Chapter: Chapter 3"WHAT?!" She heard his girlfriend say from the other line when he told her everything. "Are you joking? It's not funny, hon..." She couldn't believe what he had told her. "I made a deal so he wouldn't go to jail." He said emotionlessly. "The hell, Ali. Why did you do that? You don't have to take responsibility for her. Just give that slut some money, and I'm sure she'll leave your life...our life. Don't forget that you told me you were going to marry me. Please, hun...please don't do this." His girlfriend's voice suddenly changed. He knew that his girlfriend could be possessive over him. He should be the one feeling that way, but somehow, it seemed like it was the other way around. He felt free when she went to Australia, but she called him every minute, and whenever he didn't answer her calls, they would end up fighting again. "I'm a man of my word, Cass. I said it, so I'll do it." He said before hanging up the phone. He immediately finished the contents of the bottle of

Chapter: Chapter 2She saw Kuya Lysander frown."What's this?"He stared at her."Xen? What does this mean?"Her brother showed her the paper."Kuya...I can explain."She lowered her head, trying not to cry as she tried to tell him everything."That's exactly what I want you to do...explain this. Why? What...."Lysander scratched his head."Who the hell got you pregnant?"His jaw clenched in anger."Kuya...""Who?!"He shouted at her."Xen...I did everything just to give you everything you wanted. Maybe I'm the reason why you turned out like this. But I never wanted you to be like me. Tell me who the bastard who got you pregnant is!"She could only close her eyes whenever her brother raised his voice.He had every right to be angry at her.It was also her fault."D-Darian..."She said through her tears.He only laughed."Don't lie to me! Darian wouldn't do this...the man is getting married, and he loves his girlfriend. Why would he get you pregnant—""I'm telling the truth!!"She couldn't stop herself f

Chapter: Chapter 1She opened her eyes and found herself completely naked and alone, lying on the bed.Her breathing was heavy, and she was shaking.She covered her mouth and could only cry silently.What did that bastard do to her? Or perhaps the more suitable question was—what did the two of them do?She fixed herself up and got out of bed. She put on her clothes and went inside the bathroom.She just stared at herself in the mirror.Her chest felt tight.She couldn't remember some of the details of what happened last night, but she would never forget that man's face."XEN? Hey..."She suddenly snapped back to reality when she heard Cally's voice."You okay? You've been spacing out for a while now..."She said it in a worried tone."I'm fine..."She avoided Cally's gaze.Calysta Voss, her best friend since grade school.They shared secrets, and they were like sisters.But this time, she didn't know how to tell her friend what had happened.She trusted her, but she was afraid that Cally might tell her

Chapter: PrologueIT WAS A typical Saturday evening. There were more people in the club tonight than on other days, and it was obvious that half of them were already drunk. She was worried because there might be a fight again, but the sight of Alby washed her worries away. He’s their bouncer at the club. He’s also her brother’s friend. "Xen!" She heard Lysander shout. She just smiled at her brother and waited for him to come closer to her. He had a man with him. That must be the one her brother told her about. He said he had a friend who wanted to help fund another branch for Lumina. This must be him. "Darian... this is my sister, Xevia." Her brother introduced her. She saw the man her brother called Darian look at her from head to toe. "Nice to meet you." He quickly took her hand and kissed it. The man was clearly drunk just from the way he was talking. "Nice to meet you too." She said awkwardly while pulling her hand back. She didn’t like men like this. She gets scared when she has to talk to

Chapter: Chapter 14She yawned and stretched after a good night sleep. Hindi siya nahirapan sa pagtulog kagabi. Unlike in other places na na-stay-han niya. She wiped her eyes and was about to get out of bed and walk towards the toilet when she felt something beside her.Napatitig siya sa kabilang side nang kama at nakita ang natutulog na si Ali. What is he doing here? She found herself smiling at this sight of him, sleeping so peacefully."You look beautiful." she whispered and smiled.Patuloy pa rin ang pagtitig niya sa mukha ni Ali nang bigla nitong iminulat ag mata."What are you doing?"Nanlaki ang mata niya nang magsalita na ito. She jumped out of bed and ran towards the bathroom. What was she thinking?! Napahawak siya nang ulo. She knows staring is not a sin, but it's so embarrassing."Hey! Slowdown!"

