Chapter 28 | Lost
Marcus said we'd talk about it after breakfast, but I wasn't in the mood to eat breakfast with him, and even more so this morning. I was in such a bad mood that I couldn't even bear listening to him speak to me. He tried everything to lighten my mood, but nothing worked. With a cold stomach, I ate my breakfast and waited for him to join me in the living room. I'd already done what he wanted, so I was hoping he'd finally openly admit to me now.
“Aren’t you going to get ready first?” Marcus asked when he came near me.
I swayed my head. “Hindi ako papasok hangga’t hindi natin ‘to napag-uusapan.”
He sighed. “Don’t be stubborn, Ian.”
“Stubborn?&rdq

Chapter 29 | LightLumipas ang mga araw pero para bang tumigil na ang oras sa akin.Wala na akong ibang matandaan kung hindi ang mga pagtatalo namin ni Marcus nitong mga nakaraang araw. Hindi na tugma ang mga desisyon namin. Wala na ang dating pagsasama na para bang may malaking pader na umusbong sa pagitan namin. Hindi na kami magkaisa tulad na noon na nadadaan pa sa usap at lambing.“It’s not their fault, Ian,” he kept on convincing me, “I told you already, it was me who first initiated to help them!”“Oo nga, kaya nga nakikiusap ako ngayon sa ‘yo na tigilan mo na ‘yang help mo dahil ako na ang gagawa ng paraan para sa pamilya ko—”“I told you it’s fine

Chapter 30 | Done While my eyes were still closed, I gradually lifted my head. My skin felt the cold water dripping all over my recently washed face. When my nerves had settled down, I let out a heavy sigh. My gaze was drawn to my reflection in the mirror in front of me, but I couldn't stare at myself for too long. My current state was such a horrible sight to behold, I didn't like who I had become. I was anxious throughout Arist's entire homecoming party because the memories that I’d buried deep all came back at once as if they just got released from a cage and were hungry for freedom. This... entire place was my biggest source of anxiety. This place, which I had only visited once, had such an impact on me that it triggered both my mind and body. I never asked Arist about his search for his biological parents be
Lover of Mine Chapter 31
Chapter 31 | StealI'd been touring Troyen for the last four consecutive days since I had to attend the orientation set for recently recruited models of the casino, but my eyes still couldn't get used to the casino's whole surroundings.This was the first place I had visited after a long time being imprisoned inside our old apartment and I admit that this was a bit too much for me to process. The casino always had numerous guests, it never had any empty seats, and I kept on practicing myself on how to properly communicate and handle such crowds.My attention was drawn to the magnificent interior design of the whole casino, everything was glamorous from the floor up to the ceiling as I entered the lobby. It was so sophisticated that I couldn’t decide which part to describe first. I already went to the oth

Chapter 32 | Help“Going to work, ate Ian?”Mikael Trojan, Marcus' younger brother, caught my attention the next day when he asked me that question. I thought of him as a quiet kid because he wasn't really that talkative and friendly around me, and usually we would just nod our heads lightly whenever we bumped into each other.“Ah, yes, how about you? Going somewhere?” I asked back just to have something to say.He timidly swayed his head. “I just want to ask if what I heard is real…”My body stilled. I anticipated whatever question he was about to ask. “What is it?”“Arist isn’t back yet and when I asked kuya Marc
Lover of Mine Chapter 33
Chapter 33 | RestIt's been three days since Arist was admitted to the hospital, and Ma'am Olivia told me last night that he'd probably be back by tomorrow, which upset me because I'd have to deal with him again.I hadn't got the chance to visit my relatives back in our compound yet due to work, and I didn't know how to get there by myself without anyone noticing. I was worried of being caught by anyone because they might tell Arist when he returned. I couldn't put my whole trust in the driver who was working for me, and I didn't have enough money to commute on my own.I woke up earlier than everyone in the household, not that I had enough sleep. Today was my last chance to escape and visit the old place we used to live, and I badly wanted to go, even if it meant walking all the way from here! But I hadn't moved an
Lover of Mine Chapter 34
Chapter 34 | BleedIt was exactly the same as before... that I'd wake up with no memory of what had happened before I fell asleep. On previous occasions, I'd wake up while lying on the cold floor of our old living room, and on other occasions, I'd gain consciousness inside the bathroom. I couldn't describe what happened; all I could recall was what I was doing before I was in that scenario.Gaya na lamang ngayon sa aking paggising. Magaan ang aking pakiramdam habang nakahilatay ang katawan sa malambot na puting kama. Sakto lamang ang lamig ng silid na aking nadama at ang liwanag galing sa ceiling ang unang bumungad sa aking paningin sa pagdilat. Hindi ko pa gaanong marinig ang aking paligid ngunit batid kong may dalawang taong nag-uusap sa bandang sulok ng silid.Sinubukan kong ipikit at idilat muli ang aking mga ma

Chapter 35 | Confess If offered the opportunity to not wake up again, I would gladly accept it. I had already given up everything as my eyes began losing their vision as the wildfire around me burned furiously. I was ready to leave everything behind once and for all, including the memories I held dearest. That night, I realized that this was the end of my life. I was so disheartened to see another day after all those sacrifices. Para akong harap-harapang niloko ng kapalaran. Parang tanga, handa na nga akong mawala ng tuluyan sa mundo tapos matatagpuan ko ang aking sarili na nasagip mula sa apoy na gano’n kalakas? Ni wala man lang akong nakuhang galos, sugat o pinsala sa katawan na akala mo ay wala ako noong nangyari ang
Lover of Mine Chapter 36
Chapter 36 | Home“Ano?” naguguluhan kong tanong kay Marcus.Noong una ay nagduda na rin ako kung totoo ba talagang sila ang tunay na pamilya ni Arist dahil bukod sa malayo ang pisikal na katangian ni Arist sa kanilang ama ay hindi ko rin madama ang dugong Zorron sa kanya. Wala akong sapat na ebidensya upang patunayang hindi siya Zorron ngunit malakas ang kutob ko noong parang may mali.At hindi nga ako nagkamali!Kalaunan ay tinanggap ko na lang ang mga nangyari dahil napansin kong seryoso talaga silang lahat tungkol sa pagiging half-brother ni Arist ngunit… ang marinig ang katotohanang ito galing kay Marcus mismo ay nagpatunay na tama ang hinala ko noong una.Bakit nila nilinlang si Arist?
