I cannot wait for the wedding day to be fixed. Don't mind your father. He wants you to sit at home and grow old while waiting for Anthony to notice you," Mrs. Antonia said."Mom, it's because of the friendship my dad has with Anthony's father," Lerisa replied."I know. Let's forget about Anthony and speak about the wedding planning. Have you invited the organizers yet?" Mrs. Antonia asked, as she stood in the living room, staring at Lerisa's face."No, Mom. Remy said that his parents' wedding anniversary is this month. So, we will shift the wedding date until August.

Anthony entered the house after securing the gate. He felt a deep sense of sadness, but he was powerless to change his circumstances.He stepped into the living room of his lavishly decorated apartments and grabbed a bottle of wine, ready to indulge.Anthony recalled catching a glimpse of Lerisa and Remy at the church. They appeared to be incredibly content in each other's company. As his phone began to ring, he glanced at the caller ID and noticed it was the car dealer on the line."Get rid of the car." "I don't need it anymore," Anthony stated, confidently explaining that he had planned and saved up to buy the car. However, with Benita's heartbreak, everything changed.

Later that day, Benita decided to give Anthony a call to inquire about his whereabouts.Anthony had spent a considerable amount of time in the bathtub. Upon his release, he noticed a series of missed calls from Benita-05. Anthony's face contorted into a frown. He decided against returning her call and had no interest in spending time with Benita anymore.She was just like Clara, and Anthony had grown tired of both of them. As he entered his closet, he carefully selected the clothes he desired to wear. Anthony donned a cream shirt and black pants. He descended the stairs to the living room, where he found his mother. He shared with her his plans to leave the house and head to his new place. He explained that there were still some adjustments to be made, as the house was currently under development and many of the home appliances were not yet complete."Alright, Anthony. "Will you be returning home today?" "What's the matter?" Mrs. Beatrice inquired, her face filled with concern. There
After Lerisa had slipped into her delicate nightgown, she gracefully made her way out of her room to join her parents for dinner. With a smile on his face, her father came home and shared the news of spotting her at the wedding anniversary."Dad, I was hanging out with a friend," Lerisa said with a smile as she helped her mother set the dining table."I understand." The Creed family are hardworking individuals, not to be mistaken for anything less. "You can invite the young man over to come with his family for your hand in marriage," Mr. Fred suggested, to which Lerisa agreed, "Okay, Dad.""Alright, it's time for us to enjoy our dinners. Where could James be? Mr. Fred inquired, to which Lerisa responded again, "Upon my arrival with Anthony, I believe I caught a glimpse of James exiting the house.""Okay," Mr. Fred fell silent, his mind filled with uncertainty about Lerisa's intentions with Anthony.Lerisa found herself perched on the dining table. She considered it a good idea to fina
Anthony stood next to his sleek vehicle, observing Lerisa as she made her way towards him. He detected the smell of alcohol on her."Hey, are you heading back to your place?" Lerisa approached Anthony, feigning ignorance of her recent avoidance of him."Certainly." What is it that you desire?" Anthony inquired of her. Lerisa gazed at Anthony's face, her lower lip caught between her teeth as she replied, "You.""Lerisa, I've already made it clear that we cannot pursue a romantic relationship. Do you not understand?" "Anthony asked," he said. But just as Lerisa was about to respond, Remy exited the house after noticing that Lerisa wasn't still inside the event hall.He went outside to look for Lerisa and found her standing in front of Anthony, next to his car."Hey there!" Remy called out to Lerisa and approached her.He turned her around to face him, paying no attention to Anthony being there. "Why didn't you let me know that you were already leaving?" Remy asked Lerisa a question."I
Lerisa smiled and looked at Remy's face. "That will be nice," she told him. But deep in her heart, she knew she longed to be with Anthony, not Remy."Yes, I know. So, what are you saying about my marriage proposal? I gave you an engagement ring, and you rejected it. Can I come over to see your family now?" Remy took a few sips from his wine glass cup, and he saw Lerisa's frown on her face."No, not yet," she said, hoping not to reveal her emotions again."Why are you still delaying us from getting married? Don't you trust me?" Remy asked, sitting on the long blue couch beside Lerisa.He was looking at her cute face. Remy was feeling to pull Lerisa close and kiss her. He had forgotten to request a non-alcoholic wine, and the wine he got was a little alcohol.Lerisa was already feeling drunk. She smiled and replied, "It is not that I don't like you. I do, but..." Her words trailed, and Remy eagerly asked her, "But what? Tell me what you need me to adjust to, and I am ready to become the
Mrs. Antonia walked out of the house gate with Lerisa, and they spotted Anthony and Remy there.Remy stood beside his car door while Anthony looked back at the gate. Lerisa's mother inquired, "What's going on here, Anthony?""Ma, Lerisa doesn't look appropriately dressed, and I just informed her about it. "Mrs. Antonia smiled as she looked from Lerisa to Anthony. "But Lerisa is only going out with Remy; it's not like she's going somewhere else.""I know, Mother. But for Lerisa's safety. Let her go back inside and change her clothes.""No, Mother. I am not going back to change my clothes. This almost afternoon, and I have to leave now with Remy," Lerisa insisted, looking away from Anthony.Lerisa stood beside her mother while Remy sighed and walked up to meet Her. Remy remarked, "Anthony, go back to your house or call your girlfriend on the phone. Why can't you stay away from Lerisa? What do you want from her? Do you want to court her? Why show care when she's not your sister?"Lerisa
After James left her room, Lerisa reluctantly rose from her bed, showing no interest in seeking out Anthony.As Lerisa entered her bathroom, she chose to indulge in a relaxing bath. She gracefully removed her garments and stepped beneath the soothing stream of the shower.James exited Lerisa's room and stepped outside to notify Anthony of Lerisa's imminent arrival.Meanwhile, Mr. Fred was engaged in conversation with Anthony and warmly invited him to join them inside the house for breakfast.Anthony had just completed his usual Saturday morning workout. As he was going past Lerisa's family house, he thought it would be nice to stop by and say hello.Despite Anthony's apprehension, he couldn't help but notice that Lerisa was actively avoiding him and had blocked him on all social platforms.
