BUT ONLY LOVE CAN TELL (ENGLISH VERSION) Chapter 16
Chapter 16Marinel's POV I’VE BEEN holding back my tears for a while now. I clearly saw my cousin holding Enzo’s hand earlier. And they looked so happy together. I grew more anxious. What if they’re really back together? What if everything’s settled between them? I took a deep breath. I also noticed that both Nica and Andy had been suppressing their emotions—anger, maybe—and I didn’t know why."This is so annoying! My God!" Veronica exclaimed. "This is ridiculous!" Andy added. "Andy, there’s—" I didn’t get to finish what I was going to say because Enzo suddenly appeared in front of us. Nica and Andy immediately went quiet."Can I talk to you, Nel?" he asked. I stood up."Of course, I also have something to say," I replied.I wanted to tell him everything before it was too late. I walked ahead and stopped in front of a small hut, just far enough from the others."Enzo, I just wanted to—" I was cut off when he suddenly hugged me."Nel, thank you for doing that for me. I really owe yo

Chapter 17Marinel's POV I’VE BEEN staring at the ceiling for three hours now. I don’t even have any tears left to cry. So this is what it feels like to fall in love for the first time. That kind of pain that consumes you just because you feel something for someone. What’s even worse is that he loves someone else. I thought love was supposed to be all happiness, but once you start to feel it—that’s when your suffering begins.“Nel…” I heard Nica call from outside our room.“Come in…” I replied hoarsely. Her eyes were teary, and she hugged me immediately.“How are you feeling?” she asked.“Like I’m dying. I want to move on already,” I answered. She suddenly hit me lightly on the head.“Move on? Move on from what? How can you move forward when there was never an us?” I chuckled a little at what she said. She had a point. That’s the painful part—because there never was an “us.” I leaned back against the headboard.“Nica, I don’t want to feel like this anymore,” I said.“You know what, N

Chapter 18Marinel's POV NICA and I laughed over our old memories. Andy joined in with our silliness too. But no matter how much I laughed and smiled, the pain was still there. I almost hugged Enzo earlier when I found out something bad happened to him. I’m such an idiot!"Nel, we need to talk," Enzo suddenly appeared in front of us."Uh-oh, Nel, Doc Arellano gave us another task!" Veronica suddenly said, dragging Andy with her."Hey! Why me too?" Andy protested.Nica just smacked him on the head, and they both walked away. Enzo quickly pulled me toward his car. His grip on my arm hurt, but I didn't say anything. We drove in silence. I was nervous around him."Nel, what did you do? Why did you do that?" he asked, clearly trying to keep his voice down."What are you talking about?" I asked, confused. He suddenly slammed the steering wheel, startling me even more."Will you please tell me! What's your problem?!" he yelled. That was it. My blood boiled."Is this about Moana again?!" I y

Chapter 19Marinel's POV I WAS AWAKENED by the loud knocking on the door of the room I was occupying."Nel! Come out!" I frowned at the voice I heard.What could my wonderful cousin be angry about now?! I walked quickly to the door to open it."What—"I immediately held my cheek after she slapped me."You're such a flirt!" she accused."I'm not a flirt!" I answered back boldly."Yeah, right!? You ruined my chance to be with him again! What kind of cousin are you?" I felt like I was about to explode from all her accusations."Now I'm the one at fault? Who lied between us? Who always pushed him away? Who made him look like a fool and gave him false hope? Wasn’t it you who did all of that? So don’t put the blame on me like you’re always the one on the right. The world doesn’t revolve around you!" I shot back.She was about to slap me again, but I blocked it."Don’t push me to fight you because I might stop seeing you as my cousin," I warned. She pulled her hand back."We’re not done yet

