Chapter 71: I'm Innocent!

Michael reached for the buttons on Dylan's shirt, unfastening them hastily and sliding the shirt off without breaking their kiss. His hands roamed over Dylan’s bare skin as their lips fought for dominance.Dylan broke away, trailing his lips to Michael's neck and sucking gently, drawing a soft moan. Their eyes met, searching each other for unspoken answers. Then, with a sudden pull, Dylan drew Michael close again, kissing his eyelids, brows, and the bridge of his nose."How are you so irresistibly cute?" he whispered, smiling as they resumed kissing. Dylan’s hands slid down to Michael’s waistband, starting to unbuckle his belt—when suddenly…*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*A knock at the door interrupted them immediately.Michael bit his lip, mentally cursing himself for forgetting they were still at the restaurant. He looked at Dylan, who chuckled at his expression. With a slight smile, Michael climbed off the bed, and they both began putting their shirts back on before Michael moved to answer t

Chapter 72: "Do you want to see your Dad?"

The restaurant was filled with young girls who couldn’t help but smile at Dylan. Some repeatedly called him over, asking questions about the menu despite already having looked at it.Others tossed flirtatious comments his way, and Dylan responded with a charming smile. A few took out their phones to capture the moment, posting about it right away, and he didn’t mind one bit.Those who recognized him as a public figure asked for pictures, and Dylan was busy obliging them. Meanwhile, Michael stood by the corner, watching as Dylan smiled and attended to the fangirling crowd. He scoffed quietly to himself, feeling a wave of jealousy wash over him.When the last group finally left, Dylan breathed a sigh of relief, leaving just him and Michael in the now-quiet restaurant.He walked over to Michael, who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. Dylan smiled and reached out to touch him, but Michael stepped back.“Why don’t you keep touching your fans and pretend I don’t exist?” he

Chapter 73: I don't know the real you.

Vincent’s eyes fluttered open, his head throbbing painfully. He instinctively reach up to cradle his head, only to find his wrist tethered to a rope.He glanced down at his hands and noticed he was hooked up to an IV drip.“You’re awake?” Marianne’s voice broke the silence. Vincent turned towards the sound, a faint smile forming at the sight of her. But his smile quickly faded when Alexander entered the room, carrying Emilio in his arms.“Since you’re up, we’re leaving now. The hospital bill is all taken care of,” Alexander said, holding Emilio a little closer as he spoke.“That’s it? Are you just going to ignore the fact that your so-called friend knocked me out? What if I decide to file a lawsuit? Don’t think I can’t do it,” Vincent shot back, pulling out the IV needle from his arm as he rose unsteadily to his feet.Alexander let out a dry chuckle, casting Vincent a disdainful look.“Go ahead. I could use the entertainment,” he replied simply, heading towards the door with Emilio.“

Chapter 74: Dilemma.

Alexander stayed silent for almost two minutes. When Jake noticed his friend’s silence, he felt a bit alone.How could someone he thought of as a friend doubt him, just because someone accused him of what had happened weeks ago?"Well…" Jake started, taking a steadying breath. "Thanks for…""I believe you," Alexander interrupted. "I trust you. The Jake I know wouldn’t do anything to hurt me."Jake sighed and kept staring at the sky before taking another lick of his ice cream. His thoughts shifted to Vincent, and anger began to simmer within him."That guy’ll be the first one I have to kill..." he thought, his grip tightening on the ice cream cone until it started melting over his hand."Uh, your clothes, dude," Alexander said, tapping him, pulling Jake out of his thoughts."Oh, crap!" Jake muttered, letting out an awkward laugh. "Thanks, man," he added, while Alexander just nodded, watching him act strangely."Sorry for all the trouble I’ve put you through. If your mom finds out, I’m

Chapter 75: Who am I really?

Jayson gazed at Marianne, who seemed lost in her thoughts. For a fleeting moment, his eyes drifted to her lips—something he hadn't tasted in the five years they had known each other. Their interactions had been limited to kisses on the cheek and, more often, gentle kisses on her forehead during events. This was all possible because others perceived them as a real couple, oblivious to the fact that their relationship was merely a façade.After staring too long at her, he swiftly approached, closing the gap between them. He cupped her face in his hands and softly pressed his lips against hers.Caught off guard, Marianne froze, struggling to comprehend what was happening. Once she realized he had kissed her, she instinctively pushed him away, her hands on his shoulders."What..." she began, trying not to raise her voice."I'm sorry. I lost it for a moment," Jayson said, his voice laced with regret."Goodnight..." Marianne replied, turning away and heading to her room. Jayson remained beh

