you stayed with him. It somehow gave me relief and now I'm seeing you here."Cathiya was her eldest daughter, however, I've never met her before since I was a secret to her life."I am fine now, Nana. I thought you remained at the other house, why here?" I asked after our embrace broke and she was leading me to the familiar living room I lived in even though Grandma never came here."Because this reminds me of you and I know t

His look passed at me to the saleslady, he smiled with his cute dimple at her saying something that I didn't hear. "Here's Ma'am," the cashier said to me and I took the paper she handed me. Of course, how come he knew it was me when I changed my look. Not the look of Cairen he knew. Cairen he loved. There seemed to be a pain in my heart. Iffin! Why it was hard for me to forget him. I went back to the office and took the box containing the new dress. I read the paper and I didn't know that Arrabella said it two days ago when I was busy helping Alice to prepare her wedding. Arrabella was here, and I don't know anything about her life. I deleted my social media account, and forgot them but it was hard especially those people I was close with that hated me after. I opened the box, it was a summer dress, and the size was too small for her. I went to the other room where some clothes were kept. And I looked at the dress. When I found the size in the box I went back. How is she? Did sh

To be truthful, I was uncertain. For the past few months, Zach had become an integral part of my life. I had learned countless valuable lessons from him, and whether I acknowledged it or not, my feelings for him still lingered. I tried to conceal my emotions, but it seemed like my actions always betrayed me and revealed my true feelings towards him. I had spent two consecutive days with my parents in my condo unit. We passed the time by binge-watching N*****x shows and honing our cooking skills. Despite my slow progress, my mother never gave up on teaching me. "It's not bad anymore," my mother praised as she took a bite of my dish. questions about Blake from my parents had finally ceased. I was at ease, not having to worry about what to say if they were to inquire about him again. However, this also left me with a sense of unease as I wasn't sure how to answer them should they ever bring him up again. Days passed, and my life resumed its normal routine. But with each passing day, the

After much contemplation for two weeks, I finally made the decision to return to the Philippines. The thought of it weighed heavily on my mind, but once the decision was made, I felt confident in it. Blake had promised to visit me whenever he had a vacation or gigs in the country, and Alice and Katana had also pledged to accompany me. With their support, I felt motivated to search for a suitable place for us to stay, just like we had in the past. As soon as I stepped off the plane, I was greeted with a loud, joyful cry of "Casslie, my child!" from Mama, who then enveloped me in a warm, tight embrace. We held each other tightly as we reunited at the terminal. Grace, Lucia, and Evan were also there to greet me, but Aldridge was nowhere in sight. Despite this, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over me. "I told you, it's you that I saw at Forçe last time," Grace said before she smiled at me and hugged me, which I returned. Even though our relationship wasn't good the las
