Chapter 51 Caine I FEEL so worried. My baby wasn't answering my phone calls and my texts all throughout the day. That's why I hurriedly tried my best to get back home as soon as I could. I was signing papers but my mind was clouded by my thoughts, filled by her beautiful face the entire day. It was already ten PM because I made sure I fixed everything today and I was so lucky I did. I will have to come back to work one of these days but that will not be so hard anymore. I smiled when my car entered the Village and smiled broader when I saw my house, though I'm a bit worried. Nassandra was waiting for me. I hope she's doing okay. Alam ko naman ang mga kalokohan niya minsan, lalo kapag pinagti-trip-an niya ako. I turned right but came to a full stop when I noticed Rechel, Sawyer, Davis and Kenneth. They were sitting under the starry sky. They all stood up and seemed to be in a hurry as they looked at the headlights of my Maserati. Jesus. Where is my baby? Agad akong bumaba sa sasa

Chapter 53 Nass Lifeless... After long hours of air travel, here I am. I am looking blankly and watching the rain as the car stops in front of the mansion, our mansion. The place that served as my shelter and the sole witness to all the happy memories of my childhood. Ang tahanan na naging bartolina ko simula sa pagkabata dahil hindi naman ako pinalalabas ng bahay, pero kahit kailan ay hindi ko naramdaman na malungkot dahil napapalibutan ako ng pagmamahal. But why am I looking at this place right now as a dark place? A prison cell for my aching heart, feeling incomplete and suddenly yearning for the man who had spent years here with me but now I left him all alone, or he left me all alone? Again, Am I wrong? I maybe am but I don't regret it, and if I have to do the same mistake again, paulit-ulit ko pa rin na gagawin. I love him that's why I surrendered. At naniniwala ako na may aral akong mapupulot kung sakali man na nagkamali ako ngayon. A woman must never settle for less. She

Chapter 55 Caine I stood in front of their house. I needed to hurt the guards so I could pass the gate, and I feel terribly sorry for what I did. Dito lang ako sa labas dahil gusto kong makita ang babae na parang nagpapaliwanag ng buong paligid sa tuwing nakikita ko. I am hoping to see my Kisses standing just at the door of her room's balcony. I knew her room ever since and I am looking up there right now, standing like a big mess, asking for just a single glance on her angelic face. Is she crying? Sure she is and I want to comfort her though I am dying deep down inside of me, too. I must be strong for both of us. She's still so young to feel this and I will never want her to experience this. I'm afraid she will be able to handle the pain. I don't want her to lose her kindness and the purity of her heart just because of this madness. Iilan na lang ang tao sa mundo na katulad niyang mabait, mapagmahal at mapagpatawad, kung magbabago siya dahil sa sakit na nararamdaman niya ngayon,

Chapter 55.2 Nass I WOKE up with dextrose. I almost forgot what happened because I felt so consumed. Kahit parang mga braso ko ay mahirap na igalaw. I remained staring at the ceiling. Mommy and Daddy were fighting again and they didn't even notice that I was already awake. I heard their voices just near the bed. "Nikka, please talk to me," Daddy pleaded Mommy. He's not mad anymore. He sounds so regretful. Did he shoot Caine that's why his voice was full of regret? I blubbered with the thought. I will never bear to see him lying inside a casket, lifeless. No. I will surely die in pain. My heart was pounding again too fast because of so much fear. Nag-sink in na ang lahat sa akin kung bakit ako nahimatay. My father shot the very man that I love. Gusto ko siyang sigawan, awayin, iyakan, pero para ano pa? I let my tears fall. “There's nothing more to talk about. Look what you've done to your daughter. She's overly stressed! She doesn't eat, she seldom talks, she always cries, she's

Chapter 57 Nass I rushed to the car when my performance ended. Yaya Dolly kept on following me until I reached the door. Damien opened the car for me but when hopped in, no Yaya after all. "Si Yaya?" I furrowed my brows at Kuya Damien but he pursed his lips and shrugged. "Baka nanlalalaki na naman," He tilted his head but I just giggled. I'm tired but singing is my passion. Wala naman dapat akong gig ngayon pero tinawagan ako ni Mr. Sia na hindi raw makakakanta ang vocalist ng banda dahil may sakit. Buti na lang tapos na ang exam ko kaya nandito ako ngayon. I have my classcards with me for the midterm and I am so proud of myself. Nag-e-excel pa rin ako sa school kahit na pinagsasabay ko ang pag-aaral ko at pagkanta. Another opportunity was knocking at my door, open na ulit ang offer ni Tito Royce na maging artista ako. Ayaw ko naman. He said he would talk to Mommy and Daddy. Ewan ko kung nag-usap na sila. "Bebe girl! Yeee!" Ate Dolly squeals as she reaches the car. She's carry