Chapter 76: Who truly am I? (ii)

Jake sat at the back of the classroom, his eyes only half-focused on the notes in front of him.No matter how the professor spoke, none of the words registered; his mind was miles away from the lecture.This was the second time he'd felt this way—a nagging instinct that something was off. The first was when Marianne had almost gotten into an accident. Somehow, he’d managed to push through that feeling. But now, since the moment he arrived in class that morning, a strange restlessness had gnawed at him, triggered by a weird dream the night before.Beside him sat Alexander, who was casually fiddling with his pen and occasionally glancing over at Jake.“Hey,” Alexander whispered, nudging Jake with his elbow. “Spacing out again? What’s up? You haven’t been yourself since this morning.”Jake blinked a few times, snapping back to reality.“Just... distracted. And feeling weird, too,” he muttered under his breath, taking a sharp inhale.“Want to talk about it?” Alexander asked.Before Jake c

Chapter 77: Dream come true.

The day passed in a blur, and everything seemed to return to normal, but the closeness was missing. Jayson had created a distance between himself and everyone else, keeping his boundaries close to only Emilio, Marianne, and Michael.Vincent had offered his apology as planned, and though Jake accepted it, he still didn’t view Vincent as a close friend.Meanwhile, Charlotte found herself unable to face Jake since Vincent promised to speak to him on her behalf. She feared facing Jake, worried he would reject her again as he did back in college when she was just a first-year high school student. He had called her a kid back then, saying she was too young for him, but Charlotte’s feelings for him had been anything but childish.Her affection for him began the day she first visited her brother’s school. Jake had kindly directed her to her brother, and from that day forward, she couldn’t get him out of her mind.That evening, Charlotte sat outside, gazing at the stars while listening to a ne

Chapter 78: He never has been yours.

Winter stood in the kitchen, watching Marianne move effortlessly as she prepared dinner. The party had ended about an hour ago, and now they wanted to eat something before going to bed.The aroma of simmering sauce filled the air, but Winter’s thoughts were elsewhere. She couldn’t stop thinking about Michael and the other guy she had seen him with.“Anne…” she called softly.“Hmm?” Marianne replied, not taking her eyes off the task at hand.“You and that guy... I mean, the celebrant. You both seem close,” Winter said, trying to sound casual, though her words came out more pointed than she intended.Marianne’s hands paused briefly, the knife hovering over the cutting board. She turned her gaze toward Winter, not surprised, just tired, as if this conversation had been inevitable.“Michael’s with Dylan,” Marianne said quietly.“It’s not like I didn’t notice. They seem close, sure. But that’s not what I’m asking,” Winter replied.“If you’re thinking anything stupid, you should drop it. He

Chapter 79: DNA results.

Alexander released a deep sigh, shutting his eyes momentarily as if to control his anger. Just then, Elena’s call came through, and he picked up without delay.“What’s this nonsense you sent me?” Alexander asked, his voice composed, though Elena only responded with a laugh.“Still so calm after everything? Don’t you realize Marianne is just trying to manipulate you by claiming the boy is yours? Why can’t you see that?” she said, her voice growing sharper.“You’ve been acting incredibly foolish, Lena,” he replied, massaging his temples slowly. “I didn’t know you were taking extra lessons in stupidity,” he added, prompting a grin from Elena on the other end.“Well, the girl who majored in stupidity and even got a master’s took Emilio’s hair sample to confirm if he’s really yours. And guess what? Don’t get too excited, darling. The kid might look like you, but he’s not yours. And just so you know, your daughter will be coming to visit as soon as her school break starts,” Elena said, maki

Chapter 80: You're mine, I promise.

After dropping Marianne off at her apartment, Alexander, who initially planned to head straight to Jake’s, decided instead to make a stop at the hospital where he had taken a test earlier that day.Once there, he exchanged a polite greeting with the doctor and collected the physical copy of his results. Without saying a word or listening to what the doctor had to say, he left the hospital and returned to his car, now heading to Jake's house.Arriving at Jake’s, he keyed in the access code and stepped inside. He spotted Grandma Emma preparing to head to bed and offered her a warm goodnight.“Xander…” Grandma Emma called out, just as Alexander was about to enter Jake’s room. He paused and walked over to hear what she wanted to share.“Aren’t you going to be honest with Jake? You’re close friends, but the two of you couldn’t be more different. He never takes anything seriously,” she said.“Grandma, you know how Jake is. He hates being pushed into things. If you don’t pressure him, he’ll