Chapter 20Calvin Enzo POVI’VE BEEN watching her every move for a while now. I’m so mesmerized by the way she moves. The way her cheeks turn red when she’s shy. Even if I stare at her all day, I’ll never get tired of it. I was so wrong to suppress what I felt for her. Instead of avoiding hurting her, I only made it worse. But now, I want to make myself happy. I want to see her happy. I want to spend time with her. I don’t want to waste any more precious time—we should be making memories together.“Enzo, what if someone has cancer? Do they need to undergo chemo right away?” she asked out of nowhere.That question caught me off guard.“Just read the following statements, Nel. It still depends on the doctor,” I replied and looked back at the book I was holding.That hit me right in the chest. I glanced at Nel again. She was still busy reviewing.“Nel, do you want some snacks?” I offered.“Up to you,” she replied. I snuck a kiss on her cheek before quickly standing up.She looked shocked

Chapter 21Calvin Enzo POVGOD! I almost slipped earlier. I’m glad I managed to hide it. I was so nervous that Nel might notice. Thankfully, she didn’t press me further. My conscience can’t take it if she finds out the truth. I’d only end up hurting the woman I love the most—and I don’t want that to happen. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep this secret from her.“Enzo…” Nel called as we drove. I glanced at her and looked back at the road.“Hmm?” She intertwined her left hand with my right hand.“I love you so much.” My heart melted at her words.“I do love you very much, Nel,” I replied.“Enzo, I want to ask you something.”“Name it, Nel,” I said.“No more lying and keeping secrets. I know I don’t really have the right to ask this but…”“I’m cool with it,” I said confidently.Even if, deep inside, I was falling apart. How could I make that promise, sweetheart? How?“Really? You’re okay with it?” I nodded.She gave me the sweetest smile I’ve ever seen. And my conscience hit me right in

Chapter 22Calvin Enzo POVHERE we are at the park where Nel and I played with the skateboard last time, when we tried to... You know, when I acted like an idiot. Nah! Let’s forget about that. Moana and I are definitely over, even though she always tries to bug me.“Enzo!” Nel called me while riding the skateboard.I just waved at her. I’m not allowed to overexert myself anymore, but I show her that I’m doing fine. I was really nervous yesterday because it just so happened that I was with her. I’m scared she’ll find out the truth. The guilt is killing me. Making her believe I’m completely fine is like a dagger buried in my chest. My illness is killing me slowly. Sometimes, I blame God for why this happened to me—why it had to be me, why I have to leave someone behind, why it still hurts so much even though I’ve accepted it for a long time. Maybe it’s time for me to settle things now.“You don’t want to?” Nel said as she stopped in front of me.“I enjoyed just watching you,” I answered

Chapter 23 Marinel’s POVWHEN we got to the parking lot, I was gripping my pencil so tightly I almost snapped it. What is she doing here?! I froze mid-step, causing Enzo to stop too and look at me. “Nel, I’ll explain later.” I didn’t say a word. I just walked straight to the car and sat in the front seat, silently.“Morning, cousin!” Moana greeted me cheerfully. I didn’t respond and turned my gaze outside the car. Enzo got in and started the engine.“Good luck on your exam, Babe,” Moana flirted with him. Even though I wasn’t looking, I noticed Enzo didn’t respond. I bit my lip hard. I was fuming. I wanted to cry at everything happening. Is this what he meant by ‘nothing important’? Well, it’s important to me! What did she do this time to get Enzo to give in again? I took a deep breath. I know I don’t have the right to act this way because Enzo and I don’t exactly have a label. We agreed that love isn’t defined by status. But still—there’s something about having a clear hold on some

