Chapter: Chapter 4MATEA’S POVThe days that followed felt like stepping into a life I’d only ever dreamed of. Soft morning sunlight, the smell of coffee brewing, Kael’s quiet laugh as he flipped through a book on the sofa — these small, ordinary moments felt more precious than any grand gesture I’d ever known. He didn’t just love me; he cherished me. He listened. He remembered the little thing how I took my tea, the songs I hummed when I was happy, the way I tucked my hair behind my ear when I was nervous. Every day, he showed me what it meant to be chosen, not just tolerated.I’d started applying for jobs, too. Kael encouraged me endlessly, never letting me doubt myself even when I felt unqualified. “You’re capable, Matea,” he’d say gently. “You’ve handled harder things than a job interview. You’ve survived a broken heart and kept going. That takes strength most people don’t have.”His belief in me slowly became my own. I practiced interviews in the evenings, and he’d sit across from me, nodding, aski

Chapter: Chapter 3MATEA’S POVThe days that followed unfolded in a soft, quiet rhythm I hadn’t known existed. No yelling. No waiting up late wondering where someone was. No walking on eggshells, terrified that one wrong word would set off a storm. Just… peace. Kael’s home became my sanctuary — warm, gentle, and filled with a kind of quiet respect I’d never been given before.He never made me feel like a burden. Never asked when I was leaving. Never made me feel like I owed him anything. Instead, he’d leave a fresh cup of tea on the kitchen table beside me while I worked on my resume. He’d ask about my day really ask and listen like every word mattered. He’d notice when I was quiet, when my eyes looked distant, when Jace’s cruel words crept back into my mind, and he’d say something so simple yet so powerful it would ground me instantly.“You’re not ordinary, Matea. Don’t let anyone ever convince you that you are.”But old habits died hard. Some nights, I’d wake up gasping — remembering the way Jace look

Chapter: Chapter 2MATEA'S POVHis words hung in the air "Wherever you're going... you don't have to go there alone"and for the first time in hours, in days, in what felt like forever, I didn't feel invisible. I didn't feel small. I just... felt seen.I wiped my cheek quickly, embarrassed that he was seeing me like this red-eyed, messy-haired, suitcase in hand, looking like my whole world had just crumbled. Which, honestly, it had."I'm... I'm fine" I said, though my voice was still thick with tears. "Thank you for catching me. I wasn't looking where I was going"He didn't let go of my arms right away. His hands were large, warm, steady the complete opposite of everything I'd known lately. His dark eyes searched mine, gentle but unwavering, like he could see right through the lies I was telling myself."You're not fine" he said softly, but there was no judgment in it. No mockery. Just truth. "And that's okay. You don't have to be fine right now."Something in his tone - the kindness, the quiet understa

Chapter: Chapter 1MATEA’S POVThe air in our apartment felt heavy, suffocating thick with the silence we’d been avoiding for weeks. I stood by the window, my hands clasped tightly together, watching the streetlights flicker on one by one. Every second felt like an hour. Every breath felt like I was inhaling glass.He walked in, slamming the door behind him loud, angry, as if just being here was a burden he couldn’t carry anymore. He didn’t look at me. He didn’t even acknowledge that I was standing right there. He tossed his keys onto the table, ran a hand through his hair, and started unbuttoning his shirt like he couldn’t wait to get out of his own skin.“Where were you?” I asked, my voice quiet, trembling despite how hard I tried to steady it. “It’s two in the morning again, Jace. This is the fourth time this week”He stopped, his back still to me, and let out a sharp, bitter laugh. “Here we go again. Always the questions, Matea. Always the accusations. Can’t you ever just let me breathe?”“I’m not a

Chapter: Chapter 5SAR IELLE PovTatlong araw angblumipas at wala na siyang ibang sinabi. Hindi niya binanggit ang gabing iyon sa pasilyo. Hindi niya inamin ang lahat ng inilahad — ang kahinaan, ang takot, ang pag-amin na pinoprotektahan niya ako habang pinalalayo. Bumalik siya sa pagiging kilala ko: malamig, malayo, nag-uutos mula sa kanyang mesa, hindi mabasa ang mukha. Ngunit may nagbago. Nararamdaman ko ito. Kapag iniabot niya sa akin ang tasa, hindi na sadyang makamig ang pagdikit ng kanyang mga daliri hslos hindi na niya ako hinahawakan, tila takot na baka sa isang dampi pa ay tuluyan na siyang bumigay. Kapag nagkikita kami sa pasilyo, mas mabilis siyang lumayo ng tingin, ngunit hindi bago magtagal ang kanyang paningin — naghahanap, nagtatanong, puno ng pagsisisi.Naghintay akong magsalita siya. Upang magpaliwanag. Upang sabihin kung anong dilim ang itinatago niya. Ngunit walang salitang lumabas. Sa halip, lalo siyang tumahimik. Bumaba ang kanyang pagkain. Nanatili siya sa pag-aaral hanggang alas-

