For The Stars Have Sinned

I know a lot of women who love to get involved in life with life, but only now have I met a man who is not only nosy but also weird and rude.My gaze cast down on my wristwatch. It is three o’clock in the afternoon. Dad is not in the office yet and the man who is sitting in the visitor’s lair has no plans to leave.Earlier I was standing beside the water dispenser near the door. I didn’t want to go near Papa’s big table because in front of it was sitting the weird man who had been glaring at me since I got inside the office.How can I get rid of him?I look at the window. There is a bonsai pot there. If I slap him in the face with it, will he excuse himself? When I looked at the large wooden table, I saw a large binder. Such a perfect thing for smacking his face full of resentment in the world. It’s been a while since I’ve had someone glare at me.“Do you need something other than falsely accusing me of a victimless crime?” I asked him.It was only at that moment he averted his gaze.

I pursed my lips and took a step back to Larica’s shipyard just a few meters away from the private dock. Lyndon was just following behind and I had no plans to talk to him. I was thankful that he was silent even though it was awkward.When the wind blew, I hugged myself. The coolness of the breeze at dusk is not for nothing, but he placed a warm jacket around my shoulder and my teeth stopped chattering instantly. I simply turned to the side and saw the side view of his face.The sun was setting in the west and the soft rays touched the tip of his nose. From the angle I could see, it was as if the dim rays of the sun painted Lyndon’s face, tracing his side profile which made him look ethereal.I looked away and sighed. He has the looks but the attitude… err nevermind.A few minutes later, I took a step into the shipyard. Here is the place where ships used for sailing are repaired.It was one of Larica Shipment’s properties and it is not far from the shipping port where the center of bu

The next day, Gerard drove me to Argao. I told Papa that there was no need but he didn’t listen. I snorted. It’s better to take a jeep to the University.I leaned my head on the headrest and folded my arms, looking out the window. The surroundings are still dark and the wind’s chilly against my bare skin. It was dawn and the cold was keeping me awake.“Miss, did you bring the one in the back?” Gerard asked.I glanced at him for a moment before looking back outside the window. “Is there a problem?”“Nothing, Miss.” He closed his eyes for a moment before snorting. “I’ve noticed these past few days that you don’t bring anything heavy to University. It’s just surprising now.”My brows raised as my eyes squinted. “Don’t worry about it anymore, okay?”I then blinked and folded my arms. A few minutes later, the car passed the crime scene. I saw the yellow cross line on the main road of Arbor. I bit my lower lip.It’s been two months since the rumored crime took place in Baranggay Arbor. They

He raised his eyebrows at what I said. After a while, the corner of his lips twitched and he laughed. “We’ll see, Rishel… We’ll see,” he said before walking away. I clenched my fists and glared at the bird flying over the waves. The bird turned to me and broke its wing. The bird cried before it dived under the waves. And I was supposedly sympathetic to that little thing but I couldn’t. I still thought of Lyndon’s words about the prior murder case in Argao because I was there. I AM CURRENTLY reading CareLikeGoldFish’s work. The book is a mystery-thriller and even without romance, I couldn’t stop reading it whole because the scenes are so familiar, it’s like I’ve seen them before. Just like the scene where the main character shot his friend. It’s the same as what I saw there in Boljoon two months ago. WiFi suddenly died. I blinked and came out of the room with a dark expression. I was about to go straight to the kitchen because I knew Mama was the one with the plan, but suddenly I he

I ignored that strange feeling. I got out of the car and looked around the resort.Club Fort Med is a resort located at Arbor, the same barangay as El Grande Lat. Not too simple and not too flashy just enough for a quiet weekend. The edge of my lips curled up.I looked up at the large wooden placard on which the name of the resort was engraved. It was my first time being with the Vine. It’s scary but also exciting.I saw that Tiden was already inside the resort so I followed. He went straight to a modernized restaurant that was slightly elevated than the rest of the resort. He went inside and sat in a chair next to a large glass wall where I could see the entire resort.‘Not bad,’ I thought.I sat in the chair opposite him and looked outside the glass wall. I saw the three pools of Club Fort Med which the resort’s known for.There was a small round table between us and a small blooming cactus in the center planted in a small pot. A bonsai plant. I took the menu that was on the table a
