Chapter 7: (Vows & Wedding)Achilles POV
I went home after the dinner; I was in the couch thinking of what had happen. I must admit a part of me was longing for her, but I can’t let go of Samantha, because what I have for Jupiter was uncertain, and I can’t afford the risk. Hindi ko alam kung nararamdaman ko lang ba to’ dahil matagal ko s’yang hindi Nakita at dahil sa katototohanang minahal ko s’ya o baka mahal ko pa nga yata s’ya. Hindi naman nagbago ang nararamdaman ko para sa kanya, but what about Sam? Right at this moment hindi ko madistinguish kung parehong klase ba nang pagmamahal ang nararamdaman ko para sa kanilang dalawa. The only thing that is certain for me now is, I want to be a father to Lucas. I don’t know if the incident at the restaurant made me realize that pero magsisisnungaling ako kung sasabihin ko na hindi ako nasasabik sa bata, I ‘am stChapter 8: (Man & Wife) The next day was unfamiliar; I was awakened by the smell of the food and as I open my eyes I was also in an unfamiliar room. I help myself to get up and find A-chi and Lucas at the kitchen. A-chi was cooking while Lucas was waiting for him at the dining table. He looks so good wearing an apron, seeing his back view was surely appetizing that I need to bite my lower lip, to keep myself from moaning. I was leaning at the kitchen door, when I got awaken by his voice.“ You were up already?” He asks as he give me a glance and get back to what he’s doing. I just nodded as a response.“Come here Ma… Sit here. Daddy is cooking breakfast for us.” I was so absorb by the sight of him, that I didn’t even notice how Lucas manages to get down from the chair, and later he was dragging me to sit beside him.
Chapter 9: Unspoken Jealousy Few days past since that Incident happen, the photo studio is already operating, and our first project was for a university event. Since it was a good chance to promote the studio, I decided to accept Chase proposal and not just that, Vincent really did arrive. Although he wasn’t a kind of person who likes to stay at one place, he has decided to stay for two months and help us out, just like today. I was helping as the crew set up the equipment to start the shoot, but then I find myself looking at both Chase and Vincent, they sure get along well knowing that the second doesn’t hesitate when Chase ask him to stay and help us for a while. Napailing nalang ako sa kanilang dalawa, they sure understand each other really well, they’re an annoying duo.“Hey! Will you stop looking at me like that.” It was Vincent.“
Chapter 10: Her Story I held my chest as soon as A-chi left. Pakiramdam ko napakalayo n’ya na, I’m starting to hate myself for being this way because I’m starting to doubt his feelings for me. Jupiter was exactly the opposite of the person that I ‘am. She always knows what’s her priority, while I was her shadow. The person she doesn’t like to get hurt, the person she cared so much. I feel the same way about her too, but she has so much in her, that I wanted to have. That is when I decided to embrace that shadow, I have become the person I never thought I’d become in order to blend in her world. I got involve in her circles of friends, her friends were mine too. Until, one day I realized my feelings for A-chi. He’s very vocal about her feelings with Jupiter that I kept myself in silent.FLAS
Chapter 11: Possession & Misunderstanding Jupiter's POV I've decided to jog the next day, as I needed some distraction. I called Chase to ask him na dalhin ang sasakyan ko, just so I can fix it. I wanted to keep myself busy to avoid having to talk with A-chi. The thing was I was not comfortable being around him since yesterday, even the thought of Samantha keeps on bothering me. Chase brings the car early today as he was also off to the studio, I told him that I'll be there with Lucas later, because he wanted to see him. I didn't bother to wake him up since it was too early. Thinking about Lucas, I’ve realized I haven’t seen Nanay Annie ever since we decided to leave with A-chi, I was wondering how is she? Even A-chi were not talking much about her, and it got me curious, I didn’t get a chance to see her ever since the day we came back. &nb
Chapter 12: Alone with YouAchilles POV Alam kong napakagulo nang sitwasyon naming dalawa at wala ako sa posisyon para masabing akin talaga s’ya, but I always find myself claiming she’s mine. We’re still married after all. It will be a lot easier if I could tell her that I still love her, but every time I get a chance to do so she’ll remind me of the reasons why we started this relationship. To me it was Samantha, to her It was Lucas. It was never about us and the fact that my pride will never allow me to confess to her. I’ve encounter so much rejection with her, and even loving her secretly were so hard. I look at her as she moves around taking pictures of the event. She looks stunning in her red dress, she still stood out, even in her simplest. She may not be aware of it but she’s beautiful, the crowd p
Chapter 13: AnxietyAchilles POV I didn’t get a chance to answer Jupiter’s question. Samantha was calling and when I answer it… I initially run may way to her, she was brought to the hospital overdose in pills. All thanks to her land lady who came to get her monthly rent, she keeps on knocking but no one is answering and when she tried to call her. She noticed that she was inside as her phone keeps on ringing, but she isn’t picking. I was dead worried what got into get to do such thing, I even forgot that Jupiter were her sister and needs to know what had happen, but I wasn’t thinking straight that I rush to see her without telling her. I wasn’t so sure if she was keeping something from me and I just realized that when Jupiter ask me as of how she is when she left
Chapter 14: FightAchilles POV I went out to go at the nurse station, as Samantha wants to change her bed cover because it is making her uncomfortable, when I saw them hugging each other. I realized one thing after seeing them like that. Ang sakit sakit, na iba ang taong nasa tabi n'ya, and I can't accept the fact na hindi ako ang taong magpapasaya sa kanya. I decide to look away instead. Later, they come together sa kwarto ni Samantha just to say goodbye, because they had stuffs to attend to. I didn't say a thing as they leave the room. I was left with Samantha." Can you at least pretend that you care for me?" it was Samantha. I look at her stunned." I keep feeling na mas gusto mong samahan si Jupiter kaysa sakin A-chi, will you be honest with me, bu
Chapter 15: Realization We're back in our house, while Chase was checking on us from time to time may isang linggo narin. I also ask Nanay na sa bahay na pumunta to look after Lucas kapag wala ako. Medyo maulan ang panahon, na para bang nakikisama sa mood ko. I was having a coffee break mula sa pag-edit ng mga pictures for our catalog, Lucas on the other hand was sleeping in my room. Looking at the window I saw a familiar car passing by. 'I'm hopeless! I said to myself, hindi pa gan'on katagal kaming magkasama ni A-chi pero feeling ko ang tagal na naming hindi nagkita, ang bilis kong nasananay na nandyan s'ya sa tabi ko, kaya pakiramdam ko malaking bahagi ang nawala sakin, but we need too in order to carry on with our lives. Siguro nga maling mali ang mga desisyon ko, maybe I should really have stayed. Naramdaman kong may ngbalot sakin ng blanket,
