Morning, they say, is a new hope and a new beginning. But not for me.

I was awake for the entire night, staring at the wall opposite the bed while my back was leaning against the headboard. When Levi brought me back last night, I didn't sleep anymore. My eyes were tired but all I could do was yawn and keep them open, staring at the wall dumbfounded.

I'm tired.

My eyelids are very heavy but I'm afraid if I sleep, I'll forget Levi and what happened last night, thinking it's just a dream. I slowly raised my finger to my lips. I can still feel the heat of his kiss as we stood at the entrance of the door.

"Levi," I said. I slid my hand from his shoulder down to his chest and my palm stayed there.

He rubbed my back several times, and sometimes he put his hand in the side -- looking for an entrance into my dress. He let go of me and caught his breath. "Rishel..."

I drew a breath again and again. I grabbed the

    I didn't give him a chance to swear on me. I quickly ended the call. But as I expected, my world would not be quiet because I received calls one after another from my parents, Lyndon, Tiden, and unknown numbers whose owner I did not know.I sighed and turned off the phone. I don't want to entertain their questions right now. I was not being irresponsible but I was tired of explaining over and over again. I know that they won't stop until they hear what they want to hear from me. I just want to give my full attention to Klo who is happily looking around the ocean park.I decided to take him to the famous tourist spot in the city with his nanny who is following behind us. I didn't worry that someone might recognize me because I wore a mask and a bullcap. Also, the park is underwater so the dim neon light is what lits up the place. People won't see clearly my facial features."Mom, a dolphin!" Klo happily pointed at the big dolphin that was swimming abov

    My eyes narrowed and quickly called Lyndon. "Have you seen the news?" I asked."Yes. I have already ordered my staff to take care of it. Don't worry."Huh. He can take it down but people will still gossip in social media. What's the difference? I sighed and was about to hang up when he asked. "Where's my son?"That's when I remembered what we talked about at the restaurant. My vision darkened and I quickly ended the call. Rishel, why did you forget?I thought the issue would subside after a few days but a week has passed but my face is still in the headlines. Even the issues that caused me to flee the country have once again surfaced in the media. They also didn't miss the gigs I did with Vine and my idol days back then.I suspected at first that there was a hand moving the media but my suspicion deepened when information about me and Rei suddenly appeared. No one knows publicly about the relationship I had with that man so I know s

    There was silence, and Lyndon cleared his throat. "When did you find out?"I clenched my fists and smiled wryly at him. "My son got his looks from you. Am I that stupid to not suspect? Also, you're too good to be true. Still wanting to marry a ruined woman?" I chuckled. "But even if I noticed it too late, I still want to ask why did you deceive me? Why did you make me believe you didn't know who you were? You made me look stupid, Lyndon!"He stared at me for a few seconds before looking away. "Do you have evidence that he is my child?"My eyes darkened at his question and I quickly took out the DNA result inside my handbag. I threw it right in his face. "I came home to the country just to see the results of the DNA test in person. Still wanna deny the truth?"After he read what was written, he took down the result and looked at me again. My mood only got worse when he didn't even say a word. "What? Are you not going to say anything?"

    "Rishel, is there a problem? Lyndon told me you're ignoring him." Mama's eyebrows met. "Tell me what's wrong."I looked at Mama for a moment before looking back at the laptop on the center table and typing away. "I'm just busy, Ma. I'll call him next time," I said.Mama sighed. "That's what you always say. If you and Lyndon have a problem, talk about it. The wedding is next week and the engagement party will be held tomorrow. How will you treat your future husband if you don't get along?"I stopped typing and looked up at Mama. "We don't have a problem, Ma. Don't worry, I'll call him tomorrow.""You should, Rishel. You have been engaged for several years and you should make your relationship public, otherwise the board members will question your engagement to Lyndon."But I'm not ready to be tied to that man. I already knew he was Klo's father and he was certainly the one who bedded me that night, but why did he hide that truth from

  • For The Stars Have Sinned   Chapter 58: After five years

    After five years.It was sunny and clear that morning when I stepped off the plane from another country. But my eyebrows met when I saw a familiar face."Kervy? What are you doing here?" I wondered.It's been five years since I flew to another country. Now that the media was quiet, I decided to go home quietly. I just never thought that the last person I expected to see would stand in front of me.He didn't answer but looked at the boy standing in by my side. My grip on Klo's hand tightened and Kervy's eyes narrowed."Mommy? Who is he?" Klo asked.I looked down at Klo and smiled softly. "An old friend." I turned my attention back to Kervy. "If you don't need anything else, we'll go first."I was about to pass him but he caught my wrist. Looking up at him, I couldn't utter a word. It's been a few years since I last saw him, but nothing has changed in his appearance except that he has become more mature looking.

    He looked dark but I knew his anger was not directed at me so I was relieved. "Thank goodness you're here!" I cheerfully said and sat down.He attended to me quickly. "Let's go," he said and picked me up in his arms.I screamed in shock and looked at his face very close. My heart beat fast and both cheeks got hot. I looked away when he looked at me."Where are you going to take me?" I asked.I noticed that he was careful when he walked to the fire exit with me in his arms. After a while, we got out of the building and the fresh night air gently hit my face. The tension in both my shoulders disappeared and I leaned my head on Lyndon's shoulder."Thank you," I whispered softly."What did he do to you?" he asked."I just passed out for two days.""Two days?" Lyndon's aura grew darker. "Rishel, you've been missing for two weeks! I can't find you." His jaw clenched. "And I will know that you're in the hospital?"