Chapter 37Caldwill Enzo POV“WHAT did I do wrong?” I turned to Ivan with my hands on my hips.“I might say, sir, she’s not the type of woman who’s into these kinds of stuff,” he replied.I couldn’t help but get annoyed by her attitude earlier.“Just buy it all, Ivan, and put them somewhere safe,” I ordered, then headed up the stairs.I stopped in front of Marinel’s room.Should I knock?Damn! Why can’t I decide!I shook my head and knocked without thinking twice. The door opened, and I noticed she had been crying based on her red and puffy eyes. Guilt suddenly crept in. She was about to shut the door again, but I quickly pushed it open. She was surprised when I entered the room. She was about to say something, but I pulled her into my arms before she could. I let out a deep sigh.“I... I’m sorry,” I whispered.She slowly moved her arms and wrapped them around my waist. She started crying again. I could feel her sobs and her heavy breathing against my chest.Damn! It felt like my hear

Chapter 36Marinel's POV THE TRIP didn’t take long, and we soon arrived at SM Laguna. After he parked the car, he was the first to get out. I followed shortly after. I stood with my hands on my hips, staring at the mall entrance. What exactly are we doing here?Suddenly, Caldwill walked up to me and wrapped an arm around my waist. I gulped at his sudden closeness."Staring at it won’t make it melt," Caldwill said.I flinched as if I had been burned and immediately pushed his hand away from my waist. Come on, Nel! Your heart’s acting up again! I looked down, feeling like I’d just been slapped because my cheeks were burning hot."Let’s go..." he said as he guided and pulled me along.As we walked up to the second floor, I couldn’t help but glance at his hand holding mine. I probably looked weird, but every time he’s nice to me, it somehow makes me feel happy."Watch your step!" I heard Caldwill say.Before I could reply, he quickly grabbed me by the waist and lifted me slightly. That s

Chapter 35Caldwill Enzo POVI RAN after Marinel, but I was too late—she was already inside her room. What did I do!? I was about to knock, but I chose to just leave her be. I massaged my temple and scratched the back of my neck. I was just joking around that time, but she suddenly cried, and I don’t even know the exact reason why she reacted that way. I don’t know if it was because of the joke or something else. But when I looked into her eyes… there was something.I had no choice but to go to my room and sit at the edge of my bed. I took my phone out of my pocket and called Andy.“Bro...” he answered, clearing his throat.“Come here,” I ordered.“Huh? Did you and Nel talk, Caldwill?” he asked.“Just come here...” I replied and ended the call.I threw myself onto the bed. Why do I feel so guilty? Damn it!I lay there for several minutes before deciding to get up and leave my room.“Sir, Andy is here, in the pool area,” Ivan informed me. I tapped his arm and headed down the stairs.“P

Chapter 34Caldwill Enzo POVI FEEL like punching a woman right now. Damn it! She’s been making me wait for so long! I told her to pack everything but here she is! Marinel’s luggage still isn't completely packed, she says."Are you done, Veronica? Because if not, I might just come back later," I said lazily.This woman is crazy! How is she supposed to finish packing when she keeps trying to act cute around me? And when she does manage to pack something, she throws in a little wiggle. Tss!I shook my head slightly."Just a moment, Caldwill, this is really the last one," she said.I stood up from where I was sitting and silently walked out. I whistled, and my driver immediately ran up to me."Get the stuff!" I ordered irritably.I marched straight to my car. Damn that woman! I wasted almost half an hour just waiting for her to finish!I got inside the car and noticed that my driver had already loaded Marinel's belongings."Hurry up, Damian. I’m already so late!" I said, feeling restless

Chapter 33Marinel's POV I WAS fuming and stormed my way to his garage.“Caldwill! Hey! Open this door!” I shouted while pounding on the car window. “What the hell!? Get down here! Hey!” I hit the car door again. Ugh! This isn’t right! Why does he even have to take care of me? I’m not a kid! And he won’t even get our marriage annulled!“Hey—” I stopped hitting the door when the window rolled down.“You know what, sunshine? You are really annoying.” He even winked at me before putting on his sunglasses and suddenly pinching the tip of my nose. He turned the steering wheel and drove off, disappearing from my sight. All I could do was close my mouth that had been hanging open just a moment ago.“You’re such an idiot, Nel! Ugh!”Frustrated, I yanked at my own hair before heading back inside the house. Left with no choice, I sat down on his fancy sofa and crossed my arms. We were so close! I almost pulled it off!“Ma’am...” I looked up. A housemaid appeared, carrying a glass of milk, a

