Chapter 37
Third POV
Not long after, the party started. There were a lot of activities but unlike Isa who actively participated, Sydnee just sat on the corner while silently watching the ongoing activities. Her eyes squinted when she saw how Isa accidentally kissed her guy partner when the latter tried to lift Isa.
She bit her lip to prevent herself from laughing. Isa had her brows furrowed and her eyes frequently throw daggers to the guy who held her. When the contest was over, Isa and her partner did not win which made Isa frustrated. When the guy realized how bad the girl's temper was, he immediately fled to the crowd.
Sydnee's lips curved into a sweet smile when she saw Isa walking back to her direction. Then she looked around again. Anthony was still nowhere to be seen.
"That bastard!" Isa cursed under her breath then looked at her. "You should participate!"
She shook her head. "Sit down and watch them play games."
Isa snorted th

A deafening silence echoed in the sorrounding. It made Sydnee's breath hitched. She swallowed hard and waited for Anthony to speak but the latter did not show any emotion. He just stood there, silently watching her. "Umm..." She looked away and tried to ease the uncomfortable feeling in her chest. "I-I like you. Don't misunderstand that. I just want to say ---" "Sydnee," Anthony stopped her then he looked away, just like she did. "It's cold. Let's get inside." She spent a few seconds before she look at Anthony. The latter was looking at the black horizon in the distance. Sydnee lowered her head. "I want to go home." Sighing, she turned and took a step towards the parking lot. She knew it. Anthony was not into her. And why should he be? Sydnee swallowed hard, blinking away the tears brimming in her eyes. There was a pang in her chest but she ignored it. She knew that she and Anthony would not... Footsteps were heard in the cold night and leaves were rustling around her. She knew t

But she had decided and she would not put any more pressure on Anthony. Maybe, he would come back to his hometown soon after she leave. She curved her lips into a faint smile and then turned towards the entrance. Her foot took a step forward, then another, and then she was completely out of the gate. The sun was high in the clouds but the wind was cool, blowing into her, touching her skin. She walked back home.It was only three in the afternoon when she stopped walking forward. A few meters away from her, she saw the small nipa hut which seemed familiar yet unfamiliar to her. It was months since she last saw the hut and seeing it again, she could not describe her feelings. She breathed deeply and then continued taking steps forward. She had been walking under the sun for nearly five hours and occasionally stopped at waiting sheds to drink water she bought at the store and to shed from the sun. When it come to perseverance, she stood in the rank. She was used walking to where she

Sydnee pushed the table to hinder the woman from approaching her. She turned around and ran her way out of the house. Frustrated screams could be heard from inside the hut but she did not mind it at all. The good thing was that she still have her backpack which contain all her important things. Now, she needed to find shelter and to ask for help. But she did not know where to ask for help. She spent nearly an hour running away from home before she slowly stopped. She bend and put her hands on her knees, panting hard. Her back was drench in sweat and beads of sweat accumulate in her forehead. A few minutes later, she stood straight and looked around. She was standing in sidewalk and occasional cars were seen passing by the highway. Her forehead creased. She was not familiar with the street. Where was she? She looked sideways and the afternoon glow of the sun shone on her face. She squinted her eyes and turned back. A car was seen parking two meters away from her. The backseat window

She blew a breathe and shook her head, trying to erase the heaviness in her chest. The sun had set on the west and darkness slowly engulfed the sorrounding. The driver invited her to the car, and although she was skeptical, she still followed along. It felt surreal yet she had no choice.IT WAS noon when Anthony opened his eyes. There was a faint noises in the neighborhood and the wind was blowing in and out of the window. He sat up and looked at the clock on the bedside table. Then he got up and took a bath. When he walked out of his room, the landline rang. He went back to his room to answer the call. "Anthony, come back home. His Royal Highess wants you and your dad's presence in the banquet." There was a pause between him and his mother. Then he sighed. "I'll go." His voice was hoarse. "What? Are you still asleep?" "Nay." He looked on the window. He heard his mother sighed on the other line. "Your time is up. You should resign in that academy. Now that the king wants you to
Kissing The Wind Chapter 42
It is not a secret that rulers live in a seclusive area. It is an area that was built since the ancient monarchical era of the country. There, a broken castle was still standing against the test of time and one mile from it is where the mansion of Duke Theodore was built. Duke Theodore is the duke of Obando, a state next to Consolacion, the state of Anthony's father. And standing before the enormous mansion made Sydnee felt powerless and small. It was already evening when they arrived and the maid informed Duke Theodore that Lady Geneva and Catarina had gone to Consolacion half an hour ago. The two was invited for a dinner in Duke of Consolacion's house. Sydnee wondered if Anthony also attended the said dinner. She knew little of the rulers' life so she just kept her mouth shut and silently roamed her eyes around the huge mansion. The luxury inside was a clear distinction of how the worlds of rulers and commoners were apart. It was not the kind of luxury her father had when they ha
Kissing The Wind Chapter 43
"It's alright, Miss Sydnee. Duke Theodore originally planned to visit the broken palace today. Bringing you along is nothing." Although she was skeptical of the idea, she did not want to let the duke down. So Sydnee nodded. And the sun shone brightly in the east while a group of people inside the horse carriage slowly made their way towards the fallen palace. She saw the broken palace at the distance and she did not expect it to be enormous when she stood right in front of the old and rusty palace gates. Although it was ruined, it did not hinder the majestic look of it. Duke Theodore and his entourage had stepped inside the gates so she followed after the group. It took them a few minutes before they entered the broken palace. "Say, Duke, the Lady Geneva will arrive the next day. Do you want me to arrange everything for Miss Sydnee?" asked the butler walking beside the duke. Sydnee caught a glimpse of the duke's back, who was walking ahead of her, before averting her eyes to the
Kissing The Wind Chapter 44
A day passed by after the shocking revelation of Duke Theodore, but Sydnee was still skeptical and did not believe it fully. She wanted to ask Lady Geneva if it was true, or she might ask her foster mother, Dianna. But the problem with Dianna was the woman's madness, she might kill her on the spot before she could ask. Thinking about Dianna, Sydnee could help but to sigh. She had not received any news about her from the duke and after visiting the broken palace, the duke left because of some state matters that the king gave to him. So she was still thinking where Dianna had gone into. And whether her father was buried somewhere near her former house. The wall clock ticked by and Sydnee was still standing at the veranda of her room. It was daybreak. The sun rays brought warmth on the sorrounding. It was a perfect morning if not due to a lone car's arrival. She peeked from the railing and her eyes blinked when she saw a girl around seventeen to eighteen y
Kissing The Wind Chapter 45
There was a pin drop silence in the room. Sydnee blinked for a few times before she regained her composure. Mistress? Was Lady Geneva serious? She was just a high school student. Could it be that Lady Geneva think that Duke Theodore and she had a relationship? That's absurd. Thinking about that makes Sydnee want to puke. "Mama, what are you saying? Dad has a mistress?" Catarina then glared at Sydnee. "And the mistress is she? Come on, Dad is pricky. He won't choose a child."She mentally slapped her forehead upon hearing Catarina's words. Sydnee thought that the girl would speak for her, who knew that she would just add fuel to the fire?Lady Geneva's lips twitched. She hummed and looked away. "If you don't want me anymore, then let's divorce!" the woman said on the other line of the phone. There was silence before the duke's assistant spoke, "Lady Geneva, are you talking about Sydnee Lurica?"When Sydnee heard her name, she froze once again. She was not accustomed to have someone,
