Chapter 9Marinel's POV AFTER a few minutes, our professor arrived. He handed out books and returned to the front."Okay guys, I need you to study what’s written in those textbooks because tomorrow, we’ll do a dry run on saving drowning victims—whether in the sea or a swimming pool. Those are just examples. Anyway, the person behind you, which is the second row, will be your partner. You’ll demonstrate it in pairs. So start practicing CPR," he explained.I froze at the word CPR. No way! Enzo’s behind me. I covered my face and stomped my foot. Can I skip this dry run?"Nel?" Enzo tapped me."What?" I replied, not really in the mood as I turned around."Let’s practice CPR," he said with a cheeky grin."Ha-ha-ha! Practice by yourself," I snapped.Oh my god! My precious lips!"Andy, go easy, okay?" I heard one of my classmates flirt."Sure. I got you," Andy replied flirtatiously. Enzo laughed behind me."Nel?" he called. I turned around."Are we good?" he asked, looking really cheerful.

Chapter 10Marinel's POV WE STAYED the night at the hotel. Enzo looked lifeless, with dull eyes. He just sat on the couch, deep in thought. I sat on the opposite couch."Enzo, that’s enough," I pleaded. He looked up at me."I love her," he said quietly.It felt like something stabbed me deep inside when he said that."Love? If she loved you back, she would’ve shown up, right? She doesn’t love you anymore! Don’t you get it?!" I shouted with pain in my voice."You don’t know what I felt! You don’t know anything!" he yelled back. I stood up."Yeah, you’re right! I don’t know anything about love. I don’t know how painful it is. But what I do know is this— you can’t force someone to love you again or bring back a love that’s clearly over," I said, grabbed my things, and left the suite.I ran to the elevator, and as soon as I got inside, the tears fell uncontrollably. I didn’t know why it affected me this much. Maybe I’m already in love with him. Is this what love feels like? I shook my he

Chapter 11Marinel's POV AFTER class, I excused myself early from Andy and Enzo because I had work.When I arrived at the coffee shop, I immediately went to change into my uniform.“Those attention-seekers are so annoying!” Aira muttered loud enough for me to hear.I exhaled heavily and ignored her. Ever since she found out that Enzo and I are classmates, her irritation toward me only worsened. I just shook my head and stepped out of the kitchen to take some orders.“Can I have a cheesecake, please? And a choco moist coffee,” a familiar voice said as I approached.“Andy?!” I blurted out in surprise.He just grinned at me. He was with another guy, but I couldn’t see his face because it was covered by a newspaper— he seemed engrossed in reading.“Apple pie and plain coffee, please?” I heard the guy say.When I realized it was Enzo, I asked, “What are you two doing here?”“I’m a regular here— unlike him,” Enzo replied with a smirk, gesturing with his lips toward Andy.“Is it wrong to vi

Chapter 12Marinel's POV IT FELT like it was my last day in this world. I honestly thought earlier that it was the end for me. Everything happened so fast. The last thing I remember was standing by the edge of the pool, about to practice, when someone suddenly pushed me. My left foot hit the pool rod just as I fell, causing me to lose focus and drown. I didn’t even see who pushed me. I turned to my side and saw Enzo with his head down, holding my left hand as I lay on the clinic bed. I slowly moved my hand, which made Enzo flinch and look at me. “Hey? How are you feeling?” he asked gently while stroking my hand. “I’m okay now. Thank you,” I said, teary-eyed with gratitude. “Anyone in your situation, I’d help,” he said, his face filled with deep concern—which I truly appreciated. “I’ll ask you some other time about what happened, but for now, you should rest.” I nodded at what he said. “How are you, Ms. Universe?” Andy suddenly appeared from behind him. I tried to sit up

Chapter 13Calvin Enzo POVI WAS just finishing packing my stuff. Only Andy and Nel were missing.“Oh jeez!” I muttered and yanked the sleeping bag off the floor.“Andy, wake up!” I shook his shoulder. Just like he said, he’s now living with me.“Damn it, I’m still asleep!” he grumbled. I tugged on the sleeping bag harder.“For crying out loud! We’re already late for the medical mission!” I snapped. That got him up in a flash, wearing only his briefs.“Dude!” I laughed and threw a pillow at him.“Hey! I’m pale all over—including what I eat for breakfast!” he shot back, striking a pose. I held my stomach from laughing too hard.“That’s what I like to see from you, bro,” he suddenly said seriously. I threw another pillow at him and just shook my head.“Hurry up, Andy. Nel’s waiting,” I reminded him and left the room.I flopped onto the couch with all my strength. Suddenly, I felt really unwell.“Fuck,” I heard Andy curse as he rushed over to help and tilted my head up.“Ugh!” I groaned

Chapter 14Marinel’s POVWE set up tents to give shade while we assisted patients.“Hi,” my cousin greeted me while I was busy unloading antibiotics.I gave her a quick, tight-lipped smile, though I was clearly annoyed.“So rude of you, Nel,” she said bitterly.“I’m busy. Can we talk later?” I said, trying to stay calm.This was the first time we’d spoken since our argument. I turned my back to her, but she suddenly grabbed my arm.“He’s mine, Nel,” she said firmly. I shook off her hand.“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I replied and walked away again.She’s unbelievable! She has the nerve to say that when she practically threw Enzo away. I was so upset I decided to walk around. I ended up at a small strawberry patch.“Would you like some?” an old woman harvesting strawberries offered.“Yes, please,” I replied quickly.I picked one, surprised to see it was conjoined.“Huh? What’s this? Is this a Forevermore TV Drama or something?” I joked. Remembering the drama I used to watc

Chapter 15Marinel’s POVI WANTED to pull Nica's hair. She got in the car first and even sat beside Andy. She’s really losing it."Nel," Enzo, who was sitting beside me, called. Andy and Nica were sitting up front. I turned to him."Why, Enzo?" I asked. He let out a deep sigh."Is it still okay to hope for her?" he said seriously but in a whisper.I felt a slight sting in my chest. I thought he was trying to forget my cousin. Why does it feel like he’s still hoping?"There’s nothing wrong with hoping. There’s also nothing wrong with being confused. The decision is still yours, Enzo," I replied.I felt like my heart was struggling."I hope this will be better," he said with a smile.I sighed. Why do I always end up like this?WHEN we arrived at Andy's favorite resort, we all went to get our rooms. Like Enzo said, he paid for everything. He's the rich guy after all."Oh my God! Nel! Our room is so nice!" Nica exclaimed excitedly."Is that so?!" I replied, annoyed.We were going to sleep

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 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