Chapter 32Caldwill Enzo POVI HASTILY drove the car into the garage when we got back to my mansion. I got out first and didn’t even bother to open the door for her. Nah! Just a waste of time treating her like a princess. "Ouch!" I heard her yelp. I glanced at her briefly. She just bumped her head into a hanging flower pot. "So clumsy," I muttered irritably and headed straight inside the house. "Ivan!" I called out when I didn’t see him. "Sir," he answered, making me turn to look behind me. "Where have you been?!" I asked, irritated. I was not in the mood at all. "Sorry, sir. I was just checking if the maids had already prepared the guest room for your wife," he explained briefly. I just smirked and walked upstairs. But I paused and looked back down the stairs, frowning when I saw her talking to Ivan. "Marinel!" I called. She looked at me and immediately followed. "Will you quit moving like a turtle," I snapped, grabbing her left hand. She suddenly froze. "What!?" I snappe

Chapter 31Marinel's POV I COULDN’T stop crying when I got back to the apartment I was renting. It’s only now that everything Andy said about the marriage between me and Caldwill finally sank in. I couldn’t accept that they actually pulled this stunt. I was insulted by what Caldwill did, and even Nica—my best friend—kept it a secret from me. I didn’t have the slightest clue this would happen. It’s so painful to think… Why this way? I’m not that desperate to find someone to love me. They took away my right to choose who I would love.With a heavy heart, I pulled out the laptop from my drawer, along with the tape Andy gave me. I didn’t know what it contained, but I had to watch it. I inserted the tape and waited for it to play. I stared at the monitor for a few seconds, wiping my tears. My hand flew to cover my mouth when I saw Enzo’s room on the screen. I couldn’t hold back my tears again. He looked alive right in front of me. I missed him so much. The pain of losing him came rushing

Chapter 30Marinel's POV I SLAMMED myself onto my bed. Mrs. Pipay was at it again."Hey Nel! Pay your water bill! I’m about to get cut off because of you! And your rent too!" she nagged.I ignored her since I was still changing clothes. But I suddenly paused—Mrs. Pipay had gone quiet. Why did she suddenly stop? I shrugged it off and fixed my hair.Once I saw in the mirror that I looked presentable, I walked to the door and opened it without much interest. I frowned—Mrs. Pipay wasn’t outside my door."Hi handsome!" shrieked one of the tenants—someone I knew to be a flirt.I looked down the stairs and was shocked to see Caldwill being swarmed by our neighbors. From what I could tell, he was even chatting with that flirt. I immediately ran downstairs and got between them."Enzo... I mean, Caldwill, what are you doing here?" I asked, confused.He smirked and sneered at me."There you go, my sunshine! I've been waiting for you to come out," he said, pulling me close. I clung to his arm—hi

Chapter 29Marinel’s POVMY JAW dropped at what I heard from Enzo. Enzo has a twin? But Enzo never mentioned having a twin while he was still alive. Even Andy never mentioned anything like that. I didn't even see him attending Calvin Enzo's burial, only his parents but I didn't even get a chance to meet them as well.“You’re really his twin? As in, you’re not a ghost?” I asked again.I just wanted to make sure it was true that he was Enzo’s twin. I was overjoyed earlier when I saw him alive, but at the same time, I was filled with fear. My emotions were all over the place the moment I saw him, and that’s probably why I suddenly fainted. When I saw him, all the memories I had with Enzo came flooding back. The happy days we shared, and even the pain of his loss, all hit me at once. Tears welled up in my eyes as I looked at him. Even though his brows were furrowed, I couldn’t deny that they looked exactly alike. Even his stance was the same. His hair may have been longer, but it didn’t t