Chapter: Chapter 4SARIELLE POVAng katahimikang iniwan niya ay mabigat at tila nakasakal. Nakatayo ako sa papalubog na liwanag habang lumalamig ang pagkaing nasa mesa, at sa unang pagkakataon mula nang pumirma ako sa kasunduan, naramdaman ko ang isang bagay na mas matalas pa sa sakit — ang kalinawan. Sinabi niya sa akin ang totoo sa kanyang sariling paraan, marahas man ito. Walang naghihintay sa likod ng pader. Hinahabol ko lamang ang anino.Gayunman, sumapit ang umaga at gumising pa rin ako nang ikalima. Mas mahirap basagin ang nakasanayan kaysa sa pangako. Muli kong isinuot ang simpleng kulay-abong damit ang nagtutugma sa kulay ng dingding — at naghanda ng kanyang kape nang eksakto sa paraang gusto niya. Inilagay ko ito sa labas ng kanyang pinto, kumatok nang mahina, at tumalikod bago pa siya magbukas. Bago pa niya ako tignan nang walang nakikita kundi ang aking pagkukulang.“Sarielle.”Ang aking pangalan binanggit nang mababa at matalas — ay tumigil sa akin ang paglakad. Lumingon ako nang dahan-daha

Chapter: Chapter 3SARIELLE POVAng mga linggo ay tila naging walang katapusang buwan, at sa bawat araw, lalo kong naramdaman kung gaano kaliit ang aking halaga sa kanyang mundo. Gumigising ako bago sumapit ang ikalima — bago pa man sumikat ang araw at hindi ako tumitigil hangga't hindi siya nagkukulong sa kanyang pag-aaral o sa kanyang malamig at walang laman na silid. Pinakikintab ko ang sahig hanggang makita ko ang sarili kong malungkot na repleksyon. Pinapakinis ko ang bawat kagamitan hanggang wala nang alikabok. Natutunan ko ang eksaktong paraan ng pagtimpla ng kanyang kape — isang kutsarang asukal, itim, mainit, hindi mahina, hindi matapang at naghihintay ako sa labas ng kanyang pinto, nanginginig sa bawat sandaling maaari niya akong tawagin. Pinaplantsa ko ang kanyang mga damit hanggang maging perpekto, dahil natutunan ko agad: kahit kaunting kulubot, hindi siya kakausap sa akin nang ilang araw. Ibinabalik niya ang damit, hindi mabasa ang mukha, at sasabihing,"Gawin mo ulit. At huwag kang maging

Chapter: Chapter 2SARIELLE POVNaghalo-halo ang mga araw matapos iyon. Gumigising ako bago pa sumikat ang araw, tulad ng sinumang katulong. Pinapakintab ko ang sahig hanggang magmukhang salamin, inihahanda ang kanyang pagkain nang eksakto sa nais niya, pinapakinis ang kanyang mga damit hanggang wala nang kulubot, at naghihintay — laging naghihintaysa kanyang pag-uwi.Hindi niya ako tinitingnan bilang higit pa sa mga kamay na nagpapatakbo sa kanyang buhay.Isang gabi, nakatayo ako sa pasilyo, nagtutupi ng mga kumot, nang pumasok siya kasama ang isang babae sa kanyang bisig — maganda, tumatawa, mukhang kabilang sa kanyang mundo. Natigilan ako, niyakap ang tupi ng kumot sa aking dibdib.Hindi siya huminto. Hindi niya ako ipinakilala. Hindi man lang niya ako pinansin.Tumingin ang babae sa akin at nagtanong, “Kaelus, sino siya?”Hindi man lang lumingon sa akin nang sumagot siya, “Isa sa mga tauhan. Huwag mo siyang pansinin.”Isa sa mga tauhan.Mas matindi pa sa sampal ang tatlong salitang iyon. Tumayo ako

Chapter: Chapter 1SARIELLE POVSumandal siya sa kanyang upuan, pinagtatspar ang dulo ng kanyang mga daliri, at tiningnan ako na tila ba isa lamang akong bagay na kanyang binili.“Inaakala mo bang kasal ito, Sarielle?” Mababa, malamig, at tumatarak na parang patalim ang kanyang tinig “Huwag kang magpakaloko. Hindi kita pinakasalan dahil naghahangad ako ng asawa. Pinakasalan kita dahil may utang ang pamilya ninyo sa akin, at ikaw na lamang ang natitira nilang maibigay”Nanginginig ang aking mga kamay sa ibabaw ng aking kandungan. “Kung gayon… bakit mo pa tinatawag na asawa mo ako?”“Dahil ito ay maginhawa” tumayo siya at lumapit sa akin. Tumigil siya ilang pulgada lamang ang layo, nakatayong mataas sa akin, matigas at hindi nagpapatinag ang kanyang tingin. “Inaasahan ng mundo na mayroon akong asawa. At ikaw… kailangan mo ng salapi upang hindi mawala ang lahat ng pamilya ninyo. Isang simpleng kasunduan lamang ito. Wala nang iba”“Iyon lang ba ang halaga ko sa iyo?” Halos pabulong ko na lamang nasabi. “Isa
