"Kendall, break up with Jacobo. I swear, if you choose me over him, you won't regret a single thing. I am single and not married. I am all yours, you have no rival." But I guess Kendall is really a stubborn girl."Mom, I'm sure they don't see each other anymore. Dad must be busy with his work, and it's only six PM. Wait for him until seven. I'll call him for you, so stop worrying. Alright?" I told Mommy. Fortunately, she stopped crying and agreed to what I said. Sigh.Mommy is getting more stressed because of Kendall and Dad, and I really-really need to do something. The doctor said that it's bad for Mom's health to get stressed, and she should avoid it, but she can't help it because she always gets paranoid when Dad comes home late.I need to keep Kendall occupied, and if it means I have to be with her most of the time, then so be it. I know it sounds weird, but being with her feels so good. Damn. I think it's getting serious. I should hate her, right? She's Dad's mistress. She's a f
EndingI didn't know what to say to Aiden. I was happy and hurting at the same time. Happy because I could feel and hear Aiden's endless love for me, and hurting because I needed to be with Arden."I'm sorry, Aiden, you can't change my mind. Arden... Arden needs me more than you do."When I looked at the left side of my body, I noticed there was a cast from my fingers down to my arm. That's why I was in so much pain earlier; I had broken a bone! What's going to happen now? How am I going to go to school? How will I manage my daily routine with a broken left hand? And I'm left-handed!"But when I received Mia's call, I also left the site immediately to see you," Ero said without pause."This is nothing... just a small accident," I replied. I noticed Ero's eyebrows furrow and a hint of annoyance in his response, as if he was about to explode in anger."If it was just a small accident, why are you here in the hospital? Have you seen your hand? Why is it in a cast? Why didn't Manang Ameli
"So, do you finally believe in forever?" Selena asked me. I rolled my eyes at her."Oh come on! I have an engagement ring now!" Samantha replied, looking all giddy."When's the wedding?" Ariana chimed in."Oh, you three, just leave me alone." I responded to them. Ariana grabbed my hair, as she often did ever since I cut my hair short."You should grow your hair long before you get married." Ariana suggested."Good idea, Ari. It'll be a new look. You've had that style for two years now." Samantha added."So, how did he propose to you?" Selena asked, and I couldn't help but smile and burst into laughter."You know, it's weird when someone proposes after sex, right?" I said to Kenzo as we hugged. I was sitting on his lap, and he rested his head on my shoulder."Kylie, seriously! I told you, I don't have sex, I make love. Besides, I didn't know if you wanted a romantic proposal or not. You never gave me any clues, and you always surprise me, so I thought it was the right time to ask for a
"Kylie, daughter.. they said you should join us for dinner later, according to your Daddy. Ma'am Aria is already here." I nodded in response to what our housekeeper, Manang Renee, said and then I went straight into my room and locked it.I can't believe it! I am on the same roof with the three of them, Jiro, Aria, and.. Kent, and I am sure that I am also breathing the same air as them. I sigh. Should I join them for dinner? I don't know what to do. I took out my phone from my pocket and texted Kenzo."They're back, and Dad wants me to eat dinner with them later." Then I hit send, and it didn't take long before I received a reply from Kenzo."Do you want me to go there and fetch you?" I don't know. I really, really don't know. I don't even know what to do. I feel so hopeless; all I can think about is Kent and Aria being back! And thinking about them being so sweet later at the dining table makes me even more hopeless.It took me a while to come up with a reply to Kenzo until he called
Silence filled the whole dining room, maybe even our breathing was too shy to disturb the profound silence, that's why I couldn't hear it. My gaze kept shifting between the engagement ring and.. Kent. NO! What I mean is.. uhh.. to.. to Aria and the engagement ring, I sighed, and then returned to my seat."So you're engaged?" Jiro was the first to break the silence. I nodded."Is she?" Aria asked, this time directing her attention to Kenzo. She immediately caught my irritation. I felt a surge of annoyance within me. It seemed like she wanted to take Kenzo away from me as well. I gripped my spoon and fork tighter, and without thinking twice--"Why? Do you also want to steal him from me?" I asked her without any concern. I met her gaze, and I clearly saw the surprise in her eyes. She quickly looked away and focused on her food."Kylie," Dad called me. Maybe he's trying to stop me from whatever--"I am just asking.." she replied softly."Kylie, my dear, why didn't you even tell us, Daddy
"Baby, enough. I am here.. for you," Kenzo said to me as he handed me a glass of water, but I just shook my head and looked down at my feet."Come on, it'll help you feel better. You've been crying for so long. Look at how small your eyes have become," he remarked, wiping away my tears. I hugged him tightly."Why is it like this.. why, Kenzo? Just a few simple words from her and it hurts so much?" He cupped my face and pressed our foreheads together."Baby, because we both know that you still love her deeply." Kenzo said sadly."It's tiring to love her. I'm so tired of getting hurt.""But I'm here for you. Just love me instead." And then Kenzo's voice cracked. "I will never leave you, and I will never marry anyone else. I'll only marry you.""If only.. if only I could have loved you a long time ago. Maybe I wouldn't have just asked for an engagement ring from you, but we would have been married already. But, Kenzo, he left me and took everything, including my heart, when he left with
"Kylie, my child.." Mommy greeted me as she saw us entering the entrance with Kenzo. It's already eight-thirty in the evening, and we're thirty minutes late."Thank goodness you're here. Daddy and I have been waiting for you." She kissed my cheek and greeted Kenzo as well. We both smiled at Mommy.There were many guests, and everyone seemed busy chatting with one another. I only knew a few people, the three witches Ariana, Selena, and Samantha, accompanied by three guys. They're probably on a date. Well, "landi-landi din pag my time" seems to be their motto.Mommy led us to the table where Kent and Daddy were sitting, but Jiro and Aria were not there. I didn't bother asking where they were. It's better that they're not here. At least I don't have to interact with Aria.Both Daddy and Kenzo nodded at each other, and of course, being the kind person he is, Kenzo greeted Kent as well, to which Kent simply nodded in response. Soon, the waiter arrived and served wine in Kenzo's glass and t
Beginning"Oh my goodness! This is exactly what I've been saying!" Mikan said, annoyed. "Why do you still refuse to break up with that Jiro? What does he have?""M, it's normal for lovers to have disagreements," I replied calmly."K, he's always the one causing issues. Aren't you tired of it?" Selena asked me. I shook my head. "I understand him, girls. Sometimes I'm moody too. Maybe his temper just flared up at the wrong time."I've been defending Jiro to them since we started dating in my second year of high school, and now we're in our fourth year of college. We had another argument recently, and I've been apologizing to him since the other day, even though I didn't know what I did wrong. But he hasn't been answering any of my texts or calls.So tonight, even though I didn't want to go with them to the Spade Club, I had no choice because they dragged me along. I just hope Jiro doesn't find out about this because he doesn't like it when I go clubbing without him. It might make him ev