Chapter: Chapter 13After opening the gate's napahanga sya sa nakita nya. It was a garden, with a big swimming pool in the front.Typical house's have their swimming pools and garden at the back of the house but this one is different. And she loves it. Parang insulto naman to sa kanya. Pinahahalatang pagpasok palang kaylangan na nyang maligo."I'll escort you to your room Seniorita."Ngiting sabi nang babae kanina. Tumango lamang sya at sinundan ito papunga sa staircase." It was nice meeting you Seniorita. Ako ay si Susan. "Napangiti sya nang nagsalita ito nang tagalog. She was cute when she said that." I'm sorry... I was learning a little bit of your language because you and Senior Ali are Filipinos, I'm trying my best."Halata namang ginagawa nito ang lahat para matuto nang tagalog. Her impressions on Susan was cute and jolly. No doubt, she's going to like her. "It's nice to meet you too Susan. And don't worry. If you want I can help you with that."Pagpresinta nya."That's nice of you Seniorita.

Chapter: Chapter 12Naramdaman niyang may humawak sa balikat niya kaya naman iminulat nya ang mga mata. Nakarating naba sila ni Ali sa pupuntahan nila? Nang tinignan nya ang driver's seat wala na doon si Ali. Naka park ang kotse nila dito sa gilid nang kalsada. Asan naba kasi sila."Kuya?"Kinuha nya ang seatbelt at akmang lalabas na sana pero may biglang humawak sa braso nya."Where are you going?"Bigla syang napalingon nang marinig ang boses ni Casielle. Anong ginagawa nya dito?"Kuya!"Agad nyang sigaw."Go... Scream until mapaos ka. Wala namang tutulong sayo."Nakangiti ito.Nanlaki ang mata nya nang makita na may dala itong kutsilyo." Say babye bitch! "She raised the knife and pointed it on her. " WAG!!! "Napabalikwas sya.At doon lamang napagtanto na nasa loob sya nang.....Eroplano?Was that a dream? Or is this a dream? "Are you okay?"Napatitig sya sa katabi nyang upuan.It was Ali holding a glass of wine."Just a dream. I mean a nightmare."Nakahinga sya nang maluwag."San tayo papunta?"N

Chapter: Chapter 11Mrs. Shelly Querino Veyne." Napangiti sya sa tunog nang magiging pangalan nyang iyon. "Well it has a nice ring to it." Rowena replied. Her friend since college and now, her maid of honor. "So.... The weddings finally around the corner . I'm so happy for you Shelly." Hinawakan nito ang kamay nya at niyakap siya. "Well, hopefully matuloy na ngayun. We had to postpone it since inuna ni Tita ang kasal nina Ali." Pilit siyang ngumiti. Ang alam nang lahat ay kasala na sila ni Darian. Pero ang totoo, pinalabas lang nila iyon. Para naman mukhang walang eskandalo sa pamilya nila.She always tells herself that it's alright and she's still going to marry the man she loved. But a part of her is hesitant.Alam naman niyang may anak ito sa ibang babae at natitiis naman niya na isawalang-bahala lamang iyon." How's your relationship with Darian anyways? I thought you too are going to break up after what happened. But I guess your love for him is still strong."Bilib na komento ni Rowena.Th

Chapter: Chapter 10DIVORCE?He was planning to file a divorce after she gave birth to her child?Sabagay. Hindi naman nya masisisi si Ali kung gusto nyang makipaghiwalay sa kanya. After all there is no love between them. It's just this child that's stoping him from being with the girl he loves. At hindi naman dapat sya ang kailangan managot sa kanya.Hindi na sya mapakali simula nang marinig iyon kanina habang nag uusap si Mrs. Veyne at Ali. But she thinks this is all her fault. Kung hindi sya nagpakasal kay Ali maybe Casielle will not behave this way. She must really love Ali kaya nya nagawa ang mga iyon."Your awake."Nagulat sya nang magsalita ang kuya nya."Kuya what are you doing here?"Tanong nya dito."Xen I'm your brother. Alangan namang wala dapat ako dito. I'll make sure hindi na mangyayari to. Go home with me. Kasalanan ko lahat nang to. I never should have left you with the Veyne's. Tama ka. Kaya nating buhayin yang bata nayan without a father figure in her life. Kinaya nga nating dalawa d

He can get Xen a VIP room anytime she needed."She's fine.. Its just all the stress lately. Ali you should really take her away from here. In a place where hindi kayo mahahanap ni Casielle. Where hindi na mais-stress si Xen. Where my grandchild will be safe from that crazy woman."Hinawakan nya ang anak at napatitig sa natutulog na si Xen."It was my fault Ma, I told Casielle I would file a divorce after Xen deliver the baby safely."Pag amin nya dito.Yes he was sure of that but he was confused right now. Hindi nya alam na kaya nang manakit ni Casielle."What? Do you hear yourself? Divorce? You promised na pananagutan mo si Xen. Pinakasalan mo sya sa harap nang altar. You
